[opensuse] ssh, cd, watch X die
by Michael Fischer 30 May '13

30 May '13

Ok, here's a "special" one. Brand new 12.3 install. In all other respects, quite happy. Now, this does NOT happen on all remote hosts, but just one. 1) ssh dmz host 2) ssh internal host 3) type cd /somewhere - hit enter 4) my local X session crashes. This is remarkably consistent with the above sequence. Any ideas what to look for? How to debug? Thanks.

[opensuse] Radeon driver
by Koenraad Lelong 29 May '13

29 May '13

Hi, I while ago I installed OS12.3 on two identical laptops. Since I had probems with the "standard" driver (radeon), I had to install the fglrx-driver. This works OK for "regular" work, but some video-intensive programs (blender, kaffeine) don't work, so I just tried to install radeon again. I followed "http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Radeon#Supported_hardware" to do that, but I don't get a graphical screen. The last I see on <crtl><alt><F7> is : [ OK ] Reached target Graphical Interface. I do have som Xorg.0.logs, but I don't see anything special, except from Xorg -configure : [ 552.311] Number of created screens does not match number of detected devices. Configuration failed. From startx : [ 813.934] (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration. [ 813.934] Fatal server error: [ 813.934] no screens found [ 813.934] (EE) Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support at http://wiki.x.org for help. [ 813.934] (EE) Please also check the log file at "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" for additional information. [ 813.934] (EE) [ 813.939] Server terminated with error (1). Closing log file. What can I do ? If anyone wants to see the full logs, where could I upoad them ? Or just post them here ?

[opensuse] low cost PC with a RS-232 port? Possibly an ARM?
by Greg Freemyer 29 May '13

29 May '13

All, I built a webserver for a rs-232 connected weatherstation from 1998 era laptop. (256 MB ram, low power CPU) I only used the screen / keyboard early on to configure things. Also the laptop never moves so there is no advantage to it being a laptop. The laptop has died so I want to replace it. I'd like the replacement to be relatively small so it can fit under a bed, etc. I've got a keyboard / mouse / monitor I can hook up for the initial build, but I would hope after that all support would be via ssh. I'd like the PC to have a rs-232 connection just because I've read the weatherstation doesn't work well with usb-to-rs232 adapters. Recommendations? Maybe an ARM based platform (one supported by openSUSE). Thanks Greg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Installing custom kernel
by Dylan 29 May '13

29 May '13

I have compiled a custom kernel (following the instructions in README.SUSE from the kernel source) to enable console rotation. I copied the config from /boot, changed the version string and enabled the console rotation. My query is, when I install the modules and kernel, will they replace the current running kernel or be installed alongside?

[opensuse] openSUSE manual in German?
by Bjoern Voigt 28 May '13

28 May '13

Hello, I was searching for the openSUSE 12.3 manuals in German. I found this package: opensuse-manuals_de, which can be installed as a RPM package: $ rpm -qi opensuse-manuals_de [...] The following manuals are included: * Start-Up * Reference * Security Guide (English) * Tuning Guide (English) * KVM Guide (English) Distribution: openSUSE 12.3 The Start-Up manual is completely German, but Reference manual is a mixture of a German introduction and the rest is English. Does anybody know, which openSUSE version or online resource contains a completely translated Reference manual in German?

[opensuse] Can't update file associations
by James Knott 28 May '13

28 May '13

I'm trying to set Firefox as the new default app for opening epub files. However, when I try to apply the setting, a box "Updating system configuration" appears and keeps cycling through 5% to 90% and back to 5% again. It never stops unless I hit cancel and never changes the file association. This worked fine on another system, both running 12.3. Any suggestions? tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
