[opensuse] Advice needed re getting setting right for new monitor
by Basil Chupin 28 Mar '14

28 Mar '14

I just hooked up a new 27" LG monitor which has 2560x1440 resolution to my 13.1 system and using DVI-D cable. [#] Previously I was using a 24" monitor with 1920x1080 resolution which was connected using HDMI cable. The video card I am using in Nvidia Geforce 660 which can handle the 2560x1440 resolution. OK, I knew that I would have to make adjustments in 13.1 for this new monitor but: * when I boot the computer I do not see the GRUB menu; * it takes a loooong time to finally get the normal oS theme (which shows the gecko on the 'vine' tree on the RH of the screen; and * there is nothing else visible - normally you see the user name and the request to enter the logon password, but this is not visible; * on a hunch I typed in the password and got logged in. After I logged in I went to use the nVidia settings (Gecko>Applications>Applications>Nvidia X Server Settings) and while the settings recognised the monitor and its resolution I could not save the setting to /etc/X11/xorg.conf because I did "not have root" privileges. Trying to login as root fails because, as I stated above, the login menu is invisible. Also, running 'nvidia-xconfig' a root in a terminal when logged in as myself as the user does not seem to produce the necessary results in /etc/X11/xorg.conf because rebooting results in the same result as mentioned above: no Grub menu, blank screen except for the gecko on the green vine and therefore no logon menu. Can anyone suggest what I need to do to get 13.1 to boot normally - with the Grub2 menu et al? [#] The monitor is actually connected to the video card with both HDMI and DVI-D, but on the monitor the DVI-D is selected as the input. The nVidia settings in 13.1 Applications>Nvidia X Server Settings recognises both but has the DVI-D as the default connection (giving 2560x1440 resolution) while the unused HDMI connection shows 1920x1080 as the resolution - which is why I chose the DVI-D connector.

[opensuse] libvnc.so not loading - undefined symbol: _Z13getvnchomedirPPc
by Marco Schwarz 28 Mar '14

28 Mar '14

Hi, I have a problem with loading libvnc.so in 13.1, 32Bit with latest Patches. I enabled the loading of libvnc.so in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-libvnc.conf, and set the password. Now when I start X I get the following: [ 3.951] (II) LoadModule: "vnc" [ 3.952] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libvnc.so [ 3.959] (EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libvnc.so: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libvnc.so: undefined symbol: _Z13getvnchomedirPPc [ 3.959] (II) UnloadModule: "vnc" [ 3.959] (II) Unloading vnc [ 3.959] (EE) Failed to load module "vnc" (loader failed, 7) Anybody got a idea what could be wrong here ?

[opensuse] Install on RAID 1 with local disk and iscsi disk
by Paul Neuwirth 28 Mar '14

28 Mar '14

Hallo, as mentioned in another thread, i was going to install opensuse 13.1 64bit on several computers with root on a raid 1 containing a local disk's partition and an iscsi device. Unexpectedly installation using yast went very smooth, even initrd was build with suppoirt of iscsi and md (not so installing with nfsroot). But after reboot all machines stopped with following message: EXT4-fs (md0): unable to read superblock network, iscsi and md initiated correctly.. manually (using other install on nfsroot) have no problem to mount the filesystem: [ 25.567704] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Attached SCSI disk [ 26.632597] md: bind<sda2> [...] [57822.801442] Loading iSCSI transport class v2.0-870.

[opensuse] zypper DownloadAsNeeded option (was : zypper dup and free space)

Wonderful option ! 2 main advantages : - The network is used more smoothly. Instead of using 100% bandwidth and then 0% during rpm installations. - Most important for new users, the counter is updated during the whole process. Before, you had a message "1990/2000 (done)" , and when you reached the end, you had to spend about the same time for installation steep. Shouldn't it be the default ? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

by James Knott 27 Mar '14

I was just looking in Kinfocenter and noticed that it doesn't show my IPv6 address, just the IPv4. Given that IPv6 is becoming more prevalent, perhaps this shortcoming should be addressed. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] trying to upgrade lvm2 tools
by Per Jessen 27 Mar '14

27 Mar '14

On openSUSE 12.3, lvm2 was built without '--with-thin=internal' to enable thin provisioning. Sometime after 12.3, the package spec was updated to build with this option. I wanted to see if updating to the package from 13.1 would do the trick: # rpm --upgrade --test lvm2-2.02.98-0.28.14.1.x86_64.rpm package lvm2-2.02.98-20.2.1.x86_64 (which is newer than lvm2-2.02.98-0.28.14.1.x86_64) is already installed "which is newer" ?? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (6.8°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - dedicated server rental in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
