Re: [opensuse] Cannot install SUSE 10.0 - only get a black screen immediately after Grub
The SUSE installer worked OK, but when the comptuer did it's initial reboot during the install, we only got a black screen immediately after the normal Grub menu. Unplugged the data cables from the SATA drives and tried again. This time it worked, and SUSE was able to boot and finish installing. Try the kernel parameter edd=off and report back. Tried it... went from 100% failure to intermittent failure on boot. Disabled SATA, and that seems to clear up the rest of the boot problem... for Linux. Now of course with SATA disabled, we can't boot back to Windows without an extra step in the BIOS to re-enable SATA. Funny since all the other machines I installed SUSE on with SATA work fine. Granted this is an old motherboard with an early SATA controller... Still looking for a real solution... my brother (a new Linux user) still has it firmly drilled into his brain that Linux is too hard to use - fuelled by this hardware/software problem I've been trying to work him through. :-( C. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[opensuse] Installing Slimserver on 10.0
Hello all, Since I wanted to stream my audio collection accross my home lan I looked for a streaming server to do this. My google ended with Slimserver. However, I am failing to get it up and running under Suse 10.0. Has anybody succeeded here or is there a better alternative I should be aware of? The slimserver rpm is no good, it installs but the init.d script is broken. After some searching I found an alternative init.d script which was proposed for suse 9.3. I replaced the script and now at least init.d tells me slimserver can be started. However I cant connect to localhost:9000 and no appropriate process seems to be listening on port 9000. So I tried the perl scripts from the tar.gz, tried to run that but got a segmentation fault. Google told me this was a bug and I had to rename DBI.xx to DBI.old. Tried again, no seg fault but still not working. Turned out I was missing two perl packages (DBD-sqlite and IO-zlib), turned out they were not in any of my yast installation sources (which surprised me) but I found them after some googling as well. Now the sqlite error has disappeard but I still get $ ./slimserver.pl --daemon The following modules failed to load: Compress::Zlib To download and compile them, please run: /home/dgorissen/rpms/SlimServer_v6.2.0/Bin/build-perl-modules.pl Turns out that last pl file does not exist So I give up It always pisses me off that for a given multi platform program there is always a nice and easy point and click installer for windows but (usually) cmdline hell for linux (unless if you're lucky its packaged by your distro). I know its less trivial to write such an installer for linux due to its heterogenity (though solutions like klik and autopkg exist), etc, etc. but why always this assumption that linux users dont mind this messing about and that its part of the linux experience... Anyways dont mean to troll or anything, just sometimes you dont have the time :) Nevertheless go go go Suse and god do I love YaST :) Any help greatly appreciated :) Cheers Dirk -- Dirk Gorissen PhD Student Antwerp University Homepage: www.azungu.be - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [opensuse] Cannot install SUSE 10.0 - only get a black screen immediately after Grub
Then your problem is clear. You have a BIOS bug. Dang... Ok, that's something we can deal with.. have to go hunting on the MSI site for a new BIOS and flash it. My brother can do that... I hope :-) sata controller BIOS). Explanation: The EDD code calls into the BIOS before the kernel enters protected mode, so if that call hangs, your machine will not boot. Interesting.. that's good to know... Hm, is your computer by any chance manufactured by Fujitsu-Siemens? Nope. It's a home built system, assembled from various individual bits. Did I understand correctly that you can boot into Linux with SATA enabled and edd=off? If not, can you find a pattern when Linux with SATA works, like only the first time after switching on the machine, or only if no CD/DVD was in any drive or something like that? I tried listing all the combinations we've tried... but I have ot check again with my brother... just to be sire... so I'll try to follow up on this later. We do have a fairly repeatable pattern where Linux will boot initially (without the edd=off param), but if we enable SATA at any point and boot to Windows, then disable SATA and try to boot Linux it's dead, and remains dead. only a reinstall seems to resurrect it again. Using edd=off, and with SATA enabled, we were able to get it working, but there were still intermittent boot problems - sometimes it will take 3 or 4 tries to get Linux to boot. We will try a BIOS update, and I'll try to get a complete list of the combinations we've tried and results...

[opensuse] Request for Codenames for SUSE Linux 10.1, 10.2
During the 10.0 beta phase we had the theme Towns of Development teams and used these for Codenames like Prague, Boston etc. 10.1 Alpha1 was named Auckland under the same theme. For the future, I'd like to open the discussion on what we do. I propose the following policy: * We only use one Codename for the whole release, e.g. for the whole 10.1 release cycle, no codenames for snapshots or betas. * We have a theme that we can use for all our codenames, so the 10.1 and 10.2 codenames have the same theme. * A codename should be able to be visualized. I'd like to have e.g. a different photo on the grub boot screen for each Alpha/Beta etc. - all under the same codename. So, there should be different ways to visualize the object that are interesting and we can easily get say ten variations. What do you think of this? So, let's open a competition: Send your proposals for a theme together with some examples for codenames and how they can be visualized. An example: Theme: Towns of Development Teams Codenames: Prague, Boston, Nuernberg,... Visualization: Photo of a place in the town. I've created a wiki page for this, please add your proposals there, it is: http://www.opensuse.org/CodenameCompetition I'd like to choose 5 out of the proposals and then let's vote for the Codenames. Let's collect codenames for the next 7 days (until end of 2005-11-20) and then vote on them.

Can anyone offer advice? For released versions of SUSE Linux go to the appropriate mailing list such as suse-linux-e for this topic. You will get lots more help there. Most people on this list are focused on issues with making the next released version as bug free as possible. Check the cable, switch it for another known good one. Switch to a different port on the Ethernet switch. Try a different Ethernet switch. Double check your options for the driver. Doesn't look like they are correct becasue it complains when loaded.

Re: [opensuse] KDE styles missing after update of fresh OSS install

I googled around, tried deleting my .kde dir and installing a new style (baghira) but to no avail... Though I suspect it to be something trivial. Any pointers?

[opensuse] Opensuse and alps Touchpad
Hi all, I recently installed Opensuse on my Toshiba Satellite 2430 Laptop. Everything worked fine out of the box. Today, as I rebooted the system, suddenly the touchpad (alps) didn't move anymore. My external USB mouse works fine, though. I tried to change the configuration via Sax2, but nothing helped. Here are my xorg.conf entries: Section InputDevice Driver mouse Identifier Mouse[1] Option Buttons 7 Option Device /dev/input/mice Option Emulate3Buttons on Option Name ExplorerPS/2 on USB Option Protocol ExplorerPS/2 Option Vendor USB-Mouse Option ZAxisMapping 4 5 EndSection Section InputDevice Driver synaptics Identifier Mouse[3] Option AccelFactor 0.01 Option BottomEdge 650 Option CircScrollDelta 0.1 Option CircScrollTrigger 2 Option CircularScrolling 1 Option Device /dev/input/mice Option EdgeMotionMaxSpeed 15 Option EdgeMotionMinSpeed 15 Option Emulate3Buttons on Option EmulateMidButtonTime 75 Option FingerHigh 15 Option FingerLow 14 Option HorizScrollDelta 20 Option LeftEdge 120 Option MaxSpeed 0.5 Option MaxTapMove 110 Option MaxTapTime 180 Option MinSpeed 0.2 Option Name Touchpad Option Protocol auto-dev Option RightEdge 830 Option SHMConfig on Option TopEdge 120 Option UpDownScrolling 1 Option Vendor ALPS Option VertScrollDelta 20 Option ZAxisMapping 4 5 EndSection Section ServerLayout Identifier Layout[all] InputDevice Keyboard[0] CoreKeyboard InputDevice Mouse[3] CorePointer InputDevice Mouse[1] SendCoreEvents Option Clone off Option Xinerama off Screen Screen[0] EndSection My guesses are: some modules are not loaded (correctly) or the driver doesn't work properly any more. Unfortunately I am a complete Linux/SuSe Newbie and don't know what to do or where to look next. I would appreciate any help and tips, because I really would like to be able to use my touchpad again without installing everything new.

There are always people who ignore the rules :-/ ) Oh, we don't need an own mailinglist for netiquette discussions as there is for suse-linux - empirically, netiquette discussions (aka endless threads) will *always* go to the main list :-/ - Subcribing / unsubscribing / archiving Also an important topic, although it is already covered by the existing Communicate page IMHO. (If you consider this unclear/not enough/whatever, this page should be updated. Please don't create a page about how to use the Communicate page ;-) - ...? - Searching the archives (yes, this has been discussed already and I hope you are allowed to include a Google search. Christoph, are there any news about that?) - What do all those abbr. ;-) mean? (things like AFAIK, IIRC, IMHO, ...) - I have a problem. What can I do to solve it on myself? - How does a good question look like (SUSE does not work vs. After installing SUSE 10.1 alpha2, program 'foo' exits with error message 'bar') BTW: several of this points are taken from the german www.suse-minifaq.de.vu which could also inspire us ;-) What do you think? We'd need volunteers to actually write down the stuff, and I know that some points are highly controversial and emotional. But you already are the opensuse community, and if this list can agree on a set of rules, I'd prefer those to anything that we (Novell/SUSE staff) would decree more or less arbitrarily. +1 ;-) Regards, Christian Boltz -- Man kann natürlich immer diskutieren, welche Fachbegriffe man übersetzt diskutieren ist kein Deutsches Wort, sondern ebenfalls Latein.

Re: [opensuse] no keyboard with KDE

I know it works, I just can't use it from within KDE. I can't type in a Konsole terminal... I can't use CTRL-ALT-F1 to switch to the actual console. I can't open the YaST Control Center properly because I can't type the root password when I'm prompted. If I use the mouse to log out, or end my session, I can type again... I can log in. Everything works fine in Gnome. I read something from an old message that seems to describe this problem in relation to upgrading KDE, but this is the first time I've run KDE. There was a similar bug in 9.3 beta phase, but it was fixed (and not re-introduced, 10.0 works here :-) However, here's the bugreport I made at that time - maybe it contains some points that could be useful for you. === bugreport against 9.3 beta === After booting, KDM does not accept any key press events. This means logging in is impossible. Ctrl-Alt-F1 is also impossible (switches back to X immediately). I have to kill X with SysRQ-K (Ctrl-Alt-backspace is disabled in my config) and calling rcxdm restart to make it working.
