I noticed I must be patient and maybe try a few times to install them.
The Packman, Guru and KDE repos are in the YaST "Install Sources"
afterward, so do the Additional repos. 

Eventually the Multimedia playback etc Music and Video codecs (KDE)
win32codec work OK. 

I'll try the other things over the next few days. Great scripts.

[opensuse] USB Mouse - Turns off.... then won't turn back on. USB Hard drives... can't unplug them and plug back in...

2006-08-24 Thread Michael K Dolan




I have a USB mouse from a company in the NW US that shall rename nameless and I'm using a Dell laptop... however, I'm using SLED 10 and at random times, it will power off. Then it won't "powerup" - the light goes off, the mouse doesn't work... This also happens if I say unplug the USB mouse, then try to plug it back in.

Plugging it into a different port doesn't work. In fact, the same happens with USB hard drives (although haven't had them power down) - if I unplug one, then try to plug it back in I get nothing...

Any ideas what's causing this? Is there a way to restart usb with udev or something?

I don't understand what that means.

I grepped /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/smart for the string "Yast
descriptions are not installed" and did not find a single match.

In other words, what you posted is definitely not the original text of
the error message, and helping here will be very difficult.

> What do you fix?

Nothing right now.

But wait, I just found a similar one:

"YaST2 package descriptions not loaded."

That one basically means:

rm -f /var/lib/smart/channels/*
rm -f /var/lib/smart/cache

And everything should be fine again.

I try to be very explicit about what each button does. 

Each button executes a small script - sometimes just a single command, when 
the button is not grey anymore the script is done. Hopefully succesfully - 
but things can fail. Maybe the redirect URLs handed out a bad mirror, maybe 
the user forgot to lower rug security level or update smart channels, maybe 
their internet connection is bad etc.

To get better feedback I'll recommend running it from a root terminal - that 
way you can follow the process in the terminal output. Not very noob friendly 
I know. I'll try to look into using Kommander's possibilities better in this 
respect but I'm afraid they're limited - as is documentation. And 
unfortunately my middle name is neither C++ nor Qt. But I'm considering ways 
to improve in this area - I'm looking into building a RPM - maybe I'll have 
the menu-entry always run the script in a terminal - might be a bit confusing 
to users - but they'll have more feedback - and they'll be able to see what 
goes wrong if something doesn't work right. Just an idea so far.

Btw. you can open the .kmdr file with a text-editor since it's actually just 
an xml-file - however this also means that it's not easily readable. But it's 
one way to see what the script does beforehand.

You can also open the script with kommander-editor. Simply right click on the 
buttons -> Edit Kommander-text, to see the script for each button.

2006-08-24 Thread Clayton

So what?
Yes, they demand it, no, we CANNOT deliver that right now. Full stop.


So what?  You try telling that to some new user who's interested in
this Linux thing... Saying "it's not legal to include on the SUSE DVD"
is a perfectly legitamate answer.  What I have a MAJOR issue with is
that there are NO LEGAL avenues or alternatives.  To get that much
demanded multimedia playback the user has the choice of a 3rd
party repository that is clearly at the minimum a grey area in terms
of legality in most parts of the world.

I'm not saying that SUSE is at fault here... I know the whole issue...
I understand it... and I hate it.



Ubuntu users can use (unofficial!) Debian packages - so can SUSE users
with Pakman.


BUT Ubuntu provides an easy way for users to add in those extras.
SUSE does not.  I know there are good reasons (as thrashed to death
here).  Imagine youreslef a new user... one who can't wade through the
misery that is the openSUSE wiki.  You want to play that video that
Uncle Bob emailed you.  You cannot... unless you stumble on the handy
addon that started this thread :-P



> I am fully aware of the legal implications... but as an end user I
> find it unacceptable that the solution is to not have a solution.

Windows doesn't have one. Users accept this, and install XVid, DivX,
Vorbis, etc. themselves.
Why isn't this accepted in the Linux world?!?


You're missing the point.  Windows users do have a solution.  They
have easy to find and single click install applications.  You take
your average computer user and you tell them.. Go install PowerDVD (or
whatever) in Windows.  They can because it takes very little technical
knowledge... and they have a fully legitamate solution available in
the form of a bit of software they can purchase and download. They
want to do the same in SUSE... and I have to take them to the back
room (figuratively speaking) and tell them that there is no legal way
to do it... but if they go over here... add a repository (following
cryptic info on the openSUSE Wiki)... at this point their eyes glaze
over...

Tell me... what's the difference between telling people how to add the
repositories on the openSUSE Wiki, and doing the Ubuntu thing and
including them (disabled) in the packagemanager of choice?

Anyway, I'm not trying to slag on SUSE... just voicing the frustration
I face every day when people I'm trying to help migrate to SUSE are
grousing at me about Linux etc etc.  It's not accepting that they have
to download drivers and apps separately it's the fact that there
is so often no legal solution... and what solution there is, is
complex convoluted and obsfucated.

You now, as I think of it, maybe the reason thsi isn't accepted in teh
Linux world is that when someone gets the SUSE distro, they get what
appears to be a complete solution.  They get all the apps.. they get
Openoffice, The Gimp, GAIM, Kopete, video players, browsers...
everything.. except the bit the really want... the elusive multimedia.
Maybe this is why the new users get cranky... I don't know.  I do
know I hate being on the front lines and facing them some days



Yes, there might be support for some codecs in the future, yes, we do
know about everyone wanting this to work on a basic system, yes, we do
work on it, no, it won't come fast.


I know... :-)

As much as I detest Real Player what about the announcement that
they are licensing the Windows media codecs including WMV... like they
did with MP3.  While I will continue to use Guru and Packman
solutions... the Real Media way would probably work fine for the new
users.

Neither ATI nor NVIDIA allow us to ship their drivers with our products
if I remember correctly. So there is not much we can do.
ALso while NVIDIA is "barely" accepted legal wise from the Kernel community,
the ATI kernel driver is supposed to have GPL problems. (IANAL)

Note also that you MUST NOT give "suidperl" root s-bits, as it is

The right place for the s-bit is sperl, i.e. /usr/bin/sperl5.8.8

Follow-up on this question / discussion in the latest Novell Open Audio
Episode: Ted admits he got it wrong ;-)

See http://www.novell.com/company/podcasts/openaudio.html, the rest of
the episode contains interviews with the SUSE Autobuild and QA teams
which might be interesting for you as well.

cheers,
Sonja
