[opensuse-factory] ext3 external journal impossible?
Anybody an idea why (unlike with xfs or reiserfs) I could not manage to make an ext3 filesystem with external journal. After mkfs.ext3 -b 4096 -O /dev/sda5 /dev/hda7 I get: Unvollständige Dateisystem-Option gesetzt: /dev/sda5 And after mke2fs -b 4096 -n -j -J device=/dev/hda7 /dev/sda5 I end up with Filesystem has unexpected block size beim Versuch, das Journal-Device /dev/hda7 zu öffnen at the very end of the process.

Strange. Using a ram disk as journal device is totally and utterly pointless. You might as well disable journalling completely then. The whole idea of keeping a journal is to have a log of metadata changes in case of a crash. If this log is kept in ram, it will be gone, making it completely useless I can't say why it should be slower, but since it shouldn't be used at all, it doesn't seem to matter much - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[opensuse-factory] video configuration - multiple modes and virtual size
I have problems with the sax2 configuration panel. this is not recent, but is still there in 10.2. I don't see how I can manage to have several screen definition (640x480, 800x600...) or a virtual definition (800x600 on 640x480 screen) of course, I know how to add this with vi :-). the problem is quite unpleasant, mostly because it's bearly impossible to know what is the real size used by X - one need to go through xorg logs and they are not easy to read. ity's not either possible to know what bit size is used (8 bits, 16bits...). so it's necessary to use edit/try, comment out all but one mode, until the result is done. I remember the time where it was possible to do this with yast... before the sax interface change :-( nota bene: may be this is specially a problem for me on this computer because the neomagic card/screen don't accept the xorg.conf file values. With only 800x600 configured (default), the gnome screen definition applet displays 800x600, but the screen IS 640x480. It accepts 800x600 virtual, but I have to do this manually. jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://dodin.org/mediawiki/index.php/GPS_Lowrance_GO - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Therefor, what is the correct parts to be added as respective server name? url path? Any suggestions? Yast2 --- Installation source --- add --- specific url --- and in the url box enter something like ftp://closest_mirror/pub/mirrors/opensuse/opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/suse where closest_mirror is one of the mirrors closest to you. The actual full path may differ depending on the mirror but if you point to the directory that contains the repodata directory(usually suse), it should install ok. If it just hangs for an extended period it may be due to low bandwidth from the mirror and you may need to try an alternative. Also, if you use the add local directory option and check the iso image box, you can browse to the iso image you may have used to burn the cds or dvd and add it as an installation source. This saves you from having to insert the disk(s) each time you want to add packages from it. Granted, this won't help for packages only present on the factory mirrors elsewhere but it will save you from wasting bandwidth for any package already present on the installation disk(s). - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

HTH. One more idea, since at least once it appeared you had a problem with the initrd, while you are in the chroot, you could rerun the mkinitrd command and make sure it finishes without error. HTH. As Joe suggests, rerunning mkinitrd is worth a try based on what you see. After the upgrade to beta1, I ran into a case where the upgrade somehow removed the initrd image completely and had to recreate it. Using the installation disk allowed me to boot the system even with this image missing. If you haven't already done something else that would render this next portion nonapplicable, try the following after booting into the system w/ the installation disk to create a new initrd image: cd /boot mv initrd-2.6.18.2-4-default initrd-2.6.18.2-4-default.notworking.old Modify 2.6.18.2-4-default above(10.2 beta2 version) to match your current version which you can view with the output of uname -a. rm initrd (or mv initrd initrd.notworking.old) mkinitrd -k vmlinuz-2.6.18.2-4-default -i initrd-2.6.18.2-4-default (your new initd-2.6.18.2-4 image should now be present) and/or for the xen image mkinitrd -k vmlinuz-2.6.18.2-4-xen -i initrd-2.6.18.2-4-xen Note that running just 'mkinitrd' with no options will create the default image that matches your current kernel vmlinuz image. recreate symbolic link(s) ln -s /boot/initrd-2.6.18.x-y /boot/initrd where 2.6.18.x-y above is the version number you just created Verify that the symbolic links named /boot/initrd /boot/vmlinuz point to matching version numbers . # ll initrd initrd - initrd-2.6.18.2-4-default and confirm that this version matches the vmlinuz image version # ll vmlinuz vmlinuz - vmlinuz-2.6.18.2-4-default You could also check for matching versions this before rerunning mkinitrd and if they don't match, it might be the problem. Thanks to you, Joe and to Darryl for your assistance and I ask for some time to digest all that has been suggested because I am finding it just a tad hard going trying to get it all into perspective. I am finding that what I expect to find I am not finding and what I read (eg in the Suse manual) is not as explicit as I would like so it is kinda confusing me. For example, above you state that doing uname -a will give me the current version of the kernel I am using. After a bit of puzzlement I realised (I think!) that when one boots into a 'broken' system using the installation DVD the uname -a command shows the version of the kernel used by the installation DVD to boot into the OS and *not* the actual kernel installed in the OS. For example, after booting using the 10.1 Installation DVD uname -a shows that the kernel is 2.6.16.13-4 but the kernel now actually in place is 2.6.16.21-0.25 and, of course, initrd etc also have this same (latter) number. It took a few minutes to work out why you said that not using any parameters with the mkinitrd command will create a default image which will match the current kernel - in this case being the old ...16.13-4 kernel which is not what I need. This of course would explain why booting from the DVD works even though there is a corruption in,say, initird because it is the kernel etc which is on the DVD which is used and until the damage is repaired the OS continues to run on the old kernel etc. At least this is what I make of it :-) . I'll recreate the initrd as described later today after rereading all that has been stated 'cause I don't want to mess things up even more and have to reinstall not only 10.1 but XP as well even though I only use it once in a blue moon.

[opensuse] Xen +Suse 10/2 +Latitude D820 Howto
Here is how I installed WinXPsp2 (Dell OEM) in Xen Kernel under Suse
10.2 Beta2. I later updated to RC1.
Machine is Dell Latitude D820 w/ Core 2 Duo T7600 processor (2.33 GHz),
2 GB Ram, 100 GB 7200 RPM Hitachi SATA disk drive, A04 BIOS version, and
a CD/DVD RW drive. Video is Nvidia Geforce Go 7300 with 1680X1050
Display.
I had tried Suse 10.1 (Xen 3.0.2) and Red Hat FC6 (Xen 3.0.3) both
32-bit and 64-bit installations. Suse, in both cases, would hang about
3/4 of the way through installion and only way to reboot was the power
switch. FC6 would lock up the same place, but only the virtual machine.
Suse 10.2 Beta2 did not have the YAST Xen module, so I done a manual
setup. I first created a virtual disk using the example from
http://en.opensuse.org/Xen_Full_Virtualization_Example.
#cd /var/lib/xen/images
#dd if=/dev/zero of=windisk.img bs=1k seek=1k count=1
#dd if=/dev/zero of=windisk.img bs=1k count=1 conv=notrunc
Had problems getting that to work until I realized I had to uncomment
the boot=d to boot from the cdrom image.
I copied the WinXP cdrom with ImageMagic to my harddrive and used it as
I had seen somewhere that Suse recommended this.
I then changed the disk= line as shown below in the winxp.hvm file.
After WinXP start installing, I changed the boot=d to boot=c. I
almost fell over when the WinXP installation completed and it started.
Maximum resolution in WinXP with the Cirrus driver is only 1280X1024
with 16-bit color, not that great.
Other problems I have noted so far.
I had the NVIDIA driver 1.0-8762 with the nvidiahack.sh installed in
10.1 and Xen would boot into X fine. However, in 10.2, it will not
compile, nor will any other version of the NVIDIA driver in either the
default or Xen kernel. I comes up that it cannot determine the version
of the kernel. Have a feeling this is due to the fact there is no longer
a smp kernel by itself, both are in the defualt kernel, or maybe it is
because of not being able to determine if 64-bit or 32-bit.
When using an external display with the same resolution, the horiz and
vertical position and size are way off. I cannot manually adjust the
external viewsonic monitor for the vertical size. When switching back to
the Latitude with Fn F8, the display is cropped on both sides. Also
noted this using a Dell docking station with a 1920X1200 Dell 24
display, but the external display in this case is also cropped on both
sides.
The D820 will not boot from the Xen LiveCD. It gets to a certain point
and fails because it cannot find /dev/cdrom. Maybe this is caused
because the CDROM is /dev/sr0 and it cannot find it.
The Suse 10.2 Beta DVD has the firmware test program option from Intel
to check if the firmware with Linux ready. The 10.2 RC1 has it also and
seems to work better, that is, more like the program if it is downloaded
from Intel. It show 7 failures, 3 warnings, and 8 passes from a total of
18. My desktop, and MSI motherboard with AMD 64x2 process shows 4
failures. It looks like Dell has a little work to do. The Intel program
can be downloaded from http://www.linuxfirmwarekit.org/download.php for
those of you intersted.
Hope this helps someone. Below is the .hvm file I use.

[opensuse] Mobile Homes
Hi, Is it possible to make with OpenSuSE what Apple calls Mobile Homes: Mobile Home Directories will allow users to centrally manage the home directories of their portable Mac clients and yet allow each user online and offline access from the office and the road. When a user goes offline, her home directory goes with her, so she can continue to work just as she would back at the office. In addition, the user's public folder remains accessible to the network while she’s away, so her co-workers can still drop files into her folder as well as see her public files. When the user reconnects her iBook or PowerBook to the network, Tiger server will automatically syncs up the home directory with the one on the server.

I am finding that what I expect to find I am not finding and what I read (eg in the Suse manual) is not as explicit as I would like so it is kinda confusing me. For example, above you state that doing uname -a will give me the current version of the kernel I am using. After a bit of puzzlement I realised (I think!) that when one boots into a 'broken' system using the installation DVD the uname -a command shows the version of the kernel used by the installation DVD to boot into the OS and *not* the actual kernel installed in the OS. That didn't occur to me but did you boot with your system's installation cd/dvd or were you using an earlier version? Booting with the 10.2 RC1 dvd on my end shows the kernel as 2.6.18.2-23-default which matches the kernel when booting directly into 10.2 RC1. For example, after booting using the 10.1 Installation DVD uname -a shows that the kernel is 2.6.16.13-4 but the kernel now actually in place is 2.6.16.21-0.25 and, of course, initrd etc also have this same (latter) number. It took a few minutes to work out why you said that not using any parameters with the mkinitrd command will create a default image which will match the current kernel - in this case being the old ...16.13-4 kernel which is not what I need. If vmlinux-2.6.16.21-0.25-default is your latest available version in your /boot dir, then use those numbers and use mkinitrd with the -k -i options mentioned previously. Looking at where the /boot/vmliuz symbolic link points to at the moment should tell you what the latest version is on your system and just match that one. As of 10.2 RC1, the latest version is 2.6.18.2-23-default and my earlier examples used the 10.2 beta2 kernel version. This of course would explain why booting from the DVD works even though there is a corruption in,say, initird because it is the kernel etc which is on the DVD which is used and until the damage is repaired the OS continues to run on the old kernel etc. At least this is what I make of it :-) . or the install disk just creates the initrd ramdisk on the fly from the existing vmlinuz image.

Re: [opensuse] Mobile Homes
Mobile Homes is SIMILAR but not the same as Windows Briefcase - there is more automation to Mobile Homes, and also more automation than rsync and KDE syncing. The issue is syncing files on BOTH ends, which people often overlook. Here's a short tutorial: http://aplawrence.com/Basics/rsync.html You'll hit problems with too many files on a Suse system. Mobile Homes actually does a set of directories, one of them public on the home server. Also, Mobile Homes automatically syncs up files when you reconnect, whereas the utilities in OpenSuse, including syncing utilities are typically manual.

For example here I deny the driver the ability to probe my monitor for valid modes using the Option ModeValidation NoEdidModes directive, this allows be to manually set my modes in the xorg.cong file Section Device BoardNameGeForce 7800 GS AGP BusID1:0:0 Driver nvidia Identifier Device[0] VendorName NVidia Option ModeValidation NoEdidModes EndSection Regards Graham -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [opensuse] can anyone help to configure a fully-qualified hostname in sendmail?
Since I don't use any mailer at home, I have removed postfix and have installed sendmail. This will allow me to see how suse uses sendmail (or modified from original), will also set it up to use my ISP smtp server as a smart host. Nobody will be able tell you what you need to do as each site is different. But at least I will have a better idea of what you need to do. Mike Sandy Drobic wrote: Mike Noble wrote: Carlos E.

I did send the OP a direct reply (forgot reply to was not set to list) telling him make changes to sendmail. Could you post those changes here, just for the record? Even if I don't use sendmail now, I like to learn. :-) One of the best places to information about sendmail is to go to: http://sendmail.org/ I was also hoping for a bit more specific advice. For Postfix the procedure would be: servername: www domain:example.com as root: postconf -e myhostname = www.example.com postfix reload If you've got some strange setup where you don't want to use the hostname as HELO, you can set the helo name of the server with: postconf -e smtp_helo_name = mail.example.com postfix reload The default of smtp_helo_name is $myhostname: # postconf -d smtp_helo_name smtp_helo_name = $myhostname So usually it's not neccessary. I tried to find the information on the sendmail.org site, but didn't find anything useful within a few minutes. Do you have a more specific link for basic Sendmail setup including hostname? To setup DNS for private address space, you can find at: http://sendmail.org/tips/private-dns/ Of course private address space was never mentioned, I'm just assuming that he does not have valid IP and that all internal IP addresses are being NAT'd to a valid IP address on the internet. Judging from the hostname www that he used he is probably trying to send mail from a webserver using the local Sendmail installation. So he probably has an official IP (and hopefully correctly set up dns and reverse dns). Sandy -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[opensuse] NIC
So, I figure you guys developing Opensuse may know what's going on. I am running an MSI computer with Microstar International motherboard, Intel 915 chipset, etc. The driver is Realtek for my wired NIC and when I installed 10.1, during the hardware scan, it found it. After install, it couldn't recognize it as wired NIC so I can't get wired internet. When I look at Hardware details, it is listed. I am using the SMP version of the kernel. Can you tell me how to get my wired NIC working? My wireless is working (ipw3945ABG) minus the fact that it has a 5 ft range. It is listed as eth1 and requires that I push a button to turn on the wireless NIC. Any ideas? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[opensuse] 10.1 Yast Online Update
I think I'm confused again g. Just upgraded from 10.0 to 10.1 and am trying to get used to some of the changes that apparently occurred. The new update process has me baffled. The zen-updater icon tells me there are no updates, but when I go to yast2's online update, a ton of patches are listed, some with checkmarks, some without. Which one should I believe?
