[opensuse-factory] RUG more 'solid'

2007-01-12 Thread Dominique Leuenberger
Hi,

I'm trying to bring my 10.2 Installation up to Factory again to follow
the development and start yelling when something goes wrong :-)

so far, I did not see new errors (but was also not able to upgrade
yet). The only thing I still see with zmd/rug is:
When there are to many packages coming in (at the moment I should
update ~ 1050 packages), I can almost be certain that the upgrade
fails.

To high the chances that the download of any single package gets a
failure and kills the whole task, usually even killing zmd. Most likely
that's an issue you can not see within the Novell Network, when getting
the packages from a local server with high bandwidth. Unfortunately, I'm
only connected with 2.5Mbps, and thus it appears a bit more likely.

Is there something that could be done against this? I mean: I have
nothing against a failure... but at least zmd should stay active and
allow me to relkaunch a rug up (and no: as long as zypper gives me this
subjective feeling of being slow, I prefer having zmd/rug running, with
a sleep timer set to 60 minutes, and I don't want to hassle around with
smart for the moment).

Looking forward for some comments,
Dominique

I think this is worth a bug report. Does it really kill ZMD or ZMD just stops 
to respond?

Stano,

The zmd process is still there, but seems to be irresponsive. a rug ping says 
it's dead. I did not check this time what rczmd status gives me. I'll recreate 
the failure this evening and post a bug report afterwards.

 Stano,

 The zmd process is still there, but seems to be irresponsive. 

Then it's probably related to other lockups we see in ZMD. They are 
time-depenent (i.e. hard to debug). But anyway, it's a bug and rather severe 
one.

 a rug ping 
 says it's dead. I did not check this time what rczmd status gives me. I'll
 recreate the failure this evening and post a bug report afterwards.

Make sure you attach /var/log/zmd-*

[opensuse-factory] ZMD Database

2007-01-12 Thread Dominique Leuenberger
Hi,

I'm just in process of a bit analyzing the Zen Process... 

Some comments / questions on the database:
- The Table catalogs contains a field 'checksum', which parse-repodata
is comparing on. But on my respective DB, this field is empty, with
exception to @system
As far as I understood parse-repodata, it would skip the whole parser
in case the checksum were identical. (probably imrpoving the 'wakeup
speed'?) could we store a checksum found in repomd.xml in here?

On wakeup, the repo is downloaded and compared.. so by downloading
repomd.xml (which is always very small) and comparing the hash to i.e.
the has stored for primary.xml[.gz] found in repomd.xml, could improve a
bit here.

Comments?

Am I completely off or could this be a direction? I would also be
willing to help coding on this product. With whom should I get in touch
for this? (I don't just want to implement a patch on 'good luck'. It
should be discussed first)

Dominique

If your problem is like this, you can always add another user for testing
purposes and see, whether this test-user can use k3b without being root.

[opensuse] Motorola V3 Razr +Bluetooth

2007-01-12 Thread Art Fore
Have not been able to get the V3 Razr to work with my Dell Latitude D820
running Suse 10.2. Here is the scenario

Linux is running kblutoothd and the bluZ has been enabled in Yast with
default settings.

My D820 can see a colleague's computer (Win XP) on bluetooth and is
shows up with bluetooth:/ in konqueror.

I can connect and download the V3 on the colleague's computer after
doing the paring.

My D820 does not see the V3 even in discovery mode. When you put the V3
in discovery, it is supposed to be 6i0 secconds, but only last 5 or 10
seconds as if it has been discovered, still nothing shows up in
kbluetooth.

I try the handsfree, look for devices on the V3, it finds nothing during
its scan on my computer, on the other computer it says it found one
device.

So, both computers are working and the v3 works with only one computer
(BRW, both are Dell Latitude, one a D820, the other D620).

Searched the web and documentation, but did not find too much on the
kbluetooth as far as operating it. Does anyone have any suggestions?

In my experience the shutdown from the various GUI choices are problematic,
intermittant and not reliable.   Using as root from a terminal session:
shutdown -y -g0 -i0 always works for me.


Since when does SUSE accept the Solaris command options?

According to the man page (and the usage message) SUSE still uses 
the traditional

shutdown -h now
style to call. (Which is actually better, IMHO; if I want to switch 
to another init level, I can use telinit and maybe shutdown -k before.)

  Or, is it more ZMD fun again?  I uninstalled ZMD and components a few
  weeks ago and opted for the generic suse-updater and associate/YaST
  components and all seemed better - but it appears to be back to being
  unreadable/unreachable and otherwise not there!
 
  Any help appreciated, Curtis.

 I just upadted 10.1 with zen, so zen may not be the problem

 there are often sync problems with the mirrors, visibly a
 recurrent problem :-(


I suspected it was a sync issue.  But the recurrance of this is often very 
frustrating - since version previous to the 10.x series and the intro of 
Novell ZMD processes sync issue and not being able to read the repositories 
was a rare issue.   I know the devs are working on this and can only imagine 
the angst this creates for them.  All the same I wish it would get fixed.  I 
wonder if this is an issue with the SLES server series?  I hope not since 
this is what many of those running enterprise stack uses - and that's not a 
good thing for all involved IMHO.

Cheers, Curtis.

will _not_ work as of 2.6.18, because

  (a) windows98 does not do CIFS

 vpnc is supposed to be used to connect to a Cisco vpn concentrator.

And that part works for me.

In a way this is a regression - vpnc almost worked in 10.1 and 
SLED10. It used to connect, but connections weren't that stable.
In 10.2 it doesn't even connect. Cisco client next to it works 
ok ( given that you first manually port it to recent kernels :/ ).

cupsenable queue-name

If this doesn't help try to remove the print queue and re-add
it with YaST.

If this also doesn't help try to remove the print queue with YaST
and re-add it with hp-setup.


By the way:
Since CUPS 1.2 there is the so called error policy to define
what the cupsd should do for a particular queue if its associated

see the CUPS documentation

[opensuse] Measuring/analyzing network traffic

2007-01-12 Thread ken

Looking for an application (or two or three) to monitor network traffic.
 I'd prefer an app which collects specified data (e.g., source and
destination ports and IP addresses, total/running kbps) into a text file
which can then, later, be read into a graphic app for displaying
selected/configured charts and graphs and text totals.  Open source, of
course.

Wouldn't mind hearing about handy features not mentioned above and
opinions about how sensible, friendly and cogent the setup and usage is.

The definition of server: A box, that SERVES/OFFERS any service. And thus, as 
soon as you have an accessible share on a Win98 Box, it acts as a typical 
server inside a network.

Long ago are the times where a server was pure server and a client a pure 
client.

Most liekly you have the standard mplayer installation from openSUSE
directly? Then yes, it is an issue.
- Get either mpleyer from Packman or VLC from the VLC Repo. Both
support a file conversion.

 Have not been able to get the V3 Razr to work with my Dell Latitude D820

 Linux is running kblutoothd and the bluZ has been enabled in Yast with

 My D820 can see a colleague's computer (Win XP) on bluetooth and is
 shows up with bluetooth:/ in konqueror.
 
 I can connect and download the V3 on the colleague's computer after
 doing the paring.
 
 My D820 does not see the V3 even in discovery mode. When you put the V3
 in discovery, it is supposed to be 6i0 secconds, but only last 5 or 10
 seconds as if it has been discovered, still nothing shows up in
 kbluetooth.
 
 I try the handsfree, look for devices on the V3, it finds nothing during
 its scan on my computer, on the other computer it says it found one
 device.
 
 So, both computers are working and the v3 works with only one computer
 (BRW, both are Dell Latitude, one a D820, the other D620).
 
 Searched the web and documentation, but did not find too much on the
 kbluetooth as far as operating it. Does anyone have any suggestions?

 According to the man page (and the usage message) SUSE still uses

Why not just use init 0 to shutdown (init 6 to reboot)? Seems much
easier to me.

telinit is just a link to init.

 You can change the services file just like in unix, have a look here:

 The article is based on Exchange 5.5 (I wonder when they'll start calling it

Thanks for that info James, but I was wanting Exchange to listen to 25

On the OO2.1 topic; I see the non anti-aliased font rendering is still
broken (renders Tahoma almost unreadable).

Is this a OO or OpenSuse problem?
Just tried using Tahoma in a test document and found no problems with 
this font.


Do you have GeeckoConfigure DesktopAppearanceFontsUse 
Anti-aliasingConfigureUse Sub-pixel hinting set to Medium?


Cheers.

I have all that setup - my desktop and ALL other apps display fine
(Tahoma 8pt anti-aliasing off - till up to 12pt)
Just OO displays horribly with anti-aliasing turned off in its
configuration.
Certainly turning off anti-aliasing in OO has some effect (you can see 
it immediately in the toolbar) but the Tahoma font is still very much 
readable and not as you describe (above).


Cheers.


Ok unreadable is prop bit harsh - but as you say turning off
anti-aliasing in OO and using Tahoma for the menus (like I do for all my
other apps) just looks horrible.
I see there are others with the same issue:
http://en.opensuse.org/Talk:Optimal_Use_of_MS_TrueType_Core_Fonts_for_a_KDE_Desktop_on_SuSE
check the last post message.



I have to ask this question otherwise I won't be able to sleep..

*Why* do you find it necessary to turn off anti-aliasing in OO and then 
worry about the Tahoma - and not any other font - not displaying well?


If it hurts why do it?, as the Actress said to the Bishop.

Why not leave the anti-aliasing on, by default, in OO and have a 
relaxing day?


There has to be reason for all this worrying about Tahoma and OO and 
anti-aliasing but I don't know what it is so please enlighten me :-) .


Cheers.

[opensuse] KMail Crashes with SIGSEGV

2007-01-12 Thread Andreas Winkelmann
Hi.

A few weeks before, I've installed Opensuse 10.2. It was a new Install, no 
upgrade. All Updates are installed. I use KMail to read Mails via IMAP. 
Sometimes KMail crashes with a SIGSEGV. The error occures when I change to a 
Folder with new Mails (CTRL + +). This happens not every time and on 
diffrent Folders of course.

This is reported from the Crash-Handler:

Ive upgraded from 10.1 to 10.2 and all of a sudden I have compiz

I did play with it way back and had beryl installed on 10.1, maybe it
saw the files and did the upgrade for me, who knows. 

How do I remove it!?
Removing compiz and xgl just leaves me with a very slow X/KDE and using
the gnome-xgl-setting tool does nothing.

This depends on your usage.

I have 2 GB main memory, and several VMwares instances at the same 
time. But mostly only one of them is active. (The one that I use for

more convenient than VMware suspend, if one uses a different VMware

Using only 1GB swap spaces would be counterproductive since they

Removing compiz and xgl just leaves me with a very slow X/KDE and using
the gnome-xgl-setting tool does nothing.


I did a fresh install of 10.2 and it did install compiz, but it
doesn't try to run it for me at all.  I also use kde and it doesn't
interfere at all.  Perhaps you have something in a stored session?

Regardless, can't it just be removed by uninstalling the rpm?

  On the OO2.1 topic; I see the non anti-aliased font rendering is still
  broken (renders Tahoma almost unreadable).
 
  Is this a OO or OpenSuse problem?
  Just tried using Tahoma in a test document and found no problems with 
  this font.
 
  Do you have GeeckoConfigure DesktopAppearanceFontsUse 
  Anti-aliasingConfigureUse Sub-pixel hinting set to Medium?
 
  Cheers.
  I have all that setup - my desktop and ALL other apps display fine
  (Tahoma 8pt anti-aliasing off - till up to 12pt)
  Just OO displays horribly with anti-aliasing turned off in its
  configuration.
  Certainly turning off anti-aliasing in OO has some effect (you can see 
  it immediately in the toolbar) but the Tahoma font is still very much 
  readable and not as you describe (above).
 
  Cheers.
  
  Ok unreadable is prop bit harsh - but as you say turning off
  anti-aliasing in OO and using Tahoma for the menus (like I do for all my
  other apps) just looks horrible.
  I see there are others with the same issue:
  http://en.opensuse.org/Talk:Optimal_Use_of_MS_TrueType_Core_Fonts_for_a_KDE_Desktop_on_SuSE
  check the last post message.
 
 
 I have to ask this question otherwise I won't be able to sleep..
 
 *Why* do you find it necessary to turn off anti-aliasing in OO and then 
 worry about the Tahoma - and not any other font - not displaying well?
 
 If it hurts why do it?, as the Actress said to the Bishop.
 
 Why not leave the anti-aliasing on, by default, in OO and have a 
 relaxing day?
 
 There has to be reason for all this worrying about Tahoma and OO and 
 anti-aliasing but I don't know what it is so please enlighten me :-) .
 
 Cheers.


My whole system uses Tahoma for menus, dialogs, text boxes etc. It
renders beautifully crisp on my 1920x1400 Dell laptop screen. (One thing
MS got right)
Anti-aliasing is only useful if the font is huge or you use a CRT
(IMHO).

And... it was working in 10.0.

Im trying to find a solution here! not be stuck with something I cant
change or dont like (for that I'll revert back to Win)

 The problem started after I turned off ACPI in the BIOS, though I

 In my experience the shutdown from the various GUI choices are
 problematic,
 intermittant and not reliable.   Using as root from a terminal session:
 shutdown -y -g0 -i0 always works for me.

 Since when does SUSE accept the Solaris command options?

 According to the man page (and the usage message) SUSE still uses the
 traditional
 shutdown -h now
 style to call. (Which is actually better, IMHO; if I want to switch to
 another init level, I can use telinit and maybe shutdown -k before.)

 Cheers,
 Joachim

What I was hoping for was a more direct response to why these icons for
shutdown are
intermittant.

The shutdown command as I typed it predated Solaris and came from ATT
as early as System 3,

Shutdown is better to use than init because it had more flexability and
isn't as
abrupt as init.   I guess init 0 is ok if your the only (ab)user of the
system.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, how about a little support from  you guys
for the
concept of getting the GUI based shutdown to work reliably?

   KDE-Linux list with no response from KDE-Linux, and it doesn't appear

   thought I'd check here if anyone has experienced this problem.  I've
   installed SuSE 10.2 on a new HP Pavilion with AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual. I
   had to use boot option ACPI=off in order to install.  Otherwise, the
   boot hangs at Starting udev After installation of 10.2, I still
   have to use ACPI=off (does not power off at shutdown either, but that's
   another problem).
  
   Now for the problem.  External USB drive is not recogized when plugged
   into USB 2.0 port. External drive has its own power supply.  Also, USB
   memory stick is not recognized when plugged into USB port. I know the
   ports work, since I have Windows XP installed as dual boot, and Windows
   XP has no problem recongizing the devices.
  
   There is no /proc/bus/usb defined.
  
   lsusb shows no devices.  lsmod shows usbcore installed along with
   ohci_hcd and ehci_hcd.
  
   I have attached my startup log which shows some errors with ohci_hcd
   and ehci_hcd drivers.  I'm convinced these errors are at the cord of
   the problem.  And from what I've, perhaps it is related to the fact
   that I can't boot with ACPI - I'm not an expert in kernel stuff and
   drivers, though.
   Specifically, these lines appears in the log:
  
   6usbcore: registered new driver usbfs
   6usbcore: registered new driver hub
   
   7PCI: Setting latency timer of device :00:10.1 to 64

   BIOS/PCI :00:0b.1 setup!
   3ehci_hcd :00:0b.1: init :00:0b.1
   fail, -19
  
   There aren't any BIOS settings that will affect IRQs.  It's an ASUS
   A8N-BR motherboard with Phoenix Bios from Sept 2006 (i.e. it's
   current). There is a USB Legacy Bios setting which is set to AUTO. 
   I've tried that with DISABLE and ENABLE with no effect.
  
   I've tried several other boot options in different combinations with no
   effect: acpi_user_timer_override  nomsi pci=routeirq acpi=oldboot
   noapic When I use noapic, boot messages suggest using pci=biosirq. 
   However when I tried using pci=biosirq, I get biosirq unknown kernel
   option or something like that.
  
   Any suggestions and/or comments appreciated.
  
   Regards,
   Richard
 
  Let me say that I'm a total newbie  (too ? :).   had the same problem
  with my hp pavilion.  Tried a lot concerning the USB.  Finally ran an
  update installation on the full installation  with all my USB gear
  connected (memcard, printer, USB 2.0 card, ext. harddisk Maxtor,
  bluetooth usb) , and suse 10.2 found everything concerning the USB's.
   maybe worth a try  ?

 Tried update installation with same results - i.e. USB devices not
 recognized. The external USB device was connected during the update
 install, but not recognized.  Same ochi_hcd/ehci_hcd driver errors as
 before.
Installation of latest x86_84 kernel fixed the problem.  The new kernel 
allowed me to remove acpi=off from the boot parameters, thus allowing acpi 
support and PCI routing to take place.  It also resolved the incomplete 
shutdown problem.  Obtained kernel from:
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/kernel/kotd/x86_64/HEAD/kernel-default.x86_64.rpm
 
which as of yesterday is a 2.6.20_rc4... kernel.

So I went from 2.6.18 to 2.6.20 kernel.

  some of these cards are recognised because I believe it is listed in the

At least in KDE, the GUI shutdown won't shut down the system if there are

a window asking if you're sure you want to quit (eg. konversation) KDE won't 
exit, and the box won't shut down. Sometimes the programs refusing to exit 
may be in the background so it's not immediately obvious what's happening, so 
it can appear haphazard, but nearly always, the problem is with some other

Just give it a try. 
As it is rpm, you will hardly do any harm, especially if you uninstall
tuxkart before trying to install supertuxkart. In case that all else fails
you can always reinstall tuxkart.

My children and me found it very worthwhile!

Lucky you.


 In a way this is a regression - vpnc almost worked in 10.1 and
 SLED10. It used to connect, but connections weren't that stable.
 In 10.2 it doesn't even connect. Cisco client next to it works
 ok ( given that you first manually port it to recent kernels :/ ).

 Not that I can see.

I was talking about commercial cisco client, not vpnc. You
have a version of it that supports 2.4.16+ kernel?

I just unpacked the cisco vpn client sources on my new 10.2 system, ran
the vpn_install script, and it all worked. No fancy GUI, but it connects
and seems solid. Haven't had any luck whatsoever with any of the GUI vpn
clients.

Well, I'd like to help you out but I can't get Gwenview past the point of 
wanting a writable path for my files...  Even though I specified one in the 
settings.

I've never used gwenview but use convert from Imagmagik instead.   I use a D70 
and have never seen the problem you claim.

Try:   convert   -geometry  640x480  -quality 75   input.jpg   output.jpg

and see how that works.

My mistake.  He did a lot of his stuff on the PDP-10, including dumpster 
diving for source code (I guess it's OK for him to steal other's work, 
but not for others to steal his.).

He did have a Unix product called Xenix.

Either way, he had some exposure to Unix.

Sandy!

   I am now trying to incorporate spamassassin into my anti-spam 
arsenal. I am finding a dearth of information. 
usr/share/doc/packages/spamassassin is not much help. I have spamd up 
and running. I am confused by the reference to creating a .procmailrc in 
my home directory mentioned on the apache.spamassassin.org site and need 
a little help. Do you, or anyone for that matter, have a good link or 
some quick advise on getting this set up?


   I'll keep looking, but if you have a cheat-sheet, I'd be grateful for 
the help.


Hello David,

I was away from the keyboard for a few days. (^-^)

The easiest way to use spamassassin is through amavisd-new, which can be 
set up in yast. It should work, though I always set it up manually.
Amavisd-new is a frameworks that calls spamassassin and virus scanners if 
you would like to use them (I definitely recommend to use a virus scanner 
if you use postfix as a frontend for windows clients).


You don't need procmail to integrate amavisd-new. If you install 
amavisd-new from yast, set it to start as a service at boot time, and tell 
postfix to use amavisd-new as a content filter, you should be able to 
enjoy spamassassin fairly soon.


Though there are some settings you should adjust to your installation and 
needs:


  - how many simultaneous content_filters are allowed (system resources)
  - should viruses/spam be deleted/tagged/quarantined
  - What to do about logging

Sandy
