[opensuse-factory] openSUSE 10.3 alpha 3 and NVIDIA driver
Hi to all, I just wanded to ask if somebody was able to install the Nvidia driver 9755 on alpha 3. If I try, the wrong directory tree is chosen by the installer, that means that all files get copied into /usr/X11R6/lib64 and so on, instead of /usr/lib64 . I manually copy all files to the - what I think - right directories, but then I get a white screen of death with compiz. So it seems I'm doing something wrong. Feedback would be appreciated, have a nice time, tM - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[opensuse] Firefox Fonts on 10.3 Alpha3
Hi I updated Alpha1 to Alpha3, fonts in firefox now look really terrible (skinny and zigzags). I have recompiled freetype2 with all the disputed features turned on.

Hey Clark, It would help us all if you could supply the bugzilla URL Depending on which department is attending to the bug is import for us to know as each of the 3 major companies Novell, KDE, Gnome work at vary different rates and I have a good deal of experience on how log and more about the nature of the bug and a possible quick fix fr you. As you know there really arnt a lot of different menu's in Gnome - They have a few very very large file and depending on what part of the menu you want to view dictates what part of the menu and which one is selected. If this issue is really one of speed mixed with only slight application failure - I would not hold my breath for a fix. Can you please elaborate on The Computer menu on the control panel takes a LONG time to display upon boot and many times just seems to stop working.

For a MS LAN - There is NO justification for allowing ANY port above 1024 to be open. I know what Microsoft attitude to Port security is and it basically follows allow everything so we don't have to explain opening specific ports for games, voip, irc etc. In a totally MS environment where all you want from your PC is business like applications to use there is NO reason on earth to permit anything above 1024. I have been running a test LAN, small group with such access limits. There is nothing on the internet I cannot do with Ports above 1024 closed. If your need IRC, Messenger services like yahoo in MS do not open ports 1024-65563. There is no requirement in a MS for them to be open. Trust me..It my job occupation.

There are a lot of reasons you do not want to mount root as RO. Depending on your configuration, the directories, /var and /tmp must be read-write. /var contains subdirectories for logging, spooling, and other purposes. The /dev directory also needs to be available because there are some dynamic devices, such as USB, CD. Normally, root is read-only in single-user mode (run level s or 1).

Re: [opensuse] Call for Testing: openSUSE 10.2 Bootloader Test
Bob, Most likely you are using it for hotsyn to the PALM so I also added few tricks not related specifically to your question but that are important to hot sync with VMware. If you use the new kernel you will still need those tips to hotsync of course you will not need to enable usbfs. Using USB devices with VMWare under linux has been a pain due to the fact that VMware relies on the USB filesystem at /proc/bus/usb. SuSE 10.2 unselected the support of usbfs from the kernel so mounting by itself does not work any more. The support of usbfs is still in the kernel but you have to enable it :-( 1. Need to enable usbfs support in the kernel** Which has been disable because of security concerns. 1.1. basic requirements: kernel-source ncurses-devel (nedeed for make menuconfig) so just #yast -i ncurses-devel etc 1.2 Kernel and kernel-source should be the save version: rpm -qa | grep kernel 1.3 Change the kernel configuration #cd /usr/src/linux #make menuconfig In make menuconfig for kernel configuration GOTO: - Device Drivers//USB support/USB device filesystem and selected it! Esc/esc until ask you to save the config. Say yes. #make modules make modules_install reboot Bob this part can be done in many different way. You can clone the configuration file, change it and use one of the new vanilla kernels etc. Menuconfig is the one I use but other options are also available. This is simple and I tried in three machines and all are working very well. Do not do other changes in the kernel, make it simple. 2. Change /etc/fstab: By Default, VMWare will NOT allow the user to attach to USB devices connected to the physical workstation when the host OS is SuSE Linux 2.1 To allow access to USB devices attached to the workstation through VMWare, you need to modify the /etc/fstab file as root. /etc/fstab Locate this line: usbfs/proc/bus/usbusbfs noauto 0 0 and change it to: usbfs/proc/bus/usbusbfs autofs 0 0 2.2 After the machine has been rebooted, the USB Device attached, and VMWare started, select VM | Removable Devices | USB Device, and select the device that needs to be attached to the VMWare session. 2.3 When the usb device is the Palm like in my case Treo 700p sometimes you have another device loaded rmvisor just remove it #rmmod visor OR Mount the usb before starting VMware (instead of 2.1) # mount -t usbfs /dev/bus/usb /proc/bus/usb Continue as 2.2 and 2.3 3. Be sure the vmimage is in focus 4. Hotsync 5. May have to start with the phone out of the craddle If if does not work try to repeat the mount and rmmod command and try again.!!

Re: [opensuse] THANKS! Evolution pword patch!
Sorry guys, quote from Suse.DE after asking QA Mgt to advise if Evolution bugs had correct disposal as I had entered a few bugs and after 2 months no reply (Paraphrase) Sorry I don't get down here to much with bugs that are not critical or above I was basically told Evolution bugs don't get much of a first glance and hence stay at New for very long periods of time. Then 10.2 was released with huge upgrade issues wit the whole distro and admittedly I only look after 11PC's but the whole upgrade disaster was very concerning. I have another 8 months to decide if we purchase SLES/D based upon performance and productivity. Then suse.de released its RC with a alpha test3 blocker still unresolved - the password issue. Operationally our group may process over 11,000 messages between us. I only found out the issue after all the upgrade bugs got sorted out so you can image my distress and the by all. Also each person has up to 7 different email addresses pop3 to process. Basically if 10.4 has anything like the upgrade bugs in it or a blocker in it - I'm out of here completely and there will be no evaluation of SLES/D. Of everyone who replied they were happy to keep evolution could you please tell me if you are operating in a commercial work place? Basically I regarded the upgrade bugs I had to deal with as if the RC was Alpha in 10.2 and if they cannot get online update happening a bit better in 10.3 I will have to re-assess how much money I authorise for new hardware and other commercial software and spend it. Personally I want to keep Linux, however I don't have the luxury of personal preference to stand on P.S Good morning to all its 07:40 here (GMT+10) and its sweet to do a bit of work from home.

I think it helps when you configure kgpg, huh? I guess my old age is showing. I thought that since I had done the server upload thing in Tbird and saw the key in Kmail all was well.

I tried to put a bunch of 2-channel IDE controllers in a SUSE box a couple years ago. I found that you run out of supported channels before you run out of drive letters. When I tried to actually do some performance testing (dd bs=4k if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hdX to lots of drives) I found the performance dropped off rapidly with lots of simultaneous disk activity. I chalked it up to running out of PCI-bus bandwidth, but I don't really know.

It is the stated goal of the libata (SATA/PATA/ATAPI) developers to extract themselves back out of the SCSI subsystem. The trouble is it may be a year or two or more before they actually do it. They have at least once mentioned changing to /dev/diskX at some point. FIrewire and USB OTOH actually use the SCSI protocol natively. They just use a different media (ie. different cable, etc.) to carry the protocol, so they will likely always be part of SCSI.
