Re: [opensuse-factory] Known problem with zypper still?
Dňa Po 30. Júl 2007 10:33 Sid Boyce napísal: Opened a bug some time ago. If the bug is open, I don't think behavior has changed. What is the bug number? Selecting some packages from Factory will cause zypper to not return, stays permanently working on and window goes grey. You must be talking about yast2, zypper does not have any window ;-) Kill -9 the pids of yast2 sw_single, removing /var/run/zypp.pid and at times needing to bomb out the window is the only way to return it to sanity, then YaST -- Installation Source can be restarted. Kill -9 sounds very strange indeed. It's not capable of resolving certain dependencies. Can you still reproduce the problem? That could be a problem with Factory at that time.

[opensuse] Problems with sound, USB in general, USB drives etc.
Couldn't think of a better subject line. I've been having some odd problems that I can't seem to fix. I recently upgraded to the latest kernel (32bit) from the repositories (I had been running the stock 10.2 32 bit kernel). The update itself went ok, but on restart the problems started. First, I had no sound. To restart sound, the only solution that works repeatedly is to start YAST, delete the sound card (Sound Blaster Live5.1) and add it back in again. But... when I delete the sound card, the desktop crashes. This happens every single time with no errors logged (that I can see) in messages or the xorg logs. To restart the desktop, the easy solution is to log out and back in again... and then all seems OK. Then... this weekend, I plugged in my USB drive. It was mounted properly, and I started deleting (a lot of) files... 2 Java programming projects.. exports of a svn and a cvs repository. This went OK for a few seconds, and then an error popped up saying that it was unable to delete a file (changes each time I try this). I cannot delete files or write to the USB disk after this happens. If I remount the drive (safely remove, unplug and plug it back in) I can continue... for a few files, and then it errors out again. I tried this as root from terminal, and again, it works for a few files, and then all of a sudden the drive becomes a Read Only Filesystem, and I cannot delete files again until I remount the drive. Sometimes I can delete a lot of files before this happens, sometimes none. Remount.. try again. The exact same thing happens when I try to copy files to the drive.. the first one or two files are copied successfully, and then the drive changes to ReadOnly (which of course generates errors by the copy process that it cannot write to a RO device), and has to be remounted to get RW back. I tried reformatting the USB drive, but all it would do (after unmounting and attempting to repartition or reformat) is error out with a system error. This happens both on the terminal/console, and with the YAST partitioner. I rebooted back to the old kernel to see if things were messed up there. There I had sound, but no USB at all (and nothing I did would convince it to work even though all USB hubs were shown in the hardware list, and lsmod showed the USB module loaded)... boot back to the new kernel... no sound until I reinstall the sound card in YAST, and then of course.. log out and back in to fix the crashed desktop... but at least USB devices (mouse/keyboard) work with this kernel. So... that's the long story... now the questions (I've asked some of them here before but not got any answers).. these are the two I'd really like to solve.. or at least understand: - Why does deleting the sound card crash the desktop? This happens each and every time I delete the sound card with YAST. This has happened to me before on previous SUSE versions, and no one either believes me :-) or has ever seen this behavior and has no suggestions. But I'm hoping maybe... just maybe I can get to the bottom of this. - Why is my USB drive being mounted as RW, but at some point during accessing it does it magically convert to RO? This happens when attempting to delete files and when trying to copy files to the drive. (yes I checked, there is loads of room on the drive.. it's a 40GB drive (FAT32) partition with only about 5GB of data).

[opensuse] Networking problems
SUSE 10.1, 10.2, fresh install, on Compaq EVO 600 (laptop). In my network, I have a DHCP server that supplies all non-server systems (Windows XP, Linux) with IP information: IP address, DNS servers, default gateway, Internet domain etc). The client will supply the nodename. No problem for the XP machines, but SUSE seems to have a problem. NOTHING is returned as it seems, the IP address of the NIC is an address as if it was a non-connected Windows machine, NO DNS servers, NO default gateway and No domain information - these are all zeroed/blanked. NO error message. It's NOT the network itself, because if the NIC is confugured by hand (static data) everthing works as intended, but I consider thsi inappropiate. I looked in the mailing list and documentation but could not find an anser on the issue. How do I force this machine to act (in this matter) as a Windows box?

I've tried as a data dvd burning the cue and bin directly but it won't play in my domestic player. I've tried bchunk but get two iso files both les than 8Mb so something is wrong there too. In my experience, there area lot of it depends on in this kind of thing. It depends on what is actually in the image file (eg is it in DVD format video, VCD format video, avi, mpeg etc.)... it depends on if your DVD player can handle whatever is in the bin file...VCD, avi, mpeg etc or only DVD formatted disks.. and so on. My suggestion... look into the bin file and see what exactly is in there. There are some useful gui apps that can do this with iso, cue/bin and other formats via the context menu in you WM of choice (in the SUSE repositories)... or you can manually convert from cue/bin to iso and mount at command line (mount -o loop -t iso9660 needs an iso9660 formatted iso to work... and cue/bin (in my experience) needs to be converted to an iso before you can manually mount it). Once you know what you are dealing with, you can decide what needs to be done next... whether you need to convert the video to another format that your player understands... whether you can copy out the video and burn it direct as data... whether you can burn the converted iso direct to disk... and so on. Of course someone else here might have a better suggestion, but this method has always worked for me in the past. Now I have my TV connected to the PC and bypass the standalone DVD player altogether. Saves a lot of hassle :-) C. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[opensuse] Scanner operation broken in opensuse 10.2
A few months ago, I used my HP Scanjet 5300C on Suse 10.2 with no problems. Now, it is a hit or miss process, mostly miss. I go to Yast, Hardware, Scanner, the scanner was listed using the avision driver. I do a test, the test passes. Go to OpenOffice Draw, Insert picture, from scanner,then select scanner. No scanner shows up. Go to Kooka, it also does not find the scanner. Try Xsane, takes about 10 minutes to get open, but also cannot find the scanner. Kooka did work one time after going to yast and running a test on the scanner, but then no more. Nothing shows up in the system log other than where yast installed it when I edited the scanner setup with no changes. Apparently, one of the upgrades changed something the scanning system does not like. Does anyone have any suggestions on this? I checked the bugzilla report (https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=141079) mentioned in a previous thread, but that does not seem to be quite the same.

The combination .cue/.bin doesn't ring a bell, but for starters you could look at http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=117709 to get a flavor of the problems that are awaiting you. I don't know about vlc (I thought that was a windows player) but if the .bin file plays in mplayer you surely can turn it into something that your dvd player will play.

[opensuse] Request for creating ntfs-config package.
Hello. I don´t know who and how creates packages for http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/filesystems/ repo. And i don´t have any experience with creating of packages, so i´d like to ask for favour, whether someone would be able to created a package ntfs-config (from http://flomertens.free.fr/ntfs-config/).Of course, if it is possible. I think it is very good tool for ntfs-3g driver. Thanks. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thank you, John Mok Firstly if you had a SLES license you'd use SLES10 as it's a free upgrade. OpenSUSE is a community Linux if that's what you mean by 'desktop Linux distro' but it has all the same functionality as the Enterprise version (closer in concept to Fedora than CentOS, but miles better IMO). OpenSUSE comes without warranty or support (other than installation support if you bought the boxed version), is more bleeding edge than SLES thus less tried tested, patches are only released for 18 months after the launch date before you're expected to upgrade (not ideal if you have many machines running it) SLES it's 7 years. I've always been happy with stability, I've been using it constantly for 8 years, still think it's by far the best distro. If you're rolling out Linux across many servers or workstations you'd have to determine whether or not you'd want support, gurantees, management tools etc, if I was building something in a production environment then I would always go for an enterprise class OS however for my own desktop or less critical systems then OpenSUSE is perfect.

[opensuse] Formatting error (-1012) when installing Opensuse 10.2
Hi all, I'm trying to install Opesuse 10.2 on a Dell D620 with an 80GB SATA drive (with 2GB RAM). The installation fails at the point where Yast tries to format the disk space allocated to it. The following error is reported: Failure occurred during the following action: Setting type of partition /dev/sda6 to 83 System error code was: -1012 My progress has been as follows: Attempt 1: Standard network install using mini ISO. I accepted the default partitioning scheme. Yast happily created a 2GB swap partition, a 10GB home partition and a 7.7 GB root partition. Having accepted this scheme, it fails with the above error. Attempt 2: Just in case there's something fishy about having a 2GB swap partition, I planned to resize this to 1GB. On retrying, Yast couldn't understand the partition table and refused to make any changes. Luckily windows could still boot and put things back to the original state. Attempt 3: Go into expert mode and manually create a 1GB swap partition and a 19GB root partition (no separate home partition this time). Same failure occurs Attempt 4: Use windows to create the required partitions (1GB and 19GB) and tell Yast to use these partition rather than create it's own. Same failure occurs. A bit of Googl'ing suggests that error 1012 means that the partition table cannot be written to (but I could be wrong). Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to troubleshoot or work around this? I can't find any mention of it on the Suse support db or mailing lists that sound relevant.

[opensuse] Firefox and Java
Earlier today I got a security update for java 1.4.2 (I think it was) and elected to install it. After installation, it happened that I got bit by the Openoffice.org writer freezes your system bug (which has an open bugzilla bug open) and I ended up having to reset my machine for the first time in months. After the reboot, I noticed that none of the web sites that use java scripts worked within Firefox 2.0 that had been working previous to the reset. At the top was a message to install a missing plugin - yeah, right. I've been here before. I went into Konqueror and guess what, the pages were all working properly which means that *something* has again diddled with the pointers to the java plugins that Firefox uses.For the life of me, I can't find out WHERE the link is stored and what it is supposed to be pointing to (now) in order to restore the function that has been working fine for many months. I even downloaded the Java 1.6 update rpm and installed it but they only tell how to install it for mozilla, not firefox. Any help would be appreciated.

In a number of environments we've removed RBLs as a front line sanity check because, like SPF, they sometimes block important and legitimate messages. In other words, we're decided to use SPF and RBLs as factors in spamassassin scoring, rather than a binary decision at the perimeter. The other sanity checks are already enough to block more than half the attempted messages from even getting to the spamassassin servers.

In other words, we're decided to use SPF and RBLs as factors in spamassassin scoring, rather than a binary decision at the perimeter.

Re: [opensuse] Network Manager (SSID problem)
Deliberate mixing of ad-hoc and infrastructure based networking on the same SSID is probably not good practice. People configuring machines as ad-hoc with the same SSID and passphrase is something the network managers can do little about, and I would regard this as a potential security weakness in some contexts (might also have a negative effect on overall network performance). That's what I thought. It's a security issue as well. I think main problem is that joe/jill user just thinks that putting together a network or connecting to a network is like plugging in telephones to sockets in a walls. Unfortunately, however much you dress it up behind nice fancy GUIs it aint. Even more problematic are non-technical managers in organisations who think the same way. Yes, well you are right but what to do if you need to use this network? It's a library and they set it up with keys, I think, for convenience of their users. If they wouldn't hide SSID the problem wouldn't occur. They take it for an security advantage, I guess. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [opensuse] Mount /opt on separate RAID
2007/7/30, Chris Arnold [EMAIL PROTECTED]: OK, i have partitioned the array and have formatted the physical drive. I used these commands: fdsik /dev/sdb -n -p -w Then to formatt i used: mkfs.reiserfs -f /dev/sdb Now to copy over the existing /opt folders and files, i am trying to use: cp /opt/* /dev/sdb/opt and get not a directory. What is the correct way to copy over the existing /opt folder and files as to not break anything? Symbolic links and what not, i do not want to break anything. It doesn't work that way, you must mount the filesystem. Try this procedure: - mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt - tar cf - /opt | tar xvf - -C /mnt Once you check everything was copied as it should (you better do a backup also): - umount /mnt - rm -rf /opt/* - add /dev/sdb1/opt reiserfsacl,user_xattr 1 2 to /etc/fstab - mount -a PS: Did the mkfs.reiserfs command succeed?, i think you should have given /dev/sdb1 as the parameter (not just sdb) Ciro -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[opensuse-packaging] modprobe --skip-unsupported not needed anymore
[sorry for the cross-post, but this could be of interest for both packagers as well as factory users/testers] Hi, in case you see warnings like this: WARNING: the --skip-unsupported option is no longer available then either fix your package to no longer care about unsupported modules (remove the --skip-unsupported option) or make a bugreport if it's not in your package. Ex: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=293758 Background: the handling of unsupported modules was changed in 10.3, it's now globally configured in /etc/modprobe.d/unsupported.blacklist, it's no longer the responsibility of the callers of modprobe. For compatibility with not yet updated scripts, the option is still recongnized, but it prints the above warning. For details, see http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-commit/2007-07/msg00513.html have a nice day, Michal - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[opensuse-packaging] [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Re: [Research] No more /sbin/getcfg]
Hi all,
1) /sbin/getcfg* has gone! (Alpha 7)
2) /sbin/hwup has changed, no more sysconfig/hardware/hwcfg-*
1) /sbin/getcfg* has gone! (Alpha 7)
I scanned all packages and here the files that still contains a
reference to getcfg* (mostly getcfg-interface):
/etc/init.d/dhcrelay
/etc/init.d/dhcpd
/etc/init.d/ntop
/etc/preload.d/later
/etc/xen/scripts/xen-network-common.sh
/lib/mkinitrd/scripts/setup-network.sh
/sbin/SuSEfirewall2
/usr/lib/openwbem/c++providers/libomc_ip_interface_profile.so.1.0.0
/usr/share/doc/packages/ifplugd/ifplugd.init
/usr/share/doc/packages/powersave/contrib/acpi_hotkeys_Samsung_P35
/usr/share/doc/packages/yast2/network/autodocs/NetworkDevices.html
These are mostly occurences of getcfg-interface, which was used to
translate hardware descriptions into interface names. You may just
drop that:
H=get_interface_hardware_descriptor
I=getcfg-interface H
use I
has to replaced by
I=get_interface_hardware_descriptor
use I
All configuration files that contain hardware descriptions have to be
converted. For this purpose there is
/etc/sysconfig/network/scripts/hwdesc2iface
For a sysconfig style config file you may call
hwdesc2iface file variable_start
It converts all variables that start with variable_start. If a
variable contains multiple values all will be converted.
Example11: ifcfg-bond0
...
BONDING_SLAVE_1=eth-id-...
BONDING_SLAVE_2=pci-bus-...
...
Just call
hwdesc2iface ifcfg-bond0 BONDING_SLAVE
This will convert both variables to
BONDING_SLAVE_1=ethX
BONDING_SLAVE_2=ethY
Example2: ifcfg-br0
...
BRIDGE_PORTS=eth-id-... bus-pci-...
...
Just call:
hwdesc2iface ifcfg-br0 BRIDGE_PORTS
Result
BRIDGE_PORTS=ethX ethY
For other syntax of configuration files you may call hwdesc2iface to
convert the values:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ hwdesc2iface id 11:de:ad:be:ef:99
eth99
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ hwdesc2iface bus pci :02:02.0
ath0
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~
2) /sbin/hwup has changed, no more sysconfig/hardware/hwcfg-*
^
There is still a small /sbin/hwup, but it does not longer
- (un)load modules
- read config files
- execute s390 specials
But it still does
- initialize devices the same way as at boot time. Give the sysfs
devpath as argument
hwup /sys/devices/pci\:00/...
- take down a device (hwdown) also with interface names as argument
try 'hwdown eth0': it unbinds the device from the driver and so the
interface will be unregistered.
- hwup accepts interface names as argument, if the device was taken
down with hwup before. In the example above 'hwup eth0' brings your
interface back.
- accepts the old hwup hardware descriptions.
It is a trivial script that uses /sys/bus/*/drivers/*/{un,}bind,
/sys/bus/*/devices/*/uevent and /sys/bus/*/drivers_probe. Have a look
at it if you want to learn what sysfs can do for you. Forget 'rmmod'
and 'modprobe -r', just unbind the device.
