Re: [opensuse-factory] 10.3 RC1 doesn't see SATA drive in mixed IDE/SATA environment
Bob Williams [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I have two hard drives, one IDE and one SATA. My 10.2 installation has /, /boot, /usr mounted on the SATA drive, while /home is a LVM2 volume spanning both hard drives. When I tried installing 10.3 RC1, it only detected the IDE drive. In the Partitioner module, choosing expert - import settings from previous fstab failed to find an existing fstab. The boot up process appears to load both IDE and SATA drivers, so I presume there is a problem with the SATA (sata_sis) driver. Is this likely to be fixed by 10.3 GM or will I have to stay with 10.2?

[opensuse-factory] Unable to update from 10.2 to 10.3 RC1 on IBM R40
Hi! Trying to update from a openSUSE 10.2 to 10.3 RC1 on an IBM R40 fails. When initializing the Setup system it shows the following dialog: The partitioning on disk /dev/sda is not readable by the partitioning tool parted, which is used to change the partition table. You can use the partitions on disk /dev/sda as they are. you can format them and assign mount points to them, but you cannot add, edit, resize or remove partitions from that disk with this tool. When I afterwards select the update option and continue it shows all three partitions on this disk, but seems not recognize the openSUSE 10.2 on /dev/sda1 and therefore will not let me update. Looking at the boot log a lot of attempt to access beyond end of device can be seem, which make me guess this is another variant of BUG #327612. However the solution there won't work for me as I don't have a running 10.3, yet. I attached the contents of /var/log.

[opensuse-factory] [Announcement] Repository Issues When Upgrading Any 10.3 to 10.3 RC2 (and newer)
Hi, During the upgrade (when using CD/DVD media), the current system repositories are read from the system. These repositories are offered to be either enabled or disabled during the installation/upgrade. If you enable a repository, it is added during the installation in an enabled state and you can use it during the upgrade, otherwise it is added in a disabled state. This all is correct and helps you to upgrade all packages at once. The problematic part is, that if you have a newer libzypp package (that uses /etc/zypp/repos.d/ to store libzypp configuration), you'll have these sources twice after the upgrade. * The old sources will remain as they were before upgrade. * Installation/Upgrade will add them enabled/disabled as selected during the upgrade process. Solution: Do not remove these sources before installation/upgrade because upgrade wouldn't have anything to offer you during the upgrade process. You might disable these sources and you will find them disabled after the upgrade as well. Additionally newly added sources will be enabled or disabled as you will choose during the upgrade. Upgrade from 10.2 to 10.3 is OK Upgrade from 10.3 to 10.3 BetaX adds only those sources that were enabled. Upgrade from 10.3 to 10.3 RC2/... adds both enabled and disabled sources.

The best I could do vis-a-vis a new kdar rpm would be to run checkinstall on the source, as I don't know anything about rpms, really. If a 'checkinstall'ed rpm is good enough for you, I can send it along. Alternatively, I can: 1] Send you my kdar source folder 2] Send you my changed source files and you can integrate the changes into any src rpm that might be around That being said, I'm still waiting on a couple of changes I had to make to get kdar to compile with libdar.

My fix (see my bug!) was to boot the installer with 'brokenmodules=pata_via'. It might be a different module causing your problem - take a look at the logs as the installer loads, it will attempt to detect the platform and decide which modules it wants e.g. for HD controllers. The first one list for me was pata_via so my first stab was to disable that and all was fine. Thanks for the tip. Looks like the problem was with the module ata_piix, however, seeing that this problem occurs in multiple modules there seems to be more behind it than just a problem about the modules.

I don't believe this is possible with zypper at this time. It is not a limitation of libzypp - you can select the specific version in yast2 sw_single (see the versions tab). Its supposed to be possible in 10.3 zypper, for zypper=0.8.4, as mentioned in bug 247320 The new syntax is (from current zypper man page): install (in) [options] capability ... Install or update resolvables. Capability is: NAME, or NAME[OPEDITION], where OP is = = =and EDITION is VERSION[-RELEASE], for example: zyp- per=0.8.8-2. Names are not only package names but any symbols provided by packages: /bin/vi, libcurl.so.3, perl(Time::ParseDate). Just remember to quote to protect the special characters from the shell, for example: zypper0.8.10 or 'zypper0.8.10' If EDITION is not specified, the newest available version will be installed. This also means that if the package is already installed and newer versions are available, it will get upgraded to the newest one. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[opensuse-factory] Dirty filesystem after Yast update of RC1 and halt + reboot.
Hi, I told Yast to update all updatables. It downloaded over a gigabit, it took the whole afternoon. It is a nuisance when it screeches over a network failure and doesn't retry till I come by the computer and tell it to retry. In the end, I told it to reboot, or perhaps halt; in any case, it halted. I booted again, and I saw the system running a long filesystem check because the root partition had not been cleanly umounted. I thought this was a known bug with the RC1 DVD, but not with the installed system. -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.

[opensuse] Fujitsu Siemens Primergy Econel 100 with Sata Raid 1
Hi, I'm at installing opensuse 10.2 on a Fujitsu Siemens Primergy Econel 100 Server with Raid 1. I have 2 Sata Hdds installed and want these to be in a Raid 1 array. So I first configured the raid in the LSI bios, then as this page http://en.opensuse.org/How_to_install_SUSE_Linux_on_software_RAID told me for fakeraid (it is fakeraid, isnt it?!) If you want to install the kind of RAID that is supported by some motherboards (so called fakeRAID), just enable RAID in your BIOS and install as usual. NOTE: FakeRAID is only supported by openSUSE 10.2 or later. Earlier versions of SUSE DO NOT support fakeRAID I started the installation as normal though both drives, sda and sdb, showed up. So I partitioned sda and installed on it, the system booted and it works so far, except the raid. I do not find much useful documentation on the net for 10.2 and such a raid, nor on those server cds. What can you recommend? thanks i advance vb -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I can't easily (that I can see) select the kaffeine version from packman to install with Software Management. If both repos are enabled, whatever is installed shows up in both Available and Installed columns (in this case the OSS version). I can't replace it with the packman version.

[opensuse] Opensuse software updates and repositories?
Hi all, I would like to clear my understanding up on the opensuse software management side. After the distro is first installed, and provided no online updates have been done during the install, there will normally be a requirement to obtain the latest software versions of the installed packages. To do so opensuse makes use of software repositories which are similar to Windows Update sources, although far more error resistant. These software repositories are accessible by the YAST software tool and need to be defined in the installation sources under YAST. As an example let us assume I have just installed an opensuse system with OpenOffice.org,Thunderbird and Firefox. Other applications have been installed but I will let the normal system updates take care of those. I add a general installation source http://opensuse.oorg/pub/opensuse/update/10.2 to take care of the general system health, security updates. I would however like to stay on the bleeding edge of the opensuse stable/tested software for Mozilla Thunderbird/Firefox and OO.org. I see that there is a mirror called http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/package name/STABLE/10.2/ where package name could be the name of the application ie Firefox, OpenOffice or Thunderbird. Do I add the http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/package name/STABLE/10.2/ repository and will having it ensure that the latest opensuse stable releases will prompt me to update via opensuseupdater or will the initial update source I added cater for all package updates? If I load a package that is not normally included in the DVD, but is in RPM format and has an update section on one of te mirrors, do I go and search for that update repository? Confused about the myriad of installation sources/mirrors and package rpm sources.

Re: [opensuse] Novell/SUSE at OOoCon 2007
On 9/22/07, Clayton [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: This isn't 100% about openSUSE... but thoguht it was interesting enough to share with the group here. I just spent a very busy and interesting weel in Barcelona at OOoCon 2007. Novell/SUSE was quite visible... and the only Linux vendor in sight. Maybe that is due to the massive amount of work that Novell contributes to the OOo project. There were loads on openSUSE10.2 DVDs floating around, and I know of a few people who are now very interested in openSUSE as a result of tinkering with the DVD that was handed out. Something I observed... A few of the presenters (outside of the Novell guys) were running some variation of SUSE. All the SUSE guys had (generally) no problems at all when they connected their laptops to the projectors. It just worked. The guys who were running Ubuntu had resolution issues... switching to the projector was... very problematic for them. It was nice to see SUSE just working.. and a few people noticed and started asking a lot of questions (to me anyway) Hubert Fuguiere's presentation on OfficeOpenXML and Novell's work on it with OOo was quite interesting as was Noel Power's presentation on VBA and OOo. The video of the presentations aren't all up just yet, but once the KiberPiper guys get home and process the hours of video they made it will be here: http://ooocon-kiberpipa.kiberpipa.org/media/index-2007.html Probably the most fascinating (and also the hardest to understand) was the stuff from Red Office 2000 (the Chinese presenters). If you get a chance, take a look at what they did to make the Chinese version of OOo. They totally reworked the UI, and the first question that was asked was... Is there an English version? I wonder of some of the concepts they came up with could be applied to Linux in general? Anyway... it was an amazing conference... and it was nice to see openSUSE so visible. Great to hear!

I assume that loss of support means that SuSE will not put more updates on servers but does this also mean that existing patches will not be available either? If for some reason I am still using 10.2 two years from now and I needed to reinstall for some reason, would I find any updates at all? With 9.3 they removed all that was under the supplementay folder in the old FTP hierarchy, and all that had been moved over to software.opensuse.org (i.e. new KDE, GNOME etc. packages). They kept the patches that had been provided against the original version. f.e. ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.3 is still there.

Ron,
I don't know if my original post got through, if so I apologize, but in
addition to the above make sure you see man lppasswd and make sure the
windows user and password have an entry in lppasswd because windows
tries to auth by sending the windows login and password.
Really? Can't i just open it up for the whole network with no authentication?
Does every Windows user need to be added?
I tried:
lppasswd -a 'Ron Eggler' and got this:
server:~ # lppasswd -a 'Ron Eggler'
Enter password: {no password so i hit [enter]}
Enter password again: {[enter] again}
lppasswd: Sorry, password rejected.
Your password must be at least 6 characters long, cannot contain
your username, and must contain at least one letter and number.
server:~ #
So does it require a Windows password? Hmm weird, there must be a possibility
to just open it up somehow i think, no?

Except for older versions of Windows, you shouldn't have to download anything. Just configure to use http or ipp printing. Well it does want a driver, and that is reasonable. I for my part prefer the CUPS Postscript one available somewhere at the cups site; a package that does both b/w and color is at [2] [2] http://jengelh.hopto.org/f/cups6c.zip I have never had to download a driver, postscript or other, to talk to CUPS. I simply configure CUPS for the printer and then point the Windows computer at the CUPS server. However, you may need a printer driver for Windows, if the printer is not already supported. But then you'd need that, even if directly connected to the printer. Exactly, but that still doesn't resolve the issue of my No access problem.

Ron,
I don't know if my original post got through, if so I apologize, but in
addition to the above make sure you see man lppasswd and make sure the
windows user and password have an entry in lppasswd because windows
tries to auth by sending the windows login and password.
Really? Can't i just open it up for the whole network with no authentication?
Does every Windows user need to be added?
I tried:
lppasswd -a 'Ron Eggler' and got this:
server:~ # lppasswd -a 'Ron Eggler'
Enter password: {no password so i hit [enter]}
Enter password again: {[enter] again}
lppasswd: Sorry, password rejected.
Your password must be at least 6 characters long, cannot contain
your username, and must contain at least one letter and number.
server:~ #
So does it require a Windows password? Hmm weird, there must be a possibility
to just open it up somehow i think, no?
Ron
There is and that is/should be the default! See /etc/cups/cups.conf:

If you use SMB printing from Windows, you can use samba's authentication controls (i.e. authenticated or guest mode) and all is well. I use IPP, how do i use Publish Printer? - I don't see a link that's called like that. Publish Printer is a button in the CUPS web interface. Well it does want a driver, and that is reasonable. I for my part prefer the CUPS Postscript one available somewhere at the cups site; a package that does both b/w and color is at [2] [2] http://jengelh.hopto.org/f/cups6c.zip Huh, don't i need to use the vendor's driver anyways? (If not included in Windows) Two or more ways: - rasterization(Windows) - relay(CUPS) - printed page - postscriptize(Windows) - rasterize(CUPS) - printed page (- postscriptize(Windows) - relay(CUPS) - rasterization(printer) - printed page) The 3rd one does not always work, due to crappy printers that just lock up because they feel like they do not have enough memory. Well well, hold it. Sometimes there is a reason you want Windows to send Postscript instead of raster or printer-specific command (aka raw).. which is what most printer drivers actually do. For example, if you want job logging[1] or let CUPS do the rasterization, or... [1] gv /var/spool/cups/d01234-001 yup, that's all and you know what your users printed. :) Would the result on paper be the same? Generally yes. I don't know if my original post got through, if so I apologize, but in addition to the above make sure you see man lppasswd and make sure the windows user and password have an entry in lppasswd because windows tries to auth by sending the windows login and password. Really? Can't i just open it up for the whole network with no authentication? By default, CUPS lets everyone print from localhost. If you use Publish Printer you can print from everywhere. Does every Windows user need to be added? If you run with smb printing instead of ipp, it will do the right thing, since you can force smb that authentication is a must. As far as the linux world is considered, you always need to login to the system anyway before sending a print job, so no problem here. I tried: lppasswd -a 'Ron Eggler' and got this: lppasswd is not required in 10.2, it will use PAM. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[opensuse] pre-install considerations for xen
There's a couple reasons for running xen, but the major one for me is to be able to run XP without having to reboot into it. From reading some docs though, it seems that I'd need a different CPU from what I have (an Intel Pentium M processor, basically a Pentium 6 with mobility technology). So does this suck? Or is it okay? Secondly (if I get past the first hurdle, above), as is typical, XP was installed when I bought the machine and I got no install CD. Do I need an install CD/DVD for XP to make it a domU? The docs say that ACPI doesn't yet work on xen (meaning my battery's going to drain faster), but that this should be fixed in future. Has this future come yet? (Yeah, docs can go out-of-date.) I'm due for an upgrade, would like to upgrade into xen, but I'm pessimistic it'll work. Does anyone have any firsthand experience with any of this or otherwise have authoritative info?
