[opensuse-factory] Build (rpm) and older Distributions ?
Hello, can't I find the correct syntax, or is it not possible, any longer, to build a package for older distributions ? With the build from 10.3 and from Repositories (10.2) I can't build a package for SUSE 10.2.

Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers CEO, SoftDux Web: http://www.SoftDux.com Forum: http://Forum.SoftDux.com Join SA WebHostingTalk today, on http://www.WebHostingTalk.co.za Hi Rudi, After you setup your new disk (with fdisk), then use mkfs to create the new file system (ie ext3 or reiserfs or whatever), then use rsync to build the new disk. After you finished with rsync the drives are pretty much cloned - however will still not be able to boot. You must then run grub to create the new boot directives - your new drive should then be able to boot. Alternatively, if your boot/root drive partitions as the same size then just use dd to do a pure clone. For example say you have originally 80gb hdd as follows: hda1 = 24gb (root/boot) hda2 = 24gb (/home) hda3 = 30gb (/usr) hda4 = 2 gb (/swap) your new drive may be set as follows: sda1 = 24 gb (root/boot) sda2 = 150gb (/home) sda3 = 74gb (/usr) sda4 = 2gb (/swap) then simply dd /dev/hda1 to /dev/sda1, rsync /home to /dev/sda2, and /usr to sda3 plug in the new drive and it totally works.

Re: [opensuse] Playlists
Slimserver looks interesting. I've never heard of it before. The RPM packaging at the moment is horrible wrt openSUSE (works, on i386/x86_64 though, with a few tweaks detailed on their wiki) but I'm working on a better package. They have a dubious practice of bundling binaries a package marked noarch in order to transcode various file formats to what the squeezebox can decode, and that may make it difficult to include on the build service in a fully functional form, but I'm optimistic I can find a way round it. Can I conclude from this that there's no good installation source right now, and you recommend to wait until you've finished repackaging? If so, it suits me fine. I have no urgent need for a music server right now. -- Med venlig hilsen Kaare Rasmussen, Jasonic Jasonic Telefon: +45 3816 2582 Nordre Fasanvej 12 2000 Frederiksberg Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If for example you have an external usb drive and an internal ata drive then use: dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/sda bs=8257536 (this will clone an entire drive - after a lot of sampling found that bs 8 mb factor was optimal - you can also set hdparm on /dev/hda fo c1,d1 and u1) you can also back only those partitions you want - similar as above - dd if=/dev/hda1 of=/dev/sda1 bs=8257536 Rgds. Otto Rodusek. How would I clone a system, but only the files / inodes, if I want to use it on a different HDD? Let's say I have setup a 80GB HDD, with 3 partitions /, /home /opt and I want to clone it for later use, but in 2 years time I may want to use a 250GB HDD, so the partitioning could be different then. Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers CEO, SoftDux Web: http://www.SoftDux.com Forum: http://Forum.SoftDux.com Join SA WebHostingTalk today, on http://www.WebHostingTalk.co.za You can do this as a file backup with tar, for example. However, I find it simpler and much more convenient to easily snapshot the partition as a whole. If dd is not sufficient for that, partimage will be your friend. In order to restore to a larger disk, later on, qtparted will be handy (by enlarging the former smaller partition to it's then actual size). This will only be difficult in the unlikely event that you want to restore to a smallerthantoday partion, later on. As Operating Systems and Harddisks sizes tend to grow I decided not to worry about that. ;-)) regards Eberhard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Here is what I wrote at the article : 1. Used VMWare version 5.5.5. This version used same license with version 5.5.1. If you have prior version, download VMWare ver 5.5.5 from VMWare. 2. Download vmware-any-any-update114.tar.gz or another latest update to update your kernel module. 3. Install the following packages. The Software Management tool in YaST makes this easy to do. - binutils - gcc - gcc-c++ - kernel-source - make (this is probably already installed) 4. Preparing the kernel update, run the following command : # cd /usr/src/linux # make mrproper # make cloneconfig # make modules_prepare 5. Go to your vmware-any-any-update114.tar.gz download directory 6. Extract the file # tar -zxvf vmware-any-any-update114.tar.gz 7. Switch to the directory in which you extracted vmware-any-any-update # cd vmware-any-any-update114 8. Run ./runme.pl and follow the prompts. After applying the patch, the runme.pl script will call the VMware configuration script /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl. Follow these prompts as well. 9. Finally, the configuration process finished with greeting message : The configuration of VMware Workstation 5.5.5 build-56455 for Linux for this running kernel completed successfully. You can now run VMware Workstation by invoking the following command: /usr/bin/vmware. Enjoy, --the VMware team 10.

It runs 24-7 and has a 500 GB USB SATA drive to do back ups on. It uses OpenSuse 10.2. It is networked to all other computers in the house with nfs. Computer 2 is my laptop, which goes everywhere. At home it is networked to Computer 1 and 3 with nfs. At work it is networked to my work computer (also running nfs). It runs OpenSuse 10.3. Computer 3 is my wife's desktop at home. It uses OpenSuse 10.2 and is networked to computers 1 and 2. Computer 4 is my work computer, a desktop running OpenSuse 10.2 and networked to my laptop with nfs when I am there. What I'd like to do is regularly make backups of: 1. my files on my desktop to my USB drive. 2. my files on my laptop, which are a subset of the files on my desktop, to my desktop. 3. my files on my work computer to my laptop. Am I going to have file permission problems doing it this way? (My home partition has the same name on each computer). Other suggestions about how to organize this are gratefully received. Bob. rsync does all of this and much more, but imho this is a bit complicated. I would do it like this, derived from practical life: Install Unison on your laptop and on any computer that you want to sync in one or an other way, either to or from your laptop. Configure profiles in Unison on your laptop that do the different syncs to and from other computers. Rationale behind this: Your laptop is the only PC that is not permanently available on your home network, so it makes sense to control the sync actions that involve the laptop from this machine, i.e. when it is available or when someone uses it at home. You can also easily automate these sync task on your laptop via the unison text mode client that does the same like the GUI, just in the console and sriptable. The remaining task(s), as I understand, are the backup job(s) to your usb drive. For this I would use rsnapshot to facilitate an easy multi generation backup. If, some day, you decide to backup more machines or more data to your usb_disk, this also is dead easy with rsnapshot, since it works on top of rsync, just more easy and more intelligent. This is also very easy to have done automagically, via cron, for example. I hope I understood your targets correctly. kind regards Eberhard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[opensuse] Klipper and firefox annoyance workaround
Anyone using firefox under KDE will have noticed that in 10.3, klipper started popping up its action menu when a URL was highlighted in the firefox location field. This is because firefox changed its window id, used by klipper to identify which apps not to respond to. Popping up an 'open in konqueror/firefox/etc' menu when editing the URL in firefox doesn't make much sense. To fix this, 1) right click the Klipper icon in the system tray. Select Configure Klipper... 2) go to the Actions tab 3) click Advanced... 4) In the dialog that appears, enter 'gecko' (in lower case) and click Add. 5) Click Ok twice to close the configure dialogs.

Re: [opensuse] kmail signatures
Kai Ponte wrote: This is actually a very cool response. Thanks, will! I had googled this and found only belligerant and snide remarks about how bottom posting is better blah, blah, blah... Unfornately, it is the case that some huge number of corporate email systems use top posting as the default. In addition, some number of home email systems also top post by default. I even tried settting Outlook to bottom post (yes you can configure Outlook to bottom post) but got frustrated at everyone else's unwillingness to comply. As has been hinted at already, corporate email is very different than Usenet newsgroup postings and public mailing lists. The needs are different, and top posting is indeed called for most of the time in that environment. Consider that an end user and a customer service rep discuss a software usability problem and how to reproduce it. They send several emails back and forth, until the customer service rep thinks she understands the problem. Then they bring it to the attention of the business analyst responsible for that feature by including her in the Cc addresses. The business analyst can read from the bottom up to catch up on all that's gone before, but once having done that, can read just the top posts, as the end user and the customer service rep have been doing. Yep, that's the way it's designed to work. Now a developer needs to be brought in to discuss the feasibility of a code change. Rinse and repeat. With some idea how to fix the problem, and the developer's advice about how long it might take and what resources would be required, a product manager is brought in to decide what product release the fix should be scheduled for. The product manager will probably need to clear it with the quality assurance manager, depending on how risky the fix is presumed to be. As every new person is involved, that person can move down through the thread as far as necessary to get up to speed with the others. This differs a lot from our situation. We don't bring folks into the conversation one at a time as needed, but everyone is invited to every thread, should they choose to become involved. We don't need to make sure that each new participant has all the foregoing message content available, because each new participant already has it all available. Our messages can be much more concise, and flow much more logically, than those in a typical business environment. Those of us who encourage bottom posting and quote trimming _here_ don't presume to tell others how to conduct their business and personal one-to-one emails. It's up to them to decide what makes sense for them. We're only saying that _here_, in a public forum, one should abide by the rules set by the list administrators and customs that make sense in this particular context. There are many good reasons for those particular rules, most of which have been already been enumerated. Fortunately, most decent mail clients make it easy to go either way. There's even a good add-on for Outlook Express, called OEQuoteFix (Google it ... it's free) that makes bottom posting easy with that client, and adds other enhancements. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[opensuse] clipboard behavior
I am having a problem with the clipboard that is really annoying me. It is not openSUSE specific, but happens with openSUSE as well as with other Unix OSes. I am working in a MeidaWiki, making changes to a bunch of pages. The work flow is: - edit a wiki page - paste in the new text with Ctrl+V - highlight and delete some old text - save the edits - move on to the next page The changes cannot be scripted because the deleted text is not the same in every page, and the pasted text goes in different spots depending on the page. Anyway, this all works fine until I happen to click away from Firefox... for example to restore Thunderbird to check my email. No other clicking.. just restore Thunderbird and read but not edit or reply to messages (so, no copy paste actions and no text highlighting)... then I return to Firefox. When I return to Firefox, the text in the Ctrl+C clipboard buffer has been replaced by the text that was last highlighted in the workflow above. This happens on openSUSE10.2 in KDE and Gnome... as well as in Solaris with Gnome... sadly it is not consistent it doesn't happen every time I click away... maybe half the time. Has anyone else bumped into this? Any ideas or suggestions how to prevent the Ctrl+C clipboard from loosing it's copied data?

[opensuse] display hal events
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 The keyboard on my workstation has a sleep/suspend key. I'd like to remap it, but so far my attempts are failing. When I xmodmap the keycode 222 issued by that key to some other function, it still pushes through a shutdown signal to opensuse (10.2) which happily responds and shuts down my Ultra 40 without even prompting for a confirmation. It's not simply being handled by init, either (though I did try changing the 'ca' id to something else). I can tell that kde itself is responding to this signal. If I leave a kde specific app open, like kate, with an unsaved file, then I press the sleep/suspend key, kate prompts me to save the file. If I instead hit the cancel button, kde briefly pops up a small modal dialog box: KDE Systems Notification - - Logout canceled by 'kate' I tried editing some of the /etc/PolicyKit/privilege.d/hal-power-* files to alter permissions to see if I could disable the response to that key, but no luck. Is there some way I can view hal events similarly to the way xev displays X events?

Re: [opensuse] MPlayer documentation
** Reply to message from Rajko M. [EMAIL PROTECTED] on Thu, 18 Oct 2007 03:50:33 -0500 -snip- With openSUSE 10.3 you need one CD (KDE or GNOME) to install graphical base system. After that you can install more programs using YaST or zypper. The only problem is that if you add online repositories than installation program will try to use them, and that means very long download. So workaround would be to install CD without online repositories and when installation is done go to YaST and add them. They are listed in YaST Comunity Repositories. If there will be any problems just ask. Console program 'wget -c url' is solution for long downloads. It will continue download when you restart it. The simple way is to create directory for iso files, change to that directory and start wget. When you want to stop than Ctrl-c, and next time you want to continue download cd to directory where is partial download and start 'wget -c url' and it will continue. See 'man wget' for details. I've taken your advice and am now d/l CD1 of v10.3 for x86-64 from a mirror in Prague, using wget as you advised. I have got up to about 5% of the 725MB iso; with any luck, it will be all over by the time I go to bed Thursday night. To clarify: I understand that this is the only CD I need to run to upgrade the OS proper, including KDE. I will run it in the usual way, as I did for the first install of v10.2, and let it run until it asks me for CD2, at which time the exercise is complete. What will have been updated is KDE and possibly other elements of the OS itself; the kernel is unchanged however? In future, when asked for any CD beyond CD1, I am to use the disks from the v10.2 set.

[opensuse] keyboard mouse lockup
For the last three or four version of SUSE (other Linux variants too) my old machine keyboard/mouse will lockup usually with in 5-30 minutes. It it is an Intel D815EPEA2 motherboard. 512MB RAM When it locks up I can often plug in a USB mouse and have that work but without a keyboard the system is useless. I tried plugging a combo USB mouse and keyboard, but in the end I had a lockup as well. The same keyboard mouse combo works on other hardware platforms so this is unique to this hardware. I am going to try the dreaded MS next to see if that will work. Anyone have suggestions how I might further diagnose this or is it time to junk the machine?

It it is an Intel D815EPEA2 motherboard. 512MB RAM When it locks up I can often plug in a USB mouse and have that work but without a keyboard the system is useless. Fascinating. I have an Intel D865PERL in one box (running SuSE Linux 10.0) and an ASUS P5B/Deluxe in another (running openSUSE 10.3). I recently replaced (tried to replace) a pair of keyboards and mice with a single keyboard and mouse (going from PS/2 keyboards to a USB keyboard, but the mice were USB before and after) connecting the mouse and keyboard via an IOGear 4-port DVI/USB KVM switch. When I use the KVM switch I get the same symptom you report, but only on the Intel board. The ASUS never has any problems. Other fascinating details of this problem: - The mouse and keyboard don't freeze simultaneously. - If I keep moving the mouse, it won't hang / stall. (It's possible this is the case with the keyboard, too, but I haven't tried to confirm that hypothesis.) - If when the mouse and / or keyboard are frozen I switch the KVM to the ASUS box, wait a while and switch back to the Intel box, the mouse and keyboard will work again for a while on the Intel box. - If when the mouse and / or keyboard are frozen I switch the KVM _quickly_ to the ASUS box and back to the Intel box, they will _NOT_ unlock. - There does not appear to be a fixed amount of time before the mouse and / or keyboard freeze. Sometimes it's a matter of 30 seconds, other times I can work OK for a few mintues, but never more than that. I've tried every variation of the BIOS USB legacy on/off full- / hi-speed, etc. settings on the Intel box to no avail. This is a most vexatious problem for me, 'cause with multiple keyboards on my desk, I frequently type on the wrong one and am often leaning over one to type on the other. I fear one day I'll type something on the wrong keyboard (the one _not_ connected to the display) and something bad will ensue. Lastly, this same setup (mouse and keyboard connected via KVM) also gave the ASUS box problems when it was running openSUSE 10.2, but in that case the problem was that when the KVM was switched away from that box, the kernel would periodically (and frequently) emit a huge bolus of USB-related diagnostic messages into /var/log/messages. This might have gone unnoticed, except for the fact that almost everything on the system paused while the messages were being emitted (possibly 'cause they were also going to virtual console 10). I tried plugging a combo USB mouse and keyboard, but in the end I had a lockup as well. The same keyboard mouse combo works on other hardware platforms so this is unique to this hardware. I am going to try the dreaded MS next to see if that will work. Anyone have suggestions how I might further diagnose this or is it time to junk the machine? I got nothing, but I'd dearly love to resolve this problem! Bob Randall Schulz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Do a 'df -i' to check.
That doesn't apply to reiserfs, it does to ext3 and ufs for example
but you can set the reserved percentage to 0 (with tune2fs on ext3).
And about the inodes, the total quantity is not defined at the fs

Any filesystem (ext3, xfs, reiserfs, etc) which doesn't have this capability cannot be a general purpose Unix or Linux filesystem because it cannot be used on whatever filesystem(s) (i.e partition) hold, for example, /tmp, /var/log, /var/tmp, and wherever root's home directory happens to be. Also, what are you trying to do? Make a small (asy 4k) file, or something bigger? How about inodes? Are you out of those? Do a 'df -i' to check. That doesn't apply to reiserfs, it does to ext3 and ufs for example but you can set the reserved percentage to 0 (with tune2fs on ext3). And about the inodes, the total quantity is not defined at the fs creation time. Ok, I just subscribed to this list, so this is the first message I have in my inbox on this topic. I've read the rest on the archive. I do regularly read opensuse-kernel, though. First to start with the questions from the bottom up: ReiserFS doesn't reserve space for anything other than the journal. ReiserFS doesn't have inodes. It has items that are referenced by keys. The only thing there is a shortage of is objectids, which are regular 32-bit integers. Unless you've managed to create ~ 4 billion files, you're not running out of them. This bug is likely caused by a patch I put into 10.3 that started using the first_zero_hint value that is calculated in the bitmap code. The calculations have been there for ages, but they haven't been used until the 10.3 kernel. It short circuits the bitmap scanning code to skip ranges it knows are already used. After the 10.3 release, I decided this was a dubious optimization and was likely responsible for problems just like this one (bug 331814). I pushed a patch to mainline that rips the first_zero_hint code out entirely. To test this hypothesis, please download and test a kernel from: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/jeffm/suse/testpkgs/331814 I'm very much interested in feedback to ensure that this solves the problem.

[opensuse] F12 - Kerry Beagle Serach — How To Reassign Shortcut?
Hi, I've long used F12 for my own purposes and now (on openSUSE 10.3) find that it activates the Kerry Beagle Search (what does Kerry refer to?). When I look in the KDE Shortcuts, I cannot see a mapping for F12 or for Beagle. Where is keyboard shortcut configured?

You got the answer you deserved, then. First learn how to post questions, then you can complain that you get incorrect answers. QUOTING FROM THE ORIGINAL POST: Hi all Can anyone tell me how I can get a signature to appear correctly when replying to someone? Mine always appears at the bottom of the email rather than after my reply but above the original email. regards Ian The above looks like a pretty simple straightforward question and Carlos, I don't see how you could have misunderstood it. He asked a simple task question and got lambasted for mailing list issues. If a question like above is so offensive, then we're all offending you with our own questions. Just so the rest of us understand what was wrong here, Carlos, can you please dissect the above question and explain why it was so horribly wrong and offensive to you? For example: Should any thread about KMail or Evolution always include the disclaimer Note: This is not about mail listing. ? If so, then the rest of us will duly include such disclaimers about any email program question to appease you. One thing that doesn't make sense to me about why you jumped to the assumption that this was a mailing list question is that Ian stated when replying to someone. A mailing list is not someone and thus that is what made it clear for me and for the others who posted appropriate responses to Ian. To the rest of us, someone indicates an individual. Thanks in advance for any clarification you can offer us so we can further improve our postings for you. -- ---Bryen--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [opensuse] How can I make a ghost image for SUSE Linux

I'v used Clonezilla with XP, but it works with Linux filesystems equaly well of course. Also the partition copy and paste function in Gparted does what you'd expect without problems. That will make me more easier to install the OS .. And a lot faster in case of a disaster.

[opensuse] Is beagle supposed to find emails?
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi, Beagle is running almost continuously (beagle-0.2.17-6.1 in suse 10.2), indexing and using most of my cpu. Currently, beagle-status says: Scheduler: Count: 70780 Status: Executing task Idle 0 (10/24/2007 11:06:54 PM) RemoveOldThunderbirdMails So, I try to find some thing. I bring up the search dialog, and tell it to find suse. Surely, I have thousands and thousands of emails from this lists, so beagle it's sure to find some? Well, it finds exactly 5 emails, and is utterly unable to display any of them. Like this: Subject: Re: [opensuse] 10.3 and evolution From: Teruel de Campo MD Date Received: October 4 Folder: lists.sbd/os-en If I click on it, it opens thunderbird, which displays nothing... which is not surprising, as thunderbird is not my main mail client, and the indexes in lists.sbd are obsolete. So... how do I tell beagle to forget thunderbird and search for mails where they really are? More. I tell it to search for linux. It appears to find: Two applications: remote controls and irkick. Four documents: procmail.log, inbox.msf, trash.msf, nstmp..msf Five email conversations (the same as for suse, it seems. two websites, both local: suse help and susehelp. So, the real question should be: Is beagle any good? If it is unable to find any thing useful, I might as well remove it, and reclaim the 678978722 bytes of its indexes (for just one user!) - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFHH9FntTMYHG2NR9URAs94AJ93Bw1Tykz8z/0g/Jn4vrk3qPzIqwCcCdvM OUsjjzKSFtIM3T3l14GAQBA= =mZ0o -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
