Re: [opensuse] Re: [os] New Printer Info

2007-10-25 Thread Johannes Meixner

Hello,

On Oct 24 15:10 Martin Nopola wrote (shortened):
 I went with the HP vote a month ago and bought an 
 HPLaserjet1018 from Tigerdirect for $130 without checking 
 the driver situation. 
 Much to my surprise the HP website said they don't support 
 Linux.

Why much to your surprise when you didn't check the driver
situation for such a cheap (laser)-printer?

Do you really think you can get more back than you give away?
Sometimes you may have luck  but in general of course not.
The manufacturer, the vendor and all who are involved before
you get it (or after you got it via expensive supplies),
know how to cut away their portion (and companies who don't
know die out).

But much to your surprise even this cheap piece of crap
is meanwhile supported by HPLIP version 2.7.10, see
http://hplip.sourceforge.net/supported_devices/laser.html

There is a new LJZjsMono device class for ZJStream printers.
ZJStream printers require JBIG which has patent issues, see
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=263181
Therefore the support for ZJStream printers can be provided
only via a binary-only plugin which is downloaded by hp-setup
from the HP web-site only after the user has accepted the
license terms.

This patent/license stuff was the reason why the HPLIP people
at HP needed so much longer to get even such crap to work
with a driver and operating system where the basic idea behind
is freedom (like in free speech).

I don't have a ZJStream printer to test it on my own
so that I don't know if it really works.

If you have at least Suse Linux 10.1:

I provide for testing HPLIP 2.7.10 for the released
openSUSE 10.3, openSUSE 10.2, Suse Linux 10.1,
Suse Linux Enterprise 10 (SLE 10), and for the
openSUSE development version openSUSE factory
for 32-bit Intel compatible (i586) and 64-bit AMD (x86_64)
via the openSUSE build service at
http://software.opensuse.org/download/home:/jsmeix/

The packages are
* only for testing
* without any guarantee or warranty
* without any support 
As an extreme example, this means that if your complete computer
center crashes because of these packages, it is only your problem.

Nevertheless, I am very interested in your feedback because the more
people test it, the more problems (even hidden problems) are revealed.
If you find a problem and you think it is not a general HPLIP issue
but a Novell/Suse-specific issue, please follow the instructions in
http://en.opensuse.org/Submitting_Bug_Reports and
http://en.opensuse.org/Bug_Reporting_FAQ
how to send me feedback or bug reports via the openSUSE Bugzilla.
Choose the component Printing (also for scanning/faxing with HPLIP).
Make it obvious which package, which package version, which hardware
architecture and which openSUSE version you are talking about, e.g.:
 Feedback regarding hplip-2.7.10-19.1.i586.rpm
  and hplip-hpijs-2.7.10-19.1.i586.rpm from
  http://software.opensuse.org/download/home:/jsmeix/ 
  for openSUSE 10.3 used on 64-bit AMD hardware.
Ideally provide also the rpm -q --changelog hplip | head output
to make it unambiguous which exact package release you have.
The openSUSE Bugzilla is a bug tracking system but no support forum.
This means that my packages are in any case without any support.


Some special notes reagarding my packages:

We (i.e. Novell/Suse) provide /etc/udev/rules.d/55-hpmud.rules
with a changed file owner setting than in HP's original.
We changed the owner from lp to root to avoid that the
permissions can be changed by any CUPS filter or backend
because both run usually as user lp.

For more details regarding my current packages, see
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_name=Pine.LNX.4.64.0707040850200.22081%40nelson.suse.de

The Bug is that the install left different versions of the libraries in
different places. Specifically, the file:

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 391344 2007-09-21 20:34 libGL.so.1.2*

was left in /usr/lib and was conflicting with the new library in

02:43 Rankin-P35a~/linux/usr/lib l /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 2007-10-25 01:20 /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so
- libGL.so.1*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 2007-10-25 01:20 /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1
- libGL.so.1.2*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 679655 2007-10-25 01:18 /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2*

The solution was to move the old libGL.so.1.2 and replace it with a
link to /usr/X11r6/libGL.so.1.2

Now fgl_glxgears and fglrxinfo will work as they should. However  after
gnome-xgl-switch --enable-xgl and reboot, compiz is non-operational on
the laptop. The desktop appears, the mouse will move, but that is it,
the rest is DOA. ctrl+alt+backspace kills X but results in the frozen
black sax screen from hell.

I don't get it. 3D is blazing after correcting the library conflict,
but still no compiz. It took less than 5 minutes on my box with the
nvidia card, but still no joy here.

Xgl is not required as shown in the the post above, we are configuring
AIGLX. If you don't do anything extra and blindly follow each step
there you should get a working Compiz with 8.42.

You have leftover libGL everywhere because you need clean install of
openSUSE or cleanly uninstalled earlier fglrx drivers:

rpm -e x11-video-fglrxG01-8.40.4-1
ati-fglrxG01-kmp-default-8.40.4_2.6.22.9_0.4-1.i586 way or sh

Maybe he thought that all HP printers were supported. I wasn't aware that 
some are and some are not, too. It's a lesson for us all: check before we

Re: [opensuse] MPlayer documentation

2007-10-25 Thread Rajko M.
On Wednesday 24 October 2007 01:32:21 pm Stan Goodman wrote:
 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. 

It will not ask you for the CD2 as there is no such thing in openSUSE 10.3. 
There is either KDE single CD or GNOME single CD, and DVD with both. 
The software that is not on CD or DVD is available online on FTP or HTTP 
servers. 

Be aware that if installer of openSUSE 10.3 find working Internet connection 
it will attempt to download much more than it is present on CD. With slow 
Internet it can be very long download that can't be interrupted or 
installation will fail. I have no exact number but it can be between 2 and 3 
GB. To avoid that:
1- turn Internet off before installation,
2- save your data from openSUSE 10.2 (make backup)
3- install openSUSE 10.3 (select New Installation)
* be aware that if you don't install on a new partition (some 10 GB, but more 
is better) it will format you existing partition and all data that are not 
saved will be lost 
* installation runs in 2 phase with reboot after first phase to start new 
installed kernel. It is done when you see the message telling you that 
installation is complete and your newly installed system will be started 
(this time it will happen without reboot as new kernel is already running). 
4- start YaST and configure network and Internet
5- run YOU (YaST Online Update) as there are already some patches for 10.3

After all above is done you will have running openSUSE 10.3 and you can add 
applications from Internet repositories with smaller downloads, while you are 
using computer. 

The other option, loading all patches for 10.2 would also ask for huge 
download and as result you will have older version of openSUSE that is 
missing a lot of new features. 

 What will have been updated is KDE and 
 possibly other elements of the OS itself; the kernel is unchanged however?

Lets call small change update, and big change upgrade. 

Installation of 10.3 will be upgrade. 
Everything, including kernel, will be new. 

There is small problem with naming upgrade vs. update. 
In openSUSE everything is called update, big or small change, but there are 
different levels:
- If you go from openSUSE 10.2 to 10.3 it will be called System Update and, as 
it is mentioned, is a large change
- In case that you update KDE for 10.3 to newer version of KDE (still compiled 
for 10.3) it will be considered as (normal) update.  

 In future, when asked for any CD beyond CD1, I am to use the disks from the
 v10.2 set.

The openSUSE 10.2 CD set will be useless. 

When I used example with windows I tried to tell you that:
- openSUSE 10.2 is one operating system, and 
- openSUSE 10.3 is another. 

Only one number difference in the name means a lot of changes. Programs 
designed for 10.2 generally don't work under 10.3. There are some exceptions, 
but elaborate answer is far beyond email article (and my knowledge). 

For instance YaST and zypper are much faster and have new features missing in 
10.2. Many people upgraded from 10.2 to 10.3 for this single reason, and 
there is many more. 

 Is all that correct?

As you can see it isn't, but installing openSUSE 10.3 will give you brand new 
software.

[opensuse] ddd for opensuse10.2

2007-10-25 Thread Patrik Hasibuan
Dear my friends...

I need debugging tool for debug my perl script. I use perldebug. but some 
features of ddd are more interesting for me.

I use OpenSuSE10.2, I installed v.3.3 from its DVD. but this version does not 
understand perl. The error message was: /home/patrikh/sementara/parserku.pl: 
not in executable format: File format not recognized.

I download from http://www.gnu.org/software/ddd/ version 3.3.11 .

But I can't install it, the error message is:

  Please use the configure options '--with-motif-includes=DIR'
  and '--with-motif-libraries=DIR' to specify the Xm location.
  See the files 'config.log' and 'ddd/config.log'
  for further diagnostics.

I downloaded from: http://www.lesstif.org/download.html .

Hello,

On Oct 25 11:40 Carlos E. R. wrote (shortened):
 It's a lesson for us all: check before we buy, don't assume
 it will work in linux just because some other hardware from
 the same brand works.
 
 And even when we check we are bitten: I got a haupauge 1300 tvcard
 and it doesn't fully work, for instance.

There are shops/dealers who take it back if it doesn't work
for Linux (and give it away for those other operating systems
for which the manufacturer provides his non-free drivers ;-)
Of course via such dealers it is usually a bit more expensive
than in an arbitrary shop.

By the way:
Sometimes it happens that the manufacturer changes the internal
stuff of a piece of hardware (chips, firmware, ...) a bit so that
the new series is not fully backward compatible, see for example
the entry regarding the Artec Ultima 2000 scanners at
http://www.sane-project.org/sane-mfgs.html
---
Ultima 2000 USB 0x05d8/0x4002: Good.
Works, only product id 0x4002 is supported

Ultima 2000 USB 0x05d8/0x4001: Unsupported.
Same name, but different ids: This scanner is not supported.
The scanner with product id 0x4002 is supported by the gt68xx
backend, however. 
---
In the above example the manufacturer changed the USB ID
but I think there are also even worse examples where the
hardware changed in a non-compatible way under the same IDs.
It is practically impossible for a normal user to be safe
against such pitfalls which are set up by the manufacturers.

[opensuse] opensuse 10.3 updates breaking login to kde

2007-10-25 Thread Barrie Hill
Hi,

Over the last couple of days I have applied the opensuse 10.3 updates as
notified by zypper. Three of theses updates have broken my login to KDE.
I was still able to login via a console screen.

These are the updates that caused the first problem. After the updates
were applied, when I tried to log into KDE, the screen went black and
then returned to the login screen.

libopenssl-devel 4476-0
libopenssl-devel 4560-0

The .xsession-errors file indicated an openssl version problem.
Unfortunately I don't have a copy of that file now.

The fix to this problem was to reinstall the original openssl packages
from the opensuse 10.3 dvd from the console using the following command.

rpm --oldpackage -Uvh openssl-0.9.8e-45.i586.rpm
libopenssl0_9_8-0.9.8e-45.i586.rpm openssl-certs-0.9.8e-45.i586.rpm
libopenssl-devel-0.9.8e-45.i586.rpm


The second problem occurred  when  I installed  the following 
x11-server  update. I was unable to move my mouse pointer or enter text
into the password field. I could still login via the text console.

This was the offending patch

xorg-x11-server  4595-0

The fix to this problem was to reinstall the original x11-server package
from the opensuse 10.3 dvd from the console using the following command.

rpm --oldpackage -Uvh xorg-x11-server-7.2-143.i586.rpm

I have been googling the problem but can't find any mention of this problem

I'm not sure if I have a problem with my install or if this is a known
issue. Is this the right place to be posting this issue?

Thanks.

[opensuse] 10.3 not booting, 10.2 nearly booting on FSC Primergy RX330 S1

2007-10-25 Thread Felix Schäfer

Hello everyone,

We just received a brand new server, and I just spent several hours  
trying to install OpenSuse on it, but couldn't get it to. The  
Hardware is a Fujitsu-Siemens Primergy RX330 S1 (product page here  
http://www.fujitsu-siemens.com/products/standard_servers/rack/ 
primergy_rx330s1.html ), and I tried both the 10.3, and then the 10.2  
net install discs. I even tried the 10.3 Gnome install CD, just to be  
sure. (Note: all 3 are the x86_64 flavors)


Both 10.3 discs didn't even get me to any menu or anything: I would  
get grub (is it grub?), and go to the normal installation. It then  
tries to load a bunch of modules (first was pata_serverworks, which  
crashed and I subsequently had to deactivate it with brokenmodules),  
eventually getting to the NICs, and crashes after that. Even  
disabling the module it tries to load then (tg3) doesn't help, it  
does nothing for a few seconds (cursor blinks), and then just  
reboots. I tried disabling the NICs in the BIOS (all of them, even  
the management thing), but it still tries to load the module.


I had a little more luck with the 10.2 disc, as I could get to the  
installation or other stuff menu (can't remember what exactly is in  
there) without the need to disable or block any modules, and I can  
start the http installation, it downloads the image for the graphical  
installation, it even gets there, probes the mouse (little window  
hovering), the window disappears, the menu on the left hand  
appears, and the thing crashes. No error, no nothing which could give  
me any information about what causes the problem.


I then tried different other discs I had lying around: a minimal  
Gentoo x86, a Gentoo LiveCD x86_64, a Damn Small Linux x86, but none  
worked as expected. The Gentoo discs fail while trying to mount /dev/ 
hda (the optical drive), and the DSL doesn't manage to start an X,  
and defaults to the CLI Interface, but I don't get networking or  
anything, even USB is broken somehow (tried to copy the ouput from  
lspci).


Any suggestions what I could try from here on? Or this there someone  
out there with the same server who managed to get _any_ GNU/Linux  
distribution on it?


Thanks in advance,

Felix Schäfer--

There are many methods for Linux.  First, you can always have remote

I found that sometimes I forgot that I created a new file in the office,

syncsend Projects, it asks if I want to delete that new file. I then
say no and subsequently run  syncget Projects to bring that file to
my desktop at home.

You want to save these scripts in your ~/bin/ directory and make them
executable (right-click/Properties  or  chmod ug+x sync*).
Edit the files to have your own default destination and maybe adapt the
default exclusions.
You also want to enter the option --dry-run at the prompt when you run
it the first time, just to make sure the scripts do what you want,
before it really counts.

  To clarify: I understand that this is the only CD I need to run to upgrade

  which time the exercise is complete. 

Since I wrote my message, I have found and read the openSuSE News Announcement
page, which has answered all the questions I asked you. You have added a good
bit of information and insight, however, and have also raised additional
questions.
 
 It will not ask you for the CD2 as there is no such thing in openSUSE 10.3. 
 There is either KDE single CD or GNOME single CD, and DVD with both. 
 The software that is not on CD or DVD is available online on FTP or HTTP 
 servers. 

Yes, I understand that now.

 Be aware that if installer of openSUSE 10.3 find working Internet connection 
 it will attempt to download much more than it is present on CD. With slow 
 Internet it can be very long download that can't be interrupted or 
 installation will fail. I have no exact number but it can be between 2 and 3 
 GB. To avoid that:

I would not have thought of that.

 1- turn Internet off before installation,
 2- save your data from openSUSE 10.2 (make backup)

I'll just back it up in toto. That will bring over my Documents, Java programs
and email data and my few other third party programs. Beyond that, I think only
the Knode logon data and the Firefox profile files need to be saved.

 3- install openSUSE 10.3 (select New Installation)

Why? I was going to install over the existing v10.2, which would mean selecting
the Upgrade option. The single HD is entirely allocated. If there is a real
reason for installing separately, I'd add a second HD.

 * be aware that if you don't install on a new partition (some 10 GB, but more 
 is better) it will format you existing partition and all data that are not 
 saved will be lost 

I am SO glad you told me this. What a mistake it was to install v10.2 in a
single monster partition!! I had wanted to install /home in a separate
partition in order to protect my own data and programs from this kind of
ambush; I was talked out of that by experienced users, who argued that there
was no advantage to doing this.. As for installing v10.3. I now see the virtue
of a New Installation; I need to put in a separate HD to manage that.

 * installation runs in 2 phase with reboot after first phase to start new 
 installed kernel. It is done when you see the message telling you that 
 installation is complete and your newly installed system will be started 
 (this time it will happen without reboot as new kernel is already running). 
 4- start YaST and configure network and Internet
 5- run YOU (YaST Online Update) as there are already some patches for 10.3
 
 After all above is done you will have running openSUSE 10.3 and you can add 
 applications from Internet repositories with smaller downloads, while you are 
 using computer. 
 
 The other option, loading all patches for 10.2 would also ask for huge 
 download and as result you will have older version of openSUSE that is 
 missing a lot of new features. 
 
  What will have been updated is KDE and 
  possibly other elements of the OS itself; the kernel is unchanged however?
 
 Lets call small change update, and big change upgrade. 
 
 Installation of 10.3 will be upgrade. 
 Everything, including kernel, will be new. 
 
 There is small problem with naming upgrade vs. update. 
 In openSUSE everything is called update, big or small change, but there are 
 different levels:
 - If you go from openSUSE 10.2 to 10.3 it will be called System Update and, 
 as 
 it is mentioned, is a large change
 - In case that you update KDE for 10.3 to newer version of KDE (still 
 compiled 
 for 10.3) it will be considered as (normal) update.  
 
  In future, when asked for any CD beyond CD1, I am to use the disks from the
  v10.2 set.
 
 The openSUSE 10.2 CD set will be useless.

Clear to me sfrom the Announcement page. 

 When I used example with windows I tried to tell you that:
 - openSUSE 10.2 is one operating system, and 
 - openSUSE 10.3 is another. 

It went over my head, but I now see that this is indeed the dase. Surprising
for a minor release number.

 Only one number difference in the name means a lot of changes. Programs 
 designed for 10.2 generally don't work under 10.3. There are some exceptions, 
 but elaborate answer is far beyond email article (and my knowledge). 
 
 For instance YaST and zypper are much faster and have new features missing in 
 10.2. Many people upgraded from 10.2 to 10.3 for this single reason, and 
 there is many more. 
 
  Is all that correct?
 
 As you can see it isn't, but installing openSUSE 10.3 will give you brand new 
 software.  


Again, I am VERY grateful for your comments and insight.

Re: [opensuse] Can I do this with rsync? (scripts)

2007-10-25 Thread Carlos F Lange
Bob,

Your reply just made me notice that I replied to you directly, instead 
of to the mailing-list. So, I resent my message for the benefit of the 
others.

On Wed October 24 2007 20:06, Robert Smits wrote:
 What does the first line with #!/bin/bash do? I understand it's a
 descriptive comment, but what does the !/bin/bash do for you.

It is not a comment. While # starts comments anywhere else in a bash 
script, if the script starts with  #!/bin/bash, bash will be used to 
interpret the script, even if someone's login shell is csh or tcsh. For 
example, if I had used the Bourne shell syntax, I should start my 
script with #!/bin/sh.

 Second, I've been using rsync in the form rsync -a source file
 location destination file location. Is it because you want to do this
 interactively that you've added all these other options?

The fundamental difference is that both ends are active. If I was just 
mirroring my home to a passive backup destination, then a pure 
--archive option would suffice and I would probably do it on my entire 
$HOME. But in my case, I synchronize only key directory trees between 
the 3 machines and any of the 3 can have a more recent version of a 
document. 
--compress: speeds up synchronization between office and home.
--update: prevents overwriting a newer version on the destination, if I 
forgot to update it in the source first. Say I change 
Projects/ABC/file1 in the office and forget I changed it. Then I work 
on Projects/ABC/file2 at home. If I didn't use update, I would revert 
to the old version of file1 when I archive Projects/ to the office. 
--partial --delay-updates: keep partial transfers if the connection 
breaks, so a restart only transfers the rest. The problem is the time 
of a partial file is always newer, since the time stamp is adjusted at 
the end. So, at restart a partial file would not only look complete, 
but also more recent, and when I synchronize back, I would corrupt the 
source, hence delay-updates.
--progress: just to see that the connection is not hanging in case of 
large files.

  I found that sometimes I forgot that I created a new file in the
  office, say under Projects/ABC/, and when I work from home and I
  want to syncsend Projects, it asks if I want to delete that new
  file. I then say no and subsequently run  syncget Projects to
  bring that file to my desktop at home.

 But if i use the rsync command without the --delete parameter it
 won't delete any files at all on the receiving side, right? And if I
 have an extra one in either receiving or sending side, it'll add it,
 right?

Your synchronization is always one way, never back and forth at once. 
Without --delete, rsync will notice that there is an extra file at the 
destination, which would normally mean you deleted the corresponding 
file in the source, but rsync will not synchronize this deletion. rsync 
cannot know that in my case the destination side is not a pure backup 
site and that it can also generate new content. I have to run rsync 
office home, which is syncget in this case, for rsync to bring the 
new file to my home machine.

 Well.my scripts were much more primitive and I'll study yours to see
 how they add functionality. Once I have the scripts working I just
 want to run them daily with cron.

These are just different scenarios. I would use a cron job to sync to a 
true, passive backup site. Since all my sites are active and I am 
somewhat absent-minded, my initially simple interactive script evolved 
to this. :)

It will probably give you the symptom you already have.  then try
xine -V xshm filename
if that works its your xv extension same as me.
xshm is reputedly slower and drops frames, but its all I got :)  To make

 Hi Having just tried touse 10.3  on the laptop i use for presentations every
 second week  i found last night  that i can no longer switch between the
 built in display and the large screen display i use at the club .

 This has always worked flawlessly under 10.2  using the  Fn+F4 keys to switch
 as per keyboard   .

 Laptop is an Compaq Presario V5030  Turion 64 bit   with pesky ATI M200
 graphics chip  ..


 Ideas   please  needed working for   Tuesday 13th november  ..


I found out that on my Dell the Fn-F8 combo works only while the boot
screen is present. If once the kdm kicks in, this combo no longer
works. And if I switch while on boot screen, the kdm becomes broken,
and X does not start. I have no idea why.

But the next thing I found out is, that if I boot the laptop while the
second monitor (projector) is connected, it will boot initially only
on the build-in screen, but when kdm (X) starts, it will display on
both of them.

And yes, with 10.2, I was able to use fn-F8 whenever I wanted to.

So, you may try to connect the projector and then boot, and see if
this workaround works for you.

- Base clock: 333 MHz
- CPU Multiplier 9 (2.997 GHz)
- DRAM Multiplier 5:2 (833 MHz)

The BIOS reports are consistent with these settings, but everything 
displayed under Linux seems to reflect the default CPU multiplier value 
of 10. Thus, KSensors and /proc/cpuinfo (KPowersave, as well) show the 
CPU clock as 3.33 GHz.

What's even more inexplicable (to me) is the fact that the bogoMIPS 
value is consistent with this (w.r.t. the values it had when the CPU 
multiplier _was_ set to the default 10): 6662 and 6658. (When the base 
clock was 300 and the CPU multiplier was 10, bogoMIPS was about 6000.)

The reason I find this inexplicable is that I thought bogoMIPS was 
computed empirically, by running some simple timing loops. If that's 
correct, then this value should reflect the actual CPU speed of 3 GHz, 
right?


Can anyone explain this?

 Hey, 
 
 How did things go? Sorry, started updating my MythBox last night.. and that 
 took alot longer then expected (Ubuntu 7.04 to 7.10) and it broke my VNC and 
 I don't have my router forwarding SSH :( .. So can't work on from here go get 
 VNC working.. Oh well TV works fine :D

Here is where we are. After installing 8.42.3, I found that rpm -e of
either the 8.40 or 8.41 driver failed to remove and replace the
/usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2* library with the new /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2*
from 8.42. This was causing a conflict that borked fglrx. After fixing
this by moving /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 to /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2.old and then

# ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2

J (CyberOrg) was most helpful in pointing out that there may be other
libGL conflicts. However, after make the above change, fgl_glxgears and
fglrxinfo work as they are supposed to. Also, after looking for
additional conflicts, I think I'm OK. (do you see anything else amiss)

http://www.3111skyline.com/download/screenshot/libGL_pkgs01.png
http://www.3111skyline.com/download/screenshot/libGL_pkgs02.png

 However, the AIT control center (/usr/bin/amdcccle) still will NOT
run. I haven't a clue what is causing this problem. As we spoke, the
java error is still present:

[root rankin-p35a/home/david] #  /usr/bin/amdcccle
amdcccle: xcb_xlib.c:52: xcb_xlib_unlock: Assertion `c-xlib.lock' failed.
Aborted

export LIBXCB_ALLOW_SLOPPY_LOCK=true, eliminates the error, but the
control center will not start and requires a ctrl+c to kill the process.
Also, aticonfig will NOT run.

I have posted my xorg.conf. If anyone can take a look and see if there
is anything wrong, I would appreciate it. It is at:

http://www.3111skyline.com/download/screenshot/xorg.conf

J also has a very helpful blog for the new drivers:

http://dev.compiz-fusion.org/~cyberorg/2007/10/24/ati-8433-on-opensuse-the-hard-way/

The blog pointed out that I needed to edit xorg.conf and add:

Option “AIGLX” “true” to ServerFlags and change the extensions:

Section “Extensions
Option “DAMAGE” “true”
Option “Composite” “true”
EndSection

This is where I am. I have not loaded xorg 7.3 yet and I am still
trying to get compiz working. kwin works like a dream, good 3D, frame
rates, etc. My goal is NOT to have to reload 10.3! That shouldn't be
necessary, and I don't want to kill 5 hours installing, patching and
re-tweaking, even with the benefit of Yast autoinstall and simply saving
and remounting /home.

So I am back to my plea for HELP! Y'all have been great to help me get
this far, and I'm confident I can make this work. Is the anything else I
can send or post that might help get to the bottom of what is going on??

[opensuse] Can I verify using k3b?

2007-10-25 Thread John E. Perry
I finally worked up the courage to upgrade to 10.3.  Using K3b, I wrote
a dvd, but some time in the past, the verify and do not eject buttons
got unchecked and I didn't notice it.

K3b completed without error, but, since it ejected the dvd, it errored
out, and now I have a (probably) good dvd to use for installation, but
can't convince K3b to verify it.

Should I just burn a new dvd, or is there some way to verify its
contents before destroying my 10.2 system?

OK, Hold On! After making the above changes to xorg, something has
definitively changed! I know have the compiz looking full rich shadows
around all text boxes, screen performance is down (like I'm pushing a
lot more graphics to the screen), but session manager shown a greyed out
kwin with no option to select compiz? The greyed kwin is normal for
session manager. The display definitively looks better, but has a few
exta flashes every now and then.

What do I need to do to get compiz now? Another 1-click install? Thanks

[opensuse] Grub on CD

Hello All,

I have a friend who is trying Linux after listening to me go on about how good 
and stable it is for a few years.   He is happy to install to a partition on 
his harddrive but is not happy to have grub in his mbr.

So my question is can grub be put onto a CD so if he wants to boot into linux 
he puts the CD in to the drive and let it boot into linux ?

If he can how would he go about putting a bootable copy of grub on a CD ?

Hi!
This won't work.

Alternatives:
1) use a floppy disk with grub on the boot sector which then loads
everything from the hard disk (/ or /boot partition). Fast, because only
the boot sector (512 bytes) should be loaded from the disk, NOT the
other grub stages, menu.lst and the kernel.
I haven't done this with grub, only with lilo, yet.

2) put grub onto the boot sector of the / or the /boot partition (if you
have one).
Then, configure your XP boot menu to boot this partition.
You have to get a certain tool -- bootpart,
http://www.winimage.com/bootpart.htm, create a boot sector file that
boots the /[boot] partition, and enter it into boot.ini of windows
partition (probably C:\).

3) for a CD boot, you need isolinux. As this is probably not what you
want/need, I just leave it with that.

I'd guess that (2) is the best solution for your friend; I had done this
for quite some time, with 2000 and XP, and LILO on the linux
partition(s). For some time though, grub is on the MBR.

By the way:
To restore the MBR for Windows, if you should overwrite it, you need to
boot a windows (XP) CD, boot into rescue console, select your
installation (probably 1), enter the Administrator password, and type
fixmbr, possible fixboot afterwards.
Vista should also be able to do this, though I don't exactly know how.

Hope this helps,
Sebastian

Hi!
You can also do an md5sum check ... if you are able to read all files,
they should(!) be OK. Instead of copying them to the hd, I usually just run
find /media/YYY -type f |xargs md5sum  ~/10.3.md5
Only works this easy way if there are no spaces in dir or file names -
for the 10.3 installation, this should be the case.
Prints all the files with their md5sums.
The sums itself are of no importance, yet look for read errors!

Hope this helps,
Sebastian

You don't quite explicitly say it, but I take it the DVD you burned is 
one of the openSUSE 10.3 installation discs. If so, then you can verify 
it using the YaST Media Check module on your 10.2 system.

If you still have the .iso image file, you can compare it byte-for-byte 
with the burned disc like this:

% cmp openSUSE-10.3-GM-DVD-i386.iso /dev/DVD_DRIVE_DEVICE

You'll have to substitute the name of your DVD drive for 
DVD_DRIVE_DEVICE.

Why not just get rid of the graphic splash, set widows as the default
and set the timeout to 1 second. He would probably never even notice
grub. If he then wanted to boot linux, he could just tap a key during
boot to stop the timeout and boot to linux.

There are two things that have to be right.   First, the media has to be
copied correctly and there have been a few suggestions about
thathowever, I get the impression you are talking about the Media
verification done during install or by your media verification in Yast
in your current system.   If that says it is bad then there is a third
possibility:   The ISO file itself that you created the copy from could
be defective and you can make as many good copies of that bad file and
still end up with a bad install disk.So IF you are referring to the
verify during install or  media check indicating problems, the next step
would be to ensure the ISO file was good to begin with.I don't have
it handy right now, but there is a MD5SUM available for the iso itself
which could be compared to the one you have on your disk.   If they
don't match, don't use it to make more coasters with :)

Taskbar:
-Doesn't display all windows (have show from all desktops disabled, when this 
is enabled, they all show up)
-Hiding is inttermittant

KDE:
-altF2 doesn't bring up the run dialog
-kde decorations not working, using emerald

Plugins:
-Water Effect doesn't toggle off all the way.  CPU stays at 88% used, even

-Window Placement doesn't seem to care about title=KMail
-Window Rules WILL see the title=KMail for non-movable window, but if you use 
the mouse in upper right corner, select KMail, it moves it to centered 
screen1 instead of the non-movable location 0,0 on screen 2.

Compiz:
-With Water effects going, cube fish, cube gears, yast_update, and

get to VC1 and init 3/5)   (stress test)
-sometimes when the screen saver kicks in, it is off centered.  Instead of X/Y 
for upper left being 0,0 (whole screen) it is somewhere like (800,600) 
instead
-No window title bars can go above 0,0.  I use VNC to view remote desktops, 
and I always put the VNC title bar above 0 so that the remote title bar is at

[opensuse] ksensors does not display harddisk temperature

2007-10-25 Thread Eberhard Roloff
Hi,
I am using 10.3/32bit and my toolk for monitoring cpu temp and speed,
fan speeds and the like is lm-sensors with the KDE frontend ksensors.

Up to SuSE 10.2 this used to also display the temperature of my harddisk
if I had hddtemp installed.

Now I have hddtemp installed, but for the life of me I cannot get
ksensors to display my harddisk temperature. Anything else from
lm-sensors is there. I am using ksensors 0.7.3 from packman.

Any hints how to get my harddisk temperature into ksensors to be
displayed on my desktop are appreciated?

Thanks much for help

Eberhard

I tried both but still it not working,

i even installed SuSE boot splash theme and modified splash in grub to

#splash -s -f ./bootsplash-1024x768.cfg /boot/initrd

is there any way to find whether the kernel supports splash, b'cos the

here is the kernel line in the grub

I think you could tell Yast to install grub on a floppy. When that works, 
you burn a CD (with k3b, for instance) telling it to use the floppy as an 
El Torito boot image. The actual data of the CD doesn't matter (maybe 
you have to 'dd' the floppy to a file first).


Of course, he needs a floppy drive first... And I haven't tried this 
procedure with Linux, only with msdos; so I can't certify it works.

[opensuse] How does one upgrade to the next stable release of openSUSE?

2007-10-25 Thread Aniruddha

I am trying to learn as much as I can about openSUSE, however there is
one crucial design philosophy I have difficulty to grasp; openSUSE way
of handeling updates. I wonder:

-Which ways are there to update openSUSE from one stable release to
another?

-Is it also possible to skip a release when updating? e.g. is it
possible to update 10 to 10.3 or 9 to 10.2?

- Is there also an incremental stable (not factory) update possibility?
This would mean that when openSUSE 11 is released openSUSE 10.3 users
have already updated to 11 incrementally  meaning no need for upgrading.

Current setup with openSUSE 10.3 doesn't install grub in MBR. 
It is actually installed on openSUSE partition that is declared active so you 
can boot with any boot loader that will transfer control to boot sector of

Weird that you had to install the Compiz Fusion Icon for it to work correctly. 

What DE are you using? 

My startup script is:

sleep 5
compiz --replace ccp 

Sleep 5 because it lets the system tray icons set first.. 

Also check the ccsm settings to see if the workaround for firefox are enabled.

Re: [opensuse] How does one upgrade to the next stable release of openSUSE?

 is one crucial design philosophy I have difficulty to grasp; openSUSE
 way of handeling updates. I wonder:

 -Which ways are there to update openSUSE from one stable release to
 another?

The installer is designed for either fresh installation (ignoring any 
existing one) or an upgrade installation, which is done incrementally 
w.r.t. an existing installation. You make an explicit selection of 
which mode early on when running the installer.


 -Is it also possible to skip a release when updating? e.g. is it
 possible to update 10 to 10.3 or 9 to 10.2?

It is, but see below. I recall one person recently mentioning here (this 
list) successfully doing a 10.0 - 10.3 upgrade. More below.


 - Is there also an incremental stable (not factory) update
 possibility? This would mean that when openSUSE 11 is released
 openSUSE 10.3 users have already updated to 11 incrementally  meaning
 no need for upgrading.

Here are some of my perspectives, views and opinions. They are neither 
authoritative, definitive nor official.

- The view long held by those among us inclined to be conservative about 
system stability and integrity have generally had a strong preference 
for using only clean installs, not upgrades.

- I think it's likely (without having any particular evidence for it—
just a hunch) that skipping more releases is likely to increase the 
risk of there being issues during upgrade.

- I have used only clean installs until the release of openSUSE 10.3, 
which I applied as an upgrade from 10.2. There are several salient 
facts surrounding this, however:
-- It was not convenient for me (for irrelevant reasons) to do a clean 
install.
-- The machine was not a critical resource.
-- The machine was running nearly a stock installation of 10.2.
-- I spent considerable time during the actual installation process 
using the installer to resolve package conflicts.
-- I spent considerable time after the installation was complete 
performing further cleaning up of left-over packages from the 10.2 
installation (see the thread How To Route Out Leftover Pre-Upgrade 
Packages? from [EMAIL PROTECTED]:50 (PDT == GMT - 0700)).

- I encountered a problem with the installer in which it failed to 
install GRUB. I had to mangle it manually, and this is not something 
for amateurs.

- It is immensely helpful to have a separate working system with 
Internet access so you can access on-line resources to help you with 
any difficulties that might arise.

- When I asked about a 10.2 - 10.3 upgrade that would have gone from 
32-bit to 64-bit, I was told this would not work. I decided not to try, 
and stuck with 32-bit.


Overall, I'm satisfied with the result of my 10.2 - 10.3 upgrade, but 
I'd still prefer clean installations. Were it convenient or had the 
system been a more critical resource or had it diverged more from a 
stock installation, I would have been even more reluctant to have tried 
an upgrade.


In short, unless you have fair expertise in Linux and SUSE internals and 
have good fallback computing resources, I'd stick to a clean 
installation.

   Why not just get rid of the graphic splash, set widows as the default
 and set the timeout to 1 second. He would probably never even notice
 grub. If he then wanted to boot linux, he could just tap a key during
 boot to stop the timeout and boot to linux.

 I think you could tell Yast to install grub on a floppy. When that works,
 you burn a CD (with k3b, for instance) telling it to use the floppy as an
 El Torito boot image. The actual data of the CD doesn't matter (maybe
 you have to 'dd' the floppy to a file first).

 Of course, he needs a floppy drive first... And I haven't tried this
 procedure with Linux, only with msdos; so I can't certify it works.

He don't have a floppy on his laptop.

[opensuse] Yast/Sax2 Bug - ATI MOBILITY RADEON 9600/9700 Series

2007-10-25 Thread David C. Rankin J.D. P.E.
Sax2 does not properly recognize the ATI MOBILITY RADEON 9600/9700
Series card on Toshiba P35 laptops and incorrectly selects ATI Rv350
NP as the card and provides a pop-up saying that 3d isn't available:

http://www.3111skyline.com/download/screenshot/sax2ati3d_error.png

glxinf and fglrxinfo both correctly see the card:

15:55 rankin-p35a~/Pictures/screenshots fglrxinfo
display: :0.0  screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: ATI MOBILITY RADEON 9600/9700 Series
OpenGL version string: 2.0.6958 Release

This did not occur with the 8.41 driver. It did/does occur with the
8.40 and 8.42 ati driver. The card does support 3D, so this is very
confusing when your are trying to get the drivers installed and
troubleshoot the installation.

[opensuse] Compiz - How to put SuSE Updater back in the systray?

2007-10-25 Thread David C. Rankin J.D. P.E.
On 10.3,

Compiz is working, but I can't get opensuse updater back into the
systray? If I manually start it, when I close it, it goes completely
away and doesn't remain active in the systray. I've tried add applet and
add application, but that just sticks the button in there. I recall a
prior post, but can't find it now. Thanks.

[opensuse] nagios on OpenSUSE 10.3

2007-10-25 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi all,

I just installed nagios on OpenSUSE 10.3.
Nagios Network Monitor 2.9-48
NagiosGrapher 1.6.1RC3-58
Nagios Remote Plug-in Executor 2.8.1-50
Nagios Service Check Accelerator  Client 2.7.2-11
Nagios Plug-Ins 1.4.9-19
Nagios Plug-Ins Extra 1.4.9-19
Nagios Network Monitor 2.9-48

I went through the installation docs on 
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/quickstart-opensuse.html

The installation is for OpenSUSE 10.2. I noticed that the config files are 
quite somewhere else in 10.3.
Up to point 7 the installation with YaST works. In the documentation, I tried 
and even got a test run done successfully with:

nagios -v /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg

Total Warnings: 0
Total Errors:   0

Things look okay - No serious problems were detected during the pre-flight check

I started nagios as in point 7 with: service nagios start

It went OK: 
# service nagios start
Starting nagios   done

I installed autostarting of Nagios with boot:

chkconfig --add nagios
chkconfig nagios on

I want to use FireFox as described in 8: http://localhost/nagios/

There is no entry or a directory in /srv/www/htdocs for nagios

Has anyone done an installation on 10.3 and got it working with Apache?

:-)

If you've ever installed SuSE off of a CD or DVD, the boot
screen has the following options

 [  ]   Boot Installed System
 [  ]   Memtest86
 [  ]   Install SuSE Linux
 [  ]   Safe Install SuSE Linux

 [the last option being one with the noapic and another option
  which prevents problems with older motherboards]

So just use a SuSE install CD as a boot CD.



If he can how would he go about putting a bootable copy of grub on a CD ?



It's already on the SuSE install CD/DVD

Unless they were entirely idiosyncratic or perhaps just cockpit error, 
it might be helpful to hear a bit about the problems you did encounter 
and how you resolved them.
