[opensuse-factory] YaST (or KDE4) problem

2007-10-26 Thread Rajko M.
Tried to update KDE4 to newest and got dependency problem that seems to be 
software management problem (or KDE4 packaging):

Message 1 (there is another 2 about libkdefx.so.5()(64bit) )
--
Can't satisfy requirement libkdefx.so.5()(64bit) 
for   kde4-fsview-3.93.0.svn712059-13.x86_64

=== kde4-fsview-3.93.0.svn712059-13.x86_64 ===
libkde4-3.93.0.svn712047-5.x86_64 
provides 
libkdefx.so.5()(64bit), 
but is scheduled to be uninstalled.

libkde4-3.93.0.svn712047-5.x86_64[repo-standard] 
provides 
libkdefx.so.5()(64bit), 
but another version of that package is already installed.

kde4-fsview-3.93.0.svn712059-13.x86_64 
depends on libkde4
kde4-fsview-3.93.0.svn712059-13.x86_64 
is lacking the requirement libkdefx.so.5()(64bit)
(null)
Conflict Resolution:
( ) delete kde4-ksig
( ) Ignore this requirement just here
( ) Generally ignore this requirement
Can't satisfy requirement libkdefx.so.5()(64bit) for

This resembles on some old libzypp bug. I can't recall right now which one and 
got no time to investigate.

I will look for the plasma debug pkgs, because it is impossible to make
a backtrace now, and i mean: imposible.
As a matter of fact, i have not seen this behaviour ever before
The crash-handler itself 'crashes', and it is impossible to shut
lancelot down a normal way..
I will try to kill the pid, and see if the process stops..
If this is the case, i will start it up again, and see if it can be shut

It keeps on crashing, that's why several backtraces:

pid showed for about 1sec, too short to kill it.
This happened only once, so until now impossible to shut down.
Restart DE brings the crashing app back to life, and i realy do not know

 If this is the case, i will start it up again, and see if it can be shut

Once again, a strange hardware problem has hit. At least it's on my

checking everything I can think of, searching the Net. as well, trying
to find the answer as to why an Epson Precision 4990 Photo printer can't
be configured by Yast.

It IS seen by the system, as I checked with hwinfo --usb and it's found,
so I know that it does respond to the USB port. I have the 3 iscan files
installed, which are supposed to provide FULL function for this scanner,
yet, when I use edit in Yast, an entry is entered for epson that
says the scanner can't be found. I double checked that it can't be used
with xsane and iscan. The is the first time I've not been able to
configure a scanner that is seen by the system and drivers are rated as
complete and listed in Yast.

I hope someone knows a cure for this! I'm using 10.3 64-bit.

Tanks in advance!
  
As with your problem a couple of weeks ago, I am unable to give you a 
definitive answer but can offer this comment.


Only last night I read an article (about power supplies) which is 
pointing out that with all the new CPUs and video cards most of the 
problems (such as you may be experiencing) are/maybe caused by poor 
PSUs. El cheapo PSUs -- and these do not necessarily include those which 
are pretty high priced! - even though rated as being able to high 
wattage demands may not be able to do so and therefore cause 'you' problems.


As a guide, I have been using the following table to work out what sort 
of wattage my PSU should be able to handle:


COMPONENT  
WATTS


MOB  
15-30

CPU-
Low 
end 
20-50
High 
end(1)
60-100
RAM 
7W/128MB
PCI 
card 
5
Network card 
4
Floppy   
5

Graphics card-
Low 
end 
20-60
High 
end(1)
60-100
CD/DVD/RW   
 10-25
IDE HD   
  10-30
SCSI - 10K-15K   
  10-45


To the TOTAL watts arrived at using above, ADD 30% to arrive at the 
wattage needed to be handled by the PSU.



(Note1: these figures are applicable BEFORE the latest dual-and 
quad-core CPUs and also before the latest high end video cards came into 
being. Check their tech data to see what wattage they draw.)



While the above figures give you a ball-park figure for what wattage 
your PSU should be able to handle, it then becomes a matter of ensuring 
that you get a PSU which *will* be able to 'deliver' because many PSUs 
(including expensive ones) claim one thing but simply do not 'deliver' 
when it comes to the crunch.


Cheers.

Just to back up Basil's comments... I had loads of odd and unsolvable
problems with peripheral devices (like printers), and randomly failing
hard drives (that worked fine when put into a second test machine).
Very frustrating problems that I knew should not be a problem, or
should be easily solved.

I ended up replacing the PSU with a BeQuiet 600W
(http://www.be-quiet.net), and that cleared it all up.  The computer
has been rock solid stable ever since.  Now the only issues I have are
all the ones I create by tinkering.

 downloaded apps and installed them with it, but a few I'd like to get rid
 of because I don't use them and they just won't go away.

 As I said I launch YAST2, find the apps I want to uninstall, and then mark
 them for deletion, and then when I finish it says it's installing them
 instead and they still show up on the SUSE menu.

 Any help is appreciated,

Mark for deinstallation is trash can. 
Icon with Z is to refresh or update. 
Checkmark is for installation.

 What is it that causes mount.ntfs-3g to run at what seems like random

[opensuse] switch harddisk between notebook

2007-10-26 Thread Hans Linux
i m 2 notebooks, hp pavilion dv2201 and dv2213. I m running opensuse103
+ vista on dv2213.

Problem :
My dv2213 is somehow not stable, while i m working with it, it suddenly
power off without notice. The same symptom happen to both vista and
opensuse. Looks like hardware failure or something, so i send it to hp
service center. But since my OS dan data are important to me, I took out
the harddisk (160GB), and put it on my dv2201 (originally 120GB).

When I boot up to opensuse, there is a warning like Do you want me to
find bla bla harddisk id bla bla bla? (Y/n)
If I answer Y, it will try to find my harddisk (I guess), but end up
with nothing, just the sign $. Not system is running.
Answer n will give me that as well.

But if I boot it with my opensuse dvd, choose the installation and Boot
the Installed System, the system will run without problem, meaning the
harddisk is detected, opensuse is normal.

The specification of dv2201 and dv2213 is all the same, except dv2201
uses T5500 processor, dv2213 uses 7200 processor, that's it.

Question :
How do fix it so i dont to to boot from dvd everytime? Should I run a
Recover Installation? Will it replace all my setting like compiz fusion
and set everything back to default? I love my setting right now, dont
wanna lose it :(

Thx for any help

  I have appended my kernel config. It is the standard config minus
  everything that I thought could potentially hurt syscall performance (8
  changes all together). Since building a kernel takes quite some time on
  my machine I haven't checked exactly which change it was.
 
  Note that I used UTF-8 again, but Shell Script performance still went up
by 17-18 points. That is a 5% speed increase for a shell script,
  simply because of the new kernel! Quite likely other applications will
  benefit as well.
 
  I think Suse should really look into this issue, getting 5% more
  performance in your applications is something that everyone would like
  to have. But so far, I have gotten no replies to my bug report [1]. Btw,
  if you have a Bugzilla account you can add yourself to the CC: list and

[opensuse] Installing windows last

2007-10-26 Thread Jake Conk
Hello,

I have  openSUSE setup right now on my machine that has 2 mirrored
80gb disks. I just got another disk 80gb disk but I would like to
install windows on it. My question is, is it possible to install
windows on that new disk without it taking off my grub? I know most
multiboot setups that include windows always say install windows first
then install linux so it can auto detect your windows partition and
setup grub accordingly but in my case I already have linux setup and
want to install windows while keeping suse's grub menu. Is this
possible and how?

I don't know about such a model.
Up to now I only know about an Epson Perfection 4990 Photo.


 I have the 3 iscan files installed

Which 3 _files_?
I guess you talk about RPMs?
If yes, which exact RPM package names?


 which are supposed to provide FULL function for this scanner,

From where do you have this information?
As an Epson Precision 4990 Photo is neither listed in YaST
nor can be found via http://www.sane-project.org/cgi-bin/driver.pl
you must have got this information from somewhere else.


 I'm using 10.3 64-bit.

Did you read the info about iscan on 64-bit hardware in YaST?

For example the Epson Perfection 4990 Photo is shown in YaST
with driver epkowa and the info shows requires DFSG non-free
iscan-plugin-gt-x750 and when you try to set it up in YaST,
it shows this message:
---
The package iscan should be installed but it contains
proprietary binary-only i386-only software.
Therefore it is only available for i386-compatible
architectures and it may cause problems on AMD 64-bit
(x86_64) systems.
---

The DFSG non-free iscan-plugin-gt-x750 is provided in the
package iscan-proprietary-drivers and the RPM info is
---
Proprietary Driver Libraries for Image Scan for Epson Scanners
The proprietary binary-only i386-only libraries are provided
(in object code form only) ...
---

This means that the iscan-plugin-gt-x750 doesn't work on
a plain 64-bit system - it might work if all required
32-bit libraries are installed on your 64-bit system
and it should work if you install a 32-bit openSUSE on
your 64-bit hardware.

The plain iscan (without a iscan-plugin-*) should work
o.k. on a 64-bit system if all required 32-bit libraries
are installed (in particular sane-backends-32bit.rpm)
but I don't know the exact details for each possible case
when which of these proprietary driver stuff works or fails.
Therefore I don't want to show an ultimate this device
does not work on your system message in YaST.

Hi,
the best problems are those that you solve yourself.

I was so tired that it did not work.

I googled and found that some people had it properly working on Debian.

So for the fun of it, I downloaded the Debian Etch Packet of ksensors
and converted this to an rpm with the alien utility.

Then I deleted the packman ksensors rpm and installed the ex-debian packet.

Surprise: My harddisk temperature suddenly is there, just as it were
before 10.3!

Anyone knows how to report a bug for a packman package?

Re: [opensuse] opensuse 10.3 updates breaking login to kde -RESOLVED

2007-10-26 Thread Barrie Hill
Thanks to Marcus Meissner, who pointed me in the right direction to fix
this problem.

Problem:

1. Opensuse updates caused login to KDE to break.
Openssl updates caused apparent password failure
Updates in question were

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


2. X11 server update froze the mouse pointer and I wasn't able to enter
a password. (This happened a few days after problem 1)

Updates in question were
xorg-x11-server  4595-0


Solution:

1. To enable me to login to KDE,

* I used ctrl-alt-f1to get me to a console
* Log in as root
* Mount the opensuse 10.3 dvd
mount /dev/sr1 /mnt
* Change directory to /mnt/suse/i586
* Run 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


2. Same steps as step 1, but use the following rpm command.

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


3. Once I was able to log in to KDE
* I disabled the FACTORY repositories
* Restarted the opensuse updater
* Installed all the updates with opensuse updater
* Logged out, logged back in, no problems. Rebooted and logged back in
to be sure.



The root cause of the problem, operator error. Me. :-(

Cheers, Barrie

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

Hash: SHA1

Aniruddha wrote:
 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.
 
 

I have used the upgrade route from 9.3 to 10.2. Most issues where config
file related (some inconsistency between configuration being retained
and configurations being backup up, and a couple being completely
pasted). It was some time ago I did this so I cannot remember details.

An upgrade between two of the 9.x or 8.x to 9.x versions (I forget
which) did create some additional problems in that guid and uid defaults
were changed which did create issues with NFS and to a lesser extent
samba.

The decision to upgrade or install cleanly is far as I am concerned not
straight forward, and IMHO the same considerations need to be taking in
account whatever version OS is involved.

IMHO It depends on the following factors...

1) How complex the current configuration is. In my experience merely
backing up /etc and another configuration locations and expecting the
machine to work again after copying back onto a clean install just does
not work. You need to have a good idea of what configuration files you
have changed and restore these configurations on an individual basis on
a clean install. An upgrade at least gives a chance that some parts of
your configuration are operational and potentially can save you time, by
flagging those which need attention. With a machine which has been
around for a while one probably is in situation that one cannot remember
all changes so this is useful

2) If you have a large number of applications installed upgrade does
give some benefits over clean install in that it will be quicker to get
what you had going provided that you check what is proposed to be
installed or removed by YaST. For a clean install part of the
preparation will be to list what one have installed so it can be restored.

3) If you are regular user of ssh you can expect your ssh connectivity
to the target machine to be initially non functional after a complete
install (expect BTW means plan for it, I remember in some circumstance
this has not occurred to others). The security certificates will have
changed and ssh clients will complain. While this is not a big problem
with one or two machines, with a large number of machines it is a
potential pain. Also if you have a large number of user accounts or
authentication settings it is wise to backup and restore security
related info to a clean install.

4) If you have a machine which has largely be installed from the SuSE
base repositories and you have few or no components from other sources
and you have a a separate home partition,  a clean install is probably
best option. In other cases it is largely dependant on to what extent
one can make verifiable backup of personal and configuration data (with
at least two copies). If you cannot do the latter defer until you can
either perform that backup or meet the former criteria.

5) If you are in an environment with spare kit whether you find a
suitable machine to do a dry run.

6) Have a good plan to get back to what you had before if does not work
out. Check if any changes to key software need to be taken into account.
While most applications have some backward compatibility, a large jump
between OS versions may also imply a significant change to service and
application configurations.

Planning is the key... merely throwing media into the machine and
hitting install is a good way of a torching your machine and your data...

It is, but see below. I recall one person recently mentioning here (this

I did 9.3 -- 10.2, no problems. Not unexpected problems, at least.


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'm an exception: I always upgrade. I have done so since 5.3. If it hoses 
(it did once, 7.3 -- 8.1), there is the backup and retry or clean 
install.


My advice is to do a full backup before either upgrading or instaling new 
version fresh.

It might be a dependency.

One of the options shows you what it is finally going to install/unistall. 
You should also click the button check dependencies.


If it fails, then use the comandline rpm --erase --force ...rpm - I

Re: [opensuse] OpenSUSE 10.3 Boxes (shipping?)

2007-10-26 Thread jfweber
On Mon October 22 2007, Jorge Fábregas scratched these words onto a 
coconut shell, hoping for an answer:
 Hello gys,

 Does anyone knows if the 10.3 boxes are already shipping? I ordered
 mine last Monday and I haven't received any shipping notification. It
 still says Pre-Order today on shop.novell.com though...

 I contacted CS but so far no answer :(


Thought I'd chime in here as well... 
;)
I just checked my confirmation email from Novell, which I got on Oct 
5, 2007  I noticed a couple of new-ish names that all generally 
resolve to Digital River.. i.e. [EMAIL PROTECTED] The messae 
lists a customer number and an order number ( so far so good) and ays 
what to look for on my credit card  and that I need to use the  
http://shop.novell.com/question  page for any quetions.. 

 As one of the other players mentioned, it gives that notice :  

 *If the product you have ordered is Built to Order, you will get an 
e-mail notification when your order is dispatched.* 
says my Cc wont be charged until I have my boxed set, that I will get a 
notice before it's shipped.. and oh yeah// Good news  It shows no 
shipping charge i.e.

SubTotal: $59.95
Shipping: $0.00
 
Tax: $0.00
Total: $59.95
Discount Total:  $5.00

oh yeah down at the very bottom of this email  this :

Please allow the following delivery times:

-  For Boxed product shipments, please allow 2 - 7 business days 
   for delivery from date of dispatch. 

- For International Shipments: Shipping charges do not include any 
  Brokerage Fees, Customs Fees or Taxes that you may be charged.

Most Omoshiroii , ne ? 

I too have heard nothing *atoll* since that first day.. when the email 
I'm quoting bits of turned up.
At least I'm said to be getting the no shipping fee as I was 
originally. Now if the box w/ the dvd's would turn up, I'd be a happy 
child...

Re: [opensuse] mount.ntfs-3g eating substantial CPU

2007-10-26 Thread Sebastian Brandt
Just a guess ...
ntfs-3g is the 3rd generation ntfs driver for the windows partitions.
When used (filesystem access), it uses quite some CPU. No idea why some
people say it is efficient ... I treat it as tool to write ntfs, when necessary.

So, for your problem ... if some background process searches the ntfs
partition(s), the cpu load of the process goes up ...

I'd suspect updatedb/(s)locate first, then beagled ...
When this happens, run a ps fax to find out which jobs are running;
usually, there is a large tree of cron-started processes, if it is updatedb.

If the windows partitions are not mounted in /mnt, have a look at
/etc/sysconfig/locate
and add the partitions/paths to
UPDATEDB_PRUNEPATHS
Then, locate should not search the ntfs-folders.

Alternatively, if you don't need/want to write into the ntfs folders, use
the old kernel ntfs driver, which is r/o.

Hope this helps,
Sebastian

 windows on that new disk without it taking off my grub? I know most

 then install linux so it can auto detect your windows partition and
 setup grub accordingly but in my case I already have linux setup and
 want to install windows while keeping suse's grub menu. Is this
 possible and how?

You should be able to install Windows after Linux too, however it's easier, 
more comfortable and safer, when you do it first. As I get from your 
description, I can understand you didn't installed it in the first place, but 
want to have it as alternative now.

When you install windows you can be sure it will screw up grub, in other words 
kill and replace it, however this isn't such a big problem if you've a Linux 
liveCD and can access the old system to re-do the grub install part, also 
you'll have to add the windows boot entry by hand but that shouldn't be a big 
deal either.

[opensuse] SuSE Menu and Yast

2007-10-26 Thread Teruel de Campo MD
Problem: yast entry is not any more under SuSE menu/computer tab

This seems to be a problem I have in two installations of opensuse 10.3.
Initially yast is there then without any problem is not there any more .
It is in System config. Yast works ok. 
Under KDE menu is also OK.

How can I add yast back to the SuSE menu/Computer tab.

 Thank you for stating that. This is a valuable lesson.

 I must say I am puzzled by the inconvenient upgrade path openSUSE (and
 most other distributions) offer. When you think about it any given
 system is only the sum of the kernel, gnu-utils and software packages
 like kde and X11. 

 Look at Linux from scratch, you wouldn't install the whole system twice
 because this is a waist of time, you only upgrade the packages you
 need/want. In short we use the 'cathedral' model for handeling 'bazar'
 type software.

 Where is the best place to propose an alternative? Novell bugzilla?

   
I have to say I do not agree.  I think SUSE provides one of the best
upgrades possible (don't have a lot to compare though).  I have mostly
upgraded, starting seriously at 6.4 (though I tried 6.2 and 6.3).  I
skipped til 7.3, then 8.0, then 8.2, and upgrading was not that hard. 
They even document the changes from version to version.  My present
system had a new install (because it was new hardware) with 9.1,
upgrades to 9.2, 9.3, 10.1, 10.2, and now 10.3.  This may cause some
small problems, but overall it works extremely well.  I did do a new
install at work when I upgraded from 9.3 to 10.2, since all the smaller
changes that went from version to version are harder to deal with in
such a big change in so many packages and in so many core areas.  I do
not mind the challenges brought by an upgrade, and my experiences since
6.4 have definitely not convinced me SUSE's upgrade path is
inconvenient, but the opposite.  But, like in most things, we all have
our own personal opinions.  Remember to have a lot of fun!

[opensuse] Printing Strangeness.

2007-10-26 Thread G T Smith
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

In the last couple of weeks I have been experiencing some odd printing
behaviour...

The primary symptom is a degree of confusion in page layout. In Firefox
normal output is mangled landscape, but landscape is off centre
portrait.. xemacs pretty printing now does something rather similar. BTW
originally had to be bit careful about page setup with xemacs but
configuration which did work no longer does.

The basic setup is networked Cups to a raw queue with 10.2...

The problem started with Firefox..., but has since effected xemacs.. and
possibly openOffice in certain contexts.

Situation now is that both Konqueror and Kate print OK, so I am using
those as required... But the openOffice development is a bit more
difficult to work with...

I do not print that frequently so I have no idea when the problem got
introduced, but if anyone knows of any changes to the print sub systems
which could give me a starting point to fix this ...

  -Is it also possible to skip a release when updating? e.g. is it

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

 I did 9.3 -- 10.2, no problems. Not unexpected problems, at least.

  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.
 adding to this one.. generally a clean install also has the benefit of 
cleaning out old programs, folders and files that may have been 
something you *thought about* installing, and then didn't.

Or you did install said program, but for various reasons decided against 
keeping it and the uninstall of said program isn't complete. By which I 
mean, perhaps some  files or folders are not in standard locations so 
when you delete the folder and files, or use whatever uninstall system 
you normally use, all the bits aren't always cleanly removed. 

This can happen when there is a new consensus coming together in the 
Linux community, about exactly where various bits and pieces of code 
are to be placed so ( in our case ) *Suse* and in general Distro X , 
also,  knows where to look for it. 

It sometimes happened in the past when there was a disagreement as to 
the exact ( preferred )  location of files or folders should be. *But* 
if you are installing something that you got , for instance, directly 
from the primary programmer. (i.e. Usually the latest and greatest 
multimedia files are ones you may find work better than what was in the 
current release.Perhaps only the newest Alsa, or Jack, or Amarok 
or  actually recognizes your sound card or chip, it happens 
shrug) This problem seems to have resolved itself ... for 
now   ;-) 

As you can see , you can have a lot of files or folders lying about your 
system that may NOT cause problems, but waste space.. and Just might 
cause odd problems in the future. A clean install gets rid of all the 
*chit* and makes things tidy. And you recover space on your drives you 
weren't even aware you were missing. This might be really important on 
a laptop. 


 I'm an exception: I always upgrade. I have done so since 5.3. If it
 hoses (it did once, 7.3 -- 8.1), there is the backup and retry or
 clean install.

 My advice is to do a full backup before either upgrading or instaling
 new version fresh.
 Oh boy ,Carlos is so right on the money here.  I agree, and more, 
suggest you don't skimp on this backup. Put in items, files, you 
might not do in a normal backup.. like, for instance, some of your 
config files. The ones  in the  /etc directory , as those are your 
system wide settings. 

That way you will have a copy you can SEE to compare to the *new* one , 
should there be some sort of odd config problem. You *could* just print 
them.. but that's a lot of paper!  Be certain , whatever route you go, 
that you have a clean copy of your /etc/X11/XF86Config  file  ( and 
perhaps print a copy as well )  the  /etc/X11/xorg.conf for good 
measure. 

Just in case... perhaps ,the next nvidia-xconfig makes a dogs dinner of 
things.. or your power goes down in the middle of installing the 
drivers for your monitor and video card.. or chips Dastardly things can 
happen.

In fact I would make sure I had a printed copy of any item that has 
given me trouble in the past.. be certain you note changes especially. 
If you also have a clean copy of these files, you can always use your 
init 3 login and just rename the one that isn't working and then copy 
your old one into that location.( assuming, for instance you *do* have 
the nvidia driver installed !! 

Obviously if it isn't installed and you copy a config file that is 
looking for nvidia drivers, you will most likely not get a display. You 
are going to be really unhappy at that. ;) however, if it's just 
something weird in the way the file got written, or it wasn't 
completely done.. replacing the bolloxed on w/ a prior config file that 
worked will allow you get back to a desktop and presumably if getting a 
display is your main problem, you can send email shout out for 
help..  :)

Chances are you won't need it, and it's even less likely that anything 
can go as radically wrong as some of us have had in the past. Usually 
w/ a box which isn't a critical use box.. so if it's down , or needs 
care, or a kick in the backside.. we can make it obey.  As you can see, 
many old hands ( relatively speaking in computer usage terms, Linux 
user terms ) are opting for an upgrade, even when it's more than one 
level upgrade.. 

But as you say you

The reason people say install Windows first is because it doesn't play
nice.  You can count on it clobbering grub.  Also, when you install
Linux after Windows, it will find the Windows install, add it to grub
and mount the Windows partitions, if you wish.

Re: [opensuse] Installing windows last

Adding to this message, even if you have the original Suse CD, as long 
as it's 10.1 or so, there is an option after the initial boot up from CD 
that allows you to check your system, there in an option in there to 
check grub and the system repairs it, only gotcha is that recreates the 
menu.lst accordingly to the original and then if you had more than one 
configuration it would erase, so make a backup of your menu.lst before 
you go ahead with this.

 Would be possible to attach the problematic template there?
 
 

No problem...

Submitted as 337041...

Did do a little further investigating and found that storeToURL caused
similar problem...

On the other issues I found the situation is bit inconsistent, some
files that I had problem with on 2.0.x and cifs that got fixed after
some samba tweaks, now no longer work, but not all of them. Does not
seem to be any pattern to this...

I have also found something new... I can print envelopes if I just
select the envelope pages, but as a part a large document page format
goes strange. However, I am experiencing a similar problem across a
range of applications... so I am not sure what is responsible..

 I can't seem to open a spreadsheet in OpenOffice. I try and make a new file,

Hi!
Starting from 2.3.x, opensuse (or ooffice.org?) splits OpenOffice into a
bunch of rpms. If you install OpenOffice.org, you only have the common base,
and one of the less important products.

Search for openoffice in the package mangement, and install all that appear

Hope this helps,

 Mark for deinstallation is trash can.

 Checkmark is for installation.
 Wrong direction traffic sign is to tell YaST not to touch package.

Yea, I knew that part ;) That's why I thought it was strange. They had some in 
there that were locked and I was like OK that's odd, I unlocked them, and 
tried to delete them with the method you said above, which was why I sent a 
message here because it just wouldn't do that, I thought it was odd and was 
thinking maybe I was just to tired and screwed up, I am after all human heh.

But yea, I will tell them to delete and it shows the trash can but once I have 
the ones I want trash canned, and finish, it says it's installing them

I thought it was odd.

 It might be a dependency.

 One of the options shows you what it is finally going to install/unistall.
 You should also click the button check dependencies.

 If it fails, then use the comandline rpm --erase --force ...rpm - I
 think with those options, if not, 'man' is your friend. Trye first without
 force to see why it complains.

Thanks man, I'll give it another shot. SUSE and Slackware are my two absolute 
fav distros so I'm not calling it quits over this, I love them both and use 
both and ONLY those.

They do what I need and more. So if it fails again I'll give those commands a 
shot.

I used to be the one helping others on here back when it was 9.0 and 10.0 and 
now I've been so busy I've started getting rusty with UNIX lol.

Reason is, well, I got Married, and I'm moving back and forth between two 
countries right now, so it's taken some of my time away that I normally had 
to mess around on machines and I only have my laptop right now as my desktops 
are currently in another country so I had no way to set up another machine to 
test on.

Anyway though, thank you very much, and I'll give it another go and see if 
it's a dependency thing. If so I'll check what needs it and if I don't need 
those apps I'll take them all out.

when I added the repos I found them and added them into YAST2 and kept the 
ones that are there by default as I wanted the patches from OpenSUSE and just 
wanted to option of adding third party stuff from the others, so I added 
those in and added some new software to give it a shot, and that's pretty 
much how all this started up. 

Man this turned out to be longer than I intended, heh sorry. Anyway, thanks 
much and I'll give those a shot and make sure I save these emails so I can 
check the commands later on, we have to leave in a sec, going out for

[opensuse] Suspend to swap replacement on 10.3 for Thinkpad T41

2007-10-26 Thread Jeffrey L. Taylor
I installed the 10.3 KDE one CD version over 10.0.  Fn+f4 used to suspend to
swap.  That now does nothing.  I can do suspend to swap from the display
manager, KDM, but I need a way to do while logged in.  pm-suspend looks like a
low power state.  I need a no power state.  Looking at the syslog it looks
like KDM is invoking swsusp, but there is no executable with that name in the
path and locate finds nothing with that name.  Suggestions?  Pointers to info?

TIA,

I would expect it to show me all the windows of the current viewport, not just

 See also: http://en.opensuse.org/Compiz_Fusion#Alt.2BF2_Does_not_work_in_KDE

the libcompizconfig-backend-kconfig is installed (version 0.6.0-1.1 X86_64)

I found this snippet:
Alt+F2 Does not work in KDE

* To start a run dialog in KDE add to ccsm - General Options - 
Commands - Command line 0 - dcop kdesktop KDesktopIface popupExecuteCommand 
and associate this with execute command binding to ALT+F2 in Actions tab. 
It works ONLY AFTER deleting the ALT+F2 association for Execute Run dialog 
field 

So, I go to ccsm and find the Commands tab.  I enter  dcop kdesktop 
KDesktopIface popupExecuteCommand in textEdit box for Command line 0 in 
the Commands tab.
The Associate this with 'execute command binding' to ALT+F2 is confusing.  I 
find the Actions tab, and under Commands, I see run command 0, so this is 
what I set to altF2.  Under General I find the Run Dialog set to ALT-F2, 
and disabled it.  I couldn't find a way to delete it.  And I still can't get 
the run dialog.  Isn't the Run Dialog set to ALT-F2 supposed to work?

ALT-F9 for minimize works, ALT-Space works, why not alt-F1 for main menu or 
alt-F2?  The above directions (as best as I could understand) didn't make it 
work either.


 
 
  Plugins:
  -Water Effect doesn't toggle off all the way.  CPU stays at 88% used, even
  though no water is shown.  Have to disable plugin to get CPU back
  -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.
 
 Check http://wiki.compiz-fusion.org/ if there is details of proper usage.

I don't know what 'proper' usage would be.   Don't move is pretty straight 
forward, it shouldn't move.  But, there are some instances where this gets 
overridden, like when you use the mouse on upper right corner to switch 
windows.

SHIFT-F9 to toggle is also straight forward, press it once, see the water.  
Press it again, water stops, (but CPU still doing something, until you 
disable to plugin).

Window placement is also pretty straight forward.  Enter the same identifier 
for the the window that the no move rule works with to identify the window 
for placement.  I would think that any other placement aside from what I 
entered means that it didn't listen to what I entered.

 
  Compiz:
  -With Water effects going, cube fish, cube gears, yast_update, and
  ctrlaltbutton1 moving of cube around, system will freeze (xgl, can 
still
  get to VC1 and init 3/5)   (stress test)
 
 Of course it will freeze, water itself is very resource hungry.

So it is supposed to freeze?  (e.g.  won't come back when finished?)

I don't think this is by design.  Shouldn't get in a race state.  I can switch 
to VC and get my CPU back.  I let it sit for hours, to see if it would 
eventually finish as if things were 'queued', but when things got busy, it 
never did recover.  It shouldn't freeze.  chunk - ok.  get slow - ok.  drop 
frames - ok.  give error message - ok.  just freeze, until init 3 / 5, NOT 
ok.
 
  -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
 
 Known issue, try checking ccsm - general - Unredirect full screen

known issue?  good enough.  I know this is development.  I'm happy to 
use/test.  It isn't a show stopper.  This is already better than anything 
else I've ever used.  Not complaining one bit.  Trying to help.  (with what 
little time I have)

  -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
  0
 
 
 ccsm - move - constraint Y
Wonderful!  This was it.  I found a few other 'settings' that were in ccsm 
that I just didn't expect, but wasn't a bug.  Just different from default.  
Like the alt-button3 for resize.  No biggie.   Thanks for the info.  worked 
like a charm.



Thank you for your work.

 I have strange situation. The whole story is quite long, but briefly -
 bank site works correctly in Firefox under MS Windows and in Mozilla
 version of FF under openSUSE, but does not work  in openSUSE version

...

 What happens is that the account page has upper line with clickable
 icons and account data and also some notebook type menu with
 clickable lines.

 When it works (MS Windows and Mozilla version of FF), the page is rendered 
 once.
 Under openSUSE FF the page is initially drawn correctly, but after
 some delay it is re-drawn and this time it is distorted (no account
 data) and icons and tabs becomes not clickable (cursor shape is not
 changed on these items also).
 I can say for sure that it did not work in openSUSE FF 2.0.0.5 and
 does not work in 2.0.0.8 (latest).

I compared page source code in working case (under Mozilla FF) and in
bad case (SUSE FF) and to  my surprise found out that when the page is
opened under Mozila FF, it contains reference to ieEmu.js while in
SUSE FF this script is not used.
I guess ieEmu is emulation of Internet Explorer.
So it looks like somehow SUSE version of FF identifies itself
differently and site does not handle it as FF.

I've checked that SUSE version has additional useragent fields: vendor
and vendorSub. Could they cause such a behavior?

I'm not sure what you mean by 'search' as it could mean many things.
Could you explain more indepth on that one?

As for installing an rpm package, simply type 'rpm -i (filename.rpm)'

Conversely, to uninstall, you would type 'rpm -e (packagename)' -- not
the installed file name.

[opensuse] kstartupconfig

2007-10-26 Thread M. Todd Smith

hey gang,

I've been plagued by this error for a while on our network.

When a user tries to login they get:

(1) Could not start kstartupconfig. Check your installation

Followed closely by:

(2) Could not start kdeinit.   Check your installation

Under the condition that the home directories aren't mounted users  
will always get message (1).  Both messages appear in some unknown  
condition.


This is usually fixed by having the user login using a different  
window manager than KDE and then switching back to KDE.  However that  
hasn't brought me any closer to the root cause of the problem.  In  
most cases this is something I have had to do once per user.   After  
moving our user directories to a new filesystem our users are  
constantly having this issue and have to switch window managers after  
each reboot.


If anyone can offer even a glimpse I can probably shake a solution out.

Cheers
Todd

[opensuse] Re: [RESOLVED] Site does not work in openSUSE version of Firefox but OK in Mozilla version?

 Hi,

  I have strange situation. The whole story is quite long, but briefly -
  bank site works correctly in Firefox under MS Windows and in Mozilla
  version of FF under openSUSE, but does not work  in openSUSE version
  of FF.
 ...

  What happens is that the account page has upper line with clickable
  icons and account data and also some notebook type menu with
  clickable lines.
 
  When it works (MS Windows and Mozilla version of FF), the page is rendered 
  once.
  Under openSUSE FF the page is initially drawn correctly, but after
  some delay it is re-drawn and this time it is distorted (no account
  data) and icons and tabs becomes not clickable (cursor shape is not
  changed on these items also).
  I can say for sure that it did not work in openSUSE FF 2.0.0.5 and
  does not work in 2.0.0.8 (latest).

 I compared page source code in working case (under Mozilla FF) and in
 bad case (SUSE FF) and to  my surprise found out that when the page is
 opened under Mozila FF, it contains reference to ieEmu.js while in
 SUSE FF this script is not used.
 I guess ieEmu is emulation of Internet Explorer.
 So it looks like somehow SUSE version of FF identifies itself
 differently and site does not handle it as FF.

 I've checked that SUSE version has additional useragent fields: vendor
 and vendorSub. Could they cause such a behavior?


Strange as it is, bank site probably uses these strings to identify
the client browser.
After adding these 2 fields to Mozilla FF, it stopped working.
I then removed them from SUSE FF (by editing firefox-novell.js) and
got the site working correctly in SUSE browser.
I hope, removing of these variables does not break anything?

 Do you mean he can boot  his partition from a USB key ?
 I will google this and have an look see.
 Thanks for the heads up on this one.

Clive,

what is the problem with my explanation? 
Since 10.2 openSUSE is using generic bootloader that will boot any partition 
marked bootable independent of installed operating system. 
 
Install grub in boot sector of openSUSE partition and using console program 
cfdisk make it active, it is called 'bootable' in cfdisk. 
MBR of hard disk will stay as is. 
Limitation to this is that bootable can be only primary partition, not logical 
as generic bootloader is looking in partition table that has only 4 entries 
for primary partitions. 

YaST Partitioner for now lacks ability to change bootable/active flag so you 
have to use external program (cfdisk) to change it. 

If your friend decide not to use Linux all you have to do is to boot in 
openSUSE and run cfdisk again and mark windows partition as bootable and 
openSUSE will disappear, while it will be possible to boot it from CD or USB 
stick.

 But yea, I will tell them to delete and it shows the trash can but once I

 I thought it was odd.

You can see where the package is comming from. 
Sometimes there are errors in package that make dependency resolver running in 
circles, unable to resolve problem. If that is external repository than you 
can disable repository and ask YaST to update package. That will install 
original openSUSE version without errors. 

Second that can make problem is dependency to other packages, but then after 
Accept you should see window that pops up with messages about dependency 
problems. 

It will be good if you post what package and what repository it is comming 
from.

Re: [opensuse] No space left (but there is some!!)

2007-10-26 Thread Ciro Iriarte
2007/10/24, Jeff Mahoney [EMAIL PROTECTED]:

 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.

 Thanks.

Re: [opensuse] Installing windows last

2007-10-26 Thread Felix Miata
On 2007/10/26 03:14 (GMT-0700) Jake Conk apparently typed:

 I have  openSUSE setup right now on my machine that has 2 mirrored
 80gb disks. I just got another disk 80gb disk but I would like to
 install windows on it. My question is, is it possible to install
 windows on that new disk without it taking off my grub? I know most
 multiboot setups that include windows always say install windows first
 then install linux so it can auto detect your windows partition and
 setup grub accordingly but in my case I already have linux setup and
 want to install windows while keeping suse's grub menu. Is this
 possible and how?

As http://mrmazda.no-ip.com/install-doz-after.html explains, installing doz
afterwards is no big deal - in the usual case. However, due to your mirroring
situation, there may possibly be complicating issues.

Fixing Grub is not a big deal. Grub has multiple components, only one of
which might live in the MBR, the only place where doz will disrupt it.
Putting it back when it happens does not require changes to Grub's boot
configuration file that lives on your SUSE partitioning, though you may wish
to do that to facilitate your multiboot.

The biggest thing to be sure of, which should not be an issue when installing
on an empty HD, is that doz does not change any partitioning on your existing
disks, as that could make a quite complicated repair necessary.

The easiest thing for you to do is probably to disable the current HDs in the
PC BIOS, which will make the doz installer think it's installing to the only
disk in the system. After you're done you can reenable them and then modify
Grub to add doz as a menu option. If your BIOS makes that difficult or
impossible to do, you may be able to accomplish the same thing by decabling
the disks you don't wish the doz installer to see, depending on the device
names associated with the new and existing disks, and whether they're using
normal jumpering or cable select mode.

 How do I update my system using zypper? '# zypper update' yields

 Ok learned that '# zypper update -t package' upgrades the entire system :).
 Unfortunately I immediately run into trouble, anyone know how I should fix
 this?

 2 Problems:
 Problem: No valid solution found with just resolvables of best
 architecture. Problem: Cannot install wesnoth-data-base, because it is
 conflicting with wesnoth-data

 Problem: No valid solution found with just resolvables of best
 architecture. With this run only resolvables with the best architecture
 have been regarded. Regarding all possible resolvables takes time, but can
 come to a valid result. Solution 1: Make a solver run with ALL
 possibilities.
   Regarding all resolvables with a compatible architecture.

  I have just done a 10.1 to 10.3 upgrade with hardly any problems.

 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.
On my Suse 10.1 installation I used ndiswrapper to run my wireless card which 
was  a Belkin (Broadcom Air Force One) wireless card (which 10.2 and 10.3 
both recognise) but then Yast tells me that I have to add some software to 
get it to work. 
Fine. Tried bcm43xx-fwcutter which fails because apparently it doesn't find a 
matching serial number in my bcmwl5.sys recovered from Belkin CD.
 I can't remember the exact train of events but somehow it finally dawned on 
me that before I could use ndiswrapper, I needed to remove the bcm43xx 
modulefrom the kernel. Once I had removed that with modprobe -r, the 
installation of ndiswrapper and setup of my wireless card went just as easily 
as setting it up in 10.1 (I have used 10.2 but I just didn't like it for some 
reason that now escapes me).

I also had a problem with one of the Java 1.5 files that Yast refused to 
upgrade because it insisted the file wasn't  there. In the end after seeing 
advice elsewhere (I think on this list), I downloaded the installer from Sun 
Microsystems web site and loaded it in that way. Subsequently my Java is 
thoroughly well behaved.  The original error here may have been cockpit error 
in what I told Yast to do to resolve dependencies so I can'y say whether this 
was a bug or not.

Re: [opensuse] Installing windows last

Hello,

I have  openSUSE setup right now on my machine that has 2 mirrored
80gb disks. I just got another disk 80gb disk but I would like to
install windows on it. My question is, is it possible to install
windows on that new disk without it taking off my grub? I know most
multiboot setups that include windows always say install windows first
then install linux so it can auto detect your windows partition and
setup grub accordingly but in my case I already have linux setup and
want to install windows while keeping suse's grub menu. Is this
possible and how?


If you install Windows, it will GLEEFULLY overwrite your MBR,
forcing you to repair your Linux install.

Just partition your disk first with the SuSe install disk,
then install Windows, and lastly, Install Linux.

 While the above figures give you a ball-park figure for what wattage
 your PSU should be able to handle, it then becomes a matter of ensuring
 that you get a PSU which *will* be able to 'deliver' because many PSUs
 (including expensive ones) claim one thing but simply do not 'deliver'
 when it comes to the crunch.
 
 Just to back up Basil's comments... I had loads of odd and unsolvable
 problems with peripheral devices (like printers), and randomly failing
 hard drives (that worked fine when put into a second test machine).
 Very frustrating problems that I knew should not be a problem, or
 should be easily solved.
 
 I ended up replacing the PSU with a BeQuiet 600W
 (http://www.be-quiet.net), and that cleared it all up.  The computer
 has been rock solid stable ever since.  Now the only issues I have are
 all the ones I create by tinkering.
 
 C.

Frank,

Let me second Clayton's remarks.

I had a mandrival server that I swore had a corrupt kernel or was
possessed by the devil. It ran beautifully for almost a year. Then over
the course of several months it randomly began locking up more
frequently. Sometimes with kernel errors spewed all over the console,
sometimes with drive errors, and sometimes for reasons only it knew of.
After testing everything but the psu (because it was Antec, and older
Antecs were all bulletproof) I decided to blindly change the psu.

As replacement PSU from a price/performace stand point, I have always
liked the Thermaltake W0100RU 500W RT. Usually runs about $60 US and
will easily support a modern CPU, 4 large drive, dvd, video, and
everything else I use. After installing the new psu, the sever is back
to being rock solid again.

As for service/price/RMA response/etc I have always like newegg. (No I
don't work for or endorse anyone, I just know who I have dealt with in
the past and which vendors were honest)

May not be your problem, but I hope that helps.

   What is it that causes mount.ntfs-3g to run at what seems like random

 something like beagle that I can just shoot in the head?

[opensuse] 10.3 and swap question on 4-GB ram

2007-10-26 Thread Robert Lewis
I helped a friend install 10.3 64-bit on his Q6600
machine that has 4-GB of ram yesterday.
Wow was the installation fast.

SUSE setup a 2-GB swap space by default.

We over road that and made it 4-GB.

Is this a bug/oversite or on purpose?
If on purpose what is the logic behind that?

Cheers,
Bob

[opensuse] wlan browse

2007-10-26 Thread jdd

Hello :-)

I'm very new regarding to WLAN...

I try to configure on my brand new laptop acer 9410Z the WLAN card 
Broadcom 94311MCG.


This card is seen by Yast, but I can't make it work.

The problem may be worst because the only network I have as wifi is 
the very same I have as eth gigabit card, so it may conflict?


However I could make the card work in windows...

My router allows me only to have a wep key (no open net available). I 
use an Hex one.


in network manager, I give the ESSID (name) jdd_home, the card is 
seen, I give the key, and the network manager keep asking if I want an 
open system or a shared key (none of the answer works though), than 
searching it fails


isn't a browse capability, where I could see what wifi networks are 
available, at least I could know if this is a hardware problem or a 
software/config one!! (I can do this with my cell phone :-)

Have a look at /etc/sysconfig/powersave, and adjust these variables:


EVENT_BUTTON_POWER=wm_shutdown
EVENT_BUTTON_SLEEP=suspend_to_disk
EVENT_BUTTON_LID_OPEN=ignore
EVENT_BUTTON_LID_CLOSED=screen_saver

There is a yast module for that, powermanagement.
