[opensuse] I wish I would get YAST (back) for Christmas

[Matt T.]

See my original post below - YAST & YOU all GUIs, incl. ncurses are gone - in 
the meantime I see no other way than to reinstall, if Santa Claus does not 
point me in the right direction to solve this:

-  Original Message from Matt T.  Saturday 08 December 2007  --

Subject: [opensuse] Yast shows "Error while creating client module ..." after 
YOU yesterday
Date: Saturday 08 December 2007
From: "Matt T." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
To: opensuse@opensuse.org

Yesterday I did run an almost full YOU (OpenSuse 10.3 x86_64), accepting all 
preselected updates, including the kernel update (2.6.22.13-0.3-default). 
After that yast only starts the first window, the menu, listing the modules 
available. Clicking on one of them results in a little pop up window 
saying "Error while creating client module online_update" etc, for any 
module.

The same happens if I try to run the modules directly in konsole:

# you
Error while creating client module online_update
# /sbin/yast2 online_update
Error while creating client module online_update
# /sbin/yast2 sw_single
Error while creating client module sw_single

(No, this time there is not any message about "Error loading language plugin" 
(btdt). But to be sure here is what is installed:
# rpm -q boost libzypp zypper
boost-1.33.1-108
libzypp-4.1.1-5
zypper-0.9.1-7
)

I remember that there was a yast update in the security updates, but not which 
one (and I cannot run it again ... see above)

In order to fix it I used smart to update all yast2 modules with 



# smart upgrade 'yast2*'

After that all modules have been version 2.15.x

Still no luck, then I realized that yast itself was 2.16 (yast2-2.16.1-6) so I 
downgraded it to yast2-2.15.58-12.x86_64.rpm

but still the same error.

I searched the list up and down, and also google does not help, so now I'm 
stuck and could use some help.

Thanks,
Matt

sqldeveloper from oracle, dbvis (google it).

You'll need to find and install the java mysql code, usually called
mysql-connector-java-X.X.X.tar.gz for either of the above.

sqldeveloper seems more powerful generally, but dbvis has a nifty
graph view based on foreign keys. Nice to see what depends on what.

I've run into this one before.

There's a wiki page on a related problem:

http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:CD_not_found_problem

Mind, the insmod suggestions there did not work for me,
even with an SATA DVD drive. However, swapping the 
disk connectors around so that the DVD drive was in slot 1.

You might try that if all else fails.

Success, but only for several minutes ==> Re: [opensuse] problems on setting wireless USB (D-Link) DWL-G122-revC

I'll start it over with the installation, so there's no ndiswrapper
module loaded and i got a clear and fresh install. Since some one told
me his success setting the same device, i compiled the rt73 driver (i
used the daily CVS
http://rt2×00.serialmonkey.com/rt73-cvs-daily.tar.gz), set it up with
knetworkmanager and finally got the device worked.

I don't know why, suddenly i went off line, the "act" led went off
(the link is still on without blinking). I tried to restart the
network service it stuck, the restarting process got hang. And so does
the KDE applet (knetworkmanager).

I re-pluged the device it went back normal but only for a few minutes.
I tried to configure the network using traditional ifup (using YAST),
I still get the same problem, it only allow me to online for several
minutes.

What should i check? Did i install the incorrect driver? Any idea what
happened? One more thing, When i compiled the driver, the device was
plugged (I forgot to unplug it). Is this mean something?

Thanks,

Adinda P

704x576 also should be work, but I'm not sure which one is the most
PSP supports, I just used 352x288 in my mp4 player before.

You know, I was going to go that route.

However, I have no clue what to do. I see there's an option for something like 
a crypto, but I've yet to find anything on google as to how.

Say I have a 75GB home partition that I want to encrypt and want EXT3, what do 
I choose?

I have a GeForce 7300-based card and applied this update, too. When the 
update tray applet notifies me of available updates, I always run YaST 
and use the Online Update module rather than install via the tray 
applet.

Immediately after installing the new driver packages (there were two), 
glxgears bombed, but I assumed that was library mismatch. I logged out 
(in order to effect a restart of the X server and the whole X 
subsystem). It seemed to take a long time to get the NVIDIA driver 
screen (which made me nervous), but it eventually showed up and I've 
had not problems since then.

The only programs I use with regularity that use 3D are Google Earth and 
Second Life. Both of these seem to work fine. Glxgears works, too, of 
course. Occasionally I run Celestia or Stellarium, but I haven't ran 
since the driver update. I just gave them a quick launch just now, and 
they, too, seem to work OK.

not.)

[opensuse] After nvidia update I could longer load nvidia drivers

[Roger Dedrick]

I expected to someone else post a message about this but maybe I am 
alone with this problem? 

I had been running 10.3 with a GeForce 7300GT video card with great 
success. A few days ago the updater applet included updated nvidia 
drivers in the list of available updates.After the update compiz started 
acting weird. I tried to restart the xserver but could not get it to 
start. I reset the video with Yast. I tried re installing the one click 
nvidia drivers but if I run the commands to run Compiz the xserver would 
run.


So after a lot of reading a looking around realizing I am in over my 
head in understanding this and thinking maybe there is some baggage 
causing trouble and I would be further ahead (at least time wise) to do 
a clean install  since my home is on another partition.  That done I was 
in the same boat unable to get the drivers working and with a slow 
desktop and unable to run a few programs without the 3D.


I looked around the nvidia site and found drivers dated from Sept. To 
install them I found that had to install the source files for the kernel 
first. Now all is well again running on the I assume an older kernel. So 
I guess this message is a heads up to anyone about to pull the trigger 
on that particular update. When I a started to write it I had not got 
things working yet.But I am still wondering what the heck happened  here.

Thanks, everyone, for your help.  It's working fine now. 

I discovered the official SuSE documentation and read through it, then
used YaST to set up the configuration.  I'm not going to say what the
documentation told me to do after clicking [Finish], because some here
will assure me that it's not necessary, and I'd be a fool to do it. 
(Anyone having problems with this can read it for themselves.)

Suffice it to say that I did what the documentation told me to do, and
everything is now working fine.

I also have compiz-fusion-kde-0.6.2-3.1 installed. Not sure if it adds
the menu entry or not. rpm reports that it contains no files. I'm not a

[opensuse] Kplayer Freezing

[Dave Barton]

Kplayer has suddenly stopped working for me. If I start it from a
terminal window it opens and freezes with the following error:

ASSERT: "!name.isEmpty()" in ./kio/kio/kdirlister.cpp (969)

Can anyone offer a suggestion as to a possible cause or solution?

Thanks. Rekall seems to fit the bill, and is easy to set up. I'd previously
tried OOo Base, but it seemed to want to recreate the database in .odb
format, whereas Rekall is using the same MySQL tables, so I can administer
the database from the command line or through the Rekall GUI. Knoda seemed to
have the same problem as Base.

Thanks to everyone for all the other suggestions.


OOo should be able to connect to an existing database, although setting up 
OOo to use mysql (or any other engine) is far from trivial.


Knoda I haven't been lucky using it. In previous versions it crashed or

Rekall has a fast and very easy to use interface, either for database

It will show up in the dropdown box if

a) compiz is installed
b) GL is enabled
c) GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is present

c) is the tricky one. The nvidia driver supports it, and I'm told the ATI 
driver does too, but only if you have a very new card. Otherwise you'll have 
to run Xgl

Can't say this is the right way but it works for me.

Kmenu-->System-->More Programs-->Compiz Fusion Icon

After the icon is in the system tray it just starts working. If I want
to disable it I click on quit  after a right click on the icon and log
off and back on. Currently need to disable it if I want to use Google

[opensuse] Compiz or not

According to one of my books that's specific to SuSE 10.3, I've done all
that's necessary to enable Xgl and Compiz, and the Gnome desktop effects
module confirms that my graphics card is suitable, that 3-D is enabled. 

In KDE, I'm able to run the configuration tool, and it appears to be
working.  However, I can't get a Compiz session started.  When I go to
the appropriate place in personal settings to choose a session manager,
only kwin appears, in a combo box that is grayed and disabled.

Is there some extra step that's commonly overlooked, that makes Compiz

That's going to result in very bad quality video. FFmpeg takes those in
bits per second, unlike mencoder which would assume you meant Kbps.

>The -acodec and -vcodec can directly use the library for audio and

The FFmpeg FAQ[0] gives a bit of couple of example command lines:

ffmpeg -i input \
 -acodec libfaac -ab 128kb \
 -vcodec mpeg4 -b 1200kb \
 -ar 24000 -mbd 2 -flags +4mv+trell \
 -aic 2 -cmp 2 -subcmp 2 -s 368x192 \
 -r 3/1001 -title X \
 -f psp output.mp4

ffmpeg -i input \
 -acodec libfaac  -ab 128kb \
 -vcodec h264 -b 1200kb \
 -ar 48000 -mbd 2 \
 -coder 1 -cmp 2 -subcmp 2 \
 -s 368x192 -r 3/1001 \
 -title X -f psp \
 -flags loop -trellis 2 \
 -partitions parti4x4+parti8x8+partp4x4+partp8x8+partb8x8 \
 output.mp4

As to which one will give the better quality, I have no idea.

It would be interesting to see what kind of complains you can see. 

I can avoid Packman etc, because I have no much interest in additional 
software they offer, so I have no much chance to have problems with 
dependencies pulled from external repositories, but for those that want, or 
need it, it is better to use manual updates via YaST Online Updates (YOU) and 
check every item before download. This way is possible to see what is 
updated, which helps when it comes to problems.

The gpg problem affects Smart too, as it uses rpm package manager that needs 
gpg ;-)

This is from recent Coolo's mail to factory mail list:

Is 352x288 the most the PSP supports?  I have tried it on a short video that I 
have and it works but the video is originally 720x480 and when viewing the 
newly created mp4 video it looks squeezed to me.

Hi Dave,

11.0 Alpha 0 is development (experimental) version for experienced users.
It should be updated from Factory repositories only. 

The package management in Factory was (as of yesterday) broken. It was problem 
with gpg package, so YaST was unable to verify repository signature and add 
it to the list.

Hans,

Follow this link.  I used it to get my RaLink PCI (rt6100) working in my 
desktop.  Maybe it could help with your
pcmcia card.

http://linux.wordpress.com/2007/10/06/opensuse-103-and-ralink-rt2x00-based-wireless-cards/

It is specific for SuSE 10.3 as their native rtpci would not work, no how, no 
way!

ahh, new applications - that is very nice.

Actually another post clued me in. Turns out there is a seperate

Thanks. Rekall seems to fit the bill, and is easy to set up. I'd previously 
tried OOo Base, but it seemed to want to recreate the database in .odb 
format, whereas Rekall is using the same MySQL tables, so I can administer 
the database from the command line or through the Rekall GUI. Knoda seemed to 
have the same problem as Base.

Thanks to everyone for all the other suggestions.

Happy New Year :)

Thanks for your help, it looks like a smart package manager. Its maybe a
little too smart, it only wants to add the oss and non-oss factory
repositories, I assume because my system calls itself 11.0 alpha or
because thats where I got it. I am using the gui version and it did the
update automatically. When I select hide installed packages, there is
nothing to see. I tried adding my local rpm dir and it won't stop asking
for keys anyway  I jammed the enter key and changed to focus under mouse
and it's reached 99% after a while. At last I have a package list, now
lets try to hide installed. Yes at last I've got some packages I can
install. Now the big test is install poppler (poppler is a no no on my
system as it has some issue with kdegraphics. Perfect it tells me to
remove xpdf-tools, kdebase, kdegraphics and every thing kerry or beagle.
OK it looks good, thanks for forcing me to make an extra effort.
seasons compliments
Dave

Use the YaST software installation module, and it will list the files
that are part of a package, and where they are placed on your system.
Some of them display in bold type -- I'm guessing those are the executables.


Only after they are installed.

Or, you can use "pin", which will show them "before" and "after".

Welcome!

You will see soon that you can't be without Midnight Comander ;-)

You can see inside an rpm and extract or view a single file, you can 
compress trees into tar.gz archives, connect to a remote ftp server, edit 
a file (sometimes with syntax coloring), copy or move or delete bunch of 
files /fast/, search for a pattern on a tree, selecting the files that 
match for more processing... and many more I forget.

If you get the package "smart-latest.rpm" it will automatically contain
ALL the desirable repos, particularly packman and guru. A link I give
below will tell how. That will solve the big show-stopper for you :-)

The way to solve the second show-stopper is from the smart-faq:
"How do I keep the downloaded files after installation?
You can do this once by using "smart -o remove-packages=false ", or set this as a permanent option using  "smart config --set
remove-packages=false"." 

Work from cli first and after installing smart run "$ smart update" and
it will prompt you one-by-one to enable all those repos. Getting that
correct install file ("smart-latest.rpm") is the key to avoid adding
repos by hand. Then add the "smart-gui" package if you prefer the gui
approach. I chop and change according to need.

The first time you run "smart update" from the cli and download even one
package it will create that directory "/var/lib/smart/packages" (NOTE: I
typed that path wrong first posting).

Sounds to me like you need to do some reading :-) Sooo ... 

Try these links - especially this first one as most important:
http://susewiki.org/index.php?title=SMART_Package_Manager  

and for smart documentation either "man smart" or -
http://labix.org/smart/faq

Following ALL those steps will get you humming along with the best
package (meta)manager around! ;-)

Gavin
