[opensuse-factory] USB and udev process
Hey Group; I am not sure if this is the correct pkace to ask this question. I have a USB storage camera which works great if enabled at boot time. Once booted and confirmed it is mounted. ls -l /dev/sdd1 shows correctly. Unmount it and unplug/re plug the USB cable, it the connect pc button. At that point USB finds it hwinfo finds it. But ls -l /dev/sd* fails to find anything. /var/log/messages offers information. If someone can help resolve this problem I can email the small file ( 2592 ).

Hi, download subversion-1.5.0-29.(i586 | x86_64).rpm (yes, it's the same build number as your installed package!) and install it with rpm -U --force. That's _not_ a joke. The package in factory has the same build number as the installed one, so factory update doesn't install the current one. But the date of the build in factory is newer. Guess, buildnumber wasn't incremented as the package was built against glibc 2.7. thanks alot this does indeed fix the issue.

[opensuse] Support for NIC RTL8168 Graphic Adapter Intel G33 (Compiz-Fusion)?
Hi, I'm thinking of getting a new CPU with the Gigabyte motherboard. But I'm concerned that the built-in graphics adapter and NIC cannot be recognised by 10.3. The adapter in question here is Intel G33 and the NIC is RTL8168. I've tried the Live CD - GNOME and basic Compiz can run on it. I'm just worried that Compiz-Fusion can't run on it. Does having Compiz run successfully mean that Compiz-Fusion can run as well? And, no, I can't do without Compiz-Fusion - I'm a sucker for desktop eye candy =P As for the NIC, the GNOME Live CD is unable to use it. Meaning that the Network Manager is able to detect the type of card but says that it is not connected. It even knows the MAC address. And it is using the r8169 module for the NIC. And the sound device is not recognised. I'm testing this on the GA-G31M-S2L motherboard. Unfortunately I can't install the full version of 10.3 on it to test it out. Does anyone here have any experience with the aforementioned hardware? Thanks in advance! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Due more to good luck than anything, last night I found a simple reference, in a message in the Sun's OpenOffice 'help' forum, which provided me with the information to get OO to print. As you suggest in your response, for which I am grateful, it ALL has to do with outputting the document to a pdf file and then printing that. Hmmm. I've never had to do anything like that... I wonder if some something changed in a recent revision. I cannot say if anything has, or has not, changed 'in a recent revision'. All I can say is that in the 'standard' install of 10.2, and now 10.3, I cannot print in OO using the Lexmark 4039Plus laser printer - which prints very well during the Test Print in the OpenSuse printer setup - and prints all documents using the KWrite et alia. The whole process involves trickery worthy of Harry Potter. I used Microsoft Office for years, using the printer I mention in my original post (the Lexmark 4039 plus), and it NEVER even considered not printing at the first attempt. Strange Why 'Strange? Strange because this is the first time I've come across such a thing in 25 years of using Unix and 10 years of using Linux Gosh, you have been miraculously protected from all the nasties for so may years! :-) . In many instances Windows works much better than 'Linux'. If you define much better to mean you have a lot of time to constantly repair things when it auto-destructs part or all of itself. No, I do not define much better in this way. I have used Windows XP since it came on the market and I have not had to repair it for more then, say, a couple of times - and this only because of my own fault. The claim that XP auto-destructs is nothing more than a one-eyed view by Linux zealots, and others, who claim that Windows is crap compared to Linux-based distros. I don't trust Windows, and the apps associated with it, for all the reasons mentioned in this and other forums as well as in magazine articles written by people who know what Windows is all about, but I would not support your statement in what you state in the above quoted paragraph. I find windows to be an absolute pain, both as a user and as an administrator. Windows is certainly a pain in many ways but as a user it doesn't send me into an apoplectic state. That it annoys the heck out of me is true and which is why I switched to a Linux-based distro (SuSe being the obvious choice after trying out most of the other distros over the years). Not being an administrator of a Windows-based system I cannot comment on your experiences with it (as you intimate above) but - to be very realistic - if administrating a Windows setup was so very bad then either nobody would be using Windows or the Windows system administrators are masochists and/or are too stupid to change jobs so as not to work with Windows. Or is it a problem with openSuse? Don't know. I've never had a problem printing from OO on SuSE. Then you are most fortunate. Why is OpenOffice such a bitch about printing? Actually no, that's rather typical for Linux and Unix both. The only systems I've ever been on in which a printer suddenly stopped working or was unavailable from an application has been Windows. Well (and there must be a moral here), I have NEVER has a problem with printing in Windows - even printing using a NETGEAR print server on the computers on my home network. You win some, you lose some, as they say in movies. I'm not saying that your case does not exist...I'm just saying that it's far RARER in Linux than in Windows. If you say so - see above. If you go the OO forum you will find complaints dated 23 January 2008 about not being able to print. The above must be a typo for which I apologise - considering that *today* is 18 January 2008 :-) . OK, so there's a bug in the software, which apparently isn't in the version I'm currently using, and will probably get tracked down very quickly. Have you downloaded the latest build, to see if it works now? I am using the very latest version of OO (on both 10.2 and 10.3), and nothing has changed.

Not sure, but you could allow a user restricted root commands using sudo, instead of suing to root to run a command. Also, if you set the SSH login to accept only a key (with or without passphrase), is it considered secure to allow direct root logins (or rather authentications) using a key only? I would think so, and is probably the best way to run a root required command remotely via ssh, since sudo would give the local user access to those root commands if local, while the key restricted root login would keep that process secure and not give more privilege to a user. -- Joe Morris Registered Linux user 231871 running openSUSE 10.3 x86_64 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [opensuse] SLES, openSuSE and release cycles... what's the plan?
Marcus Meissner wrote The scheduling decision when SLES 11 will happen have not been made. Rough lines are likely discussed already, but not down to my level. Ok, so there might be hope that it will share the code base with 11.0 :-) In general we try to also try capture Features in the Service Packs too, Hmm. As for the feature things, perhaps this is something we should really look into doing for the Service Packs too. You definitely do a lot with the service packs, also the latest hardware drivers etc. But I guess for major upgrades like switching from tomcat 5.0 to 5.5 a SP isn't the right place... Not talking about the kernel features like unionfs, gcc 3 - 4 or (and that's often very important for our developers) a glibc upgrade. That's what breaks everything :-) For SP2 we already update php5 to 5.2.latest for instance (but I am afraid for other features it is likely too late already). We do appreciate that, no question!

I'm not exactly sure how GRUB works but Dave's /etc/grub.conf reads: setup --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 (hd0) (hd1,5) quit which seems like the boot loader is installed in MBR of sda but it is trying to load GRUB from sdb6?

Thank you, Adam Yes, 10.3, compiz and ATI Mobility Radeon 9700. You need to use the 8.43 driver, the 8.44 driver has resolution problems, but does fix other bugs. Install compiz, but DO NOT install compiz-manager. Install and use fusion-icon to start compiz. If you can't find the 8.43 driver mail me privately and I'll provide you with a link to download the 10.3 driver (14Meg). I'd post it globally, but I only have 128k upstream at home.

You will need to alter a couple of links to libraries to get around a SONAME driver bug, that is fixed in the 8.44 driver, but as I said above the 8.44 driver has resolution problems.
