[opensuse-factory] USB and udev process

2008-01-18 Thread Donn Washburn

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 ).


Is there a better place to ask for info?

[opensuse-factory] udev . kernel

2008-01-01 Thread Donn Washburn

Hey Group;

My camera problem has to be a udev  kernel headache.
I have plugged in/out the USB camera and lsusb finds it every time.
However /dev never seems to get a new device.  The next sd device should 
be sdd and have only one partition that is vfat.


To check for any thing helpful I have looked at
find /sys -name dev and cat /sys/block/sdd/size
with no sdd found results.  I have written a dev.rules that is 
83-camera.rules.


udevinfo -a -p /sys/block/sdd  and the answer is no valid sysfs device 
found


lsusb shows.  All ports on this MB are USB 2.0
Bus 001 Device 007: ID 07b4:0109 Olympus Optical Co., Ltd

This has got to be a SuSE 103 GM related problem because it works great 
everytime on my nephews Ubuntu system Laptop.


Anyone have a clue as to the flow of the usb-kernel-udev-write devfile.

 http://reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html#example-camera  seems 
to have some good examples of udev rules.

[opensuse-factory] USB wake up problem and KDE

2007-12-31 Thread Donn Washburn

Hey Group;

This is 10.3 GM upgraded.  I have a Oylumpus SP-550UZ USB digital camera 
that is viewed as a usb_storage device with a vfat partition..


It is seen by the USB lsusb system everytime and SuSE's hwinfo 
--usb.  KDE3 brings up a selection menu which I think is related to 
hal lshal .  However,  now and then My Computer will see it.  I 
have (as root) mounted it with mount /dev/sdd1 /media/camera. 
Sometime it works and other times is states the /dev/hdd1 is not a 
device.  The problem is - unknown and I would blame udev rules for the 
problem but I have been told that the USB system doesn't follow udev.


What is the flow of a hwinfo, lsusb, and lsmod (all look good) get to 
lshal  Could this be a USB 1 and 2 issue.

[opensuse] USB storage - kde3 and camera

2007-12-30 Thread Donn Washburn

Hey Group;

I have a Olympus SP-550UZ digital camera which is to be a remote file 
system similar to a USB hard drive filesystem.


It works only if I have it hooked up at boot time on SuSE 10.3 GM.
lsusb, hwinfo --usb and KDE3 pops up a selection menu.  if done at 
boot time even I hate to say it - My Computer will not show the files 
until I mount it mount /dev/sdd1 /media/camera   At that point all 
of the fils.jpg show up.  Also modprobe vfat seems to be automatic


However, if I connect the camera after a full bootup lsusb sees it.
KDE3 sees it.  But mount complains that there is no device /dev/sdd1

So the USB system sees it.  lsmod sees vfat but lshal fails to see it

Anyone have a clue to find this problem

[opensuse] LANG goof in Firefox

2007-12-15 Thread Donn Washburn

Hey Group;

Has anyone had a problem with firefox missing the native LANG (in this 
case I think it is Dutch or Germany) All of the buttons and menus are 
wrong.  This is on a fresh 103 GM i586 system.  Every other thing seems 
correct.  I have tried Yast2 setting thing to US-en and UTF-8 (which I 
believe is the default selected during thje setup loading.


I have removed /home/user/.mozilla/firefox and even .kde and finally the 
Desktop/Mozzilla.Firefox.destop.  Then freshly remade all of that - 
still wrong!


Any one think of a place to look?

[opensuse-factory] libstdc++.la

2007-10-27 Thread Donn Washburn

Hey group;

It seems that many source programs are looking for libstdc++.ls and 
libexpat.la.  Neither is found.  Programs like koffice and kMyMoney.  I 
think libstdc++ and libexpat are not in the normal / development packages.


KMyMoney from SuSE as a 9.0-cvs rpm fails to work because a missing lib.
libkdchart.so.0 which is why I need to get koffice to work.

Something like g++ may also have the location as /usr/lib/.lib/file.la.
At least the g++ error states that location (.lib).

[opensuse-factory] openSuse 10.3 dual boot Solaris 10 usf

2007-10-22 Thread Donn Washburn

Hey Group;

I rec. a free version of Solaris 10 on DVD.  I was in hopes I could dual 
boot it and SuSE.  Primarily I will use SuSE but would like to try 
vmware or the like as a test.  I have tried Sid's suggestion

mount -t usf usftype=sunx86 /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 (sda1 is correct).
Has anyone gotten this to work?  I did get Solaris to boot before 
loading SuSE 10.3 GM.  That short time showed me why I prefer Linux!!

[opensuse-factory] Here comes the Tax Man

2007-10-14 Thread Donn Washburn

Hey Group;

Coming to a Country near you!!!

In the USA our Senate is fixing to really help us out.  As of November 1
2007 the Internet Tax Ban will run out.  As usual the US and State
governments can not miss an opportunity to tax.  The USA Senate is set
to have a vote on taxing the internet.  The real danger is once a tax is
in place it just keeps growing - Take the Texas Sales Tax as an example.

So if you are interested in not seeing your Google searches and your
purchases be taxed, consider a letter campaign.

Senator Ron Wyden (D) is backing a ban

The result is that I fixed the system with the rescue option (chroot,

I also have had a zypper upgrade problem.  Now KDE totally fails do to

Where would I look to change this location short of move things.
Just kidding!!
/usr/share/gnucash/gnome/help/gnucash/C/gnucash-guide.xml is a good path

So it looks like the KDR Help Center doesn't have permission to look

Well then check out their README in /etc/init.d which say lpd start

LPD is there as an option to connect to remote servers that don't

Sid spotted my Senior Moment problem.  Not lpd but cups and it is

[opensuse-factory] Linux and HiDef TV

2007-09-12 Thread Donn Washburn

Hey Group;

I may being say goodbye to my old Hauppauge Model 401 pci buss TV/FM
perfectly good card due to the FCC forcing HiDef down our throats.

To that is there a good Linux PCI HiDef TV/FM card out there?
As I remember at the first of 2009 this switch will take effect.  The
local FREE TV station will drop analog and go to the forced on the
broadcaster and us HD TV.  My guess is the US government is looking for
fees, and taxes as income.  Most people are happy with their old analog
TVs  Shades of Quad HiFi!!

[opensuse-factory] Alpha 7 and others

2007-08-19 Thread Donn Washburn

Hey Group;

Console Yast2 and the Software Update process appears to not clear the 
previous /var/lib/zypp data.  This was the cause of this system not 
finding anything new except about 10 old entries and finally a error 
message.  I removed all of the data found in /var/lib/zypp. Leaving non 
DB data. Brought up Yast2 and it found hundreds of new files showing the 
installed versions and the one that could be updated.  This took about 
30 minutes - OK!  I then selected various files to update (like open 
Office - I give up).  At some point Yast2 selection check went out and 
states Solving in a GUI text box.  Somehow I have become curious if it 
is working.  There is no sign of anything.  No spinning hour glass or 
progress bar.  top seems to imply it is however, it has been about 1 
to 2 hour and no change.  A action bar would be nice.

[opensuse-factory] Alpha7 and RPM db

2007-08-17 Thread Donn Washburn

Hey Group;

I was going to check the RPM database for various pieces of software 
versions.  Say like Open Office by rpm --qa *.  To which the rpm 
database comes up with Amarok-1.4.6 only.  I would have expected a dump 
of the programss.  So I did a remake of the RPM database rpm 
--rebuilddb then rpm --initdb and still it finds only Amarok.
This was done as root.  Am I doing it wrong or is there some other new 
trick.  rpm -q rpmfilename seems to work but rpm -q * or -qa * 
fails to work.  Is this a Senior Moment or bad memory problem.


Ultimately I was going to rpm -qa * | grep open

Yes, one of those elderly moments on my part.

Bart is correct - I use Amarok all the time because it is one of the

[opensuse-factory] Yast2 Alpha 5

2007-08-05 Thread Donn Washburn

Key Group;

I decided last night to try a Yast2  Software Management on this 
machine ($HOSTNAME=m1l).  I deselected the Yast check dependencies every 
time box due to the time it takes.  I selected what I wanted and hit 
Accept.  At that point Yast did a automatic dependency check.  That is 
where the problem came up - Yast failed to return.  It did after about 8 
hours (last night to this AM) return an error stating that it was 
looking for $HOSTNAME=localhost.  It appears the variable $HOSTNAME is 
not being carried correctly.


I have selected about 10 to 15 Update Source sites,  Yast seems to be 
happy with networking the URL.  It goes out and finds the URL and 
repodata plus subdirectories.

Well, repositories are stored in /var/lib/zypp/db/sources/ in seperate

Perhaps you are looking for them.

Thanks Ciao, Marcus

That looks like the correct place.  There is about the same number that

So it looks like /var/lib/zypp/* could be saved and quickly added to a

Hey Group;

It loaded/worked just fine on My Laptop (HP 6400) with a RJ45 eth0 and a 
Wireless WIFI.  However,  That part is not working correctly.  It would 
not set the default to agree with the Server Search device  This all 
came about at the end when hardware detection was being used.
Problem is due to not allowing multiple devices to to be setup early in 
the install.
However, it must be a display variable problem.  Yast2 when up seems to 
have it correct under Network Setting  Network Card.  It just seems it 
took a while and then a ping worked via the wireless card.

I just checked the above file in Alpha 5 and didn't find null.
So is this a new problem in Alpha 6?

[opensuse-factory] PS2 mouse in a console

2007-07-21 Thread Donn Washburn

I had a problem today with Alpha 5 Yast2 and a ps/2 mouse.
The mouse is one of those LED 2 button wheel mouse.
It worked just fine in 10.1 and previous;y in Alpha 5.
However, after a reload of Alpha 5 using Yast2/Hardware/Mousse will not 
enable the mouse other that in the runlevel 5 KDM/GDM/XDM.

After Yast2 was exited I cd to /etc/init.d and did ./gdm start
with no luck.  I have tried changing the drivers (both drivers are ps2 
or AUX).  As I recall I set the gdm up in the Runlevel editor.

Can you think of a reason it would not work?

No. Downloaded the DVD delta via ftp this morning in about 1 1/2 hours.
Took 2.5 hours for the applydeltaiso to run and I'm now going through
the upgrade. I have tried bittorrent many times in the past and every
time it was dead slow so I gave up on it and will only use ftp from here
on out.

Sorry about the K and I meant M - this job I have is ruining my life 
and memory.  I do agree that it BitTorrent is a dead horse.  So where 
did you get the ftp version?

Hey Andrew;

My first report of the .profile error in .xsession may be wrong as to 
the cause.  At this point it is a Language problem but may not be as I 
thought.  One OS is under /usr/share/servers and links from 
/etc/X11/xserver/  but the name n_US seems different.  Still tracking.

Number 3 try - (alternate method)

I downloaded OOo_2.2.1_LinuxIntel_install_wJRE_en-US.tar.gz for the 
third time.  As a test I opened it with Ark Zipper then exported to a
directory.  Then cp -R to a place (/mnt/sda10/o/OOo} that I do all of 
this kind of stuff.  I then did as OO suggested and cleared unwanted 
rpms then did -Uvih RPM/open*.rpm.  And it worked.


I must conclude the problem is with either tar or gzip.  Ark Zipper and 
RPM worked.  A fresh version of gzip will not compile.  when run 
directly gzip errors out in the same place.

[opensuse-factory] personal checkbook apps.

2007-07-08 Thread Donn Washburn

Hey Group;

I have over the the years used Checkbook Tracker which seems to not be
supported anymore.  I did switch to Kmymoney  which seems to work.
There is version 8.5 (as I remember) and 9.0. It is a concern as to the
development advances.  By that I mean it requires several programs like
koffice's libkdchart whic may get dropped in KDE 4.

I would hope to export all of the files to a cvs or common data format.
  At that point I would like to move to a more/less KDE dependent
checkbook program.  Maybe something that works on postgres, mysql or
sqlite.

Anyone currently using a program or have recommendation.

[opensuse-factory] Alpha 4 and 5 MNG error 11

Hey Group;

When exiting the X server and Window Manager KDE in both Alpha 4 and 5 I 
am seeing pages and pages of MNG error 11 function is invalid at this 
point.  This has been proven to be a KDE problem on a very fresh Alpha 
5 install from a DVD and on the previous Alpha 4 install.


By the way Alpha 5 seems very nice during the install and first boot.

What is MNG? - MNG (Multiple-image Network Graphics) Format  It seems to 
be involved with png


PNG's site calls it covering PNG's animated and lossy cousins

The problem was with mkisofs.  But the SVN version of k3b uses genisofs that 
does not have this problem. Therefore, k3b from SVN can write files 4 GB.
I don't know when k3b 1.0.2 will be released, but in case this will happen 
after 10.3 enters beta phase, will it still be possible to get the new k3b 
in?  Perhaps I'm worrying too soon and it will all work out by itself. :-)


To your genisofs app.  I did a search of the Alpha 4 system and it is 
not found.  A look on the net shows no place to get or download it.

Does anyone have a site tha t I can grab s tar.gz or bz2

SuSE 10.3Alpha 4 has

If you try to add a file larger than 4 GB with k3b 1.0.1 it gives and error

UDF does not have such a limitation.

The problem was with mkisofs.  But the SVN version of k3b uses genisofs that 
does not have this problem.


Therefore k3b from SVN can write files 4 GB.

I don't know when k3b 1.0.2 will be released, but in case this will happen 
after 10.3 enters beta phase, will it still be possible to get the new k3b 
in?


Perhaps I'm worrying too soon and it will all work out by itself. :-)



Apparently SuSE 10.3Alpha4 has mkisofs and not genisofs in this box today

By the way - a torrent transfer is about the slowest thing I have ever 
seen.  On a SuSE 10.3 Alpha4 DVD download from god only knows a 3.8G DVD 
so far is about 24 hrs into it and half way (57.4%).

[opensuse-factory] Save Net Radio

2007-06-17 Thread Donn Washburn

Hey Group;

One of the few pleasure left, is avoid AM/FM Me Too stations and
listen to the variety of stations and music on Internet Radio.
( like  www.sky.fm and smoothjazz ).

Concerning mandated Royalty rates for webcasters.  Please consider
going to  www.savenetradio.org/  and then take action to help reverse
this Internet Radio Equality Act.

Equality? Next will be VoIP, News sites and on and on.

[opensuse-factory] Command disclosure

2007-05-28 Thread Donn Washburn

Hey Group;

As a person that like to know what the system program is doing to carry 
out a command in the back ground.  I suggest, if Yast/Yast2 could have a 
field on the face of Yast/Yast2 (a blank charcacter line) that is filled 
with the under lying command and arguments that it is executing.  That 
would be very informative to Linux GUI operators/end users.  This came 
to me today thinking about how yast checks the integrity of a CD for 
pass/fail.  I guess it read the checksum and does something with it. 
The something is the question.  Is it a mount, cdrecord, wodim 
or other process?


Yast normally works well and is a very powerful value added package.

[opensuse-factory] Ark Zipper

2007-05-27 Thread Donn Washburn

Hey SuSE;

After about 3 hours of downloading that sorry Ark Zipper unzipped a 
file.iso (that is nice, to see whats in the file.iso).  Guess what?  It 
would not save it or do any useful thing with it (like burn to a CD).  I 
even tried lying to it that the file.iso was to be tarred to the HD.  It 
of course failed and up came a bug report.  After filling and sending it 
the wonderful Ark Zipper disappeared. Gone!  with no trace of my 3 hour 
download file.iso


Granted it started with my mistake to not catch the unzip or save 
message coming from Firefox.  Never the less, it needs a just save as 
function.

[opensuse-factory] hdparm

2007-05-06 Thread Donn Washburn

Hey Group;

I have someone with a old AMD K6-2 500Mhz baby MB.  It has 2 IDE hard 
drives on a 66 bus.  hdparm and /dev/sda and /dev/sdb seem to have 
problems.  I had a felling that SuSE may be using them as idebus=33 and 
not 66.  So, I was going to check using hdparm and set it on.  However, 
these drives are not liked by hdparm.  I keep getting a io error.

The system is SuSE 10.3Alpha2.

Has anyone noticed this problem?  It maybe a problem with hdparm dealing 
with the sda drive and not hda

Turn it on and bring up SuSE  Yast2  Network  Network Cards and SuSE 
found a VIA-RHINE module.  Problem with that is that no where is it

[opensuse-factory] SIS 530/620 onboard video

2007-04-21 Thread Donn Washburn

Hey Group;

I am involved with a older system with a SIS 530/620 on board video 
system.  Yes, miserable!  The problem is that any SuSE from a boxed set 
10.1 to current 10.3.Aplha# fail during booting from CD #1 just about 
the point at which /dev/udev is showing on the screen.  It locks up the 
whole unit.  To rescue this system I have resorted to Fedora Core 6 and 
it is working at this point.  I tried with SuSE at the boot menu to 
select VESA and TEXT modes plus failsafe.  Nothing worked


It appears SuSE's udev is unable to setup a dev console/tty#.
The screen goes black and the keyboard is dead.

Anybody found a work around?

[opensuse-factory] Open SuSE 10.3 alpha 2

2007-04-01 Thread Donn Washburn

Hey Group;

I have had a problem with some of the latest versions of SuSE after a 
complete loaded at the reboot time.  It seems SuSE has setup Yast2 to 
need Xwindows already setup.  Due to this on atleast two systems with 
older video cards Yast2 after boot fails to come up.  This has happened 
on a Voodoo3 and Intel 82C8## systems.  This cause Yast2 not to get to 
the part about setting up root's password.  Furthermore just enter 
after it fails and dumps you at a login prompt fails.  It is set to 
password - god only knows.


Next - I have for year known of a way to break the root password so as 
to rescue a forgotten or lost password.  Knoppix, chroot and something 
about an x in /etc (enough said).  However, in these days of security, 
security, security and security it no longer works.


The only way to recover now a days seems to be reload (shades of Redmond).

If you know of a better way please email me direct if you desire.

Hey Group;

I have Audacity and it works (not on the PCM buss). As root it works but 
only one signal meter is working on a line input (my problem) However, 
if I try it as a user there is no record of the signal after the first 
record time.  It seems to work on the first time - punch the record 
button and the line modulates across the screen (normal).  Stop it after 
a bit.  Try as you might there is no second retart or out right start.


I get a Error while opening sound device.  To that I have ran strace 
with nothing of a value being reported.


Anyone think of a way to track this down.  I would like the user to 
have permission to use it as root or su it works

[opensuse-factory] mkdir /sys

Hey Group;

I am running SuSE 10.3 alpha - which runs very nice.  I do have a 
question.  Permissions are rather easy to figure out but what is NEW 
that causes root to not be able to mkdir in several places as in /sys.
At boot time I get a error message that states my modem 
/sys/class/net/modem0/file is missing.  As a test I was going to mkdir 
/sys/net/modem0 and see if that would solve the boot error message.
so, mkdir /sys/class/net/modem0 give permission denied error yet 
root:root and drwxr-xr-x are valid.  This appears to be a udev issue.


I did setup the modem vis yast2 after setting ln -s /dev/ttyS2 
/dev/modem and hwinfo --modem confirms /dev/ttyS2 is correct.

What is the binary replacements file name?

Are you thinking of wodim?



And there used to be a a symlink named cdrecord pointing to wodim. 
No more?


cheers,

To All;

The only thing necessary to do was install all of the audio binaries.
Then it seemed SuSE's 103 K3B hesitated to count the minutes correctly.
Or at least it seemed to.  I down loaded the same version building in 
all of binaries and k3b is working.  No other cdrecord/wodim or cd music 
wav/mp3 program needed to be upgraded.


The only thing that seems to matter is - size in minute

Anyway, Thanks to all for the enlightenment.  I might suggest adding 
streamripper to the SuSE install stream.  It is a console tool but work 
unbelievable well


Just for the heck of it I was looking for a DJ player for Linux to play 
around with.

[opensuse-factory] no cdrecord

2007-03-08 Thread Donn Washburn

Hey Group;

In SuSE10.3 there is no cdrecord.  I guest the author of cdrecords 
message to Linux hit home.  Anyway, while downloading/updating or just 
lucky I saw a note the cdrecord was being replaced.  Problem is my 
memory has not locked on the new substitute.  It may have been in the 
SuSE Yast Install notes


A which cdrecord, locate cdrecord fails to answer the question.

What is the binary replacements file name?

[opensuse-factory] Recent factory updater

2007-03-04 Thread Donn Washburn
Folks be aware of the fact the most recent update to this machine in 
attempt to just get audio files has removed about all of the development 
packages without replacing them.  xine-lib will no longer compile due to 
missing gnome libs which were found to be missing the correct links to 
/usr/lib.  So far about every required libfile.ls is missing.

So, far taglibs, libdaemon and libdaemon-gtk.so are missing

Advice - be very careful if you use the SuSE updater.

Oh yea - the updater even screwed up Yast  - it was looking for a .so.4 
lib which was missing.  I fixed the by linking it to the only file which 
was a .so.3

[opensuse-factory] 33 1/3RPM to wav

2007-03-03 Thread Donn Washburn

Hey Group;

I am about to embark on a job helping someone to get a 33 1/3 RPM old
audio record (as if you could find a new one.

Question number one is - I don't recall a true line level stereo input
on PC sound card.  I do recall a AUX/CD stereo connector on the card or
a 1/8 stereo Line IN (at least I would like to see one) that can accept
a line from a HIFI type amp stereo line out.

 From there I would have a linux mixer (qamix, kmix or the like) play
back over the speakers that signal.  From a mixer I could create a
audiofile.wav.

Question #2  Anyone have knowledge from that point?

I would ultimately like to burn the audiofile.wav to a CD

Even better capture the music on www.sky.fm/smoothjazz which amarok does
so well.

[opensuse-factory] feature adds to Yast

2007-02-27 Thread Donn Washburn

Hey Group;

Running SuSE 10.3 upgraded.  A feature that I would like to again see in 
Yast during the installation

1. A select everything button for those that would like to load
   everything.
2. A way to save a copy of the files configured to a floppy or HD
3. maybe selection for
End User KDE or Gnome
developer with or without graphic
All servers
Anyway this is just a selection idea.  There is likely a better way.
