[opensuse] VMWare Workstation 5.5.1 on OpenSUSE 10.3 (Solved)
Hi, Just to make a clarification due to this thread (http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2007-10/msg00882.html) and this one (http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2007-10/msg00873.html). Subject is about "Installing VMWare WS ver 5.5.1 into OpenSUSE 10.3". Installation process finished without problem but launched "/usr/bin/vmware" produced an error : vmware: xcb_xlib.c:52: xcb_xlib_unlock: Assertion `c->xlib.lock' failed. Note : VMWare WS ver 5.5.1 worked very well under OpenSUSE 10.2. Run the following command : "export LIBXCB_ALLOW_SLOPPY_LOCK=true" as mentioned in OpenSUSE WIKI (http://en.opensuse.org/Xlib.lock) didn't successfull. For those who have same problem, solution should be an easy way : 1. Upgrade your VMWare into ver 5.5.5. VMWare 5.5.1 serial valid for 5.5.5 2. Download vmware-any-any-update from http://knihovny.cvut.cz/ftp/pub/vmware/. I take vmware-any-any-update114.tar.gz 3. Installing your VMWare ver 5.5.5 4. Run your vmware-any-any-update (extract and invoke ./runme.pl) I've wrote a complete steps in my blog, http://www.vavai.net/index.php?/archives/18-Installing-VMWare-Ver-5.5-.X-on-OpenSUSE-10.3.html Sorry for this link. I'm not a splogger ;-). Rui Santos has notified this solution in these thread before but another replies said that it can't be applied to OpenSUSE 10.3.

Here is what I wrote at the article : 1. Used VMWare version 5.5.5. This version used same license with version 5.5.1. If you have prior version, download VMWare ver 5.5.5 from VMWare. 2. Download vmware-any-any-update114.tar.gz or another latest update to update your kernel module. 3. Install the following packages. The Software Management tool in YaST makes this easy to do. - binutils - gcc - gcc-c++ - kernel-source - make (this is probably already installed) 4. Preparing the kernel update, run the following command : # cd /usr/src/linux # make mrproper # make cloneconfig # make modules_prepare 5. Go to your vmware-any-any-update114.tar.gz download directory 6. Extract the file # tar -zxvf vmware-any-any-update114.tar.gz 7. Switch to the directory in which you extracted vmware-any-any-update # cd vmware-any-any-update114 8. Run ./runme.pl and follow the prompts. After applying the patch, the runme.pl script will call the VMware configuration script /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl. Follow these prompts as well. 9. Finally, the configuration process finished with greeting message : The configuration of VMware Workstation 5.5.5 build-56455 for Linux for this running kernel completed successfully. You can now run VMware Workstation by invoking the following command: "/usr/bin/vmware". Enjoy, --the VMware team 10. Run your VMWare by invoking the following command : "/usr/bin/vmware" from Konsole. # /usr/bin/vmware VMWare response with this warning : /usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware: /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libpng12.so.0/libpng12.so.0: no version information available (required by /usr/lib/libcairo.so.2) But the rest is OK and VMWare launched and started successfully.

[opensuse] Blogger Party, Microsoft & OpenSUSE Mission
Well, this is not about technical stuff. Just an intermezzo ;-). Last week (October 27, 2007), the Indonesian Blogger created their event called PestaBlogger 2007 (Blogger Party, http://pestablogger.com). This is the first and biggest national blogger events in Indonesia. After short discussion with my friend of mine in Indonesian OpenSUSE Community (http://www.opensuse.or.id), we get a plans to take this event as an opportunity to promote OpenSUSE by providing CDs and brochure. I contacted one company based on Bandung, Indonesia (Paris van Java :-) ) and got their support by providing 1000 CDs OpenSUSE with pre-printed Geeko logo. What's the interesting point is the party list of sponsors. PestaBlogger chairman told me that one of the main sponsors is Microsoft Indonesia. He said that the committee would not be accepted our request to attached the CD as one of the audience gifts but he provided another way, distributed CD without officially attached. We (me and some OpenSUSE-ID member) tried plan B. We brings the CDs onto the party. I met some bloggers (about 500 bloggers around of Indonesia) and the mission getting started, distributed the CD with one or two introduction words. The mission completed successfully with a good response. We got another advantages because Microsoft provided only about 10 DVD of Windows Vista and Office 2007 compares to 1000 CD of OpenSUSE 10.3 :-). Maybe in the next blogger party, OpenSUSE-ID and Indonesian Linux Community receive the equal opportunity to get listed as main sponsors :-). Next event is Bandung Comtech and Indonesia Linux Conference in the end of November 2007. Indonesian OpenSUSE Community officially invited by the committee and we hope we get better idea to promote this nice distro. I posted this story at my personal blog : http://www.vavai.net/index.php?/archives/22-PestaBlogger-2007-Blogger-Party,-OpenSUSE-and-Celebrity-Violin-Player.html Note : Indonesian OpenSUSE Community launched at July 23, 2007.

[opensuse] How to Build DVD Images of OpenSUSE Repositories
Hi forums, Is there any chance to build up a DVD images of OpenSUSE repositories just like what have done with Ubuntu (http://www.howtoforge.com/dvd_images_of_ubuntu_repositories). I have successfully used rsync to make a local repositories of OpenSUSE oss, non oss and Packman Repositories but I need to make this as DVD image to better distribution around of Indonesia. The main problem in our country is about poor internet connection so the brilliant improvement like one-click-install or online update only touch some of the OpenSUSE fans. We could avoid this problem by providing OpenSUSE repositories. We also take another approach by tried to make a remastered distro based on OpenSUSE 10.3 with common application used in Indonesia, or by providing add-on cd that contains a typical codecs and application but it is another project of our community. In OpenSUSE 10.2, we could built up OpenSUSE 10.2 repositories by manually split the contents into 6 DVD. In 10.3, it seems to more difficult to split the file to fit on 4 GB capacity on each DVD (we can take 8 GB capacity of DVD but it still didn't solve the main problem). Any suggestion really appreciated. -- Best Regards, Masim "Vavai" Sugianto // Blog (ID) : http://www.vavai.com/blog/index.php Blog (EN): http://www.vavai.net Community : http://www.opensuse.or.id Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] // -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I got same experience about this 1 month ago, after 10.3 installation. After trying some tips and tricks, there is 2 option to solved this problem: 1. chmod 777 to the VMware images (folder and it's content) 2. Change the author or make the group author to get full access to the VMware images Try to logout and re-login to make sure the VMWare setting has been changed and get the latest update. I don't now why but the trick worked for me :-). -- Best Regards, Masim "Vavai" Sugianto // Blog (ID) : http://www.vavai.com/blog/index.php Blog (EN): http://www.vavai.net Community : http://www.opensuse.or.id Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] // -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[opensuse] Collecting a Complete Set of Software and It's Dependencies
Hi, I don't know it's easy to become true or not :-) I have a local copy of openSUSE repositories (oss, non oss and Packman). I want to collect a complete set of software and it's dependencies from the repos so I can redistribute in a small amount of size. Here is an example : If I choose w32-codecsall, it should be display what library should be included, just like a process in Software Management in YAST, but I need more of this. I want that all of dependencies copied automatically into specified folder. Is this possible to use YAST capability to do this or is there another solution to solve my problem ? I know, I can used Kiwi to make a remastered openSUSE based distro but if this possible, it would be great. Another idea is creating one-click-install script with local repos but this idea still needed what dependencies software must be included. -- Best Regards, Masim "Vavai" Sugianto // Blog (ID) : http://www.vavai.com/blog/index.php Blog (EN): http://www.vavai.net Community : http://www.opensuse.or.id Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] // -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Skip this process. If the installation worked without problem, then it means you do not need any-any-patch :-). The problem in your installation is about kernel-source that must be installed with gcc, make, binutils and gcc-c++. This component required to build vmmon module. As I suggested in earlier email, you can follow the instruction here : http://www.vavai.net/index.php?/archives/18-Installing-VMWare-Ver-5.5-.X-on-OpenSUSE-10.3.html and skip the process about any-any-patch. -- Best Regards, Masim "Vavai" Sugianto // Blog (ID) : http://www.vavai.com/blog/index.php Blog (EN): http://www.vavai.net Community : http://www.opensuse.or.id Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] // -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
