I give up.

During installs I get a silent failure when trying to put grub on the

drive.

If I try doing it from the rescue system it can't find the drive and 
gives me 
an error.

When 10.3 is fully released I'll try again.

[opensuse] Installing 10.3 to a USB external drive?

2007-09-27 Thread Nick Zentena
This may be stupid but a question it is.

What if any problems will I have with 10.3 installed on an external USB 
drive? Windows is on the laptop internal drive. I guess grub will be 
installed to that. Will it handle booting to the external? Will it gracefully 
handle the times the external won't be plugged in? I guess it'll be slower 
then an internal drive.

 Dear everyone on the list

 I am going to purchase a new mobile phone: having not purchased a new
 mobile phone for some 6 years I am shocked in both number of choices on
 the market and over-wheelming number of features to choose from. I guess
 probably people on the list know better which in-expensive durable model
 that can cope well with SuSE software, e.g. Evolution (for contact
 persons and alarm is okay).

 Internet: It's better if the mobile phone can offer Internet
 connectivity, to allow me read / send email on the mobile phone using
 IMAP. No need to run a browser on it. Also it's better if the phone can
 provide my notebook wireless Internet connection through infrared or
 bluetooth or whatever Linux supports. No fancy function like camera and
 radio needed. If mp3 is supported then better also support OGG.

 Multimedia: No complex feature like play one of 1000 games and run
 several kinds of virtual machine. No need wide built-in full-color
 screen for watching movie and reading book.

 Mac OS: It would be better if it's also supported by Mac OS X 10.2 which
 is my second OS, but that I think for that I'll go to consult Mac OS
 user group.

 LDAP: it's a dream if there is a model supports LDAP because all my
 contacts are stored in centralized LDAP contact directory in our
 company, but when I ask LDAP most mobile phone retailer guy don't know
 what I am talking about. I'll start a google research later see if there
 is such a product.

 Durability: The last mobile phone I used 6 years until it's lost (NOT
 BROKEN). I know many manufacturer try to design IT goods to last exactly
 as long as warranty period with excuse that nobody will use it for more
 than 3 years etc. I am nobody and I am going to use it for some longer
 time. It seems in China now people change mobile phone as frequent as
 they take bath so a lot of Chinese products are designed feature-rich,
 good-looking, very cheap and only last a month or two.


Do you want a smart phone? Or just a phone with a few extra features?

Odds are you should check what your provider is pushing this week. 
Models 
change. They have different names in different parts of the world or even 
with different providers. Feature sets can change between providers.

Internet check what your provider network supports. What they might be 
supporting real soon now. HSPDA phones seem to be getting cheaper by the day 
but if your provider doesn't support it no point spending the extra money. 
I'm not sure bluetooth is really fast enough for HSPDA. I'd want a cable 
personally.

You might want to consider a laptop card [assuming you're hauling a 
laptop 
around] and a basic phone.

 What size HD do you get for 100 Euros?  The box I've got would be reusing

  For the life of me, I don't understand this vendetta against ASUS.
 
  I had three boards in a row 'smoke' on me when I first installed them.
 
  I was able to get replacements each time from the vendor.  And the last
  of those three was in a complete new chasis that was assembled by the
  vendor.
 
  I finally shipped that back and told the vendor to reassemble it with an
  Intel MB and I haven't used ASUS since.   At the time I was told that
  ASUS's quality control sucked and that they would re-ship returned boards
  without even looking at them.

 I'm on my 2nd ASUS mom board.  The first I used for about 4.5 years,
 before upgrading to my current 64 bit ASUS system.  Both have worked
 well with Linux.


I must be on my 6th or 7th Asus board. Never had a problem with Linux. 
Never 
had a board fail. Including the one that must be 20 years old and would still 
run today if I felt like plugging it in. 

Re-ship??? Asus doesn't deal with customers. By the time a board gets 
back to 
Asus the dealer would have handled it. The distributor would have handled it. 
Both would have checked the board in my expierence. By this point why would 
they re-ship a board that has failed two checks? Now your dealer might have 
returned the board to you. 

I do remember Nvidia running fast and lose with the video specs and 
causing 
problems. Not because the Asus board was out of spec but because Nvidia was 
counting on the MB to be poorly made and out of spec. But any board maker 
that does that is the one causing the problems.

 Patrick, that's not correct. As I wrote I had no problem accessing
 these sites and I have 2.6.18.2-34-default kernel on 2 machines.


FWIW I did make oldconfig with 2.6.19.1-default. Compiled and installed 
the 
new kernel. I can now get to Mary Mount but www.keh.com is still broken.

 Guys, please re-check. Somebody mistyped it as marymount.com. This one
 is working.
 It was marymount.edu that still fails (on ALL my boxes, including Win XP).


Okay neither are working for me after upgrading the kernal.

 Have you read the bug? Etch's and Fedora's 2.6.18 kernels also fail.
 OTOH, the vanilla 2.6.19 kernel worked for me yesterday, and still works
 today.


How did you configure it? I downloaded it and did an make oldconfig. It 
still 
fails here.

 It wouldn't be the TCP stack (at least I don't think), as some 10.2
 installs can reach the site.  As such, it also should not be the kernel
 itself, although it may be implicated.  Is there a pattern of NIC brands or
 drivers being used that can or can't load this site?  I believe that the
 IBM machines are using an Intel chipset, and apparently can reach the site.
  What is everybody else using?  Broadcom?  Wireless with MadWifi?  This
 could make a significant difference.

 I don't know what could be causing this and why it's (so far) manifested
 only when trying to access this particular site / address, but clearly
 the checksum generation is the problem.

 Perhaps it is in some way associated with the destination IP address or
 range of addresses?


No it's also happening with www.keh.com for me. I haven't noticed it on 
any 
other site but considering the number of sites out there it's likely hitting 
others.

 No problem here: Old IBM Aptiva PC with OpenSuSE 10.2 just installed,

I can't get to www.marymount.edu either. For that matter I can't get to 
www.keh.com. I just figured something was wrong with the net since everything 
else works.

OTOH both work from my old 9.2 box. Both boxes connect to the same 
router.

Is it possible to set Pop passwords for this so you don't need to input 
them 
each and every time. Telling it to remember passwords doesn't seem to help 
any.
