Re: [opensuse] Default root password
Hello community, hello Tatsuhiro ! I just downloaded and installed version 10.1 on my MacBook Pro using Parallels. It took hours, huge distro! I even patched it and everything. However, I can't authenticate as root to change display resolutions, etc. I don't remember entering a root password when installing and can't find a setting for it. I just have one account called locadmin. The password for that account doesn't work. I am missing something very obvious, but am not seeing it. Please help. AFAIK there is *no* default password for the root account ... Have you tried an empty string (i.e. the enter key) only ... ? Well, I don't know if there is a special version for your hardware, but during the installation process you had been prompted for a password for the root account for sure ! This happens right after all packages had been installed and the first restart of the system occured. Question is if all went well during the installation process, and realy all packages had been installed ... One solution could be to boot of the installation media again choosing rescue system. This will launch a text mode only live system. Here you need to identify and mount the /-partition of your SUSE installation. For a plain vanilla installation on an ordinary PC this would be something like /dev/hda1, but for MacBooks I have no glue. I guess you installed SUSE in parallel to an existing MacOS system, right ? In this case I recommend to check the partition table using the fdisk command. Try fdisk /dev/your-harddisk-device where your-harddisk-device could be one of the following (more options possible but most likely one out of these): hda 1st IDE hard disk hdb 2nd IDE hard disk sda 1st SCSI hard disk When prompted use 'p' for displaying the partition table and look for a partition of approx. 20 GB and partition type '83'. This might be the root partition of your SUSE installation. There might be another partition of type '83'. This could be the /home-partition of your SUSE installation. All the above is based on the assumption that you did not change any of the settings of a default installation. As written already I have no xperiences with installations on a MacBook. If you identified your /-partition you need to mount this device by mount /dev/your-SUSE-root-device /mnt. You should check the contents of the newly mounted partition by issuing ls /mnt.

[opensuse] 10.1a4: YOU not able to access remote online update servers

YOU is neither able to get the suseserver list and is not able to access sample remote online update servers like ftp.suse.com. Network settings seem to be o.k. (I could ping and ftp ftp.suse.com or ftp.gwdg.de). The same hardware worked without any problem under various 10.0 snapshots (betas, RC1 and finally GM). As soon as I disable the the YAST2_LOADFTPSERVER-option and run YOU again with sample server setting like ftp.suse.com for servername and pub/suse (no leading slash !) for the folder on the server this two strings seem to be concatenated in a weird manner. With the next call to modify these settings the string for the folder is displayed as %2fpub/suse and as soon as this settings are stored the resulting path is displayed as ftp://ftp.suse.com/%2f%252fpub/suse;. The next attempt to open this obviously wrong setting shows %2f%2f2fpub/suse and after exiting this dialog the resulting string is ftp://ftp.suse.com/%2f%252f%252f%252fpub/suse;.

However, this problem is already fixed in the km_smartlink-softmodem for 10.1 release... but there are other problems with that package.

When the kernel initialize itself and search and load the modules for my hardware, it automatically load slamr module for modem... but it do that too early. I don't know why... but this behaviour blocks the modem!!!

Hi ! Guillermo Ballester Valor schrieb: I assume other mirrors also include the packages. But still I can't find them at ftp.gwdg.de. The above link is from a suse user. The poor ftp.gwdg.de ... I can remember times where using ftp.gwdg.de was real fun. Nowadays it is heavily burdened. It seems to get the most traffic regarding all the (open)SuSE stuff ;-) But on the other hand it has become a reference -- a standard; everyone is refering to it like ftp.gwdg.de is slow From my point of view the major site should be ftp.suse.com Also we need an apt KDE stable repository for 10.0 ;) Why not a YUM repo as well ?

Hi ! Eberhard Moenkeberg schrieb: Also we need an apt KDE stable repository for 10.0 ;) Will come tonight or during the day. Why not a YUM repo as well ? Not usable for apt. Well, apt repo might not be usefull for YUM users, that's true. But based on the posts in the opensuse mailing lists I though all the apt stuff will be canceld and YUM should be the tool of choice. Isn't that valid anymore ? Otherwise I would not understand to supply a apt repo but no YUM repo ... Never give up !

Hi all ! Patrick Shanahan schrieb: * jim [EMAIL PROTECTED] [10-15-05 17:40]: My 17 monitor keeps coming up with Out of Range warning. Suse detected the Komondo monitor during installation. Whereis XFree86.conf located I need to change the Hoz and Vert settings. /etc/X11/XF86Config Since SuSE changed to Xorg the file is called /etc/X11/xorg.conf (/etc/X11/XF86Config now is a symlink to xorg.conf) I guess it is a better idea to use a tool like sax2 to do that task ... Therefore I recommend to change to runlevel 3 (by command init 3 as user root) and then calling sax2 (as well as user root). On the first page displayed by sax2 you will find an entry for the resolution. Probably it is set to 1280x1024. For 17 monitors a resolution of 1152x864 or 1024x768 might be the better choice. If your monitor supplier is not within the list of possible selections I suggest to use the -- VESA section. Probably you should start with 1024x768 and then trying 1152x768. Never give up !

Re: [opensuse] Wireless Problem in 10.0
Hello Daniel ! used Daniel Hatfield schrieb: This isn't a show stopper, but it is very frustrating. After setting Suse 10 up on my laptop (I used to run 9.3 and yes it's a clean install), wireless configuration through Yast doesn't work. I know my settings are correct (I've rentered them several times). I know the module is correct, because all that I need to do is iwconfig and dhcpcd to get it working (I have to do it every time I boot). So, this is what happens: If I run iwconfig after configuring yast it shows all the correct setting (essid, wep key, mode), but is says it's unassociated and that the security mode is restricted!? If i just run iwconfig with all of my settings from the CL and it connects right up. Connecting from the command line isn't the end of the world, but it is a digression. I would soo love to get this working. Overall I love Suse 10, but if can't get this fixed I may be rolling back to 9.3. It would be interesting to know the WLAN hardware used ... What happens when you issue /etc/init.d/network restart (as user root) ? Have you set up an additional LAN port ? If yes, did you enable on cable connect for device activation in the section [advanced]-[detailed settings] of the LAN port configuration ? I had similar problems as I started with SuSE 9.3 on my notebook. Using on cable connect for the LAN port helped to get the WLAN port running more stable. Never give up !

Re: [opensuse] Startx doesn't start
Carl Hartung schrieb: If you boot to run level 3, log in as root and run sax2 -l (lower case L), SaX2 will run in standard VESA compliant low resolution (VGA) mode, which is supported natively in hardware, (no special external drivers needed) in every PC graphics subsystem marketed in at least the past ten years. If you're getting a text console and can log into run level 3, *and* if your hardware is not broken in some way or misidentified during installation, sax2 -l will work. If it *doesn't* work, that is a clear sign that there is something fundamentally wrong at the hardware level... either: - the hardware is not supported - the hardware is not recognized properly (meaning the installer is getting confused and misidentifying it, thereby creating inappropriate config files) - there is actually something wrong with the hardware: - wrong BIOS settings - a mix of unsupported+supported parts producing confused probe results - damaged or improperly installed components IMHO, it isn't fair or reasonable to dump on SaX2 until you've ruled out these possibilities. O.k., that's true ! One also can try to get a more common video timing by calling YaST from a text conole device, navigate to the graphics card settings and select a [EMAIL PROTECTED] screen. Using the sax2 -l or sax2 -il should work every time but is crude somehow. In this case I would prefer to use sax2 -V 0:[EMAIL PROTECTED] as posted by houghi. Never give up !

To be honest, I'm changing the GRUB configuration after installation as well, but I don't do it during the installation itself. IMHO that is an EXPERT task. Therefore it is right under the EXPERT tab. 10.0rc1 at this time is for experts but will be released to the public soon (less than 4 weeks from now ...) and then hidding EXPERT taks under the EXPERT tab seems to be vital. Otherwise non-EXPERTS might be confused by too many options ... [...] Why i want to update ? I wanted to update the Beta4 to RC1, and next i possibly want to update my SuSE 9.1 to SuSe 10 ... But this is not the Point, if you want to update you want control by your bootloader, that´s it. Again, you might want to do that, but I expect you not to be a non-EXPERT.

Re: [opensuse] opensuse wlan
Hallo ! Helmut Seidel schrieb: this weekend i tried opensuse rc1 - everything looks fine but I cannot connect to the internet via my wlan. I had the same problem with 9.3 but I could solve this by deleting my ethernetcard in yast. In rc1 I cannot delete the ethernetcard. If I click on delete the card does not disappear, it simply is markedt as unconfigured and that doesn't help (at least on suse 9.3) - is there any way to delete the card? Some questions: Are you connected to a LAN as well (i.e. have you plugged in an ethernet/TP cable as well) ? I could configure my SuSE 9.3 by using the the ifplugd for the LAN port. You can enable this using YaST. Therefore chose the LAN port and open the extended options/device activation (sinngem.) [Erweiterte Einstellungen]-[Geräte-Aktivierung]. You will find entries like (sinngem.) during startup [Beim Systemstart], if plugged-in [Bei Kabelanschluß], hotplugged [Falls hot-plugged], Manual [Manuell] and Never [Niemals]. The 2nd one [Bei Kabelanschluß] should be your selection for the LAN port. For the WLAN port you need not to change anything. Excuse my clumsy English ant thanks for your help.

Re: [opensuse] Yast Vs Apt
Barry Hinrichs schrieb: I added many new sources to my Yast list, and it still seems to me that Yast is an inferior tool compared to APT. I tried to add MPlayer and some other basic programs, and it just complains about lots of conflicts, and all the resolutions involve removing programs or other extreme things. If you select the right source (packman for most multimedia stuff ...) apt might be *your* choice ... Am I missing something? Is there a way to make Yast actually SOLVE dependencies instead of proposing solutions such as ignore and risk inconsistensies or get an older version of such and such... YaST seems to have some disadvantages in this regard compared to apt. Apt seems to SOLVE dependencies automatically and make things much simpler. That's right. and there is a GUI called synaptic for apt. I use apt as well as YaST/YOU and haven't had any problem with these two tools up to now. AFAIK they are using the same RPM database to retrieve there information. In a german magazin (c't) there had been an excellent article about apt. Apt is solving all that stuff in a somehow more consistent way. What I experienced so far that statement seems to be true.

[opensuse] Beta4: MD5SUM for CD5 delta missing
Hi everyone ! Just downloaded delta ISOs of beta 4 using bittorrent. I tried to check all the md5sum of all the deltas but failed to do so with CD5. I checked file MD5SUMS of beta4 and recognized that this file does not contain the checksum of the CD5 delta ISO. All other checksums are available. Request 1: Could one of the responsibles correct this inconsistency ? Request 2: Could one send me the md5sum of CD5 delta ISO by PM ? Thanks !
