I recently created a SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP1 VM at susestudio. I am a total SUSE novice...I seem to be missing several commands from the command line... in particular I do not have the ability to run man.If I try to man anything I getbash: man: command not foundI checked, and the man-pages package was not installed, so I did download and install, (and rebooted) but still no luck running man

As a premise let me say I'm a debian guy so I'm not really an expert on every aspect of how Centos work and if the following questioms seem dumb, I'm sorry :D What I have to for a school project is to use Xen. After two days of cursing I've managed to install it correctly and so I've installed a domU Centos 5.5.
Now I need to install sysbench on this domU and run some tests. I've found this guide: [URL].. But I can't find some commands. Basically this is what I have to do
# tar -xvzf sysbench-0.4.12.tar.gz
# cd sysbench-0.4.12
# libtoolize --force --copy
# ./autogen.sh
# ./configure
# make
# make install
the problem is it doens't find libtoolize. I've tried to search it with 'yum search" but with no luck.Where can I find this package? Or is it a command include in some other package? In that case how can I solve this problem? Next problem is autogen.sh. It says I don't have aclocal but automake in installed as a package.
I have a Toshiba Satellite A300, and a have tried 10.3 live cd.After the boot I can't use the hotkeys by FN key, and the CPU fan isn't run althought 100%cpu usage.After suspend and resume, CPU fan starts immediatly and hotkeys are worksMy question is, how can I find the command which runs after resume, what fix ACPI problems?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm looking for information on how to use a single FTP command from the terminal window, that would do this:
- Login (with usesrname/password)
- Set Transfer type to Binary
- Get all files in a directory and download somewhere.
- Delete all files in the directory that was just downloaded.
- Close Connection when complete.
There lots of information on individual commands, but I want to combine them into one single command that requires no human interaction. Just one big line Hopefully from this one command line I'll be able to create more for other purposes (like login and delete one file then close).
I'm running Suse 11.3 with KDE4.I have an icon in my Kickoff Application Launcher for xterm. WhenI click on the icon, it apparently executes the command /usr/bin/xterm which generates a large window with a large font.I would like to get a smaller window with a smaller font. I knowhow to do that on a command line but to execute the commandI need to _already_ have a window open so I can run the command.So how do I (a) add a new icon to the KDE launcher which generates the command I want or (b) change the existing iconso that it executes MY command and not the basic /usr/bin/xterm?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have openSUSE 11.2 and boot using GRUB. I was looking on start-up options for 11.2 and saw where it said
splash=silent
and
quiet showopts
I was wondering what they meant?
I want to turn off CPU throttling, and I notice how each time opensuse boots up, it imposes it.
I would like to know where it does this. I suspect - but actually I don't really know - if it's the HAL daemon that does this. Could be.
In any case, rather than have to key it in each time, I put the relevant commands (cpufreq-set) in boot.local. No effect.
I suspect boot.local might not be the best place for such a heavy duty command like this one.
Are there any there places I could put it so that it executes automatically?
I installed Fedora 12 in my PC and after that when I tried to use minicom it was not installed. I tried copying the executable of minicom in /usr/bin from another PC and tried using it. But, I was not able to enter any commands in minicom..

I found a set of commands that allow me to use my webcam within skype by running the following Code:
Unfortunately, it looks like I need to type in these lines every time I restart skype. Is there a way to automate the process, so that when I start my computer it executes the code before starting skype?
What this code does? I find it difficult to run commands without knowing what they do. Do you have to be a programmer to know about these commands or should everyone who uses suse know about that.
I switched from windows not long ago.
I have just installed 11.2 i686 on two machines, one virtual and one physical. Both have been set to start in runlevel 3. For some reason it seems that my installations have missed some step in the process, because the system cannot find several rather important commands, eg. init and ifconfig.this is what I get if I try to run ifconfig:
Code:
user@computer:~> sudo ifconfig
sudo: ifconfig: command not found

I am using a HP Mini 1010nr with broadcom bcm4312 wireless card. I went online and downloaded the drivers onto a USB drive from the broadcom website. All I need to know is what are the commands or the programs I use to install the 32 bit drivers I downloaded?? Sorry I know the answer is in here somewhere but I don't understand what the command is on how to install my drivers from my thumb drive.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI've been using opensuse 11.2 and windows xp at parallel. After I decide to reinstall windows, I got the error saying "invalid partition table" after the first restart of windows xp installation.
I tried to use windows system recovery console and committing fixmbr and fixboot commands, but didn't work.
After all, i boot with opensuse livecd to run the grub and got my opensuse back.
How can I installed windows on a opensuse installed system? My plan was first to install windows xp, then opensuse again.

View 4 Replies View RelatedAfter upgrading to the above, I find that some plasmoids are missing: RSS Now, Dictionary, Calculator (of the ones I use). The most important one for me is RSS Now, indeed there is no RSS plasmoid at all offered anymore. Downloading new plasmoids doesn't offer anything, and I can't find it on kde-looks either. Has anyone else noticed this, and how I can get RSS Now and the other back?

I'm using Opensuse 11.2
I installed openSUSE a couple of weeks ago but didn't use it until 2 days ago. It was the latest version when I installed it.To my surprise there wasn't a gcc or pppoe installed. Or at least there wasn't a command line begging with ppp.I tried to install them both with rpms. I think I got them both, just they don't work very well. In particular rp-pppoe doesn't work at all. It says that there's no modem on eth0, which is very true there's only a eth cable. gcc seems to work but I'm not sure I installed all the dependencies.I can't use yast because of lack of internet. I have to reboot to windows and download rpms.Can you give me a work around? At least for the pppoe then it might fix itself. Can I have some EXACT links to rpms or another solution?

I run a molecular biology lab and we like to run the "Molecule" GL screensaver in order to look cool (I know it doesn't actually save screens, and it wastes energy, but you know..). I'm about to install Opensuse 11.3 on all 24 of our laptops and I find that the number of GL screensavers installed as standard is greatly reduced from previous Opensuse releases. Any idea where I can get the "Molecule" and other screensavers?
I am running KDE and have the following relevant packages installed:
kdeartwork4-screensaver
xscreensaver
xscreensaver-data
xscreensaver-data-extra
gnome-screensaver
gnome-screensaver-extra
This apparently gives me just 8 GL screensavers - there used to be a great many more?
A couple of weeks ago I installed openSUSE 11.3/KDE 4.4.4 over openSUSE 11.0/KDE 3.5. It went well except for what turned out to be a glitch with the KDE default Plasma Desktop Workspace, which prevented the system from shutting down (the screen would go blank and then nothing would happen). Changing the Activity in the Desktop Settings to Folder View got rid of the glitch, returning everything to normal.
The printer icon/widget is now a question mark "?." I can't say for certain when this happened.Clicking on the widget produces the message, "KDEint could not launch 'opt/kde3/bin/startprint'."The command for the widget is 'opt/kde3/bin/startprint %U'.The file opt/kde3/bin/startprint no longer exists.What additional information, if any, might be needed, and what can be done to get this widget working again?
On openSUSE 11.3 I was using remmina as a replacement for tsclient. After upgrading to openSUSE 11.4 (Did a complete new install) Remmina only seems to support SSH connections. All other protocols like RDP, NX and VNC are missing. I got FreeRDP and rdesktop etc. Installed and can connect to RDP sessions from the terminal.

I just updated Java and when I checked in my plugins for SeaMonkey, Java is not listed, not even IcedTea. When I looked at FireFox's plugins, the only Java listed was IcedTea.

Anyway, these are the java's installed:
