OpenSUSE Hardware :: How To Locate Device Name
Dec 17, 2009
Got an external harddisk and when inserting it into my desktop running openSUSE 11.2, dolphin will recognise it as /media/testing. Wanted to rename the device label from "testing" to "Backup". Googled and understand the way to do it is to issue this command e2label device new_label Mounting the external harddisk and issuing the above command returns
e2label: Is a directory while trying to open /media/testing/
Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock. Without mounting the external harddisk and issuing the above command returns
e2label: No such file or directory while trying to open /media/testing/
Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock. The command lsusb returns Bus 001 Device 005: ID 1058:1010 Western Digital Technologies, Inc. How can I figure out the device name (/dev/sdx) of this external harddisk?

I had installed fluxbox into my openSUSE 11.3 installation and wanted to add the package - xcompmgr
However I google, just can't locate it.
Is there anyway to locate packages specifically for openSUSE 11.3?
By the way, I've also tried :
- Webpin
- software.opensuse.org: Download openSUSE 11.3

I've install virtualbox and got it working.In KDE, the normal Alt-F2 -> virtualbox will start virtualbox. However, when I login to openbox or fluxbox, I am unable to get virtualbox started.Curious, re-login into KDE and virtualbox can be started as normal.However, in konsole, when I try to locate virtualbox, I am unable to locate it.Any idea how to locate and start virtualbox in fluxbox, openbox?

I use Audacity quite a lot for conversion of a voice recorder, to convert WMA to FLACWhen I used it Mar 24 it worked, when used it Mar 26 it didn't.I used the locate pointed it to libavcodec.so.52 like it had there & it tells me it can't find it! At first I thought it was an update I'd done from the Packman reposonly when I went to Yast to revert only the most recent update was in there, no prior versions. Yet I Know that ffmpeg was among the updates it was blue when I did it then.Other distro's don't have this problem only Suse who or where or what should I do so that Audacity works in Suse again?

I had a play with Linux some while ago, but could never find one that worked with my computer. I know have one that worked, well so far. Haven't sorted out the printer as yet though. I am trying to locate the application for links onto the desktop. eg. Want to put Opera browser linked to the desktop, or have to locate the application for things to work.

I was just able to buy a new laptop and everything is going ok except there is no sound coming from the speakers only the headphones (hda ATI SBx00 Azalia Intel HDA) and I found this useful post ([ubuntu] No sound with hp 6735s, ATI SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) - Ubuntu Forums) except there is no modprobe.conf file in my modprobe.d directory.

I had some issues with my touchpad on my Dell Laptop Latitude E6510.I found the site "linux.dell.com" which is an OSS site for Dell products, Drivers, firmware, etc.Index of /repo/community.I followed the instructions on their site to add the repo to my system. When I run the 'wget' command that it tells me to run, it seems like everything goes fine. But I can't see the repo in YaST > Software Repositories. I ran the command on Friday last week so I don't have the exact output from which I ran this command the first time.

I went into Yast and disabled the SYSLOG service, ignoring the warning of which services would be affected, I went ahead anyway and stopped it. Sure enough, a handful of other services stopped as well.Now I have almost recovered the PC from this foolish mistake of mine, the only problem I seem to be stuck with is I am now unable to locate the computer on my LAN by hostname ... does anyone know which service I should restart please (if it helps, the computer can resolve DNS names such as Google.com OK)?

I ran a firmware test, after I discovered a bad memory stick on a 1 gb stick. Replaced my memory stick and just for grins ran a firmware test and I don't understand this:[Fail] Failed to locate HPET base [Fail] OS/2 memory hole test-The memory map has a memory hole between 15mb & 16mb.
Re-ran MEMTEST just to make sure my new memory was fine, no errors.My Linux OS appears to be running slower on boot-up than normal, What documentation there is on the internet on HPET is over my head.I ran SMART on the both drives. They were good. So I am a little stumpted.

Suse 11.4 32bit. Formerly when I plugged in the first USB device it would be identified as /dev/sdb, my primary SATA drive being /dev/sda. The second USB device as /dev/sdc and so on. That has now changed so that the first USB device is /dev/sdc, second one /dev/sdd etc. This causes havoc with several backup scripts. How can I revert to previous assignments?

I am trying to install a 11.3 virtual machine through Xen on a 11.3 installation. I am trying to install from the opensuse DVD. I get to this point, setting up everything (I can only do paravirtualization) Then the DVD spins for a little while and after that I am returned this error message "device 0 vif could not be connected opensuse....."
I tried a bunch of different settings in the previous screen and I always end up with this error I googled around and it seem to be a problem in different distros but I could not spot a solution at all

In my YaST Network Settings (11.3), I see an entry labelled "Unknown Network Device" how to remove the confusion? The Overview tab also correctly lists my three known network devices (listed below), as does the Hardware Information utility. This is the output of lspci, and as far as I can tell, is accurate and complete. So what has YaST seen that it can't identify?
Code:
00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 82845 845 [Brookdale] Chipset Host Bridge (rev 11)
00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82845 845 [Brookdale] Chipset AGP Bridge (rev 11)
00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) USB UHCI Controller #1 (rev 01)
00:1d.1 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) USB UHCI [Code].....

I'm trying to mount my NAS device via NFS with suse 11.1, but up to now it failed. The NAS does support NFS, but it requires a UID and a user name and up to now I could not figure out the correct nfs mount options for that.
If I just make mount 192.168.0.2:/nas1 /mnt a get the error message "mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting 192.168.0.2:/nas1". So can somebody please tell me the correct options for user name and user id which the mount should use. And, preferable the correct entry for the etc/fstab file to make this mount being executed automatically during startup. I studied the mount(8) and nfs manpages several times, but I do still have no idea how to make it.

Still getting the "cdrecord has no permission to open the device" error when trying to burn an iso image to a DVD-RW.
I did yet another clean install of openSUSE 11.2 64 on my desktop computer, did updates, added Nvidia and Packman repos (it's not a repo problem as I tried it several times on a totally clean install), added codecs and stuff as advised by caf.
I updated the DVD drive firmware earlier today.
My user is a member of ALL groups.
Drive is an LG GH22NSS50 (sata)
It all works (with the same DVD-RW) under winxp on the same machine.
Is it HAL or something else that blocks permission to devices?
I'm really getting sick to death of this problem, and would be happy just to get rid of anything blocking permissions to the DVD drive.

I did a fresh install of 11.2 (giving OpenSUSE a try after being on Ubuntu for years). I then enabled the community and packman repos. Now, I have noticed that the eject button that normally appears on the Device Notifier plasmoid is gone. I can still click on where that button should be and the device (CD in this case) will still eject. It's just that the button is "invisible."

I am having problems with my touchpad on my dv7 notebook, that I can not resolve... so I thought it would be a good idea to update the gpointing-device-settings that came with the opensuse 11.3 repositories (version 1.3.1-1.2 too old maybe)
So I downloaded the source files but when I try to ./configure, I have some errors telling my that my gtk+ and gnome-settings-daemon versions are older (that is not true, I check them and they are newer)
Here is the ./configure output:
Code:
damususe:/home/sebadamus/Downloads/gpointing-device-settings-1.5.1 # ls
aclocal.m4 configure libgpointing-device-settings.pc.in modules
autogen.sh configure.ac ltmain.sh NEWS
ChangeLog COPYING m4 po
[Code]....
Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix.
Alternatively, you may set the environment variables GNOME_SETTINGS_DAEMON_CFLAGS
and GNOME_SETTINGS_DAEMON_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details.

I know that there is support for this, but i can't seem to find any appropriate tools. Let's say my widget is at 192.168.1.111; i need to open a terminal window talking to it. Then i can control the things connected to it (it is a bus converter). oS 11.1, KDE 3.5, various machines.

I'm using OpenSuse 11.4 (x86_64) with KDE 4.
It's not possible to mount external USB (ntfs) disks with a non-root user using the Device Notifier or Dolphin. The error is:
Could not mount the following device: MyBook 2
org.freedesktop.UDisks.Error.PermissionDenied: Authentication is required
It is a permission problem; running Dolphin under root and clicking the USB disk mounts it without problems. The same should be possible to an ordinary user. The Update Applet does not work for the same reason (I can only install updates using yast).
Of course, I googled the error and there were a number of possible solutions, which I all tried. That includes allowing the action in the policy and adding the user in AdminIdentities local-authority. The file /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.udisks.policy contains "yes" for every option. Needless to say it doesn't make sense and I'm out of options.

OpenSuse 11.4 32bit KDE 4.6.0
When I plug in my 8 GB SanDisk Cruzer USB stick into my desktop box, the KDE Device Notifier fails to recognize it. It will recognize every other USB stick. "fsck" reports no errors. I can mount it manually. I can read and write to it. The Device Notifier on my netbook recognizes it. So does another desktop box. By the way this started recently so I suspect some software update.

this weekend I updated the OS on my laptop from OS 10.3 to 11.2.Most things worked fine ... and quickly ... but I have issues with some USB devices.Printers and everthing that works like a Memory Stick, HD (camera, mobile phone) are OK. But after the update to 11.2 I can neither use my scanner anymore nor my Garmin GPS device. Both devices are listed with 'lsusb' correctly. But applications are not able to find/access them.
For the GPS device I do not know how to do more tests. The application (gpsman) that worked fine with 10.3 does not find it anymore. The Scanner is detected by Xsane or Skanlite and also the driver can be installed with Yast when plugged in. But a test fails with "sane_start: Error during Device I/O". 'sane-find-scanner' also lists the device correctly. As a normal user it complains that there is no write access for usblib to the usb device. As root this error does not appear. It can be avoided temporarily by setting chmod 777 to all /dev/bus/usb entries. Then 'sane-find-scanner' does not show any errors.
But the applications do not work.
I already added the normal user to the "lp" group as shown in the /etc/udev/rules.d/55-libsane.rules and tried to give access to the usb-devices in /etc/fstab .... all without success. As I have two USB devices (Scanner, GPS) that worked fine with 10.3 but are not an external HD (or similar), I assume that someting has changed with the handling of USB devices from 10.3 to 11.2.

I need to capture from my webcam. It has a mic too.I can specify video input device as /dev/video0.I specified input audio device as /dev/dsp2 ( OSS device, corresponding to USB Webcam), Now VLC throws an error, "VLC is unable to open the MRL 'alsa:///dev/dsp2'. Check the log for details".Thinking it wants an alsa device, I specify device as /dev/snd/pcmC2D0c. (got it from kinfocenter and dolphin). Now again an error, "VLC is unable to open the MRL 'alsa:///dev/snd/pcmC2D0c'. Check the log for details.".I try with any device, the same error. I have added myself to audio device so that I can read/write to the mentioned devices.I see no way of switching VLC to use OSS. And I see no information (documentation on net) on it's expected device listing for audio.
