In OpenSuse 11.2 it was possible to pass the ip configuration on the kernel command line and the kernel would configure the interface (eth0 in my case) properly. The ifcfg-eth0 needed to be configured as 'static' and 'auto' with the other parameters absent. The kernel arg would look like: ip=<client-ip>:<server-ip>:<gw-ip>:etc:etc
This no longer works or works differently in OpenSuse 11.3, despite the fact that ip_pnp seems to be compiled into the kernel. Is there some way to enable this in 11.3? I just want to do basic static routing with the parameters passed directly to the kernel instead of hard-coded in the ifcfg-eth0.
p.s. in 11.3 when I try to do the ip_pnp method the eth0 does come up but none of the routing is correct. There is no default gateway and no ip is assigned even though I am passing the kernel args properly.
I was thinking of trying out the UEFI support that HP has in my laptop BIOS in the next few days. My reasons is that I get a custom boot logo... and (hopefully) a better boot-speed. What is the current state of affairs with the openSuSE UEFI/EFI install support on a empty hdd for x86_64 does anyone know? (badly worded I apologize) This may seem naive but I have struggled to answer this with most posts being about Mac's for obvious reasons.
Specifically, Do I have to have any custom knowledge on formatting the HDD with a GPT partitions or does the installer do this for you? Secondly, How well does the UEFI bootloader tie in with the config tools in YaST2? (I would like to have UEFI but if it turns into some headache in setting up the boot area by hand each time the kernel updates I will forget it.) I can safely say this will be a machine with only openSuSE installed as an OS, no need for any others or any dual-boot problems. This isn't overly urgent and I will dedicate (at least) a whole weekend to tweaking once I buy a new disk and install openSuSE on it. If nobody knows then I will dive in head first and report how I find it and any problems (and severity).
Just tried to test ea support by running setfattr on a test file and received an error message to the effect that this function is not supported. Is that corrects and if so how do I turn on ea support?
I want to experiment with hugepages support in KVM. I have added <memoryBacking> <hugepages/> </memoryBacking> to my domain xml.
Also I create the directory /hugepages and mounted it using mount -t hugetlbfs hugetlbfs /hugepages/ and created huge pages using echo 4096 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages
Now, when starting the domain from virt-manager, I get the message: libvirtError: internal error hugetlbfs filesystem is not mounted What is the recommended way to setup hugepages in opensuse 11.3?
i just downloaded openSUSE 11.4,i used to burn the .iso file to a cd and then boot using the CD. recently my cd/dvd writer crashed and i was wondering could i boot from my pen drive in such cases,i also prepared a bootable pen drive but in my BIOS settings there is no option visble for such booting.
Frostwire and Nicotine + they both have outdated RPM's for 10.x that dose not support 11.3. They have newer .deb files. What would I have to do to install a .deb file. Navigate to the file using CD (change dir) and then? Model: Toshiba L505-ES3045 (Intel i3, 4gb Memory, OpenSuse 11.3/Windows 7, Intel HD Graphics) OS: OpenSUSE 11.3 Prior OS's: Mac OS/X11/Fink/Windows XP/Vista/7.
I have been trying to upgrade (ended up trashing and reinstalling) from 11.1 to 11.2. I selected French language with UK keyboard. This option seems in the end to just default to the French keyboad. Reinstalled with UK lang and UK keyboad which is acceptable to me but I then find a big problem. How do I set the compose key so I can enter accented characters etc. (� � � ...) Prior to 11.2 this was some with SAX but SAX support for keyboards appears to have been removed and I believe should be provided by KDE, Gnome, etc.
Does anyone know how to define the compose key in 11.2? I have searched google and the suse forums but found nothing other than something in German that I did not understand. While I could buy a French or perhaps better a Swiss keyboard for the tower this is not a real option for the laptop and on-screen keyboards are useless.
telling me if this behavior of my openSuSE 11.2 installation is normal? I use a 64-Bit openSuSE 11.2 with kernel 2.6.31.x with root partition ext4. After adding and updating from repository kernel:/HEAD/etc to 2.6.34-rc4 I can not boot anymore due to a lack of module ext4. I thought today ext4 is stable and fix built-in in the actual kernel releases, isn't it? The error message at boot time: FATAL: Module ext4 not found. Which is right because in /lib/modules/<kernelversion>/kernel/ there is NO 'fs' subfolder. Isn't the kernel:/HEAD/ repository the official update path to get a newer major kernel? (besides openSuSE's Updates for security reasons) Do you know how I can fix it without self-compiling?
i'm currently using windows vista and want to boot opensuse11.4 from my usb drive but my BIOS doesn't support it. please explain steps to install it on vista hard-disk,i'm getting confused following steps posted on theris website
I am going to install a computer for multi-language support for English and the Korean Hangul written language. I would like to configure the input from the keyboard to switch from English to Korean. I have keyboard with English and Korean and I would like to configure one of the keyboard buttons to switch the input language similar to how Microsoft multi-language support works. What applications and configuration changes are necessary to implement this.
I am impressed with 11.4 and am happy that for the first time ever I don't need to install a kernel patch to support my on-board nVidia graphics. However, the on-board sound no longer works now. I don't know how to set it up in phonon. My device number 0 in phonon is MCP72XE/MCP72P/MCP78U/MCP78S high definition audio, and I assume this is my nVidia on-board sound card. The driver information states snd-hda-intel.
How can I check what is wrong with it? It did work fine on 11.2 right up to the 11.4 installation. I do get system sounds (like the start-up and shut-down sounds), but nothing from any application, e.g., firefox playing a video. Based on the advice from another thread I tried: speaker-test -c2 -l5 -twav This does not produce any sound, but gives the following information: speaker-test 1.0.24.2

I put together a step-by-step guide of how I installed openSUSE 11.1 on my ASUS Eee PC Seashell 1005HA Netbook. I planned on going back and re-installing using my own guide to check for mistakes, etc. but I never seem to get around to it, so I'll just post what I have and let you guys comment if you run into issues. Side notes: This guide assumes you want to wipe out Windows XP and run only openSUSE. Sorry, I'm a Gates hater.
I still haven't figured out how to configure the function keys support for volume controls and wireless. I'm hoping the "eeepc kernel module" mentioned by malcolmlewis here: Suse on my Asus 1005HA - openSUSE Forums will do the trick.
I am installing Ubuntu Server 10.10 on and old Dell Laptop. The network connection is an Xircom PCMCIA card.During install, the computer sees and interacts via the network just fine. For example, I can ping the gateway. Also, the command "lspcmcia" works and show the Xircom card.When I reboot, however, there is no network access, and the "lspcmcia" command is not there. When I try "lspcmcia" the OS helpfully tells me that I can "apt-get" pcmciautils, but, without network access, that fails.I tried adding the install cdrom to apt using "apt-cdrom" and then tried to "apt-get" pcmciautils and it got further, installing some dependencies, but acted like it still was unable to locate the pcmciautils package.
I was wondering - is there any multi touch gesture support in openSuse 11.4? I have enabled multi touch scrolling under the 'Mouse' module in Yast, and it works fine. However, i was wondering if a multi touch gesture set is available - such as pinch zoom, or even custom gestures mapped to keyboard combos - e.g. using a spiral to launch terminal?

I have been using Suse since version 6, now I installed 11.4 64bit - great distro, but still have no PHP5-MSSQL support. Why is that? FC supports it, why not Suse? Is there, maybe, a current 64bit PHP5-MSSQL RPM from custom repository?
Workaround: Is there another way (or even different ways?) to connect to MSSQL server from PHP and if yes
I installed Open Suse 11.3, but no support mp3, mp4, dvd. The question is about openSUSE 11.X Addon NonOss. If I install this addon it has this support?
I'm trying to find out when QME2572 (Qlogic) card became support by the kernel. We have a RHEL 5.1 system that is moving to new hardware, however the kernel at this release doesn't support the new hardware, due to the Qlogic card change. I tired the Redhat KB and Bugzilla. Is there a Kernel change list etc I can search. Never really played around with the kernel too much so I'm just after some pointers for looking up this information. Offically its not supported until Redhat 5.3, I'm trying trying to research kernel info so I can tell the customer they have to upgrade.
I have a HP laptop which can support 1600x900. But after I install ubuntu 9.10 on it, it can only support up to 1280x700. My laptop has a Nvidia graphics card. And i am using GNOME as my desktop environment.
I've been trying to install gd with png support. libpng is installed on my server, but for some reason the png.h file isn't anywhere to be found. So, I can't install gd with png support. I'm a linux dummy, so I'm not sure what I need to do to get the headers installed. I did manage to find libpng rpm. I don't know how to make it install headers.
mutt-1.5.16-36 on opensuse 10.3 lacks SMTP support as shown in mutt -v ("-USE_SMTP"). Does anyone know which version of mutt would have it for opensuse 10.3 and where can I download it from? I don't want to compile from source or use an external program.
I was reading this interesting article Fix Ubuntu Dropping Wireless on Suspend/Hibernate Resume - On The Road with Vicky Lamburn and I look in the /etc//default folder an don't see it can anyone tell where to find this in suse?
I've been running 64-bit openSUSE 11.2 since shortly after it's release, on a quad core AMD Phenom based machine, using KDE as the Desktop. I have a USB-attached "multi-function" printer/scanner/etc., which worked fine with XSane under 11.1. On the same machine, with 11.2, I can still get a scan preview. But when I try a full scan, shortly after it starts, the progress bar stops, then XSane complains about an I/O error.
When I update openSUSE versions, if I can, I keep the old version completely intact, on the same machine. This includes the /home partition, I don't overwrite it. Sure it's a good deal more work to copy over the numerous files needed, but if there are any problems with the new software, it's extremely helpful to have a completely intact old environment for reference. I was able to do this, while updating 11.1 ==> 11.2. Booting the old 11.1 system on the same machine, I haven't encountered any scanning problems.
I haven't given a lot of details, because it's the same hardware, that should "in theory", mostly eliminate the hardware as a possible source of the problem. I'm hoping the problem can be resolved by focusing on any changes in SANE support, or XSANE itself, for USB attached scanners. It could be unrelated, but messages such as these are in /var/log/messages on the 11.2 sys:
Feb 3 17:45:03 toe-heaven kernel: [ 5881.313532] usb 3-1: usbfs: interface 0 claimed by usblp while 'xsane' sets config #1 Feb 3 17:45:03 toe-heaven kernel: [ 5881.313560] usb 3-1: usbfs: process 8214 (xsane) did not claim interface 1 before use
If XSane is doing things in the wrong order, I'm wondering if it would be a problem especially for a combined printer/scanner, or would the problem still occur if the printer and scanner were two physically separate devices? I checked and there are similar messages in /var/log/messages with 11.1. But if it is an error in the sequence in which XSane does things, could it somehow cause problems under 11.2, yet not 11.1? I tried to find anything which might be related to USB device handling, which perhaps could interact. I came across messages such as these in 11.2, but not 11.1:
Feb 4 15:15:10 toe-heaven udev-configure-printer: add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/usb3/3-1/3-1:1.0/usb/lp1 Feb 4 15:15:10 toe-heaven udev-configure-printer: parent devpath is /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/usb3/3-1
Is USB printer handling somehow different under 11.2? With a combined printer/scanner, could there be an interaction? I did some experimenting. I kind'a thought a scan preview was just a scan at low res. So I tried to do full scans, starting with the lowest res., and increasing. I was able to do successful full scans at 100 or 150. But from 200 on up, the higher the res., the shorter the time to get an I/O error. I'd normally use 600 or above, to get what I feel is a good looking scan. At 600 the error report is practically immediate. It's almost as if the error only occurs above a certain threshold, of amount of data per unit time. I should mention, although it's a color scanner, I'm scanning a black and white doc., so using that mode of XSane.
I have not checked for a while but did, before posting this, do a search for multi monitor support with KDE 4.4.4 and found nothing.
From what I understand 11.3 is out sometime next month and KDE 4.4.4 is the KDE environment that will be released with that iteration of SUSe.
About a month ago I read about a number of problems with multiple monitor support under 4.4.4. Primarily these issues seemed to be with no more than 2 monitors. The SUSe 11.2 machine here uses KDE 4.3 runs three monitors (Intel core quad, pair of NVidia PCIe graphics cards). I was wondering whether any of the bugs with this type of configuration have been resolved. From what I understood 4.4.4 worked with problems using Twinview but I was not able to find anything that addressed the configuration of having separate X Screens.
anyone has experiment this? If I install KDE 4.5 on a PC without 3D support kwin crash, if I add a 3D capable video card it works O.o VampirD
