OpenSUSE Install :: Nfs Weirdness With Upgrade To 11.3?
Jul 16, 2010
just did an upgrade of my Sony Vaio laptop from 11.2 to 11.3 all seemed to be going smoothly got to where it boots for the first time and it got to the splash screen and hung rebooted and tried the failsafe mode it chugged along telling me each step it was going through till it said it was starting NFS Client Services it hung, but the cursor was still blinking and the keyboard was still responsive so I waited and I waited and, well, you know finally it said nfs connection timed out and it hung again and hung again the 11.2 system was auto-mounting 3 nfs shares so I waited some more this took about 10 minutes but it eventually timed out and booted and ran fine 11.3 looks nice!

[openSUSE 11.1, kernel 2.6.27.45-0.1-Default, Gnome 2.26.3] I have a problem where I have an external USB drive which mounts at boot, with /home aboard it along with several data-only partitions, and if I try to add another USB drive *after* boot, the system changes the device IDs previously given to the original drive. The already running sdb now becomes sdc. If a user or processes are attached to /home when this occurs they are left in the twilight zone and stuff starts crashing. An added weirdness is the newly added drive isn't stealing the sdb ID, the added drive becomes sdd instead, and nothing at all is left at the sdb ID.
Note:
- System boots from sda, a non-USB drive with the system as well as /swap onboard, that should be uninvolved with the problem.
- Among the 4 partitions of the boot-mounted USB drive there are 2 lux-encrypted partitions (ext3). One is /home (originally encrypted under 10.3 and added back after machine upgraded to 11.1) and another being a data directory (later encrypted under 11.1).
- The problem _may_ occur only when the additional added drive is also lux-encrypted, but this may or may not be always true as I have limited other USB stuff to test with, most of it is also lux-encrypted.

I installed WordPress 3.x on my localhost/Apache server, but I can neither install plugins nor update anything.This happens with both the stable WP3.0 version and the 3.1 beta. When I try to search the Plugin Directory from the WP dashboard, I get this message: An Unexpected HTTP Error occurred during the API request.When I run an update, I get a page asking for the login credentials for the ftp user ("To perform the requested action, WordPress needs to access your web server. Please enter your FTP credentials to proceed. If you do not remember your credentials, you should contact your web host."). Since I'm part of the 'ftp' group on the system, I enter my system login information, click Proceed -- and get a blank page that does nothing.
I've gone to YaST, and I see that the system ftp user has a 6-character password (which may or may not be mine). I'm afraid to change it and risk screwing up other ftp-related functions. I'm running openSUSE 11.3, and am obsessive about updating. I will note that I have an old 2WIRE router that often requires me (including Zypper repos) to enter IP addresses instead of DNS-based URLs to successfully download stuff. Not sure if this is related, but just in case...

first time user of Fedora 12 ( and lovin it ) and theres only one thing thats not working... When I resume from hibernation my graphics in my session become screwy ( sorry I can be more technical ) They become all white-ish and staticy, quite un-usable. It varies from time to time if the graphics are usable at all on resume. After a reboot things are fine. Or even better a log out then log in, things are back to normal. There is no difference when turning Compiz on or off. There are no errors in X log, and there is no X conf file on my system..
SPECS:
Dell Inspiron 1501
3GB RAM
ATI 200M Xpress
AMD Turrion 64-x2
P.S. > Someone said I need to enable an option in " ACPI-CONFIG " called write_graphics_to_memory. I cant find any reference to it anywhere, aswell as that I cant find anyway to see/edit ACPI settings..Dont really wana go back to Mandriva as I'm lovin FC12 sooo much. But Ive been trying to solve this for days and Im pulling my hair out.

I just found some strange behaviour with xrandr. I've got a dual screen setup (both 1680x1050) on which I want to span my desktop. I'm using the ati (amd) proprietary driver from livna to do this. I edited my xorg.conf to include the 'Virtual' line under screen.
When I add this to the "Screen" section:
The driver breaks and I get a resolution of 1400x900 and still not the option to span my desktop.
When I change that to read Virtual 1680 2100
It all works fine but I have to have my desktops on top of each other.

I'm running an up-to-date installation of Lucid, and have come upon a little problem. It seems that applications are having trouble communicating with gnome-keyring-daemon.
When I connect to wireless networks -- even ones that are in the network manager -- it always asks me for a password.
Gwibber is crashing because it can't connect to the gnome keyring daemon.
And when I open the Passwords and Encryption Keys utility (on the Accessories menu), I get the error: "Couldn't communicate with key ring daemon."
I have verified that the daemon is starting up when I log in, that all of the appropriate keyring-related login items (certificate and key storage, secret service, & SSH key agent) are in place, and that the keyring works in other accounts on my machine. I have tried deleting my extant keyrings, but that has produced any success. And when I kill and restart the keyring daemon once I'm already logged in, the problem seems to abate.
I don't know if it matters, but for OS X compatibility purposes, I'm running as a UID under 1000.

I have two versions of Natty that I'm running on my EeePC 900. Both are clean installs. As they're both installed on removable flash drives, I expect a certain degree of sluggishness. One installation is the full version with Unity. It boots in about 25 seconds or so, which is slower than Lucid on the same machine, but not too bad.
The other installation was a command-line install with Openbox and GDM for logging in. You'd think this would be quicker, but it's taking a full minute to boot. When it gets to the GDM login screen, I can't see the mouse pointer. If I move the mouse into the lower right-hand corner, I can see the invisible pointer hover over the shutdown button and then I can select it. Alternatively, if I press return (to select my login) and then move the mouse vigorously, a pointer will eventually appear, but it's a large X and not the standard pointer.

I am experiencing a problem which I lack the knowledge to crack at this stage. I run a home server (2.6.28-19-server #64-Ubuntu SMP) which firewalls and proxies for my LAN (including 2 linux boxes, a vista box and a win7 box).Most of the time this works well. Very occasionally we will run into a website which will not display at all on the LAN boxes.Examples: for a long time I could hit the forums.egosoft.com site but not the egosoft.com site. Now my wife can't hit www.boden.co.uk. I'm pretty sure that the problem is in the Squid3 config. solation testing:Run the vista box direct into the ADSL modem: get the website.Hit the website using Lynx through SSH on the server box: get the website.Try to get the site on a browser (have tested with IE8 and chrome) on any of the win boxes through the proxy - no joy. DNS error.Firefox on Ubuntu desktop from the linux client boxes gives an error message about an unrecognised form of compression.I can only assume that I've misconfigured the Squid3 proxy in some way - it works for 99% of sites but fails utterly on others.

I've never seen it before and its entirely possible that I may have done something to my system to cause it. Basically, when I open any new terminal window I have a '$' sign instead of the usual blah@blah etc. Also, the cursor keys don't work

I had a working setup of opensuse 11.0, dual booting using grub installed on the home partition. I tried to install 11.3 from the coverdisc of linux format (LXFDVD136). It took 5 goes before the install succeeded. Mostly stopping at the "boot installed system" stage. I put 11.3 on a formatted partition in the same place as 11.0, and put grub there too.
The system will not boot without assistance. I have to use a supergrub disc and tell it which partition to boot. If I use boot linux from supergrub I get the Grub error message 15 file not found. Supergrub CAN find windows and it boots with the win command. Automatic and yast initiated attempts to check for software upgrades are blocked by the application with pid 4587.

I successfully partitioned my desktop with Gparted and made it into an XP/Ubuntu dual boot.
Now i'm trying to do the same with my netbook (eee pc 1000he), and the existing partitions look funny:
How should I change this to prepare for installing Ubuntu? Can I just install to the unallocated space on the extended partition? I don't need optimal efficiency here, I just need to know where to install Ubuntu for a workable dual boot.
It's confusing to me that Windows is on an extended partition, and also that /dev/sda2 has the boot flag (this drive contains nothing but two undeletable folders titled "amd 64" and "i386"). This set-up is the result of a Windows re-install at a sketchy computer shop.

It's time to bite the bullet before I run out of security update support in December. I also have a sda that is starting to show signs of possibly failing soon when I run smartctl -H. What I want to do is mirror my existing sda with pmagic and upgrade to 11.3. How much trouble will I have going the upgrade route over doing a clean install and trying to import all my Thunderbird/firefox etc data to it with 11.3 and KDE 4.X?

I have followed this article SDB:System upgrade - openSUSE to upgrade from 11.2 to 11.3 using the CLI. After installing I cannot boot into my GUI. I am using an NVIDIA card 7800. It will attempt to got to the log on screen, but will remain in a black scree with just mouse activity. Not sure what the issue is.

I have a VPS with SUSE 11 64-bit installed on it.This as it turns out is 11.1.On looking at the repository it has none listed, so getting updates is kinda hard. I added the 11.1 repository, or what I thought was it, but it tells me it can't update as it needs an x64 installation.I've tried changing the repositories to 11.2, but get the same message, that it needs an x64 installation.I'm aware it's best to upgrade with a fresh install off DVD, but this is something I can't do with a VPS.
1) Is it possible to upgrade to 11.2 or 11.3 from 11.1 .. I know it's not overly advised, but is there a way to do it?
2) What's the actual requirements for these or what repositories should I be pointing to? Because, I'm already on 64-bit, so I don't get why they wouldn't work.
3) Is there any issues with staying on 11.1? And if I do, then what repositories should I be using?

I have been using OpenSuse 10.3 for years. Now decided to upgrade to 11.3 (current latest).My current box connected and configured with so many peripherals and software:
1) DLink wireless router,
2) HP Printer (networked),
3) Cannon scanner through USB,
4) Zoiper VOIP telephony application,
5) etc. etc.
my question is whether it is recommended to upgrade straightforward from 10.3 to 11.3 ? Is there any known issues that I might be encountered after upgrade installation (e.g. loosing any previous data, configuration etc.).

With upgrade from 10.2 to 11.3. I burned the iso and chose upgrade option (because when I installed last time it didn't set up the boot management properly to boot into winxp, so I eventually had to reinstall windows).
Upgrade seemed to work ok, but when it first booted it couldn't load the filesystems properly. I mostly fixed this by editing fstab. Now it boots fully into runlevel 5 and congratualtes me, but I'm left at the command line with no GUI (i use Gnome).

I'm currently running opensuse 11.3 with Gnome and I downloaded the 11.4 iso yesterday and was considering doing an over-the-top upgrade. But I've been browsing through the forums and it looks like a lot of people have been having issues with 11.4.
So what is the general consensus on 11.4 so far? Is it recommended to stay with 11.3? If I do try to upgrade, what types of "gotcha's" am I likely to experience.
And since 11.4 comes with LibraOffice but 11.3 has OpenOffice, will it automatically remove the old and install the new or should I manuualy uninstall OO first?

I have 2 machines running 11.1, but using 2 diff KDE repo sets . . .
On the first, I am using /KDE:/43:/openSUSE_11.1 as listed under the KDE 4.3.x section of the KDE repo's page. The installed KDE version is 4.3.3-3 but yesterday this repo was updated to 4.3.4-1. The corresponding repo for 11.2 now also has 4.3.4-1.
On the second, I am using /KDE:/KDE4:/Factory:/Desktop/openSUSE_11.1. Installed is 4.3.3-128, the most current. This is the same version as in the corresponding 11.2 repo.
IIRC (and I very well may not) for those of us who wanted to go to 4.2 (and later, 4.3) it was first advised to use the /KDE:/KDE4:/Factory set, but later it was advised to switch to the /KDE:/43:/ set.
In any event, since 4.3.3 is officially released by KDE and considered stable while 4.3.4 is not, it would appear the upgrade path should use /KDE:/KDE4:/Factory/11.2 (which is counter-intuitive to me, given the "factory" nomenclature; on the other hand, the "43:" section is not accurately described, so perhaps that's the problem).

I eventually got round to moving my AMDX4 machien from 11.1 to 11.2. I have done this to a coupl eof other similar machines so was not expecting any problems.
However I now have a problem. In runlevel 5 I have an xdm logon screen, but neither the keyboard or mouse work. I can ssh in from another machine and changing to runlevel 3 i have a keybopard and can log in. But sax2 does not respond to keyboard or mouse, so the machine is not really usable.
What package should I reinstall? Or what else can I do?
PS Not attempting to run gnome, kde or dfce; plain fvwm and X
