OpenSUSE Install :: Root Sends Reboot Signal?

May 26, 2010

My server is opensuse 11.1 I recently wrote a small script to quickly shut down or reboot my server (I needed this because I need to close an application manually before shutting down. The shutdown line in the script was: /sbin/shutdown -r now When I tested the script (as root) from the console terminal, It worked just fine but after reboot strange things started to happen if I logged in as root - while the mouse works, the keyboard freezes (rebooting the server does not help). While I can still use console terminal, if I try to start any application that requires root permission or log in as root from my sftp client then I will get an error on the server that says; broadcast message from root (time & date), the system is going down for reboot now! I have since commented out level 6 in my inittab, so that now when root sends a reboot signal and It shows the message about going to reboot, it does not actually go into reboot anymore because of the commented out line but that is ofcourse not an healthy way to go about it.

Ubuntu :: Thunderbird Sends Mail Only When Started By Root?

Dec 23, 2010

I have 2 email accounts set up in Thunderbird - one is gmail and the other was given me by our server admins few years ago. Everything works fine on windows but when I try to send something from the second account (not gmail) in ubuntu it says that password is incorrect. Ive double checked all settings and seems like everything set correct. Now the most interesting part: when I set up this account as root (gksu thunderbird and then do same as I did under my account) everything works perfect.

I found only one thread at this forum with same issue and sure it's not solved [URL]..

OpenSUSE Install :: Receive A Signal Until The Boot Stage Reaches The KDM?

Jun 10, 2010

I have the computer hooked up to a TV via HDMI. The resolution of the booting process is set to 1280x720, and then KDM goes to the correct 1360x768.

Sometimes when I boot, the TV does not receive a signal until the boot stage reaches the KDM. I do not know how to reproduce this exactly.

OpenSUSE Install :: Scriplet Failed, Signal 11 When Trying To Update Packages In Yast?

Sep 2, 2010

I'm running OpenSuse 11.1 (this may be the thing that causes me to finally update ) with KDE 4.4 (specifically, 4.4.4 release 5). Recently (maybe the past month or so... give or take a week or two or so... first time I really remember it happening is when I realized they changed the repository for KDE 4.4 from factory to stable and switched them) >90% of the things I try to install via YAST fails with the following error... this example is me trying to upgrade avidemux from the Packman repository.

Code:
Error: RPM failed: warning: /var/cache/zypp/packages/Packman_Repository/x86_64/avidemux-2.5.3-4.pm.5.1.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 9a795806 error: %post(avidemux-2.5.3-4.pm.5.1.x86_64) scriptlet failed, signal 11
Oddly enough, the main avidemux package threw the error, but the avidemux-qt4 package didn't.
I've tried doing

OpenSUSE :: KMail Sends It's Authentication String?

Feb 23, 2010

I just installed my version of 11.2 and am slowly setting up the software I need to make my Windows box an expensive paperweight. I recently set up my KMail to receive mail on my POP3 acct. I only recently had reason to send an email to myself at work to remind me to do something. When I hit send this is what I got:

[code]...

And it was in the clear. hmmmm. Is this how KMail sends it's authentication string? I have never really looked at SMTP or POP packets so maybe they all send them like this but I was a bit shocked when it came up like that. What if someone had been looking over my shoulder?

OpenSUSE Install :: Fresh Install 11.4 Blocks At Splash Screen On Reboot

Jun 30, 2011

I ordered a SuSE 11.4 installation DVD from an online Linux Distro distributer that I've used before with no problems. I did this rather than burn my own DVD from the website. I thought that I might perform a fresh install of SuSE 11.4 on this Dell 1420 Laptop that is currently running Ubuntu 11.04.

Note, this is a completely fresh install, not a side-by-side installation with Ubuntu; I followed the installation sequence that completely repartitions the entire disk for SuSE, and accepted all of the suggested options regarding logon, etc.

Everything goes well ... sort of. The first install didn't reboot correctly, i.e., the set-up that is supposed to run after the initial install never happened and I had to manually power-down the machine and restart from the "safe mode." Needless to say, that didn't work as expected. So, I re-install, from scratch, trying different options: for instance, instead of LVM, I decide to have an un-encrypted partition scheme and accept the "obvious" options ... thinking that the LVM options interacted badly with the install. Eventually I get the installation to proceed correctly, or so it appears: it goes though the entire sequence, including the re-boot, building the default image, etc.

I test this image by removing the DVD, power-cycling the machine, and all looks good, so I begin the process of installing software updates, etc. Being paranoid, I re-boot the machine, and all restarts correctly, etc.

Now here's the annoying thing. The next day, I power the machine on, and it locks at the splash screen. By the way, these are the exact symptoms that I experienced with the bogus/incomplete installations. The boot sequence proceeds up to the splash screen and waits forever.

So, in sum: I spent inordinate amounts of time attempting to install this software, carefully following the instructions provided by the installer. In every instance, after leaving the machine off for a day or so and rebooting, I am met with a splash screen that sits forever. Needless to say, I am extremely reluctant to repeat another day of software installation to only have to re-start with no assurances of success. Either I go back to ugly Ubuntu (which has always worked out of the box, by the way), or I look at other options. I was hoping to use SuSE, but I really don't care which distro is on that machine as long as it works and it provides TeX, R, Emacs, Scheme, and a few other software packages that I'm sure are of no interest to your customer base.

OpenSUSE Install :: 11.3 64bit Install Freezes After Reboot During Autoconfiguration - GeForce 9300 Chipset (MCP7A)

Sep 15, 2010

I just wanted to install openSUSE 11.3 64bit. Installation works fine until reboot request. It switches to console, saying that it tries to load without reboot, screen becomes black, i got a cursor with animated wait-symbol and then it freezes. Can't move the mouse, no reaction on keyboard inputs, HDD-led not blinking. If I reset my PC and boot the new installation, it says that an error occurred and asks me to complete the unfinished installation. It starts auto-configuration and freezes again at about 3%. I tried again and some time it did not start the graphical yast but in textmode. The freeze came at the same position, but it posted many lines on console with error messages. I could not scroll, so I saw only parts of it, saying kernel panic and many addresses.

I guessed that it has to do with my chipset and graphics card, it is a nVidia GeForce 9300 chipset (MCP7A) with onboard graphics. It works fine with openSUSE 11.2 64bit by the way, but it was not supported in earlier versions than 11.2. So I tried to install it with proprietary drivers. I started the installation again and added the nVidia repository and a Packman repo and selected the driver which works fine on 11.2. Error was same as above. Next I tried an openSUSE 11.3 32bit Live CD that came with some PC magazine and lay around and it is booting and works fine!

This was confusing to me, so I wanted to try the 64bit version of the live CD. Which was again not booting. It freezes at some part, maybe when it tries to start X. But it also freezes booting with 'nomodeset' (found it somewhere here), in VESA mode and even in textmode! So i guess it's not X what causes the freeze. But it is sometime at the end of booting up, as far as I can say. I would like to use the 64bit version but I don't know where to search for the problem. I checked every checksum before burning, so a broken media should not be the reason

OpenSUSE Install :: Panel Bar Changes After Reboot

Mar 22, 2010

I use the Air openSUSE theme for my panel bar, etc., yet, after rebooting (or starting up the computer after it has been shut down), the panel bar comes up as if it were configured with some kind of black theme, which I do not like - you can still see things like icons for windows, launcher, etc. except for the clock, since its font color is black.

How do I put a stop to this? I have tried everything I can think of, customized settings, different themes, and so on, yet I get the same results after booting into openSUSE.I am using the openSUSE 11.2 KDE version.

OpenSUSE Install :: Reboot Hangs At Many Points?

Jul 1, 2009

Have openSUSE 11.1 and (AFAIK) KDE 4 on an older notebook; worked OK for weeks, then booting became a problem and the OS seemed to go to sleep between keystrokes: now the cursor stops blinking, the clock stops running, and nothing happens after clicking a radio button until the mouse moves. Am now 25 minutes into a reboot, hung at "Unmounting file systems" but it also hung for a while when changing run levels. Is this related to the stability problems with 11.1 I've read about? Possibly KDE? Where would I adjust a config to use kde 3.5 rather than 4?

OpenSUSE Install :: 11.2 - Screen Resolution Way Off On Reboot

Jan 12, 2010

I am installing 11.2 on an older machine, Athlon 2800+, GeForce 6800, 1 GB RAM. Install goes fine until try to reboot to the OS and just get massive garbage on the screen. Can't see anything just lines crossing the screen, it seems almost like the resolution is way off but don't know how to change that since I can't see anything. I tried two different install disks to make sure not the problem and got the same thing with both. I tried installing both KDE and GNOME on separate occasions and still same problem. I have used the same install disk to put this on an even older machine and that went fine. I do have windows 7 installed on another partition. I'm fairly new to linux but I'm learning.

OpenSUSE Install :: Reboot Directly To Another System?

Jul 7, 2010

in a previous version of openSUSE (I think it was v10.3), there was a possibility to directly/automatically start another OS after exiting (rebooting) openSUSE. This could be done through "right-clicking" on the Reboot (Restart) button from the KDE's log-off dialog and choosing the OS you wanted to be started after the restart. Please, does anybody know if this is possible in openSUSE 11.2 (KDE 4.4)? PS: I know that GRUB enables that, but I prefer a "GUI way" rather than using command line and editing configuration files

OpenSUSE Install :: Re-initialize Soundcard After Reboot (11.3)?

Jan 2, 2011

I have the problem that for working properly my soundcard needs sort of re-initialisation after every reboot (11.3, 64 bit). I have to change a setting in the sound module of yast that causes the yast to rerun its final steps. What is not working otherwise is audio playback from a usb TV-stick (recording is no problem, same as playing an audio/video file). any idea what might be the problem? how to call the final steps of the sound module of yast from the command line, I could at least put that call into boot.local to avoid having to call yast.

OpenSUSE Install :: Strange Behaviours After Every Reboot?

May 11, 2011

I hope I open the thread in the correct section.I have just installed OpenSuse 11.4 with XFCE environment on my Acer Aspire 5738Z.Everytime I boot, I experience the following "strange" behaviours:1 - I need to reconfigure manually the "capture device" with Alsamixer to change it from "micro" to "internal micro". Even though I restore a taylored asound file with alsactl, as I used to do when I used Ubuntu, every time I restart my computer, the capture is on "micro" again.2 - In the panel, I need to remove the Thunderbird launcher. I remove it everytime I log in on Suse, but it comes back after every reboot.3 - Skype and Pidgin start automatically, even though they no longer are in my list of apps to start automatically after log in. (They once were, but then two instances of each tried to start at the same time).Besides, I have another problem with the action button, the one that enables to shut down, restart, hibernate, etc. When I click on it, I will immediately be logged off.
