I just decided to learn how to use opensuse(total newbie), I installed 11.4 on my macbook along with os x. At first I used to be able to read the two HFS+ partitions on the laptop after entering the password. But after looking up how to configure the system on the macbook(sound, grahpics....etc) I dunno if I messed up something or what, now I get this error whenever I try to mount the HFS+ partitions( I am still asked for authorization though):
An error occurred while accessing 'Data', the system responded: org.freedesktop.UDisks.Error.Failed:Requested filesystem type is neither wll-known nor in /proc/filesystems nor in /etc/filesystems
I don't understand the results of a simple performance test I ran using two basic scripts (running on a high end server):
perfVar.zsh :
#!/bin/zsh -f MYVAR=`cat $1` for i in {1..10}
[code]...
Performance test result:
> time ./perfVar.zsh BigTextFile > /dev/null ./perfVar.zsh FE > /dev/null 6.86s user 0.32s system 100% cpu 7.177 total > time ./perfCat.zsh BigTextFile > /dev/null ./perfCat.zsh FE > /dev/null 0.01s user 0.10s system 91% cpu 0.118 total
I would have thought that accessing a VARIABLE was way faster than reading a FILE on the file system... Why this result ?Is there a way to optimize the perfCat.zsh script by reducing the number of accesses to the file system ?
i installed kernel 2.6.34 to fix my lid closing issue, and that went great. but now when i go to reinstall my broadcom i get this error. Code: Reading package lists...

I did a fresh installation of OpenSuse 11.4-x64 and everything is working smoothly except for some eps figures. In Opensuse 11.3, fedora or ubuntu these figures open without problems. In 11.4 the same figures show a message "Could not load document". I am trying to attach some example of the figures with this problem but I don't know how to do. All the EPS figures that I can't open have the same beginning.
Same problem as someone else below- my optical drive will not read CDs in SuSE 11.3 (all the latest patches). CDs read fine in Windows, DVDs fine in both.This is a brand new drive, since my old one gave up the ghost last Tuesday (no longer appeared in BIOS)Drive is Samsung SH-S223L, and dmesg gives the following errors:
[ 64.952304] Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 158968 [ 71.651194] sr 6:0:0:0: [sr0] Unhandled sense code [ 71.651198] sr 6:0:0:0: [sr0] Result: hostbyte=DID_OK driverbyte=DRIVER_SENSE
I've been able to get access to our Netgear NAS, I can browse it, copy files etc. just fine. But I don't have "direct access" in as far as, Open Office won't open any files residing on the NAS, neither can I save directly to the NAS form a program and when I get a "Browse for File" form field on a website (eg attachments in GMail etc.), I can't browse to the NAS either. My XP box does do all of this, either through my mapped network drive or even through browsing the network. How can I make openSuse 11.2 use the NAS with my login credentials as if it was a local disk?
1. 11.4 x64. 2. Solaris SMB server. 3. Gigabit LAN 4. mounted shares from that server (fstab entries)
write speed: 80-90-100 MB/s read speed extremely slow: 3-4-5 MB/s (really funny - our administrator shoked, but i'm not fun, i need fast lan for work)But when i reboot to windows 7 - i have 60-70-80 MB/s in both directions. Read and Write - nice.What happened? kernel updated and all last updates is applied (exclude kopete-because i use old kopete with animated tray icon).I have to tried many tunes like: "noatime" "directio" and also in /etc/modprobe.d - put conf file with: options cifs CIFSMaxBufSize=130048
I have a Kingston 16GB Flash Drive ( the storage should show around 14.5 GB I believe). When I right-click, and go to properties, it only shows a maximum size of about 6.5GB. I cleared the files off of it and formatted it, and it still reads as 6.5GB. It's about a year old, but has not been used very much. I used it a few times to boot off of it, and run Linux ( ...just to try new to me distros) but from the looks of it, there are no partitions that I forgot to take off. I haven't even really used it that much since I got it. Where did my storage space go?
I was about to reinstall the opensuse 11.1 since 11.2 was giving me trouble and ran the 'check installation media' and it turned out every disc I burn gives me 'Error Reading Sector 1891680'. This CD-ROM is broken. Looks like there is a problem with installation. I already burned like 5 different DVDs.
I am trying to install the Reading People Tracker release 1.28 in Open Suse 11.2 and, after some solved errors installing external libraries for mathematics, XML and graphical display, I stuck compiling the Reading People Tracker. It shows a lot lot of errors like:
Code: In file included from /usr/include/c++/4.4/string:56, from /usr/include/c++/4.4/bits/locale_classes.h:42, from /usr/include/c++/4.4/bits/ios_base.h:43, from /usr/include/c++/4.4/ios:43, from /usr/include/c++/4.4/istream:40, from /usr/include/c++/4.4/fstream:40, from ../RGB32Image.cc:12: .....
Recently, I had to switch harddrives on one of my servers due to the need for hardware.
However, when I switched back to the original harddrive I got a surprise : Instead of booting normally in OpenSuse 11.3, it booted in the grub shell.
I did a root ( hd0,1) but when I attempted the setup cmd it failed. Thinking that I probably was a configuration error ( nothing was changed - the drive had spent some time in a nice anti static bag ) I booted using a USB key.
To my surprise I got a message stating that parted couldn't read the other partitions ( boot and swap ) and hence I would not be able to edit then. Fortunately, the data partition seemed OK so I can backup the data.
Preferbly, I would like to be able to restore my original system.
On a Linux CD/DVD, there are compressed filesystem images for the live version for KDE or Gnome for example, but they have no extension, but they are clearly an image file ( compressed filesystem images for the live version before installation ) !!
I was wondering, How do I mount these compressed filesystem images, after I copy the ISO content of the CD/DVD on my system .... I want to edit some files or packages and make some changes, like if I want to customize a live version of gnome for example ! ... ( I know you might be tempted to tell me to use KIWI etc to customize etc ..... ) ... but I want to be able to mount the compressed file system image, then edit it for reading and writing while it is in a subdirectory on its own ... i want to open it ! ... is there a way to do this ??? ... these type of files have no extension ...
i can open this compressed filesystem image then to edit for read & write ... before I roll it back again ..... If and when I succeed .... what should I watch out for ? ... will the same compressed file image but slightly modified work again ?
PS. that same question could be kind of translated or be extended like : how do I use unionfs/squashfs programs on the command line to mount these image files with no extension for read & write mode ???
I have a linux hard drive that I can plug into an external USB interface.. how do i read from this? from windows it only shows it as a unpartitioned drive
I want to share my DVD drive on my desktop with my Eee PC using NFS. I have set up NFS without any problems but I can't watch any DVD's.I have mounted /media/cdrom and I can see the files on the desktop DVD drive.When attempting to play the DVD over NFS using VLC I receive a loud screeching noise but it does play for different durations of time which I'm guessing are the DVD's chapters)
I have an LG-GH22NS50 DVD RW drive. My problem is it has, all of a sudden, stopped reading any disc I pop into it. I'm running Slack 13.1, although I'm fairly certain this isn't relevant, coz the drive is not reading from discs even at boot-time. I got this drive just a couple of months back, so dust build-up inside isn't very probable. What could be the problem here?
I am using a backup system with cron + tar. Since the server is very busy, I get often the cron-email: "The file XYZ has changed while reading". This message is a bit annoying and I see it as critical point in my backup system. I believe that this file is then not in my backup. (Is that correct?) Let's imagine the hard disk dies and I have to recover the system and my personal data, and in the night the mysql-table XYZ was not in the backup, because it was in read-usage. I would then have lost this table forever. Is there any way to tell TAR, that it should force the file to be included (if in read-usage, then wait 2 seconds and try again)?
How do I get my CD-ROM drive to read its contents? I am trying to read a music cd and it won't show in Dolphin or in other OS windows. I am using F10KDE.
Unfortunately, I find that Fedora 15 may have been released a bit too soon, due to it's lack of freedom. Examples: desktop customization yes. I used gnome-tweak-tool and yes I like gnome 3, but I much prefer gnome 2 + compiz,emerald for it's much more pleasant to the eye. Gnome 3 should have been an option, not forced on to the community! Other reason, desktop recording, the original recordmydesktop via command line has a much higher quality than the gnome 3 which is not even worth bothering since the gnome 3 freezes afterwards leaving a poor video playback that resembles an early 2000's .gif image! Another thing is it does not read my mp3 player while fedora 12-14 had absolute no issues! I will be returning to fedora14 until gnome 3 is fully established and meets the requirements of it's loyal customers!!
#do some time consuming task here read -p "Give me some input: " input
Now as you might've guessed, if users press some random keys during the "time consuming task," they're read into input as well. how do I clear stdin (or at least ignore it) before I issue the read command?
I have over 200 old .doc files that I cannot read properly with oo. Some of the files just give e one line of what looks like formatting info and the rest of the files show the text but in the middle of garbage and not formatted. If I use a winXP machine and get the MSWord add-on from MS it will read these. I do not like to use Win machines and also I need a batch method for the conversion, either to odf or docx format.
I installed grub2 into a usb flash drive, the system loads grub fine, but then dumps me to the grub> prompt.The only way i can get the system to continue on is to type inCode:configfile /boot/grub/grub.cfgdoes anyone know how to get grub to auto-load the grub.cfg file?
I recently set up a server in my house using Apache 2 running off Ubuntu 10.10 Netbook edition (no, the computer is a desktop). I tried running the website on a few computers in house and all the images and scripts seem to load fine but it is unable to read from the data.xml file through javascript. This leaves all of the web pages empty because all of the content is parsed from the xml file through javascript. I tried debugging with google chrome and after running this code to load the xml file:
if (window.XMLHttpRequest) { // For IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest(); }
[Code].....
the xmlhttp.responseXML is null and the script crashes. Could this be a permission issue? I tried setting the data.xml file to read-write permission for any user but that didn't work.
hard drive I already pretty old and sometimes there `input / output error` when copying ... It is normal that when referring to hard drive system hangs for a while?
I'm trying to setup ncmpcpp correctly and I'm running into an issue with mpd not reading my directories correctly. I dual boot ubuntu/w7 on this computer, and for the sake of laziness I just keep all of my music within the default windows folder ( since half my music was there first ). Now I have a symlink within my home directory's music folder that points to this, however according to mpd it isn't a director.
i would like to burn an image to a dvd but the image file is in .mdf format like that of many images created in alcohol 120%. what do i need to do in windows to burn such an image or be able to read the file?

I am trying to read the input from a keyboard usb device. However, I want to eventually be able to read from any HID device. I currently have a Dell keyboard plugged into usb. lsusb gives:
