Opensuse 11.2 KDE Wireless Network Connects BUT..

Hi!

Im new to opensuse 11.2 KDE, so i freshly installed opensuse 11.2 KDE on Toshia Sattelite A75, my wireless adapter: Atheros 5005GS and Register in Opensuse as Atheros 5001+Network Adapter… so my problems are, my connection says “active” but i can’t get to updates “oss” “non-oss” repos, and then i tried to open firefox pages won’t load, and tried another website such google and facebook and successfully connects, search, and signing in, but the homepage of opensuse and some other websites failed to load the page… i don’t know what’s the problem… my wireless is “active”… also my security is WPA-PSK (TKIP) on my router…

Hope there’s a solution on my problem…

Thanks… :slight_smile:

Try booting with this boot argument added

ipv6.disable=1

add it like in this screen, instead of the 3, use the above

Thanks a lot! more power Opensuse… :slight_smile:

The ipv6.disable=1
Can be added permanently to your boot. You have to edit a file. Depending if you use kde or gnome use one of these in a terminal

kdesu kwrite /boot/grub/menu.lst

or

gnomesu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst

Here is an example of it without and then with

Look carefully and be careful

========================================

Please also post the result of

zypper lr -d

and what happens if you do this

zypper lu

sir,

i can’t open menu.lst from boot/grub but i saw menu.lst.old it opens…

You do have a /boot/grub/menu.lst, otherwise your system would not boot. Mind about the “/” before “boot”.

Use your mouse to copy and paste the kde code in a terminal

enter password when requested

Voilà

this one i tried in terminal konsole and this one shows…

aeiou07@linux-8glv:~> /boot/grub/menu.lst
bash: /boot/grub/menu.lst: Permission denied

NO

It’s

kdesu kwrite /boot/grub/menu.lst

sorry about the permission denied i already write on menu.lst…

here’s what shows in zypper lr -d:

| Alias | Name | Enabled | Refresh | Priority | Type | URI | Service

5 | repo-update | openSUSE-11.2-Update | Yes | Yes | 99 | rpm-md | Index of /update/11.2

and this one shows after zypper lu:

aeiou07@linux-8glv:~> zypper lu
Failed to download /media.1/media from http://download.opensuse.org/debug/distribution/11.2/repo/oss/

Just in case you missed this

The repos look OK

You can disable 1 and 4
In su terminal

zypper mr -d 1
zypper mr -d 4

also do this

rpmdb --rebuilddb

this one says:

aeiou07@linux-8glv:~> zypper mr -d 1
Root privileges are required for modifying system repositories.
aeiou07@linux-8glv:~> zypper mr -d 4
Root privileges are required for modifying system repositories.

aeiou07@linux-8glv:~> rpmdb --rebuilddb
error: can’t create transaction lock on /var/lib/rpm/__db.000 (No such file or directory)

To execute those commands, you need to have root (administrator) privileges.

Type

su

to become root and enter the root password when prompted. Now you can do

zypper mr -d 1

and the other commands.

Your learning. :slight_smile:

hahaha! yeah, thanks so much for patience…

ok, here’s what says after the commands:

linux-8glv:/home/aeiou07 # zypper mr -d 1
System management is locked by the application with pid 5226 (/usr/lib/YaST2/bin/y2base).
Close this application before trying again.

same with:

linux-8glv:/home/aeiou07 # zypper mr -d 4
System management is locked by the application with pid 5226 (/usr/lib/YaST2/bin/y2base).
Close this application before trying again.

and for rpmdb --rebuilddb:

still on query…

Updater Applet still on query and isn’t moving…

Ok arion778, thats happening because the updater applet has locked the rpm database. Can you reboot, open a terminal, then try (as root with su command)

rpmdb --rebuilddb

and

zypper up

This is the CLI method for updating. Post the error messages (if any) here.

still no luck… :frowning:
