nvidia fun

nvidia giving me problems again

trying delete /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so.290.10

to see if it is because of conflicting versions

that didn't do it so next rm
libnvidia-wfb.so.290.10
libnvidia-wfb.so.1
in /usr/lib64/xorg/modules

still no luck
more to expunge

no luck
a bunch of stuff in
/etc/X11

well, instead of crashing it crashes messily...

....

well, changing the video driver to vesa works well enough

Fall 2012 Lab

Got OpenSuse 12.2 RC2

set up authorized keys

fix /etc/fstab

Next, verify the repositories are correct. This is a little iffy since 12.2 is not fully out yet.

turn off autorefresh since it was bugging me
zypper mr -R --all

Retrieved list of installed packages in 12.1 using

rpm -qa --qf "%{name}\n"

Used

zypper in `cat packages.txt`

to try to install them all. It seems there was an API change in libcdio, so I'll need to redo the packages that depend on it later. Some of the repositories are based on 12.1


--- nfs mounts are not mounting during bootup...
- initially I had edited the fstab by hand, undid that and edited it via yast in case it ran some other configuration
- no difference
- next try see what systemd says after a fresh boot
- systemctl lists it as failing, and NetworkManager and virtualbox too
- removing NetworkManager and rebooting
- still no change
- adding exception to the firewall, it shouldn't matter since it does not get started, but it is worth a shot
- no change
- it is late, so trying a sledgehammer, editing /etc/init.d/boot.local to include mount -a
- no change



added guest users

installed virtual box
--- need to test it

--- need to install eclipse
--- need to install android development kit
--- need to install mathematica

onto authentication
- copy krb5.conf, ldap.conf, nsswitch.conf, pam.d,

change group
change hosts

--- check on the need to change mime types

--- check ssh server configuration

+++ redo yast boot loader config to use /dev/sda drive ids
- changed sysconfig/bootloader - it was interested in the /dev/sda5 partition though which is weird because it is swap

--- check firewall config, possibly add exception for nfs-client
