How to cache openSUSE repositories with Squid

I think I've seen people ask about this occasionally - I've finally
managed to take a few hours and write up how I do it:

http://wiki.jessen.ch/index/How_to_cache_openSUSE_repositories_with_Squid

I've had this setup working since beginning of the year, it saves a lot
of time.

Why are my Opensuse so slow

Thanks for all input about my "slow" Opensuse 12.1.

I have solved my problem.

I pulled the "plug" of my "old" disk, and installed 12.1  with my
Window XP on the SATA disk.

Problem with 12-1 update repo


I have a 12.1 system I want to update. However, I get the following
error from zypper:

  # zypper cc
  All repositories have been cleaned up.

  # zypper ref
  Repository 'Application:Geo' is up to date.
  Repository 'Education' is up to date.
  Repository 'Factory:Contrib' is up to date.
  Repository 'Nvidia' is up to date.
  Repository 'suse-12.1' is up to date.
  Repository 'suse-12.1 non-oss' is up to date.
  Repository 'suse-12.1 update' is up to date.
  Building repository 'suse-12.1 update' cache [done]
  Error building the cache:
  [|] Failed to cache repo (4).
  Skipping repository 'suse-12.1 update' because of the above error.
  Some of the repositories have not been refreshed because of an error.

If I do a 'zypper cc', shouldn't the cache be empty at the start?

I am experiencing a problem with ssh when I run an X app remote from
this 12.1 system. So I want to do an update before sorting that. The
problem is that after a few seconds of running the X app over X, I get a
message about a corrupt packet and then the ssh connection is closed.

But first to update the system...

Seeking recommendations for a CRM that has a descent print and/or pdf function

I've looked at the two biggies that my host will autoinstall: SugarCRM and vTiger CRM.

Neither one has a descent print and/or pdf function.

Preferably free and open-source,

TIA, Duaine

Packman repository mistmatch.


Hi,

For several hours, I have been trying to upgrade some packgages from 
packman, without success.

Yast offers to upgrade, for example, wine-mp3 to 1.1.39-12.6. When it 
tries to download it, fails. I look with a browser, and indeed, that 
package is not available, and instead, is 1.1.39-12.7, dated yesterday.

What is hapening?

And when I say to skip, it also skips all updates from the rest of 
repositories, not only those from packman.

Worst, everytime I open yast package manager, it says that on a previous 
session it could bot install something, shall we install now? I say no, 
and on the next fireup, it says the same! Is it possible to tell it to 
forget, as those packages are not in the servers?

I had to taboo it!
Taboo, accept, exit, enter again, say keep it, accept, exit! :-(

And it only remembers the package that got stuck, not the rest of the 
packages I told it to upgrade and that they failed. Probably a good thing, 
or I would have to block all of those one by one...

(this is oS 11.4)

no dropbox options when right clicking on 32bit pc


Hi all,

On my office desktop (box #2 below, 32 bit), when I click on dropbox in 
the system tray, it opens the dropbox folder in dolphin. Then when I 
click into the public folder, it navigates there fine.

On my desktop at home, at this point if I right click on a file in order 
to get the public URL, in order to make a link to send out, I get 
dropbox options in the list that comes out on the right click menu. 
However in my office desktop, there are no dropbox options.

any ideas?

Bad repository metadata gwdg.de for several repos


All,

  It looks like there is a problem with the metadata for several 11.4 repos on
gwdg.de:

File
'./repodata/70a7a6e224b98ab3ab5b29d986d752814e53aa735eb6bcb7c89cef8301f3e962-primary.xml.gz'

not found on medium
'http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/KDE:/KDE3/openSUSE_11.4'

  Did I just attempt an update while these sites were busy updating, or is there
a problem with the indexes? It's been that way for over an hour. Let me know if
you want me to bug it or if one of you just want to check and confirm first.

openoffice 3.4 from source works great - export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome


All,

   Just passing along my experience with the Apache OpenOffice 3.4 release - 
excellent for the first Apache release. It recreates all prior OO documents 
without the character/paragraph spacing issue that found its way into LO. It 
runs fantastic on 11.4 (I presume it will do the same on 12.x as well) The 
install is simple, but -- uninstall ALL prior OO releases before installing 
3.4 (it installs fine in parallel with LO [OO installing in /opt]) This is 
required due to changes in Java that have taken place since the 3.3 release -- 
you will get a javadlx error if you forget.

   The install is straight forward:

(1) uninstall prior OO versions

(2) download OO 3.4 - http://www.openoffice.org/download/

(3) ungzip/untar the file

(4) cd en-US/RPMS

(5) rpm -Ivh *.rpm

(6) (optional) if you don't have libre installed, then:
   cd desktop-integration/
   rpm -Ivh openoffice.org3.4-suse-menus-3.4-9590.noarch.rpm
   (it conflicts with the LibreOffice menus if installed)

(7) if you have libgtk installed (you probably do) set the 'export 
OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome' option in your .bashrc to insure that you can

zypper threshold for switching to segmented downloads?


Not sure where really to ask this question. 

I am putting the final touches on an article on how to run Squid to
cache openSUSE repositories.  As part of some traffic analysis, I've
noticed that once data is cached locally (and therefore delivered at
9-10Mbyte/s), zypper seems to stop doing segmented downloading. Instead
zypper only uses download.opensuse.org which is where the cache is kept
on the local Squid.

There's no problem, I just want to understand if there is such a
threshold.
