openSuse 11.1 64bit tp_smapi

#1 Post by toolmad » Sun Jun 28, 2009 12:31 pm

Hi all, can somebody please help me with getting tp_smapi installed on my Lenovo W500?

I'm running openSuse 11.1 64bit with the latest kernel (2.6.27.23-0.1-default).

kernel packages installed are:
kernel-debug-base
kernel-default
kernel-default-base
kernel-default-extra
kernel-source
kernel-syms
kernel-trace-base
kernel-xen-base
linux-kernel-headers
module-init-tools

I downloaded the following tp_smapi '1-click install' files from the 'Get Software from the openSUSE Build Service' page:

tp_smapi-kmp.ymp
tp_smapi-kmp-debug.ymp
tp_smapi-kmp-debuginfo.ymp
tp_smapi-kmp-debugsource.ymp
tp_smapi-kmp-default.ymp
tp_smapi-kmp-trace.ymp
tp_smapi-kmp-xen.ymp
tp_smapi-kmp-pae.ymp
tp_smapi-kmp-vmi.ymp

and all but 'tp_smapi-kmp-pae.ymp' and 'tp_smapi-kmp-vmi.ymp' install without a hitch.

the error i get attempting to install 'tp_smapi-kmp-pae.ymp' is:

tp_smapi-kmp-pae-0.40_2.6.27.23_0.1-3.3.i586 requires kernel(pae:vmlinux) = c09f3231809d6359, but this requirement cannot be provided.
uninstallable providers: kernel-pae-base-2.6.27.19-3.2.1.i586[repo-update]
kernel-pae-base-2.6.27.21-0.1.2.i586[repo-update]
kernel-pae-base-2.6.27.23-0.1.1.i586[repo-update]


the error i get attempting to install 'tp_smapi-kmp-vmi.ymp' is:

nothing provides kernel(vmi:fs_sysfs) = 18761150f411070e needed by tp_smapi-kmp-vmi-0.40_2.6.27.23_0.1-3.3.i586

I'm fairly new to linux but i managed to get ati's fglrx running after a few attempts so i don't think i'm completely stupid :roll:

is the issue with 'tp_smapi-kmp-pae.ymp' and 'tp_smapi-kmp-vmi.ymp' the fact that they're for i586 and not x86_64?
(i notice there's no x86_64 rpm files available for tp_smapi-kmp-pae or tp_smapi-kmp-vmi) or am I missing other dependencies?

Many thanks
