.wmv file
by Doug McGarrett 06 Jun '04

06 Jun '04

Someone (someone I trust) sent me a .wmv attachment which tried to launch in Mozilla, but there is xine demux thing missing from Kaffeine. I don't know how all that's supposed to work-- anybody have a clue? Also, tried to forward this message to myself, to see if Windows could play it, but for some reason it just sits in my outbox in kmail.

USB Wireless LAN Adapter Initialisation
by Stephen Chadfield 06 Jun '04

06 Jun '04

I have a Belkin USB wireless LAN adaptor (F5D6050) which works fine with SuSE 9.1, except that after reboot I am required to briefly unplug then reconnect it to make it work. Is there any magic I can perform using software that will have the same effect as this procedure? -- Stephen Chadfield http://www.chadfield.com/

Multisync?
by David Krider 06 Jun '04

06 Jun '04

I'm trying to use multisync to sync between a Palm and Evolution. Has anyone gotten this to work? I've tried 2 other versions besides the one that comes with 9.1, but NONE of them work. The only thing happening is that a test appointment I created in Evolution is making it back to the Palm, but nothing from the Palm is coming over to Evolution. I tried creating an inverse pair in multisync, but this didn't work. Is this related to the gpilotd brokeness? I just don't know; I've never used multisync before. Thanks, dk

Xdmcp/WindowMaker color problem
by Hemond, Steve 05 Jun '04

05 Jun '04

Hi people, When logging in locally in a WindowMaker session, everything is fine. When logging remotely to a WindowMaker session via xdmcp (tested with Reflection-X and X-Win32), the colors are bluish. Anyone knows why? And if there is a way to fix this? Thanks in advance, Best regards, Steve Hemond Programmeur / Programmer Smurfit-Stone, Ressources Forestières La Tuque, P.Q. Phone : (819) 676-8100 X2833 Mail : shemond(a)smurfit.com

9.1 & Krecord
by James Hatridge 04 Jun '04

04 Jun '04

Hi all.... I'm not sure where the problem is. I've got an old Sound Blaster 16 card in my system. I have my radio plugged into it as "line in". I can hear the radio over my screen speakers. I can play mp3/wav files without problem with Xmms. But when I try to record something from the radio using krecord all I get are blank files. The files are not empty, only no sound. Any ideas?

Terminal Server Anyone?
by St. Maurice School 03 Jun '04

03 Jun '04

I toyed with the idea of running thin clients and terminal server, but decided against it because if the point of failure is the server itself, everyone is out of business, while if each loads the os then a point of failure, on the server, will still allow clients to do "Some Things" comments, disagreements? I am open to thoughts/ridicule

Firefox and Mozilla are stuck after keyboard input
by Xaos Katawin 02 Jun '04

02 Jun '04

Hi all, I have a recurring problem. When I try to use the keyboard to input anything into firefox or mozilla, the programs freeze and need to be killed. This is only seen in regular user accounts. 'Root' doesn't have any problem using these programs. When I first updated to SuSE 9.0, I had the same problem, but along with a bunch of other minor problems, so I decided to do a fresh install and the problem went away. Yesterday I set up ip masquerading through yast and lo and behold, the problem reappeared. Now I REALLY don't think a fresh install is the way to go to solve this particular problem, but I have played with the permissions and the security settings in yast to no avail. So now I am appealing to the experts once again. What am I missing? I should say that the other box (win + firefox) doesn't have any problem and is quite happy working through my linux box. Any thoughts, suggestions??

PHP, sessions and SUSE 9.1
by Mario Viana 02 Jun '04

02 Jun '04

Hello people, I have a PHP script that used to work fine in apache 1.3.x. Yesterday, I install SuSE 9.1 and my script stop working with Fatal error: Call to undefined function: session_name() By Google, I found that phpinfo() could show me the truth and it was there : PHP Version 4.3.4 Build Date May 7 2004 18:42:35 Configure Command './configure' (...) '--disable-session' (...) So, why the hell php4.rpm from SuSE 9.1 was compiled without support for sessions? How I can enable this without breaking rpms? I suppose I have to install PHP4.src and then, compile --with-session, but what file(s) do I have to substitute (only /usr/bin/php?)? Thanks
