[10.1] An alias question & udev
by Adolph Weidanz 29 Aug '06

29 Aug '06

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hey all... I am still working on getting the Sierra aircard and the elan pc-pcmcia bridge to play nice. I think I've narrowed it down to a UDEV thing.. But I have two questions... 1. Has anyone tried the .98 version of UDEV? I noticed on the project site but when I searched the net the only RPM that I found was the one I am using .85. 2. There is a howto on Novell's website on setting up the aircard. It worked great on my laptop but not on the desktop. One item it said to do was to create an alias: alias pcmcia:m0192c0710f06fn00pfn00paD85F6206pb0BA21128pc07D22D0DpdD9533FEC serial_cs Now I know what alias does, but I thought it needed the "=". Also does anyone have an idea what all the numbers/letters are after the pcmcia. I really need to know what the numbers are because the above line is what I put in modprobe.d/sierra as the howto said, but the line below is what shows up in UDEV debug: pcmcia:m0192c0710f06fn00pfn00paD85F6206pb698F93DBpcAB3C6F47pdD9533FEC as you can see ;^) the 41st to 59th (or so) are different. Does it make a difference... Thanks for any help..

Re: [SLE] SuSE 10.1 32bit and 4GB RAM, seen are 3.5GB
by Martin Köbele 29 Aug '06

29 Aug '06

thanks to all of you! I have tried several different kernels. Configured with the 4/4GB split and with sparse/flat/disconigous memory model. Nothing helped. I could not find a BIOS settings to re-map the memory for the integrated peripherals. Would anybody think, that disabling onboard NIC and sound and replacing them with PCI cards could help? The slackware kernel which was previously installed (and saw the 4GB) does not even load on this computer anymore (maybe because it doesn't like suse ;) ). I could not find out which mainboard is built in. I'm gonna open the box another time, maybe I overlooked something. So I am still puzzled. I booted off of the Suse 10.1 64bit after I saw in the bios, that the CPU is actually 64bit capable (intel's EM64T) but that didn't change a thing. Thanks!

Suse License Question
by Henk Roos 29 Aug '06

29 Aug '06

I just want to know about the Suse Linux 10 License: does Suse 10 fall under the GPL. What I want to do is load Suse 10 for someone else and then set up postgres etc. and load a program I have written for them and then charge them anually for the program. Can I keep the root password for myself.

[opensuse] Needing help - Cyrus IMAP on openSUSE
by T. Lodewick 29 Aug '06

29 Aug '06

Hi all, after beeing here on the list for "a long time" and puttung my two cents to a few points I need some help to install / run / admin the Cyrus-IMAP-server on openSUSE. the situation: I need a IMAP-server for a few accounts, that can hold mailboxes with about two or threee GBytes on data. the IMAP-server is only used for internal storage of the data. the server should also pick up the eMails from a few POP3-accounts outside. there is the need to connect with a windows-client and outlook to the server to get all old mailstuff, that is currenty on an exchange-server hosted on a public ISP (so it is outside of our hands). in the next few month there is still the need for the connection from outlook, but at "the end" there will be only a local hostet webmail-solution programmed in PHP that fits the special need for our purpose. the problem: there no good documention on how to set up the cyrus-server under openSUSE. the most things I could find on the net depends ether other distros or builing it up from source and setting it up from the ground. when I try to use docus for other distros, some files are on other places or missing complete. there is a magazine in german from "heise" called "c't special - Linux" with is based on openSUSE 10.1, and there is also a part witch covers the setup of cyrus - but even that didn't work. I can't get access as user cyrus to the host. what I need: some directions where to find a docu for cyrus-imap. or some hints what will be the best order to install and run cyrus. it should be run under SL10.0 or SL10.1. if it needs openLDAP - OK, but if it can run without - better. as I only need a few mailboxes, the accounts at cyrus can depend on user accounts on the local machine, but if it can run without its also good. could someone gave me some hints ? thanks, and best regards, JBScout aka Thomy PS: if I get a working solution, I will put the way on the wiki for others - of course ;) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Suse 9.3 which repositories effectively replace the old apt repositories?
by Sam Stern 29 Aug '06

29 Aug '06

Hi All, I need to use the Nortel (Apani) vpn client to connect to the development network at my work site. The last version of Suse that Apani supports is Suse 9.3 (Kernel 2.6.11-xxx). So I have a need to create a Suse Linux 9.3 install with a fairly recent software load to test a Ajax / Java / Flash nightmare at work. So after much reading I discovered that apt is being replaced by "yum" or "smart" (and "yast" for Suse 10.x) -- at least as far as using those services to install a more recent KDE with. Unfortunately I cannot seem to discover which repositories will meet my needs. I'm looking for guidance on which repository (ies?) to use to answer the following needs as expressing in question format: 1) Can I use the KDE "Backports" with the "KDE:" repository? If not, does "KDE:" contain koffice (esp. rekall, knoda, kxmleditor) already? I'm asking because there is no kdeoffice, rekall or similar packages in the "KDE:" directory tree for Suse 9.3 but these packages are in the "Backports" repositories? This is probably my core question as I can simply mirror the correct repository and use apt-server to merge the recent KDE back into the familiar apt architecture if the below questions do not have positive answers ;> 2) Which Repository contains the base system and security updates? 3) Where can I find the most recent version of OpenOffice (2.0.3)? 4) Where can I find the most recent version of the various Mozilla software (Firefox, Thunderbird, Seamonkey, Venkman, Dom inspector)? 5) Where can I find Samba3? 6) Where can I find the suser-guru repository? I appreciate any help you all can provide! Sam Stern Grand Island, New York, USA

Nokia N80 in usb-storage mode on SuSE Linux 10.0
by Rui Santos 29 Aug '06

29 Aug '06

Hi all, I recently acquired a Nokia N80 ( mobile phone ). I found out that the phone would not work as a usb-storage device on SuSE 10.0. After googgling few times, I found a patch that was applied to the 2.6.17.x kernel. I had to try it on SuSE10.0 Kernel - It did not work directly but, almost. I Just had to rewrite the patch for SuSE10.0 and it worked. This email is just for that if any user wants to make Nokia N80 work as usb-storage device, he/she just has to apply the kernel patch and recompile the kernel modules. Hope it helps someone... -- Rui Santos http://www.ruisantos.com/

DL DVD Burner
by Robert Morrison 29 Aug '06

29 Aug '06

I'm in the market for an internal DL DVD Burner for SUSE 10.0. If anyone who has one that's running nicely on SUSE 10.0 would be willing to post make and model, I'd be grateful. Note: I'm aware of: http://cdb.suse.de/searchForm.php but a search for "CD Writer" and "10.0" returns "no products found." A search for just "CD Writer" returns about 158, so who knows. TIA.

bizarre momentary freezes in SUSE 10.1
by Jonathan Puthoff 29 Aug '06

29 Aug '06

Greetings all! My Dell Inspiron lappy (running freshly-installed and updated SUSE 10.1) experiences momentary freezes at seemingly random intervals. Symptoms appear as freezes of 2-4 seconds and possibly a spike in CPU usage. Keystrokes and mouse motions made during the beginning of this period are still reflected after the lock-up terminates. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Perhaps there is a log file somewhere that yield some info? I was running SUSE 10.0 just fine, no problems. . . Any help would be greatly appreciated. jonathan

Welcome to the club. You are now officially the second person on this list to have this problem. I have been trying to get an answer to this problem for a couple of weeks now since doing a online update to Yast2. I keep hoping the engineer at SuSE will come back additional information besides doing a rebuild of the rpm database... The problem has to do with starting update "watcher" icon in the "zen tray" and its functionality. Clint

system-wide default file handler? (e.g. use mplayer to open .avi format by default)
by Zhang Weiwu 29 Aug '06

29 Aug '06

Hello. It is very difficult to support new users (especially Windows users). Perhaps all people on this list who supports users switched to SuSE from Windows should open a separate list to share experience. Here is another difficulty: There is only one way to stop user complaining 'the Most Important Application: "Windows Media Player" is missing', that is to automatically associate .wmv and .avi (coded using wmv codec) to be by default opened by mplayer. I can do this for one single user, but how do I do this for a LOT of users? Can I set system-wide configuration to let .avi .wmv file open by mplayer? (In my case, users use gnome). I cannot eliminate wmv files. They are everywhere around the earth. Anyone who release some media file must consider that only some people knows how to (and wish to) install quick time, so .mov is 'out'. Same for Xvid, rmvb... result: every time every website release .wmv files. A lot of user actually consider wmv to be the best format in this universe because it's used so widely, it must be the best. It's not useful to tell user to launch mplayer for wmv files. First, they will try to drap and drop media files to mplayer, which do not work because mplayer don't support drag&drop. Second, they will try to use 'open file' dialogue, if they are lucky enough not to be threaden by English (mplayer user interface is in English), they will find themselves opening a dialog box full of jargon (they can use Linux for months without understanding '/home' '/usr' jargon) and don't know how to open the wmv file because they don't know where it is. Then, they will probably find the wmv file, but cannot read it because Chinese ideographs in filename are displayed junk text in mplayer. Then, if they still don't walk away from Linux computers to Windows computers, they will file a complaint. The only way to support these users is to set system-wide configuration so that when they double-click wmv, mplayer launches and plays. I googled around and found a lot of answers on how to change file-right-click-context menu, but none of them are for administrators, most articles only talk about how to change it for the current user.

umess device: how to make it available for everyone?
by Zhang Weiwu 29 Aug '06

29 Aug '06

Hello. I run an X-terminal-server using SuSE 10.1. A lot of people visiting the office need to exchange file with USB flash (umess device). In order to make it possible for everybody to use USB drive, I used extended USB wire to give every user a USB port from terminal server. The problem is, when 5 users logged into the system, one user plug in a Umess device, a shortcut to this device is created on the desktop, only write accessible to another user! e.g. user yuliansu plug in a umess device, an icon appear on zhangweiwu's desktop, folder /media/disk (which is the mount point of this umess device) belong to zhangweiwu and not writable for other users. user yuliansu is upset because she cannot write to the device. What we need: when a umess device is plugged in, current problem is every user can see an icon for this device and EVERYBODY can write to it. e.g. folder /media/disk (mount point) should belong to certain user and permission should be 774 (group-writable). I hope I am clear on my situation. Can anyone give me hint where to configure the default permission for automatically mounted device like Umess?

[opensuse] Package Manager Update 3: Call for Testing
by Andreas Jaeger 29 Aug '06

29 Aug '06

[Hope this is appropriate here - sorry for the duplicate] Our developers are continuing to improve the package manager stack. We'd like to release some of their changes for 10.1 now and I'd like to ask for testers. Please report all bugs you find in bugzilla (http://bugzilla.novell.com, component libzypp and include in the summary "Package Manager Update 3"). We plan to release on friday, 2006-09-01 an update to the test repository with anything that has been found so far and plan to release the final update next week officially. This update contains the following new features: * support for patch/delta RPMs in YUM sources (#168844) in YOU but not yet in the ZENworks tools This update includes fixes for the following bugs: * various performance enhancements * 190163 - *-kmp-* dependencies match multiple kernel packages * 176568 - Evaluate possible xml parser optimizations * 195567 - 100 /var/tmp/TmpFile.xxxxx in 3 Days * 193584 - cut-off package description in zen-updater * 194424 - Online update setup creates unusable cron job * 191676 - zen installer/updater cannot add an FTP YUM repository * 190295 - zen-updater/zmd/rug does not install update stack patches first * 193212 - zmd does not unblock transactions after transaction preparation failure * 191506 - zen-updated showing updates from non-subscribed catalog * 183656 - mono needed for YaST package management since last update openSUSE 10.2 will see further improvments that need even better testing. If you like to test, please read below the details - otherwise wait for the online update that we will release soon. Until the online update has been installed, I advise to run as root "yast2 online_update" for patch installation. If you have never updated the stack, then use yast to do the following, otherwise use either ZENworks tools or YaST: * Add the following (or one of the mirrors) as installation source: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/aj/10.1-packagemanagement-update-test * Run an online update and install the new libzypp patch * Test whether YOU installs patches using patch/delta RPMs. Note patch and delta RPMs are smaller than full RPMs. Therefore download is faster but assembly of them takes longer. If anything looks broken, please contact myself and Stano <visnov at suse.cz>. Feel free to add him as <visnov at novell.com> in your bugzilla report, so that we do not lose track of any issues with this update. We do not plan to add further fixes, our goal is to get this update out and find any regressions introduced. openSUSE 10.2 will see further improvments that need even better testing and the ongoing progress can be tested using the openSUSE 10.2 Alpha releases - with Alpha4 next week.

[opensuse] NEW 10.1 desktop problem.
by Fred A. Miller 29 Aug '06

29 Aug '06

I've noted a new problem in 10.1 that may be a KDE problem, not anything in the base code. If one chooses to use the normal Unix convention of wherever the cursor is, is the active window, then windows start to "strobe" and processor usage is 100% unless you try to move the window, then the strobing stops.....for awhile. Changing the option in KDE to a "click" to change windows stops all of this. This all started the other day with a large update that included KDE files.

SuperMicro H8DA8/H8DAR motherboard
by Robert Lewis 29 Aug '06

29 Aug '06

Has anyone had success loading SUSE Linux on a SuperMicro H8DA8/H8DAR AMD dual processor 2.4 GHZ? It has an ATI Rage 8-MB XL Graphics Chip Adaptec RAID V4.30 AIC7902 Ultra 320 Wide The machine sounds like a jet engine and is hard on my ears as it is designed for rack mounting (1U) pizza box design, in a relay rack cabinet. It installs normally up to the first reboot where you put in the root password and user stuff etc. providing more detail describing how it fails but just At that point it always fails with no GUI coming up and to many processes keeping getty from running, so does Ubuntu. I did once or twice succeed in installing the machine as a bare bones server with no GUI, text only. I am fishing at this point to see if anyone has one of these boxes and has failed or succeeded. I can install SLAX which is a LIVE CD ok. Cheers, Bob

I have external http access to my site and to my public_html directory, but cannot access phpMyAdmin or the gallery2 php setup scripts located /srv/www/htdocs/*/.... Oddly, I can access awstats, but it resides in cbi-bin which is below /srv/www/... The error message I get for both is: Access forbidden! You don't have permission to access the requested directory. There is either no index document or the directory is read-protected. If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster. Error 403 wahoo Mon Aug 28 19:30:19 2006 Apache/2.2.0 (Linux/SUSE) and I get the same error if I browse as 'root'. drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 2006-08-28 18:43 gallery2 drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 2006-08-28 18:10 phpMyAdmin drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 2006-08-28 18:51 htdocs I'm thinking that I have a basic apache2 setup error but cannot figure out what? I'm also feeling kind of 'duh' as I have successfully done the same install and configuration on seven or eight previous installs. tks, -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

setting the mount option for USB flash
by Jason Kim 29 Aug '06

In SuSE, it seems like fstab is not synchronized with the newly plugged-in storage devices. I've noticed that there was no entry for my USB flash when I plugged it into my system. I want to set the uid and umask in the mount options for my flash so that nobody can access the mount point except me. In FC4, I can control the mount options by modifying fstab, but if I add a new entry into fstab in SuSE and double click the device icon in the "File Browser", I just got a error message dialog as follow : Mount Error Operation failed /dev/sda1 found in /etc/fstab I wonder how SuSE choose the mount options when it auto-mounts USB storage, and when I double click the device icon in the "File Browser". I've added new fdi file to set the policy for the mount options, and I've confirmed the values in the "lshal", but it didn't work. /proc/mounts had no mount options I set in fdi file. Could someone give me a hint?
