[opensuse] Samba smbd error
by Hans de Faber 05 Apr '11

05 Apr '11

Hi folks, On my fresh installed 11.4 I have a problem to start samba. On a reference partition which is near original I have the same problem as on my customized version. smbd will not start. Doing as root a smbd -i I get the following message: smbd -i Unable to setup corepath for smbd: Permission denied smbd version 3.5.7-1.17.1-2505-SUSE-SL11.4-x86_64 started. Copyright Andrew Tridgell and the Samba Team 1992-2010 Failed to open /etc/samba/secrets.tdb Failed to open /etc/samba/secrets.tdb ERROR: smbd can not open secrets.tdb What's wrong ? On the reference partition samba is unconfigured. Thanks, Hans -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] [SOLVED] Howto Get Thunderbird to Open Links in Firefox 4
by David C. Rankin 01 Apr '11

01 Apr '11

Guys, Hopefully this will save others the grief it caused me. After upgrade to Firefox 4, clicking links in an email to http:// https:// etc... did nothing. It was a complete PITA copying links from email and pasting them into the browser (middle-click paste anywhere in the page) After looking, I found an answer on the Arch Linux bbs. Basically, in tbird, you must: (1) Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Config Editor: search: "network.protocol", locate: network.protocol-handler.warn-external.ftp network.protocol-handler.warn-external.http network.protocol-handler.warn-external.https ** set each to "true" AND restart Thunderbird (2) send yourself an email with a good link for each eg.: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=115524&p=1 ftp://mirror.services.wisc.edu/mirrors/mysql/Downloads/ (3) click on the link in your email, the navigate to /usr/bin/firefox and choose "[x] remember my selection" or whatever it says; and then links in Thunderbird emails will once again open in firefox as they should. It looks like some links or something were forgotten as part of the FF4 update. Wolfgang - can FF4 be fixed to do this automatically on update? -- David C.

[opensuse] networkmanager and knetworkmanager
by lynn 01 Apr '11

01 Apr '11

What is the difference between the two? When I install knetworkmanager it appears in the system tray in kde4. And it just works. But everyone else on the list refers to networkmanager, not knetworkmanager. Thanks.

[opensuse] [11.4] proprietary Canon printer driver help needed
by Felix Miata 31 Mar '11

31 Mar '11

Any non-US Canon multifunction users here? Mine is MF4370dn, but this very large driver package obviously applies to many models. Driver download URL: http://files.canon-europe.com/files/soft40355/Software/o1113enx_l_ufr220.zip The latest (v2.20) proprietary drivers do not work in openSUSE 11.4 or Fedora 15, but do work in 11.2, *buntu 10.10 & Fedora 14. There's no point reporting this to Canon USA, as it will not provide support for Linux users. Someone with a non-US address needs to report the driver failure (test page prints, but printer data errors trying to get apps to print) to Canon UK via contact form, possibly at http://newsletter.canon-europe.com/Web/Locale/en-GB/Register.aspx?origin=ht… in order for them to know of this problem. Can anyone here to that? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg.

[opensuse] Cannot type text in Libreoffice
by James P. Bland 31 Mar '11

31 Mar '11

Using the rpms from the repository or 11.4 DVD I am unable to enter text in any Libreoffice app. I can cut and paste text though. This is a fresh install of 11.4, but also had the issue in 11.3. I was able to work around it in 11.3 by downloading and installing rpms from the LO site. I'm at my wits ends here. Can anyone help?

[opensuse] first look at 11.4 - livecd
by kanenas＠hawaii.rr.com 31 Mar '11

31 Mar '11

Trying very hard to put aside my anti kde4 prejudice and give 11.4 a fair chance. so i dl'd the kde live cd and booted from it. It seems that everything worked, but the striped screen with apparently different scale on adjascent stripes looks weird, is that supposed to be normal? Then I tried to click on some things like firefox and office, firefox seems to take for ever and a day to do anything. My cpu is a 2.4 ghz -4 core intel job and i have 8 gb of ram, the internet connection is thru roadrunner cable, so i am not used to watching the firefox ball bouncing up / down and leaving contrails on the screen if i move the mouse. Is this due to the nouvew (sp?) driver for the 8600 nvidia card? is the general rather serious sluggishness the result of that driver? if yes, is there a way to upgrade the driver in the livecd session? if yes, can someone please help? thanks in advance, d. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
