KDE2: How to fix the failed dcopserver problem
by Just Another SuSE User 03 May '01

03 May '01

I ran into the dcopserver problem and I know I have seen this before on the list but could not find it in my archive of 10,000 messages. Basically, when KDE2 tries to start, it says the dcopserver is not running, or something to that affect. Anyone know how to fix this? Thankx, CC

Executing WP from KDE desktop
by suse-linux-g＠bary1.org 03 May '01

03 May '01

I must be missing something simple here. I have installed WP8 on my SuSE7.1 machine. I Can't seem to get the program to execute from the icon I created on my KDE2 desktop unless I click the start in terminal option.Similarly, I can execute the program from the command line with no problem. Normal execution from the GUI however yields no reults. Any thoughts would be welcome. I've not had this problem with WP and other dusro's in the past and am wondering what might be unique to KDE2 and/or SuSe that would cause this. Paul

7.1 and root bootup sound error
by suse-linux-g＠bary1.org 03 May '01

03 May '01

I am using SuSe 7.1 with a ensoniq 1371 card. Sound works fine when booting as either root or a normal user. When booting as root I have noticed the following errror messages appearing in the console window: dprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module sound-service-1-0 May 3 05:39:37 linux modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module sound-slot-1 May 3 05:39:37 linux modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module sound-service-1-0 When I boot as a normal user, I do not get these error messages. I find this behavior odd and was hoping someone could give me some information as to what is happening and what I need to adjust. As either root, or user, the sound seems to work fine, but I would like to get rid of these errors under the root bootup if possible. Thanks, Paul

hacked?
by elicker＠email.com 03 May '01

03 May '01

I never bothered to look /var/log/messages file until now. Just by curiosity I was browsing the file and I see the excerpt that follows. It seems that someone at 200.204.201.138 was trying to break in into my computer. My box is a minimal SuSE 6.4 with KDE2, apache and samba added. No special security measures was taken. As I know nothing about security I am looking for some advice. Does this guy at 200.204.201.138 succeed? Was I hacked? What is "popper"? AFAIK there is nothing in my box with this name. Thanks a lot for any advice.

[OT] Legal Issues Type Question
by Stuart Powell 03 May '01

03 May '01

Hello, everyone. I just wanted to see what trouble I could stir up this evening with an article I found this morning. I'm surprised Fred didn't send it on. If you don't think of MS as the Evil Empire yet, this may well push you over the edge. http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/2/18589.html This article raised many questions in my mind. Predominantly, though, is this: Just how far can Microsoft go in its pursuit of pirates without overstepping the mark ? How much of this power can be wielded beyond US borders ? Let's say that I buy a shiny new PC from Gateway, for the sake of argument. I order it without an OS, since I intend to install a lovely fresh copy of SuSE on it, and don't want to have to pay the MS Tax. A vigilant Gateway employee then calls up MS and says "Stoo just bought a new machine without an OS. Please add another point to my score, as I am trying to win my own yacht from the MS 'Shop Your Customers for Profit' promotion". The next thing I get is a phone call from a drone in Redmond. The call goes something like this... Drone - "Mr. Powell, it has come to our attention that you just bought a whizz-bang new Gateway PC without an OS. We will be sending the PC police (http://www.bsa.org) over to make sure you bought a valid Windows licence for that PC." Me - "Sod off ! It's running Linux." Question; can they still send the PC police round to check and see if I actually have Linux on the box ? What about the other PCs here that may or may not be running Windows ? Can they check those just because they're here and they feel like it ? How about my friend's PC in the corner that I will be upgrading with a new processor in a couple of days ? I don't know if he has a valid Windows licence or not. I certainly can't produce one for it myself. And finally, how long is this kind of behaviour going to be tolerated before someone sees the light and puts a stop to this kind of thing ? Let the battle commence... Stuart.

Dumb Yast2 Printconf Bug
by Andrei Verovski 03 May '01

03 May '01

Hi, I am trying to add printer through Yast2 -> Configure Printers. I have two TCPI/IP forwarding queues I have added manually and which are working OK. So, I am choosing Add -> Prefilter queue for remote printer -> Create new one (hostname 192.168.0.132, name of remote queue hp2200dn), test is OK -> Manufacturer/model:GhostScript devices/ljet4 -> Printer's name: HP2200DN_GS/name of TCP/IP queue hp2200dn And then, yast2 brings error message that name is invalid (it should be less than 20 chars, and contain only alphanumeric characters and underscore), no matter what name I am using. The same happens if I am trying to add remote queue. Anyone knows how this annoying behavior could be fixed? I have 7.1 x86. Thanks in advance Andrei

bandwith control
by Morsal Roudbay 03 May '01

03 May '01

I've been trying to search the suse list at lists.suse.com but I cant find anything related to this matter, it returns zero hits. I'd like to limit my current 100MBit eth0 to 0,5MBit. Preferably both in and out. This machine is serving as a router (kernel 2.2.x) for a LAN (192.168.0.0). Abuse is a problem so I'm forced to limit the bandwith somehow. Shapecfg and cbq are two options I have looked into, but are there any other options that work better? TIA
