CDR Questions
by Chris Herrnberger 01 Jul '01

01 Jul '01

Seems that my local lug list is tied up with Canada Day...sooo got a small problem and was wondering if there are some ideas. Burning a iso image on a maxwell 700MB disk gives the following output from cdrecord: Using generic SCSI-3/mmc CD-R driver (mmc_cdr). Driver flags : SWABAUDIO Drive buf size : 1632256 = 1594 KB FIFO size : 4194304 = 4096 KB Track 01: data 645 MB Total size: 741 MB (73:29.41) = 330706 sectors Lout start: 742 MB (73:31/31) = 330706 sectors Current Secsize: 2048 ATIP start of lead in: -11752 (97:25/23) ATIP start of lead out: 359849 (79:59/74) Track 01 reads a 645MB with a total size of 741MB so Im assuming that this will be a coaster or incomplete iso? Are there any tricks to get the 741MB of data on a 700M disc and have it bootable?(note disc boots fine) I am anticipating a "no" as a response but thought I would check anyway....:) Chris

DVD viewing with xine
by Anders Johansson 01 Jul '01

01 Jul '01

Since dicovering that hdparm can be used to set the dvd's dma, even though yast2 says it can't, I've been able to watch dvds in linux, and it works quite well. However, in xine, I can't seem to get it to play discs from another region. Searching the net, all I can find are HOWTOs and FAQs that tell me that the disk is probably from another region - well, duh :) Now, I can watch the dvds in VLC, so I know it's not a hardware restriction (unfortunately vlc has other problems, such as audio/video synchronisation, but it could be an option in the future). So the question is: has anyone been able to get xine to play DVDs from a region other than their default, and if so how? Anders

It's strange.

wvdial failing
by michael norman 01 Jul '01

01 Jul '01

Hi all I have upgraded my 71 to 7.2. Since the wvdial mostly fails to connect first time to my isp, usually taking until the 3rd try to make a connection. I tried kppp to check whether it might be a problem at the isp end but foiund that kppp connects first time and more quickly than wvdial takes when it works. Is there a problem with the wvdial used in 7.2 ? Cheers Mike

I'm sure there is a free script out there somewhere. "Curl" is a commandline program that does ftp, I'm sure you could call it from a script.

Hi SuSErs; Does anyone know of affordable printer that works well in full color with home network of 3 computers. The Linux will be my print server. Others can print through TCP/IpI saw Lexmark Z52, but not sure how it performs with SuSE 7.1. I'm in FL, USA and I prefer a local retailer. thanks in advance
