Java + Konqueror (applets not displayed in browser)
by Jamie O'Shaughnessy 02 Aug '01

02 Aug '01

(SuSE 7.2) Does anyone know how to fix Java in Konqueror so that it displays applets inline in the browser rather than in their own window? e.g. http://www.techtronics.com - look at the navigator applet, it starts up in a separate window and shouldn't. I'm using the IBM 1.3 JDK BTW, anyone have this working with a different JDK? Had a search around and couldn't find anything. Cheers, Jamie -- Jamie O'Shaughnessy jamie.oshaughnessy(a)ntlworld.com

Is SuSE actually following GNU-GPL? always wondering… because I don’t see any reliable GPL license quotations on their product for the past years… anything about? Regards Fel

Arrggghhh Linux is such a joy not - install of 4.1 part II
by Briggs, N. - Neil - 02 Aug '01

02 Aug '01

Well here I am again, trying to install 4.1 which I think has worked correctly. Problem is my applications are not working any more, other than KDE based apps. The binaries and installtation procedure I downloaded from the Xfree site and choose the 4.1 binaries. I have now read the following :- "The next step when installing over an existing version is to check for existing configuration files. As of Xfree86 version 3.9.18, the run time configuration files are installed by default under /etc/X11 instead of under /usr/X11R6/lib/X11. The installer will move the existing ones for you and create the necessary symbolic links" I thought this may be my problem so I copied the file from the old library to the /etc/X11 library. The copy kept failing. Finally perfromed the copy as root using GUI So I logged in as root and tried to create a link ln -s target source - the link was created successfully, now I dont know what a symbolic link is or why I need one, but one has been defined and it has made not a jot of difference. When I try to execute x3270 is doen't work.(clicking on the icon on the desk top) Where do I see messages telling that something is wrong. I see nothing on the console. As per usual with trying to install something on linux I feel worn down and frustrated. I have wasted all afternoon. Cannot perform my work because the application I use wont run. My screens look nice with the higher resolution and correct graphic card driver but what use is that when I can't do my work. I feel like swearing and throwing the Linux CD's in the bin never to be seen again. But not to give up I decided I would reinstall the x3270 program. I download the tar ball x3270-3.2A1.tgz. The I tried to untar the file tar -xvfz x3270*.tgz Operation failed something about the options used (I am on windows now so can't remember exactly). So I am now at the point of Nice desk top, no x3270, cannot Install a new x3270. Off to the pub to get pissed out of my head and probably start a fight. Geez I am a user I want to use but ...... rant moan rant vent moan. I know this is all probably my lack of knowledge rather than linux. But I am finding it very frustrating. Yours sulking now Neil

On our EmailServer II LDAP works too slow eating almost all CPU. What is a preferred LDAP configuration to make it fast (like launch only with INETD)? - Alexey

Graphical boot vs screensavers vs energy savers
by Paul C.Leopardi 02 Aug '01

02 Aug '01

Hi, I've noticed a pecularity in my graphical boot on SuSE Linux 7.2 (x386). I have set up KDE 2 screensaver to 15 minutes (blank screen) and my KDE 2 energy saver standby to 30 minutes. When I reboot after a power failure, the boot process does an fsck on my large hard disk partition /dev/hdb7 (21.3 GB). This takes some time. At some point during the graphical boot, the screen blanks and stays blank. I've checked /var/log/messages and it looks like the boot continues and succeeds, but I can't get the screen to come to life. The only way to recover is to boot from the rescue system, run e2fsck on /dev/hdb7 and then reboot. The system then comes up normally. Has anyone seen this before? Should I disable graphical boot, or screen saver, or standby? Or is this just a coincidence? Or is it a bug? If it is a bug, should I report it to SuSE or to KDE or both? Thanks!

Some Apache config questions
by Ronald Wiplinger 02 Aug '01

02 Aug '01

I got some Apache config questions. My httpd.conf ends like that: <----------------> NameVirtualHost 61.219.255.186 <VirtualHost 61.219.255.186> # get the server name from the Host: header UseCanonicalName Off # this log fomat can be split per-virtual-host based on the first field LogFormat "%V %h %l %u %t \"%r\" %s %b" vcommon CustomLog /var/log/virtual_access_log vcommon # include the server name in the filenames used to satisfy requests VirtualDocumentRoot /usr/local/httpd/virtual/%0/htdocs VirtualScriptAlias /usr/local/httpd/virtual/%0/cgi-bin </VirtualHost> # redirect the server name to onother place <VirtualHost ronald.elmit.com> VirtualDocumentRoot /usr/local/httpd/virtual/ronald.elmit.com/htdocs RedirectPermanent /usr/local/httpd/virtual/ronald.elmit.com/htdocs/ http://www.elmit.com/~ronald/ # ServerAdmin webmaster(a)host.some_domain.com # DocumentRoot /www/docs/host.some_domain.com # ServerName host.some_domain.com # ErrorLog logs/host.some_domain.com-error_log # CustomLog logs/host.some_domain.com-access_log common </VirtualHost> <----------------> 1. The part of the virtual domains works great, except that the cgi-directory is NOT used !!! ??? 2. The redirect part I don't get to work at all. I want that a virtual domain will be redirected to another sites user directory 3. I want to use webalizer, but it is not "ready" to go with the structure of the virtual domains. Does anybody have a right config file for webalizer? 4. For some unknown reason my neomail stops to work. The error log file looks so: [Thu Aug 2 21:31:01 2001] [notice] Apache/1.3.12 (Unix) (SuSE/Linux) ApacheJServ/1.1 mod_fastcgi/2.2.2 DAV/0.9.14 mod_perl/1.21 PHP/3.0.16 mod_ssl/2.6.2 OpenSSL/0.9.5 configured -- resuming normal operations [Thu Aug 2 21:31:01 2001] [notice] suEXEC mechanism enabled (wrapper: /usr/sbin/suexec) Can't do setuid [Thu Aug 2 21:31:25 2001] [error] [client 192.168.250.125] Premature end of script headers: /usr/local/httpd/cgi-bin/neomail.pl [Thu Aug 2 21:31:42 2001] [error] [client 192.168.250.125] File does not exist: /usr/local/httpd/virtual/ronald.elmit.com/htdocs/ [Thu Aug 2 21:33:50 2001] [error] [client 210.85.9.247] File does not exist: /usr/local/httpd/virtual/www.elmit.com/htdocs/_vti_inf.html [Thu Aug 2 21:33:51 2001] [error] [client 210.85.9.247] File does not exist: /usr/local/httpd/virtual/www.elmit.com/htdocs/_vti_bin/shtml.exe/_vti_rpc Can't do setuid [Thu Aug 2 21:38:54 2001] [error] [client 192.168.250.125] Premature end of script headers: /usr/local/httpd/cgi-bin/neomail.pl [Thu Aug 2 21:44:21 2001] [error] [client 200.11.200.196] Client sent malformed Host header What could be the reason that now the log file says Can't do setuid ??? With that the script cannot start and " Premature end of script headers: /usr/local/httpd/cgi-bin/neomail.pl" is the answer. (I have updated some components via rpm, but I cannot rmember if a component could cause that. BTW Apache refused to upgrade via rpm with NO ERROR) Ronald BTW, what are the other entries from a user, for _vti_inf.html files (no doubt M$, but why?)
