Problem with LinNeighborhood
by Stephen P. Molnar, Ph.D. 31 Aug '01

31 Aug '01

This may, or may not, be coincidental. Hence the cross posting. Immediately after upgrading KDE2.2 on my 750MHz Duron/Suse 7.1 I find that LinNeighborhood will no longer establish a connection to the other machine in my 2 node mini-LAN. I successfully downloaded, compiled and installed LinNeighborhood-0.6.3. The LinNeighborhood log of the attempt to connect shows: GetSMBShare:smbclient -L IGOR -I 10.0.0.1 -U% -W FFC -d3 added interface ip=10.0.0.2 bcast=10.0.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Client started (version 2.0.7). Connecting to 10.0.0.1 at port 139 session request to IGOR failed (Called name not present) Connecting to 10.0.0.1 at port 139 session request to *SMBSERVER failed (Called name not present) I would appreciate suggestions to solve this problem Thanks in advance.

Solved: IMAP client connection problem
by Jyry Kuukkanen 31 Aug '01

31 Aug '01

Hello Silly me. I should have remembered better: imapd shiped/offered since SuSE 7.0 does *not* work properly with any/some Windows clients (Netscape, ImapNotifier). The solution is to remove current imap package (SuSe 7.1/7.2) and then install imap.rpm package from 7.0 and, naturally (!!) pop3.rpm (or is it pop.rpm). What's wrong with 7.1/7.2 imap.rpm when it comes to Win+Netscape or such? --Jyry C:-( C:-/ C========8-O C8-/ C:-( Chiquita: Tuemme "Puhdas elämä (suomalaiselle) lapselle" sekä "Paha elämä banaaninpoimijalle" kampanjoita

Apache problem in SuSE 7.2 (worked in 6.4)
by David Powell 31 Aug '01

31 Aug '01

Hi, I'm having a problem with a web server that I have just switched over from using SuSE 6.4 to 7.2. The machine was wiped and re-installed with SuSE 7.2 from scratch. Everything is working fine apart from one thing. I'm trying to password protect a directory on the web site. I've changed httpd.conf to allow .htaccess overrides (AllowOverride All). I've put the following .htaccess file in the directory I want to protect: Deny from all AuthType Basic AuthUserFile /usr/local/httpd/passwords/adminpass AuthName "Admin Tools" Require valid-user Satisfy any I've also used htpasswd to create the 'adminpass' file in the correct directory. All the file permissions have been checked and are correct. Everything worked fine with these settings under SuSE 6.4 (Apache 1.3.12). Using SuSE 7.2 (Apache 1.3.19) the password request box appears as it should, but access is always denied when entering the correct username and password. Does anybody know what the problem could be? Thanks, David Powell.

Hi all I've just dl and installed kde 2.2 from the SuSE ftp site. On a whole it seems to work fine but when I try to configure kmail it crashes. I've attached the console error messages in a file called kmail.log. Would be grateful if anyone had any ideas about what is going on and how to correct it. My apologies if this has already been dealt with. I've been away on holiday and am slowly trying to catch up (only got 1900 messages left to get through) :) TIA eddie

On windows I've suffered irretrievable Registry corruption and missing or incompatible DLLs thanks to the anarchic way that software is installed (with 3rd party software overwriting key system DLLs). It's always shocking when I hear experienced computing colleagues casually mention how they've just reinstalled a brand new system because they loaded the wrong drivers for their printer or digital camera. I have a friend who is a corporate 'expert' on Windows and managed 4 reinstalls of W2K in the first week as he tried to sort out the various driver issues on his new system! When I tried to suggest that it was indicative of how inferior Windows is he became extremely annoyed (although he hasn't got much hair left to tear out after all his windows troubles). Tim Harrell

SSH Keys Continued
by Timothy R.Butler 31 Aug '01

31 Aug '01

Hi everyone, Thanks for your suggestions on getting my SSH key working properly. I still do not seem to have it working. I might note that my version of ssh-keygen does not seem to support the "-t" option. I can't figure it out. My one shell account had a little control panel to help configure SSH, and by copying my public key over there and feeding the program my IP address, I was able to log in without my password. However, on my main shell account (which doesn't have a program like that), I cannot get this to work. Both servers are RedHat Linux-based, and of course I'm running SuSE (7.1). Any more ideas? -Tim -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy R.

New Files
by Tracer Bullet 31 Aug '01

31 Aug '01

Ok, for everyone wondering if the newly updated files in KDEbase on the SuSE site are worth downloading, my vote is YES! Looks like they have fixed most if not all the little problems introduced in the last versions. There should be only 6 files needed by most that are staying on the edge! ;-) Looks like the problems with aRts are gone, and several nice new things have been added. I usually wait until I see what others say about the updates, being mr. safety, but I took the plunge this time as SuSE is one of the best to really test the programs before making them available to us.

GIMP-Print & CUPS
by Tracer Bullet 30 Aug '01

30 Aug '01

As I was looking over the CUPS installation files in Yast2, I notice there is about 25mb of printer drivers also. Are these printer drivers the same ones that come with GIMP-Print, which also uses CUPS or is GIMP-Print a whole other world of drivers specifically for GIMP? CUPS sounds very nice and I like the sound of level of control you have, but GP sounds good too and very beneficial when using GIMP!

RE: [SLE] ide-scsi in 7.2
by Peter Dixson 30 Aug '01

30 Aug '01

Jostein, Thank you for your offer to help. My problem, which no one seems to understand, is nothing to do with links. It is that although the ide-scsi module is loaded, nothing prevents the ide-cd drivers from taking over hdc & hdd. I thought the append line in /etc/lilo.config was supposed to do this. In boot.msg I get the line '<6>scsi1 : SCSI host adaptor emulation for IDE ATAPI devices' but no mention of scd0, scd1 because earlier in the boot process the ide drivers have loaded. XCDRoast cannot see the CD drives but can see my scsi scanner on scsi0 I have overcome all the linux newbie problems in the last few months and now have a fully working system except for cd writing, which is essential to me. Regards Peter Darren I have tried the initrd_modules line but no luck

sis 630 graphic card
by Luz Futten 30 Aug '01

30 Aug '01

Past week I sent a message about having problems with a sis 630 graphic card in a portable. Well, I still haven't fix it. The only solution I was given at this time is to cut features and use it with a maximum of 8 bit resolution, no acelleration, no nothing... Searching and searching, I've found a url: http://www.linuxhq.com/kernel/v2.3/patch/patch-2.4.0- test11/linux_drivers_video_sis_sis_main.c.html that talks about this. As I'm not a programmer right now, I saw that the link contains stuff written in C... Do I have to copy the content of this link and rename it as "whatever".sis.c as 'wild' c code? Any programmer out there to tell me if this "driver" is useful,doesn't cut features (I'm supposed to have a 32mb graphic card and to use it with 8 bit res. it's a crime!!!) and if so, how to make it work in my portable? Thanks! Also, I've visited the SIS website, and I've found that at this url: http://www.sis.com/support/driver/linux.htm you can find the linux drivers that sis have. I didn't found nothing useful. any other tips on how to manage with a portable motherboard full of sis630 chips (vga, soundcard, etc) and make it usable for suse 7.x? Thanks again! Luz F.

Printing with epson
by Darren Harmon 30 Aug '01

30 Aug '01

Hi; I have an epson stylus photo 700. Yast 2 has drivers for that model, but no matter what setting I choose the print quality is awful. Has anyone else had problems with this make of printer in SuSE 7.2? Is it better to turn to cups rather than yast2? p.s. How do you cancel a print job. Sometimes I choose a wrong setting and I get page after page of garbage, with no way to stop it (even after a reboot it continues)? -- ---------- Darren Harmon http://users.breathemail.net//darren.harmon1/

KOffice under 7.1 has issues with .docs that the 7.2 version does not have...
by Ben Rosenberg 30 Aug '01

30 Aug '01

Well, I guess whoever made the KOffice packages for 7.1 KDE 2.2 never checked to see if it would import .doc's correctly. I have some of the same word documents at home as I do at work and they are not seen nor am I able to open them. These are the same documentation that I reference at work..and it's a no go. I guess more care was taken for the 7.2 RPM's. Damn...I guess I have to continue to use SO5.2 at home..because I'm not upgrading at home right now. Could someone at SuSE look into this...and yes I deleted all Koffice related config files and let them be recreated. Yes, I removed the RC versions of KOffice before installing the final release. *sigh* This shouldn't be that much of a pain... -- Ben Rosenberg mailto:ben@whack.org cat CE|ME|NT|XP > /dev/null

CUPs?
by Tracer Bullet 30 Aug '01

30 Aug '01

As there has been much discussion about the CUPS printing setup in Linux here, I suddenly find myself with a question! ;-) As I seem to be one of the few on this list that is actually using SuSE as a standard desktop OS with no networking, etc. involved, I find also that my requirements are somewhat different than some of the higher uses you guys put SuSE too. So, my question is this, should/would CUPS be beneficial to someone like me right now or would it be best to stay with the default Unix print setup that I am using without problems now? I have a HP Deskjet printer, so postscript is not a big consideration right now. I also realize, I won't stay in the simple setup forever for as I progress, I will also move into networking etc. with Linux. I do quite a bit of printing though and if CUPS will provide me with better control over printing, it would be a good idea to use it, right? end of line Tracer -- ---KMail 1.3--- SuSE Linux v7.2--- Registered Linux User #225206 /tracerb(a)sprintmail.com/ *Magic Page Products* *Team Amiga* http://home.sprintmail.com/~tracerb

PHP still won't work!!!
by Tom Kostiainen 30 Aug '01

30 Aug '01

Hi! I still can't get PHP to be processed by apache. When the default page and rcapache says PHP is loaded/installed, is that someting the SuSE install has just written into the scripts or really something reported by apache? I can't find the mod_php4.c anywhere, wich the <IfModule mod_php4.c> AddType application/x-httpd-php .php AddType application/x-httpd-php .php4 AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps </IfModule> searches for. Where should it be located? Also, I can't find any LoadModule lines concerning PHP anywhere. Shouldn't there be at least one? If, where and what? Plase, someone check your settings so I could finally get apache to process my PHP files. Cheers! - tk
