Mplayer GUI
by Jay Vollmer 09 Dec '02

09 Dec '02

Hi Everybody! When I try to compile the latest Mplayer sources (0.9pre10,) on SuSE8.0 using the command: ./configure --enable-gui, I get a message at the end of the build stating that the GUI requires GTK which, it claims, is not installed. But, according to rpm, I have gtk-1.2.10-284 installed. The configure.log doesn't complain that I have the wrong version. What gives? -- JAY VOLLMER JVOLLMER(a)VISI.COM TEXT REFS DOUBLEPLUSUNGOOD SELFTHINK VERGING CRIMETHINK IGNORE FULLWISE

blocking of dial-in
by MichaelHoeller＠t-online.de 09 Dec '02

Hello, I like to dial in from work on my PC. But I like to make sure that only *I* can dial in. The system is SuSE 8.0 and I have a ISDN Fritz Card. Can I allow only my number on the card dirctly, or is there an other way to block all but my number? How can I protect aginst a faked called ID ? (Ok, my system is not fort knox - just my test machine but it would be interesting to know). Have a nice weekend, Michael

Confused about gtk2
by Anders Jarnberg 08 Dec '02

08 Dec '02

Greetings, I'm going slowly crazy over gtk2. I'm trying to build gkrellm from source, but I get the following when running configure: +++++ checking GLIB_LIBS... -lgobject-2.0 -lgthread-2.0 -lpthread -lglib-2.0 checking for gtk+-2.0 >= 2.0.5... Package gtk+-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gtk+-2.0.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'gtk+-2.0' found +++++ Looking in yast2, it says that I currently have gtk2 2.0.6-71 installed. But when looking in /usr/include all I see is 1.2, and I assume there should be a 2.0 there too ? Any ideas what could be wrong, and what I can do about it ? -- Anders Jarnberg in Stockholm, Sweden running SusE 8.1 Pro with KDE and listening to Massinova with xmms...

Port mapping a high port number to an internal workstation.
by Matthew 08 Dec '02

08 Dec '02

Hope this makes sense... Have a P2 300 SuSE 8.1 server, that is also the firewall machine and dsl router, and have an internal workstation with Flight Gear running Jpeg factory on port 2003, how would one connect from an external website to see the pictures being displayed? Is it liste as a dmz? I would love to put a link in my website at linuxsimulations.org that goes through port 2003, this should show a jpeg picture of the aircraft flying (or whatever. Which is the best way to do that? Thanks, Matt

by Harry G 08 Dec '02

I would like to know when you do a export PATH=$PATH: command, where is this being written? Also, how do you write it system wide? Just su, or do you have to log in as the root user? TIA Harry G

Installation CD boot failure
by Alexandros Karypidis 08 Dec '02

08 Dec '02

Hello all, I have a QDI Kinetiz 7E-A motherboard with a vt82c686b VIA IDE controller. The installation CD for SuSE 8.1 hangs when initializing the controller. The last messages I get from the kernel are: [...] VP_IDE: chipset revision 6 VP_IDE: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later VP_IDE: VIA vt82c686b (rev 40) IDE UDMA100 controller on pci:00:07.1 ide0: BM-DMA at 0xc000-0xc007, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:pio ide1: BM-DMA at 0xc008-0xc00f, BIOS settings: hdc:pio, hdd:pio I have tried disabling UDMA in the BIOS, booting with safe settings, using options such as "nodma" and "noautotune" as well as disconnecting the DVD/CD-RW and leaving only the HDD online. Nothing works. As a side note, the same thing happens when I try booting the system with Debian woody (both 2.2 and 2.4 kernels). Ironically, the system has had SuSE 8.0 installed and working fine for many months and will happily boot from the SuSE 8.0 installation CD. Does anyone have any ideas on what could be wrong? What are the differences among the 8.0 and 8.1 kernel configurations? Is there a way to upgrade using the 8.0 kernel? -- To err is human, but to forgive is beyond the scope of the Operating System...
