Thanks again, Anders Hopefully this is the last question......... When I try to mount the remote filesystem I get an error: mount: directory to mount not in host:dir format I've tried setting up the mountpoints in YaST2 as well, but same error. David

re: [SLE] latest samba updates?

>> How Can we get the latest samba updates... Lars Muelle keeps an upto date set of RPMs at ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/lmuelle If you get the binary rpm, you have to get both the base package, and the authentication package. For authentication, you have 2 choices: classic or ldap. Use classic unless you specifically need ldap.

I don't know how big your tapes internal buffer is, but 32 kb is puny. Let's say you can conceivably pull in data at 3.6 GB/hour. Thats 1 MB/sec. or 1KB/msec. So that is only a 32 millisecond buffer. I am NOT a Linux tape expert, but it sure sounds small. I normally try to have about a seconds worth of buffer in the system. That can either be in the drive itself, or in the server. That being the case you would want a Meg.

xmms playing too fast
by FX Fraipont 26 Jun '02

26 Jun '02

There was a recent thread on a problem with xmms in which no sound was heard, and the files were playing at high speed, as if the diskwriter plugin was selected, though alsa or oss are. Now I find I have the same problem in SuSE 7.3. But CD's play fine with Kscd. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with my Philips usb webcam, which I installed a couple of days ago: it comes with a built-in microphone. When I launch kmixer now, I only have the usb-mike. All other devices are gone. I checked the SuSE archives, found the thread, but did not find a solution. Could anyone please help? Thanks fxf -- ______________________ Courtesy of SuSE Linux
