gui for xine
by gilson redrick 01 Sep '02

01 Sep '02

Wolfi: A while back, in answer to my plea, you gave me detailed instructions on how to setup an IDE DVD-ROM. Only this afternoon I tried it, and got a rub. When, after all the preliminaries, I clicked on Xine, it opened, showing the gui above the name in the middle of the screen. I clicked on the DVD button and nothing happened. It occurred to me that it might be because I had setup the link as /dev/hdc /dev/dvd, when the cdrom is set to /dev/sr0. I went back to Konsole and changed the link to /dev/sr0 /dev/dvd. I got back to xine and it came up, but *without* the gui! So, I can't test whether the DVD plays or not. How do I get the gui back? Thanks! -- Regards, gr (in /usually/ balmy, sunny Florida's Suncoast)

Sound and XMMS
by Thomas Nyman 01 Sep '02

01 Sep '02

Hi fellow SuSERs, I'm still having trouble playing sound on my system. I have downloaded and installed the latest alsa.rpm and alsa.driver.rpm from SuSE. I have run alsaconf and everything seems ok...test sound works. I have checked that the cdrom and sound-cgip on my motherboard have direct connection. I seem to have all the relevant xmms plugins. When I run xmms it plays the actual file but no sound comes forth. I have looked in alsamixer and gamixer but as far as I can tell sound is on. On my previous redhat system I would run amixer and un-mute and then I would get sound. But amixer is not on SuSE. Anyway..I am at roads end...what am I missing?? Thomas

remote ssh command execution
by Bill Parker 01 Sep '02

01 Sep '02

Hi All, I was wondering, lets assume I have two computers, A & B, and from the desktop of computer A, I have a person click on a icon which runs a shell script which contains the following: ssh <someuser>@<some_ipaddr> sudo /etc/init.d/apache stop (or start) how can I make ssh NOT prompt the user for a password (but authentication via some other method, etc) and execute the command in question? I did read up on ssh-add and ssh-agent, but i'm not getting the hang of it? -Bill

I'm having trouble both ripping from a CDRW using grip and using cdrecord as a standard user. I know this is a common problem. What's the best way to fix this, though, other than doing these things as root? Preston

Replacing Boot Sector 22.2 with Boot Sector 22.1
by Prabu Subroto 01 Sep '02

01 Sep '02

Dear my friends, I have to harddisk in my Computer. I installed windows 98 and Mandrake Linux 8.2 on my first harddisk and SuSE Linux 8 on the second harddisk. Previously, I started my SuSE with lilo on a diskette but know I decide to remove the mandrake linux and to install lilo on the MBR of the first harddisk (/dev/hda). But I have a big problem to install the LILO on the MBR. The error message is : " Lilo returned this error message : Fatal : First boot sector is version 22.2. Expecting version 22.1. " I tried to execute "fdisk /mbr" and remove the partition of mandrake linux and format it with FAT32. so my windows has two FAT32 partitions now, "drive C:" and "drive D:". I also tried "lilo -u /dev/hda" from SuSE Linux but it didn't succeeded. Please, somebody help me....... I want to launch my SuSE Linux from MBR of first harddisk as normal. Thank you very much in advance. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Finance - Get real-time stock quotes http://finance.yahoo.com

Suse -Sparc-7.3 and yast2 problem
by Anthony Hologounis 01 Sep '02

01 Sep '02

I installed the Suse 7.3 for Sparc distro on an old ultra5. I am trying to do an online update with yast2. I accept the package selection that is given but somewhere during the process the machine locks up. Is there a known problem with yast2 online updates for the sparc platform? -- Anthony Hologounis
