RE: [SLE] cyrus / ldap / authentication whining

I have also just setup cyrus-imap at home It gives the appearance of working using "plain" authentication. The documentation for cyrus-imap & cyrus-sasl show that sasl is an auth system independent of shell accounts. The "saslpasswd2" command is used to create sasl accounts which are recorded in "sasldb" Tonight I will investigate using this auth. mechanism, having successfully created the sasl accounts hth -- Sylvanus A.

Alternative install?
by chris 30 Oct '03

30 Oct '03

Hello all, Since I can't get the SuSE CD's to boot on my laptop (HP ze4125), I was wondering if there is another way to get SuSE up and running. I was thinking I could recreate the cd1 boot disk with a recompiled kernel. I'm I thinking too simply? Anybody with experience here? Do you have any other tips? I would love to avoid making a new boot disk if possible. A couple things: -No, I don't have a floppy drive. -8.2 worked fine -I now have XP and Fedora Core Beta installed (--install from XP?--) -I have access to NFS server (--network install?--) Thanks in advance.

You can do it, but you WON'T have 3D! nVidia has had it's had in the bucket for awhile, and SUSE hasn't pushed them enough, I don't think, to get this problem resolved, which has been there since the KDE updates of 8.2. -- "...Linux, MS-DOS, and Windows XP (also known as the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly)."

SuSE 9.0 alsa bug
by Jonathan C. Sitte 30 Oct '03

Anyone know why my alsa is choppy? I tested OSS and it was fine. I was running SuSE 8.2 before and did not have this problem. Any fast fix for this? I have attached the modules.conf from 9.0.

Hi Paul First of all, grab your towel and don't panic. Then look at the error-log, what does it say? Maybe there's another error, because inappropriate ioctl for device means that an io-device is not appropriate for the configured purpose (e.g. a read-only filesystem for logfiles or a 100% full fs, reading from stdout, writing stdin, et al).

External monitor image smeared
by Duane Wilson 30 Oct '03

30 Oct '03

Just upgraded my Dell Inspiron 8100 from 8.1 to 8.2. Now if I connect a monitor to the external port I get a grossly enlarged and smeared image that I can only see a small part of. This only effects the external monitor. The lcd on the laptop remains unchanged. Video care is Nvidia GeForce2 go. Don't know how to tell what driver it is using, but tried to install Nvidia 4496 driver but couldn't. Someone please steer me in the right direction. Duane attached is the install log if that helps
