K3B - losing config information?
by Jim Norton 02 Nov '03

02 Nov '03

Hello folks. I've got a weird problem that has appeared since upgrading KDE and some other thing, though I don't know if that is what caused the problem. Anyways, I run K3B-Setup and it finds the devices and programs and everything is good. However, when I run K3B it doesn't seem to detect the devices and says some of the programs are not available ( even though this all was detected by the setup ). Anybody know how to fix this? Is there a new version of K3B? I have the version that was installed with SuSE 8.1 Thanks again, Jim

trouble with SIS7012 aka Intel i8x0 onboard sound card
by Maike Dulk / Miranda Peeters 02 Nov '03

02 Nov '03

Hello, I've recently installed SuSE 8.2 on a new machine (intel P4 2600 MHz, P4 Titan GA-8SG800 board). There were some (3D acceleration) problems with the NVidia GEForce video card, but I've got all that working now. One thing remains problematic, and that's sound. This P4 board has got an onboard sound system, detected by SuSE as a SIS7012 / Intel i8x0. The problem is that there is simply no sound. The boot.msg says: <snip> <notice>'/etc/init.d/rc5.d/S10smbfs start' exits with status 6 <notice>/etc/init.d/rc5.d/S13alsasound start <notice>'/etc/init.d/rc5.d/S13alsasound start' exits with status 0 <notice>/etc/init.d/rc5.d/S13fbset start <notice>Searching for unresolved configuration files done Please check the following files (see /var/adm/rpmconfigcheck): /etc/mailman.mail-gid.rpmnew <snip> and in /etc/mailman.mail-gid.rpmnew is just '65533'. (and the boot.msg ends with "Skipped services in runlevel 5: smbfs") The TTY10 console says things like: - modprobe: can't locate Module sound-slot-0 - modprobe: can't locate Module sound-service-0-0 - modprobe: can't locate Module char-major-116 over and over again. I can see there's two lines in modules.conf mentioning 'major-116', but thery're commented out. I do not know if I can simply start fiddling with these lines in modules.conf, but since I'm reasonably new to Linux, I thought it's better to ask first before I start breaking things :-) Some days ago I ran alsaconf; which indeed succeeded insofar that I could now play device sounds ... but they sound very bad (like multiple modules are loaded) and MIDI and the like are still dead; I get repeated messages saying 'no sound card available or not yet configured'. So, I deleted the ALSACONF portion again from the modules.conf, and am back to no sound at all. Here my lack of experience starts to take its toll: I'm at a loss. Anyone any idea what to try next? thanks a lot ... Maike

9.0 DVD installation troubles
by E.F.Maurer 02 Nov '03

02 Nov '03

Has anyone else had troubles installing from the dvd? The computer booted fine, but when it got to the software proposal I got a no packages found / media error message. I ended up installing from the cd's and now i can't even change the source of installation to the dvd. Yast doesn't even check the dvd drive, only my cd burner. I can mount the dvd, and the packages are there, so I don't think it's a media problem. Here's the info from boot.msg for my dvd <4>hdd: JLMS DVD-ROM LTD-166S, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive 4>hdd: attached ide-cdrom driver. <6>hdd: ATAPI 48X DVD-ROM drive, 512kB Cache I have noticed that there isn't a hdd=ide-cd in grub anymore, is this no longer needed in 9.0? TIA

by Michał Miłoś 02 Nov '03

02 Nov '03

Hi there! I've got a Canon i250 printer and there are no drivers for it on the Canon CD... Also I tried to find one on linuxprinting - but there people said that the only way (they know) is buying TurboPrint (www.turboprint.de) It costs 25 EUR and my printer - 50... Maybe there is any other way to print on my i250? TIA -- [ Pozdrawiam, Michał Miłoś :: Krasnall ] [ JID krasnall(@)chrome_pl ][ GG122583 ] [ Więcej o mnie na: http://Krasnall.TK ]

K3b
by Michael Satterwhite 02 Nov '03

02 Nov '03

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I just tried to upgrade to K3b 0.10.1 under SuSE 8.2. I retrieved the SuSE 8.2 RPM from their site (and the dvd+rw tools SuSE RPM), installed both of them, then tried to run K3b. It crashed anytime I tried to open a project. No problem, I thought. I'll uninstall it (rpm -e), then reinstall from the 8.2 DVD. I can't find it there. I've looked under multimedia, and even used search for "K3b" and "k3b". It doesn't show up. Does anyone know where it is? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2-rc1-SuSE (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/pElxjeziQOokQnARAgjhAJ0f1QQ7w5qFj5PRR4VBxL1UhZJX4gCgpa5R fcKe9eFhNrAqEwEXlFwkYu0= =aiA/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Fetchmail oddity in 9.0
by E.F.Maurer 02 Nov '03

02 Nov '03

I had a really hard time setting up fetchmail and procmail in 9.0 but i finally got it to work. But now when fetchmail is running I get fetchmail: could not decode BASE64 challenge I did add ssl to each of my entries in .fetchmailrc poll mail.comcast.net with proto POP3 user 'efm_lists' there with password '@' is 'maurerfranklin' here options fetchall ssl mda "/usr/bin/procmail -d %T" user 'efmaurer' there with password '@' is 'maurerfranklin' here options fetchall ssl mda "/usr/bin/procmail -d %T" user 'franklinmaurer' there with password '@' is 'maurerfranklin' here options fetchall ssl mda "/usr/bin/procmail -d %T" Is it possible that the ssl has something to do with this? Will this cause a problem? TIA

Setting up hosts file
by Örn Hansen 02 Nov '03

02 Nov '03

Hi all, I just got my new SuSE 9.0 yesterday and must say I am pleased with the results. Overall the system is brilliant. Now to the real issue, I got the following line in my /etc/hosts: 127.0.0.2 machine.domain.name machine I got this cheap broadband router, with dhcp and a minimal nat firewall. It doesn't provide any communication about name, etc. Only leases IP addresses in its range. Now, I've setup SUSE to have the specific machine.domain.name and that it should not modify this name based on the dhcp. Because if it does, it's simply get local.localhost as the name. The true IP address it gets is 192.168.0.x but SUSE always sets it up as above, with the second lo ip address. Anyone know how to get suse to set the IP/NAME correctly in the hosts file?
