Scanner install
by Alain Barthélemy 01 Nov '03

01 Nov '03

SuSE (8.2 for me now) & Yast2 are improving. Devices are detected automatically (it is not only the fact of SuSE of course). For the first time I tried installing my HP Scanjet 6200C with Yast2. Two years ago it had to be done almost manually, now it goes very fast, the scanner is detected and the Sane module is installed automatically. Still one problem (It is fortunate that I used to install a scanner manually): Yast 2 still forget to make chmod 666 /dev/usbscanner. If the write permission is not set for all users you have no hope to scan anything. As for Kooka I stay with xsane and Gimp: faster and more interactive. -- Alain Barthélemy cassandre(a)bartydeux.be http://www.bartydeux.be Linux User #315631

XMMS Audio Playback
by LinuxWorld999 01 Nov '03

01 Nov '03

There was a thread running on this list concerning XMMS. The thread cannot be located but the user concerned could not hear any sound using XMMS player. Having had no problems in SuSE 8.2 the assumption was that there should be no problems in 9. Lo and behld, XMMS does not give audio playback under 9. However, not having upgraded 8.2 on my laptop and with XMMS giving audio playback, the settings were checked. The following settings havew to be changed: Right click on the XMMS player, and select ->options -> Preferences On the Audio I/O Plugins, select Input Plugins -> CD Audio Player 1.2.8 -> click on configure -> under the Play Mode selct Digital audio extraction. Clicking on the "check drive" button gives an error message. Ignore this for the moment. Not sure this matters, but enter the device and directory details to match the settings on the PC. Click the "OK" button and then the "APPLY" button on the Preferences dialog box. For information the Output Plugin selected is ALSA. After selecting a track, audio playback works.

mplayer missing gui
by Thom Nuzum 01 Nov '03

I installed MPlayer as recommended from pacman. I get no entry in Yast and also there is no gui interface. I can start it from a shell though but its test mode only. Anyone know where I can get the gui interface. Thom Nuzum thom(a)cavtel.net

9.0 and nVidia
by Fred Miller 01 Nov '03

01 Nov '03

Isn't it nice. A new release of SuSE and you STILL can't get 3D via the supplied driver nor the most current on the nVidia site. I don't know who to blame, but I DO know I'm going to encourage everyone I can to boycot ALL nVidia products!!

Re: [SLE] Installing Oracle 9i on Suse 8.2
by pseep＠mail.gr 01 Nov '03

I suppose that the CPU will be Intel. Will Oracle work better on a 3GH intel 4 or a SPARC machine V250? Because the second machine costs much more than the first as you know :) Óôßò Sat, 01 Nov 2003 07:33:30 -0500 David Krider Ýãñáøå: > On Sat, 2003-11-01 at 07:26, pseep(a)mail.gr wrote: > > Has anyone ever installed Oracle 9i on Suse? > > Sure.

USB Mouse Advice
by Dom Incollingo 01 Nov '03

01 Nov '03

Hi, I'm planning to install 9.0 professional (currently on 8.1) and to replace my ps2 mouse with a Logitech Cordless Optical mouse (usb connection). I'm a bit apprehensive, because I had a few mouse problems in 8.1 and had to tweak my XF86Config file to get the mouse to work properly. Has anyone had success using a Logitech Cordless Optical usb mouse? If so, would you mind sharing the mouse section ("InputDevice") of your XF86Config file? Thanks very much for your help! Dom

Postfix-cyrus-cyradm-HOWTO
by Allister Gearon 01 Nov '03

01 Nov '03

Hi all, I am following the HOWTO (revision 1.2.3 at http://www.delouw.ch/linux/postfix/phtml ) and have got stuck (on a SuSE 8.2 pro). I have got as far as 3.5.3, 'Building and Installing' postfix. The problem I am having is with the make command make makefiles 'CCARGS=-DHAS_MYSQL -I/usr/include/mysql -DUSE_SASL_AUTH -I/usr/local/includ e/sasl -I/usr/local/bdb/include' 'AUXLIBS=-L/usr/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient -lz -lm -L/usr/local/lib -lsasl2 -L/ usr/local/bdb/lib' The make program complained that, 'No <db.h> include file was found' despite the file's location (it is installed) being passed to the program as an argument, '-I/usr/local/bdb/include'. There is also some question as to the placing of the quotes- should they rather be, CCARGS=' I am no expert at this, but I have been following the howto and sailing along (relatively) until this point, and I would like to be able to complete it. Thanks for any advice you might have. Allister Gearon Fairford Electronics Coombe Works Derby Road Kingsbridge Devon, TQ7 1JL United Kingdom engineers(a)fairford.co.uk
