rsync vs. rdiff-backup...what's the difference?
by Tom Nielsen 01 Dec '03

01 Dec '03

What's the difference between rsync and rdiff-backup? They seem to do the exact same thing. My goal is to: Backup changed, added or deleted files on my system from one drive (/dev/hda) to another (/dev/hdb). Actually, deleted files would be removed from my backup upon nightly backup runs. I won't be doing anything over a network. Tom -- Tom Nielsen Neuro Logic Systems 805.389.5435 x18 www.neuro-logic.com

by himbA 01 Dec '03

01 Dec '03

Hi, I have a LAN with few Ms boxes and one suse9 box with firewall (needed for notebook connected to other netcard). I want to be able to play network games, that use DirectPlay under windows, on my notebook, so that I could access other computers on LAN. I already added static routes to MS boxes and notebook and I can ping in both ways. I used Yast for firewall configuration. LAN: 192.168.1.x NOTEBOOK: 192.168.0.x Suse9 BOX: eth0 - LAN, eth1 - notebook What do I have to do to get ports used by MS games using DirectPlay forwarded to box inside (notebook)? rgds, himba -- This €-mail was Kmailed.

You'll need several disks to do it. Boot Modules1 Modules2 Modules3 Modules4 etc. Then you can load the modules manually and setup the network install, assuming you have ftpd or nfsd running on the machine with the files. You should also be able to install from rpms on the disk, providing they are configured the way Yast wants to see them for the install. Look in the ftp directories to see what hidden files are needed to direct the orchestra through the installation waltz.

ulb-themes
by Donald Henson 01 Dec '03

01 Dec '03

About a week ago, someone reported a problem with the latest apt install of ulb-gnome. James replied that there was a missing dependency (ulb-themes) in the ulb-gnome package. (I hope I'm getting somewhere near the correct terminology.) Has that dependency been corrected? If not, is a workaround to install ulb-themes and ulb-gnome at the same time? Don Henson

VCD and kavi2svcd
by marcia 01 Dec '03

01 Dec '03

Dear All, Thanks for the kavi2svcd advice. I finally got it installed and I like the looks of it. I placed my mpeg into it to turn into vcd and it supposedly did so successfully , but I cannot find the file. I even chose the destination file, but just cannot find it. I need to find it of course so that I can burn it with K3b. Any ideas here? Here is the log in case anyone wishes to look at it:===================== transcode -i "/home/marcia/Desktop/MainActorhelp/photoproject/photoproj1.mpg" -y mpeg2enc,null -E 44100 -F1 -w 1152 -b 224 -Z 352x240 -j -12 -o "/home/marcia/Desktop/MainActorhelp/photoproject/photoproj1/vcdfinshed" -export_asr 2 ================== |E| transcode v0.6.11 (C) 2001-2003 Thomas Oestreich, 2003 T.

Need advice on 9.0 upgrade/install
by Jim Sabatke 01 Dec '03

01 Dec '03

I'm expecting my 9.0 Pro package to arrive any day (depending on the good graces of Amazon.com) I've been doing upgrades since, oh gosh, I think before 6.0, and I do have some strange things happening on my system. I'd like to do a fresh install, but I'm a bit afraid of losing some important programs, config files, etc. I've got custom stuff under /etc and quite a few programs I've compiled and installed over the years. One of my big concerns is with system fonts, TeX fonts and lots of extra other TeX files scattered about its directory tree, and some other misc. things. I assume a fresh install wipes everything out. Is there a good plan of attack for doing this without losing valuable things? BTW, now I've decided that I'm going to be much more careful about documenting what I add to the system. -- Jim Sabatke Hire Me!! - See my resume at http://my.execpc.com/~jsabatke Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for you are crunchy and good with ketchup.

I'm not sure, but I don't think you're going to be able to fit everything you need to boot with network support on a floppy. Somebody else may know better than I, however, I do know that you wouldn't want to select a "network" install if you are installing from your had disk; you would want to select a "Hard Disk" install. Or, alternately, you could install via ftp with the boot parameter: install=ftp://www.blah.com However, for that you would still need to be able to boot with network support. If you have everything downloaded to your hard drive, then you won't need to boot with network support and you should just be able to make a bootable floppy. You can ask how to do that seperately.

SuSE 9.0 ATI Radeon Drivers
by Pacheco Jason NPRI 01 Dec '03

01 Dec '03

I installed the new radeon drivers, which apparently don't come with a prebuilt module for my kernel. So I decided to build my own. I have only ever compiled kernel source on RedHat systems, and SuSE seems to be very different in its setup. Anyway, I completely failed in my attempt, X still will not boot, has anybody managed to build a custom module for this or any other application? Is there any help available on the net? My main problem is locating the DRM headers and kernel includes and all that. I think I have to modify the /lib/modules/fglrx/build_module/make.sh script that automates the building of the module. It does not seem to be looking in the right places for my headers and things. One last comment. `make cloneconfig'?!?!? Why don't all other distro's have this? This is wonderful!
