ssh problem with passwd on SUSE 9.0
by Greg Freemyer 29 Dec '03

29 Dec '03

I assume sshd works in general for SUSE 9.0? I have just tried to use the ssh daemon for the first time and it is not working for me. In /var/log/messages I'm getting: "Dec 29 14:23:23 david sshd[20290]: Failed password for root from::ffff:10.0.1.100 port 1995" What else should I check? FYI: With both boxes I can connect as a normal user via the console and sux to root. No problems, so I know I have the passwords right. Thanks Greg -- Greg Freemyer

<snip> >> Can anyone recommend a pcmcia wireless card that will just work after >> I insert it, or work with a minimum of fuss? I can vouch for the Lucent Orinoco WiFi card. I bought one several months ago and have yet to have a single issue with it working under Linux with 3 different laptops... http://castle.pricewatch.com/search/search.idq?&CiBookMark=N-1e33790-a2c 8c9-10&cr=orinoco&qc=%22ORINOCO%22%2A&CiBookmarkSkipCount=-15 should be a good start to find one. </snip> My two cents... I had heard great things about the orinoco cards, and actually I don't recall ever seeing a post on "why won't this thing work?" for those cards so that is probably a good way to go. I am personally using a linksys v.3 card, which I did get to work, however I had problems with the prism2 drivers and had to use the ornioco ones (I'm running 8.1 prof. on a vaio laptop) so I guess that'd be another reason to go with the orinoco card.

I have already to set the 192.168.1.1 as the getway with no success as far as the ip 192.168.1.1 is not pingable (from a networked winpc). The WinNt which acts as a file server owns the 192.168.1.2 Any ideas?

No sound from Real Player
by Janus Sandsgaard 29 Dec '03

29 Dec '03

I have a fresh installation of SuSE 9.0 Personal. Everything seem to work "out of the box" exept Real Player. When trying to play something is goes "Cannot open the audio device. Another application may be using it". As far as I can tell I have no other audio applications open. Suggestions? -j PS: I installed Mandrake on this same machine, and here Real Player worked "out of the box". -- Janus Sandsgaard http://janus.dk

Grub and Login backgrounds
by Russ 29 Dec '03

29 Dec '03

Hi All, I would like to change the background that Grub uses. I would also like to change the background for the SuSE login screen. I would actually like to reverse them. They seem to me to be backwards. When you boot the machine and Grub shows up, I think the "Welcome" background (at least I assume that is what the other languages are saying) would be more appropriate than the SuSE logo. The logo would be more appropriate at the login screen (at least in my opinion). Anyway, I found where the Grub Logo is at /boot/message, I also found where the file (jpg/png) is at that I would like to use (/opt/kde3/share/wallpapers/SuSE-kdm.jpeg and a png file). However, if I replace "message" (about 63kb) with the png (about 219kb) file it says it is too big. If I replace it with the JPG (about 43kb) it tells me it is the wrong format. What is the correct format? How do I convert this to the proper format? Also, Where is the background for the login screen stored? I believe it is KDE's login screen. How would I go about changing it? Thanks Russ

pcmcia wireless card
by Lawrence Hass 29 Dec '03

29 Dec '03

Hi All, I just joined this group and been reading numerous entries in this and other groups regarding wireless network cards for Linux. It seems that many folks are struggling to get them configured and working. I just purchased a Linksys WPC11 card after calling Linksys and receiving confirmation that they thought it would work. When it didn't work I did some more reading and learned that I had purchased a v.4 card which has a Realtek chipset which isn't going to be plug-n-play. Can anyone recommend a pcmcia wireless card that will just work after I insert it, or work with a minimum of fuss? thanks, Larry

Sorry for sending this message ... U N F O R T U N A T E L Y !!! It is ***impossible*** to unsubscribe from this discussion list ! I have done the followings: 1 I have sent 6 mesages to the correct unsbscribing email address, received the confirmation, however continued to receive (a lot of) emails from group members; 2. I have sent 3 messages to the owner of this list - of course, I used the correct email address - and nothing happened. WHAT SHOULD I DO TO REALLY UNSUBSCRIBE ? Please, help !

Personally, I believe > they deserve all the flamage they receive. Flamage creates even more list traffic. Instead of stomping on the clueless, let's just tell them to send an (arbitrary) message to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe(a)suse.com. They'll go away quietly and never be heard from again, which is, I assume, the desired outcome.
