TAR - still not solved problem
by Oliver Ob 03 Mar '03

03 Mar '03

Hello folks, this is about TAR and how it copes with the GERMAN letters for ae oe ue. I have a backup-tgz of my windoze 98 partition and now want to copy it back into a fresh installed system. The problem is: tar comes me with "tar: filename: invalid argument cannot open filename" whereever "filename" contains such a char such as \201 and stuff. I have found out that I for example cannot extract my STARTMENUE folder out of this tar, because the "UE" is a GERMAN char abbreviated or lets call it changed by tar to Startmen\201/ so that it cannot open a directory called like that This is truely annoying. Where is a workaround this? Vishal Khanna schrieb: > > it is better not_to_use german file names.. I had this problem > also, but I am told with a german installation or lang pack > it should work plus setting your locales etc. correctly Not to use german letters is no solution as Windoze does and I backup our bureau network using tar. Windoze uses for example the name "Startmenu" - where the letter "u" is a german "ue" and you can do nothing against it! So what precisely do you mean with lang pack?! Under Linux? How do I tell tar to leave the filenames UNtouched as they are?! Still not solved this. -- *º¤.,___,.¤º*¨¨¨*¤ =Oliver@home= *º¤.,¸¸¸,.¤º*¨¨*¤ I / __|__ http://www.bmw-roadster.de/Friends/Olli/olli.html I I / / |_/ http://www.bmw-roadster.de/Friends/friends.html I I \ \__|_\ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/VGAP-93 I I \___| mailto:VGAP-93-subscribe@yahoogroups.com I >>> Telek0ma iBBMS - moving house, but online! +49....TRSi1 <<<

VISIONEER 8100 scanner
by Sharpe, Richard 03 Mar '03

03 Mar '03

Hi Has anyone had any luck getting the VISIONEER 8100 scanner working ? It does not seem to have a SANE driver or at least I can't find one. It might even be better to give the 8100 away to a Windows user and buy another, but I hate to waste funds that I could use elsewhere.

Error when trying to ssh
by Tom Nielsen 03 Mar '03

03 Mar '03

When I ssh into my office computer, everything goes fine (except I can't scp from it). When I try to ssh into my home computer from the office, I get the following error: ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host lost connection I get this error when I try to scp a file from work to home (while at home). I used to be able to do it. I didn't screw with anything (that I'm aware of). Everything's running that's supposed to be. Any thoughts?

RE: [SLE] SuSE support

I am actually quite happy at this point with Suse Support. But only if it actually comes from the Germany offices. I have been having issues with this whole hardware freeze, and acpi thing. They sent me a love note, stating put acpi=oldboot into the boot line and that should fix it. I have not had it freeze up since, and it has been 6 days. So I am pretty happy.

SMP kernel in 8.1 problems
by Rob Sell 03 Mar '03

03 Mar '03

Has anyone else had problems with 8.1's smp kernel? I am running a dual 2.8 Xeon Dell server and when running k_smp /proc/cpuinfo only shows 1 cpu and there are many many could not find module errors. If I switch to k_dflt then things work better nic works and stuff and no module errors but still one processor(which is to be expected when running a non smp kernel). Is this a documented problem or is some funny problem with the xeon's since they have hyper threading? Rob

4.3 XFree86 problems
by PL O'Smith 03 Mar '03

03 Mar '03

Hi all, Tried updating to the new 4.3 files last evening and ran into a few problems. Installed all new files, plus DRI files and ran into the first problem that SuSEconfig stopped when generating the new fonts.cache files. Removing all fonts.cache files resolved that problem and SuSEconfig ran fine then. Logged out to init 3 to run sax2 for the new 4.3 and that went well, everything configured and looked nice there. Restarted X, got the standard login screen, still no problems. Sounding good so far, huh? :o) Booted to the KDE desktop, but could not see the first font/text on the screen, for the icons or in the shell. All windows opened elongated as if I were working on a virtual screen larger than my display. Everything had this same behavior. Display fonts gone, extremely elongated widows opeing up. Tried a few things without luck. Reinstalled 4.2 files, run sax2 and back to normal now. So, anyone else experience the same problems? Any thoughts on what happened or how to resolve getting 4.3 to work correctly? Thanks, Patrick-- --- KMail v1.5 --- SuSE Linux Pro v8.1 --- Registered Linux User #225206 On any other day, that might seem strange...

Hi, I am trying to install a package called rdesktop, it provides a terminal server window into a MS Windows Server, but my install asks for a file which I can't find libcrypto.s0.2, does anyone know if SuSE has this file anywhere I can install it from ? Once that is installed all will be fine.

Samba and CUPS
by Stuart Powell 03 Mar '03

03 Mar '03

Hello, everyone. I am having real problems getting printing to work here. I have a SuSE 8.1 Pro server and three W2K clients. An HPDJ960C is hooked up to lp0/LPT1, and configured via yast2/CUPS. Local printing from the server works great. However, the three machines connecting via Samba shares all show "Access denied, unable to connect" in the printers window. In the cupsd.conf I have added "Allow From @LOCAL" to the / and /admin locations. I can now access the admin web page remotely, but there seems to be nothing there related to security. I have made sure that "printcap name = cups" and "printing = cups" are both set in the smb.conf file, as per the directions in the CUPS documentation. The Samba server is acting as a PDC. The error implies to me that the problem is permissions related, but I can't work out where the permissions are blocking access. I have file access to all my shared drives, so the user accounts seem to be working OK. There are no clues in the CUPS log files, although it is only set up to log at the info level right now. Any help on this would be much appreciated. Thanks, Stuart.
