help with Personal Firewall?
by JeepNut 03 Mar '03

03 Mar '03

Hi all, Have SuSE 8.0 installed and have installed the EDonkey software to do some file sharing. I'm green, so bear with me.... I remember when I installed SuSE that I opted for the Personal Firewall. But now I can't do the file sharing thing without some modifications to the firewall. I can't figure out how to modify it. Heck I can't even figure out how to tell if it is actually running or not. My EDonkey error message says my port 4663 is not reachable. Can someone help me with how to adjust the firewall? Thanks in Advance! JeepNut __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Tax Center - forms, calculators, tips, more http://taxes.yahoo.com/

Fetchmail and procmail are two different animals but you seem to make them as one above. There is no way a /etc/fetchmailrc file can be ignored by fetchmail if you tell it that's the file to use. I've run both sendmail and postfix along with fetchmail and procmail and it works as I explained... for me at least.

Can not cancel print jobs
by Carlos E. R. 03 Mar '03

03 Mar '03

I'm unable to cancel print jobs from cups. If I use the web interface at http://localhost:631, I get Error: client-error-forbidden If I try from the "kde printing manager", it allows me to cancel the job, but the printer goes on printing; I have to power cycle it, and usually it tries to continue printing again, maybe a blank page (an inkjet type, with insufficient memory to hold a page in memory buffer). -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson

Cups / gimp-print
by David Johanson 03 Mar '03

03 Mar '03

I'm trying hard to get cups and gimp-print set up on this 7.1 box. I've followed the instructions on the "Gimp-Print and CUPS Installation Guide" by Mark Williamson and have reached the point where I'm supposed to connect to http://localhost:631 but everytime I try I get an Mozilla Alert error saying "The connection was refused when attempting to contact localhost:631." Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong. I'd really like to get CUPS and Gimp-Print working. dave -- David C.

Bypassing taboo rpms in yast
by Carlos E. R. 03 Mar '03

03 Mar '03

It has been mentioned here that yast ignores rpm packages marked as taboo: the next time you run it, it will silently try to reinstall them. Even the checkmark on "auto check dependencies" is marked automatically, it does not remember it was off last time :-( I bumped into this nuissance the other day. I had been compiling xcdroast-0.98alpha13, which requires cdrtools-2.0. This package suse distributes as cdrecord an mkisofs instead, and of an older version. The problem is that if I remove this two, yast will try to reinstall them on my back, windoze style! Solution: Create your own mkisofs and cdrecord fake rpms. - Make a dir somewhere named "cdrecord-1.15.999" (note the version is intentionally faked as newer than the suse provided one, which was 1.11, if I remember correctly). - Create any program. For example: --- dummie_cdrecord.c #include <stdio.h> int main() { printf("Fake program to make yast believe there is a cdrecord.rpm\n") printf("It can be safely deleted now\n); } ---- Makefile all: dummie_cdrecord gcc dummie_cdrecord.c -o dummie_cdrecord install: install dummie_cdrecord /usr/local/bin Then, run "make all", and "checkinstall" (as root this last one). Checkinstall will create and the appropiate rpm, named "cdrecord-1.15.999-1.i386.rpm" in "/usr/src/packages/RPMS/i386/", and that's it, yast will not complain any more (check) - at least till suse provides a newer version that the one we just faked. And repeat for "mkisofs-1.15.999" -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson

gtk applications look under KDE3.1

03 Mar '03

Hello I'm running SuSE 8.1 Professional under KDE3.1. After upgrading to KDE3.1 all the applications (applix5, gaim, unison, etc.) created with gtk(1) have a strange look under KDE. If I login under GNOME2 they look normal. Does anybody know what could be the reason? Tnak you.
