Bugzilla database for SuSE?
by David Krider 30 Apr '03

30 Apr '03

I found a really minor bug in cups. I suppose it probably already has been reported, but I wanted to see. I'm a recent Red Hat convert, and I'm used to a bugzilla at redhat dot com. Is there a bugzilla for SuSE that I can log problems against? Thanks, dk

HELP - KILLED WIN2K
by jrn＠oregonhanggliding.com 30 Apr '03

30 Apr '03

Hello all: I created a nightmare for myself the other night. I have two boxes at home. One linux server running 24x7 and a Win2K box with several drives and space for a linux installation. I figured it would be cool to install SuSE 8.1 ( which is running on the linux server box ) so that I can experiment with stuff without the possibility of messing up a "production" box. So I install SuSE on the Win2k box hoping to dual boot as needed. I let SuSE do its default GRUB install. Upon reboot of the machine after the install, Win2K booted and I don't see the GRUB Boot menu. I then get back into my Linux installation by booting the CD and selecting "Boot Installed OS". Linux booted fine. I figured at this point that I needed to tell GRUB to install the boot information to the first drive's MBR. Reboot - GRUB loads fine and I can boot into Linux, however, the Windows partitions for some reason don't boot. Now I decide to drop back 10 and punt. I boot from the Win2k cd and go into the repair console and issue the fixboot and fixmbr commands hoping to at least get back to being able to boot Win2k. No luck... now while booting nothing happens.. Any idea how I can get my Win2K booting again? And why the hell is it so difficult to get Linux ( GRUB ) to dual with Win2k? Thanks again, Jim

SuSE brings Linux to telecoms

This may prove interesting reading SuSE has introduced a new Linux operating system product geared for telecommunications companies, named several new executives and signed up an advertising agency to elevate the German company's profile. http://zdnet.com.com/2100-1104-998664.html -- Regards, Graham Smith ---------------------------------------------------------

Mozilla/Galeon/Epiphany
by James Ogley 30 Apr '03

30 Apr '03

Updated today on www.usr-local-bin.org * Mozilla - updated to 1.4a - spec merged with SuSE spec (more below) * Galeon - version 1.3.4 - rebuilt for Mozilla 1.4a * Epiphany - version 0.5.0 - rebuilt for Mozilla 1.4a The usr local bin RPM spec file has been merged into the SuSE spec file for the packages found in ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/mozilla so why am I still producing packages myself? Well, the experimental packages on ftp.suse.com are built from CVS snapshots, in order to represent a more current picture of squashed bugs etc, but this means that building packages against them can be problematic. The packages on usr local bin are built with the source tarballs from mozilla.org so that they reflect the state of Mozilla in terms of releases, and so that Galeon/Epiphany can be more easily built against them. Merging the two package trees (ulb & SuSE) means that they're more interchangeable, but keeping them both rather than dropping the ulb packages means that people who want to use Galeon or Epiphany have more freedom to use the right packages. -- James Ogley, Webmaster, Rubber Turnip james(a)rubberturnip.org.uk http://www.rubberturnip.org.uk Jabber: riggwelter(a)myjabber.net Using Free Software since 1994, running GNU/Linux (SuSE 8.2) GNOME updates for SuSE: http://www.usr-local-bin.org

Where is the RPM data base
by Curtis Rey 30 Apr '03

30 Apr '03

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have a package (winex3) that is listed twice according to rpm. If I issue the rpm -e winex3 command It say that there are multiple instances of this packages. A query indicates that the packages is listed twice so I was going to go into the file and comment out/delete it then re-issue the rpm -e command in order to have rpm at a current state. Does anyone know of some solutions to this problem? I only have one instance of winex3 to the best of my knowledge and won't to reinstall it. But, I have to get rpm to cooperate first in order to determine if the program or the install itself is kludged. TIA, Curtis. :) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+rry27WVLiDrqeksRApuyAKDOjnGvz3Wkbm6Hihr7Ge89aRN0tgCdEOZf iN1TXFKRPwnTdb03Ig5pzzg= =Oqcq -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

The XP machines are running Zone Alarm. I have opened ports 137-139 for internal hosts. As far as I know, that's all I need. Are you suggesting I try shutting down the firewall on the PDC? Shutting Zone Alarm didn't help.

Perhaps there is some configuring to be done in Windows for the authentication method? Anyone know? John

[bit OT] NVIDIA fan problem
by Rohit 30 Apr '03

30 Apr '03

Hi all, As some on the list know already [because I asked them], that I have an Nvidia Riva TNT2 M64 card. I noticed today that the fan on the card is not working. It is also true that I am not using 3D [In Linux, the card is not configured for 3D, and in Windows, the PCI soundcard plus this TNT card hang the machine if I try to use multimedia, due to IRQ conflict that windows would not permit me to resolve :-(]. Does the fan turn on on-demand only? Or should I take a good look immediately? -- Rohit +9122 5692 2101 G9,Floor-1,Chandivali : SDE : TLSI : 9821394599(a)bplmobile.com The information below is compulsorily added for non-mahindrabt recepients. ********************************************************* Disclaimer This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and is protected by law.

Evolution, gpilotd and Visor
by Anders Karlsson 30 Apr '03

30 Apr '03

Hi, I have tried to get Evolution (rubber turnip, I have both the evolution and evolution-pilot rpm's installed) to sync with my Visor Edge, but am not having much luck. Jpilot works, pilot-xfer works, gpilotd doesn't. I have configured the 'applet' through gnomecc and all the information in there has been matched up against the settings in JPilot, so it should work. gpilotd when being run from the command line will nicely sit and wait for something to talk to /dev/visor (a symlink to ttyUSB1) and as soon as I hit the hotsync button on the cradle, it will print out the connection speed and exit. No sync'ing takes place at all. Has anyone seen this and gotten it to work? Regards, -- Anders Karlsson <anders(a)trudheim.com> Trudheim Technology Limited
