posted ximian evolution rpm patch/update for 8.2
by Serge Naggar 03 Jun '03

03 Jun '03

I recently downloaded the evolution rpm patch for 8.2 and used yast to install it. But it didn't seem to install and evolution remained at 1.2.2 Does any body know if there is a problem with that patch? I have a suspicion that it is a patch for 8.1 and will not work for 8.2 Any comments? -- Cheers, Serge Naggar

ApacheSSL on SuSE 8.0
by Jared Mahoney 03 Jun '03

03 Jun '03

Hello. I am trying to bring ApacheSSL up on SuSE 8.0. I set HTTPD_SEC_MOD_SSL to "yes" in /etc/sysconfig/apache and ran SuSEconfig --module apache. Now when I try to bring up ApacheSSL I get the following error message: Starting httpd [ PERL PHP4 SSL ] Syntax error on line 1442 of /etc/httpd/httpd.conf: Invalid command 'SSLEngine', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration I have been unable to find an explanation. Please help. Thanks, Jared

wierd MC behaviour

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello all. I use mc quite frequently, but suddenly it has started behaving badly. As i enter 'mc' from the shell i usaly get the same folder opened. (eg. rikjoh@sparhawk:~> mc rikjoh@sparhawk:~>) But since a little while back i get: rikjoh@sparhawk:~> mc 2;rikjoh@sparhawk:~1;sparhawkrikjoh@sparhawk:~> And the "grey keys" doesnt work any more. The only new thing i have done is using NIS for logons. But why should that have anything to do with that? Everything else works as usual... - -- /Rikard - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rikard Johnels email : rjhn(a)linux.nu Web : http://www.rikjoh.com Mob : +46 70 464 99 39 - ------------------------ Public PGP fingerprint ---------------------------- < 15 28 DF 78 67 98 B2 16 1F D3 FD C5 59 D4 B6 78 46 1C EE 56 > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2-rc1-SuSE (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+2SnIWdS2eEYc7lYRAl8ZAKD6PwQriAxRMr6xnoRxR94pBYMwqACcDmEY 8rnuEbjSMk9UBgI32ltfQ4M= =shwC -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Sound system produces constant screech
by Steven T. Hatton 03 Jun '03

03 Jun '03

I have a SB Live that I've been using for some time now without major problems. I'm not sure exactly when this started, but sometime in the past month or so it started producing a very loud screech that begins as soon as the sound modules are loaded. Have others seen this? STH

OpenOffice segmentation fault
by David Robertson 02 Jun '03

02 Jun '03

Following a reinstall of 8.2, I cannot get OpenOffice to start - the terminal window on the first start complains of a segmentation fault. I tied uninstalling it with YaST and then replacing it with the latest version (1.0.3) tarball. On running "./install --prefix=/opt" it returns to the prompt after a second or two, with no messages, and no installation has taken place. Interestingly enough, I downloaded the StarOffice 6.1 beta the other day and it won't install either.The installation window comes up for a couple of seconds, then disappears. Any suggestions? Many thanks. David -- Si Hoc Legere Scis Nimium Eruditionis Habes

disconnecting users from VSFTP
by Rikard Johnels 02 Jun '03

02 Jun '03

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello all. Is there a way to block specific users from my vsftp server? Sometimes i find users uploading stuff that are outside the agreement, and i want to be able to DISCONNECT them as they are trying to. I tried blocking them inthe firewall by adding a DROP rule to the specific IP But the transfer stayed up. proftpd had nice features to view connected users and drop them at will. But as far as i can see vsftp hasnt got those. :( Anyone with a nice clue? - -- /Rikard - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rikard Johnels email : rjhn(a)linux.nu Web : http://www.rikjoh.com Mob : +46 70 464 99 39 - ------------------------ Public PGP fingerprint ---------------------------- < 15 28 DF 78 67 98 B2 16 1F D3 FD C5 59 D4 B6 78 46 1C EE 56 > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2-rc1-SuSE (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+2SZVWdS2eEYc7lYRAsHTAKDe/iolkv9hpVSME8GdzDi+SiKH0ACgqE2w YOZpizkOCNNLMbPhdfW2wnI= =hQOG -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

And unfortunately this cannot be changed while the machine is running - you have to reboot and set the right parameters (at least the last time I checked). Check your /boot/grub/ment.1st file. You'll see some kernel parameters and one is something to the tune of vga=761 or vga=0x317 Change that to vga=5 (most monitors support this) and if this doesn't work, remove the vga= line completely - this will throw your monitor into normal 80x25 character text mode. Not the nice imaged background SuSE provides, but at least you'll be able to see the kernel messages.

Re: [SLE] Linux s/w to create blog recommendation?
by FX Fraipont 02 Jun '03

> Please inform the uninformed !! What ???? is BLOG ?? weblog (or Blog) 1) A weblog (sometimes shortened to blog <http://searchWebServices.techtarget.com/sDefinition/0,,sid26_gci214616,00.h…> or written as "web log" or "Weblog") is a Web site <http://searchWebServices.techtarget.com/sDefinition/0,,sid26_gci213352,00.h…> of personal or non-commercial origin that uses a dated log format that is updated on a daily or very frequent basis with new information about a particular subject or range of subjects. The information can be written by the site owner, gleaned from other Web sites or other sources, or contributed by users. A weblog often has the quality of being a kind of "log of our times" from a particular point-of-view. Generally, weblogs are devoted to one or several subjects or themes, usually of topical interest, and, in general, can be thought of as developing commentaries, individual or collective on their particular themes. A weblog may consist of the recorded ideas of an individual (a sort of diary) or be a complex collaboration open to anyone. Most of the latter are /moderated discussions/. Since there are a number of variations on this idea and new variations can easily be invented, the meaning of this term is apt to gather additional connotations with time. Currently, the most popular weblog is Slashdot.org, the product of programmer and graphic artist Rob Malden and several colleagues. Slashdot.org carries discussion thread <http://WhatIs.techtarget.com/definition/0,,sid9_gci213139,00.html>s on many subjects including: Money, Quake (the game), Netscape, Sun Microsystems, Hardware, and Linux <http://searchEnterpriseLinux.techtarget.com/sDefinition/0,,sid39_gci212482,…>. Slashdot.org solicits and posts interesting stories reported by contributors, includes a link to the story, and manages the threads of the ensuing discussion by other users. Another well-known weblog is Jorn Barger's Robot Wisdom Log, which is more of collection of daily highlights from other Web sites. Jessamyn West's librarian.net is a daily log of items interesting to librarians and possibly others, too. cf http://whatis.techtarget.com/definition/0,,sid9_gci213547,00.html fx -- ______________________ Courtesy of SuSE Linux http://www.nibz.org
