Yast2 online update
by Richard 31 May '03

31 May '03

When I try to open online update the module proceeds to the message "getting available server list from suse.com.de...." and then crashes. Where do I go to try to fix this? Should I re-install yast2 from the CD's? 8.0 system. Last night when I was trying online update I got a series of error messages referring to either corrupted files (update files) or GPG (??) not correct. Network does work as I can connect to web. Thanks for any suggestions. Richard

YaST and qt3 are now working...:)--8.2
by Joe Morris (NTM) 31 May '03

31 May '03

Just a heads up for those who have updated to a later qt3 and found out it causes a problem with YaST Install and Remove module. I updated the other night with apt-get/Synaptic, and had the suse-people in my source.list, and there was a qt3-3.2.0b1 update available. This fixes the YaST issue. I realize this is a beta version, but wanted to pass on the good news. It has worked well for me so far. BTW, is there any way to figure out who put out the package? I'd like to let them know that this version fixes the YaST problem introduced by the 3.1 updates for 8.2. -- Joe Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris(a)ntm.org Web Address: http://www.mydestiny.net/~joe_morris Registered Linux user 231871 God said, I AM that I AM.

Setting up VLANs under SuSE 8.0
by Silviu Stoenescu 31 May '03

31 May '03

I've recently bought 2 Allied Telesyn AT-2930T cards for one of my linux servers. I decided that AT-2930T is the right type of card for me because it has VLAN support built-in. I have installed the driver from the CD but I discovered that there are no instructions however about setting up VLANs on Linux. I was thinking I will find some utility like Intel's ANS. But there was none. I've tried with vlan utility tool but it won't work with those NICs. My guess is that if the NICs are not configured correctly regarding VLAN parameters, it will not work. Not to add that using vlan-utils will render my "hardware-VLAN-aware-card" facility useless. I'm still waiting for a reply from AT support mail system. Any thoughts? Ideeas? What to do? Anyone had any frightful experiences like mine? Thank you, Silviu

MR Project and SuSE 8.0 : Problem
by arnaud kubacki 31 May '03

31 May '03

Hi ! I wanted to try the new version of MR Project but I was not able to : When I want to compile libproject.tar.gz, I get an error message that I don't have libgsf checking for glib-2.0 >= 2.0.4 libxml-2.0 >= 2.4.7 gobject-2.0 gmodule-2.0 libgsf-1 >= 1.4.0 ... Package libgsf-1 was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libgsf-1.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'libgsf-1' found configure: error: Library requirements ( glib-2.0 >= 2.0.4 libxml-2.0 >= 2.4.7 gobject-2.0 gmodule-2.0 libgsf-1 >= 1.4.0 There is no libgsf for SuSE 8.0. I tried to rebuild the SuSE 8.1 package but I was not able. I tried to pick up the tarball but I need also to install bonobo and gnome-vfs So I cannot update my mrproject, does anyone have a clue on how to do this ?

Forwarding mail to ISP
by NeoFax 31 May '03

31 May '03

I have a cable modem/router setup locally(Motorola SBG1000). My SuSE server is setup to run fetchmail to download mail from the ISP then pipe it through Postfix then to Cyrus IMAPD. This is all working fine. Now I want to be able to use Postfix to forward the mail to the ISP's SMTP server. I read how to setup the canonical hashfile to change the address to fool the ISP's server in to thinking it came from a E-Mail program such as KMail. How do I setup the MX files using resolv.conf so Postfix knows where to send the mail. Or, is this needed? NeoFax

Mouse Pointer Has Changed
by Rick Friedman 31 May '03

31 May '03

I have a strange little problem. Actually, it's not a problem but it is... well... "annoying". I upgraded qt3 from 3.1 to 3.2 (I'm running SuSE 8.2). Once I did that, the default mouse pointer in KDE changed. It used to point from lower right to upper left. After the upgrade, it point from lower left to upper right. The pointer still works, it just points in a different direction. After that, I also upgraded KDE from 3.1.1 to 3.1.2. Everything works fine. It's just the pointer that has changed. How can I change it back to the way it was before the upgrade? Any help is greatly appreciated. Rick

webmin will not connect
by Marcia 31 May '03

31 May '03

Dear All, I have the latest webmin installed on my Suse8. It works fine on my Opera7 except the file manager does not work in webmin on Opera7 or Netscape 4.79. I decided to try my luck with it on Mozilla and Netscape6 but it will not connect. How do I get Netscape6 to open my webmin? I have researched this already and so far the few others who had the same problem did not get any solutions. Any help here will be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Marcia

Training SpamAssassin
by Michael Satterwhite 31 May '03

31 May '03

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have spamd running, and SpamAssassin is catching a good amount of the spam. I'd like to start training the Bayesian filter and have 2 questions. (1) spamd is running as root. I know this means that the message filters are global (no problem, desktop system). I'm not sure what I need to do to use the Bayesian filters in this case, however. I'd guess that I run sa-learn against my spam / ham mailboxes, but is there anything else I need to do? (2) How often should I run sa-learn. I'm saving the spam / ham as it comes in. I'm assuming that after I run the messages against sa-learn that I should delete them and collect a new set to expand the training. I'm not sure how often this should be run, however. tia - ---Michael -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2-rc1-SuSE (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+2LuNjeziQOokQnARAnuSAJ0SwCWATZH0xGJtzZdvvbmNRyP4sACgtPb9 FGvIXoRRGZMIsR+ui5m6/yM= =9SI3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
