Re: [SLE] OpenOffice slow in 8.2
by Paul Benjamin 01 Jun '03

Yes I am trying OO 1.1 beta2 after having problem with the SuSE 8.2 rpm but it has the same problem. If you run a cpu intensive background task like SETI@Home, Folding@Home, distributed.net? If you do and it works for you what is your memory settings. I have 512M of RAM and I am not using the swap file yet and it still is dog slow if I am running a nice 19 that uses every CPU cycle it can grab. What is ood is that if I look at the KDE System Guard the OpenOffice task is nice 0. I would be interested if it happens to you.

Routing table problems
by Jerry Feldman 01 Jun '03

01 Jun '03

My SuSE 8.2 laptop has 2 network interfaces. A builtin assgined to eth0 and a PCMCIA wireless card. Both are set to acquire IP addresses via DHCP. When I have the PCMCIA card plugged in, the routing table does not include the default route, so I need to add it manually: Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 If I execute rcnetwork restart, the routing table is correct, so it appears to be a problem at boot time. If I remove the PCMCIA card and replace it, the routing table loses its default route. I suspect that there is a subtle bug either in etc/sysconfig/network/scripts/ifup-route or etc/sysconfig/network/ifup-pcmcia-eth If anyone has an idea, you might save me some work in debugging this. Note:I have not added any information in YaST/Network Card config/routes for either card. -- Jerry Feldman <gaf(a)blu.org> Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9

Graphics Hardware Problem?
by Sylvanus A. Currie 01 Jun '03

01 Jun '03

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Recently my display has developed a problem which manifests itself as an apparent misalignment of the guns. Every text character is displayed with a white glow to the right and there appears to be shadowy lines across the display. At first, I thought may be I had messed up my XFree86 install with my last update bu no!, the problems are apparent even at boot up whilst displaying bios messages. I then tried an alternative working monitor to no avail. So I am left with the conclusion that my GeForce2 GTS graphics card is on the way out, OR, I need a new monitor (vga) cable. Does this sound reasonable? Has anyone come across this problem before? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2-rc1-SuSE (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+2eKSRNQ96ZZBo4oRAjk0AJ9aEcuct2jw/6P6Wh62v7NeUxoTLACglvFA X7Fo35ADg9UcviwyeJot8qg= =DQeu -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

YOU doesn't connect to master server
by Stanley Long 01 Jun '03

01 Jun '03

SuSE 8.2, installed from DVD. A YAST2 online update was done eight days ago from http://ftp.uni-kl.de/pub/linux/suse per /var/lib/YaST2/you/config. Tonight YAST2 online-update produces an Error: "Cannot connect to http://www.suse.de/cgi-bin/suseservers.cgi. Check your connection." Galeon is getting www.suse.de just fine tonight. According to the YAST2 editor for /etc/sysconfig, YAST2_LOADFTPSERVER=yes, so YOU is trying to update the default server list in /var/lib/YaST2/you/youservers from the "master" server. There are no user specific servers available in /etc/youservers; everything is commented out. Where does YAST2 get (store) the master server address that it is trying to reach, <http://www.suse.de/cgi-bin/suseservers.cgi> and is this still the proper address for the master server? I can't find it with Galeon. The default server list in /var/lib/YaST2/you/youservers is: http://ftp.leo.org/download/pub/comp/os/unix/linux/suse/suse http://ftp.uni-kl.de/pub/linux/suse http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/suse ftp://ftp.leo.org/pub/comp/os/unix/linux/suse/suse ftp://ftp.uni-kl.de/pub/linux/suse ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/suse ftp://download.sourceforge.net/pub/mirrors/suse/suse ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/Linux/distributions/suse/suse ftp://ftp.rz.uni-ulm.de/pub/mirrors/suse ftp://gd.tuwien.ac.at/linux/suse.com/suse ftp://ftp.suselinux.hu/pub/suse ftp://fr.rpmfind.net/linux/SuSE-Linux

KDE 3.1.2 keeps loosing BE keyboard settings
by Bart Symons 01 Jun '03

01 Jun '03

I'm using a Belgian AZERTY keyboard layout. For some reason KDE keeps loosing the keyboard settings, apperently reverting to French AZERTY instead of Belgian AZERTY. This is very annoying because the "greater then" and "smaller then" keys are not in the ususal place. I used YaST2 to set the keyboard to Belgian and that seems to work for the (pure) consoles but not for KDE applications or consoles in Konsole. ???

How do I make a bash script?
by Tom Nielsen 01 Jun '03

01 Jun '03

I would like to have apt-get update automatically. The only way I can see to do this is to set up a bash script and use cron to do it...I think. 1. What should my script look like? 2. What should I put in my crontab to make it update on a weekly basis? Since it's automatically done and needs to be done as root, how do I accomplish this? How many cups of milk do I add to my pancake mix...sorry, got carried away. Thanks, Tom - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Tom Nielsen Neuro Logic Systems, Inc. 805.389.5435 x18 www.neuro-logic.com

Cinelerra : I really need your help !
by arnaud kubacki 01 Jun '03

01 Jun '03

Hi ! I encountered several difficulties installing cinelerra on my SuSE 8.0 First, I tried the RPM packet but they are either compiled on a Redhat Machine or Mandrake Machine, so I am unable to stand with it as I need to recompile my Glibc and Gcc Second, I tried the sources but they did not compile : it ask autotools and a52.h lib but when I want to install these libraries, I got error messages : The a52.h needs autotools and when I want to install autotools the make install does nothing. Do you have any clue on how to install cinelerra on a SuSE 8.0 ? I was delighted to try (then may be buy) MainActor 5.0 but this is only available on Win 2000 and Win XP Thanks, Arnaud

Court Puts Muzzle on SCO (OT)
by Curtis Rey 01 Jun '03

01 Jun '03

The SCO Group was dealt a legal blow Friday in its attempts to enforce what it sees as violations of its Unix intellectual property rights when a German court granted a preliminary injunction against the company. Joe Eckert, spokesman for SuSE Linux A.G., said the court has ordered SCO to stop claiming that the Linux operating system is an illegal derivative of Unix. "If SCO ignores the court's order, it faces a fine of up to 250,000 euro," he said...... http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,3959,1113022,00.asp Cheers, Curtis.

Mouse macros in Linux?
by Clayton Cornell 01 Jun '03

01 Jun '03

I am working on something that requres repeating certain mouse movements and clicks over and over. I'm getting RSI from doing this. This is something I would like to record and playback as a macro, but I cannot find any Linux macro utilities that will do this. I've done a search on Google and only came up with xmacro which doesn't quite do what I need. Anyone have any suggestions? C.
