XINE clobbers sound system?
by Peter B Van Campen 19 Jun '03

19 Jun '03

Dear List, Was it this list where I saw someone discuss how XINE caused their SoundBlaster Live! 5-1 ALSA sound subsystem to break? Since using XINE to play a movie it cannot make sound and nothing else on my SuSE 8.2 sys can make a sound either. If I crank up the volume it makes 'feedback' type sounds. Adjusting things like KMix does not help. I got all the XINE updates at Packman inc the XINE-ALSA rpm, but no either. Was it here that someone had a similar prob? ............

Still Having Recording Problems!
by C Hamel 19 Jun '03

19 Jun '03

I disabled aRts and still cannot get any recording using DAP, Krec, qarecord, audacity. I am convinced that qarecord just doesnt' work, as the time counter stays at zero. As for the rest of them, I really do not know --the file is just plain empty, with the exception of qarecord which generates a 44-byte file. Anyone know something else I might attempt? This is getting old! :-\ Thanks... ...CH -- SuSE Is All U Need.

Mailman newbie
by Chris Herrnberger 19 Jun '03

Greetings: Following the instruction from the suse README implicity I still get errors. It seems that the base install has not configured the permissions properly for /usr/sbin/postalias to write too /var/lib/mailman/data/aliases dspite running SuSEconfig The mailman error message reads as follows: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/mailman/scripts/driver", line 87, in run_main main() File "/var/tmp/mailman-2.1.1-build/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Cgi/create.py", line 55, in main File "/var/tmp/mailman-2.1.1-build/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Cgi/create.py", line 217, in process_request File "/var/tmp/mailman-2.1.1-build/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/MTA/Postfix.py", line 226, in create File "/var/tmp/mailman-2.1.1-build/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/MTA/Postfix.py", line 47, in _update_maps RuntimeError: command failed: /usr/sbin/postalias /var/lib/mailman/data/aliases (status: 1, Operation not permitted) Looking at ls -la /usr/sbin/postalias we get -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 132952 2003-03-17 10:35 /usr/sbin/postalias and ls -la /var/lib/mailman/data/aliases we get -rw-rw-r-- 1 root mailman 1714 2003-06-16 22:27 /var/lib/mailman/data/aliases changing /usr/sbin/postalias to root.mailman gives however the same result. So in summary...me lost as to what to try next..:) Any help would be greatly appreciated. Chris H

Mail server
by Koenraad Lelong 19 Jun '03

19 Jun '03

Hi, I need recommendations to install a mailserver on Suse (V8.1). What I need is a system that fetches mail from a pop-mailbox at our ISP, and stores the messages locally (maildir), for non-linux users to retrieve, either via POP, IMAP or web-mail. Any suggestions ? I tried Fetchmail (works OK), Postfix and planned to use Courier-IMAP, but I seem to be unable to get Postfix to store messages in maildir for non-local users. I'm willing to give it another try if needed. -- Met vriendelijke groeten, Koenraad Lelong R&D Manager ACE electronics n.v.

Re: [SLE] rdesktop in SuSE 8.2

Ok, thanks, but how exactly do I do that? I found out the RDP port (3389), and entered in the Remote Desktop Connection dialog 192.168.1.59:3389 It says "Authenticating..." for a long time, then "server does not accept new connections". Actually, the server accepts connections. Also, tried username:password@192.168.1.59:3389 The documentation for krfb does not exist at all.

driver disk for install
by Jason Unrein 19 Jun '03

19 Jun '03

does anyone know how to create a driver disk for suse? This is the disk that you use when you press ALT at the grub bootup screen when you are getting ready to install. It is not a module disk. Basically I have the driver (actually an image of a disk/ext2 filesystem that contains the driver) and I've tried putting it on a disk but the installer never seems to grab the driver. If anyone knows what needs to be done, please let me know Thanks __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo! DSL - Now only $29.95 per month! http://sbc.yahoo.com
