postfix options
by Tom Allison 19 Jun '03

19 Jun '03

It seems that postfix does not have any support, as supplied, for things like LDAP, MySQL, or PostgreSQL. I'm also not very familiar with RPMs (more familiar with other package management systems). If I decide to compile in my own version of postfix. Then how can I remove the postfix package without violating the RPM requirement for a smtp_daemon? Do I have to make an RPM in order to allow this software to be installed?

My dhcpd.conf file look like this: ##################################### default-lease-time 1200; #20 minutes max-lease-time 7200; #2 hours option domain-name "timsbox.linux"; option domain-name-servers 192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.2; option broadcast-address 192.168.1.255; option routers 192.168.1.254; option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0; subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { range 192.168.1.10 192.168.1.20; range 192.168.1.100 192.168.1.200; } ##################################### Yet i still cannot get anything to work????? Windows still cannot get an IP from my machine. The firewall was the easy bit. I am only on a dial-up internet connection using ppp0, my lan device is eth0 and i can't change the DNS settings cos i use dial up..... this is fucked! every other linux os i have used did this automatically - why can't SuSE have a tool for morons????? the etc/sysconfig/dhcpd file has the following: ##################################### DHCPD_INTERFACE="eth0" DHCPD_RUN_CHROOTED="yes" DHCPD_CONF_INCLUDE_FILES="" DHCPD_RUN_AS="root" DHCPD_OTHER_ARGS="" ##################################### It also had another hundred or so lines of comments that didn't help much. this is the only problem i am having with SuSE... everything else is AWESOME.... :'( very sad.

Re: [SLE] how to use wine

Hi Marcus, well I tried coping this file to the windows/system directory (in my fake windows) but It still doesn't work, I don't know many other programs work but this doesn't I have no idea. Probably is because I was testing the trial versions and It looks for this Vbox stuff, etc. At least Flash worked, but the other don't. What is really odd is that Macromedia Fireworks seems to begin wright but at the end is stops with and invalid parameter. So I don't know what to do Jose Marcus Meissner wrote: >On Mon, Jun 16, 2003 at 03:32:00PM -0700, Jose Sanchez wrote: > > >>>You need the msvcrt40.dll file, which is not in WINE yet. >>> >>>Get it from an existing windows installation or so. >>> >>>Ciao, Marcus >>> >>> >>> >>Where do I have to copy this file? >> >> > >to the ~/.wine/fake_windows/Windows/System/ directory. > >Ciao, Marcus > >

RE: [SLE] what are bootable membership cards

I suspect that it's a credit card sized CDROM. I got one of them at a Cisco thing a few years back that had an assload of information on it. I thought it was a pretty cool idea. That's why there's a smaller circle in the middle of your CDROM drawer. Cheers Alan. Alan Crowe NT/Exchange Systems Manager Shell Information Technology International Ltd.

un-long listable files
by Michael.James＠csiro.au 19 Jun '03

19 Jun '03

Anyone know what's going on here? I'm ripping and ogg encoding some CDs using Grip. On one CD grip keeps segfaulting out, leaving me with a file that hangs ls -l eg: ls <filename> is fine, no problem characters in the filename ls -l <filename> is not, hangs forever echo * is fine touch * is fine but doesn't help chown me:grp * is fine but doesn't help chmod 644 * is fine but doesn't help I can cat it, but not cp it. I can rm it, then the directory becomes listable. I can continue the rip and meet the same problem with a later track. strace ls -l <filename> gives: <lots of lines snipped> lstat64("ls-fail", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=6932, ...}) = 0 getxattr("strace.ls", "system.posix_acl_access", (nil), 0) = -1 EOPNOTSUPP (Operation not supported) lstat64("light_in_time_of_darkness__glad_to_see_you.wav", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=95416320, ...}) = 0 getxattr("light_in_time_of_darkness__glad_to_see_you.wav", "system.posix_acl_access" and there it sits waiting for heat-death-of-universe. To cope with line-wrapping I've tabbed extensions in and put an extra newline at real line breaks. Looks like Grip is setting some strange ACLs. ls -l as root still hangs though. It's not just a character causing the trouble, my current problem file is: light_in_time_of_darkness__glad_to_see_you.wav and I've set permissions, owner, group, timestamps to sensible values. When vmware wouldn't start I went looking and fell into another... So I took the trouble to drop down to run level 1, unmount /home and do a fsck.reiser on it. It ran without finding any errors. Ran it again with --fix-fixable, still nothing, but now everything works and the files are listable! Hmpf, I don't like this, is something terribly wrong with reiserfs, or should just I not listen to Shakira? michaelj PS: cat /proc/version Linux version 2.4.20-4GB (root(a)Pentium.suse.de) (gcc version 3.3 20030226 (prerelease) (SuSE Linux)) #1 Mon Mar 17 17:54:44 UTC 2003 rpm -q k_deflt => k_deflt-2.4.20-39 I'm getting the new kernels now. -- Michael James michael.james(a)csiro.au System Administrator voice: 02 6246 5040 CSIRO Bioinformatics Facility fax: 02 6246 5166

Nvidia drivers after kernel compilation???
by Mariusz Jurgielewicz 19 Jun '03

19 Jun '03

I compiled and installed new kernel. When I boot it xwindows do not start. It seems that nvidia drivers are installed in my previous module location. So I run nvidia installer again. It insists to uninstall old drivers otherwise I cannot continue. I can use nvidia drivers with my new kernel now but when trying to boot to old kernel it's the same drivers are gone. How can I have nvidia drivers installed in my both kernels? Mariusz

Fwd: [SLE] XD2 instalation
by ovidiu pascui 19 Jun '03

19 Jun '03

Hi I had the same problem. Try using different mirrors until you get most of the packages (I used the mirrors from Lyon and Tampere). Or just go to /var/cache/redcarpet/packages where the rpm's are located and force an install (rpm -Uvh --force --nodeps). After that launch redcarpet and install the missing packages (for me this worked also).
