Anyone know about rtsp protocol??
by Rick Friedman 17 Jun '03

17 Jun '03

First of all, I'm running Mozilla-1.4rc1 on SuSE 8.2. Using Mozilla, I'm trying to access a live stream from GUA4DEC. Currently, there is no stream available. However, when there is, I am unable to access it. The link is: rtsp://193.1.31.232:554/broadcast/live.rm I'm able to access other Real media. When I try to access this, I get the following message: rtsp is not a registered protocol This would seem like a protocol of which Mozilla is unaware. My question is, how can I "register" this protocol with Mozilla? Any help is greatly appreciated. Rick

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello all, I am constructing a new honeypot. This time I would like to utilize a kernel level patch to convertly log all shell commands. Does anyone know of a patch in the wild for the linux-2.4.20.SuSE kernel? I've got the vanilla kernel patch on my station, but wanted a specific distro patch that may be available. I guess I may be forced to diff linux-2.4.20-exec/fs/exec.c on the vanilla kernel against my kernel. Where may the vanilla kernel located in the 8.2 disks?

mount cdrom, error: cannot read superblock
by Richard Bos 17 Jun '03

17 Jun '03

After upgrading my box from 8.1 to 8.2 I get the following error while mounting the cdrom pilchard:~ # mount /dev/cdrom mount: /dev/cdrom: can't read superblock pilchard:~ # mount /dev/cdrom /mnt mount: /dev/cdrom: can't read superblock There is a cd inside the cd-tray (suse-8.2), that works. Some system information: pilchard:~ # cd /dev/ pilchard:/dev # ls -l cdrom lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Jun 17 21:15 cdrom -> hdc pilchard:/dev # ls -l hdc brw------- 1 richard disk 22, 0 Mar 14 14:07 hdc pilchard:/dev # ls -l sg[01] crw-r----- 1 root disk 21, 0 Mar 14 14:07 sg0 crw-r----- 1 root disk 21, 1 Mar 14 14:07 sg1 I performed the procedure as explained on the link underneath: http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/aoezcan_cdrom.html, but no changes same superblock error message. pilchard:/dev # hwscan --list| grep cdrom hY5p.PBJpFDLGuBD: (cfg=yes, avail=yes, need=no) cdrom HL-DT-ST RW/DVD GCC-4320B The file hY5p.PBJpFDLGuBD is present and contains: pilchard:/dev # cat /var/lib/hardware/unique-keys/hY5p.PBJpFDLGuBD [General] UniqueID=hY5p.PBJpFDLGuBD HWClass=cdrom Model=HL-DT-ST RW/DVD GCC-4320B [Status] Configured=yes Available=yes Needed=no [Hardware] Bus=0x85 Slot=0x2 BaseClass=0x106 SubClass=0x2 ProgIF=0x3 DeviceName=HL-DT-ST RW/DVD GCC-4320B RevisionName=1.01 Serial= UnixDevice=/dev/hdc If I'm not mistaken the cdrom treatment in suse-8.1 and 8.2 differ. 8.1 uses ide-scsi while 8.2 has already the plain ide treatment isn't it. May this be a problem? pilchard:/etc/sysconfig # grep INITRD * kernel:INITRD_MODULES="ide-scsi" /boot/grub/menu.lst contains: kernel (hd1,7)/vmlinuz root=/dev/hdb9 hdc=ide-scsi vga=791 pilchard:/boot/grub # lsmod Module Size Used by Not tainted ide-cd 29404 0 (autoclean) cdrom 28192 0 (autoclean) [ide-cd] It would be great if anyone knows how to solve the superblock error message! -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless

Dirty code......(OT)
by Fred A. Miller 17 Jun '03

17 Jun '03

Ok....it looks like most, if not all of the "dirty code" that SCO has identified is in: JFS, NUMA, RCU, and SMP. I'd like to know if SuSE has taken at look at all this and what do they have to say about it. IBM, so far, has simply make a denial but nothing else. This is not looking good people.

Re: [SLE] Cygwin Xwin blocked by Firewall
by John Proctor 17 Jun '03

17 Jun '03

I have checked the log file, and for the connections from the local network ie 192.168.1.3 trying to start Xwin, the entry in the log file is UNAUTHORIZED. I can run telnet sessions ok, and the Internet on the PC's is ok (using the linux box as the DNS server). But if I try to start Xwin (Xwin -query MyLinuxBox) Xwin starts but no login, if I stop the firewall it works great?. Also in the /etc/host file I have inserted entries for each pc ( it wont work without these entries even with the firewall off): 192.168.1.3 host3 192.168.1.4 host4 and so on. Up to now I have run this network for about 10 years using SCO (up to 5.0.4), I changed to SuSE version 8 about a year ago, and I have a full range of class "C" addresses, but now "IT" services want them back, but said that I could keep one; so I have to try and get IP Masquerading to work. If I switch off the firewall I loose the ability for the local PC's to obtain an internet connection.

Off-topic SCO postings -- Martial Law Declared
by Christopher Mahmood 17 Jun '03

17 Jun '03

Hi all, Enough already. The list charter specifically says that "advocacy-type" postings are not welcome since there are much more appropriate places to discuss things like that (e.g., Slashdot, comp.os.linux.advocacy, the nearest public restroom). Starting today I'm going to kill SCO threads that get out of hand beginning with the "SCO acronym" one. As always, send complaints to ml-admin(a)suse.com, not to the list. Cheers, -- -ckm
