anit-virus software

Has anyone picked up any anti-virus scanners for SuSE that are "Free"? The only one I can find is clamav, but it's not something that comes from the SuSE mirrors.

Patched Kernel causes incompatibilities?
by Matthew Goins 24 Sep '03

24 Sep '03

I am running 8.1 on an AMD Athlon, VIA KT400 chipset. I have noticed that when I use YOU to upgrade to the latest kernel for amd processors, one of my NICs stops working, and the nvidia 3D driver crashes the computer. Using rpm to downgrade back to the kernel on the CD, everything works fine again. I have purchased 8.2, and the kernel on that system causes exactly the same problems. Any suggestions? I also have the separate problem that the 8.2 version permits me to use DMA with my disk drives, but the 8.1 does not. I would like to have both DMA and 3D acceleration in one system if possible. Very perplexing. All suggestions welcome. Matt

Saving an install
by Tom Allison 24 Sep '03

24 Sep '03

I have an installation that I'm been putting together for a while now. But I need to save off whatever it is I've done and redo it onto a new hard drive and such. I was wondering if there is some way that I can save off everything that was done to some file and then re-read that file back into the installation process as the answer to all the questions. I think in SuSE 6 I could do this, but I don't know anymore. -- What about WRITING it first and rationalizing it afterwords? :-) -- Larry Wall in <8162(a)jpl-devvax.JPL.NASA.GOV>

Hi! I have P-I with 32M RAM. SuSE8.2 was intalled to HDD on another computer. When P-I is booted, there are messages: ---------- freed unused kernel memory ... INIT: Id "3" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 min #The same messages appear for ids 1-6... INIT: open (/dev/console) input/output error ---------- Whether I can use this computer with SUSE8.2 or I need to install on it 7.3 only?

Re: [SLE] KDE 3.1.4 ?
by stefan 24 Sep '03

24 Sep '03

Hi all, I don't want to waste more time on this but in short: 1- SuSE 8.2 Professional Version ships with KDE 3.1.1 - There were problems with konqueror , security issues, in that version which were not covered by any patch by SuSE. I sent several emails to feedback, to the list; Their support seems to be very very busy. They should hire more people to handle such of things. The only solution was to upgrade to KDE 3.1.3. There are no clear 'blueprints' how to do that. SuSE should provide that too. 2- Any other security problem should be take it seriously even if some people consider it serious or not. Its there, therefore a patch should be issuesd. If they are *very* very busy we all can understand this. But SuSE should at least notice their users about this under their security bulletin telling that the patch will follow soon. Anyway this is not a matter of current KDM (found under KDE 3.1.3) problem. It is a matter of entire process which seems does not exist. I posted several times why ! ( Default SuSE 8.2 Professional ships with KDE 3.1.1 "KDE Security Advisory: Konqueror Referer Leaking Website Authentication Credentials Original Release Date: 2003-07-29 URL: http://www.kde.org/info/security/advisory-20030729-1.txt ) I hope this process will be defined and implemented. Regards, Stefan

SuSE 8.2: anybody got a spare copy?
by Fred M.Sloniker 24 Sep '03

24 Sep '03

I recently reformatted my hard drive (a long story, and one involving Windows, naturally), so I lost my downloaded 8.2 install. Rather than wait the month and a half it took to download it again, I was hoping someone'd be able to spare their 8.2 disks, or even copies thereof. I have a DVD player, so CDs or DVDs would suit me just fine. If you're interested in helping out, email me; I'm willing to pay shipping.

CUPS
by Steven Lobbezoo 24 Sep '03

24 Sep '03

Hi, I'm working in an small office which has 10 Suse 8.2 systems installed in a network. I installed a printer on one pc with the cups server. That works fine. Now i should be able to install a cups (station only) version on other work stations to be able to use the printer from there. That's impossible. Only after re-installing a work station complete, the cups software will work. If I just try to install (with Yast2) i get an undefined server error. It says it's connection to the right pc on the right port. If i try to change anything in the server configuration, cupsd will not start anymore (protection exeption ?) So, ... pease help and give me an idea how to use cups, what's supposed to be user-friendly! The rest of the installation works like a charm (sharing internet connection, KDE, Gnome, networking - NFS, etc.) Thansk a lot in advance, Steven

gDesklets
by John Pettigrew 24 Sep '03

24 Sep '03

Has anyone got gDesklets (http://gDesklets.gnomedesktop.org/) to work on SuSE 8.2? There is a dependency on gnome-python-2.0, which doesn't seem to come with SuSE - there is a python-gnome, but this doesn't seem to be the same thing.
