qt3 >= 3.2.1 is needed by kdelibs3-3.1.4-15
by Joe Sullivan 24 Sep '03

24 Sep '03

Yo, qt3 >= 3.2.1 is needed by kdelibs3-3.1.4-15 Anyone else noticing this with the 3.1.4 RPMs? There's a few qt3-type RPMs on the server, but they're like qt3-postgresql and such. The actual qt3 package is 3.1.2, not 3.2.1 . And that's long been installed. What's up? Anyone? Bueller? :-P *Apparently-needed-disclaimer: This is not a gripe post, just curious if a boo-boo was made.

Camera programs keep crashing
by Tom Nielsen 24 Sep '03

24 Sep '03

I have a Canon A70 which I've tried to get connected for several weeks. I manage to connect it to digikam and gtkam (via the PTP driver in gphoto) but every time I click on an image to try to do something with it, the program crashes. Any thoughts? I ended up buying a card reader to resolve this issue, but I would still like to get it connected. I know the A70 isn't supported.

How to reuse YOU downloads
by Juan Francisco Torres Chacón 24 Sep '03

24 Sep '03

I think this has been asked a lot before, but I cant find the information.. We just updated a SuSE 8.1 machine, and YOU downloaded a lot of RPMS to /var/lib.... Is there a procedure to reuse all that information and downloaded packages on a different machine? How can this be done? Thank you -------------------------------------------------------- Juan Torres

Fwbuilder and SuSE82
by Guy Zelck 24 Sep '03

24 Sep '03

Hello all, What is the advised way of activating the ruleset made by fwbuilder on boot-up? Redhad & Mandrake have an init.d script called iptables which could picks this ruleset file up and configures iptables. I know there's firewall2 on SuSE but could it be used for this task. I think not. Do I have to emulate what the other distributions do myself or is there a SuSE way around this? I'm new to SuSE, coming from the other distros, so I thought I might ask the in-crowd. Thanks, Guy.

Hi everyone. I just bought a new box with an AMD XP 2200 processor.YOU pulled down a big patch last night and I now have k_athlon-2.4.20-100. Is this correct for 8.2? Also, what's the difference between the Intel and the AMD kernel anyway? All the google articles with any content seem to be in German. Thanks Steve.

really aweful sound on KDE
by Tom Allison 24 Sep '03

24 Sep '03

I'm struggling with the sound on my desktop. It's terribly lagging, often to the point of distortion. artsd is also running ~100% CPU even when nothing is going on. desktop applications seem to have sound OK (k-desktop games), but the browser doesn't have anything that works. It is inconsistent. It either has no sound, or badly distorted sound (almost 1/2 speed). What's worse is I running into this on more than one machine. So I'm a little leary about settings in general and not "just a hardware" problem. Never having used KDE before I'm not really sure what to try.

USB / kpilotDaemon / usbserial failure
by Alex Doll 24 Sep '03

24 Sep '03

Hotsyncing my Palm Tungsten T via USB to my Linux machine has been spotty at best. Sometimes I can sync just fine and other times the entire USB hotplug system locks up solid and I can't even shut down properly (hard reset required). Tried j-pilot, kpilot and pilot-xfer and all seem to suffer the same problems. Could be a hotplug specific thing too because the USB scanner often won't talk to Linux? My newbie eyes reading the log message suggests it is a visor or usbserial problem and not hotplug.

It ran 45degC with the case shut in and 38degC with the case open. I have fans at the front of the case, on the CPU and on the video card.

Strange hard drive capacity 2048GB !?
by Alex Daniloff 24 Sep '03

24 Sep '03

Hello SuSE folkz, I've just installed a couple of WDE9150 Western Digital SCSI hard drives to build RAID5. To my suprise, each of these drives shows 2048GB of its capacity instead of real 9.1GB. Just for the sake of sanity I tried to install SuSE8.2 Linux on one of these drives. Installation failed with warnings related to some IO problems. Could somebody tell me please if I have to perform low level formatting of these SCSI drives before building RAID5, or these drives just defective and I'll have exchange them and bit crap out of vendor. Thank you very much in advance for any help or source of information.

Is there any way to recover old crontabs from a previous installation that I have fully backed up?

Thinking this was a bad idea, I cancelled the configuration window. However, galeon started up quite happily and I continue to use it as root. All subsequent galeon sessions opened up multiple instances and didn't stop unless it was killed off manually. Discovery and fix. What we discovered was that when logged in as root, two files were created: /opt/mozilla/components/compreg.dat /opt/mozilla/components/xpti.dat After removing these files galeon behaved normally when run as non-root user. Under non-root use these files do not get generated. Hope this helps. Eddie

USB printer in SuSE 8.2
by John Pettigrew 24 Sep '03

24 Sep '03

I have an Epson C40UX colour printer, which YaST detected and set up properly using CUPS. However, when I came to print to it today, it decided that it was a different printer, so I had to set it up all over again, so I now have duplicate queues for it. Originally, it was listed in YaST as "Epson Stylus C40" and was set up as a "USB printer on //EPSON/Stylus%20C40?serial=L5302011019210", whereas today's instance is "Epson Unknown", and is set up as a "USB printer on /dev/usb/lp1". In each case, I ended up using the same drivers and queue options. Is this normal, and how can I get SuSE 8.2 to recognise the printer consistently?

Anyone using an Abit KR7A-RAID???
by Tom Nielsen 24 Sep '03

24 Sep '03

I'm trying to get a RAID 1 (mirroring) setup and when my regular bios starts up, my drives are detected, but when I get into my Raid setup, NO drives are detected. I setup the bios to ATA133-RAID, but still nothing. Has anyone else got this to work? Here's what I've got: IDE1 Maxtor Drive - Creative CD IDE2 Western Dig - Sony CD-RW IDE3 Western Dig - just got it. Any thoughts would be great!
