Re: Playing dvd's

http://cambuca.ldhs.cetuc.puc-rio.br/xine/ There you can find all you need to use xine to play encrypted dvd's. Something that worked for me in SuSE 9 was to uninstall temporarily kaffeine and anything of xine you have already installed, then install libdvdcss, w32 codecs and anything extra you want and then update/install libxine and xine-ui. Xine will be functional then but you can use kaffeine on top, it is better though if you get the latest (google for kaffeine). Sorry I don't remember more precise details since I did it quite a long time ago. Hope it helps, Felipe.

script/tool for backing up selected directories and selected files in them?
by Wojtek Malinski 28 Jan '04

28 Jan '04

Hi, I'm looking for a script or a tool that would allow me to backup chosen directories and some but not all files in them (some of my files are just too big to back up and can be easily reproduced from the scripts).

Mailserver keeps crashing...
by Tom Nielsen 28 Jan '04

28 Jan '04

My mailserver keeps locking up. Last night at 5:37pm (according to /var/log/messages) was the last time any record of a function was made. Unfortunately the process that was run was not the problem. I can't seem to find out what is causing the problem because it's not listed in /var/log/messages. Is there any where else I might find it? Last night I tried to get my email, but I couldn't connect. I came in this morning and found my lights on my keyboard blinking and I could log in....so I had to hit the reset button. Once it booted, without any problems might I add, I checked the log and nothing was mentioned. I'm really stuck on what the problem is. I'm running 8.2. Thanks for any ideas!

Messed up Konqueror in KDE 3.1.9
by Tom Nielsen 28 Jan '04

28 Jan '04

I installed KDE 3.1.9 from apt-get tonight and I can't get Konqueror to open. If I try to run it in a terminal I keep getting: konqueror: relocation error: /opt/kde3/lib/libkdeinit_konqueror.so: undefined symbol: _ZN9QComboBox4hideEv Anyone know what that is or means and how to fix it? It's a bummer not being able to open my file manager. As far as KDE 3.1.9, it's pretty sweet. Thanks, Tom

DVD's on SuSE 9.0
by Russ 28 Jan '04

28 Jan '04

Hi All, I was wondering if it was possible to play a DVD in SuSE 9? I do not seem to be able to do so with what I have installed. Although SuSE does see my DVD player (the icon on the desktop says DVD and the other says CD-R - both are correct). I can access the drive (I actually installed SuSE from that drive). SuSE sees it as an HL-DT-STDVD-ROM GDR8162B if that matters. Thanks Russ

[SuSE9] DNS response times
by Robert Fitzpatrick 28 Jan '04

28 Jan '04

I just started noticing a problem when a took a local LDAP server and moved it to a T1 at a local data center. Logins with KDE take a minute or longer. When I ping machines by name at this particular data center, there are several seconds between responses, but replies are 100%. I try the same ping by name from a local Windows server and no delay at all. Both machines use the same DNS, primary on the Windows server and secondary from a local RedHat 7.3 server. I can ping by IP from my SuSE workstation and no delay. I think the root of this problem is causing my slow logins, etc. I also have wait times when opening a terminal or file browser. Anybody know where I can look for this to work. In case it had something to do with my local hosts file, I change the search order to DNS, then the hosts file. No change. I generally get faster traceroutes to the data center from the Windows server compared to my local SuSE workstation. If anyone wants to try to their response times, there is a FreeBSD server at the data center at directory.webtent.net. If I do an ldapsearch of that directory, takes several seconds before it kicks back records. On another Linux box, response is almost immediate :\ -- Robert

Viewing Flash files offline
by Fred M. Sloniker 28 Jan '04

28 Jan '04

When I had an install of 8.2 from FTP, I had to get my own Flash viewer from Shockwave. Now that I have a 9.0 install from DVD, it came with a Flash viewer. However, there's a feature missing; before, I could click on a Flash file I'd downloaded and view it offline. Now, when I try to do that, it launches RealPlayer, which does a poor job with the file (no interactive components or sound, when it works at all.) I can view the Flash files just fine from the original Web site, or from a temporary HTML file (copying and pasting code from the original framing site, with adjustments for the local file), but I can't just click and go. I'm guessing I'm missing a standalone Flash viewer. Is this something I can install through YaST, or should I go to the Shockwave web site and get their package?

Rebuilding binary kernel RPM
by Jason Kim 28 Jan '04

28 Jan '04

Hello.. I'm trying to figure out how to build a binary kernel RPM in Suse, so I want to use this new binary RPM on another machines instead of re-compiling for every machine. (of course in same type) ( It looks like I need to use kernel-source.src.rpm and k_*.src.rpm..) I'm familiar with how Red Hat does for binary kernel RPMs, and I have not yet figured out the way in SuSE. Is there are any document for this stuff? ( It's not easy to find the right information :-( ) - jason

YaST and wireless tools
by Brooks Family 28 Jan '04

28 Jan '04

Hi again! Thanks to everyone who has tried to help me in my efforts to get my wireless card up and going, but I have one major problem: I have no wireless networking options in YaST for some reason. Several of you have said that I need to make changes using that option, but, for whatever reason, that option does not exist in YaST on my laptop. I have tried installing the wireless tools rpm from my SuSE 9.0 disks that I ordered using Ximian's RedCarpet software installer, but I still do not get a wireless or 'wireless tools' option in YaST. Being that I'm new to linux, but don't understand how to make the script changes that you guys suggest in some files (I get in over my head pretty quick), I'm really considering re-installing linux and Ximian to try and get it to work. But before I do that, I wanted to make sure nobody had any better ideas. Again, thank you all for your time and patience! Jack
