Things I learned..
by Peter B Van Campen 29 Nov '04

29 Nov '04

Hi, While trying to make a usable CD burning sys for my 9.2 I have learned many things. The key to making K3b a usable solution still eludes me, but the failure msg actually asked me to send detailed feedback to a SUSE developer who has modified 'cdrecord' and he asks that we not bother the actual developer. OK, awaiting some more info ... Burnatonce for XP is a good, solid and intuitively easy solution. So, we have something to shoot for. I found a DVD-RW writer that is Dual-Layer writing capable for $60 at MicroCenter. But Dual-Layer media is $8 a platter at the cheapest place I have found. So far I have written CDs of the 9.2 set easily. Fast too, 2.5 min from iso image. Haven't tried DVDs yet. I got NERO with the writer, so I tried it out with the SUSE 9.2 CD1 and NERO immediately went to the I-Net (thanks Zonealarm) and it reported "Source Copyrighted - Writing aborted" No wonder that there are no Script-Kiddies selling copies of SUSE 9.2 on eBay anymore. Bravo SUSE-Novell! M$ media player checks home, too. DVD RW media is getting very cheap; all but Dual-Layer. I just can't bring myself to experiment on $8 media. I found a USB 2.0 external HD at FRYs for $60 after rebate (boy oh boy the arrival of SATA drives is going to flood the market with ATA drives). My 9.2 is on a USB 2.0 MB. When I plugged the drive into the USB socket, SUSE performed flawlessly. Fast too. YASTs H/W report shows the drive as a WD 7,200 rpm, 160MB stndrd cache drive manufactured in Oct 2004. I am seriously considering an ordinary data copy of non-compressed data; perhaps via rsync in cron. Now if I can only get K3b to use my burner. I sees it w/o ide-scsi at boot time. K3b correctly reports the burners features. but cdrecord refuses to run it. Best to all. ................... PeterB

Where is calendar information stored on Suse Email?
by Braun Brelin 29 Nov '04

29 Nov '04

Hello, I'm trying to migrate people from Suse Mail to Open Exchange. I'm trying to find out where Suse Mail stores personal calendar information so that I can migrate the data over to our Open Exchange server. It is in LDAP? I can't find anything in the suse-email-server.schema file that points to calendar information. Any help appreciated. Thanks, Braun Brelin

Formatting smart card
by John B 29 Nov '04

29 Nov '04

Hi gang, Well, I figured out how to get my card reader to work, now the thing is to figure out how to format the card. It's a 128MB smart card, and when I try to format it to FAT16 in YaST partitioner, it always comes up FAT32. I've messed with the options and it still makes it FAT32. Is there another way? Man fdisk left me as confused as I'd be if it had been written in Chinese, heh. Thanks, John

K3b and cdrecord has me confused...
by Peter B Van Campen 29 Nov '04

29 Nov '04

Hi Guys, Now that I can burn CDs and DVDs on 9.2 on ATAPI drives w/o any ide-scsi emulation, I have learned enough to be confused and dangerous :o) It seems that SUSE is using a vers of 'cdrecord' that they have modified in-house. The debugging info tells us that , and asks users to send reports to SUSE-feedback and not to the author. Anyone have any details as to what and why they have done that? While attempting to write to a DVD-R blank, SUSEs cdrecord msgs stated that they do not do DVD-R, and that a license key is needed. Hmmmm. This got me to thinking that I don't know enough about what the DVD alphabet actually mean. DVD-R DVD-RW DVD+R DVD+RW DVD+DL DVD-RAM I know that DVD-RAM in action is just like a slow small HD, but ablut the others I just don't know enough to understand which is better or worse for what. Anyone have any good links? I see some of you refer to XCDRoast, but there is no pkg on the install DVDs for 9.2 and Packman's latest rpm is for 9.0 Whats up with that?

[SLE] how to create > 2 TB volume
by webster＠lexmark.com 29 Nov '04

29 Nov '04

PRODUCT: SUSE Linux i386 9.2 Professional I think the 'subject' says it all. I have four 1.6 terabyte 'drives' which I need to combine into one logical volume. I know how to use both software RAID & LVM 2 , but neither of them are working here. I assume something needs to be done to the kernel? Using software RAID to combine these partitions, whenever I try to format (mkfs), it goes out to lunch. With LVM, the format appears to work OK. When copying files to it, after ~5 GB , the partition becomes read-only !?! I have tried both Reiser & EXT3 filesystems. Thanks.

[SLE] SuSE 9.2 and startup
by P.M. Groen 29 Nov '04

29 Nov '04

Hi there, I'm running 9.2 for a month now and no real problems... Except for one thing. After boot, the network is not available while there are no errors during boot. After issu'ing /etc/init.d/network restart the network is available. When the script brings eth0 down, there is a line saying "eth0 does not exist". When I run it the second time, there is the same message stating that device lo doesn't exist..... Hm... Like I said, no real problems, just some annoyance. In the boot.msg there are lines: <4>eth0: 3Com Gigabit LOM (3C940) done eth0 device: 3Com Corporation 3c940 10/100/1000Base-T [Marvell] (rev 12) eth0 configuration: eth-id-00:0c:6e:60:c6:54 eth0 IP address: 192.168.0.4/24 and it looks like no problem. Except for the fact that it doesn't work directly. In /var/log/messages there are lines like: Nov 29 11:04:18 quasar kernel: eth0: network connection up using port A Nov 29 11:04:18 quasar kernel: speed: 100 Nov 29 11:04:18 quasar kernel: autonegotiation: yes Nov 29 11:04:18 quasar kernel: duplex mode: full Nov 29 11:04:18 quasar kernel: flowctrl: symmetric Nov 29 11:04:18 quasar kernel: irq moderation: disabled Nov 29 11:04:18 quasar kernel: scatter-gather: enabled Nov 29 11:04:18 quasar kernel: rx-polling: enabled And after the network restart: Nov 29 11:17:35 quasar kernel: eth0: network connection down Nov 29 11:17:37 quasar kernel: eth0: network connection up using port A Nov 29 11:17:37 quasar kernel: speed: 100 Nov 29 11:17:37 quasar kernel: autonegotiation: yes Nov 29 11:17:37 quasar kernel: duplex mode: full Nov 29 11:17:37 quasar kernel: flowctrl: symmetric Nov 29 11:17:37 quasar kernel: irq moderation: disabled Nov 29 11:17:37 quasar kernel: scatter-gather: enabled Nov 29 11:17:37 quasar kernel: rx-polling: enabled I can't find any differences.

two questions
by Maura Edelweiss Monville 29 Nov '04

29 Nov '04

When I installed SUSE 9.1 (which I haven't upgraded yet) I also installed Netscape 7.1 as my network browser ans mailer. It'ok .. The only feature that I cannot get to work is to store bookmarks. I can bookmark the currently shown page... But when I restart Netscape after exiting it ... well ... all the bookmarks are gone ! Thsi did not happen with Netscape 6.0 ... I've also installed the last StarOffice version that is actually the same as the current OpenOffice tool coming with SuSE 9.1 I'm using StarOffice for writing a paper. Unluckily everyone else in the team I belong to uses Windows. Therefore I've been requested a MS-WORD compatible paper for revision on part of other people. Does anyone know whether there is an output file format supported by StarOffice and/or OpenOffice that is readable by MS-Word ? Thank you in advance for your help. MEM

Undoing 'K' menu edits?
by Hylton Conacher (ZR1HPC) 29 Nov '04

29 Nov '04

I have a 9.0 system where I have edited the K menu. Which file do I need to delete to restore the menu to its default install ie as it was before I edited it? I do not want to change my background and screensaver settings, just the K 'menu' settings I thought I'd like, but consequently don't. Along the same lines, If I restore a 9.0 /home backup into a 9.2 system will the same 'K' menu file also need to be deleted so that it can recreate itself, otherwise surely I would lose the new items added into 9.2? -- The Kedited Little Helper ======================================================================== Hylton Conacher - Linux user # 229959 at http://counter.li.org Currently using SuSE 9.0 Professional with KDE 3.1 Licenced Windows user ========================================================================

9.2 and Sax
by Tim Nicholson 29 Nov '04

29 Nov '04

Having put 9.2 on a number of different systems now I have come across a common install 'difficulty' when it comes to getting sensible screen geometry refresh rates etc. On 1 occasion, after the initial boot screen the installer switched to an unsupported resolution so I couldn't see what was going on, and on another, the default screen was also unsupported so that when the system switched into 'use' mode at the end of the install I had a blank screen. (Both systems installed 9.0 flawlessly). Having sorted out those issues, I then found adjusting the screen geometry an nightmare. Adjusting the size interacted with adjusting the position, and the final result, as shown using the Sax 'test' button, bore no relation to the results on a reboot. (Yes I did save them). Definitely a far worse experience than either 8.2 or 9.0! -- Tim Nicholson http://www.bbc.co.uk/ This e-mail (and any attachments) is confidential and may contain personal views which are not the views of the BBC unless specifically stated.

Kaffeine is Cool
by Peter B Van Campen 29 Nov '04

29 Nov '04

Hi, Kaffeine in 9.2is quite a surprise after what I saw in 9.1. Most everything I drop on it plays just fine. A real surprise was finding out that some saved HDTV transport streams I recorded on XP via a Hauppauge Win-TV-HD played right off the bat. Can't say about sound as I have not set it up on this PC yet. I thought the Hauppauge *.tp files would be the last thing that would play. *.mpg look good too. I re-discovered some mpg's of the Aussi MetalStorm demos of their awesome 40mm grenade launcher that fires up to 15,000 rounds per minute. Too much!! Any of you have experiances with plugins for other media types? PeterB

9.2 and 3COm 3CRWE154G72 Wi-Fi card
by Tim Nicholson 29 Nov '04

29 Nov '04

Although, according to prism54.org this is the most successful card for use under Linux, I have failed to get it to function. I have installed the firmware available via YOU, and Yast detects it correctly as a network device, but it fails to initialise. Tailing /var/log/messages/ shows that after the firmware is uploaded a reset is issued which seems to fail and the device then fails to respond, with the command buffer filling up. (don't have a copy at the moment as my laptop is elsewhere!) I wondered if the firmware might be incorrect, so installed to card on another (w2k) laptop and then tried to find the .arm firmware. However there are no .arm files on the w2k box. Looking at the .inf file has lines that suggests any .arm file is deleted!! e.g. [NIC_FW.del] 3C154G72.arm Any one got any ideas where to go from here? -- Tim Nicholson http://www.bbc.co.uk/ This e-mail (and any attachments) is confidential and may contain personal views which are not the views of the BBC unless specifically stated.

Installation of SuSE 9.2 stops
by Mohr James 29 Nov '04

29 Nov '04

Hi All! This weekend I decided to re-install my machine with my recently purchased copy of SuSE 9.2. During boot, it would stop at the hardware check unless I started the the "safe" boot. The installation process goes so far as to format the partitions and when it gets to the point of actually installing the software it seems to stop. What I get appears to be the installation screens, but both panels are empty. All I have is the clock on the screen. I can move it around with the mouse and click the "details" button, which does "something", but I have nothing on the screen. I can switch virtual screens and get to a shell prompt. Here, I can run top or ps and it appears as if the processes exist, but they do not appear to be doing anything. For example, in top, the two top processes are always X and swapper. None of the installation processes (yast2) seem to be doing anything. Also, I run df regularly and the disk usage doesn't change. All this leads me to believe that the installation is doing nothing. Looking at the messages on other console screens, I do not see anything that indicate a problem (as far as I can tell). Since the installation didn't work, I pulled out my copy of SuSE 9.0 and re-installed that, without a problem. So, my assumption is that this isn't a hardware problem, per se. Maybe the media is defective???? So, I was wondering if anyone had similar experiences or has an idea of how to increase the amount of information is displayed. I am grateful for any and all help. Regards, Jim Mohr

Re: [SLE] Circuit screensaver
by Daniel Podgurski 29 Nov '04

29 Nov '04

You know, I didn't read the manpage, and simply spouted off what I thought was right. Look in the "programs" section of the manpage for xscreensaver From the manpage: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ To disable a program, you must mark it as disabled with a dash instead of removing it from the list. This is because the system-wide (app-defaults) and per-user (.xscreen saver) settings are merged together, and if a user just deletes an entry from their pro grams list, but that entry still exists in the system-wide list, then it will come back. However, if the user disables it, then their setting takes precedence. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From the FAQ: # * Some of these graphics demos suck. How do I edit out the ones I don't like? * Run the xscreensaver-demo <http://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/man2.html> program. On the left is a list of all of the demos. Each has a checkbox next to it.

Only the ones that are checked will be automatically run by the xscreensaver daemon (though you can still run the others explicitly by double-clicking on them in the xscreensaver-demo window.) After you've run xscreensaver-demo once, you will have a .xscreensaver file in your home directory. You can also just edit that file directly: disable the ones you don't like by putting a minus (-) at the beginning of the line. The xscreensaver daemon will notice when the file has changed and reload it automatically. --------- If you want, you can edit .xscreensaver with pico, vi, emacs, Xemacs, joe, whatever and put the dash in manually. -- BMO

Has shlib5 package been dropped from SuSE 9.2?
by Terry Eck 29 Nov '04

29 Nov '04

Want to run Wordperfect but it will not run. Believe it requires libraries from shlibs5. Under SuSE 8.2 I installed shlibs5-2001.7.29-168. Appears there is no such rpm for SuSE 9.2. Can anyone offer a suggestion? Will I have problems installing the rpm from SuSE 8.2? Thanks, Terry -- SuSE Linux 9.2 (i586) ---- 2.6.8-24.3-default --- Sun 11/28/04 17:35 5:35pm up 6:32, 4 users, load average: 0.10, 0.23, 0.28

SuSEfirewall2 log, bittorrent.
by Theo v. Werkhoven 29 Nov '04

29 Nov '04

Hi all, since I use bittorrent (Azureus), I notice messages like: SFW2-OUT-ERROR IN= OUT=eth0 SRC=192.168.2.1 DST=24.11.118.xxx LEN=52 \ TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=42054 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=6286 DPT=6881 \ WINDOW=1460 RES=0x00 ACK FIN URGP=0 OPT (0101080A01570F3F004EEC99) and SFW2-INext-DROP-DEFLT-INV IN=eth0 OUT= \ MAC=00:01:02:05:4e:5f:00:a0:c5:34:83:4f:08:00 SRC=24.11.118.xxx \ DST=192.168.2.1 LEN=52 TOS=0x00 PREC =0x00 TTL=107 ID=28663 \ DF PROTO=TCP SPT=6881 DPT=7491 WINDOW=65535 RES=0x00 ACK URGP=0 \ OPT (0101080A004FF4FE01BC8854) (the DST and SRC address 24.11.118.xx happen to be the same in this example, but I see errors for other addresses aswell). There are about 1 or 2 OUT-ERROR messages a minute, and maybe 1 DROP-DEFLT-INV message every 5 minutes, so (considering the number of packets going in and out) not really a whole lot. Are these "just" junk packets from other (broken) BT clients or is it possible that there's something broken on my side? I can see why the packetfilter would refuse invalid packets from the outside btw, but it escapes me why iptables would deem packets coming from the inside as invalid or erroneous. Theo -- Theo v.

Burnner question..
by James Hatridge 28 Nov '04

Hi all... OK, I have an old SCSI cd burner. SuSE 9.2 see it as /dev/sr0 and lists it as /media/cdrom2. I can read a cd with it, no problem. BUT k3b can not find it either as user or root. It worked fine under 9.1 and older. Any ideas?

Just going through a 9.2 install and had a problem with package kernel_default_nongpl-2.6.8 installing. Consistantly getting package failed error messages so I ended up doing an abort and everything seems fine.

K3b setup issues
by Peter B Van Campen 28 Nov '04

28 Nov '04

Hi Folks, During the setup of K3b on SUSE 9.2 it issued a msg box stating: "System Configuration Problems cdrecord does not run with root privileges It is highly recommended to configure cdrecord to run with root privileges. Only then cdrecord runs with high priority which increases the overall stability of the burning process. Apart from that it allows changing the size of the used burning buffer. A lot of user problems could be solved this way. This is also true when using SuSE's resmgr. Solution: Use K3bSetup to solve this problem. cdrdao does not run with root privileges It is highly recommended to configure cdrdao to run with root privileges to increase the overall stability of the burning process. Solution: Use K3bSetup to solve this problem." Well it seems that there is no "K3bSetup" anymore! Here is what I found by Googling around a bit: http://www.bright-ideas-tx.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?p=23&sid=731e31a28914f74… "Login as 'root' and set UID for 'cdrecord' and 'cdrdao'. Linux oldtimers know how to do this from a command line. Linux newcomers may feel more comfortable doing this from within their KDE GUI. Here's how: 1. Logout and log back in as 'root'. 2. Open your Konqueror File Manager and browse to: /usr/bin/cdrecord 3. Right-click on file 'cdrecord' and select 'Properties'. 4. Select the 'Permissions' tab. 5. Click the 'Advanced Permissions' button. 6. Put a checkmark in the 'Set UID' checkbox in the 'User' row. 7. Click the 'Ok' button on each panel as you back out. 8. Repeat this process for the '/usr/bin/cdrdao' file. 9. Logout and log back into your regular user account. Now when you start K3b you won't get those errors and you can have fun burning CDs again. " Said Thomas of Kerrville Tx But once that was done I encountered the show stoper: I set up a straight CD to CDR copy using 2 drives and no matter what speed I choose inc 1X the copy fails. Here is the debug output: "System ----------------------- K3b Version:0.11.15cvs KDE Version: 3.3.0 QT Version: 3.3.3 cdrecord ----------------------- /usr/bin/cdrecord: Resource temporarily unavailable.

Now what can/should I do next? It seems that SUSE has modified cdrecord and is looking for user experiances. Note that debug info speaks of "/dev/zero" which baffles me. This is an ATAPI drive. Do we still need scsi emulation? PeterB

ddclient under 9.2
by steve 28 Nov '04

28 Nov '04

I installed ddclient from the 9.2 dvd and set it up using chkconfig as per the documentation. This broke my /etc/init.d configuration. The SuSE rpm seems to run in daemon mode without me having to do anything to the installation apart from change the settings in ddclient.conf under /etc. It used to send messages by e-mail to root but now it's silent even though it's working OK. Anyone else using the SuSE rpm as opposed to the tar file? Cheers, Steve.

Ximian Evolution
by Glenn Williams 28 Nov '04

28 Nov '04

Hello group: I would like to install Ximian Evolution on my SuSE 9.1 Linux, as an alternative to KDE KMail. Is this application in the list of software supplied with version 9.1? As I recall, Evolution is part of the Gnome desktop. Can Evolution be used with the KDE desktop? Does it need to be downloaded, or is the part of the software on the CD, or is it copied to the hard drive during installation? I was able to get the wireless network card configured properly and it is now working. I had apparently neglected to configure the card for DHCP the first time around, and that is obviously why did not work. Thanks in advance for any help. Kindest regards, Glenn

Installing Suse on a dell insipron 1150 laptop
by Ian K. Harrell 28 Nov '04

28 Nov '04

Hello everyone, I am looking for any information anyone might have concerning installing suse 9.1 on a dell inspiron 1150 laptop. I downloaded the eval DVD and it seemed to boot ok but I was unable to check the operation of the sound card, the ethernet card, the modem and the wireless 802.11g card. For the time being this system will be dual booting with XP due to work requirements. If the sound card and modem are a problem I can live without them but I must be able to get the ethernet and wireless card operational in linux. Hardware specs on this system are as follows: - Dell Inspiron 1150 - Pent 4 @ 2.66GHz - 512 Ram - Intel 82852/82855 GM/GME Graphics Controller (this seemed to work ok with the eval-DVD, but I didn't do a lot of testing with it) - Synaptics PS2 Port Pointing Device (touchpad) - Broadcom BCM V.92 56k Modem - Broadcom 440x 10/100 Integrated Controller (ethernet) - Dell wireless WLAN 1350 802.11G mini-pci card (I understand this is also made by broadcom for dell but I could not confirm this nor find broadcom's model # if it's true) - SigmaTel C-Major AudioIntel 82801DB/DBM USB 2.0 Enhanced Host Controller - 24CD Any help, advice or assistance is greatly appreciated.

Hi All, Looking for your experiances with Gigabit Ethernet cards in SUSE 9.2 or 9.1. Particularly PCI cards, not so much on-board ships. I am especially interested in the cheaper cards. I have had almost perfect experiances with the Realtek 10/100 cards, and never paid more than $8, and mostly $2.50. Looking forward to your good and/or bad stories! PeterB
