Try the the SuSE AMD-64 list (suse-amd64(a)suse.com) - I seem to remember it being discussed several times. g -----Original Message----- From: Bahram Alinezhad [mailto:alineziad@yahoo.com] Sent: 29 November 2004 10:28 To: dasexton(a)cox.net; suse-linux-e(a)suse.com Subject: [SLE] sugestions for AMD 64 bit laptop (by David) I've never seen a reply for this query at the list (see below). I don't know the sender; If he was newcomer to the list, I guess he disappointed at the start point! Excuse me... In addition to the pity, the subject attracts me.

Is there a command, and what is its syntax, to determine what version of OOo I have installed on the machine, other than C'D'ing through all the directories, perhaps find? -- The curious 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 ========================================================================

Hello, Nice and simple: Anybody else found that Kontact's Notes plug-in/KNotes is not actually saving the notes you make? Would be interested to hear anyone's comments. Thanks, Steve

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. Un-check the ones you don't like. 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?

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.
