Re: [SLE] Firefox 1.0 won't print-SOLVED
by Ed Harrison 23 Nov '04

** Reply to message from Francesco Scaglioni <fgs(a)epulse.net> on Mon, 22 Nov 2004 12:20:58 +0000 (GMT) Firefox 1.0 from Suse rpm will not print. Did you get any feedback on this. I have tried the firefox 1 rpm from SuSe as well as the version direct from the mozilla site and whenever I try to print firefox hangs at the lpr command - from which the only way out is to kill it. Using pretty well stock SuSE 9.1. Never got the SuSE rpm to work. So, I went back to mozilla.org and got the full gzip version, not the installer. ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/1.0/linux-i686/en-US/firef… As root, I gunzipped it in the default location, /opt/MozillaFirefox, and now it works with lpr. And, I might add, it is a marvelous product. For real speed test a feature called "pipelining". I have no idea why they switched the SuSE version to ghostscript, nor why it would not work.

Re: [SLE] Network monitor tool, argus, big sister, mon, and nagios

Don't forget the combination of MRTG and Net-SNMP. It will give you graphs (dailies, weeklies, monthlies and yearly). All of this serve by apache, giving you access to the information with a browser to all of what you are gathering. You are only limited by the support of snmp by your devices (MIB). Here we are using Nagios and MRTG for most of our stuff.

I'm looking to install a network monitoring and system stats tool. on 5 independent office networks. All are served by SUSE servers. A quick check of the SUSE delivered tools I find: argus, big sister, mon, and nagios Now I'm a SUSE fan 'cause of all the preconfigured software, but... What I'm looking for is : - I would like the people inside each (office) network to be able to view their statics localy, (20%) - I'd like to have a system at my office to monitor the remote networks, with notification of error conditions (30%). - the system stats should include historical charts of server (linux) CPU/DISK usage. (30%) The rest is nice to have, cosmetics, ease of configuration etc. Now to my questions: Can anybody out there share his/her experience with one or more of these tools, to help me decide on which to evaluate? all tips, warnings, experience appreciated....

Tried that also, no luck. I have placed a bug ticket with bugzilla so hopefully this can be fixed. I have no idea what else to try :( ________________________________ From: Michael Sacco [mailto:msacco01@rochester.rr.com] Sent: Tue 11/23/2004 12:29 AM To: 'suse' Subject: RE: [SLE] wireless card ipw2100 This is going to sound silly, but I would try enabling power management. I have the ipw2200 in my system, and sometimes it won't work unless I have the power management on. It can be turned on by using the following command: iwconfig eth1 power on A quick type of "iwconfig eth1" afterwards should show that the command took effect.

user nobody running find
by John Ryan 23 Nov '04

23 Nov '04

Hello, I recently installed Suse Pro 9.1 onto my laptop. I have run yast online_update every second day. Today, after booting up, I noticed that performance was slow, so I ran "top" and saw that user "nobody" was running a "find". I killed it immediately. Who is this user? Is this normal, or do I have an intruder? If so, how should I proceed? John
