HOWTO email password administration with LDA
by Richard Mixon (qwest) 30 Nov '04

30 Nov '04

Using the default SLES 9 install of the mail server (postfix/cyrus imap) requires LDAP use. How does one allow virtual users (non-shell) to change their password? I've used tools such as webcyradm before but they work with mysql instead of LDAP. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thank you - Richard

problems with yast on 9.1 wanting wrong versions of software
by Jason Joines 30 Nov '04

30 Nov '04

I copied the contents of my SuSE 9.1 Pro DVD up to a local web server. I've done many install by booting off of a CD-ROM made from boot.iso and pointing to this URL as the install source. On the boxes that were installed that way I have been able go into Yast and "Install and Remove Software" without problems until recently. Now I get errors about "package not found on source medium". As an example I just went tried to install all the php stuff on a test webserver. I guess gpg was a dependency somwhere as I get this error, "Package gpg-1.2.4-68.4.i586 was not found on the medium.". When I go look at my install source I find gpg but it's the wrong version, gpg-1.2.4-64.i586.rpm. This is the case with literally dozens of packages, not just gpg. I've also run the updates via YOU pretty ofen. What has happened to make Yast think it needs gpg-1.2.4-68 instead of gppg-1.2.4-64? How do I fix it? Jason Joines =================================

Taboo??
by Dennis J. Tuchler 30 Nov '04

30 Nov '04

This question comes after a search at the Novell/SuSE web site for the term "Taboo" There is nothing in the instructions on installation on this subject. I was installing 9.2 and just got to Detailed Selection, selecting applications etc. I got a notice that Taboo selection X11 is required by OT.. KDE Desktop requires X11 ... One of the alternatives was not to "set X11 to Taboo" What does all that mean? What is involved in (not) setting X11 to Taboo? Thanks

Solution to anoying "Administrator PW request"
by Peter B Van Campen 30 Nov '04

30 Nov '04

Hi, On 9.2, as updated via YOU, and KDE updated from the SUSE updates ftp site, about half the time I click the YAST 'run as Administrator' button the PW entry box opens BEHIND the YOU window. Since I choose to hide the task bar, you must anticipate or remember, the box is hidden. I certainly hope KDE and/or SUSE fix this since it is now happening more often than it did in 9.1 Does KWallet have a solution to entering the root PW when YAST asks for PW? PeterB

Lots of powersaved messages on dual Opterons
by Richard Mixon (qwest) 30 Nov '04

30 Nov '04

I noticed the following messages in /var/log/messages: Nov 30 13:00:57 gofish [powersaved][6473]: resmgr: server response code 200 Nov 30 13:01:30 gofish last message repeated 13 times Nov 30 13:02:32 gofish last message repeated 31 times Nov 30 13:03:35 gofish last message repeated 31 times Nov 30 13:04:37 gofish last message repeated 37 times Nov 30 13:05:40 gofish last message repeated 31 times Nov 30 13:06:42 gofish last message repeated 31 times I would think this is not correct or a setting is wrong. No? I have searched the archives but most references were regarding laptops. I am running SLES 9 on dual Opteron 246 on a Tyan S2882 motherboard. Its a rackmount server that will run 24/7 so I do not believe there is a reason to have powersave on. Any ideas/suggestions are appreciated. Thanks - Richard

Anybody know of an rpm of xmltv for SuSE 9.2. I'd rather not just do a make/install? Also is there an rpm for mythtv? Geoff

Re: [SLE] SUSE taking over the World! Finally!

SuSE is my favorite linux distribution, right up there with Debian.

I'm wary of a trait of the human psyche: the tendency to put all his/her eggs in the same basket and to play it safe. After all, that's how monopolies are born.

Printer won't print
by Kelly J. Morris 30 Nov '04

30 Nov '04

I am using SuSE Pro 9.0. I tried to print a document in oOo 1.1.1 and now the printer (HP Deskjet 990 Cxi USB) will not print anything at all, from any application. The icon on the 990 indicates the jobs are paused, but when I cancel the jobs, the "Paused" text remains and it still won't print. When I open the "Properties" window, it says: "Paused: Unable to open USB device "usb://HP/DeskJet%20990C": No such device" I'm puzzled as to why this happened and how to get things going again. Is there a kill command that I can use in a terminal that might get things unstuck? Any guidance would be appreciated. TIA. Kelly Morris
