cdrecord stopped working
by Hans du Plooy 04 Mar '04

04 Mar '04

Hi all, Suddenly, out of the blue, my stock standard cdrecord on SUSE 9.0 Pro stopped working. Yes, I have changed some things since the last time I used it - compiled and installed KDE 3.2 - I don't see that that should interfere. Either ways, I'm getting this error:cdrecord: Permission denied. Cannot open '/dev/pg1'. Cannot open SCSIdriver. Why cdrecord would like to use /dev/pg1 I don't know - as I understand pg1 is a parallel port device of sorts. I have searched the archives and found references to the problem, but no solution or at least an rough idea of *why* cdrecord would suddenly want to access /dev/pg1 instead of sr1/sg1 - same for google. Things I've tried: -reinstalled cdrecord from the SUSE DVD -messed around with the permissions of /dev/pg1 -messed aronnd with the permissions of the cdrecord binary -tried k3bwsetup2 (both stock and 0.11.5 I d/l and compiled yesterday) on the permissions- tried compiling vanilla cdrecord - couln't get it to compile, couln't get smake to compile to use that either. -reboot (shock horror :-) cdrecord does work as root though, but even setuid root on cdrecord doesn't helpcdrdao has no problem workin either as user or root. Any ideas why this is bugging me? Thanks -- Hans du Plooy Newington Consulting Services hansdp at newingtoncs dot co dot za

IPC$ password error
by marcia 04 Mar '04

04 Mar '04

Dear All, I have my Suse 8.2 distro setup with samba 2.28a and use webmin mostly for samba configuration. I have 3 computers networked using samba. I use a SpeedStream wireless/wired router which is directly wired into my Suse 8.2(samba server). My husband's computer is hooked up to the only printer(HP 940c deskjet) and has windows 98 SE . I , also, have a laptop that is wirelessly hooked up to this router. I can browse easily now through LinNeighborhood on my Suse 8.2, and I can see my linuxserver from windows 98 Network Neighborhood. I can browse and open the shared folders that are my husband's when I am using his win 98 computer, but whenever I try to open the linux computer from Network Neighborhood I get the IPC$ password box that does not accept any passwords. I have studied this for weeks and cannot get around it yet. I have share security setup and encrypted passwords. I did not want to change windows 98 to unencrypted but if that is the only way I will since this is only a home private network with 2 people using the computers-----certainly a trusted network. I believe this could be a permission problem or a password problem even though I did what I can to make sure all the passwords, users, etc are the same on both computers. I cannot figure this out. Here is my smb.conf which shows what a newbie I am at this I am sure. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much.

Partitioning software
by Paul W. Abrahams 03 Mar '04

03 Mar '04

According to a couple of different partitioning programs (Partition Magic and Ranesh), something is seriously wrong with the partition table on my second hard drive. Partition Magic can't even list its contents. Nevertheless neither cfdisk nor Yast finds anything wrong with it. Are there any other Linux partitioning programs that might be able to diagnose and fix the problem? Paul Abrahams

recommended DVD+/-RW
by Riccardo Facchini 03 Mar '04

03 Mar '04

Hi! I'm trying to decide which DVD burner I should buy. I would like to ask for suggestions/experiences with some DVD+/-RW unit, possibly external USB. Does somebody have a fully-functioning DVD burner (by fully functioning I mean to have been able to start from the DVD, make more than one DVD burn, and possibly having been able to burn a DVD/Video from some film made from a digital camera with little or no trouble. New user to SuSE 9.0 Pro. thanks to the community. ===== Riccardo G. Facchini

Mysql questions still
by Damon Register 02 Mar '04

02 Mar '04

I have been struggling with getting mysql running on both SuSE 8.0 and SuSE 9.0. The manual at http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/index.html proved to be very helpful althouhg a bit confusing too. I found over 100 messages on that subject from this list and although they were somewhat helpful, there is one thing still missing. Mysql is running with a little tampering and I can access with -h localhost but not with -h myhost.com. This works mysqladmin -u root -h localhost version but this doesn't mysqladmin -u root -h 192.168.0.91 version but gives me an error saying that host "is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server" I don't find this issue in any of the documents that I found so far. Does anyone know why this happens? Damon Register

subversion
by Glenn Holmer 02 Mar '04

02 Mar '04

I downloaded subversion 0.99 RPMs from SuSE, but when I go to install them, it tells me I need libneon 0.24 (0.23 is packaged with 9.0). Anybody know if it's safe to force the install (or either where to get 0.24 RPMs)? -- ================================================================== Glenn Holmer (Linux registered user #16682) ================================================================== We shall swim out to that brooding reef in the sea and dive down through black abysses to Cyclopean and many-columned Y'ha-nthlei, and in that lair of the Deep Ones we shall dwell amidst wonder and glory for ever. ================================================================== -H.

fsck!!!
by Rh Conacher 02 Mar '04

02 Mar '04

Today I was unable to get my Suse 9.0 system to boot as each time I Ctrl-D'd it rebooted and told me to run fsck manually. I thought GREAT :( but having asked before on the list I booted with my boot diskette and was presented with the options of boot from harddisk, installation, safe mode, manual install and rescue etc. I tried the rescue to no avail and even entered the command fsck -VAa / into the additional options with NO luck. How the hell do I get my system back by completing the fsck!! Desperate Hylton

SuSE Help System and Apache2
by Steven T. Hatton 02 Mar '04

02 Mar '04

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Does the SuSE Help System work on Apache2? I don't know why YaST installed Apache2 on my system, but after it did, I get the Apache default index.html, not the SuSE page that points to the documentation. I use that documentation, and I use the url to get to it. I want that functionality back. Do I simply need to uninstall apache2 (and perhaps reinstall apache 1.3), or can I do something to make it work with apache2? The latter option is more attractive, if it's straightforward.
