NFS question
by Tom Nielsen 17 Feb '04

17 Feb '04

I managed to create an openvpn connection from my home to my work machine behind my work's firewall. I also managed to mount my work drive to my home system via NFS in Yast2. My problem was that I couldn't unmount it. I tried everything and it kept saying device busy cannot unmount. I waited 10 minutes after closing all programs and still no luck. I tried shutting off NFS client, my vpn all with no luck. How do I unmount my NFS connection? I also have the same problem, every now and then, with my openvpn connection. I do a control c in the terminal and it won't stop. Should I be doing a "control c" or is there another way. I end up just closing my terminal window to get it to shut down. I guess this locked up my work system the other day and I had to go into the office to reboot it. Thanks for any thoughts. Tom

Scrollbars broken in KDE apps. Anyone else expriencing this?
by Bob Pearson 17 Feb '04

17 Feb '04

I believe this is a QT 3.X issue though it may be in kdebase. Scrolling using scrollbars is broken: This existed in KDE 3.1 and is also in 3.2. Category: annoying but does not affect work. Example applications are: kmail 1.6 and Konqueror 3.2.0 RPMS: kdepim3-3.2.0-8 (and earlier) qt3-3.3.0-47 (and earlier) kdebase3-3.2.0-7 (and earlier) kmail 1.6 [ from package kdepim3-3.2.0-8 ] (and earlier) konqueror 3.2.0 [ from package kdebase3-3.2.0-7 ] and earlier Problem Description: Reading a web page or an e-mail greater than a viewable page, if one grabs the down arrow control in a scrollbar and holds it, when one lets go, the page continues to scroll. Clicking on another desktop and then returning to the app stops this behavior. Otherwise the scrolling repeats the last line in the viewable area and scrolls to the bootom of the scrollbar slowly. Recreate: Bring up a page the is large in Konqueror or read a long email and grab the bottom arrow of a scrollbar with the leftmost mousebutton.

Our company (South African) writes fleet management software (Windows based) that is marketed internationally by Siemens VDO. One of the options we had to include was the ability to completely disable all driver-based reporting as to produce reports on driver performance would be illegal in Germany and some other countries. -- Steve Crane http://craniac.afraid.org

Re: [SLE] Keyboard lock
by mauro 17 Feb '04

Thanks Brett. Pressing NumLock has no effects at all, and the same with plug/unplug-ging. Keyboard Hw working (... if you open another session it works.) Then you can come back to frozen session with ctrl-alt-f7 ... I have a new idea on elements that can help solving the problem: perhaps problem resides on acrobat reader and mouse scolling. Last little particular things I did was scrolling with mouse (on scrolling bar) a pdf document... I'll try to test this new ipothesis ... I remember for that functionality in Mandrake I had to have a particular .Xresources in ~/ and I had to launch a $xrdb -merge .Xresources .... In suSE there is no .Xresources in my home. I don't know how but the same functionality is working by default. If there are other tests/programs to revitalize the keyboard or kills I can operate to try to restart a blocked program, module or ... (i have a txt from $ps -ax from the second session...) Ah, just now I have a frozen Xsession, ... I'm writing from second new session :-) ... Good coding mauro

Keyboard lock
by mauro 17 Feb '04

17 Feb '04

Hi everybody. I have a Suse 9.0 from a couple of months now and sometimes I had an interesting problem, it seems a bug: - keyboard locks and no keys are sent to applications from keyboard. Mouse still works ... So it's funny but you can't do nothing... no special keys works :-) I tryed also xvkbd but keys are not sent ... You can open (clicking with the mouse) another session and everything works... and with mouse if you need you can cut&paste ... So my question is: Can I do anything to save/continue my session, or to begin understanding what went bad ? (what to look for, what try to kill, what tests )? For the rest, I find suse very stable and comfortable. Thanks in advance for any help, mauro Italy

How to start rlogin/rsh service?
by Terje J. Hanssen 17 Feb '04

17 Feb '04

As I haven't found or got a solution to this yet, I try again: The rlogin/rsh packages is installed on my SJDS/SuSE Linux 8.1 host, and I can rlogin from this host to another (Solaris) networked host. But the opposite way, from Solaris to Linux, the latter don't respond the the rlogin request. I was told on this list that the rlogin/rsh services on Linux 8.1 is turned off by default. AS I am not able to open 'network services' in the Yast based SJDS Configurator I wonder: How to possibly turn on rlogin/rsh services and start the daemon manually througt config files and/or startup script?

Apache2 and Vhosts?
by John Doe 17 Feb '04

17 Feb '04

Hello all, I've been trying to get my vhosts working for different sites/ports here is the config I've tried and from what Apache.org says...it would seem that it should work but it isn't. Hosts file has (I'll add to dns later) 10.0.1.1 www.test.com 10.0.1.1 www.test2.com and the listen.conf as: NameVirtualHost 10.0.1.1:80 NameVirtualHost 10.0.1.1:81 <VirtualHost 10.0.1.1:80> ServerName www.test.com DocumentRoot /srv/www/htdocs/ </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost 10.0.1.1:81> ServerName www.test2.com DocumentRoot /srv/www/htdocs/site2/ </VirtualHost> Listen 81 Listen 80 I can get to the main page fine but when I type in www.test2.com I get the same page. If I specify :81 then yes I get the correct page. Isn't there a way to configure the server that when I type in www.test2.com it will read the apache config files and redirect it to the correct port 81. Thanks for the help. ---------------------------------------------- Note: I can use the following and get it to work great. I just would like to undertand how to use different ports correctly NameVirtualHost * <VirtualHost *> ServerName www.test.com DocumentRoot /srv/www/htdocs/ </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost *> ServerName www.test2.com DocumentRoot /srv/www/htdocs/site2/ </VirtualHost> Listen 80 -------------------------------------------------- __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Re: [SLE] SuSE Pro 9.0 Questions

Just FYI - I installed on a Acer Travelmate 290 and noticed similar concerns with the fonts. Then went into YaST and found that the colors were set to 16 not 24 - big difference. Also noticed that I could set my screen to the specific Acer model and that worked much better as well. Cheers. -----Original Message----- From: Vibranze Zheng <vibranzez(a)yahoo.co.uk> Sent: Feb 17, 2004 10:12 AM To: suse-linux-e(a)suse.com Subject: [SLE] SuSE Pro 9.0 Questions Hi Guys, Just finished installing SuSE Pro 9 on my Fujitsu lifebook, it's very nice except the cursor and font size. 1. How to change the 2D watch cursor to 3D sandwatch cursor? I noticed the 3D cursor at beginning of the installation is very nice, but how come when I go into KDE/Gnome2, the cursor change to 2D look? What should I do to get back the 3D cursor? 2. I noticed the fonts in KDE is very small and not too sharp, and it not comfy for eyes. But for PC one, they are very bright and sharp. Is there any diff when we install it for PC and Laptop? 3. I tried to update my system with online update and already updated all the available packages, but suse watcher still give me the red exclamation sign and in the report, it shown 4 packages (openssh, xntpd, etc) need to be updated, how come it didn't show on the online update? 4. Does SuSE provide update to KDE 3.2? 5. Any recommended sites that provides SuSE oriented RPM? Please Advise. Thanks.
