Apt - KDE 3.2 wierdness
by Mike Evans 06 Mar '04

06 Mar '04

Sorry, I'm reposting this because I still haven't got it all figured out. I'm trying to upgrade kde to 3.2 using apt as per these instructions: http://linux01.gwdg.de/apt4rpm/kde31to32.html The problem is, after I remove all components besides 'kde' and run apt update apt -s dist-upgrade apt --test dist-upgrade I get the following errors: error: cannot get exclusive lock on /var/lib/rpm/Packages error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - Operation not permitted (1) error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm I am of course running apt as root, and am not running any other package manager (gui or not) that I'm aware of. The really funny thing is, if I remove the kde component and go back to my long list of components, apt works fine. Please, any ideas on how to get past this? If not, what would be the second recommended way to upgrade kde?

LDAP users with YaST
by Massimo Santoro 06 Mar '04

06 Mar '04

Hi, i've successfully installed the OpenLDAP server provided with SuSE 9.0 and configured YaST to read and write users and groups. Though there's still a little problem I could not figure out: when creating a new users YaST creates it like "uid=username,dc=domain,dc=com", while the correct way should be "uid=username,ou=People,dc=domain,dc=com". Even putting ou=People,dc=domain,dc=com in the YaST/LDAP client settings doesn't change the (wrong) result. Any LDAP/YAST geek around there? :-) Massimo Santoro

[9.0] Question about prism_usb.o
by Adolph & Sharon Weidanz 06 Mar '04

06 Mar '04

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I am hoping someone here can help. A few months ago I asked the NG about the Hawking wu250. At the time I hadn't gotten 9.0 so I couldn't try anything. Well I have 9.0 and have a week off from school in which to get it running on my desktop (laptop's been running it since November). The big hitch is the Hawking wu250 a usb wireless acess point (I think that's what it is called). When I loaded suse, and went through the network setup, I selected wireless, then set up the essid and wep. Then I selected prism2_usb.o from the list. When I selected USB (vice PCMCIA) the the driver name unhighlighted. I clicked finish and it did it's thing. The little tower had the link light lite. I rebooted, and during the system init, wlan-usb came up as 'hotplug' and the system started in the normal way. When I tried to ping the router, it came back no network connection. An ifconfig only had 'lo' and not wlan0 or wlan-usb. I checked dmesg and it came back that prism2_usb.o was loaded and two more lines only. A /sbin/depmod -a came back with nothing. ifup wlan-usb came back with an error... I tried googling and checking back NG entries and couldn't find anything that helped. I do know that linux-wlan-ng list this as one that works with wlan-ng. I wanted to see if I can get prism2_usb to work first before going that route. thanks - -- Adolph & Sharon Weidanz S/V Time To Paws 43' 1978 Endeavour Ketch -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (MingW32) iD8DBQFASSwAlC+PSm9+eB0RAlP7AKCLxYt8ilCp+YZ4SqXeYjLXSzI2XQCfe+P9 PTPd0L1lWrZpkDmk4qOjn7I= =gnJp -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

What are the correct permissions, owner and group for my cdrom drive? It is now root:root and I can't access it as a user.

Wireless-LAN <--> Sound-Play-Problem
by Andreas Härtel 05 Mar '04

05 Mar '04

Hello, my Soundcard is running, my Wireless-LAN-card is running, too. But if I plays MP3's in "xmms", the speed isn't constant and there are bad noises: it sounds as you are using an handy next to an radio. Now - I think - this is my Wireless-LAN card, because often, when I transmit datas via Wireless-LAN, I hear this noise. Interesting: if I use "mp3blaster" in a console under X, I can't hear this bad noises! Can someone help me? Thanks, Andreas SuSE 9.0 on a Toshiba-Satellite 2410-404 Notebook an internal PCMCIA Toshiba Wireless-LAN-card 82801CA/CAM AC'97 Audio Controller "Configuration is correct, so I think ... "
