provider DNS response slow after DHCP IP renewal
by Patriiiiiiiiiick 01 Jun '04

01 Jun '04

Hello. I have a networking issue. Sometimes, because I am switching from one comupter to another to connect to the net, my provider doesn't assign my IP address through DHCP. I go to the other computer (Windows), release the IP and restart the network on mine (SuSE8.2). I do get an IP address but the DNS is then VERY slow to respond. I think that a reboot solves this issue each time but I presume that it means there is another way to solve it. Any hint knowing that I don't have the possibility to build/buy a router? TIA! Patrick

Hello, I have created a self signed certificate for apache2 encrypted with a key and a passphrase. Everything works well and now I want to remove the passphrase from the key. However, openssl does not allow me to enter an empty passphrase # openssl rsa -des3 -in apache.key -out apache.key.plain Enter pass phrase for secure.htr.gr.apache.key: ******* writing RSA key Enter PEM pass phrase: Verifying - Enter PEM pass phrase: phrase is too short, needs to be at least 4 chars I get a similar mistake error if I try to create a key with an empty passphrase (23369:error:28069065:lib(40):UI_set_result:result too small:ui_lib.c:847:You must type in 4 to 8191 characters) Any suggestios? Thanks

subversion -- I can't get it to work
by Robert Paulsen 01 Jun '04

01 Jun '04

I have read and followed the instructions in /usr/share/doc/packages/subversion/README.SuSE but cannot access subversion. At the end of the instructions it says to check the setup by pointing a browser at http://host/repos/afterstep (where "afterstep" is the sample project created by following the README). When I do this I get a 404 error from my apache2 server. I am also confused by the existence of the package subersion-server. I installed that but it won't start because there is no user or group "svn". So I created the user and group and now svnserver starts, listening on port 3690. When I try pointing my browser at http://host:3690/repos/afterstep I get an error saying that the connection has been terminated unexpectedly. Progress? I'm not sure. I'm pretty sure I'm on the wrong track here! Can anyone point me to the right track? -- Robert C. Paulsen, Jr. robert(a)paulsenonline.net

php no longer working
by Trey Sizemore 01 Jun '04

01 Jun '04

I had php pages working on my local Apache2 server, but after a recent Apache upgrade, Apache runs and I see the Apache page at http://localhost, but my phpinfo.php page at http://localhost/phpinfo.php no longer renders. Pointing to that page shows nothing (never leaves the page it's on). Could someone provide recommendations as to what to check? Thanks.

gimp 2.0.1 idiotic problem
by Jake 01 Jun '04

01 Jun '04

Apologies for daft question but I don't understand how to get dialogues "docked" a la the new Gimp way. Asked on a gimp list but I think it was too basic to deserve attention. When I start Gimp, I see the familiar box with options for tools and so on. Except, there is an area below it which is just grey. If I hover the mouse on the upper edge I get a caption which says "you can dock dialogues here". This would be useful. At the moment my desktop is littered with Gimp dialogues, these could/should be tabbed below the main box. I'm sure it's just me being an idiot, will some kind soul tell me how to dock dialogues? An associated problem (forgive me) where/how can I install the Gimp help files?? I looked at http://www.kuhcampus.de/~roman/gimp-help-2/en/ which is fine but... Thanks to James Ogley btw for http://www.usr-local-bin.org from whence I got Gimp in the first place.

Setting resolv.conf with DHCP
by Craig Altenburg 01 Jun '04

01 Jun '04

I have two ethernet interfaces, eth0 (wired 10/100) and wlan0 (wireless). If I boot my machine at home where I have a wireless LAN it works fine. If I boot at work (where there is no wireless lan) with the ethernet cable plugged the DHCP picks up the IP address and the default route but does not replace the resolv.conf settings. Oddly, if I do an ifdown on both eth0 and wlan0 then do an ifup on just eth0 it works. Is there anything I can do too make this work automatically? -- Craig Altenburg

Making an application shortcut in KDE
by Matthew 01 Jun '04

01 Jun '04

Why is it always such a pain to do in KDE? Program resides in its own folder, cannot be launched by a single command, usually have to find it and './program' how does one invoke this in KDE again? Link to application does not work too well, browse to it select it and nothing happens. Know there is a way, but forgotten it (and why is it not more simple?). Matt

Kmail Antispam Wizard
by Scott Leighton 01 Jun '04

01 Jun '04

http://docs.kde.org/en/HEAD/kdepim/kmail/the-anti-spam-wizard.html On my 9.1 pro install, I have the 'mark message as spam' and 'mark message as ham' actions in KMail, but no Antispam Wizard under the Tools toolbar. Tried searching for in in Yast Install/Remove Programs, no luck. Anyone have any idea why it's not there? Scott -- POPFile, the OpenSource EMail Classifier http://popfile.sourceforge.net/
