suse-9.1 gnome-2.6
by Richard Bos 30 May '04

30 May '04

Well if I'm not mistaken, it seems that gnome-2.6 has been released by suse for suse-9.1: http://linux01.gwdg.de/apt4rpm/freshrpms.html#suse91 Get it via apt (http://linux01.gwdg.de/apt4rpm) or just from: ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/SuSE/9.1-i386/RPMS.gnome/ ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/suse/i386/supplementary/GNOME… Or any suse mirror of course. -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless

Divx error in Xine
by C Hamel 30 May '04

30 May '04

Though I have Divx4linux installed & mplayer likes it, xine is complaining that I do not have 'ISO-MPEG4/OpenDivx format' and it puzzles me since I had no problems w/the CD-installation of xine liking Divx. Mplayer & xine both used it, apparently. Any pointers appreciated! -- ...CH SuSE 9 Works Linux user# 313696 Linux box# 199365

Migrating from Mandrake to Suse
by Juergen Harms - Desktop 30 May '04

30 May '04

I am preparing to migrate from Mandrake to Suse. Initially, I intend to run Suse on a small partition in parallel to "production" Mandrake and a w2k partition, using lilo dual boot. That works fine between different versions of Mandrake if I create corresponding entries in /etc/lilo.conf and putting symbolic links between the partitions in /boot (/boot/vmlinuz and /boot/initrd.img). I guess for Suse something similar will be possible, so that I can switch between Mandrake and Suse partitions at boot. A simple secondary consideration: preparing this "action" I tried to have a look at the Suse Linux mailing list, but had problems to do intelligent searches. I ended up using Goggle "Advanced Search" with "Suse Linux English Discussion" for "exact phrase" in addition to the search topic. Questions: - Does anybody have positive/negative experience with this kind of dual boot between Linux flavours? - Is there a more straightforward to search method for Suse lists than the round-about Advanced Google Search?

Re: [SLE] Sorry SuSE: 9.1 is Waste of time and money!

But, still the same SCSI hardware problem, no difference. Regarding SCSI devices I verified the following in my previous subject, see link: http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-linux-e/2004-May/3254.html On SuSE 9.1: ------------ 1. hwinfo --storage_ctrl which list 20. Adaptec AHA-2940 U2W (IRQ11) 21. Adaptec 2904/AIC-7850 (IRQ5) But the Yast/Hardware/SCSI controller tool did NOT list the Adaptec 2904/AIC-7850 SCSI controller (used for my devices). It listed only the the AHA-2940 U2W controller (currently not used). > Didnt you try Yast Online Update?? > Yes, I installed all 9.1 patches from YOU. As orientation, in case you have not noted my latest "reply": http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-linux-e/2004-May/4351.html Therefore I did figure out that this have to be a current SuSE 9.1/YaST SCSI problem.

SuSE ftp site ls-Ral.txt.gz missing
by Patrick Shanahan 30 May '04

30 May '04

Finding the location of files and updated version is difficult since SuSE stopped generating '/pub/ls-Ral.txt.gz'. Does anyone know the reason for this action, or is it being provided some other way/location? -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711

SMTP and incomming mail -- PROBLEMS??
by John N. Alegre 30 May '04

30 May '04

I have some questions about mail configuration. I have a new SuSE 9.1 Pro system. There is yet no firewall setup. I choose to set up the mail routing before I configure the firewall. Because I am new to SuSE I choose to set up mail routing and then set up the firewall after that is working. The machine is only on the internet when I am working on the configuration. Background ... The internet is configured. DNS is configured. All browsers and network services appear to be working. telnet, ftp, etc., etc. all work fine The machine has 20 user accounts. What works ... Sending mail from user account to user account. Sending mail out from the machine to any valid email account. Problems ... I can not get mail into the machine, or, if it does come in it is rejected. I do not know which. I know postfix is working as I can do ... libros:~ # telnet localhost 25 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. 220 libros.andante.mn.org ESMTP Postfix Can someone point me to the correct issue? I am not wishing for a complete answer just a pointer to the correct documentation. Certainly if someone has the complete answer I would be very grateful:-) Is this all a postfix configuration issue? The final configuration I wish to achieve is that mail coming in for someuser(a)SuSEbox.mydomain OR someuser@mydomain will be delivered to someuser on the SuSE 9.1 system while mail for someuser(a)someothermachine.mydomain will be sent to one of the other computers on the LAN for delivery on that machine. If this is entirely in the realm of postfix configuration I can work with it as I have a good set of postfix docs. I am more concerned about missing something with respect to having the SMTP port open or not configured correctly to receive incoming mail. Thanks you all very much for reading this.

SuSE-9.1 now starts them at 1000 by default, although you probably have the option of starting them at any number (including 501). I say this because I did an upgrade instead of a clean install on two machines and it left the User IDs the same (500), so there is no problem (yet!) with using id's from 500-999 for users. > So if you use the installation wizard to create the same users you > have on Mandrake, bear that in mind otherwise they'll be assigned > different IDs from the ones Mandrake uses.
