Dear my friends... I installed a wrong win4lin enabled kernel. But I can not remove the kernel. If I see with KPackage, I found the two version kernel installed with the same name. I could not removed them with YaST, it's locked. I did like this : " susefujitsu:/installer # ls . ..

How is KDE controlling the sound? What switchs do I need to check under the control-center?

Potential security problem in SuSE-9.1
by Mark Gray 31 May '04

31 May '04

Is there a good email address to send information about a bug which might represent a security problem for someone using SuSE-9.1? It is a slight problem, but would allow a Trojan with write access to a certain user owned directory to have a program executed as root. Even without that being a problem, an unluckily named program in that directory WILL be executed as root which could have surprising results for the program which runs it.

installing SL9.1 on a root filesystem with EVMS
by José M. Fandiño 31 May '04

31 May '04

Hello, With other versions like 8.2 and lvm-1 it was easy, but now SuSE (9.1) doesn't provide any EVMS user interface at install time (or I don't find it) How I could install an 9.1 on a root fs with EVMS? thank you. -- -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GCS/IT d- s+:+() a- C+++ UBL+++$ P+ L+++ E--- W++ N+ o++ K- w--- O+ M+ V- PS+ PE+ Y++ PGP+>+++ t+ 5 X+$ R- tv-- b+++ DI D++>+++ G++ e- h+(++) !r !z ------END GEEK CODE BLOCK------

Re: [SLE] Suse 9.1 and modem - problem

HI, I am also having problems with my WinModem, he returns the message NO CARRIER. I already checked all the configuration, logs etc... I believe that it is something with the kernel or with the drivers for Lucent WinModem. bye --- On Mon 05/31, Anders Johansson < andjoh(a)rydsbo.net > wrote: From: Anders Johansson [mailto: andjoh(a)rydsbo.net] To: suse-linux-e(a)suse.com Date: Mon, 31 May 2004 18:47:19 +0200 Subject: Re: [SLE] Suse 9.1 and modem - problem On Monday 31 May 2004 17.51, Hartmut Meyer wrote: > Hi, > > On Monday 31 May 2004 17:40, Basil Chupin wrote: > > [...] > > > In summary, something KDE-related is causing the problem with the > > modem(s) - and it may be possible that it is k3b. > > To be honst, this sounds devious I think you mean dubious, and I would agree. In my opinion it is almost certainly a kernel problem. I think it's time for a kernel update for 9.1. The kernels in projects/kotd intended for SLES 9 work infinitely much better than the kernel in 9.1. -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq(a)suse.com _______________________________________________ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web!

k3b seems to trash modem
by C Hamel 31 May '04

31 May '04

I had been online for 25.x hours w/o any problem, then I used k3b as something was downloading. The modem lost its connection every 1-3 minutes & redialed during the entire burn process. Once I was finished burning that same behaviour continued until rebooting, then it stopped & I have been online now for roughly 14 hours. What gives?? -- ...CH SuSE 9 Works Linux user# 313696 Linux box# 199365

Try the ATI fglrx first.

Then completely rebuild about 1/2 dozen packages and rebuild the entire XFree86 4.4.0. -- Regards, Jason Kurtz Comptia A+ Cisco Certified Network Associate Linux Professional Institute Certified Level-1 Microsoft Certified System Engineer Microsoft Certified System Administrator Microsoft Certified Database Administrator NOGUSKA 741 N.
