Which repositories to remove from apt sources?
by Trey Sizemore 30 Jan '05

30 Jan '05

A while back I had a pretty good working apt sources.list. I used the one provided by linux01.gwdg.de/apt4rpm/ and then removed a few repositories that might cause some conflicts or were redundant. Of the following I remember prpm to be one, but there might have been others (maybe people): suser-scorot rpmkeys base update-drpm update-prpm update kde misc xorg mozilla samba3 ximian suser-rbos suser-oc2pus suser-guru suser-gbv suser-obengs suser-tcousin suser-sbarnin suser-ollakka funktronics packman packman-i686 kernel-of-the-day wine suse-people suse-projects kde3-stable kde-unstable security-prpm security Any thoughts/advice? Thanks.

Does anybody have SuSE 9.2 running on a GA-8TRS350MT motherboard? Or, did anybody else have problems with SuSE 9.2 on this motherboard?

YOU kernel confusion
by B. Stia 30 Jan '05

30 Jan '05

Hello SuSE people, Running 9.2 -2.6 kernel. Last night I did a YOU update. It bumped me up to the .11 version of the kernel from the .10 version. Tonight I went to do an apt-get update/upgrade. I received a message: The following packages have unmet dependencies: kernel-default-nongpl#2.6.8-24.10: Depends: kernel-default (= 2.6.8-24.10) but 2.6.8-24.11 is installed. So I did a uname -r That showed the 2.6--.11 kernel. So then I did an rpm -qa. That showed that I had one version of kernel-default and one version of kernel-sourcres (.11 version) and two versions of kernel-source-nongpl. the .10. and the .11 versions. So then I went in and looked at /var/lib/YaST2/you/mnt/i386/update/9.2/deltas & /rpms (the deltas are what the patches are, right?) figuring I would just delete the old .10 versions and be on my merry way. Wrong, to my surprise I found two versions, .5 (which I surmise is the original kernel from the install), and .10. No .11 !! Now I am really confused. Where did YOU put .11 ?? And when it installs the kernel-default does it also install both of the sources? And if it does, why doesn't it overwrite/delete the old packages ?? Sooo, how do I rpm -e the kernel-source-nongpl .10 package when there are two versions with the same name? Can I delete the old .5 & .10 rpm's and hope that the .11 packages are somewhere?? And, do I even need the kernel-source-nongpl file ? Bob S. PS Did an rpm rebuilddb just to be sure.

Whoops !!! Not only confusing myself but the list also. I wrongly identified the file kernel-default-nongpl on several occasions as kernel-source-gpl. Sorry people !! Getting old, getting late. Sorry !! Hope you will be able to figure it out. Bob S.

Possible USB problem with SuSE 9.2
by Bob Stanfield 30 Jan '05

30 Jan '05

Folks, I am running SuSE 9.2. I have a HP psc 1350 printer/scanner/copier/camera port. From time to time the printer responds; sometimes it does not. Sometimes the camera port responds; sometimes it does not. Todate the scanner reponds from under GIMP all the time. The copier always works. The printer spool is run under cups. My network HP 6MP printer works remotely. I do have a zip drive on-line under usb at all times. The hardware scan detects the camera and the printer, but does not appear under /media/.......... What do I look for; what do I do? Thanks. Bob Stanfield 29 Ledge Ln Pipersville, PA 18947 V 610-294-9884 F 610-294-8119

POP3/IMAP Server for SuSE/Postfix
by Lucky Leavell 29 Jan '05

29 Jan '05

We are a small ISP wishing to implement a POP3/IMAP server in conjuction with our \SuSE 9.2/Postfix email servers. Requirements are: 1. Must be secure 2. Must support virtual domains/users without requiring a Linux login account 3. Easy to install/configure/maintain 4. Must support multiple POP3/IMAP clients like Outlook, Thunderbird, pine, and web mail (squirrelmail, openwebmail or the like) 5. Preferably be available on the SuSE 9.2 media I know Courier IMAP and Cyrus IMAP support virtual domains/users and are available on SuSE media but have no feel for how secure they are or their ease of use. Are there any other open source packages which would it these requirements? (At least initially, the POP3/IMAP server would run on one of the email servers as opposed to a separate system.) Thank you, Lucky Leavell

Presario 2100 Internet problem
by C Hamel 29 Jan '05

29 Jan '05

Sometimes the Presario 2100 will not allow any surfing, once connected, whereas after reboot/internet logon it'll again allow one to surf. I have checked the resolv.conf file both when this happens & after successfully surfing and there is no change. Anywhere else to look? Neighbor says it's a minor inconvenience, but would like to get it working correctly. -- ..."Yogi" CH Namast� Yoga Studio

Why can't I RECORD sound through my microphone anymore?
by Martin Deppe 29 Jan '05

29 Jan '05

Hi you, has anybody any idea why I can't RECORD sound using my microphone anymore? It has been working in SuSE 8.2 and maybe 9.0 (I am not sure and I don't know anymore whether I tried it in 9.1, I guess not). However, in 9.2 (up to date) it doesn't work anymore using kRecord 1.15.1 on KDE 3.3.0. The microphone DOES work fine, f.e. I CAN use Skype to make softphone calls and I CAN play soundfiles, but I couldn't figure out how to record sound with krecord using my microphone. When I start kRecord it gets up normally. When I push the record button all seems perfect, except that it doesn't show any signal to be recorded and the record has total silence afterwards. I was playing with the options, switches and whatever in kmix, but it didn't change anything! Can anybody help please? hopefully Martin
