9.0 and automounting a usb connected digital camera.
by Rikard Johnels 28 Jan '05

28 Jan '05

Hi all! I am trying to get my Pentax *ist DS to get automounted in 9.0 It sort of worked in 9.1; If i was in runlevel 3 or in a second termina without usb mouse detected it mounted fine. If i was in a X-session it hung totally (no access whatsoever). Probably due to the MS explorer USB mouse conflicting or something. But never mind that. Due to several other stupid backfires in 9.1 i decided to get back to trusty 9.0 Now to my problem; I cant get the hang of how to make the cam auto mount itself. It IS detected and all..

How can i get it automounted and ready for use as i connect it, and how do i umount it after use? -- /Rikard --------------------------------------------------------------- Rikard Johnels email : rikjoh(a)norweb.se Web : http://www.rikjoh.com/users/rikjoh Mob : +46 735 05 51 01 PGP : 0x461CEE56 ---------------------------------------------------------------

[SLE] Here a font, there a font, everywhere a font font
by Ted Hilts 28 Jan '05

28 Jan '05

So on Linux just how does one go about creating a new font? and So on Linux just how does one install a font? and Is there an international standard for language fonts? and What are the tools (on the desktop) for creating and for installing fonts? Hope these are not dumb questions. I do know one very small thing. I know there are files like type "ttf" which contain a font (or set of font characters like A, B, C, etc.?) and the data in the file is according to some format of information which completely defines the font. That's not much to go on. I don't even know if each character is a font or a set of characters constitute a font. Ted

Fullscreen resolution switching
by Paul Howie 28 Jan '05

28 Jan '05

I have just formatted my SuSE 9.1 laptop and installed 9.2 from the downloadable DVD ISO. Now when I try to switch to full screen mode (in frozen bubble, ltris, etc) the display becomes corrupted. I haven't been able to get a screenshot of this, but basically it looks like the application is running in a square, slightly shorter than the screen size and a lot narrower. The surrounding space is full of junk from the frame buffer, bits of KDE, black and white lines. To be as clear as possible: The display looks a bit like this (with a fixed width font) where "-" is frame buffer garbage and "#" is the distorted image -------------------------------- -------------------------------- ######################---------- ######################---------- ######################---------- ######################---------- ######################---------- ######################---------- ######################---------- ######################---------- ######################---------- ######################---------- ######################---------- -------------------------------- -------------------------------- Any ideas?

"Unable to check for updates."
by Hugo 28 Jan '05

28 Jan '05

Hi! I "have" many SuSE boxes with 9.0, 9.1 and 9.2 versions. Everyone of them has had lot's of problems trying to contact update service. The icon for the susewatcher is all the time yellow and I always get a message that says: "Unable to check for updates." While I never got these problems before, currently it's about all I get. What's wrong? Something has changed somewhere (outside my boxes)... -- HG

Bluetooth tales to share?
by Peter B Van Campen 28 Jan '05

28 Jan '05

Hi List, I got a USB-Bluetooth dongle to play with, and have found that SUSE 9.2 seems to be much more ready to plug-n-play than XP. So far i haven't been able to do anything yet, but I am pleasantly surprised at how easily 9.2 was to get going. Would anyone out there share your Bluetooth (BT for short?) tips and tricks? Thanks! ................. PeterB -- -- Proud SUSE user since 5.2 Loving SUSE 9.2 My BLOG == http://vancampen.org/blog --

trouble using telnet/xsession
by Ryan McCain 28 Jan '05

28 Jan '05

I'm using SUSE 9.2 Pro and attempting to telnet into a Netware 6 box running the Netware kernel. I cant seem to get xsession running. I am able to telnet into this box fine using windows and an xclient. Any ideas why this is bombing out? --- omf-h0sck11:~ # xhost + access control disabled, clients can connect from any host omf-h0sck11:~ # telnet SERVER Trying 172.20.10.60... Connected to SERVER. Escape character is '^]'. ------------------------ Help is Ctrl-? or Ctrl-w Exit is Ctrl-x ------------------------ Password: Note: If you are not using an X-Session, select VT100 as terminal emulation type and reconnect ! Do you want the X-Session displayed on a display other than the default [omf-h0sck11.mydomain.com:0.0] (yes = 1/no = 0)? [0]: XConsole can not open an X session, possible causes: 1. The NetWare host is not authorized to use your X display, or 2. Your X server is not installed properly, or 3. This is not an X display. Connection closed by foreign host. omf-h0sck11:~ # --- Thanks, Ryan

Anders' site

Hi Anders, Your rpms for postfix, spamassassin, ect. have helped me greatly before. I was just wondering if you plan to update for 9.2? Or can I drop the spec file from your .src.rpm into the current versions of those packages and build for 9.2? Thank you -- Kind regards Hans du Plooy Newington Consulting Services hansdp at newingtoncs dot co dot za

vsftpd problem - suse 9.1
by perlcgi2000 28 Jan '05

28 Jan '05

I'm a noob trynig to get ftp working on suse 9.1 I installed vsftpd as per the example with virtual users - ftp://vsftpd.beasts.org/users/cevans/untar/vsftpd-2.0.1/EXAMPLE/VIRTUAL_USE… I have the following settings for vsftpd.conf: anonymous_enable=NO local_enable=YES write_enable=NO anon_upload_enable=NO anon_mkdir_write_enable=NO anon_other_write_enable=NO chroot_local_user=YES guest_enable=YES guest_username=virtual listen=YES listen_port=10021 pasv_min_port=30000 pasv_max_port=30999 When I try to login as the virtual user I get " 530 Login incorrect." But if I change anonymous_enable=NO to YES then I can log in as an anonymous user. In the instructions it says how to create the virtual user but the virtual user group wasnt created correctly. So instread I created the group using YAST. Does anyone have any ideas what I did wrong ? Thanks, Nathan ___________________________________________________________ ALL-NEW Yahoo!
