DVD filenames are not correct under Windows...
by Christopher Reimer 22 Jan '05

22 Jan '05

Greetings! I created an iso file using mkisofs and burned the file to DVD. When I mounted the iso or ls the DVD, the filenames appears normal. When I view the DVD under Windows, the filenames are in 8.3 format. How do I get the long filenames under Windows? Thanks! Christopher Reimer

Suse 9.1: DVD Recorder hangup over CDRs...
by Christopher Reimer 22 Jan '05

22 Jan '05

Greetings! I just recently got a Samsung DVD Recorder (actually, it's Toshiba drive... go figure). Since I don't have any blank DVDs, I tried blank CDs (TDK 8x and Samsung 52x) to test out the drive. The drive has trouble recognizing that there's a blank CD in the "cup holder" and flashes the panel light. If I re-insert the CD two or three times, the drive behaves normally and I can record the CD without problems. It also hangs up on manufactured CDs, but plays nice with DVDs. I tried this drive on my Windows XP system, and it has the same problems. Is this normal for DVD recorders? Or does my new drive hate CDs? Thanks! Christopher Reimer

How to automatically log out idle users from pts lines after 60 minutes of inactivity? Autolog 0.35-721 works fine with users logged on tty* consoles, but ignore users on pts/* lines.

can not find kernel-source-2.6.8-24.5.i586.rpm
by rada and gus 22 Jan '05

22 Jan '05

Dear Susers, I updated the kernel to kernel-default-2.6.8-24.5.i586.rpm on a friends laptop, because I had read that there were problems with the stock kernel of Suse 9.2 pro. Now I can't seem to find the matching kernel-source package anywhere on the Suse website or using google. The only package I found on the Suse site was the kernel-source-2.6.8-24.10.i586.rpm I want to install the sources to be able to compile the smartlink modem drivers using slmodem-2.9.9-alsa.tar.gz Do I have to install the kernel-default-2.6.8-24.10.i586.rpm and the matching source package or where can I find the ~24.5 package? Thanks. Gustav Degref.

Missing audio in 9.2
by Michael W Cocke 22 Jan '05

22 Jan '05

I know this has been discussed, but darned if I can find it - and I have searched (under the wrong terms, obviously). My SuSE 9.2 system was working great, then I ran YOU, and now I'm missing most of my audio. Xmms works, almost none of the kde system notifications do. I recall reading that there's an update that needs to be backed out, but I don't remember the details. Can someone give me a pointer?

Re: [SLE] [suse] prob upgrading 2.2.16 to 2.4.21 (suse 7.0 pro)
by Joao Dias 22 Jan '05

22 Jan '05

You are probably right, rpm version is 3.0.4 and cpio is 2.4.2 I will see what I can do, starting with cpio upgrade, and then rpm. Later I will post my results. Many thanks Joao ----------------------- Ken Schneider wrote Just a guess as you are running SuSE 7.0 -- it may be a problem the the version of rpm that you are using. I believe you are using ver. 3.x and the newer kernel rpm is built (I think) using ver. 4.x. If this is the case you will need to update rpm as well. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 * Only reply to the list please* "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge

[suse] prob upgrading 2.2.16 to 2.4.21 (suse 7.0 pro)
by Joao Dias 22 Jan '05

22 Jan '05

Hi all, I have suse 7.0 pro installed in an nice but very old toshiba portege 300CT, because of performance issues and also because of hardware compatibility wich is very good. But I need to make the upgrade in subject because of usb ethernet support. I downloaded kernel 2.4.21 rpm (first one with usb ethernet support I need) from suse site (8.1 I think). I followed suse instructions to upgrade the kernel with it, but got this as a result of rpm install (important note: I have already checked md5sums for the rpm and they are good): root@proteus:/usr/src/packages/RPMS/i386 > rpm -ivv --nodeps --force k_deflt-2.4.21-168.i586.rpm D: counting packages to install D: found 1 packages D: looking for packages to download D: retrieved 0 packages D: New Header signature D: Signature size: 149 D: Signature pad : 3 D: sigsize : 152 D: Header + Archive: 22178636 D: expected size : 22178636 D: opening database mode 0x42 in /var/lib/rpm D: found 0 source and 1 binary packages D: installing binary packages D: getting list of mounted filesystems D: New Header signature D: Signature size: 149 D: Signature pad : 3 D: sigsize : 152 D: Header + Archive: 22178636 D: expected size : 22178636 D: package: k_deflt-2.4.21-168 files test = 0 D: file: /boot/Kerntypes-2.4.21-168-default action: create D: file: /boot/System.map-2.4.21-168-default action: create D: file: /boot/config-2.4.21-168-default action: create D: file: /boot/initrd action: create ......

I am sure HD is sane, because the Suse 7.0 pro has been installed from scratch only few days ago without a single error. does cpio need an upgrade ? can the original rpm be corrupted ??(I doubt so) can this have something todo with using ReiserFS for / partition (was new in 7.0) (note: my current kernel is the default pentium optimized one, and I backed up /boot before trying this; for anyone interested in making this, reccomend also backing up other important stuff; as you can see the script started removing something to the make the upgrade and if not successfull you can get in trouble) Thanks for any feedback Joao

HP printer woes, not Linux specific
by Doug McGarrett 22 Jan '05

22 Jan '05

Re: HP Deskjet 970 Cxi I don't use this much, since I have little use for color, and inkjet printers are expensive to operate. However, it worked about 4 weeks ago. Tried to bring it up tonite, and the orange and green lights flash in unison no matter what I do. Went to HP website--they had two solutions, neither of which worked. Have tried the machine on two computers, both of which used to drive it. I _really_ do not want to buy another color printer for the twice a year or so I would use it. (I've already thrown out an almost new Epson because I could not clear one of the ink-jets. I thought HP would solve that, since the ink jets are in the cartridge.) HP "solutions" do not seem to imply a cartridge problem altho that could still be possible. (Does anyone know if there is a uP reset button on the machine somewhere?) Suggestions? --dm
