9.2 and QT and OpenGL?
by Matt Harrington 21 Jan '05

21 Jan '05

I'm new to Suse and currently run 9.2 professional. it appears that the build of QT that ships with 9.2 does not include OpenGL support. is this an oversight which will be corrected in 9.3? in an effort to simplify management of many, many machines, i'm reluctant to replace a package included in a vanilla installation of 9.2 or any other shipping version. i don't want to support both stock 9.2 systems and 9.2 systems with customized versions of QT. any thoughts on the best way to proceed? ---Matt

Anybody Install the -11 Kernels for 9.2 Yet?
by L. Mark Stone 21 Jan '05

21 Jan '05

Would be nice to know if those who experienced lockups and bad module loading with the -10 kernels have any better luck with the newly released -11 kernels. I just put it on a SLES9 box with no problems, but I'm hesitant to put it on my workstation which had problems with the -10 kernel (and is currently running a -5 kernel).

Using useradd for LDAP user account!
by Kennie J. Cruz Gutierrez 21 Jan '05

21 Jan '05

I read the useradd man page and saw the '-D' argument for binding to LDAP. I am trying to use it to add user accounts to our LDAP server but it doesn't do anything! The man page states that if you use '-D' it should ask for the LDAP password and it doesn't, it creates the account locally on the server (not in LDAP). Maybe I am using the incorrect settings, here is the actual command that I used: useradd -D cn=admin,dc=example,dc=edu \ -c "Some User" -d /home/students/username \ -g students -s /bin/bash username Thanks in advance.

Preventing fs errors with the e2fsck command?
by Hylton Conacher (ZR1HPC) 21 Jan '05

21 Jan '05

Looking into running a periodic check on my partitions to check for bad sectors. Reading the man pages on fsck and e2fsck I decided that e2fsck was the better of the two for this purpose and therefore will use the command: #> e2fsck -ccfpvC 0 </dev/hdxx> The above command will as per the man page: e2fsck -cc This option causes e2fsck to run the badblocks(8) program If this option is specified twice, then the bad block scan will be done using a non-destructive read-write test. -f Force checking even if the file system seems clean. -p Automatically repair ("preen") the file system without any questions. -v Verbose mode on -C 0 This option causes e2fsck to write completion information to the specified file descriptor so that the progress of the filesystem check can be monitored. This option is typically used by programs which are running e2fsck. If the file descriptor specified is 0, e2fsck will print a completion bar as it goes about its business. This requires that e2fsck is running on a video console or terminal. Do I specify a double option(-c) as above? Is this advised over a single c ie which is better to detect fs errors and repair them? -- The Little Helper ======================================================================== Hylton Conacher - Linux user # 229959 at http://counter.li.org Currently using SuSE 9.0 Professional with KDE 3.1 Licenced Windows user ========================================================================

SUSE 8.2 with defected 'mozilla-hu' package...
by pelibali 21 Jan '05

21 Jan '05

Hi List, While attempting to update the desktop of my sister in the X-mas period (SUSE 8.2 with Hungarian locale; no KDE or GNOME supplementary updates, and no previous YOU updates), I got to a mozilla-hu package, which couldn't be updated (or removed). I tried to do it from YaST/YOU and also from the command-line, without any success; also attempted to rebuild her RPM-database, still just an error-message... I'm sorry, can't recall the exact version-numbers; all of the stuff on her workstation was from her boxed SUSE 8.2, and the updates were from about middle of December 2004, where also an updated mozilla-hu package was present. I also checked, maybe I got a not-complete, or corrupted mozilla-hu package, but re-downloading the same package from another mirror gave the same md5sum, and resulted in the same error-message. Here I decided, that it was enough, and from command-line started to remove all of the mozilla-* packages. No success, because that bloody mozilla-hu package was still sitting there. Strange enough: that can't be the _only_ mozilla-related package on the system, because as I know, would depend on mozilla's base package. I have no idea, how to remove/update the above defective mozilla-hu package from her desktop; any advice would be extremely appreciated, how to solve this strange situation! Thank you, Pelibali
