by C Hamel 07 Jan '05

07 Jan '05

I have attempted to get the kernel-source-2.6.8-0 (SuSE 9Pro) and am getting a size mismatch error. The download stops about 1% short of its advertised total. Anyone know where to get this animal in its entirety?? Thanks! -- ..."Yogi" CH Namasté Yoga Studio Closed 15DEC - 3JAN

Suse 9.1,Firefox 1.0 and Spellbound extension
by joe lerch 07 Jan '05

07 Jan '05

I can't get the Spellbound extension to work properly, it comes up with TYPE ERROR: dictList[0] has no properties. It seems to work but does not actually find any spelling errors. I tried installing and removing it several times and used the several methods listed at the Spellbound install site. http://spellbound.sourceforge.net/install I also tried downloading new dictionaries from http://dictionaries.mozdev.org/installation.html What am I doing wrong? I am using SuSE 9.1, and Firefox 1.0 thanks in advance joe

Re: [SLE] Scanner of multifunction Canon MP730

I can't help you there I'm afraid. I don't own a multifunction machine myself, but would like to buy one and have used www.linuxprinting.org to find out which to buy.... I'm decided on a Epson Stylus CX6400 - it's apparently has good Linux compatibility and has seperate inkcatridges. Now I only have to find the money ;-> /Christian Bjørnbak Pasquale Castrÿffffec wrote: >I have already tested www.linuxprinting.org (and >www.sane-project.org and others), but I had no results >for MP730. >However I found a compatible printer for MP730 (this >is "Canon BJC-7000"). >My problem is to find a compatible scanner and... the >very big problem is that: with YaST2, when I go to the >list of scanners for select this manually, this list >is empty!

smbfs trouble after kernel upgrade to 2.6.8-24.10
by Branimir Vasilic 07 Jan '05

07 Jan '05

Hi all, I am losing it a bit with these kernel update problems. I have four machines (3 at work and 1 at home) running 9.2 or 9.1 with the 2.6.8-24.10 kernel that give the following message in /var/log/messages kernel: module smbfs unsupported by SUSE/Novell, tainting kernel. The machine at home does not give me trouble when connecting to my wife's windows 2000 box although rsync seems to now bring the machine to a halt, but that is a separate issue that might also be related to this upgrade. The three machines at work are a different story. I can copy files from the command line to mounted samba file systems without problem. However if I open an application, let's say kwrite, and try to save a file from it the save hangs and the file length is set to 0 effectively erasing the file with these messages in the log Jan 5 15:13:02 starmax kernel: smb_trans2: invalid data, disp=0, cnt=0, tot=0, ofs=0 Jan 5 15:13:32 starmax kernel: smb_add_request: request [d6f7ee60, mid=3859] timed out! I lost some files before I realized what was going and I am really not happy about this. Has anybody else seen this problem? Is there anything else I can do other then reverting to an older version of the kernel? Brana

For those running OO 1.1.4 or 2.0, where did you find RPMS?! Either they aren't on the OO site, or I'm going blind. Fred -- The only bug free software from MickySoft is still shrink-wrapped in their warehouse..."

live CD how-to?
by Alex Angerhofer 07 Jan '05

07 Jan '05

Hi List, can someone please give me a pointer to a how-to to generate a live CD? I am not interested in just using the live CDs that are out there, i.e., SuSE's or knoppix or others. Rather I'd like to make my own, or preferably start with SuSE's live CD and modify it to add some software of my own to it. Thanks a lot, Alex.

fstab entry info needed
by Dennis J. Tuchler 07 Jan '05

07 Jan '05

This is not a matter of idle curiosity; I want to make an entry to an fstab file to accommodate a usb floppy drive. I looked at another computer's fstab and found an entry for the floppy drive. I searched man pages under fstab and mount (I could not find other relevant man pages, such as for nodev) found nothing on entries in the last two fields in this fstab entry: /dev/fd0 /media/floppy subfs fs=floppyfss,procuid,nodev,nosuid,sync 0 0 1, what sort of file system is "subfs" and what do the entries mean in the fourth (mount options) field? 2. I expect I should slip noauto in there on the other machine. What should I take from this set of parameters after fs= to the other fstab entry for the temporarilly connected floppy? Thanks for your help dj tuchler

SuSE 9.1: No performance increase using software Raid-0?
by Pieter Hulshoff 06 Jan '05

06 Jan '05

Hello all, I've got a SuSe 9.1 system here, with 4 disks, 2 RAID-0 (2 disks each), and a number of non-RAID partitions on it. Neither hdparm nor manual file copying seems to indicated a significant difference in speed between the RAID and the non-RAID partitions. The two drives of each RAID-0 partition are not on the same IDE connector. Any thoughts on what might cause this, and how I might fix it? I thought there'd at least be _some_ advantage to using RAID-0. Regards, Pieter Hulshoff
