pine 4.64
by Aschwin Marsman 04 Nov '05

04 Nov '05

Hi, As a pine user on SUSE 10.0 I have the following version installed: > rpm -q pine pine-4.63-9 On the pine site it states: Note: Install Pine 4.64, or later version, to fix a buffer overflow problem. Read iDEFENSE Security Advisory for full details. http://www.idefense.com/application/poi/display?id=313&type=vulnerabilities Will pine be upgraded to 4.64 or is this already solved in 4.63-9? Best regards from the Netherlands, Aschwin -- aschwin(a)marsman.org http://www.marsman.org

Streaming & mplayer
by Erik Jakobsen 04 Nov '05

04 Nov '05

Hi. I use SuSE 9.3. I want to be able to stream the programs from http://www.dr.dk. I have read this: I need to have mplayer and mplayerplug-in installed. For that dr.dk has this URL: http://www.dr.dk/hjaelp/html/netradio/0501.shtml Further on I also should have the "All in one packages". I have installed mplayer and the plugin for Mozilla from Packman, but have no luck with it. Does this include, that I have the "All in one packages" also ?. rpm -q MPlayer MPlayer-1.0pre7-pm.3 lajka3:~ # rpm -q mplayerplug-in mplayerplug-in-3.11-0.pm.0 Is installed here. Should that be ok ?. I also think on the Codeks Erik Jakobsen

For what it's worth We have now standardized on Suse servers with samba authenticating to Active Directory for our remote offices. I've been wanting to write a How-to for this, but I need some downtime to do it. But, as always I will try to help anyone who is stuck at a certain point. Cheers, Daniel

Samba printer driver share
by hansdp-lists＠sagacit.com 04 Nov '05

04 Nov '05

Hi guys, In what format/directory structure should the drivers be put in the print share? I my smb.conf I have: [print$] comment = Printer Drivers path = /var/lib/samba/drivers write list = @ntadmin root force group = ntadmin create mask = 0664 directory mask = 0775 and in /var/lib/samba/drivers there are a bunch of architecture directories. I put the driver files for the printer I'm working on (HP Laserjet 1200) in the W32X86 directory, but windows keeps saying "The server on which the printer resides does not have the correct printer driver installed." It doesn't work if I put it in the WIN40 directory (which I assume is NT). The clients are Windows 2000 Server. Is there a specific directory structure I have to adhere to? I looked at the print$ share on the Windows box - it had a "3" directory in - dunno what signifies, but I tried that without any luck too. Thanks Hans

I dunno about yast - you can't kill it like other processes. Anyway, all looked good except for the packman one. I found the yast sources at: ftp://packman.unixheads.com/suse/10.0/ Try that. Always try the links in a browser or ftp client prior to actually adding them as sources. -- kai ponte www.perfectreign.com linux - genuine windows replacement part

SUSE 10.0 - XMMS, Kaffeine, xine
by Daniel Carvalho 04 Nov '05

04 Nov '05

Hey guys, Just before install SUSE 10.0, I spent one entire day trying to put XMMS to play MP3 and xine (with Keffeine) to play DVDs, without success!!! I did all procedures and hints that I found on the WEB about it. Before I start trying to do it again, I just want to know if some body is able to watch DVDs and play MP3 at SUSE. I have already done it in a very easy way with RedHat, Connectiva (Mandriva) and Kurumin (Knoppix). Thanks Daniel

Re: [SLE] ripping audio track from vcd
by Adam Vazquez Kb2jpd 04 Nov '05

Start with 'man mplayer'. The man page is long but has a lot of the necessary switches for audio ripping. Going the website has on-line help as well. Just dont expect high fidelity. Adam -----Original Message----- From: eddieleprince <eddie.howson(a)dsl.pipex.com> Subj: [SLE] ripping audio track from vcd Date: Thu Nov 3, 2005 6:04 pm Size: 517 bytes To: suse-linux-e(a)suse.com I have a vcd that I want to rip just the audio track from. I guessing that it can be done by Mplayer. Does anyone know the correct syntax or perhaps can explain in "simple" steps how this can be done (with Mplayer or any other package). Would be extremely grateful.

network browsing in 9.3 KDE
by Mike McMullin 03 Nov '05

03 Nov '05

I have two 9.3 systems that you cannot browse the network in, using KDE (updated to 3.4) Neither of them will find my server's nfs share and let the user mount it, though fstab has the info and will mount it from Gnome. Gnome is on one machine only. How can I resolve the network browsing problem, and the user finding the share to mount? Mike
