Mozilla and MathML
by Steven T. Hatton 02 Nov '05

02 Nov '05

I'm having problems with Mozilla viewing MathML. The problem I am having with the build from SuSE 10 is different from what happens with the mozilla 1.7.12 from mozilla.org. If someone would verify this, I would appreciate it. I want to report one, or perhaps two bugs. With the Mozilla that ships with SuSE 10, I do not see the &NotExists; in the xhtml below. With the build from mozilla.org, there are incorrect and, downright weird fonts shown. If you get an error saying you need to install special fonts, you can ignore that in this case. If you want the fonts, follow the links in the error message, and get the _4.1_ fonts. One thing I've noticed with the Mozilla from SuSE is that it seems to have MathML fonts built in. I don't get the error telling me to get the Math fonts that I get from the mozilla.org build. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1 plus MathML 2.0//EN" "HTMLFiles/xhtml-math11-f.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <title> fundamentals-of-mathematics.xml </title> </head> <body> <mml:math xmlns:mml='http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML' xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML' id='peano-3'> <mml:mrow> <mml:mrow> <mml:mo>&NotExists;</mml:mo> <mml:mo>(</mml:mo> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>α</mml:mi> <mml:mo>&Element;</mml:mo> <mml:mi mathvariant='double-struck'>N</mml:mi> </mml:mrow> <mml:mo>)</mml:mo> </mml:mrow> <mml:mo>&SuchThat;</mml:mo> <mml:mrow> <mml:msup> <mml:mi>α</mml:mi> <mml:mo>′</mml:mo> </mml:msup> <mml:mo>=</mml:mo> <mml:mn>0</mml:mn> </mml:mrow> </mml:mrow> </mml:math> </body> </html>

I purchased the PC from Monarch Computer Systems. They offer PCs with Linux pre-installed and they just (last week) started offering SUSE 10 pre-installed. So I called them to get advise and they too are having problems. They have a single order for a SUSE 10 system and, as of Monday, have yet to get it out the door due to install problems. They sound much more GRUB experienced than I so they said they are working on a GRUB work-around. Concerning the BIOS setting, its a Phoenix BIOS. In order to access the SATA info you have to hit <TAB>. When you hit <DEL> to enter the normal BIOS stuff there is no mention of the SATA drives. The <TAB> section displays two channels, with nothing on channel one and my 80 gig drive on channel 0. Does this tell you what you need to know? Matt

strange DHCP server problem on SuSE 10.0
by Phil Driscoll 02 Nov '05

02 Nov '05

I have a SuSE 10.0 machine running the DHCP server (I upgraded the machine from SuSE 9.3 a couple of weeks ago). The DHCP server still seems to work perfectly well with all my machines except for one (a 233MHz PII machine with a realtek 8139 NIC). For all the working machines, I see the normal 'discover offer request ack' sequence in the log files - e.g.: Nov 1 20:42:47 opteron dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:c0:26:75:ee:89 via eth0 Nov 1 20:42:47 opteron dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 192.168.2.220 to 00:c0:26:75:ee:89 via eth0 Nov 1 20:42:47 opteron dhcpd: Wrote 2 leases to leases file. Nov 1 20:42:47 opteron dhcpd: DHCPREQUEST for 192.168.2.220 (192.168.2.20) from 00:c0:26:75:ee:89 via eth0 Nov 1 20:42:47 opteron dhcpd: DHCPACK on 192.168.2.220 to 00:c0:26:75:ee:89 via eth0 but on the non-working machine, there's a discover and an offer, but no DHCPREQUEST comes back from the client: Nov 1 20:34:57 opteron dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:06:4f:05:84:a4 via eth0 Nov 1 20:34:58 opteron dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 192.168.2.220 to 00:06:4f:05:84:a4 via eth0 The /var/log/messages show that the 'now borken' machine was working perfectly up to the upgrade to SuSE 10, and hasn't worked since. I suppose there's a slight chance that the non-working machine broke in some way at exactly the same time as I upgraded to 10.0, but there's not a lot to go wrong as it's a thin client machine using etherboot. My dhcp.conf file remains exactly as it was before the upgrade. Anyone got any ideas what might be wrong? Thanks -- Phil Driscoll

XMMS and amarok fails to play .mp3-files
by Jon Jahren 02 Nov '05

02 Nov '05

Hello, I'm trying to get xmms and/or amarok to play mp3 files, however, xmms just won't play them, with the message: /usr/lib/xmms/General/libir.so: undefined symbol: irapp_thread amaroK just won't play the files, or skips through the playlist really fast, and I can't get an errormessage because amaroK refuses to start via the terminal. This is OpenSUSE alpha 2 xmms 1.2.10 installed via YaST and amaroK that came with SUSE or is installed via YaST, can't remember. It's probably worth noting that I know my soundcard works, and that I know mplayer plays mp3 files just fine. Any help greatly appreciated. Regards Jon Jahren

Configuring Postfix Server
by JUAN ERNESTO FLORES BELTRAN 02 Nov '05

02 Nov '05

Hi everyone, I am trying to configure my postfix server and i still not sure the best way to do it. Actually i am designing a system based on php-postgresql, it is configured as apache, postgresql and postfix server (everything is supposed to be executed from the same computer). the system is intended to send e-mails to postfix under certain conditions, when the condition is achieved then php sends the mail as follows: ............................................................................................................................... <?php $to=administrator(a)linux.site; $subject=New request; $Body=A new request has been made if (mail($to, $subject, $Body)){ echo(<p>Messagge successfully sent!</p>); } else { echo(<p>Messagge delivery failed.</p>); ?> ................................................................................................................................ I am sending e-mails to @linux.site domain because of it is my computers default hostname: ................................................................................................................................ # postconf myhostname = linux.site mydomain = linux.site ................................................................................................................................ every time the condition is reached i receive the message: "Message successfully sent!" this means postfix has received the message, and it does even when postfix is unused (/etc/init.d/postfix stop) then the message is sent to the queue until postfix is started again (/etc/init.d/postfix start) i can see the enqueued message by using #mailq command. Well everything is ok by now, but i still not know where the message is sent once postfix is started again. I mean the message is just moved to the active queue and probably delivered to the mailbox via qmgràlocal processes. But how can I open the message from console and verify its content??? What is the command required and where the mailbox is located? As follows al the info related to milbox according to postconf: # postconf d home_mailbox = mailbox_command = mailbox_command_map = mailbox_delivery_lock = fcntl, dotlock mailbox_size_limit = 0 mailbox_transport = virtual_mailbox_base = virtual_mailbox_domains = $virtual_mailbox_maps virtual_mailbox_limit = 51200000 virtual_mailbox_lock = fcntl virtual_mailbox_maps = and, # postconf n mailbox_command = mailbox_size_limit = 0 mailbox_transport = well, this was my first question. The next one is related to the tables used to route every message. Actually I am trying to send mails by using postfix and I would like to use squirrelmail to read such messages. What tables do I need to configure in order to send mail properly to the mailbox LOCALLY on my computer and read them from a mail account by using squirrelmail?? On the other hand, how do I edit every table?, I mean I have got into every table by: # pico /etc/postfix/canonical # vi :/etc/postfix/canonical etc and it seems there is no fields to fill indo I have to erase the whole content of each table an edit its content??? Thanks for your answers in advance.. Regards Juan PD: everything is supposed to be executed from the same computer (suse 10), it is configured as apache, postgresql and postfix server.

by Christian Präger 02 Nov '05

02 Nov '05

Hi, I want to use the AVM Fritz Card PCI 2.0 with Opensuse 10 on an AMD Athlon64. This ISDN card runs perfect with the HiSAX-Driver, but if I want to use the Capi-Driver I get following error code: error in /sbin/isdnctrl addif ippp0 I get the same error if I want to start the interface manually. I also downloaded and installed this two files: ftp://anonymous@ftp.gwdg.de:21/pub/linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/suse/x86_64/10.0/SUSE-Linux10.0-GM-Extra/suse/x86_64/avmfritzcapi-2.6-40.x86_64.rpm ftp://anonymous@ftp.gwdg.de:21/pub/linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/suse/x86_64/10.0/SUSE-Linux10.0-GM-Extra/suse/x86_64/km_fritzcapi-2.6-40.x86_64.rpm How can I get Capi work under Opensuse? Thanks Christian
