MySQL Support in Courier Authlib
by Lucky Leavell 31 Dec '05

31 Dec '05

OS: SuSE 10.0 Pro I am trying to locate the authmysql component in the Courier Authlib packages and do not find it. Have I missed it somewhere in the SuSE distribution? OTOH, I was pleased to see MySQL and PostgreSQL modules available for Postfix. (I had to roll my own from source in 9.x.) Thank you, Lucky Leavell

Before I went to 10.0 I had both the 1.4 and 1.5 JRE and JVM's running on my laptop with no issues. OOo ran with 1.4, which it needed and I did all my development, plus ran Azareous in 1.5. -- kai ponte www.perfectreign.com linux - genuine windows replacement part

ATI 9800 on 9.1
by Paul Ryan 31 Dec '05

31 Dec '05

I just purchased a 9800 pro graphic card and I'm having trouble getting 3D to work. I went to ATI and loaded the installer program and on reboot the computer wouldn't init level 5. Ran Sax2 and got my 2D graphic back. (Note that during the installation I did not have the graphical ATI pics that the site shows,looked more like Yast in console) I then went back to the ATI site and downloaded the RPM for my system and installed it with Yast, again upon reboot had to run Sax2 again to come to level 5 When I open a shell window and type "fglrxconfig" it starts working I quit after it asked for the name of my mouse (PS2)witch I couldn't find. So basically I have two questions first what all does fglrxconfig want to know and if I go through the questions will 3D work or must I reinstall the RPM and run fglrxconfig from a failsafe boot? Thanks for your replies in advance Paul Ryan

Unsupported scanner
by suse_gasjr4wd＠mac.com 31 Dec '05

31 Dec '05

Visioneer Paperport Vx I googled Kooka, sane, and did a general google... The best I can find is no scsi support for any Visioneer items, and I don't see too much for the Vx model. Anyone have one of these running under 9.3 or 10? They made more than one connection type. This is the scsi version. (I think there were even a difference in mac and pc versions. This is a mac version. Just don't ask me the difference. Maybe firmware?) Or am I just screwed? This is a very nice little scanner. Yea, only B&W, but perfect for faxing, scanning receipts, and checks... Just walk up to it and stick it in... I'm just not seeing anything that would help. Any pointers? -- Thanks, George "America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves." -Abraham Lincoln

mount error: invalid argument (smbfs)
by Felix Miata 30 Dec '05

30 Dec '05

In 9.3 with 2.6.11.4-21 kernel /var/log/messages tells me "kernel: smbfs: Unrecognized mount option noauto" when I try to mount this samba share manually. To mount the share, I must edit fstab to remove the noauto option, mount, then put it back after mounting so that it won't automount on a reboot. Mandriva 2006 with 2.6.12 kernel gives me no such foolishness with the exact same fstab entry, "... smbfs ro,fmask=664,noauto 0 0". How can I fix this? -- Jesus Christ is the reason for the season.

Wierd, innit? I noticed, too, that SUSE shipped 1.4 instead of 5.0. It took a bit of work to find then install the 5.0 version of the JRE/JDK. My guess is - like Apache - many people are still using the depricated version (heck, they're coming out with 6.0 very shortly) and Novell didn't want to upset anyone. It is there on YaST, if you look for it. -- kai ponte www.perfectreign.com linux - genuine windows replacement part

by Istvan Gabor 30 Dec '05

30 Dec '05

Hello all: Now I'm facing with another problem in firefox 1.5. I want to save a html page just as one file, not the whole page with images etc (complete webpage). How can I do this in 1.5? In older versions I could choose from save as "html page", "cpmlete webpage", "tetx" and "all".
