wget Question
by Kai Ponte 22 Dec '05

22 Dec '05

This has been bugging me. I want to do a wget to download a local version of a web page and all it's subcontents. However, I don't want anything above or outside of the tree. Is there anyone who can help? For example, I want this page and all sub-linked pages: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/jdbc/basics/index.html I typed in wget -m http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/jdbc/basics/index.html but then I get java.sun.com, www.sun.com, specs.org, developer.sun.com, bugs.sun.com... -- kai ponte www.perfectreign.com linux - genuine windows replacement part

(I have 1.3.1 running right now.) 3. Which driver are you using? Tools > Configure Amarok || Engine Button. As for the other apps messing up, you'll get that with Linux sound. I find that one sound driver will jump all over several others. (For example, if Amarok is even loaded you can't get RP or Shockwave sound in Firefox and Torcs will crash.) -- kai ponte www.perfectreign.com linux - genuine windows replacement part

upgrade 9.3 to 10.0 OSS
by Ken Schneider 22 Dec '05

22 Dec '05

I have downloaded, using rsync, most of the 10.0OSS version of 10.0 to a spare harddrive and wish to use that as an install source but the 10.0 boot DVD will not allow me to select harddrive as an install source (used to be able to do so). Is there a way around this? There are many more packages available from the downloaded source then on the DVD. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998

Webcam on Suse 10.0
by Rick Schaeffer 22 Dec '05

22 Dec '05

I have just upgraded my system to Suse 10.0 from Suse 9.3. I have a webcam application which no longer works and am seeking ideas as to how to fix it. I am using a Logitech QuickCam Pro 4000 camera. As I said, the camera and application worked fine on SEVERAL Suse 9.3 systems. I have tried it on my main development system which was UPGRADED to Suse 10.0 and where the picture from the webcam should be is a dark grey square. I get the same results on another system on which I did a complete (from scratch) install of 10.0. I have tried the "kdetv" application that came with Suse 10.0 and get the same result with it (ie: a dark grey square where the picture should be). In all cases, the applications come up having identified the camera on "/dev/video0" as a Logitech QuickCam Pro 4000. The "kdetv" application displays a whole lot of other info about the camera that is correct as far as I can tell. I called Suse support and was told that webcams are not officially supported and was referred to this mailing list. I hope someone can help me. This is for an ID capture application at a local amusement park and needs to be live by this coming spring. Rick Schaeffer (rschaeff(a)comcast.net)

Getting CROND to talk to RESMGRD
by Jorge Fábregas 22 Dec '05

22 Dec '05

Hello everyone, I'm trying to use my soundcard (to record from line-in) by using sox. The problem is that sox is lunched by means of a cron job. At the time sox is executed, there's no one logged in at my station. Thus, my regular user cron won't run because sox complains that it doesn't have the proper permissions for /dev/dsp. My cron works perfectly if I'm logged in (via virtual console or KDM)... I submitted a question the other days here and I thought I had solved the issue (I placed my regular user in the audio group). The problem is that after machine is restarted the regular permission for /dev/dsp will be 600. So...cron won't interact with resmgr..and sox can't access the file directly because it doesn't have permissions for it. Any way to make cron work with resmgrd so that it would allow my user process to access /dev/dsp...just like when I'm logged in? I tried appending the following in /etc/pam.d/cron: session optional pam_resmgr.so fake_ttyname but it didn't work. Any ideas? Thanks, Jorge

monitor 1400x1050, kde 1280x1024
by Leen de Braal 22 Dec '05

22 Dec '05

KDE3.4, on SuSE10.0 This is a Acer Travelmate6003, which has monitor of 1400x1050. If I rightclick the desktop, I can only see 1280x1024 as maximum resolution. VGA= Intel 855gm monitor= ACER IDT-1400x1050 These are what is configured with Sax2 Here the res is 1400x1050, tested before saving. I can see that its displaying at 1280x1024, because it is not as crispy as could be, specially in the console windows. I also have an old Dell Inspiron 7500, that does have a crisp picture at 1400x1050 resolution. So here kde understands the higher resolution. Where can I find a place to let kde know, that there is a bigger monitor available?? Or is this due to 855g driver? -- L. de Braal BraHa Systems NL - Terneuzen T +31 115 649333 F +31 115 649444

Recent Documents Wierdness
by Kai Ponte 22 Dec '05

22 Dec '05

I have been hammering my laptop writing all sorts of documents - word, openoffice, MS Project, GIMP... Anyway, I really like using the "recent documents" feature from WinXP and have this enabled in the Geecko menu. I notice, however, that my OOo docuemnts do not show up in the list. Neither do the recent OOo documents show up in the OpenOffice quickstarter icon's "recent documents" list. They only show when I open - say Write - and click on File / Recent Documents. Is there a setting I'm missing to synchronize these? -- kai ponte www.perfectreign.com linux - genuine windows replacement part

Downgrading kernel
by Hilary Hertzoff 22 Dec '05

22 Dec '05

Yesterday I downloaded the most recent kernel update for SuSE 9.3 for an AMD64 system. When I rebooted, my internet connection was dead. I have a feeling that this has happened before and I found an easy fix, but I'm not finding that now. Barring that, is there an easy way to downgrade to the old kernel? Hilary -- Hilary L.
