fwlbuilder,
by Chadley Wilson 06 Dec '05

06 Dec '05

Greetings, Having a good look at fwlbuilder, and it is good. But I have an existing fwl (a BIG one) and don't really wish to rebuild it in fwlbuilder from scratch, So I must ask if there away to get fwl builder to import my current fwl so that I might be able to use fwl builder for maintaining my fwl. Of course on all my new fwl servers I start from scratch. TIA Chadley

isolinux initial keyboard dead (Asus P5GD2 Board, suse-10.0 CDs/DVDs)
by Bernd Melchers 06 Dec '05

06 Dec '05

Asus P5GD2-Premium Board Pentium 640 CPU, 2x512 MB Ram PS/2 Keyboard Cherry RS 6000 M ATi X600 Graphics Powercolor SATA Maxtor 250 GB disk I maintain some systems with the above configuration. They boot flawlessly with Knoppix, suse-9.2 and Windows XP-CDs. They work flawlessly with Knoppix, suse-9.2 and Windows XP. But it is NOT possible to boot them with (suse-9.3 or) Suse-10 installation or live CDs or DVDs, neither x64 nor i32 versions. I upgraded mb bios and DVD-Drive-Firmware, nothing helps. I changed BIOS PnP/OS, ACPI-2 and APIC Options, nothing helps. I see this: I insert the optical medium, boot, the Bonjour-Screen appears. Then when the grub boot menu appears, the keyboard is absolutely dead. So it is not possible to select an boot option. Therefore, after the time out, grub boots into the "boot from harddisk"-Menu-item and dies. I checked the MD5-Sum of the optical disks and could use them to install other computer with other mainboards. mit freundlichen Grüßen Bernd Melchers --

beagle with web access
by GK 06 Dec '05

06 Dec '05

Hi, I've started using beagle included in opensuse10.0. Installation via Yast worked fine, also creating the index and search afterwards via GUI "Best" works fine. But how can I manage the web access, e.g. via Firefox ? At the beagle-homepage there's the only way to configure beagle with "--enable-webservice=yes" (or something like this). Is it possible to enable this feature in the rpm-version shipped with opensuse, or do I have to create beagle from source ??? thanks in advance....GERD....

Straw Poll: Has GNU/Linux Replaced Windows on Your Boxes?
by DC Parris 06 Dec '05

06 Dec '05

This is just a straw poll. I'd be curious to know how many people are running a pure GNU/Linux environment - SUSE or otherwise. If your job requires Windows, and you don't own the business, don't include that. Please include: <> Number of GNU/Linux boxes vs. Windows boxes (personal or SOHO use) <> Systems configured to dual-boot (only if Windows is rarely used) <> Any reasons why you still keep a Windows box or copies of Windows around <> Length of time you've been Windows-free Thanks in advance for your input.

Agere modem with Compaq R3000 and SuSE
by Phil Savoie 06 Dec '05

06 Dec '05

Hi All, I have the subject laptop with the dreaded winmodem. I understand that this modem could work if I install the 32 bit version of linux as the drivers work better with 32-bit mode than 64- bit mode. My laptop is an AMD 64. Have a couple of questions: Does anyone know how to force a 32-bit install using the SuSE 9.3 DVD? Does anyone know of a step by step way of installing the proper drivers to get it to work? You will have to be gentle as I am new at driver stuff and all. Thanks in advance for any help received, Phil

Is this a bad partitioning scheme?
by kevin.j.lisciotti＠jpmchase.com 06 Dec '05

06 Dec '05

Hi all, I have an older PII 450 with two hard drives in it. One is 8GB and the other 60GB. What I wanted to do was setup the partitions for /var and /tmp on the smaller disk and /, swap, /home etc on the larger 60GB disk. Is it a bad idea to have /var and /tmp on a seperate disk? Will this slow things down? Recommendations? Thanks!

OpenOffice 2.0 and Gnome Menus
by Birgit Kellner 06 Dec '05

06 Dec '05

Hi, the OO 2.0 beta version delivered with SuSE 9.3 had proper Gnome file selector dialogues, but was otherwise buggy. I then installed the official OO 2.0 release from the source code as soon as it was available - gone were the nice Gtk dialogues, and I was left with the (much more impractical) original dialogues. Now I updated the whole system to OpenSuSe 10.0; again, no gnome dialogues, even though the gnome-plugins for OO are installed. Any clues how I can get the Gtk dialogues back? Thanks, Birgit Kellner

NXServer Remote Problems
by Jerry Westrick 06 Dec '05

06 Dec '05

Hello List.... Situation is as Follows: This works! =========== - On my localnet, If setup NxServer (from suse dvd's) on A SUSE 9.3 Box as follows: 1) Installed packages with yast. 2) nxsetup --install --setup-nomachine-key - From my internal laptop (SUSE 10.0) I can connect to 9.3 box no problems... This don't =========== On a remote server (SUSE 10.0) I've installed nxserver (also from dvd's). I had to add the user to the "remotessh" group to allow access via ssh. I try to connect to remote server via internet: I get a successful nx remote login via ssh, then the NXClient tells me my authentication fails! my guess the problem must be the firewalls, as that is the first difference between the 2 setups. But then again I see no firewall "Deny Msgs"... I assume that NX stuff only needs ssh? The documentation seams to imply that ONLY authentication is done that way, but some of the emails on this list seams to imply that only that is used... Any help appreciated... Jerry
