I've had pretty decent luck with SuSE 9.3 and 10.0 automatically detecting my wireless adapters (Linksys WMP54G & WUSB11 v2.6.) Just drop/plug it in. If it's integrated you're probably already good to go. For scanning for and connecting to wireless networks, I would recommend using the KInternet tool. You can install it using Yast. You may need to manually make a shortcut after installation though. -Garret >>> Maura Edeweiss Monville <memonvil(a)artsci.wustl.edu> 12/06/05 10:51 AM >>> Since I got my new laptop, running SuSE 9.3, I had no chance to try the wireless connection.

Outgoing faxing
by Paul W. Abrahams 08 Dec '05

08 Dec '05

I have two kinds of questions about how to send faxes under SuSE Linux 10.0. First, there seem to be two competing and incompatible packages: sendfax and hylafax. How should one choose between them? Second, I'm having some difficulty locating appropriate hardware. The very common PCTel winmodems aren't supported under the 2.6 kernel. External modems avoid the driver problems but are a pain to deal with. Does anyone have some reasonably-priced PCI modems to recommend? I need the modem only for faxing, since I have cable Internet service. Paul

PC running (SuSE 8.2 Pro / WinME) bootloader lilo -> grub
by Mick Higgins 08 Dec '05

08 Dec '05

Hi List, I have belatedly made the change from lilo to grub carefully converting my lilo config to grub'ese. It seems to work as expected. However, I have a couple of questions which I cannot track down in any off-line source (man, info, howto's etc.) and I am not able to trawl google or list archive with a time-limited unmetered dial-up connection at present. 1. In lilo I always used the boot-floppy option so as not to upset WinME. How do I do something similar in grub? 2. When the bootloader menu appeared in lilo I could interactively overide the default runlevel (ie: boot to runlevel 3 not 5) when necessary. How is this achieved in the grub menu? I will accept a URL to the appropriate list archive entry or web page. Apologies if this has been dealt with before. -- ** Message sent via KDE KMail v1.7.2 on SuSE Linux v8.2 ** Please reply in the format that this message is sent. ** Thanks.

GDB- doesn't stop in constructors?
by anuradha.vembu＠wipro.com 08 Dec '05

08 Dec '05

Hi, I am trying to debug my application using gdb. When I try to put a breakpoint in a constructor, it says no such function. When I apply breakpoint in the particular line number, the breakpoint gets set. When I run the application, it should stop in that breakpoint before any execution; but it does not do. So my doubt is, does gdb display when breakpoints are put in the constructor? Please suggest me a way by which I would ensure that all the constructors (objects) are initialized before I run the application. Thanks in advance.

mencoder dvds ripped won't play in windows
by Chadley Wilson 08 Dec '05

08 Dec '05

Greetings, I am just curious, what codecs do I need to play back dvds ripped with mencoder, and where do I get them.. Windows media player says it can't locate a suitable codec for play back. I assume there is something fishy with the way I rip the dvd, it does play fine in kaffiene. Here is the command I use...(line probably wrapped) mencoder dvd:// -dvd-device /dev/cdrecorder -o movie.avi -oac copy -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=1800 Any clues will be greatly appreciated...

multimedia problem: suse 10.0 i386 vs x86_64
by Istvan Gabor 08 Dec '05

08 Dec '05

Hello all: Currently I am running SUSE 10.0 x86_64. However to be able to play certain wmv files the i686 and i586 versions are installed of the following packages: MPlayer-1. 0pre7-pm.3, mad-0.15.1b-1.pm.0, lame-3.96.1-pm.1, w32codec-all-20050412-0.pm.0 Now I'd like to install audacity, but I get dependency error "audacity requires libmad.so.0()(64bit)". If I ignore this dependency conflict and install audacity it does not start: "audacity: error while loading shared libraries: libmad.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" I also tried to install the i586 version of audacity but I got so many dependency errors that I did not dare to ignore them. So I don't know what to do. Is this a catch 22? Thanks, IG ________________________________________________________________________________ Elég sikeres?

NHS deal to use SUSE
by Dave Howorth 08 Dec '05

08 Dec '05

I just saw news of an agreement between the UK's National Health Service (NHS) and Novell. http://www.informatics.nhs.uk/cgi-bin/item.cgi?id=1617&d=11&h=24&f=46&datef… The most interesting bit was this: The agreement with Novell will allow all NHS organisations and suppliers to maximise the value of their solutions, for products that are available either today or in the future. It will also support the current installed Novell user base at the desktop and give NHS IT departments and their suppliers the opportunity to evaluate and use Novell’s SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES), which can reduce the total cost of ownership of running both clinical and non-clinical applications by and for the NHS. Go SUSE! Dave

Installing SuSE 10.0 from Network - 60MB ISO
by Rui Santos 08 Dec '05

08 Dec '05

Hi, I've bought SuSE 9.3 a while ago. Within CD1 or DVD1, on the boot directory, there was a file called 'boot.iso' with just bellow 60MB, that one could burn onto a CD to make any kind of network install. I can't see such a file on SuSE10.0 on the SuSE ftp site... Is it included only on the Retail version? Is it included at all?

XMMS broken again!
by BandiPat 07 Dec '05

Hi all, Well, if you have updated some Gnome files recently, then you might have noticed that XMMS is again broken, but this time I can't get it to start at all. This is the error, when starting from a shell. Gdk-ERROR **: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) serial 263 error_code 8 request_code 2 minor_code 0 Not really sure what this is all about, it's quite an odd response. Maybe it's an XMMS error or one that the SUSE guys can repair, but certainly it seems that it won't be running until someone fixes it!

wvdial rights/logging
by pelibali 07 Dec '05

07 Dec '05

Hi, Previously I used exclusively the smpppd/kinternet combo, but now for a workstation having no X I configured wvdial, which works well. I saw, that the original access rights for its config-file are: triznya:/etc # ls -l wvdial.conf -rw-r----- 1 root dialout 328 Dec 5 21:36 wvdial.conf so in fact users being in the dialout group can read that file and have the chance to check e.g. the password written into it. Is this correct and would be another known way to save the password, but in the same time hide it somehow from the users? Another question, concerning wvdial, that I found no option where I could tell, that the dialing statistic/messages should go into a log file, not to stdin. Is there anyone out there having a working wvdial- logging setup?! I would guess, that if I redirect all output of the program into a file, I would lose the interactivity in its control... Thank you, Pelibali

Help with dd_rescue
by david rankin 07 Dec '05

07 Dec '05

Mates, I am faced with having to use dd_rescue for the first time. I had built a new server with a pair of Maxtor 250 gig drives w/8M cache. hda started throwing badblock messages one night after a short 2 month life. I have run badblocks and there are about 430 bad blocks on the drive. I have purchased another 250G drive to image the failing drive to. As I understand the process, I will have to install the new drive, boot with the rescue disk and then copy the image from the failing drive to the new drive using: dd_rescue -B 1b -b 8M -A -v -l rescue.log /dev/hda /hdd1/rescue.img After the image is created, I will have to remove the bad drive (hda), install a second new 250G drive as hda and then write the image back to the drive using dd_rescue -B 1b -b 8M -A -v -l rescue.log /hdd1/rescue.img /dev/hda After writing the image back we will attempt a reiserfschk to make sure all is well. Two questions: (1) if this all works, how much confidence can I have that the new drive will not be missing critical data from the bad blocks on the original drive. (2) what about dd_rhelp? Should I use that instead of dd_rescue to try and speed up the process? Any thoughts would be appreciated. -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.

Request for Codenames for SUSE Linux 10.1, 10.2
by Andreas Jaeger 07 Dec '05

07 Dec '05

During the 10.0 beta phase we had the theme "Towns of Development teams" and used these for Codenames like Prague, Boston etc. 10.1 Alpha1 was named "Auckland" under the same theme. For the future, I'd like to open the discussion on what we do. I propose the following policy: * We only use one Codename for the whole release, e.g. for the whole 10.1 release cycle, no codenames for snapshots or betas. * We have a theme that we can use for all our codenames, so the 10.1 and 10.2 codenames have the same theme. * A codename should be able to be visualized. I'd like to have e.g. a different photo on the grub boot screen for each Alpha/Beta etc. - all under the same codename. So, there should be different ways to visualize the object that are interesting and we can easily get say ten variations. What do you think of this? So, let's open a competition: Send your proposals for a theme together with some examples for codenames and how they can be visualized. An example: Theme: "Towns of Development Teams" Codenames: Prague, Boston, Nuernberg,... Visualization: Photo of a place in the town. I've created a wiki page for this, please add your proposals there, it is: http://www.opensuse.org/CodenameCompetition I'd like to choose 5 out of the proposals and then let's vote for the Codenames. Let's collect codenames for the next 7 days (until end of 2005-11-20) and then vote on them.

Many other volunteers are adding its systems to pool.ntp.org http://www.pool.ntp.org/ I think that to provide at least two or three stratum-1 servers (North America, Europe, Australia ...) will be not dificult to Nowell.

SSI problem with apache2-mod_php4 4.3.4-43.46.3
by Aidin Alihodzic 07 Dec '05

07 Dec '05

After update of apache and php packages on SuSE 9.1 Pro (patches from November 22nd, 2005) I noticed some problem but don't know if it is a bug or "feature". ;) We have several sites that use SSI (server side includes) technology and those shtml pages are including php scripts. It worked until the upgrade when apache children started to segfault each time someone tries to open such page. I made simple test with two files first is shtml that contains single line which calls php script and apache does segfault every time I try to open it. <start index.shtml>  </end index.shtml> <start test.php> <?php echo "blah"; ?> </end test.php> #tail /var/log/apache2/error_log [Wed Dec 07 10:43:07 2005] [notice] child pid 9371 exit signal Segmentation fault (11) [Wed Dec 07 10:48:45 2005] [notice] child pid 10191 exit signal Segmentation fault (11) [Wed Dec 07 10:53:05 2005] [notice] child pid 10002 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)

Please refresh me
by B. Stia 07 Dec '05

07 Dec '05

Hello SuSE people, I've done this more than once, but it completely escapes me at this time. Was trying to satisfy some dependencies for an rpm build. I need a file called rpmmodule.so I know that it is in some rpm package which must be installed. I thought "pin" would reveal the package name for me. Evidently not. Would somebody please refresh me for the command that will reveal the package that is needed so I can install it? Promise that I will keep it someplace where I can find it next time. (Hopefully) Bob S.

KMail gone mad
by Glenn Holmer 07 Dec '05

07 Dec '05

My main system was down for a while with a fried motherboard, and in the mean time I was accessing mail from a secondary box (also using KMail), with the setting "leave fetched messages on the server" selected (I don't run my own mail server, but read from my ISP's POP server). When I got my machine back together again and fired up KMail for the first time, there was naturally a huge pile of mail to download... but every time since, I'm still getting all that mail downloaded again! How do I get out of this, I'm drowning in e-mail! -- ====================================================== Glenn Holmer (Linux registered user #16682) ====================================================== "Just don't panic and calm down.

Misstyped address under Kmail.
by pelibali 06 Dec '05

06 Dec '05

Hi, Few weeks ago I misstyped an e-mail address while composing a message and from that timepoint Kmail annoys me with this wrong variant. e.g. if I attempt to compose a new mail to this person and start to type the corresponding address, Kmail displays the corrupted one as "suggestion". I seeked for files containing this wrong address in both /home/me/ and /tmp/, but couldn't identify any. So in fact have no idea, how Kmail could remember... Please anyone does know the trick, how to get Kmail really forgetting about it?! Thank you, Pelibali

Re: [SLE] Changing Installation Source brings to filesystem crash
by Lonn 06 Dec '05

06 Dec '05

Sergey's message was in HTML format, so go to =========== below for response To: lonn(a)lonnd.com Subject: Re: [SLE] Changing Installation Source brings to filesystem crash Here what I found from 'cfdisk': hda1 Boot Primary W95 FAT32 (LBA) 9434.40 hda5 Logical W95 FAT32 19518.59 hda6 Logical Linux ReiserFS 10018.40 hda7 Logical Linux swap / Solaris 1044.62 I have two disks C: and D: in my Windows XP, that seem to be hda1 and hda5 (I have also checked it when was mounting them). They were nearly full(I even was getting a warning message each time I was entering the YaST). Now I cleared them so my C: now have about 1Gb free space and my D: now have about 2.5Gb free space. My Linux is on hda6 which is 9.3Gb as it shows from hda6's properties(now without copying the DVD it has 6.7 Gb free space) and I have a swap space which is about 1Gb. What about working till late...yes, I am on my last year in University(getting my B.S. soon) and this summer I am getting my diploma in Physics. Now I am working on some article (which means I had to stay at University till late evening) and besides it's a hot period of intermediate exams for me. So the only time for me to work is nights. But I was not thinking that it can be felt from my posts...seems it is only you who haven't annoyed from me! I was working at Open Source firm, where I was doing mostly Java and JSP. That was the place where I inspired to learn Linux. But it is very new for me, maybe I should learn some more about linux and only then start posting my problems. I don't know... Thank you for your wish to help me, I highly appreciate it. Best, Sergey Mkrtchyan. ======================== Your message to me was HTML format, so makes it difficult to properly manage it and send it to the list. But above is best I could do, hurriedly. The believe the list is for learning, helping, sharing development issues, etc. I don't believe you are [OT] by any stretch of the imagination. Maybe you have a tough go in explaining your situation because you don't know what others might need to know to get a focus on possibilities for recovery. I see some new information. Your recovery says your Linux partition is full. You cannot operate with a full file system. And - if that partition is corrupt (more likely "full") how can you copy anything into it? So the file system must be alright, but I haven't any idea what the result might be of copying the distro into your Linux partition. It is strange that recovery says 6.7 GB is free and disk magic says "full." Can you resolve that - explain it? Are all of your partitions ACTIVE? Do you have two hard disks or is D: a logical disk? Altogether do you have about a 40 GB disk? It seems all of your Linux is in one partition, except for swap. You will find a better way someday, as each partition may be treated separately in recovery and mount. Having all in one partition is not the best way to operate. I think you can "defrag" XP when it is on FAT32. So "defrag" your XP and see how much of it is unused. Then you may find that you have recoverable space that could be used for a fresh Linux OS. If you use disk magic without understanding where you are going, "all" can be lost. Does disk magic have a "resize" program to resize or shrink a partition? Maybe a third party prog is needed. Can find some assistance from a colleague at your workplace. That is highly recommended, as any partition changes can be *fatal* if done incorrectly. Your objective is to have room for an install that does not use any of the space of the crashed Linux. In that regard, maybe you cannot do an autoinstall, but must customize a bit. GRUB must be configured to look for the "new" Linux OS, else it will continue to find the old one and the "16" error. It is possible that the error is in GRUB and not in the file system - but chance is only slight. You can clean up the older Linux, later, after thorough investigation. Tell me, do you or others spot errors in this thinking that may prevent a fresh install on different partitions. Particularly, I don't recall if XP has "defrag" because XP can be installed on NTFS, which MS does not defrag so maybe defrag is not in your XP, so maybe you will need a third party defrag program.

rt2500 wlan on SUSE 10.0.42 (alpha3)
by Jan van Kollenburg 06 Dec '05

06 Dec '05

I could not get my rt2500 compatible wlan card detected by SUSE10 release version plus that it failed to install GRUB or LILO, so I switched to the development version (alpha3). This one does install correctly, but still the wlan card is not detected. It should be precompiled in the kernel, so it should work anyway. When I had installed Ubuntu 5.10 it did see the card immediately (just had to activate it) so I am sure that the card is correctly plugged in the PCI port (port 4 in my case). Any ideas?

Changing Installation Source brings to filesystem crash
by Sergey Mkrtchyan 06 Dec '05

06 Dec '05

Hi all! I have installed SuSE 10 from DVD. Since I haven't got my own DVD Rom, I brought it from my friend and installed succesfully. Then when I want to install nearly everything rpm, it asks me for the SuSE 10 DVD. Since at that time my friend is already gone with his DVD Rom, I don't know what to do. I copied that DVD to my hard and changed Installation Source from YaST to my local directory (previously removing the source concerning the DVD Disk). When trying to install something "rpm" it gives something like "some error with some package", but when I enter the same DVD (which i copied to my hard and from hard version of which he doesn't want to install anything) it goes excellent. After restarting computer my SuSE don't want to load. And it behaves in different ways: one time it continuously restarts, another time it just gives me an Error 16 in GRUB (I have already installed SuSE today for four times). I guess that was the reason of the problem I described in another thread "Grub Suddenly Crashed", because it came to that after I copied that disk to my hard. Can anyone help? How to use a local copy of that DVD? Just not to get my friend's DVD Rom each time I want to install something. Regards, Sergey Mkrtchyan

SUSE93 - KDE gone?

I've been running SUSE93 on a machine for about 4-5 weeks. This morning I booted up to a grey login screen instead of the familiar green one. After login, the system appears to be using a very rudimentary window manager. I've only ever used KDE. I can manage to start an X-term window, but don't have a clue how to proceed from there. How do I get KDE back?

Remote Desktop trouble in SuSE 10.0?
by Marc Chamberlin 06 Dec '05

06 Dec '05

I am running a small network of various computers and want to be able to configure each of them so that I can administer them remotely via remote desktop (aka VNC) The way I have been doing this is to assign each computer its own port for its server to listen on, so Comp A is listening on 5900, Comp B is listening on 5901, etc. I use the SuSE Control Center to configure the remote desktop server on each computer, and start the server via the inetd daemon. I have configured my SuSE firewall computer to route incoming requests to the appropriate computer. In the past all this has worked fine. I recently upgraded one of my computers, a laptop, to SuSE 10.0. and tried to configure it to accept incoming requests on a port other than port 0 - 5900 (for example port 1 - 5901) and have failed. The only port I can get the remote desktop to work with is port 0 - 5900. If I assign it any other port, other than 5900, and then try to connect to it with a viewer, I do not get the authentication process (i.e. the request for a password) to occur and the viewer will open up with a blank (grayed out) screen and then hangs. As I stated however, if I assign the server 5900, the base address of ports, everything works fine, I do get the request for the password and the viewer does open up correctly with a display of the desktop of the remote computer. For the moment I am able to get around this by routing through the firewall and redirecting incoming requests to port 0 - 5900 on the appropriate computer but this requires I assign every computer a static address and not use my internal DHCP server, not what I want to do in the long run.... Is anyone else having troubles with the remote desktop in SuSE 10.0, with the server configured to use a port other than 0 - 5900? Did something break? Marc.....

How to trigger yp update
by Chiu, PCM (Peter) 06 Dec '05

06 Dec '05

I have a yp master on a 9.3 box (machine M), and a yp slave server on a 9.2 box (machine S). A normal user log on yet another 9.2 box using a NIS account (machine C). If he then uses yppasswd to change his password on machine C, he can use the new password to log on M and S, but not on C. He has to use the old password to log on machine C. On M, there is a entry in /var/log/messages saying rpc.ypasswdd: update user (uid=25010) from host ip_address_of_c successful. Did try to restart ypbind on C using the root account, but not helping. Also restarted ypserv on S, not helping neither. Does anyone know how to trigger an yp update?

Apache2 and SSL
by Jim Flanagan 06 Dec '05

06 Dec '05

Hi all, I'm trying to get apache2 running with ssl on Suse 10.0. Apache runs fine on http, but https on port 443 is a problem. Following the instructions in /usr/share/doc/packages/apache2/README.QUICKSTART.SSL, in Yast>system>etc/sysconfig editor I added "ssl" to APACHE_MODULES, and "SSL" to APACHE_SERVER_FLAGS. This still does not work. I went to yast>network services>http server configuration, and added listen to port 443 (on all addresses). It was already set to listen to all addresses on port 80 by default. This change produces an error in yast saying that the system could not adjust 'apache 2' service. Apache 2 is not running after this error. Deleting listen on port 443 produces a running apache2 again, but still not on ssl. For some reason yast put listen 443 above listen 80, if this is relevant. I did not specifiy an IP address, I selected all addresses, however as I write this, this sounds not too safe. There is only one ethernet card in this box. I have not made new certs yet, relying on the installed "snakeoil" certs for testing. Below is an excerpt of apache2 logs. The times when "caught SIGTERM" is references is when I had set listen to port 443. The times referencing resuming normal operations is when I deleted listen on port 443. I'm not sure what favicon.ico is referencing, or why its missing. Any help is most welcome.

Is there some trick to getting sound from a powerpoint presentation in OpenOffice? the HELP says to click on the slide and select PLAY, but I can't find anything to click, and the slide show is silent. SUSE 10.0 and KDE 3.5 with OO beta 2.0 -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800

Distorted display upon shutdown
by Shriramana Sharma 06 Dec '05

http://h1.ripway.com/samvit/temp/bug-suse-shutdown.jpg gives you an idea of what I see when I shutdown my SUSE session. Though this does not affect my system in any performance-related way, I would like to iron out this bug which has been bothering me ever since SUSE 10 RC 1. Does anyone have any ideas? I have no problem with the graphics during startup or the working session. -- Penguin #395953 resides at http://samvit.org subsisting on SUSE Linux 10.0 with KDE 3.5
