Is there a way to synchronise my Outlook Calendar with my Korganizer calendar? I don't have access to the work exchange server via Linux, but I have a synchronised calendar on my laptop which I can connect to my Linux machine at home. -- Phil Burness Linux User since 1991 - currently using SuSE 9.3 Warrington - United Kingdom

[SLE] NFS file locking problem between SuSE 10 Client and 9.3 server
by Jörg Spilker 30 Dec '05

30 Dec '05

Hello, i´ve some NFS filelocking problem between my SuSE 10.0 based clients and the 9.3 based server. /home is located on the server (with SuSE 9.3 and a recent kernel (2.6.15)). The clients are equiped with SuSE 10.0 and the default 2.6.13 kernel. Applications which are using NFS filelocking on /home (examples: eclipse, skype, banshee) are not working. The server log shows the following message: Dec 19 21:35:55 daolin kernel: lockd: cannot monitor 192.168.9.10 I know now (after googling for some minutes), that the reason for the message is, that the lockd on the server cannot contact the status daemon on the client site. rpcinfo on Server/Client shows the following info: Server: Suse Linux 9.3 with Kernel 2.6.15 daolin:/var/log # rpcinfo -p daolin Program Vers Proto Port 100000 2 tcp 111 portmapper 100000 2 udp 111 portmapper 100004 2 udp 795 ypserv 100004 1 udp 795 ypserv 100004 2 tcp 798 ypserv 100004 1 tcp 798 ypserv 100007 2 udp 814 ypbind 100007 1 udp 814 ypbind 100007 2 tcp 817 ypbind 100007 1 tcp 817 ypbind 100009 1 udp 834 yppasswdd 600100069 1 udp 849 fypxfrd 600100069 1 tcp 851 fypxfrd 100011 1 udp 858 rquotad 100011 2 udp 858 rquotad 100011 1 tcp 877 rquotad 100011 2 tcp 877 rquotad 391002 2 tcp 601 sgi_fam 100003 2 udp 2049 nfs 100003 3 udp 2049 nfs 100003 4 udp 2049 nfs 100003 2 tcp 2049 nfs 100003 3 tcp 2049 nfs 100003 4 tcp 2049 nfs 100021 1 udp 2262 nlockmgr 100021 3 udp 2262 nlockmgr 100021 4 udp 2262 nlockmgr 100021 1 tcp 3171 nlockmgr 100021 3 tcp 3171 nlockmgr 100021 4 tcp 3171 nlockmgr 100005 1 udp 724 mountd 100005 1 tcp 739 mountd 100005 2 udp 724 mountd 100005 2 tcp 739 mountd 100005 3 udp 724 mountd 100005 3 tcp 739 mountd Client: Suse Linux 10.0 with Kernel 2.6.13-15-default daolin:/var/log # rpcinfo -p lotus Program Vers Proto Port 100000 2 tcp 111 portmapper 100000 2 udp 111 portmapper 391002 2 tcp 749 sgi_fam 100007 2 udp 810 ypbind 100007 1 udp 810 ypbind 100007 2 tcp 811 ypbind 100007 1 tcp 811 ypbind 100024 1 udp 32779 status 100021 1 udp 32779 nlockmgr 100021 3 udp 32779 nlockmgr 100021 4 udp 32779 nlockmgr 100024 1 tcp 32803 status 100021 1 tcp 32803 nlockmgr 100021 3 tcp 32803 nlockmgr 100021 4 tcp 32803 nlockmgr i´m not sure but i think that status is the service which the server can´t contact. There are no firewall rules active during my tests. I can telnet the tcp port for status from daolin. What looks strange for me are the high port numbers for lockmgr and status on the client. I really don´t know what is wrong. Greetings, Jörg

Here's the lpstat results from machine #2: bernd@suse:~> lpstat -t lpstat: Unable to connect to server: No route to host How can the /etc/hosts file be modified to always match? How can I print using apps aside from OOo?

Hello suse-linux-e! I have to install and use Kylix 2, but it isn't working on Suse 9.2 or 10.0. I would like to install "certified" distribution of Linux, which are recommended by Borland. * Red Hat 7.1 * SuSE 7.2 * Mandrake 8.0 Where can I find these distributions for download? Thanks a lot. -- Best regards, TRoland http://www.rotursoft.sk http://exekutor.rotursoft.sk

suse 9.3 / postfix / multiple domains
by RutePoint 29 Dec '05

29 Dec '05

Hello, sorry for posting this topic prior to scanning the mail archives for im short on time since i was given only 2 days to host my domains elsewhere :P im currently running suse 9.3 with which im very happy. now for starters i need to configure postfix so that it would work in the following order: my server name is: e.g. smtp.mydomain.com receive mail for multiple domains. e.g. myserver.mydomain.com mydomain.com myhouse.com mycar.com mybike.com i have only few users so i am not in need of a heavy setup such as using db as a backend etc. i simply want to remap addresses the following way. i want to have multiple aliases for the users forwarding to the system local account (yes i will be creating separate accounts on the system for different users) donald(a)myhouse.com -> donald(a)mydomain.com donald(a)mycar.com -> donald(a)mydomain.com donald(a)mybike.com -> donald(a)mydomain.com donald.duck(a)mybike.com -> donald(a)mydomain.com duck.donald(a)mybike.com -> donald(a)mydomain.com outgoing mail should appear as donald.duck(a)mycar.com later on i will be adding amavis and spamassin, but on this short notice i would be very happy to get mail comming in without bouncing. so in short, can you guys give a step by step guide on what i need to do? regards RutePoint PS: my dns is all setup and ready and the local shell accounts have been allready created -- ___________________________ If computers were made in heaven, would they be perfect? ___________________________

wine package dating
by mikus＠bga.com 29 Dec '05

29 Dec '05

A new package 'wine' showed up in the fwdg WINE apt-repository very recently. I presume it is the latest and greatest. Yet the package managers identify _July's_ package 'wine' as listed in the BASE apt-repository as "the version which updates all others". Methinks the BASE apt-repository 'wine' package is mis-dated. mikus

PDF - FireFox question
by russbucket 29 Dec '05

29 Dec '05

Using SuSE10.0 Retail version from Novell, FireFox 1.5. PDFs Documents only show grey screen. Following Jerry Feldmans procedure I do not find a plugin folder in /opt/MozillaFireFox folder. I find the following: nppdf.so usr/lib/browser-plugins/ Symbolic link usr/lib/firefox/plugins Symbolic Link /usr/X11R6/lib/Acrobat7/Browser/intellinux file Do I remove both the symbolic links? Also running the plugin install script says it cannot find nppdf.so. Do I need to run the script as root? I assume the howto file wants me to use /opt/ MozillaFirefox/lib as the install path. Thanks for any pointers in advance. -- Russ

nVIDIA 6200oc board help
by Steve Lett 29 Dec '05

29 Dec '05

Hi all, I'm pretty much stumped. Can't get my Christmas present to work yet... sniff, sniff, ;-) Can't get the nVIDIA driver NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5336-pkg1.run installed. Downloaded it from the nVIDIA site directly. Have followed instructions PAINFULLY to the letter in a mad attempt to get this thing working and have yet no success after 3 days. I just reinstalled the entire system from .iso in the last 3 days and have been recreating it from scratch for a variety of reasons, but it's pretty snappy and clean right now. Therefore I wanted to install this driver to get the new video card working fully. I had sound problems just after installing the video card, but since reinstalling everything, all that is fixed, Kaffeiene / libdvdcss2 / etc. all updated and all audio, DVD, mp3, sound, etc. working fine. well... except the slow choppy video which is the reason I pursued a new video card to start with. I'm plugged into the new vidcard now and it seems working, I do see some significant improvements, but I'm sure it's gotta be a huge difference with the right driver installed... I have -according to YaST- kernel version 2.6.8-24.10 installed now. I have purposely NOT downloaded patches to the kernel as I've heard that this can be problematic as well. I just want to take one thing at a time. But as I understand it, if I DO end up with a kernel update then I'll have to install the nVIDIA driver again too as it's tied to the kernel versions. Does that sound right? But so far I've been fiddling with this installation routine for days and I think I understand WHAT it cannot find but I don't understand HOW to make it find specifically the files it wants and that I am sure are already there in these paths: /usr/src/linux-2.6.8-24.10/include/linux/ /usr/src/linux/include/linux /lib/modules/2.6.8-24.10-default/build/include/linux These are all paths were there are kernel.h files and/or linux kernel, sources, etc. Here is the error log from the failed installation process. ****************************************** nvidia-installer log file '/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' creation time: Wed Dec 28 23:19:15 2005 option status: license pre-accepted: false update: false force update: false expert: false uninstall: false driver info: false no precompiled interface: false no ncurses color: false query latest driver ver: false OpenGL header files: false no questions: false silent: false XFree86 install prefix: /usr/X11R6 OpenGL install prefix: /usr Installer install prefix: /usr kernel source path: (not specified) kernel install path: (not specified) proc mount point: /proc ui: (not specified) tmpdir: /tmp ftp site: ftp://download.nvidia.com Using: nvidia-installer ncurses user interface -> License accepted. -> No precompiled kernel interface was found to match your kernel; would you like the installer to attempt to download a kernel interface for your kernel from the NVIDIA ftp site (ftp://download.nvidia.com)?

I'm sure its a modification of the routine I do at the command prompt to make this thing start, but no idea what the magic words are. Aren't kernel source path and kernel install path gonna be the same path name? How do I know just what path the variable is supposed to point to? What I'm doing to generate the log file is this: linux:~ # sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5336-pkg1.run from a command line after I init 3 out of the gui. Anybody know how to make it find the files it wants to find when I try to run this installer routine? Oh, I'm running 9.2Professional if it matters. Thanks!
