Re: [SLE] Xine and DVD

What flat out po's me is there is a legal player for Linux, Linvideo! But they have only sold it to embedded developers, let TurboLinux install it with one of thier Linux versions, and with Suse supposably, but only on that HP (5000nx, I believe) laptop. When contacting them to see about buying it (listed years ago in a Linux magazine that they were going to sell it for 29.95) they said they weren't going that route. You don't want people decrypting your scheme for thier own private use, give us a *^&%^%$ legal method! In dvd John's country, it isn't even considered a trade secret anymore because of it being broken and published and that countries fair use restrictions. Never happen as the dvd consortium is suing someone who has all the licenses for his product, because they don't like his product. > Hello List! > > I am using SuSE 9.1 Pro and found the following warning: > "This version of xine lacks support for playing DVD discs > for legal reasons."

Newbie Cyrus SASL Question
by L. Mark Stone 24 Feb '05

24 Feb '05

First time setting this up, so I'm trying to get my arms around this... SLES9, already successfully running Postfix, amavis, clamav, spamassassin, Cyrus and Squirrelmail. So far, all mail users have a UNIX account in LDAP. I'd like to set up mail users so that they don't have a UNIX account. I've tried to configure SASL, but it is not working. Can some kind soul show me the error of my ways? Here's what I've done (after checking that saslauthd was indeed running...) 1. Added to /etc/imapd.conf "sasl_pwcheck_method = saslauthd" (without quotes of course...) 2. Ran as root: saslpasswd2 -c testuser and gave the account a password. 3. Ran as root cyradm to create a new mailbox for testuser and gave the cyrus user ACL rights = lrswipcda (running listacl from the cryadm prompt shows testuser also has these ACL rights). 3a. Reboot. 4. Opened a browser window, got to the Squirrelmail login window and tried to log in, while running tail -f /var/log/messages in another window. 5. /var/log/messages shows the following: Feb 24 14:33:54 inside PAM-warn[4122]: function=[pam_sm_authenticate] service=[imap] terminal=[<unknown>] user=[testuser] ruser=[<unknown>] rhost=[<unknown>] Feb 24 14:33:54 inside saslauthd[4122]: DEBUG: auth_pam: pam_authenticate failed: User not known to the underlying authentication module Feb 24 14:33:54 inside saslauthd[4122]: do_auth : auth failure: [user=testuser] [service=imap] [realm=] [mech=pam] [reason=PAM auth error] Feb 24 14:33:54 inside imap[30088]: badlogin: localhost [127.0.0.1] plaintext trouble SASL(-13): authentication failure: checkpass failed Looks like I need to tweak PAM somehow? There is no smtp file in /etc/pam.d, which I saw on some other list postings. Thanks! Mark -- _________________________________________________________ A Message From... L.

By the way, if you need to make the change without using Yast, what script would you modify? Thank you again for all of your help. Best Regards, James

Hello James, Tried both and the nfs mounts are not mounted after a reboot. However, immediately after logging in a "mount -a" mounts all the nfs mounts. There must be a place other than "boot.local" to put a command that will mount the nfs mounts. Maybe the issue is the sequence that init.d commands are initiated. Is there a way to make nfs run last? Thank you, James

adminguide PDF
by Benjamin Hornberger 24 Feb '05

24 Feb '05

Hi all, I thought there was a PDF version of the SUSE admin guide somewhere installed, but I can't seem to find it. I have the package suselinux-adminguide-9.2-4 installed, and I found the HTML version. This is SUSE 9.2 Pro. Any hints? Thanks, Benjamin

recovering data of window partition erase by suse installation
by g.lams＠itcilo.org 24 Feb '05

24 Feb '05

Hi all One of my colleague wanted to install SuSe 9.2 as a dual boot to his WinXP system (I did it myself on my last 2 laptops without any problem). He said that he choosed to minimize the fat partition in the setup but at the boot only SuSe was indicated. I just had a look at his partition table, to see that there are only 2 partitions, swap and /. I know of utilities to recover the data for Windows but what about some for Linux? thanks Gaël

Error23: Error while parsing number
by Constant Brouerius van Nidek 24 Feb '05

24 Feb '05

Having worked some on the grub configuration with Yast I must have changed something. On my hda1 I have drdos which I can not enter anymore. After choosing drdos in the grub menue I get above error. Cannot find what it means and have no solution for a solution. Google found this but that did not help much. Error while parsing number This error is returned if GRUB was expecting to read a number and encountered bad data Any ideas?

Disable suseplugger + susewatcher
by Carsten Oberscheid 24 Feb '05

24 Feb '05

Hello everybody, I am running Suse 9.2 with gnome 2.6. After upgrading from 9.1/2.4 susewatcher and suseplugger appeared in my panel. I told them not to start automatically, using their respective configuration windows, but they still do. Both ~/.kde/share/config/susepluggerrc and susewatcherrc contain "Autostart=false" in the "General" section. Anyway, suseplugger's configuration window always activates the "Start automatically" check box, susewatcher's configuration window does not. And both keep starting when I launch gnome. Sometimes one of them is missing, but next time both are back. Why? How can I disable them for sure? All I found via Google was "Delete /usr/local/kde3/share/autostart/suseplugger.desktop", but shouldn't I be able to this as user via my local configuration? Is there something broken, or do I miss something? Thanks in advance for any hints .co.

Konsole errors after OOo update
by Hylton Conacher (ZR1HPC) 24 Feb '05

24 Feb '05

Hi, Recently updated OOo on my SuSE 9.0 system from 1.1.0 to 1.1.3. Everything has been just fine, to my limited knowledge except in the following scenario: Just before I am to shutdown the machine for the night, I log out of KDE as a user and login as root. I mount the HDD to be used as my backup destination, and delete the old /home from it using Konqueror. Then I open Konsole and whatever I do (normally it is the command of 'cp -a /home /backupHDD/home') there works fine but the Konsole window on KDE CANNOT be closed, although I have not tried killing the process via top from the Alt-F2 console. The only way to get some sort of decent behaviour out of the system is to log out, or failing that Alt-F2 and reboot/shutdown. What could be affecting this as the OOo update was done, satisfying allot of dependencies, with Yast? How can I repair it, preferably without reverting back to OOo 1.1.0 or forward to OOo 1.1.4? to -- ======================================================================== Hylton Conacher - Linux user # 229959 at http://counter.li.org Currently using SuSE 9.0 Professional with KDE 3.1 ========================================================================
