FTP with KBEAR
by Russ 01 Mar '05

01 Mar '05

I presently run SuSE 9.1 with KDE 3.2.2.level "a" When I am having a problem with KBEAR (FTP) if I transfer a .jpg to the webserver they will not display. If I copy the jpg to Windows (yak) and use WSFTP they work. This just started happening recently. Checking the permissions show they are the same if I use kbear or WSftp. Only message I see in Kbear that I do not seein in WSFTP is kbear tries the following: 250 CWD command successful. type A 200 Type set to A. EPSV 500 EPSV not understood. PASV 227 Entering Passive Mode (216,40,195,82,11,76). list -a 150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for file list 226 Transfer complete. I do not see that EPSV message in WSftp it starts in passive mode. I use the icon to provide a link to another site. The file does transfer. If I put my cursor over the area where the jpg should be I can click I can link to the site. I tryed looking at the SuSE update site but it says I have the latest versions of KDE. Can anyone give me an idea what to look at. I will be tring a manual update from the console or Konqueror. The linux browser I've tryed are Konqueror and Mozilla. Both exhibit the same issue until I transfer the jpg with WSftp from Windows. -- Russ

Help with finding lib modules
by ka1ifq 01 Mar '05

01 Mar '05

Hello all, I just dl'd a package called Directory Administrator that I found on Freshmeat. When I went to install there were unresolved dependancies so I searched for them on the Suse Install and Source Dvd's and could not find them. The files / modules are libcrypto.so.4 and libssl.so.4 . Where would I look to find these? Thanks Mike

Red Carpet vs. SuSE Pro 9.2
by Gordon Keehn 28 Feb '05

28 Feb '05

I was using Red Carpet to maintain my workstation running SuSE Pro 9.1. That box died (motherboard toasted) and I'm getting ready to install 9.2 on a new box, but I can't find any information on an appropriate version of Red Carpet. If I go by what I found via Google, Red Carpet is now only available as part of several commercial (i.e. I have to shell out some more of my hard-earned cash) offerings. Is there a (free) source of Red Carpet for SuSE Pro 9.2? Cheers, Gordon Keehn

Is there a way to find out the provenance of particular apt rpms listed in Synaptic, ie which repository they are located in, the web address to reach them outside apt, and so on? -- Pob hwyl / Best wishes Kevin Donnelly www.kyfieithu.co.uk - Meddalwedd Rhydd yn Gymraeg www.cymrux.org.uk - Linux Cymraeg ar un CD!

Smartlink modem
by contiemilio＠virgilio.it 28 Feb '05

28 Feb '05

Hello all I don't know if this topic has been already treated (in that case, don't kill me ;-)) I installed SuSE 9.1 on my notebook. During the installation yast detected the internal modem and installed smartlink package. Well, if I query the modem (kppp) it answers, but when I try a connection this fails with NO DIALTONE message. Obviously that modem works fine under XP. Ciao emilio

Enterprise solution with handheld(s)
by Brad Bourn 28 Feb '05

28 Feb '05

Hey all, An opportunity has come up for me to pitch an opensource solution. I'd like any advice I can get. Here is my situation. <background> My primary responsibility is programming. I maintain the computers/network for the admin side of the building in my spare time. We have a SuSE 8.2 Pro box running qmail and internal php/mysql app. We have an NT4 Server for Domain authentication and Shared Drive. The president of the company uses a laptop and palm to do most of his business. When on the road, he'll use his dialup account to a local provider here to access his email because it is too complicated to lookup and provide a local number. He is wanting to get rid of his palm because he gets duplicate entry's when his secretary's sync to their computers to keep his schedule with Outlook. He had bought a CE device at one time but ended up not using it because it was too complicated. </background> After talking with him this morning, and finding out that he is wanting a different Palm device (has 5's now) because of duplication. My fist thought was to enable some sort of collaboration ~server/software~ to keep his schedule and docs in sync with his secretary's. Isn't there an Enterprise server from SuSE that does collaboration? We have wireless (802.11) here and there is mostly WiFi available when he travels. Is there a handheld that is Linux based that would work with Maildir format mail client? Is there a handheld that is Linux based that would run Crossover Office? Is there a handheld that is Linux based that would sync with SuSE's collaboration offering of Calendar, Email, and Contacts? Thanks in advance B-)

Hello, I'm trying to recompile my kernel a get the following error when running the 'make dep' : make[2]: *** No rule to make target `/usr/src/linux-2.4.21-273/include/linux/autoconf.h', needed by `/usr/src/linux-2.4.21-273/include/linux/modules/signal.ver'. Stop I've successfully installed the kernel-source package but the file /usr/src/linux-2.4.21-273/include/linux/modules/signal.ver is missing. I've run the 'make mrproper' and make menuconfig to create my own configuration. Does somebody if there is someting special to do on suse distrib before recompiling the kernel ?? Thanks in advance. -- Cordialement, Best Regards, Jean-Christophe VALIERE jcvaliere(a)unog.ch
