CNN: Linux Created Blockbusters Troy & Alexander!! ================================================== Some wounder if the Penguins are g ay or not recently in a German zoo, when some males ignored females at risk of wiping out its own very species.. But this is a far better story on CNNi about the likely most famous digital Penguin Of Linux. The London motion picture company did the animation of filmhits like Troy & Alexander and praises its 1 year old switch to the open source project without remorse as it drastically boosted the F/X department in computer animated film sequences even to their amazement!! And SuSe linked to NOVELL now, sooner than rather later there ain't gonna be much space left for this Penguin in Bill Gates old garage :) (EVOLUTION OF REVOLUTION) "FC" Kolumne@ FussballChip(a)hefleswetzkick.de (Der FussballC.H.I.P) PS: Micro-soft was also given a chance to speak up and they of course play it down, yet the last resort to still heavily be overrun is the desktop private owner business as Linux more and more appears with one face there now on top of its vast variety of diverse computing power..

Openssl certificate parameters
by James Knott 27 Feb '05

27 Feb '05

I run an imap server, which requires me to create a new ssl certificate, every few weeks. Is there any way to set it for a longer life? Or is there a method of passing the parameters to openssl for creating the certificate, so that I don't have to re-enter the info? Currently, I use the command "openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -out imapd.pem -keyout imapd.pem" to generate the certificate, but I still have to manually enter all the info. tnx jk

Please could somebody point my to the correct direction? Thanks, Pelibali

[SLE] Can't Download - Xen-Live Cd-customize -Will Pay -- with apologies
by Ted Hilts 27 Feb '05

27 Feb '05

I am working on a SuSE focused project. First, I apologize if this request is out of order. I am (as some of you already know) working on a special project and I first needed help on Grub which I received from various people on this list. Thanks to all (too many to name here) who helped me in various ways. Nearly every suggestion was helpful. I post this request on [SLE] rather than [OT] because I know there is a fair amount of interest on [SLE]. In terms of that SuSE based project, I now need to download a 300Meg byte tar ball bz2 compressed file from Cambridge University and have been unsuccessful over my (slow) dial up line (server time out) even though the download utility is relentlessly persistent. I need to get this tarball!!! I need this tar ball for my SuSE based project. I am trying to find someone (I will pay them for their effort which will involve the download of this bz2 file, checking data integrity by decompressing and untaring the tar ball without errors -- it takes about 1.8Gig of disk space -- and finally putting the compressed tarball onto two data CDs -- one purely as backup, packaging and mailing the two CDs to me). Please NOTE: Details arranged by email and not over the list. The contents of this compressed tar ball -- once customized for my LAN -- will be used to make a LIVE Xen CD which I will then use to build vitual machines (on SuSE LINUX) which will host SuSE 9.1, 9.2, etc., as well as other distributions. This Live CD besides creating and migrating virtual Linux installations to other machines can effectively do back ups. In other words, this Live CD can be used to satisfy all my project objectives in one form or another. I have the URLs and instructions for the complete process (including customization) if anyone else is interested in doing the same thing (Josephine?). But this email is specific to down loading the tar ball for Xen Live CD contents. Again I wish to aplogize if this request is inappropriate but I did want to share what I have been doing with the list anyway in case others were interested. Thanks again -- TED .

Realtek ALC850 - jack sensing problems
by Adalberto Castelo 27 Feb '05

27 Feb '05

I've been having some annoying problems with my Realtek ALC850 (AC'97) on-board sound (I have a A8V Deluxe mobo (amd 64)), and I finally narrowed it down to the jack sensing technology (I think). Basically, this board tries to figure out how many speakers you have connected to the board, and decides which channels to send to each jack. Problem is, mine seems to be doing a lousy job at it: I get a monoaural signal to my speakers, loosing the right channel; if I connect my headphones to the same jack, I get stereo. I have a 2.1 set (Bose Companion 3), which only uses one jack (line out or spkrs). I get the same effect with my old 2.1 Yamaha speakers (bought a new set because I thought they had died ...sigh...). Speakers have been checked on a different machine, and work. My question is: Anyone with this hardware managed to make it work? How did you do it? What kernel version did you use? What module options? What do you have connected to it? I'm using SuSE 9.2 stock (up to date with the patches), 64 bit. I'd appreciate some help! TIA
