Mouse woes -
by Marc Chamberlin 26 Mar '05

26 Mar '05

I think I need a YAST/mouse expert! I have been trying to configure the SuSE mouse via the YAST control panels and am now encountering a serious setback. Let me start out by saying that I was trying to experiment with setting the mouse driver to one of the USB versions available in the hopes of finding one that would allow the thumb wheel of my mouse to work. I have not been able to get it working since upgrading to SuSE9.2 from SuSE9.1 where it had been working fine. My mouse for my laptop is actually a Micro Innovations wireless optical mouse, but there is no driver listed for it in the set of mouse drivers shown by YAST, so I was just trying to experiment an find out if one of the others would work. Anywise, I have not had success, but now I am encountering another new problem, I cannot even open the mouse panel within YAST. The moment it trys to show the list of possible mouse types, I get an immediate reboot of my laptop! BOOM! No chance to change the selection, this happens immediately. Can someone get me out of this mess? If I knew what underlying files YAST touches, maybe I could try editing them directly, but I also need to know what the settings and parameters are that I could change... Any help would be much appreciated, it is rather hard to run a laptop without a mouse!! Believe me!!! Linux needs some help in this area also.... Marc...

Audacity no start
by Steve Lett 26 Mar '05

26 Mar '05

I have seen this happen before with other programs and am not sure what it means... But I have downloaded the Audacity version rpm for SuSE 9.1 from the Packman site, and installed (have tried both as root and as user) on my SuSE 9.2 Pro system and noticed 2 initial problems: 1. No icons are created, Audacity doesn't show up anywhere in a menu. 2. When I go off to try and figure out what to run, I find: usr/bin/audacity looks like an executable, it's 8.5Mb... usr/share/audacity a folder with a couple of folders full of libraries or something. usr/share/doc/packages/audacity a folder full of some files, looks like something your supposed to compile manually... ?? should we have to compile the documentation files before use??... Anyway, since there was no icon created, I click on the /usr/bin/audacity file and nothing happens. Well, not exactly accurate. The harddrive starts a flurry of activity, etc. but after about 60 seconds, all that is done and no application opens on the display. Any ideas how I can figure out why Audacity won't run when I click on it's executable? -- ______________________________________________ Check out the latest SMS services @ http://www.linuxmail.org This allows you to send and receive SMS through your mailbox.

NFS Server
by Joseph Loo 26 Mar '05

26 Mar '05

I seem to have a problem mounting an nfs exported file system. Whenever I try to automount the exported file system form either gentoo or Mandrake, the SUSE 9.2 system would freeze completely. I have the following configuration: AMD64 Suse 9.2 /etc/exports: /export/home0/ polaris(rw,sync) sirus(rw,sync) crab(rw,sync) /etc/modules.conf: alias autofs autofs4 nfs-utils 1.0.6=113 installed aufs4 4.0.0-103 The system would just sit there and do nothing as far as I can tell. I have tried the following command: mount -o remount,rw /proc. One of the googl search indicates that the /proc system is mounted r only and is required to be rw. In any case, it never remounted the /proc as rw The local automount seems to work because all the users are setup as automount via auto.home file I have done showmount -e and the exported file system will show up in the other systems with no problems. I tried the following command ls /net/crab/export/home0/loo the following appeared in the message log Mar 25 19:43:58 crab automount[5384]: attempting to mount entry /net/crab Mar 25 19:45:14 crab kernel: SFW2-INext-DROP-DEFLT IN=modem0 OUT= MAC= SRC=12.65.174.7 DST=12.65.174.58 LEN=48 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=128 ID=38580 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=1843 DPT=135 WINDOW=64512 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0 OPT (0204055001010402) Mar 25 19:45:32 crab kernel: SFW2-INext-DROP-DEFLT IN=modem0 OUT= MAC= SRC=12.65.174.7 DST=12.65.174.58 LEN=48 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=128 ID=39524 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=2250 DPT=135 WINDOW=64512 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0 OPT (0204055001010402) Mar 25 19:45:38 crab kernel: SFW2-INext-DROP-DEFLT IN=modem0 OUT= MAC= SRC=12.65.168.54 DST=12.65.174.58 LEN=48 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=127 ID=25157 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=2216 DPT=445 WINDOW=8760 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0 OPT (020405B401010402) Mar 25 19:45:40 crab kernel: SFW2-INext-DROP-DEFLT IN=modem0 OUT= MAC= SRC=12.65.174.7 DST=12.65.174.58 LEN=48 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=128 ID=40020 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=2250 DPT=135 WINDOW=64512 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0 OPT (0204055001010402) Mar 25 19:45:42 crab kernel: SFW2-INext-DROP-DEFLT IN=modem0 OUT= MAC= SRC=12.65.168.54 DST=12.65.174.58 LEN=48 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=127 ID=25489 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=2216 DPT=445 WINDOW=8760 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0 OPT (020405B401010402) Mar 25 19:47:08 crab kernel: SFW2-INext-DROP-DEFLT IN=modem0 OUT= MAC= SRC=12.65.12.156 DST=12.65.174.58 LEN=48 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=117 ID=27989 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=4013 DPT=445 WINDOW=8760 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0 OPT (020405B401010402) Mar 25 19:47:12 crab kernel: SFW2-INext-DROP-DEFLT IN=modem0 OUT= MAC= SRC=12.65.12.156 DST=12.65.174.58 LEN=48 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=117 ID=28269 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=4013 DPT=445 WINDOW=8760 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0 OPT (020405B401010402) Mar 25 19:48:07 crab automount[8801]: >> mount clntudp_create: RPC: Port mapper failure -

Grub vga value for LCD monitor
by Paul W. Abrahams 26 Mar '05

26 Mar '05

Does anyone know the best value of the vga parameter in grub for an LCD monitor? I've tried the value of 0x031a (1280x1024, 16 bits), but it causes the monitor to produce an "out of range" message on the screen. My guess is that the same value will work for all LCD monitors. I can get it to work with "vga=normal" but I would like to get higher resolution, particularly when I'm working with text consoles. I discovered by looking in the code for /sbin/mkinitrd that you can get a list of available values with the command "/usr/sbin/hwinfo --framebuffer", but seeing the available values doesn't tell you which ones will work, particularly since the values are given with bit counts, not scan frequencies.

AcrobatReader 7.0 and printing
by Sunny 26 Mar '05

26 Mar '05

Hi, I have installed AcrobatReader 7.0 on my SuSE 9.1/KDE 3.4. It works fine, but I can not print. In the settings for print command I have "lp". But if I hit the print button, acrobat just disappears. I started it from CLI to see if there are some error messages, but there are not. It just shuts down. Anyone succeeded to print from it?
