problem with nikon d100 and usb port with suse 9,1 and also with suse 9.2
by Ugo De Marinis(191) 10 Mar '05

10 Mar '05

At the beginning I tested the Photocamera nikon d100 with suse 9,0 and all was ok, when I upgraded to suse 9.1 I had a problem because when i plugged the camera I had a signal error. When I upgraded to suse 9.2 I hopped that the problem will be solved , but I had a new problem! now I don't have e signal error when I plug the camera, but the xterm, konqueror an the keyboard are stopped, when I turn off the camera all are ok. I tested also the list of the cameras in gphoto2 --list cameras and there is the nikon listed in this mode "nikon DSC D100 (PTP mode)". There is same settings that can I do? I don't know (TPT mode) , there is same frien that can help me ? Thank you very much Ugo De Marinis demarini1(a)gruppobio.191.it ------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------

GPRS or CDMA wireless modem card
by Wang Penghui 10 Mar '05

10 Mar '05

Hello everybody: Does anybody use GPRS or CDMA wireless netcard to connect to the internet successfully? If so, i wonder the follow questions: 1. Is it any necessary extra kernel modules to use it? 2. Any special configuration need to be set? 3. Any special software need to be installed? 4. How about the quality of the connection. include the speed and bandwidth. 5. Is it any difference between the two methods to the above questions? 6. I am in china. is it any differences from other countries? Thanks very much.

X problems: Cannot open display []
by L. de Braal 10 Mar '05

10 Mar '05

Hi all, I have 9.2 installed on my laptop with all bells and whistles, and one thing I use it for is to connect to servers and run x-apps remotely. I do this with ssh -X server.name. I have 2 equal servers set up with SuSE9.2 minimal install plus the software needed for the services they provide. One server gives me no problem, I can run x-apps, the other gives me the error: Cannot open display []. So I suspect this is not a problem on my laptop, but on the machine refusing to connect. I already checked /var/log/messages, compared sshd_config, but I cannot find any clues to what causes this. I did find in my remote homedir that there were diffs in ownership of .x* and .X* files (some were owned by root on the problem-machine). I have been setting them the same, but this does not help. Some place where to start looking further? -- L. de Braal BraHa Systems NL Terneuzen T +31 115 649333 F +31 115 649444

suse livecd+remastering
by Josephine 10 Mar '05

10 Mar '05

Hello After a lot of fights with my ISP because they wouldn't set up my dns, here it is: Hax Linux lets you create and remaster a liveCD based on suse linux 9.2, with kernel 2.6.9. It uses squashfs, so you will need a squashfs-ready kernel to be able to mount and remaster the isos. There are 2 isos: an iso with a suse base system, intended for easy remastering and another iso for dekstop use that comes with xfce4 (it's more an example of a finished remaster). I am still working on the documentation, but a guide on how to remaster the cd is available in Hax's homepage, as well as the locations for download: http://www.hax-linux.org Those willing to contribute with documentation, howtos and improvements send me an email. For technical issues like how to build and remaster the iso, bug fixes, requests and whatever else, please use the site's forum, so that other people can also see the problems and possible solutions. Things needed to be fixed asap in the distro: sax2 and xorgconfig; user's home dir and user's permissions. X autodetection is reasonable enough and if you use the livecd on the same pc where you built it, works just fine; I've just noticed issues with monitors larger that 19" and high resolutions. Have a lot of fun remastering Josephine

Red Carpet apt repositories....
by Clayton 10 Mar '05

10 Mar '05

If anyone is interested in trying it out, I've created a redirect for Red Carpet (using Open-carpet) so it will look into the apt repositories at gwdg.de. In Red Carpet, add a new service and point it at http://www.smaug42.com/suse_rc Then "Refresh" and go pick the various RPM repositories you want to install from. This should give you access to all of current apt repositories as of today's list (08 March) but ONLY FOR SuSE9.2. I have not yet set it up for any other version. If I have time in the next few days/weeks I will try to add in some of the older versions... or if someone else wants to add on to the config just let me know, and we can arrange something offlist. I should be able to host the xml files permanently (as permanent as things are on theinternet anyway) on this domain. If there are ay problems with it... like a typo, let me know. C.

That is something to think about. However, I'm just a beginer with Linux. I would be more interested in learning from others. Don't get me wrong, I'm not new to computers. I have my MCSE (no jokes please) and have been working as a Network admin for about two years, and have installed and setup Suse Pro. I actually installed pure-ftpd on a work machine. But that's just about it. > > -----Original Message----- > > From: a.bridge(a)insightbb.com [mailto:a.bridge@insightbb.com] > > Sent: Wednesday, March 09, 2005 10:10 > > To: suse-linux-e(a)suse.com > > Subject: [SLE] User Groups/Associations > > > > > > I am trying to find a usergroup in or near the Louisville, KY > > area.
