Xine and DVD
by Ed Dober 08 Mar '05

08 Mar '05

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." Not-so-open-source? The system is current using YOU. Wonder if 9.2 resolves this. Any comments will be appreciated. Ed

Problem with an Epson C900 on a print server
by Sean Rima 08 Mar '05

08 Mar '05

I cannot get SuSE 9.2 to see it, I have tried downloading the pipprint tool and using that but still no joy. I followed the instructions that come with the sitecom printer server but the yast tool never finds it. It is sitting on 192.168.0.4, and I have tried entering that direct into the yast setup. I am wondering if anyone else has done this before Sean -- Sean Rima ICQ: 679813 AIM: tcobone Jabber.org: thecivvie Vodafone: +353879120530 Skype: thecivvie

Reinstating MicrosoftWindowsXP bootloader
by Kevin Donnelly 08 Mar '05

08 Mar '05

Under MicrosoftWindows98, if I wanted to reinstate its loader in the MBR, I used fdisk /mbr to overwrite GRUB or LILO. I assume the MicrosoftWindowsXP equivalent is fixmbr - does anyone have experience of this? (A friend wants to reclaim all of his hard drive, instead of buying a new one.) -- Pob hwyl / Best wishes Kevin Donnelly www.kyfieithu.co.uk - Meddalwedd Rhydd yn Gymraeg www.cymrux.org.uk - Linux Cymraeg ar un CD!

umask
by Hans du Plooy 08 Mar '05

08 Mar '05

Hugo's question, and Patrick's answer (thanks) reminded me of something else I've been missing: How do I set the umask for a certain directory? Say I have a directory, a samba share, say, of which the linux directory is /data Now, lets suppose the samba/windows clients aren't the only people who put stuff in that directory, say I have a script that does backups or that downloads new versions of certain often used programs, that also goes there. Now I want everything in that directory to have permissions 444, regardless of who created and thus owns it. How do I do that on a per-directory basis, below samba? thanks -- Kind regards Hans du Plooy SagacIT (Pty) Ltd hansdp at sagacit dot com

Network addressing
by pburness 08 Mar '05

08 Mar '05

My SuSE desktop has an ip address of 192.168.1.4 and normally accesses the internet via a wireless router with a gateway address of 192.168.1.1 As this gateway link is somewhat unreliable I have an alternative gateway on 192.168.0.1 via a windows XP shared connection. The 192.168.1.1 gateway is ADSL and therefore my preferred route to the internet, but as it is unreliable is it possible to change the addressing on the desktop to use either the 192.168.1.1 or the 192.168.0.1 routes depending upon which one is available? If so how? Phil

logout freeze
by Jake Sallee 08 Mar '05

08 Mar '05

Hello list. I have a problem with KDE freezing whenever I log out. I kind of need help diagnosing and fixing the problem. It doesn't matter what user logs out. Once the screen goes black the login window never appears, the system just hangs. I also noticed that if I drop down to init 3 and then try to go back to init 5 the kdm login screen never shows up. So I'm not sure at this point if it's KDE or if it's Xorg causing the problem. I'm running the latest KDE 3.3 on SuSE 9.2 PRO using Xorg 6.8.2. One more thing: I thought it might have been a KDE problem so I tried rebuilding kdebase from source using rpmbuild --rebuild kdebase*.src.rpm but rpmbuild doesn't appear to finish correctly. :( Thank you for any help! -- Jake Sallee spark(a)breathdedeeply.com Registered Linux User #358012 http://counter.li.org
