building an rpm
by Chadley Wilson 31 Mar '05

31 Mar '05

Greetings According to packmans site Download the libdvdcss tar.bz2-file in the same version as the nosrc.rpm from videolan, copy it to /usr/src/packages/SOURCES/, download the nosrc.rpm and compile the library using (rpm < 4) rpm --rebuild --target=i686 libdvdcss*.nosrc.rpm or (rpm >= 4) rpmbuild --rebuild --target=i686 libdvdcss*.nosrc.rpm. The final RPM's you can find in /usr/src/packages/RPMS/i686/, you can install it like every other RPM. Where do I copy the libdvdcss*.nosrc.rpm ? or do I run rpm -ivh libdvdcss*.nosrc.rpm ? I am just uncertain Please help Thanks Chad

Simple question....I hope
by Jonathan Brooks 31 Mar '05

31 Mar '05

Hi, I have a PC with 2 Intel Xeons and SuSE 9.1 installed, I use a piece of software that regularly uses up all free RAM (1Gb installed) and crashes the whole machine. Now I expected this software would need a lot of RAM, so created a 2Gb swap partition when I originally installed the OS. The problem is that SuSE *never* tries to use swap and consequently the machine crashes every time I try to run my prog. If I run top whilst running the other prog: free RAM goes down, swap usage stays the same at 0kb, always.... :( Is this a "known bug" - or is there something else I should be looking at to try to fix this? Any help/suggestions much appreciated. Cheers, Jon.

floppy problems 9.1
by joe lerch 31 Mar '05

31 Mar '05

My floppy is read only, all the time, regardless of floppy or how tab is set it always sees it a write protected drive currently using this from /etc/fstab: /dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto noauto,user,sync 0 0 orginally I had this in /etc/fstab and only root could mount or umount floppy and most operations attempts gave an error that it was not allowed with protocol drives. /dev/fd0 /media/floppy subfs fs=floppyfss,procuid,nodev,nosuid,sync 0 0 neither works properly anyone know what the fix it- as with my Umaxs 1220s scanner everything worked ok with SuSE 8.0, and 9.0 (BTW: still have problems with the Umax 1220s scanner not working, gave up on that one, can reboot to SuSE 9.0 to use the scanner) thanks in advance

9.0 laptop route prob
by wa3knk＠starpower.net 31 Mar '05

31 Mar '05

On this local lan, the laptop only gets through the router sometimes. And that because I go Yast - network services - routing table - expert config. Destination 192.168.1.107 Gateway 192.168.1.1 Network 255.255.255.0 Device eth0 That might work fine until I close and reopen Konqueror.-- nothing. Now if I blank out the above it might be ok again untill the browser is recycled off and on. I got that from google, but need help to stabilize this. .. Thanks John ~

Anyone know how to block emails such as the following: Mar 20 21:01:19 pc1 postfix/smtpd[8376]: connect from unknown[85.95.64.210] Mar 20 21:01:21 pc1 postfix/smtpd[8376]: 65F9CC6F2AD: client=unknown[85.95.64.210] The connect from unknown is what I want blocked, not necessarily this address (although I have blocked this subnet). -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 * Only reply to the list please* "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge

Migrating Users&Passwords to LDAP
by Andrei Verovski 31 Mar '05

31 Mar '05

Hi, Right now I have 2 servers (corporate + mail/web), which have equal user accounts. What I would like to do is to use corporate server as central storage for user/password information. Corporate server offers file services (Samba, Netatalk, NFS + Printing/Faxing) + home directories for users, while mail/web server - only mail for company employes (and web). It is just too stupid to enter all accounts 3 times: on corporate servers for UNIX users, then on the same PC for Samba users, and third time on mail server. Right now all user/password information is being stored in /etc/shadow and /etc/samba/smbpasswd. The question is how to migrate all this on LDAP, and how to instruct mail server to take all user/password information from corporate server. Thanks in advance for any suggestion(s) ********************************************* * Best Regards --- Andrei Verovski * * Personal Home Page * http://snow.prohosting.com/guru4mac/ * Mac, Linux, DTP, Development, IT WEB Site *********************************************
