Apt and unknown signatures
by Jerome Lyles 17 May '05

17 May '05

I'm using 9.3 and apt. When I try to update kaffeine for example I get this message: APT system reports: E: Error(s) while checking package signatures: 0 unsigned package(s) 4 package(s) with unknown signatures 0 package(s) with illegal/corrupted signatures I am using the rpmkeys component. How can I fix this? Thanks, Jerome

Is there anyway I can have a boot cd which boots into linuxrc in 9.3, like in the good old days? The boot promts don't work. Cheers, Steve.

Sending fax from KdeprintFax
by James Knott 17 May '05

17 May '05

When faxing from KdeprintFax, a spool file is created, which is then transmitted by faxrunq or faxrunqd. Is it possible to automatically trigger faxrunq, when using KdeprintFax, instead of starting it manually? Given the low number of faxes I send, I'd rather not start it from cron or use faxrunq. tnx jk

USB hotplug nightmare
by Sunny 17 May '05

17 May '05

Hi, I happily "converted" a whole friends family to SuSE :) So far, so good. They are good with it, and have no problems whatsoever. Of course, part of the "deal" was, that it'll be easily for me to help them and support their machine (remotely) :) So, this is good as well, I can and I do this. But a problem appeared, and because they are not "geeks", I asked them not to use the root account, and to let me deal with everything which needs root access. And ... they bought an mp3 player Sandisk. The problem is, that it is recognized by the system (I see in dmesg that it is assigned to sda1), but it does not create mount points, and does not mount it automatically. On my own 9.1 whenever I plug it in, it pops up konqi with the files, but it does not happen on the 9.2. machine. Suddenly today, after my friend plugged it, it have started the partitioner?!?!? I got desktop sharing, and logged in, entered the root password, and saw, that it just have created an entry in the list for /dev/sda and /dev/sda1, with no mount point and FAT16 filesystem. I added a mount point /media/mp3, and applied the changes. The result was, that /media/mp3 directory was created, but no mounting ocured. And no entry in fstab was created either. I played with sysconfig entries for hotplug, switching yes/no the _MOUNT entry, changing _MOUNT_TYPE to fstab and subfs. Nothing of these worked. I.e., unplugging/plugging the device works OK at kernel point of view (I see the messages in dmesg) but no mount points. And I do not want my friends to start using su, mount ... just for this. I guess, I miss something easy, but I do not know what. Any help will be highly appreciated. Cheers Sunny

RE: [SLE] Tiny fonts again
by David Christensen 17 May '05

Do you think that this could also be an issue for Kylix from Borland? I installed 9.3, then installed Kylix. The fonts were very tiny, plus sizes of tabs, etc., were messed up making Kylix unusable. Finally had to reinstall 9.2 in order to be able to use it. There are some things about 9.3 that I really like, but still have to be able to use Kylix for development. -----Original Message----- From: Felix Miata [mailto:mrmazda@ij.net] Sent: Tuesday, May 17, 2005 6:23 AM To: suse-linux-e(a)suse.com Subject: Re: [SLE] Tiny fonts again Vladimir Niksic wrote: > I have had the same problem with a new 19" monitor on 1600x1200.

If you're using a GTK1 mozilla.org version, switch to a gtk2+xft version. The problem is that in distro releases that include xft/fontconfig, there is more than one system DPI. Moz does use one of them. Check http://members.ij.net/mrmazda/auth/dpi-screen-window.html to see the one Moz uses, and compare to the one reported by KDE Info Center (which is from xdpyinfo). Read http://www.mozilla.org/unix/dpi.html to find out how to deal with DPI issues. -- "Through Him all things were made; without Him nothing was made that has been made."

Re: [SLE] Laptop and Intel 2200BG
by Joe Zitnik 17 May '05

17 May '05

Well, at least I was on the right track. I found documentation that said the card had to be configured from yast rather than yast2. I tried that with no luck. Matter of fact, I tried everything short of putting a television antenna on my head and sticking my tongue in the PCMCIA slot, with no luck. I'll keep plugging away, or I'll just save my self the misery and upgrade to 9.3. Thanks for the response. >>> Andre Truter <andre.truter(a)gmail.com> 5/16/2005 4:59 PM >>> On 5/13/05, Joe Zitnik <JZitnik(a)hfcc.net> wrote: > I have a Micron Laptop running Suse Professional 9.1.

In YaST network configuration, you need to select the 'Other (not detected)' entry and then set all the fields manually. Select 'Device type' as wireless and enter ipw2200 as the module. Then carry on with the config as normal. Only since SuSE 9.2, the card is detected by YaST. -- Andre Truter | Software Engineer | Registered Linux user #185282 ICQ #40935899 | AIM: trusoftzaf | http://www.trusoft.za.org ~ A dinosaur is a salamander designed to Mil Spec ~

suse watcher / online update with user
by Jan Albrecht 17 May '05

17 May '05

Hi all, I've a problem here, I can't find a solution for, even after searching the web... I'm using an internal update server for my suse updates. For security reasons I don't want to allow login via the "anonymous" or "ftp" user onto this server, so I'm using a user. This works perfectly for YOU but the suse_watcher or online_update has a problem with this: ERROR(media:login failed){the username and/or the password are incorrect} Has anyone of you an idea where I have to store the password on my local machines so that they can check for updates? Thanks in advance J

Cups daemon died during initialization
by Ryan McCain 17 May '05

17 May '05

SUSE 9.2 Pro. When I go into YAST I get this after clicking on the printer icon: Cups daemon died during initialization My first step at troubleshooting this was to do this: linux:/etc/cups # /etc/init.d/cups start Starting cupsd done linux:/etc/cups # cupsd: Child exited with status 98! linux:/etc/cups # ..As you can see I couldn't start cups from the shell either. I've spent about 20 minutes googling and looking over the list, but cant seem to find a resolution to this problem. Printing did work fine at one time. I'm not sure if I updated a cups related package via red-carpet, or if this just happened out of the blue. Any ideas? Thanks, Ryan
