YaST Samba Module
by Donald D Henson 16 May '05

16 May '05

I'm having loads of trouble with the YaST Samba module. It seems that changes don't always get posted to smb.conf. A specific instance is that I tried to change security = user to security = share using "Expert Global Settings" in YaST. After finishing, I reopened YaST and found that security was still set to user. I exited YaST and made the change manually in /etc/samba/smb.conf and the security mode changed to share like it's supposed to. However, YaST still shows the security mode to be user. I also had problems with setting up my shares using YaST. I eventually just went directly to smb.conf and set everything up there. I guess I'm not really asking for technical help but, rather, where the heck do I report something like this? I don't seem to be able to find a YaST bugzilla (is there one?) and this doesn't really qualify as a SuSE support request. Any reasonable suggestions will be appreciated. -- Donald D.

lost kdm after upgrade
by steve 16 May '05

16 May '05

Hi. After a successful upgrade from 9.2 to 9.3, I've lost the nice kdm login screen with avatars of the users on it. Yast sysconfig editor still shows kdm as the login manager but the KDE control center has no effect upon it. All I have is a 2 line username and password form against the SuSE splash screen. Any ideas how to get back? Cheers, Steve.

PAR2 GUI frontend?
by Clayton 16 May '05

16 May '05

Does anyone know of a GUI frontend for PAR2? I know I can get the command line version out of sourceforge - and have... just would be more "convenient" to have a GUI frontend for it rather than having to drop to the CLI each time. C.

LAN Problem
by Stephen P. Molnar, Ph.D. 16 May '05

16 May '05

Another strange problem that has occurred after upgrading my system from v9.0 to v9.3. In 9.1 I could access Igor, a MS XP box on my LAN via either Krusader or Konqueror via Samba and/or LinNeighborhood. Up until today, the linux browser could only see some of the MS directories that were accessable in 9.0 - strange point number one. For some reason, starting with a fresh boot this morning the browsers now see none of the MS directories. LinNeighborhood used to work, in 9.0, with out complaint. No more! It can see all of the direcories on the XP machine, but when I attempt to mount one I get: smbmount //IGOR/P /root/mnt/IGOR/P/ -o username=Administrator%*****,fmask=644,dmask=755,uid=0,gid=0,ip=,debug=0,workgroup=ffc,port=139 Can't resolve address I have acccepted all of the defaults for LinNeighborhood. Neither of the machines is behind a dedicated firewall as I depend on the routher firewall. This situation puts a serious crimp in my research as I routinely move files between the machines. I don't have the faintest idea as to what is going on and will appreciate any and all assistance. Thanks in advance -- Stephen P.

mouse creep ( 9.1 )
by Francesco Scaglioni 16 May '05

16 May '05

Hi, Am running 9.1 on Dell Inspiron 8500. Recently the machine seems to have developed a mouse creep. Oddly the mouse only seems to creep when eg holding down an alt or a ctrl key, or ocassionaly it will creep when using the keyboard. Sometimes it will stop at the edge of the currently active window and at other times creep to edge of screen. ANy thoughts as to weather this is a software or a hardware problem TIA F

Seemingly random program crashes
by perlcgi2000 16 May '05

16 May '05

I'm using suse 9.1 and KDE. I keep getting seemingly random program crashes - Firefox or Ximian Evolution just disappear from the taskbar without even an error message. I thought Firefox was to blame so I got the latest version. I also upgraded gtk-qt and checked my memory (which is fine). Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can track the problem down ? (I'm a noob so I'm kinda clueless here). Thanks, Digsy ___________________________________________________________ Yahoo!

Squirrelmail - PHP4 or PHP5
by Jim Flanagan 16 May '05

16 May '05

Afternoon, Does it matter which version of PHP I set up for Squirrelmail? I read that Squirrelmail is written in PHP4. Will it work with PHP5? Are there any advantages/disadvantages to either? TIA -- Jim Flanagan linuxjim at jjfiii.co
