hi, I just downloaded Adobe Reader 7.0 rpm. I am on SuSE 9.1. If I install the rpm from the command line with the -Uvh option, will all the links to the Adobe plugins with my browsers get updated.

Adding a USB entry
by Paul Alfille 04 May '05

04 May '05

How do you add a USB entry? Specifically, a device that is similar to existing devices except for a different product code. I see the list in /lib/modules/.../modules.usbmap which seems to be a reflection of /etc/hotplug/usb.usermap or maybe /etc or maybe I should add to /etc/hotplug/usb.handmap The documentation for this area seems rather sparse on the web.

OT: Getting the rollers on a Deskjet cleaned/oiled?
by Preston Crawford 04 May '05

04 May '05

Can this be done somewhere? Our Deskjet 990cxi is acting weird lately. It's so good and has been so trusty (and I don't know anything cheap and comparable that works with Linux out of the box) that I'm hesitant to just throw it away and get a new printer. However, I want it to work correctly. Do you know where you can (if you can) get something like this worked on these days? Preston

I can't burn CDDA files from mp3's using K3b v3.4.0. I think this is something to do with a missing MAD decodder but where do I get it (preferably in rpm format)? Thanks Phil

Bayesian scoring of SA does not seem correct (SuSE 9.3)
by Carlos E. R. 04 May '05

04 May '05

Hi, I'm getting spam mail that the Bayesian filter marks as 99% spam, but the overall score is below 5. Why? For example, the report for one such email says: X-Spam-Status: No, score=2.6 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_99, HTML_20_30,HTML_IMAGE_ONLY_24,HTML_MESSAGE autolearn=no version=3.0.2 The scoring used I see from the tables in /usr/share/spamassassin/50_scores.cf that is: ALL_TRUSTED -2.867 What is that? :-/ BAYES_99 4.070 HTML_20_30 0.567 HTML_IMAGE_ONLY_24 0.787 HTML_MESSAGE 0.001 What on earth is that about "ALL_TRUSTED"? I see in "20_compensate.cf" this: # The message was never sent via an untrustworthy host. header ALL_TRUSTED eval:check_all_trusted() describe ALL_TRUSTED Did not pass through any untrusted hosts tflags ALL_TRUSTED nice It probably means that it was sent through verizon.net. So what? Oh heck, I'll probably want to disable it. The default scoring is set in 50_scores.cf as: score ALL_TRUSTED -2.400 -2.820 -2.867 -3.300 So I go to "/etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf" and change the score, initially dividing the values by 4, to: score ALL_TRUSTED -0.600 -0.705 -0.717 -0.825 I suppose that a "score" set in there supplants the default one, no? Well, damm, no! I send that spam email to myself, after restarting the spamd service, and I get: X-Spam-Status: No, score=2.8 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_95 autolearn=no version=3.0.2 It is not working. How do I disable that "ALL_TRUSTED" test? I also did the change directly in "/usr/share/spamassassin/50_scores.cf", and the result is the same: X-Spam-Status: No, score=2.8 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_95 How on earth do I disable that $&%$/$/* "ALL_TRUSTED" test? -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson

GAIM 1.1.4 in 9.3
by Eric Wagar 04 May '05

04 May '05

I am trying to use the MSN client in GAIM 1.1.4 that's included with SuSE 9.3, but it keep failing to connect. I have tried connecting on my XP box using the same login and password, and I don't have any issues there. The error in the GAIM/MSN window is: "Unable to authenticate: Unable to connect" And, as I stated above, the XP client with the same username and password work. Is there something I am missing, or has there been some GAIM notice I missed? Thanks Eric

Is this possible?
by Greg Wallace 04 May '05

04 May '05

I am running SuSE 8.1 on a desktop machine. The single internal disk drive has 3G of swap and 77G formatted as EXT3. I have a 120G USB attached hard drive formatted with a single logical partition with an EXT3 sub-partition taking up all but what the file system is using to manage it, meaning most of the 120G.. Is there a way, strictly using Linux commands to copy my working 77G partition to the USB partition? Could a reverse copy also be done if I unmounted the file system on Linux before I did the copy? Assuming it's possible, would my system work afterward just as it worked before? Thanks, Greg Wallace

Failed ReiserFS
by Rikard Johnels 04 May '05

04 May '05

Hi all! I have a client that have lost two 30 gig disks with a huge number of files he uses in a project. The server (Linux SuSE 9.1) suddenly hickuped, and when it came back there was files on the discs but no NFS. ('df showed about 75% usage of the discs) After restart of NFS a 'df' shows total use 1% and the files are gone By some reason (so far unknown) the disk is suddenly empty. They are created under Linux and uses ReiserFS, so he thought them to be "safe". (No he didn't back them up regardles of warnings from me) I did a 'dd if=/dev/hdc of=image.hdc and if i look at that file i can see all the data. I can find all filenames but the fat seems empty. Is there a safe way to try to restore the lost files? Parttitiontable is OK. ReiserFS in it self didn't complain about anything, and SMART didn't register any failing disks. Where shall i start to look? -- /Rikard --------------------------------------------------------------- Rikard Johnels email : rikjoh(a)norweb.se Web : http://www.rikjoh.com/users/rikjoh Mob : +46 735 05 51 01 PGP : 0x461CEE56 ---------------------------------------------------------------
