PHP-imap Extensions
by Jim Flanagan 31 May '05

31 May '05

Does anyone know what PHP-imap extention does? It is a package on the 9.3 disks, but I don't know what it is for, the short description in the rmp only says it is not only from imap. It does not install as a dependancy with squirrelmail and one or the other imap versions (cyrus etc.). -- Jim Flanagan linuxjim at jjfiii dot com

Right Mouse Button Problem
by David Johanson 31 May '05

31 May '05

Under SuSE 9.3 and KDE 3.4, right clicking on a file in konquerer results in moving up (back) one level in the file manager. This same right click in any text editor or office component works as expected, likewise on the desktop, namely, opening a menu of options. Mouse is a Logitech Mx700 optical although I don't think it matters as the problem is only in the file manager. The problem was not present in SuSE 9.2 and is not present in Mepis 3.3 both of which were/are running KDE 3.3 so I'm thinking this may be something to do with KDE 3.4. I've spent some time in the control center looking for the location of the button assignments but so far have come up sans solution. Has anyone experienced anything similar and if so what did you do? dave -- David C.

No special tweaks required. AFAIK it's more of a kernel issue than a SUSE-specific issue, though.

Where to start to solve hardware problem?
by Ronald Wiplinger 31 May '05

31 May '05

Yesterday my * server (SuSE 9.2 pro on Athlon) just stopped, no screen, no reaction to keyboard or mouse. I get all kind of messages, or just stop during restart 1. just two lines of a code (immediately after turn on the computer) 113-AM21200-100-GB GV-RX30128D F1 2. Main Processor: AMD Athlon (tm) 64 Processor 3200+ <CPUID: 0FF0 Patch ID: 0041> and BIOS line 12/14/2004-NF-CK804-6A6IFG09C-00 and it stops here 3. No SATRaid found and it stops here 4. ... No disk reserved for RAID use, RAID disable (actually it meant computer disabled, and it stops here) 5. if I come to boot Linux, than it stops somewhere, with or without kernel panic. The most I came was: Excessive leakage detected on module 0:0 volts (00) after 162 ms ProSLIC module failed leakage test. Check for short circuit DC-DC cal has a surprising direct 107 of 0xff! ##### Loop error (ff) ##### ##### Loop error (ff) ##### ##### Loop error (ff) ##### ##### Loop error (ff) ##### ##### Loop error (ff) ##### ##### Loop error (ff) ##### ##### Loop error (ff) ##### !!!!!!!

Chicken or egg? Digium card or a result of another problem? Since I most of the time did not come so far. Any idea? I can immagine from all the errors I saw: 1. Motherboard is broken 2. CPU is broken 3. Power supply is broken (btw a very expensive one: 200 US$) What is your expert opinion??? Where and how to start to get back the system stabled. Yes, after 2 hours it booted again, but I worry, that it will happen anytime again. bye Ronald

Fwd: Re: [SLE] Disable ARTS

Ok I set that for 5 seconds. I also did a ps -ef | grep arts and killed a artsd/kde process that seemed suspended. Then, I went into "Sounds & Notifications" and turned "All Sounds" to "Off". And you know what -- suddenly my regular sound has a much higher volume ( I don't have to have all the sliders on maximum to hear anything ) with digital sound ( the analog sound of CDs always seemed fine ) My intuition is that arts is has been a huge problem for audio in Suse since 9.1 and they should just get rid of it -- system sounds are important, but they shouldn't take priority over so many other functions. That kind of design reminds me of Windows XP where simple application processes can /take/ /over/. Look, if I don't hear a system sound because a more application level process has died, I don't care. But if the artsd system constantly contributes to my being unable to enjoy my multimedia content -- and, as I suspect, contributes to general GUI crashes and other performance problems -- then get rid of arts! > Regards > Sid. > -- > Sid Boyce ...

Cannot change KDM greetings
by Mike Béla 31 May '05

31 May '05

It's easy and intuitive to change the KDM greetings for the default KDM theme. But the same thing is impossible for the SuSE KDM theme (SuSE 9.3). This very nice KDM theme looks like a GDM and the default bootsplash graphics, but I cannot change the greetings. The settings in the Control Center and YaST sysconfig editor have effects only if I use the KDE's default KDM theme.

Background Image for Every TTY
by Mike Béla 31 May '05

31 May '05

It's very easy to enable the background image of the the verbose bottsplash for every tty on Gentoo Linux. What's more, I can, after having downloaded other themes, have a different theme for every tty. I only need to modify some config files. How can I enable the same thing in SuSE Linux (9.3)?

hardware database - details of partial support?
by Dave Howorth 31 May '05

31 May '05

I was looking in Suse's h/w database (great resource :) for amd64 motherboards. It mentions four of which three are 'partially' supported, but I can't find any way to get details of what that means. Is there some way to find out what works and what doesn't (according to the database)? Thanks, Dave

New kernel compilation
by Surya Kiran Gullapalli 31 May '05

31 May '05

Hi, I'm using SUSE - 9.1 and i tried to upgrade the kernel from the default one to 2.6.11.10 <http://2.6.11.10>. Kernel compilation went fine, but after booting with new kernel, i'm having problem with accessing dvd/cd drive and floppy drives (both uses subfs filesystems), and the pen drive connected to USB drive (which uses usbfs). Am i missing something here?? I had no problem with accessing pen drive or dvd or floppy drives with the old kernel. Thanks, Surya

Re: [suse-sles-e] boot CD for SLES9 (Netboot YaST howto)

Good idea, it's faster and easier than juggling CDs. But why not netboot into an install? You'll need: a DHCP server with /etc/dhcpd.conf setup a tftp server (atftpd) with /tftpboot/pxelinux.0 and /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default the CD default kernel /tftpboot/sles9-vmlinuz.default the CD YaST initrd /tftpboot/sles9-initrd.yast a network repository of the Suse of your choice (Suse Pro is always easy, just copy the DVD in whole) Want to try it? Here we go... Fire up YaST2 : Install and Remove Software Install: dhcp-server syslinux atftp (get rid of tftpd if you had it) Edit /etc/sysconfig/dhcpd and set the correct interface eg: DHCPD_INTERFACE="eth1" Edit /etc/dhcpd.conf to include: host target { hardware ethernet <mac:address:of:target:machine>; fixed-address <a.suitable.IP.number>; server-name "<IP.of.TFTP.server>"; next-server <IP.of.TFTP.server>; filename "pxelinux.0"; } That tells the recently booted machine to get pxelinux.0 by TFTP. So we need a copy of pxelinux.0 to serve: root> cp -p /usr/share/syslinux/pxelinux.0 /tftpboot/pxelinux.0 pxelinux.0 is a fixed thing, the configuration comes in the next step when it comes back looking in /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/ for a file named after the hosts IP in uppercase Hex. It keeps shaving digits off till there is nothing left and finally tries for "default". root> mkdir /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg Create a file /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default with: default yast label yast kernel sles9-vmlinuz.default append load_ramdisk=1 initrd=sles9-initrd.yast Copy the CDs into your NFS repository. root> cp sles9/CD1/boot/loader/linux /tftpboot/sles9-vmlinuz.default root> cp sles9/CD1/boot/loader/initrd /tftpboot/sles9-initrd.yast Hit reset on the target box and set up the bios to netboot. If you keep a terminal window (a wide one) on the server running tail -f /var/log/messages you will see the DHCP and TFTP requests being answered. On the target console you should see the YaST installer fire up. enjoy, michaelj -- Michael James michael.james(a)csiro.au System Administrator voice: 02 6246 5040 CSIRO Bioinformatics Facility fax: 02 6246 5166 Internet Explorer is fine for downloading Firefox, but after that....
