Can't write to download directory for temporary files
by Martin Deppe 06 Jun '05

06 Jun '05

Hi you, can you tell me where in konqueror I can change the default download directory for temporary files? I was looking in "Configure Konqueror" and inside some config files, but without success yet. When I, f.e., go onto "http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/3608958177/028-8254727-6130121" and click onto the link called "Größeres Bild" which referes to "http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P/3608958177.03.LZZZZZZZ.jpg" konqueror tries to download the file into a temporary directory in order to display it, but then instead I get the following error: Access denied Could not write to /backup/SuSE-9.3/3608958177.03.LZZZZZZZ.jpg I really don't know how this became the default directory when downloading temporary files, but where can I change it again? Thanks in advance Martin

2nd DVD Drive Added: No symbolic link or mount point added
by John Bailo 06 Jun '05

06 Jun '05

Suse 9.2 I put in a new DVD/RW drive. I already had a DVD/ROM drive. The old drive was recognized as /dev/hdc. symlink ( added by suse) is /dev/dvd mount point ( added by suse ) is /media/dvd The new drive was recognized as /dev/hdd No symlink or mount point was added. I guess I can do this myself, but shouldn't Suse automatically add these when detecting a new media drive?

SuSE installation on Dell PowerEdge
by Stephen Hughes 06 Jun '05

06 Jun '05

Hi All We've just purchased a Dell PowerEdge SC1425 Server. The server comes with a Auto Install cd for Windows and RedHat Linux. When I try and install SLES9 (32 Bit) on the server, it picks up that there is no hard drive installed. Does anyone out there know what driver I need in order to pick up the hard drive and or alternatively how to install SLES9 on this server?

can't establish a dial-up conn with kinternet
by Joe Zien 06 Jun '05

06 Jun '05

I finally got 9.3 Pro installed and am very impressed. Only problem is I can't establish a dial-up connection with kinternet When I first installed, yast did not setup my modem. After installation, I tried to setup connection with yast. The kinternet icon is in the bottom tray and when I click, the modem starts dialing and I hear the modem working, all the proper led's are lit and the modem dies. I have an external modem on port tty0, com port 1. This modem works great on my libranet 2.8.1 system. Any help would be appreciated. jozien

Identity usurpation in suse lists
by Carlos E. R. 06 Jun '05

06 Jun '05

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, We have a big problem in the Spanish SuSE list. There is a poster, probably certified mad (Tourette syndrome), that has taken to insult people as he pleases. But the worst is that he is emailing with the from address replaced by any other person of the list (me, for example), confusing the innocent people that are not aware of this. I'm talking about 50 messages of this kind per day, more than the normal traffic. The list administrator does not answer us. Novell (contacted directly) is doing nothing. SuSE does nothing. Who can do something? I wonder if they would do something if this person posted as "support@novell"? We need a list with login/password. Or a news forum, as Novell implements in parallel to lists (support-forums.novell.com) but with autentification procedure. Whatever. Meanwhile, many worthy people (clients) have quited the list. Some have gone to alternative lists in private servers put up by some posters, and dispersing listers. Even suse support in Spain is ashamed to forward people to suse-linux-s when the free support does not cover the problem of the client! It is not a joke. I write here in the hope that people that can do something in SuSE/Novell, are told, publicly, of what is happening. They are responsible, as the company hosting a server that is hosting insults - at least with our laws. At least, they can remove the insults from the archives, and take technical measures to impede further damage. Sorry to bother this list. I hope you don't ever have to suffer what we suffer. - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFCoDiUtTMYHG2NR9URAiwUAJ4xipSuMVEagiEf80QBuq8GsZE+qACffejv vig+wnijoxIeHNcR5owRJtM= =z7rz -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Re: [SLE] Newest 'chkrootkit' rpm available...

I'm really glad in case other people could use the stuff I prepared primarily for friends/myself. I'm also aware, that while people looking at the "too simple" page mostly won't download any stuff, because specially with security-related software it's good to have both eyes open... The design of the page will be not changed, but most likely I will replace the archives containing the .spec files to a brief change- log listing of each package. Other point of view is, that I provide packages exclusively for 9.1 I decided to stuck with. There is zero interest from my side to release anything for newer SUSE versions or use even an APT-repository. Anyway, still plenty of new packages will be available (very soon) after my PhD-defense as a minor contribution of mine to the SUSE-community ;) Best regards, Pelibali http://homepage.univie.ac.at/balazs.melikant/ Ps. Patrick. Maybe you would like to look at the "tuned-up" rkhunter srpm.rpm on my page; there is a patch in it based on the config stuff you had in your spec file. I added the '.java'-related hidden-file and -folder things as well I read here on the list...

USB wireless adapter under SuSE?
by Kevanf1 05 Jun '05

05 Jun '05

Hi everybody. This is on behalf of a friend who I am trying to persuade to jump ships to Linux :-))) Does anybody know of any success stories using a Linksys Wireless-G USB Network Adapter model WUSB54G? Of course the big problem is that it is a USB model. Perhaps if not in SuSE Linux then another distro? Or failing that can anybody suggest places I could look up for further help? I have checked the Linksys homepage. -- Take care. Kevan Farmer 34 Hill Street Cheslyn Hay Staffordshire WS6 7HR
