Installing X in somewhere besides /usr/X11R6
by Steven Pasternak 23 Jun '05

23 Jun '05

Hi! I want to make a legacy development environment to build old code that is now incompatible with the current libraries (qt 1,kde 1, etc.), just for laughs. I got past gcc 2.95.3, binutils 2.13.1 and glibc 2.2.5. Qt 1 needed libX11.so.1 (I think), but when it tried to link against it, libX11.so.1 said it needed libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3). I now need a way to compile X in /opt/old/ instead of /usr. I have build X once before, but with the defaults. Anybody know an easy way to tell it to install in /opt/old? Thanks! -Steven

What is the big user of my CPU
by C. Brouerius van Nidek 23 Jun '05

23 Jun '05

My system is running 9.3 and I am quit happy with the setup. It is running on a P II with 400MHz and memory of 256MB. KDE is not the fastest but neither am I ;-). Due to my age and the behavior of my monitor I am using a 800x600 screen with 88 Hz refresh rate. On the right sight of all 4 desktops I have gkrellm running. Out of the blue moon the cpu usage is sometimes as high as 99 to 100%. Looking into the htop I found what is using up to 82% of the cpu. But sorry, I have no idea how to tame this wild user. Htop says: /usr/X11R6/bin/X -br -nolisten tcp:0 vt7 -auth /var/lib/xdm/authdir/authfiles /A:0 -FtNPUe and that uses up to 82% of the cpu at times. It than even drops to 6.4%. Memory usage is a stable 7.7%. This process seems to run for some time if I read the htop info right. In red it states 34h in black 17:45. My system is for the moment up 4 days and 8:09 Have some blackouts and my UPS is not 100% anymore ;-(. Could somebody point me out where to find the info in order to optimize my system?

First off, make sure you have applied all the updates using yast online update. From the patch file xorg-x11-libs-52303: Longdescription.english: Fix font display problems showing up with internationalized applications using legacy toolkits like gtk1, Athena Widgets, etc., e.g. xmms. This happened when using languages like Czech, Russian, Greek and others. Depending on which fonts are installed the previous update could result in 100% CPU usage by the Xserver when starting such applications. This is fixed now. Hsilgne.noitpircsedgnol: [end quote] After doing that, you might consider switching your window manager to something which is more efficient like fvwm2 (my favorite and very, very fast and exceptionally powerful when configured correctly.)

Firewall Monitoring
by Paul T. Ahlstedt 23 Jun '05

23 Jun '05

Hi gang, one other question for today - I tend to run the Firestarter firewall on my Linux distro's as it gives me a GUI that I can monitor for intrusion attempts (incidentally, I get about 60 per hour, most port 445 microsoft-ds attacks). I like the ability to watch it live. Question: I am letting my Suse 9.2 Pro firewall run on its own, but I can't see what it is doing. Is there a GUI available for it or some way that I can monitor it? I can't seem to find anything about this anywhere. TIA, Paul

Problem with Dialup
by Paul T. Ahlstedt 22 Jun '05

22 Jun '05

Hello everyone, I have a problem here that the help files and archives have not been able to solve for me, or at least I don't understand the explaination of this. What it is exactly is that I just set up Suse 9.2 Professional on my laptop dual boot with XP. XP works fine as does Suse seem to except that when I open KPPP to connect to the internet with my PCMCIA card modem, I get a warning window that says that I do not have sufficient permission to do that, and to make sure that ppp is owned by root and that the SUID bit is set. What the heck does that mean? I am new to Linux and have tried to solve this by reading help on my own, but I honestly can't get it resolved. My user name belongs to "dialout" so why the problem? As reference, my PCMCIA modem (which is NOT a windmodem and has all controller stuff onboard) has worked with all other distro's including Mandriva 2005 which has been used most with it. I have the entire package installed with my 9.2 including all server stuff as I wanted to learn more about it. This is a magazine bundled Dual Layer DVD that I used - and just about everything under the sun is packaged with it. I really want to get this resolved as I want to buy 9.3 Pro but want to make sure this works ok first - and of course it is killing me to have to fire up XP to write this message, sure would love to have my Linux back! TIA, Paul

hungarian o" and u" characters in openoffice/msoffice
by Gabor Istvan 22 Jun '05

22 Jun '05

Dear list members: I have created a slide presentation with Openoffice.org Impress. (Suse Linux 9.2, Openoffice 1.1.3) Since the language of the presentation is hungarian I used special hungarian characters, like ő (o") and ű (u"). I have to show the slides somewhere where only windows and MS Power Point is available. Therefore I have saved my presentation from openoffice as power point (.ppt) file. When I checked the presentation on a windows machine opening it by MS Power Point I realized that the above characters were replaced by o and u. I tried several font types (arial, times new roman etc) but the result was the same. For checking the origin of incompability, I created a slide with MS PP in windows containing the above characters. Opening the file with the WINDOWS VERSION openoffice, the characters looked as expected (normal). Then I saved this slide from openoffice as openoffice file (.sxi) Reopening the file the characters looked normal. Then I saved from openoffice this slide as .ppt. Opening this ppt with MS powerpoint, the o" and u'' characters changed again to o and u. Please if you know what can cause this problem and how to correct it, or know a place where I can get more info write. (Since this is urgent, I had no time for googling and check openoffice. org site yet) TIA, IG

SVN and KDE
by Sunny 22 Jun '05

22 Jun '05

Hi, I have SuSE 9.1 Pro, Kde 3.4.1. I use apt-get to keep up-to-date the system. Now, I found in the apt repository (or maybe it is part of 9.1) a package kio_svn, which is supposed to enable svn:// links in konqueror. I guess it is for KDE 3.1, as its version number shows a date in June 2004. But I can not find a newer version of this package. I even tried to look for it in 9.3, but it is not there as well. So, does anyone knows where I can find this package? Or, some nice GUI for Subversion? On their site they have a link to rapidsvn, but ... it is an year old, and I can not find rpms for 9.1 or 9.3. Cheers Sunny

wireless adapter

After searching the archives going back six months I have not been able to find much using "wireless" as the search string. I am contemplating buying a wireless router and pcmcia adapter for my laptop and would like to have any recommendations as to what to buy. I currently use a Linksys router and have never had problems and may want to stay with the same brand but a change is not out of the question.
