Hi, Quick question: with the latest nvidia driver and SuSE 9.3 Pro, should I see the normal nvidia splash screen when X starts up/resets? Here's the output of 3Ddiag: # 3Ddiag 3Ddiag version 0.724 Verifying 3D configuration: Using 3dinfo ************************************************************ Verifying 3D configuration for 3D board "nVidia Corporation GeForce2 MX 100/200 (10de@0111)": Verifying driver installation: nvidia ... done.

SUSE 9.3 Samba and Firewall issue
by Kshitij Velhal 27 Jun '05

27 Jun '05

Hi folks, I think this is very well known issue. But still could not find a right solution for this till Now. (It's there in 9.2, 9.3 and even Fedora 3 and 4 for that matter) Here's the problem: I have SUSE 9.3 installation with samba configured. I have firewall running with ports 137,138 UDP and 139 TCP opened. All windows machines (2K and XP) in my home network are able to access shares and printer on my SUSE box. They can ping the box or browse the shares using DNS name ("Linux" in this case) But SUSE linux box cannot access any of these machines by their DNS names. Its not possible to browse and find computers from konqueror using smb:/ However I can access the windows boxes using their IP without any problems. If I turn off the firewall on Linux Box I can also access the windows boxes by their DNS names. I am not able to figure out which firewall rule is blocking nmb daemon's capability to browse the network. I am using YaST to configure the firewall. (Not familiar with backend - iptables) Can anybody tell me (or point me to) the solution for this problem. I am sure its just a matter of setting/modifying a rule in firewall. but not aware of what it is. Please note there is no firewall on any of the windows boxes. Thanks for help -Kshitij

sax2 -p

sax2 -p detects on my laptop: CHip: 0 is -> Intel 855 GM 00:02:0 0x8086 0x3582 PCI i810 This is a dual head machine though. How do I tell that to sax2? Also, the latest intel driver is i915. I downloaded the rpm and installed it but how do I actually hook it up? SuSE is still using the i810 driver. Thanks Fritz -- Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/mail/

Spellcheck dictionaries
by Kelly J. Morris 27 Jun '05

27 Jun '05

Last year, when I was using Evo 1.4.6 with SuSE Pro 9.0 and Ximian XD2, I asked for and received help in adding French and Portuguese spellchecking. I used Ximian Red Carpet to to install aspell-fr and aspell-pt and they appeared immediately in the Spellchecker Languages window. I just installed (clean) SuSE 9.2 with Evo 2.0.1. I used YaST to install the aspell-fr and aspell-pt files. However, this did not add French and Portuguese to my choices under Settings> Composer Preferences> Spellchecking. Would someone please tell me what to do to add French and Portuguese spellchecking? TIA Kelly -- Kelly J. Morris <kjmlists(a)comcast.net>

Removing Windows partition and using it for /usr
by Sean Rima 27 Jun '05

Is there anyway that I can delete my windows partition as I have not booted into it for a long time and use it for /usr as it is 17gb in size or would I be better to use it for /home Sean -- I wish I was on a Cincinnati street corner holding a clean dog!

linux firewall or SUSE
by Paul Cartwright 27 Jun '05

27 Jun '05

My son is having problems with his ( XP ) PC. He seems to be getting smurf attacks, or something like that. I'm not sure I can sway him to run SUSE ( or any Linux distro), but I may be able to get him to run a Linux firewall on another, older, spare PC. Could he just run SUSE on this spare box and use his cablemodem from XP, through the SUSE box? what would be other suggestions for a Linux firewall box ? -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800 X-Request-PGP: http://home.comcast.net/~p.cartwright/wsb/key.asc
