user logins screw up hardware info.
by Paul Cartwright 10 Jun '05

10 Jun '05

This has happened to me before, and it still happens with SUSE 9.3 and KDE 3.4 I have 2 users on this system. NORMALLY when I have to reboot the system, I log on first, and then my wife. This way, I have no problen burning CD's. When my wife reboots the system ( she still uses XP for a few things) and she logs in first, when I log in, and try to burn a CD, it doesn't give me any options for devices to use. I switched user to my wife last night and was able to burn an ISO image I had saved, so I know my burner works, but only under her login ( or maybe it is only the first user that logs in?) any clues/comments/suggestions?? -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800 X-Request-PGP: http://home.comcast.net/~p.cartwright/wsb/key.asc

YAST won't let me create a swap partition on the sd* drive. Should I just create one in fstab and pray it comes up after a reboot?

Unknown keys at APT repositories?
by David McMillan 10 Jun '05

10 Jun '05

My apt is falling flat over unknown gpg keys while trying to do an apt-get install of an rpm package. Problem is, I've gone through my entire repository list with apt search rpmkey-- Omnicomm:/home/David/Desktop # apt search rpmkey rpmkey-packman - The packman rpm public keys rpmkey-suser-guru - RPM signing key for suser-guru rpmkey-apcupsd - The apcupsd rpm public key rpmkey-bacula - The bacula rpm public key rpmkey-suser-sbarnin - The suser-sbarnin rpm public key rpmkey-suser-gbv - The suser-gbv rpm public key rpmkey-suser-rbos - The suser-rbos rpm public key rpmkey-suser-tcousin - The suser-tcousin rpm public key rpmkey-suser-scorot - The suser-scorot rpm public key rpmkey-funktronics - Funktronics RPM signing key --and updated each one's key. I even went through the list a second time, re-installing each key, and got a message each time that all the keys for that repository were up to date. But, when I try the install, I get: Omnicomm:/home/David/Desktop # apt-get install wificonfig-0.2-1.i386.rpm Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree...

In fact, it's not just these packages -- I ran a apt-get upgrade, and something like 50% of the packages downloaded come up with the MISSING KEY message. I've never had this problem with apt before -- has anyone else? Could this be a repository problem, or might it be something on my end? Do I need to upgrade apt?

moving swap partition from sys drive to RAID drive
by James D. Parra 10 Jun '05

10 Jun '05

Hello, There are several things I want to accomplish. First, I want to move a swap partition form an hd* system drive to an sd* RAID drive. Second, I want to reclaim the extra space on the hd* drive for "/" space and, lastly, not destroy the data that is on the RAID drive. Any thoughts on how to do this eloquently? # cat /etc/fstab /dev/hdc3 / ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 1 /dev/hdc1 /boot ext2 acl,user_xattr 1 2 /dev/hdc2 swap swap pri=42 0 0 /dev/sdb1 /data ext2 noatime,user_xattr,acl 1 2 >From YAST: |Device ¦ Size ¦ F ¦Type ¦ Mount ¦Start¦ End ¦Used by¦Label ¦ ¦/dev/hdc ¦ 38.2 GB¦ ¦6E040L0 ¦ ¦ 0¦ 79655¦ ¦ ¦ ¦/dev/hdc1¦ 150.1 MB¦ ¦Linux native ¦/boot ¦ 0¦ 304 ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦/dev/hdc2¦ 16.0 GB¦ ¦Linux swap ¦swap ¦ 305¦33593 ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦/dev/hdc3¦ 22.1 GB¦ ¦Linux native ¦/ ¦33594¦79655 ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦/dev/sdb ¦ 275.5 GB¦ ¦Logical Disk 00 ¦ ¦ 0¦ 35974¦ ¦ ¦ ¦/dev/sdb1¦ 275.5 GB¦ ¦Linux native ¦/data ¦ 0¦35974 ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ Many thanks in advance, James

Can't write to download directory for temporary files
by Martin Deppe 10 Jun '05

10 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. For example, when I go onto "http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/3608958177/028-8254727-6130121" and click onto the link named "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? I couldn't find it! Thanks in advance Martin

9.3 and mailman
by Dave Lists 10 Jun '05

10 Jun '05

Hi, I have mailman installed: wedmore:/usr/lib/mailman # rpm -qa | grep mailman mailman-2.1.5-16 But not only does newlist not output the settings I must add to /etc/aliases but there doesn't seem to be a file called wrapper with which to setup /etc/aliases. Is mailman broke in 9.3? Dave.

Starting ndiswrapper on boot-up
by Peter N. Spotts 10 Jun '05

10 Jun '05

Folks, I've just gotten ndiswrapper to function with my wireless pcmcia card, thanks to some on-line lists. Now I can kiss Driverloader good-bye, helpful tho it's been. But in reading Novell's ndiswrapper set-up procedure, the instructions don't say precisely where to put ndiswrapper -m so that it starts up on boot. I'm trying to avoid having to go su then do a modprobe ndiswrapper every time I want to use my wireless link. I'd like to get ndiswrapper going somewhere between pcmcia startup and network startup so that when the ntd daemon starts farther down the line, it actually picks up the external time servers rather than giving me a "failed" status. Perhaps there's even a way to get ndiswrapper to show up in the system services section of yast2, where it can be associated with run-levels? Best, Pete

FYI: Games for Linux
by Sven Burmeister 10 Jun '05

10 Jun '05

Hello everyone, in the past I tried several times to find good games for Linux, which, although it gets better, is not taht easy. Especially if one is looking for Multiplayer games that work on Linux and Windows. I am not a big fan of Wine, as I could never get it to run reliably, which could be a user problem but anyway. By chance I discovered SuSE packages for a game similar to Command and Conquer, which runs on Linux, as well as Windows and can be played on the net. It's called netPanzer and aims more at the battle than the tactics. Packages can be found at: ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/linux/suse/apt/SuSE/9.3-i386/RPMS.suser-scorot One can get missing libs from the 9.2 folder. I guess that most people already know the ID Software games like Quake etc. Ther is one game, where one does not even have to copy any level-files from the original CD. The game is an online ego-shooter and one can get it at: ftp://ftp.fu-berlin.de/pc/msdos/games/idgames/idgames/idstuff/et/linux If somebody knows more good games, please post them here, I'll put up an wiki-article to make it easier for people to find those games. Does anybody know by any chance of a game like Siedler (Settler?) or Anno 1503 for Linux? Sven
