by Jay Paulson 25 Jul '05

I have an easy question. :) I just downloaded an rpm that is not available via YaST install/remove software. I was wondering how I can install this rpm via a GUI and command line. Thanks for any help! j

Asterisk on Suse minimal installation based on Suse Rescue - what to add to be bootable on HD partition ?
by Robert Rozman 25 Jul '05

25 Jul '05

Hi, I'm trying to go route some of Asterisk users already proposed for Asterisk minimal system. I've started from Suse Rescue system image - I've put it into HD partition. But since rescue is spawned from working system it has empty /boot directories and is not directly bootable if put on HD. I've tried to transfer or install kernel and grub to this partition, but no success (I first access to partition with chroot to make additions...). I get errors on kernel rpm -ivh installation (I guess there are no directories and dependencies found in chroot) and also get error on "grub-install /dev/hda7": Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device Is there anyone more experienced with some advice, howto or example what need to be added to partition to be bootable on HD ? Thanks in advance, regards, Rob.

firefox suddenly doesn't work
by Patrick John Hays 25 Jul '05

25 Jul '05

firefox has abruptly quit working for me after months w/o problems. If I try running from command line I get: (Gecko:23512): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: file gobject.c: line 1579 (g_object_unref): assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed /usr/bin/firefox: line 254: 23512 Segmentation fault $MOZ_PROGRAM $MOZ_LANG I uninstalled and reinstalled firefox and get same error. I'm running Suse 9.2 and firefox 1.0.4-1.1. I also tried going back to base version 0.10.0-14 that comes on Suse DVD and get same error. If I run as root in a terminal I get sh: kde-config: command not found sh: kde-config: command not found and then firefox comes up but all my config info (bookmarks etc) is gone. (Since I have no intention of running firefox as root this is not a workaround) Could someone give me a nudge in the right direction to fix this?

Does anybody know if this system will work with SuSE 9.3?
by Gil Weber 25 Jul '05

25 Jul '05

Hi, everyone. I need to get a new pooter for my wife. Noticed this one available from Newegg.com and was wondering if the components are compatable with SuSE 9.3. Unfortunately Newegg provides absolutely no technical support and can't answer questions about anything! :o( Price is $1449.00. I know the video card alone is $360. Particularly concerned about the motherboard and SATA drive. Opinions?

installing truetype fonts
by Sunny 25 Jul '05

25 Jul '05

Hi, I have to install a lot of ttf (more than 100). I already have the files copied on my hdd. So, is there a way to install them without using the font installer in control center? Because it copies all the files in the .fonts directory. I do not need 2 copies and I do not need to spend all that time in copying either. Does someone know what will happen if I just create soft links in .fonts directory? Or any other solution? Cheers Sunny -- Svetoslav Milenov (Sunny)

i2o raidutils and SLES9
by Umberto Nicoletti 25 Jul '05

25 Jul '05

Hi all, I have SLES9 SP2 running on an adaptec 2400A using the i2o modules. I have downloaded and installed the latest raidutils from http://i2o.shadowconnect.com/download.php but I cannot get them to work. I have also recompiled the kernel to add the first three patches that are listed on the same page. raidutil does not report any controller, but gives the following errors: gandalf:/usr/src/packages/SPECS # raidutil -L physical FailureError: scsi io gandalf:/usr/src/packages/SPECS # raidutil -L all RAIDUTIL Version: 3.31 Date: 8/12/2002 LINUX CLI Configuration Utility Adaptec ENGINE Version: 3.31 Date: 8/12/2002 Adaptec LINUX SCSI Engine uname -a: Linux gandalf 2.6.5-7.191-default #2 Mon Jul 25 14:18:00 CEST 2005 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux How can I make the raidutils work or as an alternative is there a way that I can monitor the controller for failed drives (I have tried smatmontools already with no luck)? Thanks in advance, Umberto

Re: [SLE] How do i create a circle in GIMP?

I suppose my only frustration here is that I needed to do something that I consider very simple and I feel I shouldn't have had to read the manual, although I did so for about 20 minutes before giving up. My thinking here is if I have to read a manual for more than 20 minutes to find out how to create a circle of any size and colour I need, without knowing where in the manual to look, then I'm going to ask someone else instead. I'm not lazy, I'm just impatient. SteveC
