Official openSUSE webforum?
by Peter Flodin 23 Aug '05

23 Aug '05

This is my first email to the mailing list so it might be considered rude to propose a webforum. But nevertheless I think openSUSE,org should have its own webforum for these reasons: 1. New users are less likely to join and post in a mailing list. 2. Web forums are much more effeicient at providing messages to the user that they are interested in. 3. The various existing webforums at other sites, are not central enough to the project to build a community. 4. There are various things in the wiki, (like wishlists) that would be better handled in a webforum, with discussions around each wish item. At the moment there is no clue to if there is 1 or 1000 people who want a particular feature. (Unless each one is searched for in the mailing list archive perhaps). Don't get me wrong, mailing lists on specific topics are very useful, (development related lists especially). I just don't think it is the best vehicle for discussing issues of a whole linux distribution. What I am describing is a webforum at opensuse.org <http://opensuse.org>, so it can only be created by Novell at this point. Regards, Pflodo <http://www.opensuse.org/index.php/User:Pflodo>

Gaim update breaking something
by Allen 23 Aug '05

23 Aug '05

Hallo, After updating today, I realised there is a Gaim update. I installed it . I get home from school, and now when I sign onto any of my AIM accounts over Gaim it says something about a protocol plug in missing or something similar and won't sign on anymore. Anyone else having this problem? A work around? I haven't installed the Kernel update either, mainly because I did that a week ago and had to reformat when SUSE would start booting up, and then stop, no screen, nothing and no log in prompt, and pretty much had to use the power button to reboot because it would be just frozen. I reboot and tried again and got lots of errors and then it would just freeze. Anyone have this either? So so far the Gaim update and Kenel update don't seem to play nice.

SUSE Performance Enhanced Release project
by JBScout 23 Aug '05

23 Aug '05

hi all ! thanks for putting that project to the openSUSE-site ! I have tried to do some speed improvemends with my SuSE 9.x the last 2 weeks, and I was realy surprised about "my new system". my linuix-background is no background, becuase I've just started 2 month ago with the SuSE 9.x pro distro [ caming from windows, as many people do :) ]. so, with that "not nowing anything about it" I just try to compile a new kernel - starting with the last version with Con Kolivas patches. (dont ask me where I found the info that this would be a "good point for starting with it" ... smile). after a long time it takes for compoling the kernel, and some trouble because I didn't know how to do things ( putting the right driver for my SATA into the kernel, or how to make a working ramdisk via 'mkinitrd' ...) I get it running. my first surprise, because all was running faster then. the nect step I took was to install a new GCC-version. that tooks mutch more time, and after finishing it I compiled a second new kernel, now depends on the new compiler. my sesond surprise - again there was more speed. and: a lot of things couldn't be compile again, because they didn't liked the GCC-version (4.01, but needed a 3.x version). that was last friday :) so, after looking a short time, I found the "linux from scatch" - project. and thats the reason why I post this all - it would be a good idea i think so say somewhere on the SUPER - page, that it needs a ground knowledge about a lot of things if someone would like to participate into that project. and the "linux from scratch" is a good strating point I think. so, if someone is interested into this project, just have a look at the site http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/ or for a german translation at http://oss.erdfunkstelle.de/lfs-de/index.shtml there you find a lot of information that is needfull (or helpfull) on how to setup the right things at the right place. I don't know if that information is real needfull when there should be "just an improved version" of openSuSE at some point of the project. but it will be needfull for all that would like to participate at the project instead of just "consuming" the results. with regards from berlin, JBScout aka Tom PS: sorry when this text it to long and with to mutch not needed information. thats the first time I'm on an mailinglist, and more an english list. ;)

How do I set up DUN through kbluetoothd?
by David Kramer 23 Aug '05

23 Aug '05

I just got a Motorola E815, and am using SuSE 9.2 on my Thinkpad T42 After much STFW, I finally figured out how to set up /dev/rfcomm0 for dial up networking, and to connect via pppd. Way cool. I would like to be able to use kbluetoothd to set up /dev/rfcomm0 instead of having to use the rfcomm program on the command line. I can't see any way of doing that. When I click on "Open Recent", I get a Konqueror window with a URL of "sdp://Motorola Phone/", with 3 entries: "Dial Up Networking Gateway", "Handsfree Voice Gateway", and "Headset Voice Gateway". If I click on the first one, I get a dialog box "Open sdp://[00:14:9A:38...ne&rfcommchannel=8'?" If I click on "Open With", I get "is a folder, but a file was expected.". So how to I set it up so I can click on something and set up DUN with my cellphone? Thanks in advance.

Script to make a DVD
by houghi 23 Aug '05

23 Aug '05

As explained no DVD will be available soon. Some people still would like to have a DVD instead of a CD. I have written a script that does this for you. It is very basic at this moment. Known issues with the script. 1) The calculation of the script is not correct 2) Root password is needed for the mounting 3) Only tested with 10.0Beta2 If this script is accepted, or a script that does the same but is much better written, it could go under the /tools directory. If create_package_descr would be in a tgz file, that could be there as well and then people who do NOT have SUSE (and therefore no create_package_descr) can still make a DVD. The file can be downloaded from http://houghi.org/script/makeSUSEdvd I would love to hear comments on this. I know I am a bad coder and some things will be better done in a different way. I just do not know that way. So please test http://houghi.org/script/makeSUSEdvd and get it working even better. houghi -- Finagle's Creed: Science is true. Don't be misled by facts.

Linksys EG1032 v3 and SuSE Linux Professional 9.3
by Ted Garrett 23 Aug '05

Is anyone out there using this combination? I've tried this card on two separate machines, and I'm seeing the same symptoms on both. I install the card, disable the on-board (10/100) ethernet interface(s) on the motherboard, and try to activate the LAN card through yast2 LAN. Here's what I get in /var/log/messages: Aug 16 21:09:52 thishost [ kern.info ] kernel: ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:00:09.0[A] -> GSI 21 (level, low) -> IRQ 185 Aug 16 21:09:52 thishost [ kern.warning ] kernel: sk98lin: Network Device Driver v8.14.3.3 Aug 16 21:09:52 thishost [ kern.warning ] kernel: (C)Copyright 1999-2005 Marvell(R). Aug 16 21:09:52 thishost [ kern.info ] kernel: ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:00:09.0[A] -> GSI 21 (level, low) -> IRQ 185 Aug 16 21:09:52 thishost [ kern.warning ] kernel: SKGE: PCI setup failed: 3 While I've seen other messages regarding the linksys gigabit ethernet card, they've at least been able to get the card initialized. I'm not able to even get that far.. Both machines are running the latest released kernel revision (2.6.11.4-21.8-default) and are otherwise completely functional. I've tried both with and without apic, and I've even gone so far as to force the interrupt on the card to IRQ5, all with the same result. Please note that the card works on the second machine under windows 2000 with the supplied drivers, which is the linksys driver version 5.620.1202.2004. Thanks in advance for any assistance you might offer. Ted

Re: [SLE] Printing Troubles

Did you keep the original printer files or change it in any way? Lasers will print when either the buffer for a pageful of output is ready or a FormFeed is send to start the printing or you hit the Start button. Time to look. Adam
