Anybody using sendmail + AMaViS on 9.2 or 9.3?
by Hartmut Meyer 21 Aug '05

21 Aug '05

Hi, I wonder if anyone on this list can report success or failure on running sendmail + AMaViS on 9.2 or 9.3 by only using the YaST2 MTA module. I have not seen any bugreports about this in our bugzilla but one customer has reported problems with this combination to me. Quote: I would greatly appreciate if you could show me just one working reference installation where sendmail+amavis-new works "out of the box" using nothing else but YaST to configure it. (Not only starting without errors, but actively filtering viruses from emails). Greetings from Stuhr hartmut

Kaffeine hangs
by Gunnar Håland 21 Aug '05

21 Aug '05

I am streaming some radio stations from the Internet, and I have used kaffeine as pluginn. If I go to http://www.countrystasjonen.net and press "Lytt her", I used to get kaffeine to play the music. I did an upgrade with Yast earlier, it was an update on the kernel, and all things was messed up. I managed to get me system Suse 9.2 up and working again, but when I try to use kaffeine the sound start for a second and then it start repeating. If I try to listen to this link above, kaffeine start with buffering 100% and then it hangs, I must "kill" to get it of my screen. The same happens when I try to play a dvd with xine, the sound start to loop, but Mplayer is ok. Can some one help me. Gunnar

Two swap partitions?
by Shriramana Sharma 21 Aug '05

21 Aug '05

When I installed SuSE 9.3, I created a swap partition /dev/sda7. When I installed Fedora Core 4, I created a swap partition /dev/sda12. Is it okay if I edit fstab in both SuSE and FC4 to load both these partitions as swap? (Currently IIRC SuSE uses only /dev/sda7 and FC4 uses only /dev/sda12.) The contents of a swap partition are emptied at shutdown, right? So when I startup another OS which can use the same partition for swap it will not cause any problems, right? If the contents of a swap partition are emptied at bootup instead, then even if the previous shutdown was faulty (power off without unmount or something like that) then the swap partition can still be accessed. Please advise. -- Shriramana Sharma http://samvit.org (o- Penguin #395953 //\ running on ancient Indian wisdom V_/_ and modern computing efficiency

by Mark A. Taff 21 Aug '05

21 Aug '05

For posterity's sake, here is how to get sound working on a Toshiba Tecra 8000 laptop w/SuSE 9.3. Thanks to Martin Reiche fo doing the heavy lifting (I only ported the instructions to SuSE). Yes it is for an old laptop, but it sound make a nice sound server. ;-) As root, add the following lines to /etc/modprobe.conf.local #BEGIN # ALSA Config alias snd-card-0 snd-opl3sa2 # For OSS drivers alias char-major-14 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 # Aliases for sound card #1 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss # Options options snd-opl3sa2 dma1=1 dma2=0 fm_port=0x388 irq=5 isapnp=0 midi_port=0x330 port=0x538 sb_port=0x220 wss_port=0x530 #END Note that there is only one long line under "# Options" Reboot. Then use your favorite mixer (KMix ?)to adjust vol & pcm settings. Regards, -- Mark A.

Hmm. Looks like I'll have to challenge that mention in Wikipedia. I've started a discussion at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Comparison_of_file_systems. Please contribute, all.
