Qt on SuSE 9.3
by Shriramana Sharma 19 Aug '05

19 Aug '05

I want to do programming on Qt on SuSE 9.3. I wonder if *all* the packages for Qt (Qt class library, Qt Designer etc) come with SuSE, or do I have to download anything? I ask because this page: ftp://ftp.oregonstate.edu/pub/kde/stable/3.4.2/SuSE/ix86/9.3/ does not contain any files called Qt3 designer...

Apache2 (9.3) and reverse proxy
by Hans du Plooy 19 Aug '05

19 Aug '05

Hi guys, I'm trying to setup a reverse proxy, on a setup that looks like this: Win2k Pro SUSE 9.3 Masquerading Web App server <------ Apache2 <------- Linux http http <---> https Firewall Note the http to https conversion. I would like the site to be avialable only via https from the outside. Can apache2 do that? The examples I've found so far are not well explained, and there seems to be a module I need that isn't in SUSE. Here's what I have so far: ProxyPass /workpool/ http://192.168.3.22:8080/ ProxyPassReverse /workpool/ http://192.168.3.22:8080/ <Location /workpool/> ProxyPassReverse / </Location> <Location /workpool/> ProxyHTMLURLMap / /workpool/ </Location> It works, (no ssl yet), but for some reason it doesn't load the pictures, for example, if look at the "link location" for an image, it shows http://sensormatic.dyndns.info/img/login_logo.gif instead of http://sensormatic.dyndns.info/workpool/img/login_logo.gif What am I doing wrong? Thanks Hans

Belkin Wireless 54G LAN PCI card F5D7001 on SuSE 9.3 Professional
by botmund 19 Aug '05

19 Aug '05

I've managed to get this working, as I am a Linux newbie I'd like to share what I did for what its worth. I was a bit nervous whether it would work at all or whether I'd have to return the card and try another brand. Bought the card without looking for any list of supported WLAN cards. The actions listed are all from various Internet pages, no single solution/advice helped for me but a mix of them all. It would have been impossible for me to get it working without all the Linux info "out there". The computer is a no name 400Mhz PII(?). Have no idea about the hardware. Anyways here are my list for making it all work. The access point I use is a NETGEAR WGT624 (108Mbs), shared key 128bits, no broadcast etc etc. Regards Jerker D. How to get Belkin Wireless LAN PCI card F5D7001 to work on SuSE 9.3 Professional. 0. Install PCI card, command "lspci -vt" should list the device 1. Configure the card using YaST. Choose "wireless" as type of card 2. Install ndiswrapper rpm package using YaST2 (CD1) 3. Copy the files bcm43xx.cat.bcmwl5.inf and bcmwl5.sys from the install cd (I use /etc/belkinF5D7001/) 4. Execute ndiswrapper -i /etc/belkinF5D7001/bcmwl5a.inf 5. Execute ndiswrapper -m 6. Type ndiswrapper -l, should show --> bcmwl5a driver present, hardware present 7. Execute modprobe ndiswrapper 8. Execute iwconfig to see current config 9. (Yast) - System - /etc/sysconfig editor --> System --> Kernel --> MODULES_LOADED_ON_BOOT, add "ndiswrapper" 10. Reboot and make sure the network works Notes, - make sure the correct channel is set. - verify correct ESSID - /etc/sysconfig/networking/ifcfg-wlan0 contains setting for device wlan0

Sorry. :( ) However, I believe the same stuff applies - FWIW, I don't believe /usr/bin/codecs is exactly the right directory, but that was what I used for Kaffiene. I suppose you could use Kaffiene for WMAs. A matter of personal preference, really. -Chris PS - As I decided to look for the proper directory to stash the codecs, I've come to find that amarok runs on the xine engine. So, theoretically, if you've already got the xinelib1 package and the codec, and configure via Kaffiene, then amarok should be able to play WMAs just fine. (Right?) A quick and dirty Google search shows that some people have trouble importing the WMAs into their amarok collection, so heads up. (Accidently sent only to jdd - resent to the list for dissemination)

KDE vs Gnome
by Buddy Lindsey 19 Aug '05

19 Aug '05

Sorry to ask this I will probably get flamed for it. but. I have used KDE for a long time. I rarely use Gnome, mainly because I don't know how, but I was wondering what you would advise me to use. I like KDE, but I am getting into .NET development and from what I understand the GTK# library is much much further along than the QT# library. And just for general use what would you suggest?

Downgrading to Xfree86 4.3.99
by M. Todd Smith 19 Aug '05

19 Aug '05

Hi all, I have an application that requires me to use Xfree86 4.3.99 instead of X.org. I am unsure how to go about downgrading X as there are far too many dependencies. Is this possible with Suse 9.3? The install discs don't list Xfree86 as an option in the install. Would I be able to grab the RPM's from 9.1 and use them to install it? Basically I need to evaluate how long this process will take and how many possible errors I could incur in other applications in doing so.

I need help. I cannot install SuSE v9.2
by Basil Chupin 19 Aug '05

19 Aug '05

I am stumped and need help. I cannot install SuSE9.2 (32-bit). Last weekend I bought 2x 250GB/16MB cache Maxtor HDs to replace 2x Maxtor 120GB/8Mb cache HDs which now reside in my second (Testing) computer. Now I cannot install v9.2. The install stops at the point where the partitions are either being formatted or at the point where this has been done and the software is about to be installed - I am not quite sure at which of these stages all activity stops. However, the computer is not locked-up because the mouse still works and the lill clock is still going round and round, ad finitum. I can install SuSE v9.1, can install Xandros Deluxe 3.01, can install Fedora Core 4, and even Ubuntu 5.04 but not SuSE 9.2. I can re-install the 120GB HDs in the Main computer and 9.2 will install. I can install the 250GB HDs in the second (Testing) computer and 9.2 installs there without a hitch. I can install 9.2 on the second computer with the 120Gb HDs then transfer these to the main computer and with a small "fiddle" 9.2 will run on the main computer. I have looked in the Support Portal and tried the noaspi setting as well as the insmod=ide-generic setting as parameters to the boot command line; also tried booting at install using the safe mode option - but nothing works. Anyone shed some light on this state of bewilderment? I'd try installing 9.3 but getting it is an expense I cannot afford if it installs the same way as 9.2. Any help most welcome. Oh, I am dual-booting with XP, and the 250GB HDs were partitioned, and XP data transferred to them from the 120GB drives, using Maxtor's MaxBlast4 utility. No hassles with XP at all. Cheers. -- The first myth of management is that it exists.
