I've downloaded and installed RealPlayer10 gold . When I try to play "realmedia" video streams I only get audio output no video. Has anyone else tried it and got a similar result or is it just me? (Just checking before I file a bug report.) Thanks Eddie

Combine ftp and torrent bandwidth (was: Ahain a new version of ma keSUSEdvd)
by ALFANO GIULIO 02 Sep '05

02 Sep '05

Ok, done. Robert said that a client that do this already exists, but my google search hasn't have any result. If this client exists we would suggest to use this client to user. Do you think is possible to ask mirror's administrator do add torrent to service they provide, this would solve eveyting. -----Original Message----- From: jdd [mailto:jdd@dodin.org] Sent: mercoledì 31 agosto 2005 16.39 To: opensuse(a)opensuse.org Subject: Re: [opensuse] Ahain a new version of makeSUSEdvd I think you should have opened an other thread. this one is hudge enough. in two words (in fact, a little more :-), bitorrent allows users to _share_ they own bandwith to the others. any user is also a server, so as many users as much bandwith. jdd

How to change wav file to mps
by Robert A. Rawlinson 02 Sep '05

02 Sep '05

I ripped some music some time ago when I did not have any mp3 players. Well now I have one and I would like to put the files on an mp3 so I can get many on a cd. I looked and had I done so when I ripped I could have done it easily. Now I would like to take the wav files and make them mp3 but I can not seem to do so. It would seem like I could use the same KD3 module as it knows how but I could not find a way to do it. does anyone have an idea how to make the conversion? Thanks in advance for any help you can offer. Bob -- Robert A. Rawlinson

Copying files
by Albert 02 Sep '05

02 Sep '05

Good day, I am using SuSE 9.2 and SuSE 9.3. The partition in question is ReiserFS. We have an image set on disk that we wish to backup. Each image is about 20 Kb and I think there are more than a million files in the directory. I cannot get a directory listing – the shell falls over when running ls (I’m logged out after about 20 minutes of hard disk activity and nothing coming to the screen). I cannot remove the files – the same as running ls. I tried to put it all in a tarball – after 5 days I stopped it. The tarball was 2 GB at that time. I need to use Midnight Commander to copy the files – everything else falls over. After copying for 2 days, I had a power failure and stopped the process as the UPS was running out of power. At that point the machine was so slow it took 30 seconds to serve a page through Apache that normally took less than 1 second. Can anyone suggest a way of copying this image set to another hard disk or DVD that will not take forever to do? If possible with a progress bar – indicating how much files there are and how much files still need to be copied. I could easily regenerate the images (it took 8 days to do it) if there were a better way to save these files on disk to make it easier to manage. Any thoughts on this one?

Re: [SLE] Microsoft Terminal Server access from SuSE 9.3

A pop-up with a key icon in the system tray would have warned you of this condition every time you logged into it. You can confirm if this is the problem by logging on locally and checking the event logs for license errors. For Terminal Services, by default Windows 2003 server comes with 2 Remote Administration licenses built-in, which allows 2 concurrent licenses for remote connections, as the name suggests, for administration purposes. If after connecting to the box you clicked the x to close down the session instead of logging off, it may be that the connection is still in a 'disconnected' state which you should be able to see by running the Terminal Services Manager when logging onto the box locally, and from there you can clear the 'dead' connections. Your password may also have simply expired? Trying to log on would tell you this though, and you would have received warnings, by default, within 14 days of your password expiring. SteveC

seeking for help configuring Network card in Suse Linux 9.3 professional
by Victor Montes 01 Sep '05

01 Sep '05

Hello I installed Suse 9.3 on HP pavillion zv6131us (AMD 64). The installer detects a network card, and everything looked fine, but when the installer tried to connect to the internet (seeking for updates) it failed. After that, i tried to change some parameters (DHCP, fix IP, for example) but nothing, the error when I tried to reach any ip (for example a dns server) is 'Destination unreachable'. Any suggestions/help. Sorry if it is a basic one, I am trying to move from Windows to Linux. I don't know if there is a way to validate the parameters of the network card or maybe if it is mandatory any patch or something. Thanks. Victor Montes.

adding hdd
by Carl William Spitzer IV 01 Sep '05

01 Sep '05

I am running out of space on this drive. I know I can just add another drive to the system and use cp to move the contents of /home as root But I want to know since this is not a install what file system would be best for the new /home ? I have heard some good things abour reiser file system do to with journaling and recovery. I forrmatted the partition when I created it on another system which had a windows utility just to be sure the drive was ok. What I am unsure about is all the command line switches for mkreiserfs and weather I should use the defaults manually or use yast partitioner. -- ___ _ _ _ ____ _ _ _ | | | | [__ | | | |___ |_|_| ___] | \/

Changing fonts dpi
by Keith Powell 01 Sep '05

01 Sep '05

Sorry if this is a very "newbie" question! I am trying, yet again, to get the fonts in SUSE9.3 looking decent on my 15" 1024x768 TFT monitor. They are thick and "blocky". I have tried the monitor driver which was selected on installation, the generic LCD driver and the generic VESA driver. Also hinting, and everything else I can think of. On another list, I have read that running fonts with a dpi of 96 could improve things. But I don't know how to change the dpi in SUSE. I can't find anything in the manuals, or in the list archives. Has anyone changed their font dpi, please? If so, how do you do it? Many thanks for any advice Keith

Ahain a new version of makeSUSEdvd
by houghi 01 Sep '05

01 Sep '05

I have updated http://houghi.org/script/makeSUSEdvd I have added options. This means you can now do this: - select the directory where the is's are - select the directory where you want to save the dvd iso - select the directory where all stuff needs to be placed The last can be used for e.g. network instalation. There is also an option NOT to make the dvd iso, wich can come in handy with the last option. e.g. makeSUSEdvd -d tmp/opensuse/10.0/B3_32/ -o /media/mp3/ -s openSUSE/test -i Also it is possible to use real CD's instead of iso's (could be that somebody brought them to you) Another thing I have done is re-written the recognistion of space available. (Thanks to whom has pointed it out. Don't know if you want to be named or not) It is ready for openSUSe 10.0Beta4. Please let me know if there are other things that can be done. A GUI is something I will not be able to do. Please test to your haerts content and let me know of any and all errors. -- houghi http://www.opensuse.org/index.php/Making_a_DVD_from_CDs
