Where to get libcairo-1.0.so.0
by Trey Sizemore 10 Aug '05

10 Aug '05

This package is required by a lot of gnome packages (like gnome-session 2.11.90-1) in apt, but it appears that the packages needed (pango and cairo) are not updated and will therefore not provide the libcairo package. Odd that a dependency update is not provided in the repo(s). -- Cheers, Trey ---- "To err is human, to forgive, beyond the scope of the Operating System" Linux chameleon 2.6.11.4-21.8-default i686 GNU/Linux 6:54pm up 0:36, 3 users, load average: 0.00, 0.02, 0.14

Hello all!! When i finish with disc 1 and the pc reboots, i get "no operating system" error. This laptop has a 80gig drive, 1gig ram and a finger reader. Just thought i would mention that as maybe some of these devices are stopping the laptop from booting after disc 1? Can anyone help with this issue? Chris

Novice boot problems
by Keith Keesing 10 Aug '05

10 Aug '05

My ignorance has got me into a mess that is quite beyond me. I got a new upgrade box some time ago, with a microsoft partition taking up the whole disc, but no operating system installed. I reduced the microsoft partition and installed Suse personal 8.2 (from CD) with no problems and used it for quite a while. I then deleted the linux partitions and tried to install windows 98 in a 10Mb partition. The CD would get as far as displaying installation options, but when I made a choice all I got then was the cursor blinking in the top left corner. I get the same result with a dos floppy boot disc with fdisk.exe on it - as is the case with any dos or microsoft boot process I have tried. I then reinstalled Suse (using the whole 40 Mb's) and have been using it trouble free for some months now, but I don't have the knowledge to do quite everything I want to. Even if I do work out how to do everything in Suse, (which I would much prefer) I would like to understand what I have got myself into. I presume this is all obvious to most, so if some kind person could point me in right direction I would be grateful. Keith PS - would it be possible to reduce the native linux partition by 10 Mb and install windows 98 in that while Suse is still installed ?

Compiling SSH from ssh.org on Pro 9.3
by Napp, Julie A. 09 Aug '05

09 Aug '05

I'm new to this list, so forgive me if this has been discussed before... My shop uses SSH 3.2.9.1 from SSH.org as the dominant ssh client/server, and when I compile it on SuSE Pro 9.3 with gcc (v. 3.3.5 20050117, the default), there are no errors, but when I try to ssh to another host (running ssh 3.2.9.1 server), I get this when trying to use hostbased authentication: warning: Received error 1, message: "Unable to load host keys.". Using an ssh 3.1.2 client compiled on RedHat works without error, and I get the same results whether I use the old key (this was previously running RedHat) or a newly generated one. All permissions are ok -- all keys and directories have the same ownerships and permissions as all our other installations. And I get the error when logging into both Linux and Solaris boxes. Any idea what could cause this error? And why would a compile with the exact same options I've used everywhere else give errors here and nowhere else? ------------ Julie Napp Unix Admin julie.napp(a)jhuapl.edu

bittorent & md5sum
by jdd 09 Aug '05

09 Aug '05

two things: * while using bottorent right now, I can't use any browser :-(. the 102kib/s of my upload is probably the clue, but I don't know how to finetune this (mail goes well anyway ;-) * the MD5SUMS file contains a "MD5SUM" line (without the final "S"). Chance is there is an error in the md5file itself. I have 48 minutes left before I can verufy and I wil go to bed :-) sincerely jdd -- pour m'écrire, aller sur: http://www.dodin.net http://valerie.dodin.net http://arvamip.free.fr

Passing parameters to wine apps
by James Knott 09 Aug '05

09 Aug '05

I'm trying to set up Word Viewer in Wine. While I can run it and even get it to load the document, from the command line, I can't seem to open it, with the document loaded, from the desktop. I've been trying to figure out how to pass the parameter (file name) to the app, in the Contro Center file associations. No matter what I do, I can only open the app, without the document loaded. Any ideas? tnx jk

Outgoing transmission speed unexpected low
by Richard Bos 09 Aug '05

09 Aug '05

In a network I have 3 linux systems. 2 of those are suse systems and the 3rd one is a linux firewall/router (not suse). The suse systems are a 9.2 and a 9.3 system. The outgoing ip/ethernet transmission speed of the 9.3 suse system is only 1.0-2.0 MB/s as reported by scp. While for the incoming traffic it is 6.0MB/s. This 6.0MB/s speed is measured for the other systems (fw <-> 9.2) as well. I wonder what can be reason why the outgoing speed is so low. The network connection has been switched to another network port, but the outgoing speed remains low. Does anyone have an idea what can be the reason for the low outgoing speed? Can this be caused by a bad network card, a hanging network process (although the system is almost idle)?? -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless
