[opensuse] Bind 9.x support for IDN
by Carlos Lozano Diez 25 Oct '06

25 Oct '06

Has anyone come across the IDN patch RPM for Bind 9.x on Suse? I'm trying to make the beast accept IDN (domain names with accents, as in pagines.cat == pàgines.cat == xn--pgines-ita.cat) but I'm not having much luck with the source I've built. I managed to get the thing to work under bind 8.x... but bind 9.x is cowardly refusing to play along. (Or I'm missing something - >50% probability). Here's an example of one that works => http://www.fundació.cat/ ...but those guys don't answer my mails. :-( Does anyone know whether SUSE will ship an IDN enabled build of bind with the distro at some time? Thanks!

Firewall Problem
by Greg Wallace 24 Oct '06

24 Oct '06

I have never used SuSE Firewall because I have a router with a built-in firewall, but recently I lost my router and it took a few days to get a new one. Meanwhile, my machine was exposed. So, I decided it would be a good idea to go ahead and enable the firewall, even though I shouldn't really need it currently since I now have a new router. Well, I am having problems with the firewall. I have an Oracle database on the machine which I access from another machine via Oracle's built-in Apache server configuration (it comes with a complete Apache server configuration). Anyway, I am unable to connect to the machine with the newly enabled firewall via that http server (the browser says the site is unreachable, or something like that). I set "Allow All Services" for all zones and STILL I can't connect. Can someone tell me what I am missing here? Thanks, Greg Wallace

Smart and "ldconfig && SuSEconfig "
by C. Brouerius van Nidek 24 Oct '06

24 Oct '06

Learned in the past weeks that it is necessary to run SuSEconfig after using Smart. During my DOS days I would have made a batfile where Smart would be followed by SuSEconfig. Could that be done easily in Suse 10.1? What wonders me is the instruction in one of the email's to use "ldconfig && SuSEconfig" From the short timespan I used Red Hat (RH 5.2) I remember ldconfig but since my happy Suse years I can't remember using ldconfig. What is the background of the combined instruction? Ldconfig does not do anything visual on my system. SuSEconfig does ;). -- Linux User 183145

SuSE 10.1 & Netgear WG311T w-lan adapter. Got it working but not automatically (at boot)
by botmund 24 Oct '06

24 Oct '06

Hi all. The situation is this. I've installed the madwifi rpms and Yast2 correctly identifies the wlan card. I have configured the card using Yast2 setting the encryption and all. Card just won't connect. But if I use KNetworkManager and choose "Connect to Other Wireless Network" and adds ESSID, passphrase it works. Problem is that this computer must connect to the network at boot and stay connected. What can I do about this? Executing iwconfig shows the card as ath0 but no ESSID or other information is entered. The file at /etc/sysconfig/ifcfg-wlan_*********** shows the information I have entered in Yast2. I've spent 7hrs on this now... Appreciate all help possible. (: Thanks!

[opensuse] Upgrade Question i686 to x86_64
by Carlos Lozano Diez 24 Oct '06

24 Oct '06

Hi All, Is there a means upgrade an existing Suse 10.0 i686 installation to a Suse 10.0 x86_64 without physical access to the hardware. My hosting company only installs 10.0 i686 on their dedicated servers and I would like to update the system to 64bit. Can this be done via yast? Is there a HOW-TO somewhere, to do it manually? I've Googled for hours and have not been able to find anything applicable. Many thanks! --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

How to convert scanned pictures to a pdf book
by Ronald Wiplinger 24 Oct '06

24 Oct '06

I have scanned in 300 pages of pictures and want to "bind" it as a pdf book. I tried some ways, but I could not make it with so many pages. I am looking for a way, where all pages named as A00001, A00002 ...... in one directory would be converted into one pdf file. Hereby, it should always add one page and not open all pages at once. Which program, script do you suggest for that? bye Ronald Wiplinger

Why UPG: users
by Fajar Priyanto 24 Oct '06

24 Oct '06

Hi all, I come from RH/FC. I notice that in Suse, when we create user it's upg would be "users" and not him/her. Why is that? Do you have any url I can read on?

SUSE Linux 10.1 = openSUSE 10.1 Is the same thing, the "GM" CDs are exactly the same ones you found in the BOX, you can found there real player, java, etc. Here you can download Suse Linux 10.1 for free ( gratis ): http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/SL-10.1/iso/ You can download from here the DVD with full non-free software but completely gratis. http://mirrors.kernel.org/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.1/non-oss-dvd-iso/ What you buy with the box is not the software, but the media and the support. What is different is the _Novell enterprise_ version " SUSE Linux Enterprise 10", wish is based on Suse Linux 10.1 -- Marcel Mourguiart --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
