[opensuse] Getting rid of "Marching Penguins"
by James Knott 06 Jan '07

06 Jan '07

Whenever I boot my notebook computer, after installing 10.2, I get those "Marching Penguins". While they may have been cute around Christmas, they're beginning to wear thin. Is there any simple way to get rid of them? Why on earth is there such a thing on something that should be used in business? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Hibernate on Lid-close - OpenSuSE 10.2
by Jay C Vollmer 05 Jan '07

05 Jan '07

Hi everybody. Yesterday I installed OpenSuSE 10.2 on my ThinkPad T41 and am so far delighted by the improvements over 10.1. Anyway, can someone tell me what has happened to the switch in power management configuration which allows automatic hibernation on lid-close events? I can't seem to find where it's located, but I may simply be having one of my spells and can't see what's in front of me. If someone would be kind enough to tell me where the control for lid-close events is located. Another thing: What happened to qemu? Has it been removed from 10.2? aTdHvAaNnKcSe -- JAY VOLLMER JVOLLMER(a)VISI.COM TEXT REFS DOUBLEPLUSUNGOOD SELFTHINK VERGING CRIMETHINK - IGNORE FULLWISE -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Re: [opensuse] Asterisk & fax

> > is that worth a Bugzilla entry? > > ... looks more like a support request to me. It might be. But I've had an asterisk expert looking over the configuration and his conclusion was to get another machine (read: not OpenSUSE). The problem is that rx_fax doesn't send a fax tone. It is called from asterisk as can be seen in the logs. -- Med venlig hilsen Kaare Rasmussen, Jasonic Jasonic Telefon: +45 3816 2582 Nordre Fasanvej 12 2000 Frederiksberg Email: kaare(a)jasonic.dk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Today, I restarted my machine and the problem was back. Currently running with "cupsd : ALL" in hosts.allow in order to print even from the host machine. Problem: With hosts.deny and hosts.allow activated cups refuses to print. Help welcomed!!!

[opensuse] Future hardware and support.
by Fred A. Miller 04 Jan '07

04 Jan '07

I debated about posting this here, but decided to do so since there's been a lot of interest in what AMD will do with ATI in regards to Linux. Well, after reading the below referenced article, the question as to AMD's intentions is MUCH, MUCH broader, raises my blood pressure considerably, and leaves me wondering will happen after Jan. and Vista is released. The article is long, but worth the read.

[opensuse] Cant start X in Xen
by Karl Agee 04 Jan '07

04 Jan '07

Having problems getting X working in the xen kernel. I have all the xen stuff installed, and when I boot with that kernel "xm list" shows the xen server is running. But when I try to startx, either in runlevels 3 or 5, it comes back with "Failed to load nvidia module". Basically, its there: /lib/modules/2.6.18.2-34-xen/kernel/drivers/char/agp/nvidia-agp.ko /lib/modules/2.6.18.2-34-xen/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia /lib/modules/2.6.18.2-34-xen/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia/nvidiafb.ko and sax2 wont work with it either. It tells me "screens present but not configured properly". btw, this is opensuse 10.2 with the nvidia driver 9631. I've even installed the module manually (insmod) using the full path and even though I get no error I still cant work with X. So whats the magic to getting it working? --Karl __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

[opensuse] kernel source bug in 10.2?
by Istvan Gabor 03 Jan '07

03 Jan '07

Hello: I wanted to build some simple program and got this error: /lib/modules/2.6.18.2-34-default/source/include/linux/vermagic.h:1:30: error: linux/utsrelease.h: No such file or directory I've checked vermagic.h that starts with: #include <linux/utsrelease.h> #include <linux/module.h> It seems the above includes are wrong since the directory does not contain the files.

[opensuse] openSUSE 10.2 - can't talk to remote cupsd
by Jay C Vollmer 03 Jan '07

03 Jan '07

Hi everybody. Yesterday evening I upgraded the box I use as a print-server from SuSEPro 10.1 to openSUSE 10.2 and have found that I can no longer print to that system from other devices on my network. Cupsd on the printserver is set to run in runlevels 2, 3 and 5 and is running. a printer is hanging off the parallel port, has been configured and functions properly when jobs are submitted from the server itself. Likewise I can reach the CUPS management page, but only from the server itself (http://localhost:631/,) but I can reach neither cupsd or the CUPS administration page from other hosts on the network. The behavior is the same whether the firewall is on or off. This all worked perfectly under 10.1 and I can't see what's wrong with the setup. Is there someone who might have an idea of what is wrong - or what I might check? aTdHvAaNnKcSe -- JAY VOLLMER JVOLLMER(a)VISI.COM TEXT REFS DOUBLEPLUSUNGOOD SELFTHINK VERGING CRIMETHINK - IGNORE FULLWISE -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] passwords
by Doug McGarrett 03 Jan '07

03 Jan '07

To all the folks who write code for Linux: I live in a house by myself. Nobody else ever uses my computer. I really hate it when some program tells me I need an 8-character password. I would be just as happy to bypass the password stuff altogether, but I have a simple password that I want to use on everything. It has 5 characters, and I can remember it. Please keep people like me in mind. Thank you. --doug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Changing users temp folder
by Jeffery Fernandez 03 Jan '07

03 Jan '07

Hi, I was wondering if its possible to change the users temp folder location from /tmp to ~/tmp ? When I was using mandriva I was used to having my tmp folder within my home directory. This way when I download a file which happens to be a pdf and gets opened by an other application like kpdf, the file gets stored in my ~/tmp folder than the systems tmp folder. This is advantages for the user to just go to their home/tmp folder to save any files they download to an other location rather than navigating back to the root of the file system to fetch the document from /tmp I don't know what dis-advantages it would have by being in the users home directory. On the other hand having it store the temp files under /tmp is a privacy issue I would think.
