I've had some trouble, when the same directory is being shared with samba and exported with NFS. Not sure if that's the same case that you're running into... The 2.6 kernel/NFS4 changed the way that locking is done by the NFS server, and I think that's why the changed behavior from earlier versions of SuSE...

how-to connect to Cisco Router ?
by Alexey Eremenko 02 Apr '06

02 Apr '06

Hi all ! I'm running SUSE Linux 10.0, x86. How to connect my machine's serail (COM1) to Cisco Router using router's "console" port ? I know the cabling, and under Windows (any version) I use HyperTerminal to connect to COM1, and it works, but how to do so under SUSE Linux ? KDE Konsole, which is a terminal emulator, is capable of connecting to COM1? or I need other software ? any recommendations ? -Alexey, 02.4.2006.

pppd dialin host how-to?
by Michael W Cocke 02 Apr '06

02 Apr '06

Possibly an obvious question, but most of what I can find on google doesn't help. Does anyone know of a decent how-to on setting up a dialin server (preferably with the calling side authentication config too).? I have to be set up for a cellular modem in about 36 hours and I haven't used dialup equipment under linux before. Dos & Win yes - I'm not hopeless - but I got into linux after I got broadband.

password database
by Bob Schmidt 02 Apr '06

02 Apr '06

Hi All, I'm having a problem with my computer running suse 10.0. I have it set up so that if it has been sitting for a while you need to enter your password to get back into the computer. It has been working fine for months, but all of a sudden yesterday when I went to get back on. I put in my password and it came back with a message that says "permissions on database may be to restrictive" and will not let me sign back into the computer. Any ideas? thanks, bob

Having had good occurences with a LiteON CD-ROM drive I have installed a LiteOn DVDRW and it is detected perfectly in SuSE 9.2. I haven't burnt anything yet but am sure all will be OK. Strange but true, when contacting LiteON directly, they said it was not tested under Linux and I should rater buy Windows and install it there as they have tested it on Windows. Yeh right, buy Windows, for what? :) -- ======================================================================== Hylton Conacher - Linux user # 229959 at http://counter.li.org Currently using SuSE 9.2 Professional with KDE ========================================================================

Introduction and Question
by Donald R. Bedsole 02 Apr '06

02 Apr '06

Hi, I am new to SUSE. I was using the Fedora products, but decided to give SUSE a try. I am using 10.0 and look forward to the new version when it is released. Here is my question. I do not know very much about the GPL, LGPL and how these licenses work, and I'm sure this question will reflect it. I have the evaluation version installed, and I noticed that Amarok (which is GPL) is set up by default to use the Helix engine (also GPL?) and the RealPlayer codecs (proprietary). I'm sure this is not a violation because Novell would not ship it if it were. But why is this allowable? Maybe another way to ask this is, what is acceptable when it comes to distributing and installing proprietary software on Linux and what is not acceptable?

pcre-devel & kdelibs3-devel
by Sergey Mkrtchyan 02 Apr '06

02 Apr '06

People, Sorry for posting this thing here, but can someone send me by email pcre-devel-6.2-2.i586.rpm package, which comes with the SuSE 10.0 DVD, I have some problems copying it from DVD. I also can't find kdelibs3-devel package on my DVD, since YaST shows that it must be there... I hardly ask for it, but if you can also divide that kdelibs3-devel into about 8 parts (each one about 600Kb, my mail system doesn't allow me to get emails more than 1Mb) and send me it in *.rar's in separate letters (8 in this case), that would be really invaluable assistance for me now. Due to some reasons, I can't download it from the Internet, and I urgently need to install Kdevelop now.

Setting a gtk theme globally
by Dick Kniep 02 Apr '06

02 Apr '06

Hi list, We are using a citrix like solution to distribute our application. Many users are logged on to our servers, but no kde or gnome is actually started. Our application is a gtk application (wxPython), and works nicely with a ~/.gtkrc theme. I want to set a theme globally for all users. How can I do that? Cheers, Dick Kniep
