Tried XGL - How to turn it off now?
by Johannes Nohl 30 May '06

30 May '06

Dear list! After disabeling XGL in GNOME (with the XGL-Button in Control-Center) my Windows don't have titels nor borders, Alt+Tab isn't working, also everything which was animated within XGL before. How to get it back (at least until I bought the hardware needed - Athlon 900MHz 256 Megs Ram and Geforce2 isn't sufficent I can say)?? Thanks, Johannes

Kernel 2.6.16.16 on SuSE9.3 Athlon 2800-- iptables and udev (usb) issues
by Tom Patton 30 May '06

30 May '06

Not since 6.2 have I needed to hack the normal distro kernel...until now. Prior experience was very smooth, and I followed the suggestions in the 9.3 manual to a T this time. Lots of things have changed over the time since 6.2, and I admit I haven't been keeping abreast of all the changes. So I am taking a chance prior to posting tons of messages on the chance someone has run into this already. I used "oldmenuconfig" to set up the compile, and everything seems fine for the most part. I did make the kernel pre-emptive and "athlon" to improve sound systems. During compile, only a hand-full of "un-initialized variable name" warnings, and no errors in modules-install or kernel installation. 1) Parallels (virtual machine) fails, but that's understandable. It was installed from tar-ball, and probably needs re-compiling with the new kernel. (Other compiled progs, however, seem to work fine...ie Cinelerra as a huge example, or xine with dvd hack plays fine). 2) IPTABLES fails to load on boot, with tons of msgs of needing kernel upgrade. 3) USB stick, camera card, mp3 players fail on USB. Hotplug seems to work, creates "media/usbdrive", but the files are not readable... SYSFS seems to have correct entries and mount information...but nada to be read from the device. Folders in /media are removed properly on removal of the device from the hub. Printer and mouse on usb port work fine. PCI network card and modem(0) dial-up both work fine even with the missing iptables. (Is that just a firewall function?) I am dual-booting with GRUB the original 9.3 or the 2.6.16.16 kernel. Original 9.3 still functions completely and flawlessly. All hints greatly appreciated! Tom in New Mexico, USA.

I had him open that port up in his router. I didn't realize that Windows traceroute uses ICMP. In any case, I'll have him take a look with ethereal. -- Hello, This most likely is a bug in the router's firmware. I had a similar problems with Linux traceroute loosing packets when going through my Linksys router. After contacting Linksys tech support, they emailed me a beta release firmware that fixed the problem. ~James

yast online update
by jdd sur free 30 May '06

30 May '06

May be i'm very late and this is for months now, but I just notice there are much more in "yast online update" than patches updates. Is it really possible to install any package from there and to completely ignore the "install and delete software" module? thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://dodin.org/galerie_photo_web/expo/index.html http://lucien.dodin.net http://fr.susewiki.org/index.php?title=Gérer_ses_photos

Hi. Have had to perform this twice this week. It worked but it's worrying to say the least as we run a 24/7 server here. Could this be the end of the disk perhaps? Both times were after a SuSE YOU update. I'm on 10.0 Advice? Steve.

linksys
by Steve Reilly 30 May '06

Hi, just finished installing 10.1 clean on a box I use to run many other suse distros, and debian. I am having a problem with auto detection of my linksys wifi card which worked fine on 10.0. Do any of you know if support of this less than a yr old card has ceased? Ive restarted countless times, unplugged, re plugged, and still no detection. Thanks for your help. steve Peace Steve Reilly --------------------------------- Talk is cheap. Use Yahoo! Messenger to make PC-to-Phone calls. Great rates starting at 1¢/min.

I think the folks at suse forgot that suse is where it is thanks to KDE/QT, now they are bringing the Gnome-philosophy into suse and we are starting to see the results of that (aka. package-management). That's a pretty dumb thing, IMHO.
