Hi I am working on something related, but don't actively maintain slick as I moved to Gnome and do a 11cd installer based on SLED. A sort of Xgl enabled 1 CD installer of rc1 is currently on http://opensuse.linux.co.nz/xgl/ It is called sled.43762350.iso It installs base Desktop, Open Office, Firefox, Evolution and Wireless and Xgl support and has the current howto as Xgl setup out of the box: http://opensuse.linux.co.nz/xgl/readme.rc1 nvidia xgl is currently unverfified. I hope you can test it and provide me feedback. Andreas

Newby Problems with Wireless Networking
by Lugg William H Civ 309 SMXG/MXDCE 22 May '06

22 May '06

I am in the process of attempting to get a NetGear WG311T to work on a SuSE 10.0 x86_64 installation. I've read the posts that indicate if I install thekernel-nonGPL package, the card works out of the box. But this wasn't my experience. I never could get it to work using the products delivered through Yast. So, I downloaded the MadWifi driver and went through the First Time User HOWTO and everything seemed to go well. However, when I attempt to contact another IP with a ping, I get the following back: compaq:/usr/local/madwifi-ng # ping 192.168.1.1 PING 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1) 56(84) bytes of data. >From 192.168.1.100 icmp_seq=2 Destination Host Unreachable >From 192.168.1.100 icmp_seq=3 Destination Host Unreachable >From 192.168.1.100 icmp_seq=6 Destination Host Unreachable >From 192.168.1.100 icmp_seq=7 Destination Host Unreachable >From 192.168.1.100 icmp_seq=9 Destination Host Unreachable >From 192.168.1.100 icmp_seq=10 Destination Host Unreachable >From 192.168.1.100 icmp_seq=11 Destination Host Unreachable >From 192.168.1.100 icmp_seq=13 Destination Host Unreachable >From 192.168.1.100 icmp_seq=14 Destination Host Unreachable >From 192.168.1.100 icmp_seq=15 Destination Host Unreachable >From 192.168.1.100 icmp_seq=17 Destination Host Unreachable >From 192.168.1.100 icmp_seq=18 Destination Host Unreachable >From 192.168.1.100 icmp_seq=19 Destination Host Unreachable --- 192.168.1.1 ping statistics --- 19 packets transmitted, 0 received, +13 errors, 100% packet loss, time 18030ms, pipe 3 Note that 192.168.1.1 is my wireless router.

DNS server - persmissions problem
by Sunny 22 May '06

22 May '06

Hi, Suse 10.1. I installed and setup a slave DNS server as follows: Forwarder - my ISP's DNS server Slave for our 2 domains - as master is SuSE 10.0 machine on a different subnet (i.e. if the net on which I set up the new machine is 10.88.1.0/24, the master DNS is on 10.88.2.0/24). The routing between the 2 networks is OK, I can ping, etc. machines on both nets. The routing goes trough 10.88.3.x router machine. Now, when I start the DNS slave, in the log files I see: May 22 12:46:29 fwqa named[20985]: zone mydomain.com/IN: Transfer started. May 22 12:46:29 fwqa named[20985]: transfer of 'mydomain.com/IN' from 10.88.2.11#53: connected using 10.88.3.11#44250 May 22 12:46:29 fwqa named[20985]: dumping master file: rename: slave/mydomain.com: permission denied May 22 12:46:29 fwqa named[20985]: transfer of 'mydomain.com/IN' from 10.88.2.11#53: failed while receiving responses: permission denied May 22 12:46:29 fwqa named[20985]: transfer of 'mydomain.com/IN' from 10.88.2.11#53: end of transfer May 22 12:46:29 fwqa kernel: audit(1148319989.417:73): REJECTING w access to /slave/mydomain.com (named(20986) profile /usr/sbin/named active /usr/sbin/named) And I can not resolve anything for the domain mydomain.com. There is no mydomain.com subdir in /var/lib/named/slave at all, so I do not understand the permission denied message. The named daemon runs as user named. And the permissions in /var/lib/named are as follows: sunny@fwqa:~> ls -l /var/lib/named/ total 40 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 192 2001-07-04 02:27 127.0.0.zone drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2006-05-22 10:45 dev drwxr-xr-x 2 named named 4096 2006-05-02 03:33 dyn drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2006-05-22 10:48 etc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 158 2001-07-04 02:27 localhost.zone drwxr-xr-x 2 named named 4096 2006-05-02 03:33 log drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2006-05-02 03:33 master -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2517 2006-05-02 03:33 root.hint drwxr-xr-x 2 named named 4096 2006-05-22 12:46 slave drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 2006-05-19 16:42 var Under /var/lib/named/slave there are a bunch of tmp-xxxx files, all with named:named owner. What is going wrong? Someone had a success to configure DNS server in 10.1? I did not change anything, all these are created by YaST, so looks like a bug. If someone else confirms that problem, I'll file a bug report. But meanwhile, I need to make it run, so any help is appreciated.

xv missing
by Hans du Plooy 22 May '06

22 May '06

Hi guys, In 10.1 (OSS so far, hopefully getting my 10.1 retail box soon), I'm having trouble getting MPlayer to play through the xv interface. It defaults to x11, and if I specify xv it doesn't play at all. I have compiled MPlayer with xv support, X.Org seems to load XVideo extentions, but xvinfo says it's not supported. This is on a notebook with ATi m200/x300 graphics, fglrx driver loaded. This did definitely work before (in 10.0). Relevant outputs included. Anyone have the same problem? mplayer -vo help | grep xv xv X11/Xv mplayer -v -vo xv file.avi: X11 opening display: :0.0 vo: X11 color mask: FFFFFF (R:FF0000 G:FF00 B:FF) vo: X11 running at 1400x1050 with depth 24 and 32 bpp (":0.0" => local display) [x11] Detected wm supports NetWM. [x11] Detected wm supports FULLSCREEN state. [x11] Detected wm supports ABOVE state. [x11] Detected wm supports BELOW state. [x11] Detected wm supports STAYS_ON_TOP state. [x11] Current fstype setting honours FULLSCREEN STAYS_ON_TOP ABOVE BELOW X atoms It seems there is no Xvideo support for your video card available. Run 'xvinfo' to verify its Xv support and read DOCS/HTML/en/video.html#xv! See 'mplayer -vo help' for other (non-xv) video out drivers. Try -vo x11 Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device. /var/log/Xorg.0.log: (II) Loading extension XVideo (II) Loading extension XVideo-MotionCompensation xvinfo: X-Video Extension version 2.2 screen #0 no adaptors present Thanks Hans

Printer Recommendation Update
by Kai Ponte 22 May '06

22 May '06

Back in March I had mentioned that I was fishing for recommendations on printers for my mother, who owned an Epson r300 photo. http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-linux-e/2006-Mar/0501.html Well, I took her to Fry's yesterday and picked up an HP Photosmart 8050. http://www.shopping.hp.com/webapp/shopping/store_access.do?template_type=pr… http://tinyurl.com/jgsof It was around $150, I think. The HP rep was there and told me the features would work under SUSE. Sure enough, I went to her place, swapped out the Epson and popped in the HP. Her 9.2 system recognized it and prompted me to load the drivers. Within a few minutes, I was printing without a problem. Now, this model does use the HPLIP drivers (per the sales rep) located here: http://hplip.sourceforge.net/ Unfortunately, they only have RPMs for 9.3+ and she's using 9.2 right now. I tried compiling but the Python version has got issues. This is okay, as I plan to upgrade her system to 10.1 in the very near future. Anyway, thanks! -- kai ponte www.perfectreign.com || www.livebeans.com linux - genuine windows replacement part

Keyboard Mapping
by sam 22 May '06

22 May '06

Dear Reader, Sorry if my question seems repetitive, but I need to find a way to switch two keys on the keyboard, say [Q] and [Z] and [shit+Q] and [shift+Z]. A couple of people were kind enough to answer my post. They recommended XKeyCaps, XmodMap, and a Linux Keyboard HowTo, located at: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Keyboard-and-Console-HOWTO.html However, given my newbie status, unfamiliarity with programming in general, etc., I haven't been able to get far with those suggestions. For years I have been typing on the Dvorak Keyboard layout, where [Q] is actually a ['] and [Z] actually a [:]. When I used to use Windows, a program by the name of Quickeys would take care of switching key values for me (I wish such a pleasant GUI program, intended to reset key values on the keyboard, among other functions, were available for Linux). At any rate, would someone have a suggestion for me. Especially one that's not too intricate... Thanks for reading. Sam __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
