Hi I am trying to add up a new installation source under Suse10.1 and after I fill the fields for a samba source, comes back telling me that it can not connect to the destination (which is a shared CD-rom on a windows machine), but if I try to map that samba point, it works well doing it on the desktop Thanks in advance for your help J -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq(a)suse.com

[SLE] msttcorefonts - How to install?
by Matt Arnilo S. Baluyos (Mailing Lists) 29 Jun '06

29 Jun '06

Hello everyone, I've recently moved to SUSE Linux 10.1 after using Fedora/CentOS for quite some time. I am able to install the msttcorefonts on my previous distro pretty easily but somehow I've had no luck getting it to install on my SUSE. I tried doing an rpm -Uvh on the msttcorefonts RPM but it complains of dependency failure on the chkfontpath. Would anyone know what package chkfontpath is from? Better yet, is there any way to automatically download msttcorefonts from a repository somewhere (I'm using Smart PM by the way)? or maybe there is already an msttcorefonts package that's built particularly for SUSE which I can just download? Any help would be appreciated. Matt -- Stand before it and there is no beginning. Follow it and there is no end.

[SLE] SUSE 10.1 Sound problems with Firefox
by Sylvester Lykkehus 29 Jun '06

29 Jun '06

Hi I have been trying for quite some time now, to figure out my problem with no sound in Firefox. I'm thinking sound embedded in flash, movies etc., everything with sound in it. Here's a summary: I have permissions to /dev/dsp's I am a member of the audio group I can play sound through any other app, using oss or alsa Sound in other browsers work perfectly (Mozilla for instance) Sound in Firefox actually does work, when i shutdown TeamSpeak wich only occupies /dev/dsp0 This leaves /dev/dsp open, which Mozilla, XMMS, and other apps gladly use. But Firefox won't. //Sylvester

[SLE] opensuse 10.1 busy laptop harddrive!
by John Pierce 29 Jun '06

29 Jun '06

Hello, I have installed opensuse 10.1 on an IBM T21 Thinkpad. Machine specs: Pentium 3 750 Mhz, 256 Mb RAM, Belkin PCMCIA Wireless Ethernet Adapter (based on the rt2500 chip set) basic thinkpad. Other than this problem, I am happy with the performance on this laptop, the problem however I cannot figure out. Any where from 7 to 10 times in a typical day this occurs, the hard driver activity light lights up because of disc activity and the system becomes unusable from 2 to about 5 minutes. I have no idea where to start to solve this problem, from another computer I logged into the laptop through webmin and twice I have looked at running processes during these freeze ups and see the X server taking about 80 percent of the cpu. Other than that , I see all other processes running below 1 percent of the cpu. Any assistance would be appreciated.

[SLE] How to use "man" command?
by JunJun Liu 29 Jun '06

29 Jun '06

Hi all, I'm using SUSE10 64bit. I can't use "man" command since I finished the full installation. please see below for example: ==== liu@linux:~> man ls No manual entry for ls liu@linux:~> man echo No manual entry for echo === I think it should be related to a man path varible, but I don't know what and how to fix. Any suggestions are appreciated! Regards!

Hi, I have installed SUSE 10.1, text only. When I run the Online Update Configuration, after about two minutes of waiting it completes successfully, but then when I go to Online Update I get this error: │ File /repodata/repomd.xml (http://suse.inode.at/pub/update/10.1) │ │ is signed with the following GnuPG key, but the integrity check failed: │ │ │ │ ID: A84EDAE89C800ACA │ │ Fingerprint: 79C1 79B2 E1C8 20C1 890F 9994 A84E DAE8 9C80 0ACA │ │ Name: SuSE Package Signing Key <build(a)suse.de> │ │ │ │ This means that the file has been changed by accident or by an attacker │ │ since the repository creator signed it.

[SLE] Installing Suse on existing Logical Volume?
by Claris Castillo 29 Jun '06

29 Jun '06

Thanks to the reply of some people on this list I have decided to install Suse using LVM. I already have a volume group (/dev/planetlab) which occupies the whole DISK. Is it possible to add a Logical Volume to this group to install suse on it? Or do I have to resize this and create another group for Suse? Thanks, Claris
