[SLE] Cups & parallel printer
by Koenraad Lelong 14 Jul '06

14 Jul '06

Hi, Since friday last week I have a HP4050 laserprinter connected on my Suse 9.3 server. This worked fine until this afternoon. Now in Cups (http://localhost:631) I get the following message : Parallel port busy; will retry in 30 seconds. Device URI: parallel:/dev/lp0 What I tried : Stop the printer in Cups, and power down and up the printer. Then I restarted the printer. Not good. Then I killed the 'parallel' child of Cups (maybe this was wrong), and tried to print again, no good. Then I remembered I could 'kill' Cups by rccups stop. Tried this and restarted Cups, not good. So what can I do more ? I tried to rmmod the parallel modules (lp, parport_pc, parport) but that doesn't work. I hope I don't have to reboot the server because it's busy right now. Thanks for any help you can provide. -- Met vriendelijke groeten, Koenraad Lelong R&D Manager ACE electronics n.v. -- 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] Kylix 3
by John Meyer 14 Jul '06

14 Jul '06

Has anybody gotten Kylix 3 to work under SuSE 10.1? I've tried the old LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.20 trick, but all it does is to screw up the konsole shell. -- 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] SUGGESTION, SUSE 10.1: Place Desktop Icon on left side
by The Nice Spider 14 Jul '06

14 Jul '06

Currently, "Desktop Icon" placed on right side which I feel difficult to access. I think better to put the "Desktop Icon" on the left side as used in Windows and Fedora Core. Usually Left Side of taskbar is used for "access something" (i.e: open browser, start menu, open email) while Right Side is used for "display something" (i.e: clock, current antivirus, current download manager). __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Always has been. > i am using Gnome :) the clock position of kde and gnome are on right-side, but Gnome "Desktop Icon" on the right-side. the 'big K' is application access (same as the 'foot' icon on gnome), but what i mean is the "Desktop Icon". "Desktop Icon" is an icon where I can show desktop without any opened windows. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

[SLE] Suddenly I have to disable Apparmor to start postfix.
by Boyd Lynn Gerber 14 Jul '06

14 Jul '06

Hello, I can not figure out what has changed to cause this error. Suddenly today after a power outage(2 hours) that caused a shutdown and reboot of the system. I get in /var/log/mail... Jul 7 18:37:46 xenau postfix[9301]: fatal: file /etc/postfix/main.cf: parameter default_privs: unknown user name value: nobody Jul 7 18:39:08 xenau postfix/postfix-script: fatal: the Postfix mail system is not running postfix starts after I disable apparmor without the message. I enable apparmor and try to reload postfix and I get the error. I have an other system with all the files exactly the same in /etc/apparmor.d/ and /etc/apparmor/, that does not have the problem I have apparmor running on it and I am able to start and stop it. The /etc/main.cf files are almost totally the same. The only difference is in the system name. master.cf is also identical. There is one other difference. The other difference is one has a masguerade_domain and the other does not. One machine. masquerade_domain = The other machine. masquerade_domain = zenez.com On a third machine I have in dynamicmaps.cf pgsql /usr/lib/postfix/dict_pgsql.so dict_pgsql_open And it too fails with the message. None of the machines have a etc.postfix.dynamicmaps.cf in /etc/apparmor.d. All three machines have the exact same files in /etc/apparmor.d and /etc/apparmor. Any ideas on what I have to do to get apparmor to work again and fix it for the third system that has pgsql in the dynamicsmaps.cf file.

[opensuse] Unable to open Dos! error message
by johnny.jones＠tema.toyota.com 13 Jul '06

13 Jul '06

Hello I am new to the Linux world and I am attempting to load OPENSUSE on my PC. I have down loaded the ISO files and used an ISO burner to burn them to CD. I made the first CD bootable. When I try to boot up on that CD, I get the message: Unable to open DOS! Any key to retry. What does that mean and what do I need to do to install SUSE on my machine? Thanks for any information.

[SLE] yast: "Another process is accessing..."
by stephan beal 13 Jul '06

13 Jul '06

Hi, all! i'm new to this list, and i apologize if this is not the place for this type of question (if it is, please kindly ignore me or point me to the proper place). i'm using OpenSuse 10.1 and have the following problem: Some days ago i tried to add an ftp site as an Installation Source using yast. Each time i tried (3 or 4 times) yast hung (i waited for 5+ minutes each time) and i had to kill it. At some point it got in a bad state, and now each time i try to use yast's Software Management or Installation Source features i get the following error message: "Another process is accessing the package database. Package management will not work!" There are no running yast processes except for the one i'm getting the error in. i can find no stale lock files for older instances. Other than the inability to add/remove software (or package repositories) via yast my box is working just fine. i am able to un/install RPMs directly from the command line. Can someone please tell me what file(s) i need to nuke to get rid of this error? i've tried re-installing the yast core RPMs, but that hasn't helped. i don't mind hosing my current yast configuration in order to get around this problem. Note: i am an advanced user, so don't be afraid to suggest an ugly hack, nor do you need to feel compelled to dumb down an answer for me. :) Many thanks in advance for any tips... -- ----- stephan(a)s11n.net http://s11n.net "...pleasure is a grace and is not obedient to the commands of the will." -- Alan W.

[SLE] HP DL320 G4 using embedded SATA RAID controller
by Matt Ingram 13 Jul '06

13 Jul '06

Anyone get SuSE 10.1 to work with mirrored drives using the HP DL320 embedded SATA RAID Controller v4.7-1 1316. Setting up the mirror is no problem but when partitioning the drives, SuSE sees both drives instead of just one logical drive.
