No, they don't need to rebuild the kernel. A few years back I added a kernel patch to solve this very problem. Its in kernels 2.4, and 2.6. If it is indeed a new product ID then my patch will be of use. In /etc/modules.conf you can specify the vendor and product IDs for the visor module. I have these coded for the T5 for when the T5 was not hard coded into the kernel yet. Their IDs will differ. options visor vendor=0x830 product=0x61 -- 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] KDE Panel question
by Art Fore 07 Jul '06

07 Jul '06

I have modified the Internet/More programs/Skype shortcut via the KDE Menu editor to execute artsdsp -m skype instead of just skype to get around the KPowersave problem and set Skype to use the USB headphones. Skype starts automatically when KDE starts. I have not found what file tels KDE to start KDE. Question is, will the change I made in the KDE menu editor to the shortcut also apply to the automatic starting of skype or do I have to modify that shortcut also, and if so, where is it?

Richard, I suspected that there would be something in the SuSE Gui enviroment, but I would have never expected in the Samba thing! Thanks for the info, I will use it in the future!

Soon, SUSE SHOULD have a NEW kernel for update! There are some nice things in it, like performance improvements. But, for laptop users, for the first time, and FINALLY, there is some Broadcom wi-fi support.

[SLE] Re: [Samba] Help samba with 2k ADS

Roy Dergham wrote: > Failed to verify incoming ticket ( some times if the linux box is restarted > without issuing the "net ads join -U username" the error changes to > username DOMAIN+windowsmachinename$ is invalid on this system Hi Roy, I've been struggling with these errors for some time whilst attempting to get Windows SBS 2003 to backup to my samba box. I've discovered that if I access the share by its IP address rather than its name everything works. I would guess that this has something to do with DNS entries on the DC but as yet I haven't discovered the trick to get it working. Have you changed the hostname or netbios name of the samba box since you joined the domain? Changed DNS entries? Of course your problem might not necessarily be solved by the IP address trick but it might be worth a try. I don't fully understand how DNS and AD are related but I believe they are quite closely linked, I'm sure there are others on the list who should be able to shed some light on it. Also, there is more than likely some documentation related to the DNS requirements of AD on the website. Good luck, James. -- 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

Has anyone got this to work properly in a browser. I've tried Konquer and Firefox without luck. My flash seems to be either not installed or goofed. Any sugestions, I'd like to use it while logged into my SuSE box.
