Port Redirection Via IPTABLES
by Mel Payne 31 Aug '06

31 Aug '06

I'm new to this, so feel free to point me to the correct man page/ howto guide, etc... Situation: Web app communicating over port 443. Firewall rules block that port but allow 1443 traffic. Assume one cannot change the application nor the port restrictions. Can one easily setup iptables rules to redirect incoming (to the web app server) port 1443 traffic to 443 and outgoing traffic from 443 to 1443??

MP3 playback on 10.1
by Allen 31 Aug '06

31 Aug '06

Hey all, I'm sure someone has asked this before but I just installed 10.2 on a machine here and only Banshee and like one other media player can seem to do MP3s, XMMS doesn't play them. Are there media packs I can download? I started YOU and it says there aren't any updates to install which I thought was a little weird, so I'm checking here to see if thereis maybe a problem with something I have to do after install for updates. And of course to see what I need to do for MP3 playback on XMMS. -Allen

SpamAssassin-Still Having a LOT of Spam
by Andrei Verovski (aka MacGuru) 31 Aug '06

31 Aug '06

Hi, I am using KMAIL on SuSE10.1 and still getting sick each day of big amount of spam. I have created special mailbox in KMail (in mbox format), where I am collecting all junk. Then after some time, I am run: sa-learn --spam --sync --showdots --mbox /home/andrei/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/zzz-DefineSpam The spam database seem to be updated. But later I have the same junk messages NOT filtered by Spamassassin. Anyone have a clue how to remedy situation. I am using Apple Mail at work (with the same incomming mail addresses), and the number of spam at Apple Mail left in inbox is definitely lower than in KMail. Thanks in advance for any suggestion(s)

CMOS battery.
by pelibali 31 Aug '06

31 Aug '06

Hi, I had 2 threads already for this topic and even that my time-drift issue was finally solved simply by replacing the CMOS battery of my mom's compi, I would still need few answers. I tested our old battery, providing around 1.15V and also checked the new one, having 3V. I run with both of them SUSE's the croned default battery-check script and both gave OK as result. I just wonder how SUSE understands the OK signal if the mainboard itself feels that something is wrong and the time in fact was drifted a lot. (No BIOS settings were lost, but the old battery still had around 1V power.) What do you think, would it be possible to file e.g. a bug-report pro- viding some more details on this topic; maybe the battery-check script itself could be modified on a way to "feel the difference" between 1V and 3V! I also tought about to test the very same hardware with both of my batteries under Windows and see how it behaviours... Any ideas please what to do?! I feel that such a croned, but more sen- sitive way to test this battery would be extreme useful and help us a lot in the long run. Thanks, Pelibali

The most annoying thing about KDE menus
by Marius Roets 31 Aug '06

31 Aug '06

Hi everybody, It's grinding away at my nerves for some time, so I thought maybe I'm just missing an obvious solution here. The problem: In the K Menu, if there is only one application in a group (submenu), that application gets the name of the group (submenu) instead of it's own name and description. I know somebody will reply and say I must go to Personal Settings->Desktops->Panels->menus and select "Name(Description)", but this is done and it works; as long as there are more than one item in a submenu. Example: My only chat client is Kopete. In the "Internet" menu I see a program called "Chat". I now install Psi (another chat client), without changing anything to the menus. Now the "Chat" item becomes a submenu and I get 2 items in it namely "Kopete (Instant Messenger)" and "Psi (Jabber Client)" , which is exactly what I want. Is there any way I can get the same behaviour if I have only one item in a submenu? Thanks Marius Using Suse 10.1 btw., but KDE has behaved like this since I can remember.

Desktop Madness
by Dave Barton 30 Aug '06

30 Aug '06

SuSE 10.1 - KDE 3.5.x I normally run KDE, but I do have Gnome installed. When I go into "Configure - Kdesktop - Behavior -> General", select and apply "Show icons on desktop", I see this: http://www.cadmat.com/files/ksnap.png which is my normal KDE desktop. Now if I deselect and apply "Show icons on desktop", I see this: http://www.cadmat.com/files/gsnap.png Which is ridiculous, because it displays and behaves as a Gnome desktop (complete with non-requested icons) under KDE. The KDE taskbar remains, but everything else is Gnome. Can anyone offer any suggestions as to how I can stop Gnome running under KDE? Dave

SLED 10 How do I get Packages?

I downloaded and installed SLED 10 and I can not find packages to install. If I use Yast2 it can't find anything and checking ftp.suse.com I can't find packages to install. I just can find a few strange packages and that is it! If I'm going to pay $50 per year for SLED 10 I would like to at least know how to download packages I need. I'm looking for tcllib right now, but can't find anything this is getting ridiculous. Can anyone point me to a web page at Novell so I can obtain software packages for my Linux distro?

[opensuse] Thunderbird/Firefox styling issues on 10.1
by Frank Steiner 30 Aug '06

30 Aug '06

Hi, after upgrading from SuSE 9.0 to 10.1, the same firefox and thunderbird RPMs (our own packages recompiled from the source rpms in projects/mozilla) have a very different look (colors, frames, buttons,...): http://www.bio.ifi.lmu.de/~steiner/firefox_old.gif http://www.bio.ifi.lmu.de/~steiner/firefox_new.gif Since the user profile and the RPMs installed on 9.0 and 10.1 are exactly the same, it must depend on some system stuff, and I would like to understand where it comes from and if I can change it. Btw, on 10.1, our own RPMsl ooks the same like the official SuSE RPMs for 10.1, so it's not an issue of our own recompiled binaries.. I had similar issues with Opera which I could resolve with qtconfig. Is there sth. similar that affects the mozilla programs? I know about hacking userChrome.css etc. and did a lot with this, but some basic rules must be defined somewhere outside firefox etc., otherwise the same RPM could not look so diferrent on 9.0 and 10.1. Can someone enlighten me? :-) (Because I really don't like the new look...) cu, Frank -- Dipl.-Inform. Frank Steiner Web: http://www.bio.ifi.lmu.de/~steiner/ Lehrstuhl f.

[opensuse] yahoo webcam chat in action
by Jorge Luis Arzola 30 Aug '06

30 Aug '06

HI list For those of you who, as I, need yahoo ((and msn)) webcam chat working on linux to bring the remaining family members to open source: have a look at this IM yahoo client. You'll see what a webcam yahoo chat is under linux. It's a fork of the old gyachE enhanced. IT's written using the gtk+ toolkit and is far the most advanced yahoo client I have ever used in my many years as a linux user. You can get it from its website: http://gyachi.sourceforge.net, as there are packages for SUSE 10.1 or directly from one of the sourceforge.net mirrors, say: http://osdn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/gyachi/gyachi-1.0.5-6suse.i586.r… You'd better also install a patched libjasper lib, available from there too: http://osdn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/gyachi/libjasper-1.701.0-18suse.… You just need a working webcam(mine is a common logitech quickam); so install, tell gyachi in the setting page which is your correct video device, play a little to lern and enjoy thanks jorge Note that I am not a gyachi developer; just a suse user, and lately, a happy gyachi user :) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

open office printing on suse 10.1
by Steve Reilly 30 Aug '06

30 Aug '06

hi all, on 10.1, i am having a wonderful time trying to get a spreadsheet to print out correctly. i have installed on another pc (debian) an hp 3940 deskjet using the .ppd file specifically for this printer. i access the printer with cups. (no problems there) i have no problems printing using any other application, but when trying to print a spreadsheet, it is cutting off the left side of it, maybe an inch and a half or so. i tried shrinking the printout from properties anywhere from 25-50%, this does no good, doesnt even work properly, it still prints the same size no matter what i have the % set at. any idea how to run the ooo printer configuration utility? supposedly called "spadmin" ive been googling for the last hour and cant find anything about ooo 2.0 for suse and printing configuration utility. all ive been finding is that suse doesnt include it in the menu system for ooo, and the program "spadmin" is not in my usr/ bin directory where ooo is, or anywhere else in my filesystem. i am using ooo 2.0.2.7.1 any clues?

[opensuse] Copy speed (USB / openSUSE 10.1)
by Dominique Leuenberger 30 Aug '06

30 Aug '06

Hi List, yesterday evening I copied some files from my USB 2.0 MP3 Player (Arcjos AV380) to the desktop. Unfortunately, I was quiet surprised by the speed I got of this action. a hdparm -t /dev/sdc showed it would copy at 1MB / sec (which is about USB 1.1), while I'm quiet sure I was using the USB 2.0 ports of the computer (tried different ports, and the board only HAS 2.0 ports. Is there anything I missed in tweaking / loading USB 2.0 support? ok, I admit, the mainboard (Asus P5LD2 Deluxe) I have already gave me some surprises when installing Linux (I wanted to activate RAID0 over two discs, as the board should support RAID, but the installer detected a software raid).

Network Installation SLED 10 [SOLVED]
by jimmy Pierre 30 Aug '06

30 Aug '06

Greetings, Just a line to explain how I did it. I mirrored the SLESD10 DVD on the Windows Server 2003 in a sub directory SLED10. The latter being in a directory named INSTALL. Sorry for caps, but this is important as Linux differentiates A from a :-) ) Then I shared the INSTALL directory as INSTALL Powered the portable and inserted CD1 from SLED10. Now, the boot options smb:ip/INSTALL does not work. I tried smb//:ip/INSTALL also and loads of combinations to no avail. I aborted and a new and familiar GUI came up (BTW, does anybody know how to invoke this straight from the Installation screen?) I loaded the NIC module Chose Network installation The easy bit, you just need to enter the IP, the directory (INSTALL) and the user/password Et voilà! It took more than two hours, it's worth it than burning CDs. Cheers, Jimmy nui.fr
