by jon.johnston 29 Aug '06

29 Aug '06

looking for a subversion rpm that'll work with Opensuse 10.1, or SLES10. or a routine... I'd rather it was packaged than having to re-compile apache. Thanks..

[10.1] An alias question & udev
by Adolph Weidanz 29 Aug '06

29 Aug '06

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hey all... I am still working on getting the Sierra aircard and the elan pc-pcmcia bridge to play nice. I think I've narrowed it down to a UDEV thing.. But I have two questions... 1. Has anyone tried the .98 version of UDEV? I noticed on the project site but when I searched the net the only RPM that I found was the one I am using .85. 2. There is a howto on Novell's website on setting up the aircard. It worked great on my laptop but not on the desktop. One item it said to do was to create an alias: alias pcmcia:m0192c0710f06fn00pfn00paD85F6206pb0BA21128pc07D22D0DpdD9533FEC serial_cs Now I know what alias does, but I thought it needed the "=". Also does anyone have an idea what all the numbers/letters are after the pcmcia. I really need to know what the numbers are because the above line is what I put in modprobe.d/sierra as the howto said, but the line below is what shows up in UDEV debug: pcmcia:m0192c0710f06fn00pfn00paD85F6206pb698F93DBpcAB3C6F47pdD9533FEC as you can see ;^) the 41st to 59th (or so) are different. Does it make a difference... Thanks for any help..

How does Suse 10 Enterprise compare to Suse 10 boxed DVD? What are the benefits of the one over the other if any? Thanks

Re: [SLE] SuSE 10.1 32bit and 4GB RAM, seen are 3.5GB
by Martin Köbele 29 Aug '06

29 Aug '06

thanks to all of you! I have tried several different kernels. Configured with the 4/4GB split and with sparse/flat/disconigous memory model. Nothing helped. I could not find a BIOS settings to re-map the memory for the integrated peripherals. Would anybody think, that disabling onboard NIC and sound and replacing them with PCI cards could help? The slackware kernel which was previously installed (and saw the 4GB) does not even load on this computer anymore (maybe because it doesn't like suse ;) ). I could not find out which mainboard is built in. I'm gonna open the box another time, maybe I overlooked something. So I am still puzzled. I booted off of the Suse 10.1 64bit after I saw in the bios, that the CPU is actually 64bit capable (intel's EM64T) but that didn't change a thing. Thanks!

Suse License Question
by Henk Roos 29 Aug '06

29 Aug '06

I just want to know about the Suse Linux 10 License: does Suse 10 fall under the GPL. What I want to do is load Suse 10 for someone else and then set up postgres etc. and load a program I have written for them and then charge them anually for the program. Can I keep the root password for myself.

[opensuse] Needing help - Cyrus IMAP on openSUSE
by T. Lodewick 29 Aug '06

29 Aug '06

Hi all, after beeing here on the list for "a long time" and puttung my two cents to a few points I need some help to install / run / admin the Cyrus-IMAP-server on openSUSE. the situation: I need a IMAP-server for a few accounts, that can hold mailboxes with about two or threee GBytes on data. the IMAP-server is only used for internal storage of the data. the server should also pick up the eMails from a few POP3-accounts outside. there is the need to connect with a windows-client and outlook to the server to get all old mailstuff, that is currenty on an exchange-server hosted on a public ISP (so it is outside of our hands). in the next few month there is still the need for the connection from outlook, but at "the end" there will be only a local hostet webmail-solution programmed in PHP that fits the special need for our purpose. the problem: there no good documention on how to set up the cyrus-server under openSUSE. the most things I could find on the net depends ether other distros or builing it up from source and setting it up from the ground. when I try to use docus for other distros, some files are on other places or missing complete. there is a magazine in german from "heise" called "c't special - Linux" with is based on openSUSE 10.1, and there is also a part witch covers the setup of cyrus - but even that didn't work. I can't get access as user cyrus to the host. what I need: some directions where to find a docu for cyrus-imap. or some hints what will be the best order to install and run cyrus. it should be run under SL10.0 or SL10.1. if it needs openLDAP - OK, but if it can run without - better. as I only need a few mailboxes, the accounts at cyrus can depend on user accounts on the local machine, but if it can run without its also good. could someone gave me some hints ? thanks, and best regards, JBScout aka Thomy PS: if I get a working solution, I will put the way on the wiki for others - of course ;) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Suse 9.3 which repositories effectively replace the old apt repositories?
by Sam Stern 29 Aug '06

29 Aug '06

Hi All, I need to use the Nortel (Apani) vpn client to connect to the development network at my work site. The last version of Suse that Apani supports is Suse 9.3 (Kernel 2.6.11-xxx). So I have a need to create a Suse Linux 9.3 install with a fairly recent software load to test a Ajax / Java / Flash nightmare at work. So after much reading I discovered that apt is being replaced by "yum" or "smart" (and "yast" for Suse 10.x) -- at least as far as using those services to install a more recent KDE with. Unfortunately I cannot seem to discover which repositories will meet my needs. I'm looking for guidance on which repository (ies?) to use to answer the following needs as expressing in question format: 1) Can I use the KDE "Backports" with the "KDE:" repository? If not, does "KDE:" contain koffice (esp. rekall, knoda, kxmleditor) already? I'm asking because there is no kdeoffice, rekall or similar packages in the "KDE:" directory tree for Suse 9.3 but these packages are in the "Backports" repositories? This is probably my core question as I can simply mirror the correct repository and use apt-server to merge the recent KDE back into the familiar apt architecture if the below questions do not have positive answers ;> 2) Which Repository contains the base system and security updates? 3) Where can I find the most recent version of OpenOffice (2.0.3)? 4) Where can I find the most recent version of the various Mozilla software (Firefox, Thunderbird, Seamonkey, Venkman, Dom inspector)? 5) Where can I find Samba3? 6) Where can I find the suser-guru repository? I appreciate any help you all can provide! Sam Stern Grand Island, New York, USA

Nokia N80 in usb-storage mode on SuSE Linux 10.0
by Rui Santos 29 Aug '06

29 Aug '06

Hi all, I recently acquired a Nokia N80 ( mobile phone ). I found out that the phone would not work as a usb-storage device on SuSE 10.0. After googgling few times, I found a patch that was applied to the 2.6.17.x kernel. I had to try it on SuSE10.0 Kernel - It did not work directly but, almost. I Just had to rewrite the patch for SuSE10.0 and it worked. This email is just for that if any user wants to make Nokia N80 work as usb-storage device, he/she just has to apply the kernel patch and recompile the kernel modules. Hope it helps someone... -- Rui Santos http://www.ruisantos.com/

DL DVD Burner
by Robert Morrison 29 Aug '06

29 Aug '06

I'm in the market for an internal DL DVD Burner for SUSE 10.0. If anyone who has one that's running nicely on SUSE 10.0 would be willing to post make and model, I'd be grateful. Note: I'm aware of: http://cdb.suse.de/searchForm.php but a search for "CD Writer" and "10.0" returns "no products found." A search for just "CD Writer" returns about 158, so who knows. TIA.
