Hi, I'm afraid I can't help you but I can tell you that I have a similar problem that I gave up on some time ago. I found that windows 2k could transfer the files perfectly well to my samba box so I guess it must be an NT problem. I posted this to the list: http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2006-May/120717.html and only received one reply: http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2006-May/120748.html Having verified that I was running SP6, I lost interest and tried to persuade my boss to fund an upgrade to our windows servers instead. I'm assured that the upgrade will happen some time this year :-) but I'd still be very interested to hear from you if you manage to fix the problem. Good luck, James.

Where is php5-recode in SuSE 10.0?
by Sbs Bofh 24 Aug '06

24 Aug '06

I'm installing a CMS on a SuSE 10.0 box - the box has apache2 and php5 installed. The CMS seems to have a dependency on php-recode - yet php5 doesn't seem to include this. php4 DOES include the php-recode module; why is it not there for PHP5? Can anyone say whether php5-recode is present in SuSE 10.1? Thanks, Jim

[opensuse] Why Red Hat will go bust because of Ubuntu
by SOTL 24 Aug '06

24 Aug '06

Hi All A couple of days back there were some comments made as to why SuSE 10.1 was not being accepted by the Windows world as expected. Being an electrical engineer (computer controls) I can recall being on a construction project in a temperature hot third world country and the boss purchased an air condition unit which he had installed in his office which due to improper installation (maybe) immediately cough fire and burned up. Madder than hell he immediately fired the installation electricians, their foreman, and the electrical engineer they worked for. All four were off (physically) the project immediately. Back in the computer world these thoughts are what come to mind with Red Had and SuSE. I can not imagine what Jack (the boss noted above) would do if he had purchased Red Hat or SuSE and attempted to install it on his laptop. Fire the whole IT department? I do not know but I am sure glad that that did not happen while I was working for him. Not likely since that was 30 years ago. Nice guy. Big. Weighed 300 pounds. Former world class weight lifter. Madder than hell about his air conditioning. Back to the subject (above) you can read all about it by reading the article Why Red Hat will go bust because of Ubuntu at: Free Software Magazine http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/articles/editorial_13 As far as SuSE 10.1 is concerned well there are the old issues of: Factory installed win modem not working in IBM laptops even though IBM is one of Linux's biggest supporters Video card and driver not working in same computer et. I am certain this is an agervation to the SuSE development team but in most of the world the principal means of connecting a laptop to the Internet is by dial up modem for the simple reason that laptops move around (that is why people buy laptops to move them from place to place) especially to temporary locations where there is no DSL. Not the same as setting in an office with a T1 line. So no modem means no Internet which means Windows works and Linux does not. Video card not as severe an issue. SuSE 10.1 simply chooses the wrong one. Its is there all one has to do is manually select the right one. Not near the issue of finding the right version of the right program (and that is a big issue in itself one time it took me 3 months to get the right one for a Mandrake distribution as Mandrive had made a few special modifications to the program to make it work correctly) down loading a program, install the program and then making the complete system work and be a computer illiterate. Having all this compiled into a working system is why people purchase boss sets of Linus. So for those who feel we are discussing open source development in the form of say a Debian distribution we are not this is more in the form of a Windows reinstall disk that one purchases. Recall RED HAT and SuSE are commercial products a completely different world than Fedora and OpenSuSE. Quality in the commercial world is being able for an idiot to install the product and make it work. Any way these are some thoughts on why SuSE is going the route of Red Hat. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Now even smart is boken :-(
by HG 24 Aug '06

24 Aug '06

Hi! Just as we learned to use smart instead of YaST, now I'm getting these problems with key signatures. I have no idea how to get stuff updated anymore. I'm sure I barking at the wrong tree and I'm making people angry here, but please try to leave the package management systems at any stable configuration for at least 2 months, ok? In the mean while, how do I get smart working again as it's giving me this: Committing transaction... warning: rpmts_HdrFromFdno: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 5277a2fa Trying to import the key 888366c05277a2fa from subkeys.pgp.net... gpg: requesting key 5277A2FA from hkp server subkeys.pgp.net gpg: key 5277A2FA: "Manfred Tremmel <Manfred.Tremmel(a)iiv.de>" not changed gpg: Total number processed: 1 gpg: unchanged: 1 The above GPG key has been imported successfully. It is required to install this package: libffmpeg0-0.4.9-7.pm.svn20060817.i686.rpm Do you want to trust this key forever? You must verify the below fingerprint before answering. pub 1024D/5277A2FA 1999-07-26 [expires: ????-??-??] Key fingerprint = 5296 01E5 5911 A1DC 93D4 45D5 8883 66C0 5277 A2FA uid Manfred Tremmel <Manfred.Tremmel(a)iiv.de> sub 3072g/81D6CA10 1999-07-26 If you answer "Yes" all other packages signed with this key will be installed automatically. (y/N): Y error: libffmpeg0-0.4.9-7.pm.svn20060817.i686.rpm: public key not available In short, it's now impossible to do upgrade with smart as it stops there. -- HG. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

You were right about the blue check marks but I added a couple of black check marks for applications security updates for applications I installed this evening (Zope) and the updates still did not install. The vote is not in on OnLine update working or not. Any idea why the updates are still showing in the update list (in red with blue check marks), they normally dissappear from the list after being installed. And I am still getting exception handler for the Zen updater on login: > > System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an > > instance of an object > > in <0x003d6> Novell.Zenworks.Gui.ZenTrayIcon:CheckUpdatesLoop () > > in (wrapper delegate-invoke) System.MulticastDelegate:invoke_void () and I don't get the update icon on the panel so that is still not working. Appreciate your help on this. Clint

Issue with HP Deskjet 3920
by Fajar Priyanto 24 Aug '06

24 Aug '06

Hi all, I'm using OpenSuse 10.1 with no updates. I have been pulling my hair out because of issue with HP Deskjet 3920. Suse recognizes the printer OK. Even with a test page which is printed ok. But then when I try to print from OOo writer or any other program, the printer buzzed, blinking, retracted the paper half way, then stops with its lamp blinking. If I press the blinking button it buzzing again, retracted the paper, and stops again. I have restarted Suse, on-off the printer with the same behaviour. I'm curious whether any of you has the same experience? Did you able to resolve it? Thank you very much, -- Fajar Priyanto | Reg'd Linux User #327841 | Linux tutorial http://linux2.arinet.org 4:38pm up 8:23, 2.6.16.13-4-default GNU/Linux Let's use OpenOffice. http://www.openoffice.org
