Smart and keyserver
by Marius Roets 11 Aug '06

11 Aug '06

Hi, Is it possible to stop Smart from looking for a keyserver. I get the error : error: To enable the keyserver run: "smart config --set keyserver=pgp.mit.edu" and when I run that command, smart says that it cannot connect to the keyserver. I suspect a firewall problem in this regard, but really, <mindless rant> I don't care anymore. I just want to do a update to my Suse 10.1 system, and between zen being a piece of crap, and struggling to get Smart working, I'm right on the edge on insanity at this moment. </mindless rant> Thanks Marius

Screen res question
by Mike Dewhirst 11 Aug '06

11 Aug '06

I have just installed SuSE 10.1 with KDE on a fresh 64-bit machine and would like to increase my screen real estate from 1024 x 768 to something slightly larger. My WinXP machine shares the same monitor via a KVM and drives it happily at 1152 x 864. That being so -- I figure there must be a setting somewhere which will help. It seems to work fine at either 1024 x 768 or 1600 x 1200 (Intel 915G and CTX VL700 monitor) but not 1152 x 864. At that res it squishes the desktop in from the sides. I know I'm being difficult but I'd like to be able to achieve 1152 x 864 which is also 4:3 aspect ratio but more importantly it suits my spectacles prescription very well. Can someone point me in the right direction please. Thanks Mike

Smart question (or not)
by Marius Roets 11 Aug '06

11 Aug '06

Hi, I have just installed Smart. It detected numerous channels (not sure how), and I accepted all. Then I did something that crashed my pc, and I had to reboot. Smart ask me for the channels again, but thinking (well not thinking actually) that I already did this, I said no to all. Now I have to add channels manually, but I was just wondering if there was a way where I could get Smart to auto detect the channels again. There seemed to be some ones which I didn't know about which looked interesting. Thanks Marius

MailScanner question
by James D. Parra 11 Aug '06

11 Aug '06

Hello, Anyone here familiar with MailScanner? I have asked this question on the MailScanner list, but I haven't gotten a reply. I know it must be a simple solution, yet, for the life of me, I can't find the answer. I want to quarantine password-protected file attachments, actually, any file attachments that MailScanner determines as suspicious. Currently, the attachments are being deleted and not quarantined <not good>. After looking through mailscanner.conf I found; <snip> # Reports and Responses # --------------------- # # Do you want to store copies of the infected attachments and messages? # This can also be the filename of a ruleset. Quarantine Infections = yes <snip> However, an attachment was deleted and not stored in /var/spool/MailScanner/quaratine/, according the text message; This is a message from MailScanner E-Mail Virus Protection Service ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The original e-mail message contained potentially dangerous content, which has been removed for your safety. The content is dangerous as it is often used to spread viruses or to gain personal or confidential information from you, such as passwords or credit card numbers. Due to limitations placed on us by the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000, we were unable to keep a copy of the original attachment. The content filters found this: MailScanner: Message contained password-protected archive ~~~ Where in the conf can I fix this? Many thanks in advance. James

Kernel compilation error for cloneconfig in SuSE 10.1
by David Keller 11 Aug '06

11 Aug '06

Hello Since the non-gpl-kernel modules are missing in SuSE 10.1, I tried to build libafs of the OpenAFS-package from source for i386. This requires the configured and at least partially built kernel source in /usr/src/linux. So I got the package kernel-source with YaST. uname -r says: 2.6.16.13-4-default. gcc -v : gcc version 4.1.0 (SUSE Linux) In /usr/src/linux I run > make cloneconfig > make module modules_prepare as root. This results in the following compilation error: CHK /usr/src/linux-2.6.16.21-0.13/include/linux/version.h CC arch/i386/kernel/asm-offsets.s In file included from ./include/asm/system.h:5, from ./include/asm/processor.h:18, from ./include/asm/thread_info.h:17, from ./include/linux/thread_info.h:21, from ./include/linux/preempt.h:10, from ./include/linux/spinlock.h:50, from ./include/linux/capability.h:45, from ./include/linux/sched.h:7, from arch/i386/kernel/asm-offsets.c:7: ./include/linux/kernel.h:10:20: error: stdarg.h: No such file or directory In file included from ./include/asm/system.h:5, from ./include/asm/processor.h:18, from ./include/asm/thread_info.h:17, from ./include/linux/thread_info.h:21, from ./include/linux/preempt.h:10, from ./include/linux/spinlock.h:50, from ./include/linux/capability.h:45, from ./include/linux/sched.h:7, from arch/i386/kernel/asm-offsets.c:7: ./include/linux/kernel.h:104: error: expected declaration specifiers or ‘...’ before ‘va_list’ ./include/linux/kernel.h:108: error: expected declaration specifiers or ‘...’ before ‘va_list’ ./include/linux/kernel.h:112: error: expected declaration specifiers or ‘...’ before ‘va_list’ ./include/linux/kernel.h:117: error: expected declaration specifiers or ‘...’ before ‘va_list’ ./include/linux/kernel.h:131: error: expected declaration specifiers or ‘...’ before ‘va_list’ make[1]: *** [arch/i386/kernel/asm-offsets.s] Error 1 make: *** [prepare0] Error 2 Does anyone know how to fix this problem or is there somewhere a binary version of libafs for SuSE 10.1? Thanks D.Keller

Intel 3945ABG WiFi driver
by Koenraad Lelong 11 Aug '06

11 Aug '06

Hi, I installed Suse10.1 on my new Asus V6J laptop. Yast seems to recongise the WiFi, but I can't bring it up. I found a module for it (? ipw3945) and did a modprobe, wich caused two other modules to be loaded (ieee80211 and firmware_class). What do I do next ? I googled and in sourceforge there is a project for that WiFi-driver. Should I try that ? Anyone had success with that interface ? Thanks for any help. -- Met vriendelijke groeten, Koenraad Lelong R&D Manager ACE electronics n.v.

I think it's a nice idea for people to be able to get a Source DVD if they want to. But your text lacks some logic: -> If you don't have internet access, send an email to sourcedvd(a)suse.de ??? how is somebody supposed to do that? Maybe novell's lawyers should get some feedback on that requirement, as license texts are not always as easy understandable as they appear. I think, the professionals should take care of such things after they got announced about a possible problem (which happened with this thread on the mailing list) Regards, Dominique
