SUSE 10/10.1 have trouble with 21 inch monitors?
by David Trusty 02 Aug '06

02 Aug '06

Hi, I just finished an install of SUSE 10.1 on a system with a 21 inch CRT. The CRT is a Hitachi Superscan 811. The video board used is a Matrox G400. The hardware was detected properly during the install. However, I only can get the equivalent of a 19-inch view area out of it. There is a 1-inch black border on the left and right, and a half-inch black border on the top and bottom of the display. I upgraded this system from Mandrake 9, where the display worked properly. I tried attaching the monitor to another system with SUSE 10.0 and a Voodoo 3dfx card, and still there are problems SUSE/Xorg to use the entire screen. I tried installing a driver from Matrox, but it had no effect. What is going on here? David

What happened to the "locate" command in 10.1 in the past couple of weeks? It suddenly vanished. I used it not that long ago (?a couple of weeks ago) and now I get the error message '-bash: locate: command not found'! Cheers. -- This computer is environment-friendly and is running on OpenSuSE 10.1

Printing in different Subnets
by LLLActive＠GMX.Net 02 Aug '06

02 Aug '06

Hi all, How do I configure printing across a VPN between different subnets (192.168.0.0 and 192.168.1.0). Linux and Win clients prints in the same subnet it is in (192.168.0.0) on Network Printers with NIC in the printers. When I print to the other subnet 192.168.1.0 with a Windows client from the 192.168.0.0 subnet it works. From the 192.168.0.0 subnet the Windows shares on a Samba server is also available with 'net use ...' on the 192.168.1.0 subnet to the Windows clients. If I want to print with Linux from subnet 192.168.1.0 to 192.168.1.0, it does not find the printers. Our AS400 also can not print from the 192.168.0.0 subnet to the 192.168.1.0 subnet. Why can Windows print and Linux and AS400 not print accross the subnets? The Linux clients in subnet 192.168.0.0 can ping all printers in the 192.168.1.0 subnet, but not print to them; but Windows can print on them. :-) Al

If installing 10.2 devel. can you download updates as they come out, or do you have to wait for the next Alpha release?

growisofs question
by Bob S 02 Aug '06

02 Aug '06

Hello SuSE people, I have a file "mymovie.vob" that is 4.2 GB in size. K3b won't burn it, saying it has a 4GB limitation. So, I try the CLI with this command: "growisofs -Z /dev/dvdrecorder -dvd-video -overburn mymovie.vob" growisofs also complains that the file is too large. ????? What is this??? A writeable dvd will hold 4.377 GB. Why won't growisofs burn this file? Bob S.

[opensuse] RepoKommander for SUSE Linux
by Martin Schlander 01 Aug '06

01 Aug '06

Hi I've made a Kommander script for adding repositories to SL 10.1. Versions are available for both rug/YaST and Smart. Check it out at: http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=43378 It should work nicely but it needs polish. I decided to release early - time will tell if I'll release often, too ;) This is only sort of a proof of concept. It would be better if a real developer could make something better. But I actually think it's pretty useful. I'm considering adding functionality like installing multimedia-packages and the like. Thanks to Benjamin, aka. benJIman for some pointers.
