question about usb CD
by Tim Hanson 10 Sep '06

10 Sep '06

I'm in the process of ripping my CD collection using grip. Up front I should mention that I'm using HAL to automatically mount DVDS, usb, etc. Right now I'm using /dev/hdb, an AT drive, to read the CDs. In the grip configuration, the read drive is /dev/cdrom, which works fine. I would like to use my usb CD burner in addition, using --device modifier to grip, which would make the whole process go faster. I thought I could use /dev/sr0, but grip doesn't see that. What should I be using for the usb device? -- Research is what I'm doing when I don't know what I'm doing. -- Wernher von Braun

hi, thanks for the tip. removed the .gnome directory rm -rf .gnome , rebooted, and still having the same problem. its funny you say about the "sit" on the keyboard, as my cat has lately found a new home, and that is on my keyboard. if anyone else has any pointers, i would be very appreciative. thanks again. steve Rich G <rgoodwin1(a)cox.net> wrote: I had to remove the ~/.gnome or ~/.kde directory to get this back. I believe it happens when you "sit" on a key too long. I don't have the less intrusive details - just this is what I did to recover.

Software RAID on SUSE 10.1
by Kenneth Aar, Grafikern.no 10 Sep '06

10 Sep '06

*Hi* I am wondering about reinstalling my SUSE 10.1 box so that I can have RAID 1 on it. But I have a couple of questions first. 1: Are there any known problems with running 32 bit SUSE on a AMD 64 bit processor running RAID? (Why do I want to do this? Multimedia and flash support...) 2: Are there any graphical tools that lets me monitor my RAID system aside from Webmin? 3. Can I upgrade from RAID1 to RAID5 without reinstalling the whole thing? Here is my HW specs: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3500+ 1024 MB RAM 2 Samsung SP201N IDE 200 GB HDD MSI Motherboard K8N Neo2-FX GeForce FX 5900XT -- Regrads Kenneth Aar

Not sure if this is the right place
by Adam Benner 09 Sep '06

09 Sep '06

Hello, I'm not sure if this is the right place, but I will ask anyway. I'm running SuSE 9.3 and trying to get a Creative Zen Vision:M working with it. I've tried a good many things. I've installed libmtp 0.0.17, tried it with the libusb included on the SuSE cds, tried it after compiling and installing libusb 0.1.12, and nothing seems to work. The kernel sees it (/var/log/messages has entries of a full speed usb device using uhci_hcd and address n), but I can't. lsusb doesn't show anything, but I'm used to that since it doesn't show the thumbdrive I have when it's plugged in either. But I don't know how to find it otherwise, and the tools from libmtp don't seem to see it either. The responses I've gotten from the libmtp camp say that everything I've done should work and lsusb should show the device info since the kernel sees the device, but that I should probably stick with the libusb packages from SuSE to be safe. However, the same issue remains with that version of libusb even after installing from the .src.rpm. I'm just curious if anyone can tell me what I'm doing wrong. I'd even be happy knowing how I could see the devices plugged into my usb ports when lsusb gives me nothing (lsscsi works for the thumbdrive but not for the vision:m since it's an mtp device). I'm sure it's in documentation somewhere, but I've yet to find it. Thanks in advance for any help or direction to the right mailing list for this sort of question. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

nmap showing cups/nfs open to outside.

Hi, I did an nmap scan on my computer itself on thee ways and realized that both the cups and nfs services are in fact listening on the external interfaces (last case as MYCOMP.MYDOMAIN): ########################### # nmap localhost && nmap 192.168.0.1 && nmap IP.IP.IP.IP Starting nmap 3.81 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) at 2006-09-02 16:34 CEST Interesting ports on localhost (127.0.0.1): (The 1658 ports scanned but not shown below are in state: closed) PORT STATE SERVICE 25/tcp open smtp 111/tcp open rpcbind 631/tcp open ipp 930/tcp open unknown 2049/tcp open nfs Nmap finished: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 0.564 seconds Starting nmap 3.81 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) at 2006-09-02 16:34 CEST Interesting ports on trinity.skynet (192.168.0.1): (The 1657 ports scanned but not shown below are in state: closed) PORT STATE SERVICE 22/tcp open ssh 111/tcp open rpcbind 631/tcp open ipp 930/tcp open unknown 2049/tcp open nfs 3128/tcp open squid-http Nmap finished: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 0.562 seconds Starting nmap 3.81 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) at 2006-09-02 16:34 CEST Interesting ports on MYCOMP.MYDOMAIN (IP.IP.IP.IP): (The 1659 ports scanned but not shown below are in state: closed) PORT STATE SERVICE 111/tcp open rpcbind 631/tcp open ipp 930/tcp open unknown 2049/tcp open nfs Nmap finished: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 0.559 seconds ########################### Previously I could successfully stop smtp/ssh/squid to listen on my external interface; would you please have an advise, how to stop the above two to do the same?! I'm not afraid too much, because the fire- wall is on, but... Thank you, Pelibali

So Order deny,allow Deny from all is the access control in place. Try changing the AllowOverride line to read AllowOverride Limit (per http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html#allowoverride)

Network question
by James Hatridge 09 Sep '06

HI all, I've got a small problem. Computer A is running SuSE 10.1 with Apache2. I can see my public_html files without problem. Computer B is running XP, on this system I can not get to my public_html files. It gives me a "not allowed" error. I'm sure that the net is working because I have samba working fine. Any ideas?
