[opensuse] Kaboodle package that plays mp3 files
by Ian 06 Jan '07

06 Jan '07

G'day, Does anyone know where I can get a package to install Kaboodle on Suse 10.2 that will play mp3 files? The kdemultimedia3 package on the Suse site doesn't want to open any mp3 files. I rely on kaboodle to play files from a remote web server that requires authentication and only kaboodle seems to work with konqueror. If I open the file in realplayer or noatun from Konqueror, they prompt me for a username & password, but the authentication fails. Kaboodle (at least on FreeBSD) just works without prompting for authentication - it obviously gets konqui to do that for it. I can use Firefox to play them in real-player, but it downloads the entire file and then opens it in realplayer, whereas kaboodle on my FreeBSD system plays the file as it downloads which is very nice :-) Cheers, -- Ian gpg key: http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~imoore/no-spam.asc

[opensuse] suse 10.2 does not work with canon 240 but earlier version work without problem
by James Lomas 06 Jan '07

06 Jan '07

I have recently downloaded and installed Suse 10.2, and am using a GNOME desktop. The install went well and is a big improvement on Suse 8.1 which is my original version, and is installed along side 10.2. When it comes to printing, Suse 10.2 detects my canon bjc 240 but when it comes to testing printer connection nothing happens. so I click OK and receive the following error. "There was a problem while sending a message to the printer. The operation has timed out" etc. I have no problem printing when I boot into either Suse 8.1 or Windows XP so I wonder if there might be a conflict between the two linux kernals. Can anybody suggest troubleshooting options as I have trawled the net without much success. Thank you all in advance. ___________________________________________________________ All new Yahoo!

[opensuse] What happened to synce, rapi and kcemirror
by Marcel Ruff 06 Jan '07

06 Jan '07

Hi, with OpenSuse 10.1 i had nice access to my PDA (running Windows CE 4.1). I could copy files and get the PDA desktop to my X11 desktop (similar to vnc). I've used the tools synce, rapi and kcemirror to do this. Now after upgrading to OpenSuse 10.2 all those tools have disappeared, i can't access the PDA anymore. What happened to those tools? Are there some better tools bundled to 10.2? thanks Marcel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Number Keypad doesn't work
by Jeffery Fernandez 06 Jan '07

06 Jan '07

Hi , I am having this weird issue where my number key-pad doesn't work. I suspect that it stopped working after I install nvidia and XGL. At that time when I pressed the number keypad, my X would restart (thats when I discovered there is a problem). So I have un-installed nvidia and XGL and changed the config in Yast to use Xorg config and now no output comes from the number-keys. Does anyone know whats wrong here ? cheers, Jeffery -- Powered by openSUSE 10.2 (i586) Kernel: 2.6.18.2-34-xen KDE: 3.5.5 "release 45" 5:31pm up 0:11, 4 users, load average: 1.04, 0.71, 0.54 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Screensaver locking session
by Greg Wallace 06 Jan '07

06 Jan '07

Well, I just upgraded to 10.2 and everything went pretty smoothly as far as I can tell so far. However, I just noticed the first glitch. When my screen saver comes on and I try to get back to the desktop by moving the mouse, I'm now prompted for a password. I've looked under personal settings and can't seem to find where to turn this off. Am I just overlooking it or is this setting someplace else?

[opensuse] Sending mail via my ISP relay using sendmail
by Paul Abrahams 06 Jan '07

06 Jan '07

I'm trying to send mail through my ISP using sendmail (postfix under the covers). I have to use sendmail because the actual application is the PHP5 "mail" command, and that command uses sendmail. My ISP requires a username and password to accept the relay; this protocol goes under the name of SMTP AUTH. Using kmail, I have no trouble sending mail. In fact, using the Linux mail command I have no trouble either, thought the (ISP smtp URL,username, password) triplet must be specified in ~/.mailrc. I've gotten a procedure for providing the triplet to sendmail, but my test messages never arrive. According to the docs I've looked at, I need to put a line like this in the file /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd: smtp.comcast.net theuser:xxx I then need to hash that file to create another file, /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd.db, using the "postmap" program. Finally, I need to insert these lines in the main.cf file that provides postfix with its configuration: smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd smtp_sasl_security_options = The configuration file seems to be located in the directory /etc/postfix. I then need to reload postfix with the command postfix reload I've done all that and I get no error messages -- but no mail arrives when I issue the command sendmail abrahams(a)acm.org this is a test message . How can I track down the reason the mail isn't arriving? Paul -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Getting rid of "Marching Penguins"
by James Knott 06 Jan '07

06 Jan '07

Whenever I boot my notebook computer, after installing 10.2, I get those "Marching Penguins". While they may have been cute around Christmas, they're beginning to wear thin. Is there any simple way to get rid of them? Why on earth is there such a thing on something that should be used in business? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Suggestion about Suse Repositories
by Michael Nelson 06 Jan '07

06 Jan '07

Since they are repositories and they are for suse, let's call them suppositories, OK? -- If a kid asks where rain comes from, I think a cute thing to tell him is "God is crying."

[opensuse] Reverting the kernel
by Paul Abrahams 06 Jan '07

06 Jan '07

Because my problems with my sound card seem to be incurable (or at least no one can tell me how to cure them) with the current kernel version (2.6.18.2-34), I'd like to revert to the immediately preceding kernel version. Where can I find it? And what problems might I encounter if I do the reversion? The problem, by the way, is that Yast gives me the following error message when I attempt to install the sound card: An error occurred during the installation of K7VT2 motherboard. The kernel module snd-via82xx for sound support could not be loaded. This can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters. I've reported this to the kernel and ALSA folks, but no one there has been able to help me. The module appears to be loaded but alsaconf, after identifying it, reports that no sound card can be found.

[opensuse] Time gets reset to UTC every time I reboot (10.2)
by Marius Roets 05 Jan '07

05 Jan '07

Hi everybody, Any idea why the above would occur? My hardware clock is set to local time (GMT+2 no daylight savings), and then I set both the hardware and system clock to the local time. When I reboot, both have been reset 2 hours back to GMT time. I'm using openSuse 10.2 with KDE and the latest updates loaded.
