[opensuse] bash_history
by Stefan Ochaba 01 Oct '07

01 Oct '07

Hello, I have a problem concerning the bash_history: When I use the arrow-keys to flip through the different entries in the bash_history the last character of the command line cannot be deleted. This is a bit disturbing, since I did not change anything and this behaviour was not there before. Any help is welcome.

[opensuse] postfix body_checks
by Hans Linux 01 Oct '07

01 Oct '07

i hv setup header and body_checks for my postfix to filter some content that i dont it. But it doesnt behave the way I want it to :P for example, I need to filter the word "sword" or "sw0rd", then i put this on my body_checks file : /sw?rd/ REJECT The problem is, it rejects all pattern to that word like "swirrrd", "swanythingrd". How do i make it to check for 5 letters only? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

I found out when I tried to put a Win-XP VM on a 16 GB USB key just how slow those are compared with ordinary disk access. I mean, I already knew that, but it wasn't really obvious just *how* bad it was until I could see controls and buttons on an application getting drawn one at a time. I moved that VM to an ordinary external HD with a USB 2.0 connection, and it was quite usable. Not as convenient to move from one computer to another, granted, but it made the difference between works and doesn't work. It's not the USB 2.0 bandwidth that's the bottleneck - it's the flash drive read/write speeds that make it unusable for such a purpose. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] cups and Windows
by Ron Eggler 01 Oct '07

01 Oct '07

Hi, Okay, after playing around a little bit for a while i still gotta come and ask here. I got my printer setup on my suse 10.1 server system and i can print just fine with my Suse 10.2 client but not with the Windows client(s). In Windows i can browse for the printer and it shows it up nicely. Double click tells me that it'll download the driver to the system but then it still can't find it and i will need to install it manually. Anyways, once done this, i can nicely add it to my windows printer(s) but when i try to print something it tells me "Access denied, unable to connect". I'm not reallly sure what's wrong since i can print from my suse 10.2 client just fine. Can anyone help me? This would be appreciated! Thanks tons! -- chEErs Ron -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] initrd
by caleb storms 01 Oct '07

01 Oct '07

hey all, its been awhile since i've had to compile a kernel, but i had to for some things and i've installed it with no real issue, the thing is that I used the old initrd file for my boot loader. Therefore it didn't seem to load the new modules. Makes sense i guess. Anyway, i'm on a ppc and i have not found an easy way to create an initrd image. Does anyone know of any down and dirty howto for this ? Caleb -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
