[opensuse] Can't load initio driver
by Scott Simpson 01 Oct '07

01 Oct '07

SuSE 10.3 (new release candidate), 2.6.22.5-29 kernel, SCSI initio driver I have a scanner connected to a Initio INI-950 SCSI card and I recently upgraded from SuSE 10.2 to 10.3. The new kernel doesn't see any of my devices. I get the following in /var/log/messages: Sep 30 09:05:13 r2d2 kernel: ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:0a.0[A] -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 16 Sep 30 09:05:13 r2d2 kernel: initio: I/O port range 0x0 is busy. Sep 30 09:05:13 r2d2 kernel: ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:00:0a.0 disabled so there is some conflict of some kind. How would I go about reconciling this? Thanks. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Building a website is a piece of cake. Yahoo!

This is exactly what is wrong, and I mean what is REALLY WRONG with *US* now days. Microsoft has so poluted our collective minds that it has convinced us that it is somehow illegal for us to actually EARN a living using the software we have purchased (or in their case, rented). Virtually everything their OS does is check to see that the user is doing what Microsoft feels is to the benefit of Microsoft and not to the benefit of the equipment owner and the benefit of the user of the product. Linux on the other hand, in its' many flavors, including SuSE, spends *all* of its' time doing what the owner of the equipment wants, doing what is best for the user, doing what is potentially most profitable for the user of the OS and not for the worlds already richest individual or the company he is associated with. No lawyers are waiting on an owner of a Linux machine to fail to put in some 20 or 60 digit proof of purchase CD code followed by endless CPU cycles to ensure you don't have equipment failures and move the software to replacement equipment "properly". In fact, Linux encourages you to distribute it freely and use it in the way YOU want it in the way it best benefits YOU! When Linux fails to do these things, it is because of a malfunction, not design or legalities, and there are literally thousands of people out in the world working, largely for free, to fix those bugs. Where companies like Novell make their money is not by selling Linux, but by selling support and expertise. There is nothing wrong with that. They give Linux away (except for the cost of the media and paper) and earn their money by conducting seminars, sending support engineers out, helping design installations, answering technical questions to those that are willing to pay for that information. They don't have to pay people to verify 60 digit CD codes were legally obtained by you from a particular store for a particular machine with a CPU having certain disk drives in it. What a world Microsoft has created! It makes honest people *think* they are thieves!!!! Lynn, STOP feeling guilty about USING Linux and certainly stop feeling guilty about asking for help, whether or not you eventually make a profit from the information is irrelevant.

[opensuse] Where to tell MTA to send through port 587?
by Johnny Ernst Nielsen 01 Oct '07

01 Oct '07

Good day, OpenSUSE 10.2 Where do I tell the MTA to use port 587 when sending mail through my web hotel? My ISP has blocked port 25 for sending mail, but my web hotel accepts mail sending though port 587. I can't find anywhere in YaST's MTA module, sysconfig, or anywhere else to set the port number. Best regards :o) Johnny :o) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Easy. I do it using the ncurses torrent client. First I start it telling to download the incumbent iso. I allow it to run for a minute or so, then I stop it. I notice where it has started to put the ISO, then I copy over it the broken but full ISO I got by any other method. Finally, I restart the ncurses client, which will inmediately verify what it has, and start re-downloading whatever pieces are bad. Any _good_ bittorrent client should be able to do this, but I haven't been able to convince ktorrent to comply. Azureus can, I've been told. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

Sounds to me like you have some escape sequences in your prompt that aren't correctly bracketed by the "unprinting" start & stop prompt sequences, thus it has the wrong size for the prompt? -- Jonathan Arnold (mailto:jdarnold@buddydog.org) Linux Brain Dump - Linux Notes, HOWTOs and Tutorials: http://www.linuxbraindump.org Daemon Dancing in the Dark, an Open OS weblog: http://freebsd.amazingdev.com/blog/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] bash_history

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
