[opensuse] Setting up LDAP server on Suse 10.0
by David C. Rankin 16 Nov '07

16 Nov '07

Guys, I have a suse 10.0 server that I would like to set up as an ldap server. I am having trouble finding a good reference for this. I have looked at the openldap site and I have found ubuntu sites. Does anyone have a good opensuse site that addresses this? In 10.0, yast doesn't provide for a basic setup, so any outside link you could point me to would be welcomed. -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.

The problem was that the fat32 partition was not being mounted with the "exec" option. After doing this, all is working great! Would highly recomment anyone who is looking at an email/calendar solution to check out Thunderbird/Lightning combo.

If I leave the mouse there, I'll get countless more of these. Last count was 15. Kill them off and more keep coming. If I let it search for the app. then it ends up taking me to a pay site to get the codes. > Aside from that, my best answer would be, "don't do that anymore and you > won't see it." Not really an option.

[opensuse] How to install/configure a webserver?
by Vaibhav Kaushal 16 Nov '07

16 Nov '07

Hi list, I run openSuSE 10.3 as my host OS and I have installed openSUSE 10.2 and backtrack onto VMware workstation. Now I want to install a webserver onto the openSUSE 10.2 in the VMware. Of course the procedure should be very similar to that of any other software. Just pop in the DVD and choose the packages and interdependencies and click "install". Can someone tell me however that how could I configure a webserver for the virtual LAN so that I could open up a small number of interlinked HTML files on the virtual LAN only? I just want to learn how to configure webservers / FTP servers. Thanks in advance. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] smart on openSuse 10.0
by Roger Oberholtzer 15 Nov '07

15 Nov '07

I have a new issue with smart on opensuse 10.0: I cannot do an update, install, or even a fix. It loads and updates the cache. But after it prints "Computing transaction...", the program hangs. If I look at the python process, it is doing occasional mmap2 and brk calls. Nothing else. I had hoped that 'fix' would do as it says. It hangs. 'clean' runs, but nothing is different. I have installed: smart-0.51-11.guru.suse100 -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Kapellgränd 7 P.O.

So, anyone tried putting 10.3 on an Asus eee yet? Does it work without much hacking? I'm thinking of going with a KDE4 only install :-) John. -- Send instant messages to your online friends http://au.messenger.yahoo.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] OT: Music:
by Allen 15 Nov '07

15 Nov '07

Hi all, a couple days ago someone was asking about music software and I linked to my music page on Myspace and showed that not only is it possible to edit music on Linux, and in particular OpenSUSE, but that I had made ALL my music on my Laptop with OpenSUSE using only freely available tools. Anyway if you're into any of it, please check it out as I could use the feedback. I already got one person on here on my buddy list who thought it was cool, but anyone else that likes electronic or Industrial music or Horror Movies, please checks this out and you can get ahold of me on there as I check it daily: http://www.myspace.com/farmacyofhorror Danke, -Allen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] is LPRng still used?
by Johannes Meixner 15 Nov '07

15 Nov '07

Hello, I like to find out if LPRng is still used. It has become somewhat silent regarding LPRng. Therefore it seems (amost) nobody uses LPRng and (amost) everybody uses CUPS so that I wonder if LPRng is still needed at all? If you use LPRng, please reply now! Please tell us about your environment and why you use LPRng, for example: - is it a stand-alone system (at home?) with one printer or a bigger networked environment with many printers - did you try out CUPS (if yes, why don't you use CUPS?) or do you use LPRng just because you used it all the time - is it only because some (which?) traditional application requires a traditional LPD spooler (did you try out cups-lpd?) or does LPRng work better for you than CUPS (why?)

Could anybody highlight me 'some' of the major differences between OpenSuSE 10.3 and SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 (SLED).
