[opensuse] USB storage - kde3 and camera
by Donn Washburn 31 Dec '07

31 Dec '07

Hey Group; I have a Olympus SP-550UZ digital camera which is to be a remote file system similar to a USB hard drive filesystem. It works only if I have it hooked up at boot time on SuSE 10.3 GM. "lsusb", "hwinfo --usb" and KDE3 pops up a selection menu. if done at boot time even "I hate to say it" -> My Computer will not show the files until I "mount" it "mount /dev/sdd1 /media/camera" At that point all of the fils.jpg show up. Also "modprobe vfat" seems to be automatic However, if I connect the camera after a full bootup "lsusb" sees it. KDE3 sees it. But "mount" complains that there is no device /dev/sdd1 So the USB system sees it. lsmod sees vfat but "lshal" fails to see it Anyone have a clue to find this problem -- 73 de Donn Washburn 307 Savoy Street Email:" n5xwb(a)windstream.net " Sugar Land, TX 77478 LL# 1.281.242.3256 Ham Callsign N5XWB HAMs : " n5xwb(a)arrl.net " VoIP via Gizmo: bmw_87kbike / via Skype: n5xwbg BMW MOA #: 4146 - Ambassador " http://counter.li.org " #279316 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Tool to extract/save mail attachments?
by Anders Norrbring 31 Dec '07

31 Dec '07

Hi! Anyone aware of some tool with which I can go through an entire IMAP folder and save ALL e-mail attachments to files? It's a bit annoying to go to each mail, click attachments and save individually... (On a sidenote, there are about 4000 e-mails, and around 6-10 attachments to each mail...)

[opensuse] mp3 comparing
by Istvan Gabor 31 Dec '07

31 Dec '07

Hello: I am looking for some tool that can compare only the 'music coding parts' of 2 mp3 files disregarding any metadata such as ID tags. (Regular diff like programs find 2 files different even if there is only a character difference eg. in the title or artist but the music is the same.) Is there such a tool for linux?

[opensuse] suse 10.3/kde/evolution
by Sampsa Riikonen 31 Dec '07

31 Dec '07

Dear List, Are there more people who are using evolution with kde and the new suse 10.3. distro ? I have this very strange problem.. I can not check in or out any mail from any pop/stmp server . The program just tries it for several minutes and then says it can't reach the host.. I never had this problem with the 10.2 distro (I have been using evolution for quite a long time so we can discard all the trivial "did you write the server name ok?" type of problems). More weirdly, I can send and receive mail using Kmail without any problems.. .. maybe some module regarding the gnome desktop environment is missing (evolution is made for gnome..) ? Any suggestions / hints are welcome ! How could I start "debugging" this ..? some log file maybe? Regards, Sampsa Riikonen P.S. This is a true linux "checkmate".. I can't even migrate to KMail.. the tool (KMailCVT) for importing evolution data to Kmail does not work (it just tilts). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Re: [opensuse] Modem working on openSuSE 10.2
by Cristea Bogdan 31 Dec '07

31 Dec '07

Yes, you have right, the usb modem is mounted on sdb-sde on my PC. None of them seems to respond when connecting using minicom. I am not familiar working with modems, but I expect some welcome message when the modem is initialized. Looking at /var/log/messages when connecting the modem I get the following lines: Dec 28 21:32:25 HPAthlon64 kernel: usb 2-1: USB disconnect, address 2 Dec 28 21:32:32 HPAthlon64 kernel: usb 2-1: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 3 Dec 28 21:32:32 HPAthlon64 kernel: usb 2-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice It seems to me that the modem is not recognized. However, as in Yast, hardware information, the modem is correctly detected. Any ideas?

[opensuse] Kernel updates for new kernels
by olit＠gmx.at 31 Dec '07

31 Dec '07

Hello! I read a lot about kernel updates in this list, but I still have the following (understanding?) problem: When I install a new kernel from on of the repositories http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/Vanilla/openSUSE_10.3/ or http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/HEAD/openSUSE_Factory/i58… I get the "most current" Version of the kernel. When I now want to stick to a specific version, lets say 2.6.23 or 2.6.24 (when finished), where will I get the security updates for the version? The repositories will change to the newer branch again, won't they? Also, where do I get the 2.6.23 build now, when there are already the 2.6.24-rc builds in the repositories? Thanks, Oliver. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] ktorrent not giving me a GUI?
by Greg Freemyer 31 Dec '07

31 Dec '07

All, I had ktorrent running for the last couple of days acting as a seed. I decided to reboot my machine, I thought I killed ktorrent cleanly and rebooted. After rebooting and logging back in, I noticed ktorrent was in my task list (ps/top). I looked for a window, but did not see it. Killed it via kill. Manually started it from konsole. Still no display. killed it again, started is as "ktorrent --nofork" to see what was going on. Apparently nothing, the above never returned. Never displayed anything. Any idea how to reset it so I can use it?

Re: [opensuse] Joining windoze domain with 10.3
by Chris Arnold 30 Dec '07

30 Dec '07

Sorry, but i sent that email straight to you and not the list :) Okay, but did you allow the machine from the Windows side? You have to grant domain membership to the machine on the PDC. Sorry but i don't know what you mean by "allow the machine from the windows side". In SLED, all i had to do was use yast to join the domain and all was good. So i assume it is true in 10.3? If not, explain what you mean by "allow the machine from the windows side". Thanks for your patience This is strating to act-up again. Now, after a reboot, i can not login to the domain (ADS). Gdm has only <local> and it use to be i could type the domain in at the domain field and that would sometimes work. I can get tickets from the DC. NTP is configured and times are both correct (DC and system). I re-join the domain till i am blue in the face.

[opensuse] Virtualbox.
by Erik Jakobsen 30 Dec '07

30 Dec '07

Hi. I'm installing Virtualbox on my 10.3 system. When I start it, I get this information: The VirtualBox kernel driver is not accessible to the current user. Make sure that the user has write permissions for /dev/vboxdrv by adding them to the vboxusers groups. You will need to logout for the change to take effect.. How do I set the permissions ? -- Venlig hilsen - Best regards - Erik Jakobsen Licensed HAM-RADIO with the callsign OZ4KK http://www.urbakken.dk Registered Linux user #114875 with http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
