Hi Dominique and all, as I already replied to someone not so long ago regarding this top vs. bottom posting thing... That's how the Yahoo! webmail works. When I hit the "reply (all) " button it doesn't append, for example, a ">" sing to every line as other MUAs do... and I will not do it manually. As for the X-Mailinglist Header; I agree.

[opensuse] suspend2ram woes with HP nx7400 notebook
by John Brown 09 Feb '07

09 Feb '07

Hi all, When I select suspend to ram from SUSE start menu, the screen goes black, but immediately afterwards it shows that it's "resuming". After "resuming" it simply starts the screensaver (locks the screen). I'm running SUSE 10.2 with default kernel (the only modification is that I have compiled psmouse as module). Is there anything I could do to fix/debug this problem? I could perhaps send the contents of my log files if someone advised me where to look.

Hello guys, I don't know why, but I haven't received any mail from the list since mid-January. Too bad, I didn't notice it earlier. :( Well, anyway, I'm back now :) Great to see you again. By the way, I'm using SLED10 with license that I won from participating in a Novell Suse web contest.

[opensuse] Novell Please make Bugzilla for OpenSuse really Open.
by John Andersen 09 Feb '07

09 Feb '07

I's like to suggest that bugs related to openSuse be made available to the internet as a whole by allowing them to be crawled and indexed by google, yahoo, and any other search engines that want them. There is a lot of good information, including solutions to problems that appear in the bugzilla data base that can not be found on google simply because google is not allowed to crawl Novell's bugzilla. A google search like this: unable to burn dvd k3b does not show Bug 242009, or ANY other results from Novell's bugzilla even though a bugzilla search will show 87 hits. Searching with google's site specific search will always show results like: Your search - dvd k3b site:bugzilla.novell.com - did not match any documents. I don't think an "open" distribution should require searching in a specific place. Bugzilla itself has limited search capabilities when compared to google. Bugs frequently have relevance beyond a specific distro. Note:--- I realize that the Novell Bugzilla also contains bugs related to proprietary packages and confidential bugs. However it would seem that a script could echo all non proprietary bugs to another server, (or simply build a page of links such that the crawlers could find them). -- _____________________________________ John Andersen

[opensuse] Is opensuse@opensuse.org == suse-linux-e@suse.com ??
by Per-Olov Sjöholm 09 Feb '07

09 Feb '07

Hi Just subscribed to opensuse(a)opensuse.org... I created a sieve filter to sort TO or CC mails with this address to a special folder in my mailbox. 95% of my Suse listmails mail goes to this folder. However... the other 5% goes directly to my inbox. These 5% are sent TO or CC suse-linux-e(a)suse.com. I can see that most of these suse-linux-e(a)suse.com mails are sent from @suse.de people... Is this suse-linux-e(a)suse.com an alias to opensuse(a)opensuse.org or what? Of course I can add another sieve sorting filter. But I want to now if there are even more aliases....

[opensuse] How to put additional driver into Suse CDs
by Fajar Priyanto 09 Feb '07

09 Feb '07

Hi all, Is it possible to add "additional" driver into Suse CD/DVD, so that user won't have to install the driver manually? I mean, so that when installed, Suse would be able to recognize and set the hardware without the need of recompiling and installing the driver manually by the user. For example some of Winmodem drivers. It would be very nice if user don't have to install it manually after Suse installed. Is it possible? Some kind of "remastered" Suse with additional drivers? Thank you very much, -- Fajar Priyanto | Reg'd Linux User #327841 | Linux tutorial http://linux2.arinet.org 6:30pm up 9:21, 2.6.16.21-0.8-default GNU/Linux Let's use OpenOffice. http://www.openoffice.org

[opensuse] Susefirewall2 and forwarding from 2 ethernet boards
by Claudio M. 09 Feb '07

09 Feb '07

Hello, i got the following problem: I have a firewall server mounting Susefirewall2, with 2 internal ethernet board and 1 external. From the outside, i got at my disposal a series of IP address, e.g. from 100.100.100.1 to 100.100.100.64, configured on the external ethernet like alias. I'll call this board eth0. Others 2 boards have a part of the 192.168.0.0 net,e.g. eth1 has 192.168.0.1 IP address with 255.255.255.128 netmask, while the eth2 has 129.168.0.129 IP and the same netmask like eth1. Internal machines supply services to the external of the firewall, and they are reached only trough the rules of FW_FORWARD_MASQ, e.g. 0/0,192.168.0.5,tcp,80,80,100.100.100.3 forwards the request reached on the 80 port on the public IP 100.100.100.3 to the 80 port on the private IP 192.168.0.5. Machines under the eth1 net talk without problems with the firewall and with machines under the eth2 net and vice versa. The problem begins when an internal machine 192.168.0.x try to enter to one of the public IPs on the external interface of the firewall, e.g. when 192.168.0.9 try to contact http://100.100.100.3 the IP gots blocked from the firewall. How can i do to remove this block? Bye Thanks -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] ZMD is ignoring me

Well, not _totally_ ignoring me - I can shutdown / restart it just fine using the service command... But any rug command like 'rug ping' or 'rug sl' hangs... and remains that way. zen-updater only displays 'Loading services / catalogs / preferences' and 'Getting update list' messages. This has been happening to me for a few hours now. I tried rebooting the system, no luck. I only have 5 or 6 services added, mostly HTTP mirrors with good bandwidth.

[opensuse] no sound sharing
by Richard Pace 08 Feb '07

08 Feb '07

Hi: I've reported this on kde-linux list. No response yet. Went from SuSE 9.3 with KDE 3.5.2? (maybe; 3.5 something anyway) to SuSE 10.2 KDE 3.5.5. Different hardware also. Old hardware was an old Compaq AP 200 and I don't remember the sound card type. New hardware is HP Pavilion Athlon Dual core. My sound will not share. That is, if I run Realplayer to stream radio, no KDE notifications will sound. If I stop Realplayer, then KDE notification will sound. I have a MCP51 High Definition Audio card. KDE is configured with ALSA, full duplex (same problem with full duplex off). I have tried other options in KDE: autodetect, same problem; OSS, only KDE sound works (no sound with Realplayer); Jack, no sound. KMIX shows only 1 PCM device. Under 9.3 KDE 3.5.? there were 2 PCM devices, and KDE volume was controlled by one and Realplayer volume, when running, by the other.

In the other post you mentioned that no graphic in runlevel 5. Obviously something went wrong with /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. You mentioned in third separate post same PCI BusID, that will not work. That is the reason I asked you to check first with command rohan@linux:~> /sbin/lspci what is found on the system. That is the command that you have to type on command prompt in user terminal. If system see only one card or one half of 2 cards than we have to find the way to bring that in order first, if possible. I have forgotten to say to make backup copy of xorg.conf, it is time to do that now. You are in the text mode. Login as root and change directory: linux:~# cd /etc/X11 linux:/etc/X11 # cp xorg.conf xorg.conf-4screens This will save your changes, as I guess there is a little to edit, to bring it in order. The linux:~# is command prompt, you have to type only what comes after #. To list all xorg.conf files: linux:/etc/X11 # ls xorg* xorg.conf xorg.conf-4screens xorg.conf.md5 xorg.conf.install xorg.conf.saxsave The xorg.conf.saxsave is the best candidate to copy back to xorg.conf, if it is missing than use xorg.conf.install, the xorg.conf.md5 is only md5 check sum of current xorg.conf: linux:/etc/X11 # cp xorg.conf.saxsave xorg.conf linux:/etc/X11 # init 3 if you don't see command prompt, press Enter and it will appear. Now we can go back to graphic mode: linux:/etc/X11 # init 5 Main Menu--System--Terminal--Terminal Super User Mode to start Terminal (or Konsole). It will ask you for a password, give root password. Now, let we see what cards are recognized. linux:~# lspci will list all PCI devices, you can copy and paste it to email and we can go from there. The same you can do with xorg.conf-4screens: linux:~# cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf-4screens <here you will see longer listing, scroll to the begin and copy and paste it to email. -- Regards, Rajko. http://en.opensuse.org/Portal http://en.opensuse.org/Midnight_Commander -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
