[opensuse] cgi script to open a iptable file and modify.
by Chuck Amadi 16 Feb '07

16 Feb '07

Hi Does anyone on the list Distro OpenSuSE, Apache2 and use cgi and not perl cgi. Know a good mailing list to create cgi script without perl. I have a task to pull data from our iptables file into a editable html thus able to make modifications and click on a button to restart iptables. I have got a dirty hack that restarts the iptables But my boss would like a editable html form. PS I have been looking at open function But having no joy. # now write (append) to the file open(INF,"firewall"); # opens firewall file for reading located in the cgi-bin dir. Any suggestions or url's to anything similiar would be of great help. Ta -- Chuck Amadi ROK Corporation Limited Ty ROK, Dyffryn Business Park, Llantwit Major Road, Llandow, Vale Of Glamorgan.

[opensuse] Error occurred while creating the catalog - Unknown error: unable to copy media directory
by robermann 16 Feb '07

16 Feb '07

Hi all, an update: as promised, I kept searching and... I buied a Linux journal with an OpenSuse DVD. This time, that worked! I again cannot understand what changed; the only reason I can see is the different media type. How can I make sure about the new DVD having the same content of my other DVD not working? Cross-checking the MD5 of all files (!) ? By the way: I updated my Suse 9.3 with OpenSuse 10.2. It seems all worked well, with the exception of printer settings (and Samba still works :) ).

[opensuse] limiting coredumps
by Matthew Stringer 16 Feb '07

16 Feb '07

Hi, more of a general Unix question than a specific openSUSE question: My meachines run BASH, if I log in and run a program it'll run under that shell, I can set the ulimit for core dumps in the BASH config. If I have a script that runs under '/bin/sh' I can add 'ulimit -H -c 0' to that script to set the max core dump size to zero. I can do similar things for every different shell on my systems. However if I call a program from Cron or did 'ssh user@server command' then it won't run in a shell so how do I limit the size of core dumps should a program seg fault n crash?

[opensuse] Print to file PDF Firefox 2 & Konqueror
by LLLActive＠GMX.Net 16 Feb '07

16 Feb '07

Hi all, I need to print to PDF from FireFox2. When print is selected, only the "Print to file PostScript/default" option is available besides the normal printers. OpenOffice Writer produces PDF's flawlessly. I have also read that Ghostscript 5.10 upwards installs ps2pdf. I have an Installed SUSE 10.1 with ghostscript 8.15.3-18.2 library & ghostscript-x11 V 8.15.2rc1-20. Print to PDF of web page contents is possible in Konqueror, but delivers this error message. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- A print error occurred. Error message received from system: ps2pdf -sPAPERSIZE=a4 '/tmp/kde-abc/kdeprint_V1ln5etb' $out{/home/abc/Documents/List Parameter - Detail.pdf} && kmailservice 'mailto:?attachment=file:$out{/home/abc/Documents/List Parameter - Detail.pdf}' && sleep 15 && rm -f $out{/home/abc/Documents/List Parameter - Detail.pdf} : execution failed with message: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- What could this mean? :-) Al -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

by Silviu Marin-Caea 16 Feb '07

16 Feb '07

Does anyone have 10.2 on HP nx7400? Does it boot every time? I've seen a problem on two of these laptops where they would frequently stop at boot on "Activating device mapper". I have filed a bug. If anyone has the same hw & 10.2 please add a comment. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=244556 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Adding new IMAP accounts with Kontact/Kmail
by Brian Jackson 16 Feb '07

16 Feb '07

Hello- On my 10.2 box, I'm trying to add my various IMAP email accounts in Kontact, but everytime I go to 'Check What the Server Supports' in the 'Security' tab, I get the following error: Connect to most xxxx.xxxx.xxxx is broken I currently use a suse 9.2 box for mail with Kontact, and all is configured the same. It works on the 9.2 box and has for years. Even on ly laptop running 10.0 is fine. I've typed in the right username, passwd, mailhost, and port. The server is up and running and I can check mail with other mail clients. If I try to check email, I get an Error popup saying "The connection to server [named connection] was unexpectedly closed or timed out. It will be re-established automatically if possible" I've trolled online for an answer, but have been unsuccessful :( Anyone have any ideas? thanks, brian -- Brian Jackson Photo Sports ~ People ~ Events http://www.BrianJacksonPhoto.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Would like explanation from networking guru
by Art Fore 16 Feb '07

16 Feb '07

I have a Dell D820 running Suse 10.2 with WinXP underparalles. I have WinXP logged on to the corporate network and can access the network with no problems. I have Linux using the Wireless network, and it wroks fine, other than the network dying now and then. I can access the internett fine. We have a Suse Linux 10.1 server on the corporate network running smb share, postgres database, and local http apache server. Since this is not on the windows domain, but on the same subnet, we have to access it using the ip address. This is no problem. The networks are different networks, 10;18.xx.xx and 192.168.xx.xx and not even connected via the internet as the corporate network is via a proxy server and vpn. Both network cards show up with ifconfig and I changed the default route from the windows network gateway to the wireless network gateway. What I don't understand and would like an explanation for, is that I can also access the linux server on the windows network, (file server and postgres and http) from linux on my laptop which is on a different network. How does this work? I did not even think it was possible, however I discovered it accidently when accessing the http, I thought it from Winxp & firefox, but it was firefox in Linux. I will say it is very convenient though, in fact, it is great. Art -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
