[opensuse] KDE (Media) Daemon actions
by Istvan Gabor 28 Mar '07

28 Mar '07

Hello: I have openSUSE 10.2 with KDE 3.5.6 newest (kdebase3-3.5.6- 52.1). After installing a few new applications the KDE (media) daemon window lists so many actions for a given media inserted that the list can't fit the window and even the buttons are not visible. I have to resize the window If I want to see the buttons (OK, Cancel, Configure). This is really annoying. I tried to remove some of the actions in configure mode but the delete button is disabled for all of the included actions. How can I configure the media daemon so that it would show only a few actions (ie how could I remove the actions that I do not need)? Thanks, IG _______________________________________________ 2700 állás - Mérnöki, értékesítői, asszisztensi, pénzügyi és IT pozíciók a Jobline.hu-n! http://jobline.hu/Friss-allasok.aspx -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] VOIP solution?
by Zhang Weiwu 28 Mar '07

28 Mar '07

Dear List We are a tiny business running in China. In China ISP competition is not very healthy, 2 major ISPs: China Telcom, China Netcom both defend their own business by limiting network access to other ISP. We have an office in Beijing, in Beijing there is only one ISP company (monoplay business) that is China Netcom so they "choose" to use it. We have an office in Xiamen, in Xiamen there is only one ISP company (monoplay business) that is China Telcom, so we "choose" to use it. We also have a server hosted by a hosting company, that company is very smart, using some very special technology to connect both ISP. Transfer data from our Xiamen Office to Beijing => 3 ~ 10 KB/s, no connection can maintain 10 minutes. Transfer data from Beijing to Xiamen is the same slow. In Xiamen, transfer data from / to our server is 100KB/s; in Beijing exactly the same. We used to use skype, but quality isn't very high nor very realiable because only a few super-nodes have fast access to both ISP. Besides we got a few other problems too related to skype / gizmo. I am thinking perhaps it's not difficult to set up some software on the server that do the "routing", e.g. it serve as a call center that both office login to a VOIP software and it connects to the server, the server talk to both sides. This is the fastest solution and it should work. That's only my imagination, I am still searching for such software. Both offices use OpenSuSE as desktop computer and the server runs Gentoo Linux. Both offices are behind each one's NAT firewall. -- Zhang Weiwu Real Softservice http://www.realss.com +86 592 2091112 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] should I prefer RAR format for deliverying file to Windows users
by Zhang Weiwu 28 Mar '07

28 Mar '07

WE cannot avoid it: some day you need to send several files to a Windows user: you use a packing tool either because there are many files or because the file had been too fat and can be compressed. What format to use: most western people I think will choose zip, for me I got a problem: the Chinese file names, after un-packaged on Windows, is junk text because on Linux we all use UTF-8 and Windows Chinese version using different charset (GB18030) So I'd prefer using a archive format that either remember the original charset (so when unpackaging, it does charset conversion) OR simply store file names in unicode and convert to local charset when unpacking. I have tried zip: failed. I also tried tar: no, tar don't do any charset conversion. But: when I receive files from Windows users made with winRAR, the un-packaged files have correct Chinese names! So RAR either store file names in unicode or remembered the charset info. I'd be glad to switch to RAR as my delivery format if that can keep Chinese folder names, also I'd be glad to use zip if it actually have an option on handling charset difference, or I'd like to use Microsoft's CAB format if that fits. The format I choose must be open-able by WinRAR (as every PC in China has this software installed on it). What format would you suggest to use? Can tar/zip/cab format handle different charsets? -- Zhang Weiwu Real Softservice http://www.realss.com +86 592 2091112 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Greetings, when kdesu launch an application, from where does it then take the LANG setting to pass on to the application? On my system it passes the wrong LANG setting, but I can not find where to set the right one.

[opensuse] New Kernel 2.6.18-someting for SLES10
by Verner Kjærsgaard 28 Mar '07

28 Mar '07

- and this is an OpenSUSE list and I'm asking a SLES10 question, sigh... - please bear with me. I need to install a new 2.6.18-something-whatever kernel onto my SLES10 box. Can I find a ready baked 2.6.18 somewhere or can someone direct me to a how-to or something... I allready downloaded a 2.6.18-something-latest from kernel.org. Untarred it and placed it into /usr/src/linux-2.6.18.something-very-own-kernel. Original SLES10 kernel sources are all installed and in place. I then did a make oldconfig, seemed to work or something I don't understand. I then edited .config, changed a line stating what version. Then I proceded with make bzImage. This break after some 10 minutes with a missing module. I can give the exact errors if needed, only I feel that I'm on a generally wrong path. In fact I am, replacing the kernel of a SLES10 is a BAD idea. But these guys wants this done..something with vmware and so forth. So, ok... -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Med venlig hilsen/Best regards Verner Kjærsgaard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Re: [opensuse] Boot from different kernels
by Erland Moller 28 Mar '07

Terry, If you boot with LILO simply compile the kernel and place it under a unique name in the /boot dir. Make a copy of the standard Linux boot section in /etc/lilo.conf changing the name of the bootfile to the name you gave the new kernel, reinstall LILO and reboot. I'm not that experienced with GRUB, but it should have the same possibillity.

[opensuse] Boot from different kernels
by Teruel de Campo MD 28 Mar '07

28 Mar '07

What is the best setup or precautions to take if you want to try different kernels?. For example I have suse 10.2 working well with 2.6.18 now I build 2.6.20 with the same config of 2.6.18. Is the new kernel going to change anything in the system than when I load back the 2.6.18 I will have problems? In summary how do you setup you system to test kernels? Anything special in Grub?

[opensuse] weired problem with hb_gui
by Michael Schwartzkopff 28 Mar '07

28 Mar '07

Hi, I want to use the gui for controlling a heartbeat cluster. I log in with the user hacluster and the server keeps on telling me: "Failed in authentication. User Name or Password my be wrong. or the user doesn't belong to the haclient group." Well, I checked all this and everything should be all right. /var/log/messages on the server says: Mar 28 14:15:18 epidot mgmtd: pam_unix(hbmgmtd:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty= ruser= rhost= user=hacluster Mar 28 14:15:18 epidot mgmtd: pam_warn(hbmgmtd:auth): function=[pam_sm_authenticate] service=[hbmgmtd] terminal=[<unknown>] user=[hacluster] ruser=[<unknown>] rhost=[<unknown>] Mar 28 14:15:20 epidot mgmtd: [3564]: ERROR: on_listen pam auth failed I If kill the mgmtd and start if with the option "-t" (test mode, no auth check) all works smooth.

[opensuse] SuSE 10.1 forgets Lexmark USB printer on reboot
by Mr Banana 28 Mar '07

28 Mar '07

As the subject says, my printer stops working after rebooting. It is a Lexmark 5100 and I'm using the Z55 driver. When I install the printer and test it everything seems OK but after rebooting it stops working. Sending the job to print gives no error, the print queue stays empty and nothing gets printed. If I go into Yast, delete then add the printer it starts working again, untill the next reboot. I say "I" but is in fact my dad's system and I have to keep deleting and adding it remotely, over a very slow modem, whenever he wants to print - H E L P!
