[opensuse] Mounting CIFS shares shared by Vista
by Hans van der Merwe 02 Mar '07

02 Mar '07

I cant get KDE to mount Vista shares? smb://name/share - asks password and then after success gives me list of 0byte files. Doing it by hand "mount -t cifs" works fine?

[opensuse] Freshclam dns problem
by Wilfred van Velzen 02 Mar '07

02 Mar '07

Hi, I'm having a dns problem with freshclam. Whenever it tries to check for updates, it reports the following in it's log file: WARNING: Can't query current.cvd.clamav.net WARNING: Invalid DNS reply. Falling back to HTTP mode. (The fall back to http works, so the problem is minimal, but I would like to fix the dns problem) So: # host -t txt current.cvd.clamav.net current.cvd.clamav.net has no TXT record This is in line with the freshclam problem, but: # host -a current.cvd.clamav.net Trying "current.cvd.clamav.net" ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 64641 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;current.cvd.clamav.net.

This is on an OpenSuse 10.2 server, which communicates with a firewall/dns-server (also OpenSuse 10.2). The firewall/dns-server machine doesn't have the same symptoms, there the 'host -t txt current...' command gets the correct response every time. However a Suse 9.0 server on the same network has the same problem!? What could be the problem? And how do I fix it? -- Bye, Wilfred. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Pre-Installed Linux On Dells Coming!!
by Fred A. Miller 02 Mar '07

02 Mar '07

When Michael Dell took back the reins of he company he founded, one of the first things he did was to launch the feedback site Dell Idea Storm. Following up on the recent Slashdot discussion of the early results of this experiment — an overwhelming expressed desire for pre-loaded Linux — Dell reports on what it plans to do with this feedback. Quoting: "[W]e are working with Novell to certify our corporate client products for Linux, including our OptiPlex desktops, Latitude notebooks and Dell Precision workstations. [On the question of which distro to choose:] "[T]here is no single customer preference for a distribution of Linux... We want users to have the opportunity to help define the market for Linux on desktop and notebook systems. In addition to working with Novell, we are also working with other distributors and evaluating the possibility of additional certifications across our product line." http://www.dell.com/content/topics/global.aspx/ideastorm/ideasinaction?c=us… -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Bitten in arse by DRM crap, I think!
by John Pierce 02 Mar '07

02 Mar '07

Hello list members. I recently purchased two HP DV9208NR laptops, turion x2 1 gig ram, 120 gig sata harddrive, nice machines except one small problem. I resized the partitions and installed opensuse 10.2 on both of them. Every thing works great, play dvds, play ppracer, surf the net through the wireless ( I had to use the ndiswrapper ) because of issues with the 1390 mini card that hp uses. Still works though. My problem is the headphone jack, when I plug in the earbuds the sound still comes from the speakers and not the headphones. If I boot into vista the headphones work, but they come up blank in linux. I think that it is probably due to the vista drm crap, you know, the headphone being an unsecured channel. Any thought, I would appreciate them. I have googled for the problem, but have not found anything yet, I will keep looking though. -- John Registered Linux User 263680, get counted at http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Technical Question: good WiFi connection stops working when...
by Dennis J. Tuchler 02 Mar '07

02 Mar '07

I use SuSE 10.2 and KDE. I hook onto the Internet by way of a wireless router. My WiFi card works when I boot up, but does not continue to work when I take the laptop while it is on and move to another room. When I reboot from that room, the wireless connection is established. I am using KNetworkManager. Is this curable? -- Best regards, Dennis J.

I have use SuSE since version 6.4 and am very familiar with many flavors of Linux, although I consider myself a casual user. I didn't think of 10.2 under after I hit submit on the order form.

[opensuse] LDAP served network
by Rikard Johnels 01 Mar '07

01 Mar '07

I am trying to get my network up on LDAP user authentication. I have several machines (Three servers and 10 workstations), and a handful of roaming users that uses several boxes at different times. I wanted a central user administration instead of having to walk around and locally add all the new users i get. I tried following the steps in the 10.2 "handbook" on how to enable LDAP. It seems to work locally on the intended LDAP server. If i add a user he/she can login on [LDAP] But not on [ws01] or any other box i run against the LDAP server. Can anyone either point me to a step by step setup, or tell me how to set the simplest network up: One LDAP server and one LDAP client. That way i might be able to set the rest up myself... Server_1 is file a group file server with several shares with common files for all the systems. Server_2 is a /home server for the respective users. Those shares should be added on a per user basis. Server_3 is the web/ftp server, where my local users have their homepages. But i also have a few external clients have their ftp/web there. So i need to limit those logins to the respective ftp/web "cages"... Is this doable with LDAP? Or shall i go for something else? -- /Rikard ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- email : rikard.j(a)rikjoh.com web : http://www.rikjoh.com mob: : +46 (0)763 19 76 25 ------------------------ Public PGP fingerprint ---------------------------- < 15 28 DF 78 67 98 B2 16 1F D3 FD C5 59 D4 B6 78 46 1C EE 56 >

[opensuse] Bluetooth headset vs. SUSE 9.1 (!) Pro.
by pelibali 01 Mar '07

01 Mar '07

Hi, Various reasons made me stuck with SUSE 9.1 Pro (kernel 2.6.5) on my laptop and I'm happy with it: except my BT headset everything just works! (On the same hardware, testing of openSUSE 10.x series was also done and e.g. with 10.2 it was just 5 minutes to get the very same Logitech BT headset work. In general it's linux and btsco-compatible.) To make my headset-installation story lasting several months short: works, but... On the latest official YOU-kernel I wasn't able to compile _any_ btsco-releases and through Google I found out that kernel-patches (and general bluetooth update?) will be needed. First alsa (packman), the bluez-libs and -utils were updated and then with a slightly modified btsco patch (for kernel 2.6.7; http://www.gargan.org/linux/snd-bt-sco/kernel-2.6.7-8.24-08-04.patch ) recompiled my complete kernel. Now the snd-bt-sco kernel module can be loaded and the BT-headset works now, but there is a crucial problem: only the btsco version 0.2 can be used, which takes the voice settings as 0x0040 and this makes the quality (extremely) bad. Btsco version 0.3, which in fact compiles and installs, but is not able to use the 0x0040 setting as defined by the kernel module; it rather says that 0x0060 should be used. With the older module loaded that particular 0x0060 setting doesn't let the BT headset emit anything:( Even no background noises, as it just had e.g. with the working btsco-0.2. So the whole stuff considered to be useless at the end. The readme on the above site stated that the patch should work with the "new" 0.3 version, but it didn't in my case... I'm confident, that after all of this there should be a way to get btsco-0.3 working as 0x0060 on my laptop, just having no further idea, how! My concern is that with the 2.6.7 patch I miss the steps "in-between" and simply some older components of my 2.6.5 kernel didn't get updated/fixed. I also read about bluetooth 1.1 and 2.x, which could cause the above 0x0040 working, but 0x0060 not anomaly; recently I started to look around for git-patches to investigate. I would specially appreciate, if anyone using such an old SUSE 9.x system with a working BT headset or simply knowing the bluetooth stack more would comment this. I'm sorry for the long post; skipped the complete (hardware) details to make it shorter and so general as it is just possible.

[opensuse] [Solved] Sound not working due to missing group membership

01 Mar '07

Hi all, I just did a fresh install to OpenSUSE 10.2 DVD, and found none of my applications could detect a sound output device, yet the config tools showed my card to be correctly set up and could output test sound. It turned out I wasn't a member of the "audio" group, and in fact many of the groups I was a member of in previous versions I wasn't a member of any more. Just add yourself to the "audio" group in YaST->Security and Users->User and Group Administration. Also add "audio" to the default groups, with Expert Options->New User Defaults, in the Secondary Groups field. Similarly with any other group you think you should be in but aren't.
