[opensuse] iPrint client
by Roger Oberholtzer 05 Mar '07

05 Mar '07

I am trying to add a Novell iPrint server managed printer to SUSE 10.0. I have installed the iPrint client RPM (novell-iprint-xclient-sl-1.0.20051215-2, which is the version offered by the web page managing the printers). I am trying with this command: # /opt/novell/iprint/bin/iprntcmd -a ipp://mma/ipp/MMA-HP4300-1 iprntcmd v04.15.00 Adding printer ipp://mma/ipp/MMA-HP4300-1. Failed to add printer ipp://mma/ipp/MMA-HP4300-1. Group Info: IPRINT-lib Error Code: 4111 (0x100F) Error Msg: iPrint Lib - The administrator may not have assigned a driver or the server may not support printer/driver installation for this platform. Debug Msg: IPRINTDownloadPrinterDriver - driver download not supported by the server I can guess that the problem is that the iPrint server does not have the needed Linux drivers. When I talk to the sysadmins (who do not do Linux), what files should I be asking them to make available? Would it be .ppd files? Assuming this is the case, and that I do not get them to install the missing files, can't I use a local .ppd file? If it must come from the server, where can I tell them to get the missing Linux drivers? This (iPrint) is all new to me. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Kapellgränd 7 P.O.

[opensuse] how to use ksmarttray?
by Istvan Gabor 05 Mar '07

05 Mar '07

Hello all: Please explain to me how to use ksmarttray. I have openSUSE 10.2 with KDE 3.5.6 and these smart packages installed: smart-ksmarttray-0.50-1.guru.suse102 smart-0.50-1.guru.suse102 smartmontools-5.36.cvs20061025-8 smart-gui-0.50-1.guru.suse102 smart-addons-0.50-1.guru.suse102 I never before used ksmarttray but I use smart-gui regularly. I wanted to try ksmarttray and launched it. It put the icon in the system tray. Right click on the icon shows "KSmartTray" and grayed out "Check" and "Start Smart" menus. The application seems to do nothing. However top reports: PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 4599 root 25 0 62408 51m 4340 R 95.7 10.3 31:40.86 smart This has been going on for ~45 minutes. Is this normal? (I think not). What should I do?

[opensuse] OpenGL or SDL problem
by Jay Smith 05 Mar '07

05 Mar '07

So I have an Intel 950 GMA with 3D acceleration. Works pretty good but for some reason, it didn't play all 3D games and some of my 3D screen saver won't work either. To test it, I went into konsole and trid to run the game wormux and got this error: wormux: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL_gfx.so.13: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I tried to reinstall/upgrade my SDL and OpenGL from Yast Software management to no avail. What can I do to get this working? If it helps any, XGL and Beryl seem to be working fine. Of course, I turn it off after using it for demonstration with the old "gnome-xgl-settings --disable-xgl". Thanks all. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Hello all: Running only one instant of firefox results in using 45-70 % of CPU activity (according to top). Is this normal? Processor is AMD Sempron XP 2200.

[opensuse] Pine and PGP signing/encription
by Carlos E. R. 05 Mar '07

05 Mar '07

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, Pine does not support pgp directly, but it can do with external filters. The 10.2 distro has two, pgp4pine and pinepg. Both have problems. pgp4pine can decipher correctly, an verifies signatures - at least if they are inline, not attached. However, when sending, it has problems (bugzilla #251131): ... | | Loading public keyring (this may take a couple of seconds)... | ............ | Loading secret keyring (this may take a couple of seconds)... | ... | | Warning! It appears that you don't have a secret key defined! Please see | your PGP/GPG documentation for assistance in making a key pair! | That's the first problem: it is unable to find the sender key, which exists. Ie, it is unable to match the sender's mail address to a key in the keyring. | Checking recipients ... | | robin.listas(a)*********.net... - no key found | And next, it is unable to find the recipient's key - which also exists. Thus, it doesn't offer encryption, only signing: | | Your recipient list has unknown keys. You may: | a) Sign the message | b) Send it unmodified | c) Ask the Keyserver for unknown keys and start over | d) Open a shell to add their key manually, | q) Abort and Quit | | Make your choice [a]: | And it does sign correctly, with whichever happens to be my default key. This problem appeared with SuSE 10.1 or thereabouts. 9.1 was Ok, I think. Checking, I tried to look at the original pgp4pine site. The suse copy is from 2001, and the site, <http://pgp4pine.flatline.de> does no longer exist. Yes, I googled: nothing clear. So, I discover that suse also has a newer package, pinepg, and I try it. It is made in perl. It is sloooow! I have to press enter after verification of a key to read the email, and the key info is not displayed then. Two steps. Any way, it is possible to use different filters for reading or writing, so, hopefully, I try signing and encrypting... no good either, slow and broken: it caches the key, instead of relying in gpg-agent, and always uses the same cached key for a day. No good! What is left? Googling around, there seem to be many other projects for "pgp 4 pine", but I have no idea which one works and is reliable... :-( For instance, I found one at <http://packetstormsecurity.org/crypt/pine+pgp/>, but the page doesn't even load. There is <http://pgpenvelope.sourceforge.net/>, which I have downloaded, but it hasn't been updated since 2001, and it is also perl, meaning it will be slow... And it doesn't like the system: Warning: prerequisite AppConfig 1.52 not found. Warning: prerequisite Class::MethodMaker 0.96 not found. Warning: prerequisite GnuPG::Interface 0.3 not found. Warning: prerequisite String::Approx 3.13 not found. Writing Makefile for pgpenvelope Meaning that I would have to install all those before installing this one... too complex. - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFF6/iJtTMYHG2NR9URAhZ9AJwKQKT9N/UqxlX2mcfb1Wg4YA54qgCglWI5 gStkxUpy8Vw2nFKvn+Vg4U8= =odTo -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] gconfd = ?
by Daniel Barna 05 Mar '07

05 Mar '07

Hi, Can someone explain what is gconfd needed for? /opt/gnome/lib/GConf/2/gconfd-2 is running on my system, and I find such lines in my /var/log/messages: Mar 4 23:22:54 nbad11 gconfd (barna-5995): starting (version 2.14.0), pid 5995 user 'barna' Mar 4 23:22:54 nbad11 gconfd (barna-5995): Resolved address "xml:readonly:/etc/opt/gnome/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory" to a read-only configuration source at position 0 What is starting this process? Why? gconfd-2 is part of the gconf2 package, which is, according to its description: "This is the development version of GConf, the GNOME configuration database. It is used by the GNOME 2.x Desktop platform" I am NOT using gnome, but kde. If I want to remove this package, smart wants to remove also (among others): firefox, openoffice, gimp Thanks Daniel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
