[opensuse] DVD +Suse 10.2 +K3b
by Art Fore 04 Mar '07

04 Mar '07

When I insert empty dual layer DVD into the drive, and the automounter comes up with the following error. Method "Mount" with signature "ssas" on interface "org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume" doesn't exist If I opens with K3b, everything seems to go OK until it gets to the point for actually writing the image, it asks to insert blank DVD. The thing is, I copied one DVD with no problem, then this. Tried 3 other empty new DVD's of the same type that did work with no luck. Any sugestions?/ Art -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Differential SCSI HBA Support
by Lucky Leavell 04 Mar '07

04 Mar '07

Does SuSE, specifically, 10.0 Pro, support differential SCSI HBAs such as the Adaptec AHA-2944UW or AHA-3940UW or AHA-3944UW? The HCL has no SCSI HBAs at all in it !

[opensuse] frustration and suggestions
by kanenas 04 Mar '07

04 Mar '07

In the past 24 hours with my x86-64 10.2 I had a kooka freeze-up, a vmware freeze-up, a video dvd playing freeze-up, about 6 or 7 firefox freeze-ups, access to a windoze computer shared folder freeze-up, about 3 konq freeze-ups, need alsaconf almost every time a "new" application requests sound, always have to reset volume down from max and so on... it is windoze95 all over again!!!!! I know, "there is something seriously wrong with my system", I will adress that, also I know that individual apps are not a SuSE problem, however: 1. the same does *not* happen with older versions of SuSE in the very same hardware (ok, it's on a different partition, but that;s the only diff). 2. The installation is a standard SuSE installation, with the additon of kernel sources (for vmware compilation) and multimedia from packman and the removal of beagle. 3. This is the only SuSE system besides 10.1 where a reboot "makes things ok for a while, then shtuff lapses into an almost predictable pattern of problems". 10.1 is guilty too, but does the dirty deed with much less frequency. 4. I am fully aware that vista is not the solution to my problems and i can not accept xp as my os of choice despite it's remarkable maturity. so i plead to all who have a say on what actually comes out as "working software": 1. STABILITY is more important than features. 2. It is WRONG to rely on the speed of new hardware to make up for bad programming. It is absolutely ridiculous that the word processors of today take gigabytes of space and googles of cpu cycles just to load a plain document template. Yes, there is nothing wrong with using "standardized" software blocks for "standardized" operations in a program, but this has been abused to the max and it is perhaps the most important reason that almost every package is a rube goldberg of bits of this and parts of that, all spread out over a few dozen libs and scripts, all loaded with useless baggage... 3. simple is ok. thanks, d. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Postfix question relaying through Exchange
by Joe Morris (NTM) 04 Mar '07

04 Mar '07

I just ran into a problem, for which I have found a workaround, but am wondering if anyone (you know who you are Sandy :-) ) can shed some additional light to actually fix the problem. The scenario is I am now relaying through the Exchange server at our HQ (their choice). There are some domains that are being rejected because of Body Type not supported by Remote Host. The problem seems to be because Exchange advertises 8bitmime (the fix I implemented was to discard the 8bitmime ehlo keyword from their smtp server). Evidently, the domains we are having problems with do not support 8bitmime. My understanding is when Postfix sees the Exchange server does support it, it converts the message, reported as 7 bit in the email client, to 8 bit based on the 8bitmime response code of Exchange. When Exchange relays the message, and finds the destination smtp server does not support 8bitmime, it bounces it back. Since the message was 7 bit to start with, and telling Postfix to discard the 8bitmime ehlo response allows it to work, which is the problem? Should Postfix convert the message to 8bit? Is that the proper response to the 8bitmime ehlo response? Is the problem Exchanges non conversion to 7bit when the destination server does not support 8bitmime? IOW, they could configure Exchange to not advertise 8bitmime and it would work. Telling Postfix to discard the response from their server also works, but it is in the smtp compatibility section of the Postfix docs, which lead me to believe it was added to allow Postfix to work in the presence of a broken smtp server. My fix is a workaround, which if the problem is in Exchange, will only mask the real problem. As a matter of interest, one of the domains we are having problems with, apparently because of a lack of 8bitmime support, is aol.com. TIA for any light you can shed to actually resolve this problem. -- Joe Morris Registered Linux user 231871 running openSUSE 10.2 x86_64 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Hardware req. for server?
by Jan Karjalainen 04 Mar '07

04 Mar '07

What's the hardware requirements for openSUSE 10.2 in text mode only? I have a Pentium II 300MHz with 192 MB RAM, which I'm going to use as a web and ftp/nfs/samba server. Does it have enough horsepower, or should I look for another distro? /J -- "Attempted murder, really, what is that?

[opensuse] How to connect to MSSQL database?
by Cody Nelson 04 Mar '07

04 Mar '07

I seam to be having problems using perl or php to connect to a MSSQL database. The docs from both claim MSSQL support is built in, but the errors I get kind of suggest otherwise. Does Suse do something weird that I need to turn on, or do I have to break the Suse RPM manager and compile my own with the support built in? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

What do you use to partition and format a new hard drive? I tried to use Yast>Partitioner but it said I couldn't use that to do what I need done. It's a new bare SATA hard drive. -- (o:]>*HUGGLES*<[:o) Billie Walsh The three best words in the English Language: "I LOVE YOU" Pass them on! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
