[opensuse] MacBook2,1 hardware
by Sean Craig 02 May '07

02 May '07

Hi All, I've wedged SuSE 10.2 retail onto my new MacBook. This is the second generation Intel-based Macbook with the Core 2 Duo processor. The Apple profiler in OSX lists this as MacBook2,1 hardware. Only bluetooth and infrared don't work (haven't tried the iSight yet - but that's not important to me). I want to get these working, particularly the BT. Any pointers appreciated. I know that these devices worked on the previous generation Macbook, and I think this might be because Apple did not replace the hardware OEM vender / device IDs. The new kit is different - the vendor string is Apple. :-( The bluetooth device is something from Cambridge Silicon Radio. lsusb -v doesn't show anything immediately bluetoothy. lsusb -v reveals this for the IR: Bus 003 Device 002: ID 05ac:8240 Apple Computer, Inc. Device Descriptor: bLength 18 bDescriptorType 1 bcdUSB 2.00 bDeviceClass 0 (Defined at Interface level) bDeviceSubClass 0 bDeviceProtocol 0 bMaxPacketSize0 8 idVendor 0x05ac Apple Computer, Inc. idProduct 0x8240 bcdDevice 1.10 iManufacturer 1 Apple Computer, Inc. iProduct 2 IR Receiver iSerial 0 bNumConfigurations 1 So where do I go from here?

[opensuse] DNS + Static Ip + Different Hosting NS1/NS2 and Suse Mail Server
by kernel.2k5 02 May '07

02 May '07

Hello , I would first like to describe my Setup so that People can help me to make the correct settings at Last. 1. Having Suse 10.2 Box with 2 Network cards (eth0 / eth1) 2. eth1 is connected to external Router provided By ISP and Having Static Ip Provided By ISP 3. eth0 having connection sharing with Local LAN with Ip address : 192.168.0.1 Netmask : 255.255.255.0 Gateway : Static Ip of eth1 (ISP Provided) 4. there is ip_forward is enbled 5. /etc/resolv.conf Having 2 DNS Entries that too provided By ISP when they provide me router and Static IP. 6. Running firestarter for real time event logging and all internal LAN is accessing internet and Proxy of this Suse Box well. Then i Registered one Domain Name with another Hosting Organization " www.xyz.com" . Then Started Suse Box another Service i.e Mail Server and created four users MAILDIR format and Mail Domain Name as Static IP. Now i got a Domain Manger from my domain registrar along with there 2 DNS Name Servers like ns1.hosting.com / and ns2.hosting.com _/*What I want */_ i want to make this domain name to point to My Suse box so that i can host apache2 enabled site and my own Mail server . So how i can make this happen . i want my own Suse Mail Server running with this registered domain name . few days back i ask "Live Help" of My Domain Registrar so they told me to purchase a Hosting Plan and Web Hosting Manager and then Point MX Record to my Suse Static IP .But i Needs to upgrade a package from domain manager to Hosting Manager .which i dont want to do . Now Kindly any one help how can i make this Settings Happen. Hope I Explain well.

[opensuse] Drive assignments
by Tim Hanson 02 May '07

02 May '07

I elect not to have HAL assign media as I load / connect it, which means I manually mount everything. I know that my dvd writers are /dev/hdb and /dev/sro, and that my sata drives are /dev/sda, for example. What devices does my Sansa mp3 player use? There are two of them, one for the player itself and another for the installed micro-SD chip. Also, when connected the player behaves like two usb drives. -- The qotc (quote of the con) was Liz's: "My brain is paged out to my liver" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Vista and Samba shares
by Hans van der Merwe 02 May '07

02 May '07

Is there any progress in getting Samba and Vista to access each-others shares? I know you can change the NTLMv2 to v1 on Vista to make it work, but our IT guy wont fall for that - its a Samba issue according to him (and I sortof agree). How does OSX and older Windows clients get to access Vista?

[opensuse] Scanning via network
by Clayton 02 May '07

02 May '07

I"m trying to help a friedn set up his computer on 10.2. He has a Canon MP600R printer, scanner, kitchen sink. It's set up as a network device, and connected to his router. We've setup network printing (using the Canon 4200 driver) and it works perfectly. The next step is the scanner. It is also a network device. I know the IP address of the scanner/printer (used it to configure the printer) but...... I don"t really know how to set up the scanner as a network device. The YAST scanner setup has an option to enable or use a network scanner, but it seems to be expecting a scanner daemon running on another server.... whatever the Canon scanner is doing, it seems that it isn't providing the right answer back... Has anyone else played with network scanners? and maybe got the scanner on the Canon MP600R working?

The > micro or nano technology referring to the size of the dye used? Where > do you use the scanners? Whoops... waaay offtopic now. Lets move this to the Offtopic list Wafer stepper and scanner refers to the way in which the reticle is imaged on the wafer. In simple terms, a wafer stepper steps to a location on the wafer, the shutter is opened, the entire reticle image (the circuit pattern.. think photographic negative) is exposed on the wafer (using laser light) in an area usually 22mm x 22mm, the shutter is closed, and the machine steps to the next location and repeats. There is a lot of other things going on, like minute adjustments to compensate for the topology of the wafer, aberrations in the lens and so on, but this is the basics for how it works. A wafer scanner works similarly, but instead of exposing the entire image from the reticle in one "flash" of laser light, the image is scanned onto the wafer over an area usually 26mm x 33mm, in much the same way/principal as a photocopier works. OK, not exactly, but it's a good analogy. There isn't really dye involved in the process... it's called "resist". Again, think of it more in terms of photography. A photo-sensitive liquid (the resist) is applied to the wafer (making the wafer the rough equivalent to the film in your camera). It is sensitive to a certain light wavelength... like 193nM (current and experimental technology has successfully got it down to 30nM). When it is exposed to the laser light, the pattern from the reticle is left behind on the silicon wafer. The resist is washed off, and the process is repeated over and over building up the various layers. There are more processes involved depending on what you are making... but this should give you and idea of what is happening. There are all sorts of interesting problems and solutions working at this level. Like the resist for example... the polymer chains in the resist are long enough, and the lines being imaged are small enough, that you end up with "fuzzy" lines... the polymer chains in the resist fall out of the lines. There are solutions to this of course... different resists, different imaging techniques etc. An interesting industry if you like using massive machines to make incredibly tiny lines on silicon or ceramic. :-) The bigger the machine, the smaller the lines it can make.

[opensuse] Micro pauses, or CPU spikes?
by Clayton 02 May '07

02 May '07

I've been trying to chase down an extremely annoying problem I've been having. On what you could almost call heartbeat regularity, roughly once ever 2 to 3 seconds, my computer has been doing a micor-pause. One of the CPUs (AMD X2 3800+) spikes to 100% and everything freezes for a fraction of a second. You don't notice it unless you're watching a video file or playing a game... then it becomes annoying to the extreme. I don't have zmd installed.. or beagle... so I started looking into the processes running... stopping or killing one and seeing if it made a difference. I traced it down to ruby. If ruby is running I get the regular CPU spike. Kill it... problem is gone. I can't uninstall ruby without pulling down Amarok as well. Not much of an option. I know that Ruby is a scripting language... beyond that not a lot... question is, how is it that Ruby is killing my performance so much. If it's a scripting language.. what is it doing that spikes my CPU to 100%... or what would be using it and spiking the CPU with whatever it"s doing. Amarok hums along just fine with Ruby dead and gone.. no functionality is lost in Amarok - that I can see. Has anyone else noticed this issue? Any suggestions or ideas what is going on?
