[opensuse] RE:How to get old bugs just look at and may be accepted - OTJust a little
by Registration Account 30 May '07

30 May '07

In 2 separate discussions re Email clients I mention amongst some other strong, but desperately apparent issues with bug reporting and actioning. During the separate discussions I mentioned the number of outstanding bugs and enhancements for Evolution that have been logged and not looked at since 10.0. Well it appears people take more notice of the mail list than running reports in Bugzilla as I just got 14 bugs related solely on Evolution opened for consideration in one email hit. If you have a favourite application and have logged bugs and enhancements the best way of getting them actioned seems to be asking for help here on how to get around them. Unfortunately with the disastrous incident with 10.2 Evolution and KDE desktop, I had to change the company , and are very happy now with the new direction and commitment to Thunderbird. I might even get time off work and time off work at home to work one of my own new "extension" and see how I go I wont repeat the single harshly worded issue that concerned me, however I will say I get very distressed when some one sends me a need info and says "I don't believe you" - I just close the bug. If I report in a bug a procedure that is 100% reproducible and then someone sends me a needinfo for additional logs rather than perform 4 clicks for them self - I worry. I must say that on the whole the guys at Novell.de and Mozilla are really great and descent to deal with once they get to know you a little and I cannot imagine the shear number of bugs KDE gets. Good night Scott :-P 21:12 GMT +10

[opensuse] RE: Have you experienced a general sligish DNS resolution - OT - Just slightly
by Registration Account 30 May '07

30 May '07

I would be interested in others feeling/experience about the very slow resolution of browser enquiries of typical ISP - Particularly if you are in Australia. I ran some stats on my ISP's DNS servers ability to resolve enquiries - The stats were surprising in the number of re-try and Drops. My ISP is a real one and not a partition of bigpond or optusnet. This is particularly noticeable now my speed has increased to min 24000/1000kbps via a DSLAM link. For others it is interesting that Australia being so isolated; the amount of bandwidth available to get out of the country to the nearest major hub is limited and ultimate accessibility to TLD's requires an enormous amount of hops. A situation you don't every need to think about in North America or Europe. To illustrate our delima all you need to do is a traceroute on you ISP's DNS server(s) in .AU. To try to overcome the situation I have set-up my own DNS server - to make all my enquiries and rightly or wrongly I have added zones well up the TLD ladder - I'll probably get kicked off some of my zones but s far o.k (My first zone is a root server in Japan) Put simply the enquiry is Has anyone (particularly living in AU) noticed a slow response or incomplete resolution of DNS from their ISP. My apologies first and foremost for what appears to be a parochial issue. I hate being that way. Scott

[opensuse] unable to connect to network printer
by mickeydog 30 May '07

30 May '07

I am unable to connect to a network printer in opensuse 10.2 The printer is an HP 4101 mfp. I have tried using Yast and Webmin using the printer's ip addresss/port but no joy. I can ping the printer's ip address. I get an error using the lpadmin command: #lpadmin -d 111.222.33.44 lpadmin: Unable to connect to server: Connection refused. (This is the same error I get using Yast) The firewall on this machine is turned off. This machine is dual boot and I can use the printer on the Win XP side. What can I do? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

30 May '07

Hi all, On my new reinstall of openSuse10.2, I installed rkhunter 1. 28 and updated thru the command line. When I run it in command line, it reports no errors. But when it runs its daily run, it reports the following 2 errors in root email.... ---------- Please inspect this machine, because it can be infected ------------ ----------- running daily cronjob scripts SCRIPT: suse.de-rkhunter exited with RETURNCODE = 1. SCRIPT: output (stdout && stderr) follows Line: Watch out Root login possible. Possible risk! Some errors has been found while checking.

[opensuse] ADSL wanadoo France: speedtouch problem
by Daniel Bauer 30 May '07

30 May '07

Hi everybody, Somebody here with experiences with adsl-wanadoo-france-speedtouch? I wanted to help a friend to migrate from WinXP to Linux. Installation of openSUSE 10.2 on his Dell went without any difficulty, but I can't get this !*%# speedtouch "modem" to connect to wanadoo ADSL... The first problem is already that I don't understand, why a ADSL line needs a "modem" and not a router or at least a ADSL Network Terminator. Well, with XP it kind of works, so I guess wanadoo has a very special kind of ADSL? So I went to http://en.opensuse.org/Speedtouch_330 (and not to http://en.opensuse.org/Speedtouch_330_PPPoE because the above looked shorter and easier :-) ) and went thru the steps described there. Finally I clicked KInternet to connect. Here again I don't understand why I need KInternet, as I used this last time some years ago with my analog modem... However, KInternet recognized the "modem", tried to connect, and then the connection died with the message "a modem hung up the phone (exit code 16)". So this is all I achieved and after googling for hours now I am competely confused. I find different information and have no clue, which one I should follow, like, for example, the said Suse-page says VPI/VCI Numbers are 8.67 while http://www.linux-usb.org/SpeedTouch/faq/index.html#q12 says it's 8.35. Can you help me help my friend? regards Daniel -- Daniel Bauer photographer Basel Switzerland professional photography: http://www.daniel-bauer.com erotic art photos: http://www.bauer-nudes.com/en/linux.html Madagascar special: http://www.sanic.ch -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Well, GLX requires hardware support and vnc is a software "virtual" frame buffer so I'm surprised it would ever work... but then I'm not sure what is supposed to happen if the client (vncviewer) is running on a machine with hardware support for GLX then does it work? I still cannot imagine that it would run fast enough to make it worth it. -- Kind regards, M Harris <>< -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Hi List, I am unable to run GLX through the tightvnc remote connection via ssh tunneling (using KDE or fwm or gnome, but was possible on MandrakeKde). GLX runs on local login. Any idea if this is possible at all?
