[opensuse] Wnn8 での日本語入力が不可に
by 野宮　賢 / NOMIYA Masaru 31 Jul '07

31 Jul '07

野宮です． OpenSuSE 10.2 で日本語入力に Wnn8 を使っていますが，昨日から Emacs 上以外での日本語入力が出来なくなり，困っています．先の山中さんのメールや，それに対する今井さんのアドヴァイスを参考にして調べ回りましたが，原因が解らずにいました．当然のことながら，Wnn8 の Uninstall，install は何度もやりました．で，ふと，top コマンドで観ますと， 1 zombie という表示が表れ，何だろう，と調べて観ますと， 5704 masaru 18 0 0 0 0 Z 0 0.0 0:00.01 httx <defunct> となっており，これだな！，と思い，色々調べてみましたが，zombie の消し方が解りません．これは，どのようにすれば宜しいのでしょうか？因に，iiimf，wnn8 を uninstall し，X を起動しますと，この zombie は消えます．再度 install しますと，またぞろ，この zombie が現れます．(;_;) 対処方をお教え戴きたく，宜しくお願いします． --- 野宮賢 mail-to: nomiya @ galaxy.dti.ne.jp 「eメールや携帯電話に縛られた社会は、自分自身と向き合ったり、空想にふけったりする自由を奪う。」 -- M.

[opensuse] Ideal Linux desktop hardware
by Matthew Stringer 31 Jul '07

31 Jul '07

Hi, I'm wanting to build myself a new desktop PC for home shortly as my current one is getting long in the tooth (Athlon +XP 2600!) I was wondering if anyone knows of a hardware review site that specifically looks at hardware from a Linux users point of view? Am thinking Intel CPU and chipset with nVidia graphics although my current nForce chipset board has never been that stable under Linux.

[opensuse] Please help me to get the feature 'spotlight bracket pairing' back.
by Patrik Hasibuan 31 Jul '07

31 Jul '07

Dear my friends, I downloaded and compiled bluefish on my SuSE10.2 as usual this way: " ./configure --enable-unicode make make install " It runs properly but it seems my bluefish looses a small thing but it's very important for me. Previously, my bluefish showed the couple/pair of a bracket. If my cursor standed on an 'opening braket' ('{') than my bluefish will spotlight its 'closing bracket' ('}') (pair of the 'opening bracket' such as '{') . But this time my bluefish does not have this feature. Please help me to get the feature 'spotlight bracket pairing' back. Thank you very much in advance. -- Patrik Hasibuan <patrikh(a)penguin-teknologi.com> Junior Programmer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] gcc Linking Problem
by Daniel Feiglin 31 Jul '07

31 Jul '07

Hello folks! During the course of trying to build an app from the tgz sources, I received an odd looking message that gcc could not create an executable. After a little research, I tried to compile the canonical "Hello, world" program with this: gcc -o hello hello.c and I got this: daniel@danny:~> gcc -o hello hello.c /usr/lib/gcc/i586-suse-linux/4.1.2/../../../crt1.o: In function `_start': (.text+0xc): undefined reference to `__libc_csu_fini' /usr/lib/gcc/i586-suse-linux/4.1.2/../../../crt1.o: In function `_start': (.text+0x11): undefined reference to `__libc_csu_init' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status I've never seen anything like that before (since SuSE 6.1). Can anyone tell me what's going on here & how to fix it? Environment: openSUSE 10.2, kernel 2.6.18.8-0.3-default. I'm using gcc as provided. gcc -v gives: Using built-in specs. Target: i586-suse-linux Configured with: ../configure --enable-threads=posix --prefix=/usr --with-local-prefix=/usr/local --infodir=/usr/share/info --mandir=/usr/share/man --libdir=/usr/lib --libexecdir=/usr/lib --enable-languages=c,c++,objc,fortran,obj-c++,java,ada --enable-checking=release --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/c++/4.1.2 --enable-ssp --disable-libssp --disable-libgcj --with-slibdir=/lib --with-system-zlib --enable-shared --enable-__cxa_atexit --enable-libstdcxx-allocator=new --program-suffix=-4.1 --enable-version-specific-runtime-libs --without-system-libunwind --with-cpu=generic --host=i586-suse-linux Thread model: posix gcc version 4.1.2 20061115 (prerelease) (SUSE Linux) ld -v gives: GNU ld version 2.17.50.0.5 20060927 (SUSE Linux) Cheers, Daniel

Re: [opensuse] Apache
by Willem Grooters 31 Jul '07

FWIW: If you want to do this using plain http or (anonymous) ftp, the answer is likely to be "no". You can do so, however, if the download is under control of a CGI procedure, started by a <FORM> on a plain HTTP page (Either static of dynamically created). In this procedure, you can check the size of the file and decide to return the file, or a page stating the file is too big to download, or any other message of your choice (or just disconnect, which is, IMHO, not very polite). If you wish files to be protected agains unauthorized download, it might even be a better solution, because the files can be loaded anywhere, and you can require authentication before downloading the file.

[opensuse] [hope not OT] asking for office network optimize suggestions
by Zhang Weiwu 31 Jul '07

31 Jul '07

Dear all: Due to the extremely bad competition between ISPs in my country (bad competition means competition that doesn't leads to better quality but leads to division of the Internet) it's very hard for me to figure out a way that solves my connectivity problems. As demonstrated in the attached graph (made with dia), we have one server on the internet, and 3 offices, office A, office B and office C. Each office must use different ISP because of the location of the office (each city is occupied by a different ISP). Here is the connection quality. ======= Table: connection quality ======= [office A] <-almost impossible to connect-> [office C] [office B] <-almost impossible to connect-> [office C] [office B] <- very fast and realiable -> [office A] [office B] <- very fast and realiable -> [internet server "bossdog"] [office C] <- very fast and realiable -> [internet server "bossdog"] [office A] <-almost impossible to connect-> [internet server "bossdog"] Note: All the "almost impossible to connect" means the ISP of the two sides compete by (almost) blocking each other using bandwidth limit, a problem existed in my country for years. The goal is fast and reliable inter-communication within the company. First idea I have is to install VPN service the best-connected hosts. The two best connected hosts are the host in office B ("renaissance") and "bossdog", see connection quality table. The connection quality from every office to the Internet server "bossdog" is the top priority, thus I have only one choice: to install VPN on office B ("renaissance") and let office A dial to office B so that it gets fast access to Internet server "bossdog". The problem remaining is office C cannot access to hosts and servers in office A, but let's just face this impossibility and accept it. Before I begin I post my plan on the mailing list as past experience suggested me that my humble ideas often have faults and there are often very good ideas coming from kindly help on the list. I'd like to hear some suggestions. Thank you very much for your comment and I really appreciate. Another question is, if I install VPN on "renaissance" and let office A dial to this VPN server, I can 1) install VPN client on every workstation in office A and ask everyone to dial or 2) install NAT firewall on the router "hatch.realss.com" and let hatch.realss.com dial to renaissance.realss.com, and masqueraded all workstation connections. (maybe there are other possibilities, but I only know this two methods.) Which one of 1) and 2) would be better for my case? -- 锐业软服（国内业务） http://www.realss.cn Real SoftService http://www.realss.com 销售咨询(Sales Department): 0086 592 20 99987 (Chinese, German, English) 国际业务(International Sales): 0086 10 8460 6011 (German and English) 联系：厦门大学科技园，嘉庚二号楼6楼邮政：厦门大学2312号信箱（邮编361005）
