by Fernando Costa 26 Jul '07

26 Jul '07

Hi all! I have a desktop computer with Windows XP Home and I'm not able to connect to it through my wireless network with my laptop with openSUSE 10.2 and KDE 3.5.7, I can see it but I'm not able to access it, I have shared the folders within Windows, set the firewall, but nothing... However, when I'm working with th Windows machine I can see my openSUSE machine an access it, so I can access from Windows machine to openSUSE machine but not the other way around... I also have Ubuntu installed in my laptop and from Ubuntu I can access the windows machine without problems...

[opensuse] kmix doesn't start automatically any more
by ti＠amb.org 26 Jul '07

26 Jul '07

Kmix used to always start automatically (in the task tray) each time I log in to KDE. Now it doesn't do that any more. I have to manually start it. How do I get it to auto-start again? The Kmix main window -> Settings -> Configure KMix has all check boxes enabled "Dock into panel", "Enable system tray volume control", "Restore volumes on login", etc. I clicked "Apply" or "OK" but it still doesn't make it auto-start. -Ti -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] KDM: Cannot log in as regular user
by ti＠amb.org 26 Jul '07

26 Jul '07

Hi all, something strange has happened. My SUSE 10.0 machine was working well for many moons, but today I had to reboot to try some BIOS setting changes. After restoring the BIOS setting to what it was and booting up the system I was no longer able to log in via the KDM login screen. After typing in the user name and password, the screen blanks for a moment and the login screen reappears. I can log in as root into KDE, though. Also, I tried various GUI environments other than KDE (fvwm, twm , etc.) and the same problem happens. The only environment that I could successfully log in as a normal user is "failsafe". After logging in under failsafe, if I type the "startkde" command then KDE starts fine. If I close the failsafe terminal window then my whole session gets logged out. I don't see anything obviously wrong in the log files. I also tried removing everything in /tmp and /var/tmp to clean up the KDE temporary stuff, but it didn't help. Any suggestions how to fix this? I googled and it seems this problem has affected others too, but none of the suggested fixes works for me. -Ti -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] How to avoid duplicate large emails ?
by Ronald Wiplinger 26 Jul '07

I am looking for a system to avoid duplicate large emails! E.g.: Peter found a nice pps file and send it to a couple of friends. One of them send this email to a couple of others (well, not only others, I am included again), .... I get the same email then over the time 10 times! I am looking for a way that people can "upload" the so important information and only send info about a new file stored there (or just let each friend subscribe via RSS). Is something like that available or where to start? bye Ronald -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] DomainKeys/DKIM for outbound mail
by Marlier, Ian 25 Jul '07

25 Jul '07

Hey, all -- I'm looking at setting up domainkeys for outbound mail from my domain. (For those not familiar, domainkeys is a Yahoo invention that is supposed to reduce spam. More info at http://antispam.yahoo.com/domainkeys, and on its "successor", DKIM, at http://www.dkim.org/.) I'm using an opensuse 10.2 machine as my outbound relay. It's using postfix as my MTA, and doing the normal outbound relay stuff. It looks to me like domainkeys support for postfix is provided by dkimproxy, which runs as a daemon and has mail fed to it via config in the master.cf file. This works fine, and isn't hard to set up, but it's also not packaged up and stuff. I'm worried about using a package that's outside of the RPM framework, and the opensuse distribution tree. So, I'm wondering: - Have other folks set up domainkeys signing on an opensuse 10.2 machine? Using dkimproxy, or a different MTA, or via some other method? - If I end up having to go with dkimproxy, has anyone packaged it? I haven't found it in RPM form anywhere, but that doesn't mean that it doesn't exist... Any and all help very appreciated!
