[opensuse] ssh can not use dns anymore
by Richard Bos 03 Jul '07

03 Jul '07

Hi, a very weird problem with ssh and dns... Suddenly since Sunday evening my (default) desktop system does not resolve system names (dns) when using ssh. E.g. # ssh user(a)domain.tld results in (by heart): system name can not be resolved # ping domain.tld results in an ip address X # ssh user@X this just works.... When I use: # ssh user(a)domain.tld on another desktop system it just works. My default desktop system and this other desktop system use the same /home as the latter is a nfs exported file system. Both are suse-10.2 AFAICS nothing has changed on my default desktop system, no new rpms and the config files in /etc/did not change. Does anyone have an idea what is causing this particular behaviour? -- Richard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] modem not responding
by Paul Ollion 03 Jul '07

03 Jul '07

Hello all I cannot use the modem on my laptop. wit OpenSuse 10.2 The cpu Is an Intel Centrino 1.7 Ghz. with 2048 K cache. here is the output of the lspci -v command about the modem : 0000:00:1f.6 Modem: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Modem Controller (rev 03) (prog-if 00 [Generic]) Subsystem: QUANTA Computer Inc: Unknown device 6601 Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 0, IRQ 11 I/O ports at 2400 [size=256][disabled] I/O ports at 2000 [size=128][disabled] Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2 This same modem works under SuSE 9.3 but the I/O ports are not said to be disabled by lspci. I went to the support site and was instructed to use the setserial comand, but it did not change anything. Consulted lots of archives, but found nothing relevant. How can I enable these ports ? Is there anything I should download to patch ? I cannot download many things, since I am on a slow dialup connection. However I could install OpenSuse 10.2 on another machine with an external modem and it worked. could you help me for this one, please ?

[opensuse] Strange dns fails to start
by Fajar Priyanto 03 Jul '07

03 Jul '07

Hello all, I installed zimbra on my Opensuse10.2. All was ok. Until I rebooted it, bind failed to start with this error: # rcnamed restart ..dead Shutting down name server BIND - Warning: named not running! done Starting name server BIND /usr/sbin/named: error while loading shared libraries: libldap-2.3.so.0: failed to map segment from shared object: Operation not permitted startproc: exit status of parent of /usr/sbin/named: 127 failed I've searched zimbra's forum and there's some guys with the same problem. The proposed solution is to uninstall bind and compile again from source. Have anyone encountered this?

[opensuse] wlan and ndiswrapper
by Pueblo Native 03 Jul '07

03 Jul '07

i have a D-Link GW122 I'm running through ndiswrapper, comes up fine and anything. The thing is, though I have to wait until KDE is up to actually switch on over because my system keeps trying the ethernet card. Is there anyway to make my system to to the wlan first? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Smart GUI making me mad
by Hans van der Merwe 03 Jul '07

03 Jul '07

I have post this before, but now someone must really help me - Im going insane. Every time Smart (and some other GTK apps) generate an error dialog it drops right down behind all my windows. There is no window in the taskbar and I have to minimize all to get to it. Help please. ps. Also, I have found that most Python GTK apps sometimes "loose" input on buttons - when I hover over a button while the app is busy and then try and click it (after it has come back) its unresponsive - I have to move the cursor off the button and back on before it recognises the input.

[opensuse] TaskManager Equivalent?
by Jerry Houston 03 Jul '07

03 Jul '07

I'm still getting my feet wet with Linux, and looking for equivalents to familiar tools in the Windows environment. Does there exist an approximate equivalent to the Windows TaskManager (taskman.exe)? I'm looking for a way to assure myself that there really IS something happening when there's no apparent activity in the UI. (And if something is indeed happening, just what that something is.) I can't imagine that Linux doesn't have an equivalent, but I haven't found it on my own yet.

[opensuse] Strange sound problem
by Pueblo Native 03 Jul '07

03 Jul '07

I've started to have a problem where the sound on my system will go off every once in a while, and I have to go into yast to reset the controls on the card. KMix has a plug icon located at the top that I haven't seen. Where exactly would I need to check and what log files would I need to look at. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Digital Camera support
by Jerry Feldman 03 Jul '07

03 Jul '07

I just shot about 400 pictures on a trip, and I was wondering what the best way to manage the Digital camera on SuSE 10.1. While I am a long time SuSE user, the other camera we have is my wife's and she uses that other OS. I know I should easily be able to transfer the pictures as the system will view the camera as a removable disk (or I can use the SD card directly). I'm more interested in managing the pictures and adding captions. -- Jerry Feldman <gaf(a)blu.org> Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9
