[opensuse] Opensuse 10.3b beta-1 IDE harddrive
by Robert Lewis 12 Aug '07

12 Aug '07

Ok, I messed up and had my IDE harddrive set for slave. After quite a long tme a small one line message warned me that no harddrive was present. However, I went on for grins and it then told the installation to install the repositories. Before the actual hard failure where the file system would be written a lot of time passed. I think it would have been better to have checked early on for a proper harddrive and if not present then abort. Should this be bugreported? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] postfix isn't accepting connections anymore. Any changes to postfix?
by Johannes Nohl 12 Aug '07

12 Aug '07

Dear list, I ran out of ideas. My postfix installation on a opensuse 10.0 isn't accepting connections anymore. Out of sudden!! I didn't change anything (last what I did was using the apt upgrades for apache and php the day before but there can't be any relation I guess). While port 25 is dead submission port 587 is working as expected. Log files are still growing since spammers were rejected (mail and mail.info). I tried everything I could think of (in my panic including a restart of the machine :-x) - turned firewall in yast on/off - tried with telnet remote and from localhost - googled the lines of the log files Is there anything recent I should know about postfix?? Is there a heavy spam attack? But it's not slow it isn't working anymore...Webserver and cyrus imap is running as it should. Thanks for any help. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Conclusion of: Cannot burn DVDs from the command line

To the best of my knowledge, right now, the only problem seems to have been either DVD-R discs which *I* blanked before attempting to burn ;-) because I hadn't slept enough, or truly defective ones. Starting again the whole procedure with another new box of DVD-R didn't show any of the problems I reported and all the files have been backed up safely. Sorry for all the confusion, and sincere thanks to all those who helped and made me learn several things that will be useful in other (less embarassing for me, I hope...) future occasions. Sorry also for using a broken email client like this, without threading and all, but I'm not at my place these days and this was quite an emergency.

I don't see what that has to do with it, since the Reader product is distributed free of charge. Quite unlike Acrobat itself, which is as grossly overpriced as all Adobe's products. > > > kai Randall Schulz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] suse 10.3 beta1 64-bit dvd problem
by Art Fore 12 Aug '07

12 Aug '07

Downloaded the 64 bit suse 10.3 beta1 via torrent. After 3 days of downloading, I can burn the dvd, md5 checks OK, but, machine will not boot from it. Burned another, same thing. I can read the files on the disk, just not boot from it. Is this a bug or is there something special with this dvd.

[opensuse] fish protocol and > 2.6.20 kernel problem fixed in 10.3 beta?
by Joe Morris (NTM) 12 Aug '07

12 Aug '07

Can anyone please check and see if fish protocol is working in the 10.3 betas. In 10.2 IIRC it does not work properly with a kernel greater than 2.6.20 or so. It seems to be some interaction between fish in the kernel, as the original kernel works fine, and it is not limited to openSUSE, see http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=145123 for more info. Since I use fish quite a bit, I have went back to the 2.6.18 series kernel (i.e. latest updated 10.2 kernel) where it still works. -- Joe Morris Registered Linux user 231871 running openSUSE 10.2 x86_64 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
