[opensuse] How to speed up Ktorrent
by Art Fore 11 Aug '07

11 Aug '07

I am downloading suse 10.3 beta 2 with Ktorrent, however, it says it is going to take 3 days. Why is it so slow and is there any way to speed it up? Average down speed is 12 KB/Sec while upload is 21 KB/Sec. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Hi all, I'm new to Kontact. Looked through all the possible options. Where can I select the default browser in e-mails to be opened by FireFox in stead of Konqueror? :-) Al -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Klamav Upgrade
by Fernando Costa 11 Aug '07

11 Aug '07

Hi all I have tried to upgrade Klamav using the wizard to download and recompile it automatically, but it seems that I don't have installed the libraries to do so. Initially when installed openSUSE I didn't install any development tool, but it seems is necessary now, in yast I have surfed in the patterns and have selected gcc++ libraries but it seems is not enough... what libraries i must install in order to recompiling....

Re: [opensuse] Cannot burn DVDs from the command line

Do not attempt to format a +R disk... (blushing) now that I think again about it, the disc which is in the drive right *now* surely is a -R (not +R but it doesn't make any difference as far as formatting, does it?) drive which was formatted, that is made unwriteable as you say, right? So, shame on me for *this* specific disc, I'll trash it and retry as soon as I'm back at that PC a few hours from now. Lesson one: either DVD-R or DVD+R discs must NOT be formatted before burning, OK? Fact is, I came here in despair _after_ I had had some almost identical problems, which unfortunately I failed to write down, with other -R discs which I had not blanked so I am still pretty sure there is not only my own lack of sleep at work here. Which surely is present, I promise I will sleep and try to avoid dumb things like formatting -R discs after I've saved those files... > > Otherwise, the last time I came across this kind of issue was with a > possibly flakey tape unit sharing the same cable as the the DVD unit. Inside this box (the motherboard is the one I said in the other message) there are only one sata disc and this burner Not sure if they are connected via the same cable. I believe they aren't because when I assembled it for the owner I remember it had plenty of connectors for just two drives, so it is very likely I put them on separate cables going to separate connectors/controllers on the board. I will check as soon as I get there again. Thanks, Ando -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Services start order affecting shutdown?
by Hylton Conacher (ZR1HPC) 11 Aug '07

11 Aug '07

Hi, I have a machine that is cycled once a day. On the shutdown of the machine I notice that amavisd-new has to be given a KILL signal by the system after it fails to end after the system has given it a TERM signal. I am wondering whether my recent foray into Yast:System:System Services has something to do with it as I was having issues with ClamAv. I no longer have a problem with ClamAv and everything I disabled has been re-enabled but I am wondering if the order I did it in is important ie where there is a 'parent' and 'children' processes ie amavisd as a parent and Spamassassin, ClamAv are the child processes. Should the parent processes be started first or the child ones ie start amavisd before or after spamd and clam? Should I remember it like real life ie you can't have kids without parents so parents have to be started first?

[opensuse] Upgrading OpenOffice 2.0 to 2.2
by Fernando Costa 11 Aug '07

11 Aug '07

Hi all, I have tried to upgrade from OpenOffice 2.0 to OpenOffice 2.2 but when the dependencies are being solved, it says that plenty of programs must be removed, between them, some kde games and many other that appereantly have no relation with the OpenOffice suite.... I dowloaded the rpm from the Open Office additional yast repositories... any idea?

[opensuse] DVD burner wrongly seen as a UDMA/100 device? was: Cannot burn DVDs from the command line

See below for growisofs error codes... > http://pcburn.com/article.php?sid=2127 After reading that page more carefully I realized that it basically says "if your DVD burner is connected to a UDMA/33 cable and the system tries to use it as a UDMA/100 device, you'll experience errors". So: 1) can it be something similar in my case? Considering that that drive (IIRC) burned CD-roms just fine? And the fact that the error code i get is not exactly the same? 2) How do I check it for sure, that is how do I recognize if there is a UDMA/33 cable while the system believes to have a UDMA/100 device? And how do I fix it if this is what happening? In the bios? How? Or in some config file? (changing the cable, ie turning off the pc, I'd rather avoid it if at all possible, since as I mentioned the system is quite unstable and it would really be better to burn the dvds before powering it off) Thanksa thousand!
