I did upgrade to the latest/greatest NVidia (Quadro FX 1500M) drivers using the openSUSE links, so that issue supposedly is at least not part of the equation. thanks for the suggestions. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Adding php-mssql shared object to opensuse 10.3 to use freetds
by Jim & Tina Taitt 25 Jan '08

25 Jan '08

Hi, My name is Jim Taitt, I am running openSUSE 10.3 x86 where I am trying to build a Website which has to connect to a remote Windows 2003 server over the internet and connect to MSSQL Server 2000 to process orders. I have been able to do this using freetds and the php-mssql library which comes packaged in Fadora and RHEL, but my whole system of choice is SUSE. I am a programmer with a little knowledge of linux administration, so please forgive me if my questions are not expertly written. As far as I can see, OpenSuse does not have the php-mssql module as part of their distributions. I have compiled from source freetds and am able to make a test connection to the remote server from SUSE 10.3. The part I need help with is how to compile and add php-mssql to openSuse 10.3 ? If I were to compile php from scratch, I would add the configure flag with-mssql=/usr/local/freetds. It would be easy if I could just compile the module by itself and just add it to my existing setup of SUSE, but dont know what flags to choose for configure. Or better yet, could I get a file with the list of flags to set as they are in the current compilation of php 5.2.5 as they are in the current compilation of SUSE 10.3 , so I can compile my own complete version of PHP and have the confidence it is configured correctly to use in a production environment by using the same flags as used to setup openSuse 10.3. Oh yes, I have never worked with RPMs outside of Yast so I hope what I am asking makes sense in the above context. Thanks to all for any input. I have been working on this for a couple of weeks and am a really concerned that I get it configured correctly.

[opensuse] Personal Weather Stations
by Greg Freemyer 25 Jan '08

25 Jan '08

Okay Enthusiasts, I'm new to weather stations, so tell me what I'm doing right/wrong. Anyway these are my thoughts: === I bought my Dad a La Crosse weather station for his birthday so he can monitor the weather at his vacation house. (He's using XP today, but I want to move this to a dedicated Linux machine as soon as I figure out what software to use.) Using XP I configured his system to post to http://www.wxqa.com/ as part of the "Citizen's Weather Observation Program" (CWOP) which I think is connected to the world of Ham operators. (that's a good thing from my Dad's perspective). That in turn is forwarded to findu.com so he can see his weather history on that website. And also the XP system is creating a current conditions image and FTPing it up to a webserver. So what I need to replace is: 1) USB / serial port driver. (ie. the La Crosse weather console has a serial port, but at least currently I have that connected to a serial2usb adaptor that came with it.) 2) Software to read the serial (usb) data and show the current conditions on the screen. 3) Software to grab a copy of the current conditions and post that to a webserver in a nicely formatted view. 4.) Software to post a copy of the current conditions to the cwop servers so findu.com can display it. And I'm thinking of doing all of this on an old laptop, so it can be a small dedicated out of the way machine. That laptop has both a 9-pin serial and a usb port, so I can do whichever is easier. Any advice out there.

[opensuse] kernel 2.6.22.13-0.3-default causes instant reboot on Dell GX270
by Julian Dunn 25 Jan '08

25 Jan '08

I have a Dell GX270 here (Pentium 4 with HT) that will instantly reboot early in the kernel boot process with the above OpenSuSE kernel (I have 10.3 installed). The only way I can get it to boot is to use the failsafe option in GRUB. How can I start to debug this problem? - Julian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] opensuse 10.2 or 10.2 on production web server?
by Lamp Lists 25 Jan '08

25 Jan '08

hi, I'm looking for dedicated server to put websites of my clients. No shopping carts and ecommerce ("sensitive") sites but sites, but they are paid and clients expect to be up & live all the time. I found on hetzner.de VERY good offer and the review I read was really good. I decided to go for it. they offer as OS Debian 4.0 min/LAMP*, openSuSE 10.2 min, openSuSE 10.3 min/LAMP*, Ubuntu 7.04 min, Ubuntu 7.10 min. I already use openSuse 10.2, openSuse 10.3 on my desktop and laptop. Though, I'm a little bit concern about using 10.2 or 10.3 for "production" server? I would like to hear your opinion. Thanks. -ll ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile.
