I have two alternatives: create each directory manually, or run "make install" (as root), followed by "checkinstall". This is not clean. Ideas? - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

[opensuse] Yast Mail Tranfer Agent doesn't update relayhost in main.cf of Postfix
by Lívio Cipriano 06 Oct '08

06 Oct '08

Hi, I'm using openSuse 11 and I use sendmail as the transport agent of my e-mail client: KMail. In previous openSuSE versions, Yast MTA writed the name of the relayhost in the main.cf file of Postfix. Now is not doing it. I had to copy all Postfix config files from the 10.3 installation for Postfix work as it worked: delivering my e-mail throughout a external SMTP server. After that copy, I tried to changed the name of the relayserver in 11 with Yast and it did write a new name in main.cf. I'm I doing something wrong or it's a bug? -- Regards, Lívio Cipriano -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] nvidia regression
by Bob S 06 Oct '08

06 Oct '08

Hello SuSE people, Last night I had a nvidia upgrade in my 10.3 X86-64 Of course today when I booted up I was dumped to level 3 wiithout graphics. I made my way to the XF86Config and changed "nvidia" to "nv" which gave me my graphic screen again. Question is: Does the old nvidia driver reside on my machine someplace? or at least which one was replaced (number ID) because I would like the old one back. I know I can go to the SuSE repository or to the nvidia site but I don't know which one to pick or install.

[opensuse] Tomcat6?
by Ray Madigan 06 Oct '08

06 Oct '08

I don't know if this is the right place to post this. I am trying to use the opensuse distribution of tomcat 6 and am haveing a rough time of it. Usually I go to the source distribution, tomcat.apache.org, and us that. I for some reason thought that the one packaged for the os might be easier to install/manage. So I have tomcat working for the sample app, thats not hard because it doesn't do anything. My app wants to use dbcp and when I launch my app i get the error message java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp.BasicDataSourseFactory. I read the tomcat6 documentation and they say their is supposed to be a lib tomcat-dbcp.jar in $CATALINA_HOME/lib but it isn't there? Does anybody understand this or do I go and install the distribution from tomcat. I just have a deadline and I don't know how I will even get close because of this upgrade :-(.

[opensuse] YaST2 not working but YaST does
by Adam Jimerson 05 Oct '08

05 Oct '08

In the past couple of days I have noticed that YaST2 will not load anymore on my laptop with openSUSE 11.0 and KDE 4.1.x, but yast does work. When I call YaST2 from the command line this is what I get: SE-03:/home/vendion # yast2 No protocol specified y2controlcenter: cannot connect to X server :0.0 Any clue as to what is going on? -- "We must plan for freedom, and not only for security, if for no other reason than only freedom can make security more secure."

[opensuse] Virtualbox binary, Slow writes to smb shares [Solved]
by David C. Rankin 05 Oct '08

05 Oct '08

Listmates, With virtual box 2.0.2, I experienced extreme slow writes from an XP guest to any mapped SMB (samba) shares. Reads from SMB shares were fine. The problem was with a virtualbox .dll installed on the windows side. The fix requires downloading a patch/replacement VBoxMRXNP.dll to replace the original in \windows\system32. The patch and details are found at: http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/1728 Hope this saves some time.. -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.

Re: [opensuse] How to set up the wireless connection for TeleCom router

They are turned off by unplugging them) - a small button bearing the name "Reg", - the power plug. The D-Link has * a port for ADSL * 4 Etherner ports (named LAN1, LAN2, LAN3, LAN4) * a whole named "Reset" * the power plug In the current configuration there is 1. a cable going from the D-Link ADSL port to the ADSL filter plugged into the telephone jack. 2. an ethernet cable going from the D-Link LAN1 to the Windows PC Ethernet port. I guess what you are suggesting is a sort of cascade or serial connection for the two routers ??? However, it's a littel bit confusing to me which one of the two routers is to be connected to the ADSL filter in this new settings. How am I supposed to plug the D-Link into a port on the new TeleCom Gate 2 Plus ? Shall I connect the two router through an Ethernet cable going from D-Link LAN2 to GATE 2 Eth1 ??? Of course GATE 2 must be connected to the power outlet. In this configuration the ADSL port of GATE 2 is not used at all. Am right ? _______________________________________________________________________ I have done this with FIOS. D-Link in one with all computer connections and Vonage digital phone into another. Both work flawlessly. ________________________________________________________________________ TeleCom digital phone, called Aladino, comes wit a base and a cordless phone. Are you suggesting me to plug Aladino base into GATE Eth2 ? Is the ADSL signal band affected al all from this set-up? Shall I expect the signal power to drop because of the splitting ? I am a little bit concerned at getting an even slower download speed. It should be 7 Mb/s but it is actually only 1.8 Mb/s. I formally complained with TeleCom. They state this is due to the old cables, carrying the signal, that need to be replaced with optic fiber ________________________________________________________________________ This may not solve the total problem, but if it works, it will minimize all the putzing around. The D-Link setup should remain the same. _______________________________________________________________________ If the intensity of the signal is not affected then the solution you suggested is ideal as it avoids reconfiguring badically all my systems: WIndows, Linux, and Mac. If I got it right then D-Link would still be the only router. While GATE 2 would just be an appendix geared to provide VoIP (digital phone) communication with Aladino ________________________________________________________________________ If it doesn't work (i.e. there is only one ethernet port on the TeleCom), try the phone device between the Telecom and the D-Link. Or, the D-Link between the Telecom and the phone device. ______________________________________________________________________ Aladino (VoIP communication) won't work directly with D-Link. This is a commercial constraint used by Internet providers to force users to buy all equipments carrying the same brand name. Thank you very much.
