What's your problem? Both the distribution and the available updates are still there, below ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ and all its mirrors, e.g., on ftp.gwdg.de. And somebody also repaired the link at the Wiki page above.

[opensuse] Is the Suse Linux 10.0 repository gone?
by Johannes Meixner 01 Apr '08

01 Apr '08

Hello, a user told me that http://en.opensuse.org/Package_Repositories lists repositories for version 10.0 but access results usually "Error 404". In particular access fails via http://download.opensuse.org/ while there seems to be something accessible via http://ftp5.gwdg.de/ Is Suse Linux 10.0 no longer available? If yes, there was probably a big announcement but at least I missed it and additionally it seems I am blind because I don't find it on openSUSE.org.

[opensuse] Kmail & Spamassassin
by Kaare Rasmussen 01 Apr '08

01 Apr '08

I've recently installed the Spamassassin filter for Kmail. It sure removes some spam, but not nearly enough. Typycally it will remove approximately 75 out of 175 spam messages, leaving 100 left for me to sift through. I've let it learn what is spam for a week or so now, with absolutely no impact on the ratio. Obviously, I wonder if I register spam in vain, did I forget something, do I have to few messages (don't know how to see the numbers, but I guess I have 1-2.000 spam messages registered), or is it not that efficient to have identified spam as I thought? -- Med venlig hilsen Kaare Rasmussen, Jasonic Jasonic Telefon: +45 3816 2582 Nordre Fasanvej 12 2000 Frederiksberg Email: kaare(a)jasonic.dk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Re: [opensuse] Unstable system - culprit identified

(I hope I remembered that right ;-) One issue that looks promising as the culprit is the nvidia module. Were you by chance also loading the nvidia module on your Gigabyte system? What video card were you using? Also, what is a good torture test to run to see if I can make the system lock. IIRC you were using mprime. Any other simple ones you know of? Thanks. -- David C.

[opensuse] envvar DISPLAY not set on bash invocation fr/sshd
by Linda Walsh 01 Apr '08

01 Apr '08

I noticed, recently, that when I log into a 10.3 based system, my DISPLAY variable isn't being set to "[localhost:10.0]" (or anything). I've upgraded more packages since I last knew it was working, but don't remoteX from this machine regularly, so I don't know exactly when it broke. I thought I'd not configured something 'obvious' but I compared it with another machine running 10.3 which is working and I can't figure out what the difference is between the two. I've tried two separate environments logging into both machines (SecureCRT && Cygwin). Behavior is the same (fails on newer upgraded machine, but not the older one). REMOTEHOST is being set on both machines, as expected. I've been trying to figure out 'when' during the ssh-login process it might be failing. known failure is when bash's /etc/profile is called -- top of the file I temporarily tossed in an edit on both machines and DISPLAY wasn't making it to at that point. The /etc/sshd_config files on both machines are identical except for names of local network interfaces to listen on. The user's .ssh/ssh_config files is the same on both. The '/etc/security/pam_env.conf files are the same. pam_env is configured for use on both machines /etc/pam.d/common-auth, seemingly correctly. I'm guessing there must be some other place along the login chain that somehow is different -- isn't it ->(sshd)->pam->login->bash? Anyone know of other places that might try to block 'ssh' envvars being passed in? Thanks much.. -Linda -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Is it possible to remove a disappeared Panel, and install a new one?
by Stan Goodman 01 Apr '08

01 Apr '08

It is really difficult to operate without the Panel that has vanished, because it contains the virtual desktops. If I could destroy the thing and make a new one, and could emplace the applets on it as they were, life would be much easier. Can that be done? -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
