It's been so long since I set it up, I don't remember the details, but http://gwenole.beauchesne.info/en/projects/nspluginwrapper/help seems like a good starting point.

As someone else suggested, make sure you've got nspluginwrapper installed. I'm running 64-bit Firefox on x86_64 and flash works (I won't say it works "fine" because the flash player for Linux has general performance issues). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This was installed from the start by the distro, but I have no idea how to use it, and it did not appear that this was sufficient by itself to make things work. Can you tell me how I use it? (I don't find a man or info page...) Thanks again!

The odd thing is that I did actually get a few burns that verified properly on version 1.0.4 from Packman. The 10.3 repos say that the version there is 1.0.3. I don't find anything on my system to say when the package was updated, but I believe I've been running this version (1.0.4) for a while now.

My internet connection (wired) was up and it connected to both OSS and Non-OSS online repositories during the install. However I can't run flash. I go to pages that need flash and either get a modified page telling me that I need to install flash (e.g. youtube) or I get a bar like the popup warning thing, but that says "Additional plugins are required to display all the media on this page" If I click the "Install missing plugins" button, it offers me Adobe Flash, downloads the thing and the install fails. As I mentioned originally, rpm reported the system having flash player installed, but it never worked. One thing I notice at the time was that there was no mapping for .swf in the preferences->content->media page. (Still isn't, and I have no idea how to put one there if that's the problem...) Is there anything else I can tell you? Output of an rpm query? Some diagnostics page from firefox itself? I should point out that at this point I've been playing, so some things might not be as out of the box any longer, but it definitely didn't work in the first place, even though rpm reported a flash player present.

One thought that occurred to me is that in Yast, I found a mozilla runtime already installed. Presumably that's 64bit too, but if I tried to delete it, I got hundreds of dependency complaints, so I left it in place. Thanks again for any more pointers.

[opensuse] Help with Certs for Cyrus IMAP and TLS
by Jim Flanagan 28 May '08

28 May '08

Greetings all, I am having problems with my certs. I made certs for TLS and put them in /etc/postfix/ssl. I believe I made them correctly, all are owned root-root. They are named, smtpd.crt, smtpd.key, cacert.pem, (also cakey.pem and smptd.csr are there too). On sending a test message with Thunderbird I get an error in /var/log/mail.info stating "cannot load RSA certificate and key data". Thunderbird returns a message saying "unable to connect to SMTP server at xx.xx.xx.xx via STARTTLS since it dosen't offer STARTTLS in EHLO response. However, running telent localhost 25 returns: 220 mail.jjfiii.com ESMTP Postfix ehlo localhost 250-mail.jjfiii.com 250-PIPELINING 250-SIZE 10240000 250-VRFY 250-ETRN 250-STARTTLS 250-AUTH LOGIN PLAIN 250-AUTH=LOGIN PLAIN 250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES 250-8BITMIME 250 DSN So I think this may be an ownership issue?? postconf -n returns the following: alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases biff = no broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes canonical_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/canonical command_directory = /usr/sbin config_directory = /etc/postfix daemon_directory = /usr/lib/postfix debug_peer_level = 2 defer_transports = disable_dns_lookups = no disable_mime_output_conversion = no html_directory = /usr/share/doc/packages/postfix/html inet_interfaces = all inet_protocols = all mail_owner = postfix mail_spool_directory = /var/mail mailbox_command = mailbox_size_limit = 51200000 mailbox_transport = lmtp:unix:/var/lib/imap/socket/lmtp mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq manpage_directory = /usr/share/man masquerade_classes = envelope_sender, header_sender, header_recipient masquerade_exceptions = root message_size_limit = 10240000 mydestination = me.com, mail.me.com localhost mydomain = me.com myhostname = mail.me.com myorigin = me.com newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/packages/postfix/README_FILES relayhost = [something.somewhere.com] relocated_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/relocated sample_directory = /usr/share/doc/packages/postfix/samples sender_canonical_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sender_canonical sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail setgid_group = maildrop smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd smtp_sasl_type = cyrus smtp_tls_note_starttls_offer = yes smtp_use_tls = yes smtpd_client_restrictions = smtpd_helo_required = no smtpd_helo_restrictions = smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, reject_unauth_destination, check_recipient_access hash:/etc/postfix/recipients_internal_only, check_client_access hash:/etc/postfix/client_blacklist permit_sasl_authenticated smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtpd_sasl_local_domain = smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous smtpd_sender_restrictions = hash:/etc/postfix/access smtpd_tls_CAfile = /etc/postfix/ssl/cacert.pem smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/postfix/ssl/smtpd.crt smtpd_tls_loglevel = 1 smtpd_tls_received_header = yes smtpd_tls_session_cache_timeout = 3600s smtpd_use_tls = yes strict_8bitmime = no strict_rfc821_envelopes = no transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/transport unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550 Not sure where my problem is. I have a second issue now too. Where do I put the cert for cyrus IMAP, and what config file do I tell cyrus to point to? Can cyrus use the same smtpd.crt I made in /etc/postfix/ssl, or do I need to make a separate one for imap??

[opensuse] installing 10.3 on a disk with >15 partitions
by Per Jessen 28 May '08

28 May '08

Carlos and I were discussing this briefly in another thread, but I thought it best to start a new one for this specific topic. I've just attempted to install 10.3 on a disk with 26 partitions. I only tried a small 6.4Gb drive in a test-system, so I didn't actually make it anywhere, but I think it could well work. Here's what I did: 1. start normal install from CD. 2. when YaST is running, and the step with "Loading harddisk modules" (or somewthing like that) is complete, use Ctrl-Alt-F1 to swap into text mode. Then Alt-F2 to swap to an active shell. 3. kpartx -a <harddrive> - I did "kpartx -a /dev/sdb". ls -l /dev/disk/by-id should produce all of your partitions. 4. Alt-F7 to get back into YaST. Continue and choose "Custom Partitioning". 5. Ask it to reread the partition table. Now you should see all of your partitions with the kpartx set listed as "DM". This is as far as I got in round 1 - when I tried to edit one of my DM partitions (to set mount point etc), I just got a winfow with a blue bar saying "free", and a close button. I might go and change the partition sizes and see if I can make it do something more sensible. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Hi, new to the list. Left over from windows, one of my last nagging problems is getting avi (mpeg) files to DVD's. I'm looking for something more than a script - like a package - to do the task (I don't need it to handle menus) Any suggestions ?

[opensuse] persistent bcm43xx ..
by Sampsa Riikonen 28 May '08

28 May '08

Dear List, I had my wireless working OK few months ago in my hp tx1000 laptop. The wireless card in this pc is broadcom bcm4312. .. now it suddenly stopped working (maybe because upgrading regularly with the updater applet?). In yast => network devices => etc. => wireless => configure => hardware, the list of kernel modules does not offer anything (just a blank line) .. it used to offer ndiswrapper. I suppose this might be because of the bcm43xx driver. Well, I have blaclisted it in several files.. ------------------- linux-q5nk:/home/sampsa # grep -i "bcm" /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist blacklist bcm43xx blacklist bcm43xx linux-q5nk:/home/sampsa # grep -i "bcm" /etc/modprobe.conf.local blacklist bcm43xx --------------------- But when I.. ---------------------- linux-q5nk:/home/sampsa # modprobe -l *bcm43* /lib/modules/2.6.22.17-0.1-default/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/bcm43xx/bcm43xx.ko linux-q5nk:/home/sampsa # rmmod bcm43xx ERROR: Module bcm43xx does not exist in /proc/modules ----------------------- Ndiswrapper also tells me that.. ------------------------ linux-q5nk:/home/sampsa # ndiswrapper -l bcmwl5 : driver installed device (14E4:4312) present (alternate driver: bcm43xx) ------------------------- Then I try.. -------------------------- linux-q5nk:/home/sampsa # modprobe -r bcm43xx linux-q5nk:/home/sampsa # modprobe -l *bcm43* /lib/modules/2.6.22.17-0.1-default/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/bcm43xx/bcm43xx.ko --------------------------- So what the **ll I am supposed to do to get rid of this annoying driver?! And what should I do to get ndiswrapper back to the list of available kernel modules in yast? I am running suse 10.3, 32-bit version.
