[opensuse] Suse syslog redirects to a Windows server
by bhoomikasc 09 Jun '08

09 Jun '08

Hi, I have a Novell suse 10 linux box which runs syslog-ng. I am trying to redirect the syslog messages to a Windows 2003 server. I have setup the syslog-ng.conf (changes are in italics): ... source src { # # include internal syslog-ng messages # note: the internal() soure is required! # internal(); # # the following line will be replaced by the # socket list generated by SuSEconfig using # variables from /etc/sysconfig/syslog: # @SuSEconfig_SOCKETS@ # # uncomment to process log messages from network: # udp(port(514));}; .... destination mail { file("/var/log/mail"); }; destination postfix_mail { udp("10.141.52.15" port (514)); }; log { source(src); filter(f_mail); destination(mail); }; log { source(src); filter(f_mail); destination(postfix_mail); }; The Windows server is open on udp port 514. But it doesnt seem to reflect anything on the Windows box? Do I need to make any more changes on the Windows end? Thanks for all your help in advance. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Suse-syslog-redirects-to-a-Windows-server-tp17740026p… Sent from the openSUSE community mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Update problems
by Chris Arnold 09 Jun '08

09 Jun '08

Using 10.3 64-bit and today the suseupdater shows 4 updates: 2 amarok, which i do not even have installed and gdm and libcurl4. I am trying to install these updates but it never seems to update. Just goes back to red exclamation and those same 4 updates show as needing to be updated. Is this a problem in 64 bit? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Default user in KDM?
by Niki Kovacs 09 Jun '08

09 Jun '08

Hi, I have openSUSE 10.3, the KDE version. On the machine, there are three users. Q: how can I select one user as "preselected", e. g. the default user on login? As far as I know, openSUSE has a highly customized version of KDM, and apparently, KControl isn't the place to configure it. But where is it?

I won't participate in your workshop (I know how to make RPMs), but I can chime in with proposals you might want to make: Packages: uemacs, logsurfer, ngrep, traceroute-lbl, xpaint, GNU mailutils, calc.

[opensuse] Voice recorder
by Manne Merak 09 Jun '08

09 Jun '08

Hi, I am looking for a small app to do voice recoding using my laptop microphone (recording meetings etc). I know about a 1000 years ago there was an app shipped with Eudora that recorded messages. It created very small files by filtering only voice and ignoring silences (cutout). Anyone know of a simple recorder like this? Using mencoder to do this will be great, if someone can help me get the parameters in a row.

[opensuse] Disabling Auto-update in 10.3
by Ian 09 Jun '08

09 Jun '08

I have a machine running 10.3 + Gnome that I don't want to run the automatic updater when a user logs in. I've searched for a way to disable the updater, but can't seem to find anything - except a posting where someone asked how to do it, then replied he had done it but didn't say how:-( The KDE version has an option to turn it off, but Gnome doesn't seem to. Cheers, -- Ian gpg key: http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~imoore/no-spam.asc

[opensuse] Which Wireless Card
by Kai Ponte 09 Jun '08

09 Jun '08

I'm putting together a new system for my mother-in-law. I bought here a Dell Inspiron minitower computer with FreeDos and then put on openSUSE 10.3. I've got it mostly configured and ready to deliver however, I need to fix one final item... She currently connects to the network (cable) via a wireless card in her Win98 machine. I was just looking to see which wireless NIC I could buy for her and still be compatible with openSUSE. http://en.opensuse.org/Wireless_network_card Looking around I see Linksys and Belkin, neither of which I saw in the above page. Anybody have any experience with this? I have only used wireless with notebooks and only Intel at that. -- kai www.filesite.org || www.4thedadz.com || www.perfectreign.com remember - a turn signal is a statement, not a request -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
