[opensuse] Digikam printing
by Hans de Faber 16 Jul '09

16 Jul '09

Using: openSuse 11.1, Linux version 2.6.27.23-0.1-default KDE 4.1.3 Digikam 0.10.0-beta6 The only reason now i don't use digikam is that it doesn't print at all. Many times i tried to find the reason, but i can't find. I reinstalled digikam_kde4 and started it in a fresh user-environment but the problem stays. The problem: After starting digikambrowser and clicking on a picture I get the view-area but no picture. After entering the edit-area i get the picture and i can do everything with it except printing. Doing a -file -printimage absolutely nothing happens. In the view-area there is also no printwizzard in the image menu. All my other applications are printing correct only Digikam doesn't. On a free partition i have installed OpenSuse 4.2 milestone 2 Digikam prints correct there. Does anybody have any idea what can be wrong ? Or else the question "how does an application look for or collect the available printqueues" ?

I'm also one of the old guys who deactivate Beagle owing to bad experience in the past. I might be tempted to revisit that decision, since a search feature for one's files is of obvious merit. Since you seem to know Beagle well: What is a recommended search frontend when one does neither use GNOME nor KDE? Actually, it may be a GNOME or KDE app, the necessary background daemons are running; just no applet, please, as I don't have the respective panel to dock them in.

[opensuse] Dell Mini9,exotic keyboard,install openSuSE 11.1 with right keyboard layout.
by Luis Maceira 15 Jul '09

15 Jul '09

I want to install openSuSE 11.1 on a Dell Mini9 netbook which has an exotic keyboard(does not have direct function keys,some keys have 4 options depending on transform keys Shift,Alt Gr,etc.).It has a spanish keyboard because the netbook was purchased in Spain. The important thing is:It came from factory with Ubuntu 8.04 and with it all is perfect in terms of keyboard layout,all keys and options function perfectly. I am writing this running openSuSE 11.1 liveCD Gnome,and I need to do some tricks to write all this text and send the e-mail because the keyboard layout does not fit. Question:are there any file,or information I can get from Ubuntu 8.04 before I install openSuSE 11.1 which could facilitate after to adjust openSuSE 11.1 to a perfect keyboard layout? In openSuSE installer there are 3 options for Spain keyboards: spanish,spanish(latinAmerica),spanish(CP850) but I do not have great faith it works without changes,so I need to know what makes it work so well in Ubuntu 8.04.

[opensuse] New Feature -- bash/vi/readline automatically sourcing .bashrc after edit?
by David C. Rankin 15 Jul '09

15 Jul '09

Listmates, Is there a new feature in vi that automatically sources .bashrc after editing it? In KDE4.3-B2, I edited .bashrc with vi in konsole. I added an alias. When I :wq'ed I tried the alias to see if there was a conflict before sourcing my .bashrc. To my great surprise, the bash shell executed the alias as if I had already sourced .bashrc. This was a surprise, albeit a cool surprise. So my question, where is this new feature? In vi? In bash? In readline? Where? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse] What group permissions on winbindd_privileged are required for Squid?
by Anthony Simonelli 15 Jul '09

15 Jul '09

In the man page of ntlm_auth, the helper program Squid uses for ntlmssp authentication, it states that Squid needs to have the correct permissions on the winbindd_privileges in order for it to authenticate: "Requires access to the directory winbindd_privileged in $LOCKDIR." I can't seem to figure out what to set it to. I am under the impression that Squid runs as user squid and group nobody. When I change the group on the directory to nobody, it still cannot authenticate: Login for user [DOMAIN]\[user]@[XXXXX] failed due to [winbind client not authorized to use winbindd_pam_auth_crap. Ensure permissions on /var/lib/samba/winbindd_privileged are set correctly.] When I change the directory permissions to 755, making it world readable, it works, however this is not secure. Does anyone know what to set this to so that Squid can access it without it being world readable? What group do I need to set it to?

I think that there are dependencies there that are only triggered once something is installed and you try to remove it. On my laptops I never installed Postfix or Exim and I've never had a problem (some of the config files *do* seem to get installed by default, and if you try to use Yast's MTA config module it will get upset, but the solution to that is easy - don't) ;-). > > Personally I agree with you that it should not be necessary to install a > MTA, but I was shouted down by so-called experts. > > My 'old' machines are various.

I used to have that running on an old PIII/500 with dual nics that wasn't much good for anything else. Unfortunately something on the motherboard eventually failed and it simply refused to do anything, so I got a wireless router with firewall built in (WRT54GL with oss firmware installed soon after purchase). That's cheaper to run than the old PIII and less noisy to boot. ;-) I've actually got an old HP server sitting in a rack in the garage that has an array of about 6 30GB SCSI discs in it. I haven't powered it up recently but I was assured that it worked when it was given to me and it should run Linux quite nicely. I was going to turn that into a NAS box and maybe run the mail server on it too (but I'm dreading the power bill if it is running 24/7). -- =================================================== Rodney Baker VK5ZTV rodney.baker(a)iinet.net.au ===================================================
