[opensuse] Latest NVidia driver update 185.18.31 crashes X on Quadro NVS 140M
by Jan Ritzerfeld 09 Oct '09

Hey! The latest update of the nvidia-gfxG02 driver from the NVIDIA Repository crashes X on my ThinkPad R61 with a Quadro M series graphics card. This is a known issue and was fixed in 185.18.36: http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_185.18.36.html Jan -- The trouble with the rat race is that even if you win, you're still a rat. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Hi Mike, I have the same microdia webcam. It is one of the webcams which is difficult to get working. In 10.3 and 11.0 I had it working with luvcview and mplayer but after a hard disc breakdown and a new install I am as far as you at the moment. There is a Microdia group but they have given up working on the SN9C120 camera's. I am still trying to find out how to get it working and will keep you informed. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 11.1 on a thinkpad T500
by jef peeraer 21 Sep '09

21 Sep '09

installed it yesterday on my brand new thinkpad, and most of the basic stuff seems to be working : tested the wired/wireless connection :ok. can write DVD's, sound is ok, hibernation and sleep : ok , sdcard reader : ok, and last but not least, video graphics, weel that's a special case with this laptop, it includes 2 graphic controller : 1 discrete, the ati hd3650 and am integrated controller , intel mobile GM45 express chipset. i knew i wasn't going to get this switchable graphics thing in order... by default, the installation chooses the intel chipset. which works ok, but doesn't give you the power of the ATI. i changed the bios setting to discrete graphics ( swichable off ). when booted into command line, i could run sax and it installed the correct ATI drivers. but the next reboot set me back to the intel chipset, and indeed the bios was back to switchable graphics enabled ? jef peeraer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

I haven't tried the openSuSE Avantfax, but I will on the next install. Avantfax/HylaFAX combination is the greatest thing since sliced bread for faxing. Glad to know SuSE has the rpm available. Let me know if you want anyone to test the new hylafax before you release it. I'm happy to do it. Right now, be aware we are trouble-shooting an openSuSE problem with the hylafax getaddrinfo call in hylafax-6.0.3/hfaxd/InetFaxServer.c++ file at the moment. Hopefully it will be resolved soon. You can see the result of the latest troubleshooting by applying the following patch: diff --git a/hfaxd/InetFaxServer.c++ b/hfaxd/InetFaxServer.c++ index 420a1e9..dfa9910 100644 --- a/hfaxd/InetFaxServer.c++ +++ b/hfaxd/InetFaxServer.c++ @@ -71,7 +71,8 @@ InetSuperServer::startServer(void) if (pp) hints.ai_protocol = pp->p_proto; - if (getaddrinfo(bindaddress, port, &hints, &ai) == 0) { + int gaie = getaddrinfo(bindaddress, port, &hints, &ai); + if (gaie == 0) { memcpy(&addr, ai->ai_addr, ai->ai_addrlen); freeaddrinfo(ai); /* @@ -81,8 +82,8 @@ InetSuperServer::startServer(void) if (! bindaddress) memset(Socket::addr(addr), 0, Socket::addrlen(addr)); } else { - logDebug("Couldn't get address information for port \"%s\"", - (const char*) port); + logDebug("Couldn't get address information for port \"%s\": %d", + (const char*) port, gaie); /* * Somethings broken here, let's pick some conservative defaults */ The value for gai error code being returned on openSuSE is "-2" not good, so there are problem binding to the initial port that cause reams of debug info in the logs.

[opensuse] Does YaST Support ADS Security Setting in Samba
by Anthony Simonelli 15 Sep '09

15 Sep '09

I followed the instructions from this posting: http://en.opensuse.org/Setting_up_Squid_NTLM_DansGuardian_Sarg to be able to setup NTLM Authentication. One instruction says to change the security setting in smb.conf to "security=ads". Everything works, and Winbind lists the users and groups. However, when I go into YaST to add SMB shares, YaST changes the security back to being "user". This means that all of the shares created on the server cannot be accessed unless a user account is added to smbpasswd. What I would like is to have Samba shares authenticated by AD. Can I setup Samba using YaST to be able to join a domain as a member server (security=ads) and authenticate Samba shares using AD through YaST and, if so, how is it done?

[opensuse] OpenSuSE+bounces PROBLEM IN OpenSuSE list
by Carl Spitzer 14 Sep '09

14 Sep '09

According to the maintainers of MyRealBox the problem with the munging of senders addresses on this list into OpenSuSE+bounces is coming from the OpenSuSE list software. To whom do I write to correct this long standing problem. ? CWSIV -------- Forwarded Message -------- From: Jeff Dalby I received your voicemail. I looked at this again but the address you are seeing is the address that is being given to us by the remote system. You'll see that multiple times in the header as well (our software doesn't touch the existing header info). Feel free to send me on some new headers but so far everything points to a problem on the remote side.

[opensuse] Why do fonts look so much better in gnome than in kde?
by Nico Sabbi 10 Sep '09

10 Sep '09

Hi, the subject says it all: in every version of opensuse I tried the fonts looked much better under gnome than under kde: more more readable, with better contrast and more smooth overall. The problem I have with gnome is that I detest it ;-) Can anyone explain if and how I can get fonts to look as good in kde as they look in gnome, please? (I have a faint memory of somthing involving the bits per pixel that is autodetected by gnome according to the screen resolution, maybe or maybe not??).

by lynn 10 Sep '09

The proxy works for firefox but not for konq in 11.0 kde 4. I've tested the proxy via yast and it works fine. Also, other browsers recognise it. Bug? I'm using squid on a 10.3 server with 11.0 and KDE4 Thanks. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
