Hello all, Into OpenSuSE 11.3 i can't find the module pam_resmgr.so (usually located in /lib/security/). Why that module is not present anymore? And, what i can use in his substitution?

[opensuse] openSUSE 9.1 query
by Roger Oberholtzer 22 Mar '11

22 Mar '11

Hello I have a colleague who asked me the following: "I have an old SuSE 9.1 CD. I'd like to boot from it, into KDE. It has a variety of install options but I /assume/ that's not what I want, but that I want to run the Rescue disk and then, when it comes up in a terminal, somehow start KDE?" I suggested 'startx'. But that did not work. Anyone out there have a long memory? The machine is on another continent, so I cannot easily go see what might work..

[opensuse] bind dns propagation issues
by James D. Parra 22 Mar '11

22 Mar '11

Hello, I am seeing a major lag of dns details from parent servers after I've updated my dns server. Any suggestions? Updated my nameserver IP address and it was pushed to my secondary dns server, and although when I do a dig on a public dns server the correct IP appears, the IP is not correct at g.gtld-servers.net. When doing a dns check I get; <snip> Nameserver records returned by the parent servers are: ns1.musicreports.com. ['207.47.100.61'] [TTL=172800] <-- wrong address ns2.musicreports.com. ['67.192.171.18'] [TTL=172800] g.gtld-servers.net was kind enough to give us that information. <snip> Any suggestion to get the public server updated with the correct info? Many thanks, James -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

See if Network Manager is installed. 2. If you had just done a kernel update, you may have to build your kernel module for the wireless driver again if your driver isn't included in the kernel. On my laptop, it isn't, so I have to go to the source files and make, make install, reboot each time after a kernel upgrade to get the wireless working. Maybe you just have to go through the procedure to reinstall the driver software if it is included with opensuse, like the bcm43xx driver. Maybe you have to check and see if the kernel module for your driver is loaded, and then modprobe it to get it working. 3. Check and see if the wireless switch on the side of your laptop is in the on position. I hope one of these suggestions helps. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Hello, we are trying to run a java applet that should open a desired page with tracking information, but nothing happens. On OpenSuSE 11.3 with Firefox 3.6.15 everything works on this java applet.

[opensuse] Behavior of Widgets in a Panel
by Stan Goodman 21 Mar '11

21 Mar '11

I've made a second Panel, at the top of my screen (oS 11.3, KDE 4.4), to use for housing widgets. This Panel is nearly as long as the screen is wide, just so it doesn't interfere with the "cashew", and its minimum length is just short of its maximum length. Getting the first few widgets onto this panel is very easy, and the icons are comfotably just adjacent to their neighbors. Then something happens, and succeeding widgets just pile on each other, making them all unusable. The two thirds of the panel to the right of this pileup are vacent, and I have not found a way to move anything into them. I have been able to delete the pileup, leaving the rightmost widget the "LCD Weather Station", but the Weather Station resists being removed, even when widgets are unlocked. Clicking on it with Mouse Button 2 (sorry, I am left-handed) does nothing. I would cheerfully give up this particular widget it is responsible for this behavior. Why has this happened, and how can I regain use of the remainder of the panel? -- 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

[opensuse] Lost my sound
by Bob S 21 Mar '11

21 Mar '11

Hello SuSE people, Running 11.4 with KDE4.6 Did a zypper up and lost my sound. Went to try and fix it and ran into an amazingly complicated convoluted array of menus that boggles my old mind. Can someone offer a simple solution (I just want sound) or a tutorial on what all that stuff does?
