Well, I'd like to help you out but I can't get Gwenview past the point of 
wanting a writable path for my files...  Even though I specified one in the 
settings.


I've never used gwenview but use convert from Imagmagik instead.   I use a D70 
and have never seen the problem you claim.


Try:   convert   -geometry  640x480  -quality 75   input.jpg   output.jpg

and see how that works.


I didn't know that gwenview could do batch processing and so was most 
pleasantly surprise to read this thread.


But I have to admit that I am doing something very terribly wrong 
because I just, as a test, batch resized about a dozen images and they 
all came out perfect with not a distortion to be seen.

First, stay away from fake raid.  (See http://linux-ata.org/faq-sata-raid.html).

As you can see most Sata Raid controllers are fake raid and thus linux
does not support them except in a JBOD configuration.

For real hardware SATA raid:
I haven't used the 3ware SATA raid controllers, but I have been very
happy with their PATA raid controllers.

They present a SCSI interface at the PCI level, then convert that to
SATA/PATA going to the drive.  Their SCSI (PATA) driver has been
supported on SUSE for 3 or 4 years.  (Vanilla kernel too for a long
time.)  I'm pretty sure their SCSI (SATA) support has been around
equally as long.

The above means you're using the SCSI driver subsystem when you use
3ware cards.  Historically the SCSI driver subsystem has been more
stable than the IDE / libata drivers in 2.6.  (Rapid improvement in
libata may be changing that.)

FYI: There is another similar card that is also highly recommended,
but I can't think of the manfacturer right now and I've never used it.

I dunno. I think it is a serious bug, but unfortunately, I'm in the minority. 

I just did a test with OOo 2.0.2 (which I know is earlier than your version) 
and could not play sounds with powerpoint-created files.

"The?" As in "only one?"

And "security body?" They're charge is "signals intelligence," i.e.
intelligence derived from intercepting communications, mostly
electronic, both over-the-air and via the Internet and telephone
networks. Naturally, this leads them to extensive cryptanalysis and
cryptographic work.



I don't know if they are the only ones, but NSA conducts the IT
security audits of the other US gov't organizations AIUI.  You can
attend one week NSA training program on their methodology.  (One of
our people went 4 or 5 years ago.)

[opensuse] Audacity working with OSS only

[Martin Mielke]

Hi all!

I just downloaded/installed Audacity from Packman. When it first started the 
first surprise was: no sound!
So I checked the Audio I/O devices to be on the sure side. Still nothing...

After googling for a while, I found a workaround which recommends to start 
Audacity as follows:

$ aoss audacity

(aoss - Wrapper script to facilitate use of the ALSA OSS compatibility 
library)

By doing so, the sound comes out from my speakers very well...

Because ALSA is a newer, feature-richer, bla bla bla sound system I'd like to 
know if anyone here has managed to run Audacity using it instead of OSS...


TIA,
Martin

Many years ago Ken Thompson (or maybe it was Dennis Ritchie) gave the ACM
Turing Lecture on, essentially, coding tricks.  He showed how it was possible
to booby-trap a compiler using repeated bootstraps in such a way that the
compiler was corrupted, yet its visible source code was clean.  Recompiling
the compiler would retain the corruption.  And such a corrupted compiler
could do anything, of course.

Paul
--


IIRC, He didn't show that it was possible, he actually did it and had
it in the C compiler for years before announcing that it was in there.
Due to the backdoor, Ken Thompson could log into any UNIX machine at
the time.

A brief google found this:
Along with Dennis Ritchie, Ken Thompson received the ACM Turing award
in 1983, for "for their development of generic operating systems
theory and specifically for the implementation of the UNIX operating
system.". In his Turing award lecture, Reflections On Trusting Trust,
Ken Thompson described a hack that he placed into early UNIX systems:
the C compiler would insert a back door whenever it compiled the login
program, allowing Ken Thompson to access any UNIX system. The scheme
was so fiendish that if you tried remove the back-door generating code
from the source code and recompile the compiler, the compiler would
reintroduce the back door generation into the source code!

In a sense it is. Like NFS, the USB stick it updates the directory
structure, I am not sure if before or after, when it writes a sector up.
In nfs, it is similiar, in that it guarantees that the nfs directory are
updated with the data over the network. I could be wrong about this, though.

 Hi everyone

 Under KDE in 10.2 I can 'safely remove' a disk by right clicking upon its 
 icon. Is there a command line version to do the same? In any case what 
 does 
 it actually do? Can't I just pull the plug and walk away with it?

Under 10.0 I  have a 300 Gbyte disk drive.formatted with xfs. It still
mounts with the sync option.

Re: [opensuse] Removing compiz

[Rami Michael]

if you are going to do a clean install anyways, you might as well put
compiz back in, and just set the decorators after startup... so you
can use the window decorators you want.  I think there is probably
some x config that is giving you the headache.

Ye, thats how I had beryl setup aswell, icon on desktop.

Re: [opensuse] vpnc

[Rami Michael]

I have had mixed luck with vpnc on many linux distros.  I have gotten
many people at my job to switch away from the standard cisco client
but we all noticed that running vpnc command line and not through
network-manager was the way to go.  For some reason, when running it
through network manager the connection just drops sometimes, for
seeminglly no good reason considering the default config is used for
both of the GUI and command line.

Yes. However, since it taints the kernel because of its proprietary
license and binary blob, I am happy to have vpnc doing exactly the same
using a tunnel device. On top of that, the crappy ciscoshit does not
support NATting clients connected to your local network [VMware machines
and laptops, not the default route] even though the config has an option
for it.

There is a "sync" mount option (in /etc/fstab) and a sync command. 
Related, but not the same. They seem to be different from the one you 
mention for nfs, but I suppose it can be though as related in meaning.


  async  This  option  allows  the  NFS server to violate the NFS 
 protocol and reply to requests before any changes made by 
 that request have been committed to stable storage (e.g. disc 
 drive).

 Using this option usually improves performance, but at the 
 cost that an unclean server restart (i.e. a crash)  can cause 
 data to be lost or corrupted.

 In releases of nfs-utils upto and including 1.0.0, this 
 option was the default.  In this and future releases, sync is 
 the default, and async must be explicit requested if needed.  
 To help make system adminstrators aware of this change, 
 'exportfs' will issue a warning if neither sync nor async is 
 specified.

[opensuse] Change pure-FTPd default directory

[jan kalcic]

Hi People,

I'm playing with pure-ftp but I can't change default directory.

The scenario is:
-pure-ftp configured in xinet.
-chroot everyone
-noanonymous
-the default directory is /data instead of /srv/ftp
-only two users can access this directory and every file is written with
owner group "users" and rwx rights.

I configured the xinet.d/pure-ftpd file with server args = -A -E -r -s
-l unix -U 113:002 (this enable also antiwarez, autorename, auth against
passwd and different umask)
ls -l output of data folder is
 
drwxrwxr-x  4 root users   80 2007-01-10 15:17 data/

so any users who belong to users group are allowed to rwx and new files
are written with umask 113:002 in order to share files between users of
users group.

The only think I miss is change the default directory which is the home
directory of the user. Instead, I need /data as default user directory.

Is this possible?

Regards,
Jan

¿Why so?

FAT32 is almost the same thing as FAT16, but with different sizes for some 
tables and data (metadata). You still need to update the fat area after 
writing any new file or modifying its size, so yes, write operations 
concentrate on that region of memory. Whether that stresses the device or 
cause premature ageing, I can't say.

The only thing I don't like about amavisd-new handling of spam, is that it 
doesn't do Bayesian filtering on a per-user basis; ie, with a diferent 
Bayes database for each user. At least, I don't know how to do it, I think

when you overwrite the file anyway why don't you use mogrify?
It overwrites the file by default, so you could use it in shell, without a 
script :)

just:
mogrify -resize 640x480

[opensuse] Something new Novell is doing.

[jim tate]

There are many compelling financial reasons to install Linux in small
and mid-sized businesses, corporate departments and in smaller
subsidiaries. Still, some prospective Linux buyers avoid making the move
for a variety of reasons including a fear of complexity, and worries that
it won't integrate well with Windows.

To address these concerns, Novell has teamed up with IBM to build a
low-cost turnkey Linux implementation that's extremely easy to deploy
within an Windows environment. To find out whether it might be the right
fit for your business, click here to download the FREE whitepaper "Novell's
Integrated Stack for SUSE Linux Enterprise", available now via IDG Connect.

I use the following all on one line:

for I in `ls -1 *.JPG`;do convert -resize 640x480 ${I} ${I};echo
${I};done

It does overwrite the originals but I only work on copies anyway.

True. The default search is in all messages of the list. If you want to

This is how i got around the problem so far;

1. I did a clean install of 10.0 from CD's
This worked perfectly. Both removing the old w2k server partition, and 
creating new ones for Linux

2. Added a online repository for 10.2 in Yast, and ran a full upgrade

3. I also tried adding a DVD "mounted" and shared from a XP desktop,
This also works.

So from what i can understand, the partition tool "parted" that is used in 
10.2 does NOT work on the RAID partition created from the Mylex BIOS.

This is very cumbersome, not to mention irritating, as i refurbish several 
older server systems, and give them a Non-microsoft environment.


Any particular reason as to why SuSE/Novell changed partition manager from 
10.0 to 10.2??

Here's the step by step of what I did (I just tried it again with the same
results).

1)  Go to lists.opensuse.org
2)  Select the "opensuse" link
3)  Select November 2006 "By Thread"
4)  Enter "smbfs" and click the search magnifying glass

You'll see that you get 562 results, with dates that are all over the map.

[opensuse] Periodic system check scripts on Suse?

[Ian]

Hi, just wondering if Suse has any sort of regular system checks akin to the 
periodic scripts that FreeBSD runs every day/week/month to report on the 
general health & security of the system?

Periodic does some general cleaning up and emails report to root the file 
system status (a df basically), any alterations to system files (including a 
diff of changes to system config files), mail system status, a monthly 
summary of login accounting and any warnings that appear in the messages log 
file as well as various other stuff. It also lists any installed ports or 
packages that have security alerts. After many years of using FreeBSD, I've 
come to rely on these reports to keep me informed about my system.

So now I'm using Suse (trying to get familiar with it before changing my 
Netware servers at work over to OES on Suse) and I've tried googling for info 
about this, but haven't found anything useful as yet.

Cheers,

BTW, I did finally get gwenview to do the batchy resize and the resulting JPG

I think there may be some kind of glitch in the CUPS routine, but what, I 
couldn't say.  I had a HP970Cxi working fine for a week or so, but then there
was a problem reported with an ink cartridge, which I replaced.  At that 
point, the printer was recognized, but would not print.  To make a long story 
short, I removed the printer driver, and with the assistance of one of the 
kind contributors to this list, I managed to get CUPS to let me install a 
password--why that should be necessary for a printer queue, I don't 
know--especially since it didn't ask for one the first time--but then I went 
thru the YaST install again, and the printer is now--crossed-fingers--working 
again.  When it's working, BTW, it works well.  After previous experience
(on Windows) with an Epson, I am convinced to use HP.  The difference is
in the ink delivery.  With HP, the nozzles are in the cartridge, and if they
clog up, you throw out the cartridge and buy another.  With the Epson, you 
throw out the printer and buy another!

I believe you have hit the nail on the head.  Sometimes I see a few open
applications go away and then the shutdown process just stops.  As an
experiment I will try to close down all applications and try this.  I
would bet
that will work.

I still think this is buggy though.  Why can't the behavior be the same
as the
command like?

I have an older Intel server with a Mylex RAID card in it.
The array is 6 drives in RAID 5, no spares.
The installer complains about not being able to do anything on the array, so i 
got into a rescue kernel boot and used fdisk to make three parttitions on it.

/dev/rd/c0d0p1 - /boot (ext2)
/dev/rd/c0d0p2 - swap (swap)
/dev/rd/c0d0p3 - / (xfs)
I made the filesystems after syncing the disks.

But the installer doesn't recognize them at all. 
It sees /dev/rd/c0d0 as a full partition, and states it cannot do anything 
with it.


How do i get the table read?
How do i initialize the array for usage in the installer?


I am eagerly waiting for the answer as well because I suspect that I 
currently have the same problem with an old FSC Primergy 470 with Mylex 
DAC960PRL Controller.
Can you delete the partitions and create them in yast again? If not, I 
can't update to Suse 10.2 either.

Geez, has it really been that long?  I didn't buy 5.0 until 1996 or so,
and I distinctly remember being in terror at the prospect of killing a
disk by changing all that partitioning.

Or maybe it was even earlier when I tried unsuccessfully to make
Slackware work?

As Bruce said, I find ImageMagick much better for batch work.  Try the

Sandy!

   I am now trying to incorporate spamassassin into my anti-spam

usr/share/doc/packages/spamassassin is not much help. I have spamd up

my home directory mentioned on the apache.spamassassin.org site and need 
a little help. Do you, or anyone for that matter, have a good link or 
some quick advise on getting this set up?


   I'll keep looking, but if you have a cheat-sheet, I'd be grateful for 
the help.


Hello David,

I was away from the keyboard for a few days. (^-^)

The easiest way to use spamassassin is through amavisd-new, which can be 
set up in yast. It should work, though I always set it up manually.
Amavisd-new is a frameworks that calls spamassassin and virus scanners if 
you would like to use them (I definitely recommend to use a virus scanner 
if you use postfix as a frontend for windows clients).


You don't need procmail to integrate amavisd-new. If you install 
amavisd-new from yast, set it to start as a service at boot time, and tell 
postfix to use amavisd-new as a content filter, you should be able to 
enjoy spamassassin fairly soon.


Though there are some settings you should adjust to your installation and 
needs:


  - how many simultaneous content_filters are allowed (system resources)
  - should viruses/spam be deleted/tagged/quarantined
  - What to do about logging

He did have a Unix product called Xenix.

Well, I'd like to help you out but I can't get Gwenview past the point of 
wanting a writable path for my files...  Even though I specified one in the 
settings.

I've never used gwenview but use convert from Imagmagik instead.   I use a D70 
and have never seen the problem you claim.

Try:   convert   -geometry  640x480  -quality 75   input.jpg   output.jpg

and see how that works.

As it is rpm, you will hardly do any harm, especially if you uninstall
tuxkart before trying to install supertuxkart. In case that all else fails
you can always reinstall tuxkart.

Sorry, I misunderstood you.  I'm afraid I couldn't tell you how to make 
Exchange listen on two ports at the same time but it looks like someone else 
has got the answer.

Good luck,

At least in KDE, the GUI shutdown won't shut down the system if there are 
programs that refuse to exit. For example if you have a program that pops up 
a window asking if you're sure you want to quit (eg. konversation) KDE won't 
exit, and the box won't shut down. Sometimes the programs refusing to exit 
may be in the background so it's not immediately obvious what's happening, so 
it can appear haphazard, but nearly always, the problem is with some other 
program and not actually KDE's shutdown itself

Could that match what you're seeing? If not, you're going to have to be more 
specific

Darryl,

Thanks for your suggestion.  I added root to the sys group and still the same 
error message.  I then unistalled brightq and cups.  Reinstalled cups and 
brightq, ran the command lppasswd -a root and then tried to configure the 
printer with brightq.  Same result.

Fiddling with that, however, gave me the idea of using the ppd file that came 
on the CD with the copier/printer.  I simply used Yast to add the PPD file to 
the database, and then chose that file for the printer/copier.  Worked 
perfectly and gives me all the options for the printer.  Now I don't have to 
use the third party software from Canon.

Mike

I must add - SuperTuxCart is very well done and addictive! I just "discovered" 
it a few weeks ago.  My six-year-old has recently caught on and is beginning 
to play.

One question - does it come with a full-screen mode?

Very strange.  As for speed, it runs flawlessly on my laptop (at least
until I start hitting too much swap).  I did have to make sure I set
kde to "Start with an empty session."  If I try to make beryl start
automatically (either by session or by ~/.kde/Autostart), it doesn't
behave well at all.  It ranges from simple problems like most of my
System Tray icons failing to come up or instead they might appear but
are not being swallowed by the tray, to more severe problems like the
entire panel coming up half drawn.  For now until I feel like
investigating further, I've just stuck a beryl-manager icon on my

Installation of latest x86_84 kernel fixed the problem.  The new kernel 
allowed me to remove "acpi=off" from the boot parameters, thus allowing acpi 
support and PCI routing to take place.  It also resolved the incomplete 
shutdown problem.  Obtained kernel from:
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/kernel/kotd/x86_64/HEAD/kernel-default.x86_64.rpm
 
which as of yesterday is a 2.6.20_rc4... kernel.

So I went from 2.6.18 to 2.6.20 kernel.

What I was hoping for was a more direct response to why these icons for
shutdown are
intermittant.

The shutdown command as I typed it predated Solaris and came from AT&T
as early as System 3,

Shutdown is better to use than init because it had more flexability and
isn't as
abrupt as init.   I guess init 0 is ok if your the only (ab)user of the
system.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, how about a little support from  you guys
for the
concept of getting the GUI based shutdown to work reliably?

Removing the rpms makes it go away, but Im left with a really really

My whole system uses Tahoma for menus, dialogs, text boxes etc. It
renders beautifully crisp on my 1920x1400 Dell laptop screen. (One thing
MS got right)
Anti-aliasing is only useful if the font is huge or you use a CRT
(IMHO).

And... it was working in 10.0.

Im trying to find a solution here! not be stuck with something I cant
change or dont like (for that I'll revert back to Win)

Removing compiz and xgl just leaves me with a very slow X/KDE and using
the gnome-xgl-setting tool does nothing.


I did a fresh install of 10.2 and it did install compiz, but it
doesn't try to run it for me at all.  I also use kde and it doesn't
interfere at all.  Perhaps you have something in a stored session?

Regardless, can't it just be removed by uninstalling the rpm?

[opensuse] different network profiles and /etc/hosts

[Andy Harrison]

I just wondered if anyone had any suggestions for a good way to do
this.  My laptop is configured for my wired office network and my home
wireless network.  Once I got the nic's configured, suse cleverly
started automatically figuring out which network I wanted without any
input from me.

I'm just wondering if I can make it automatically switch host files
for me, or at least modify the localhost entry.  Prior to installing
suse I would just toggle a commented out entry for local host and run
my one-line shell script to set up a few ssh tunnels to my office.  I
just modify the localhost entry so that I don't have to reconfigure
any software like email server settings.  So imap.example.com:143 will
hit my ssh tunnel on 127.0.0.1:143, for example.

I was poking around with scpm.  It didn't seem like it could do this
readily, aside from maybe telling it to run a script where I could
perhaps cp different /etc/hosts files into place.  Not exactly an
elegant solution, but if that's the only way...

This depends on your usage.

I have 2 GB main memory, and several VMwares instances at the same 
time. But mostly only one of them is active. (The one that I use for 
current tests.) Swapping the unused is OK, as long as one can wait 
for the disk thrashing when one re-activates it. It's faster and 
more convenient than VMware suspend, if one uses a different VMware 
every 15 minutes or so.


Using only 1GB swap spaces would be counterproductive since they 
fill up so fast if VMwares are swapped out... :-)

The issue with non-public opensuse+enterprise bugs is this:
Sometimes a bug is discovered first on the enterprise product, 
and a lot of internal product management information accumulates, 
before someone realizes that the same bug also exists in opensuse.

Then, one of two things should happen:
1) create a duplicate of the bug for the bigger audience,
   with 'see also' comments pointing to each other.
or
2) flag all internal comments as 'private' and open up the bug.

cheers,

[opensuse] KMail Crashes with SIGSEGV

[Andreas Winkelmann]

Hi.

A few weeks before, I've installed Opensuse 10.2. It was a new Install, no 
upgrade. All Updates are installed. I use KMail to read Mails via IMAP. 
Sometimes KMail crashes with a SIGSEGV. The error occures when I change to a 
Folder with new Mails (CTRL + "+"). This happens not every time and on 
diffrent Folders of course.

This is reported from the Crash-Handler:

Your easiest solution may be to disable the onboard Ethernet and add-in a 
known good/supported Ethernet card such as any Intel, most D-Link, generic 
CompUSA, etc.

On the OO2.1 topic; I see the non anti-aliased font rendering is still
broken (renders Tahoma almost unreadable).

Is this a OO or OpenSuse problem?
Just tried using Tahoma in a test document and found no problems with 
this font.


Do you have Geecko>Configure Desktop>Appearance>Fonts>Use 
Anti-aliasing>Configure>Use Sub-pixel hinting set to Medium?


Cheers.

I have all that setup - my desktop and ALL other apps display fine
(Tahoma 8pt anti-aliasing off - till up to 12pt)
Just OO displays horribly with anti-aliasing turned off in its
configuration.
Certainly turning off anti-aliasing in OO has some effect (you can see 
it immediately in the toolbar) but the Tahoma font is still very much 
readable and not as you describe (above).


Cheers.


Ok unreadable is prop bit harsh - but as you say turning off
anti-aliasing in OO and using Tahoma for the menus (like I do for all my
other apps) just looks horrible.
I see there are others with the same issue:
http://en.opensuse.org/Talk:Optimal_Use_of_MS_TrueType_Core_Fonts_for_a_KDE_Desktop_on_SuSE
check the last post message.



I have to ask this question otherwise I won't be able to sleep..

*Why* do you find it necessary to turn off anti-aliasing in OO and then 
worry about the Tahoma - and not any other font - not displaying well?


"If it hurts why do it?", as the Actress said to the Bishop.

Why not leave the anti-aliasing on, by default, in OO and have a 
relaxing day?


There has to be reason for all this worrying about Tahoma and OO and 
anti-aliasing but I don't know what it is so please enlighten me :-) .


Cheers.

Yes. As soon as you are in a list root directory it searches only this
list.

Thanks for that info James, but I was wanting Exchange to listen to 25
AND maybe 2525.  I don't suppose it would work making 2 smtp entries in
its services file.

Why not just use init 0 to shutdown (init 6 to reboot)? Seems much

pc5:~ # ll /sbin/telinit
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 4 2005-12-22 11:16 /sbin/telinit -> init

telinit is just a link to init.
