To try to make it CIVIL and uncomplicated, I am going to give an example that I 
give to my Windows friends.

The Amish computer virus.  It works like this:
You have just received the Amish virus.

Since we have no electricity or computers, you are on the honor system.

Please delete all of your files on your hard drive. Then forward this message 
to everyone in your address book.


We thank thee.

That is a simplification.  If you have gained access to a persons home 
directory your a step closer to rooting the box. (depending on the users 
authority) You may or may not have rights to run programs, etc.  If not, then 
you need to get administrator rights, and you have to take another step.

I have never claimed such a thing is impossible, but it is far more
difficult to do with Linux.  In order to send out spam, something has to
execute that can do that.  That means the user has to make something
executable and then execute it.  That barrier is much lower in Windows. 
The bottom line, which you apparently refuse to accept, is that it is

much more difficult for such problems to occur with Linux.  Please note,

I think we agree on the subject.

[opensuse] NForce NF6100-400/405

[Kaare Rasmussen]

Hi

It seems that this motherboard doesn't have linux drivers. it doesn't detect 
the network driver, and every attempt to install one fails. Oh, the card does 
find the net, but there's a approx. 10 % drop of packets due to frame errors.
I've tried to install the drivers from 
http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_nforce_1.23.html with no change of 
behavior.

Searching the net I don't find a lot of information about the NForce 
NF6100-400/405.  Not on NVidias sit or anywhere else.

So I'll ask if anyone knows anything about drivers or even just if NVidia will 
release a driver for this card soon.

Make a dd of the XP partition so you can overwrite the Vista

I have had ISP issues so I am catching up.  I had the same in OOo
because of a corrupt TTF file.  I find reinstalling from source ZIP
works for corrupted font files.  Likely its bad on windows also.

BTW I have a nice collection of fonts I downloaded plus some from
friends and even Win311 days.  They work though I would not install on
system seems they load in memory so I just spadmin them into OOo for use
there.

I just have to remember where the backups are in case the on drive one
gets screwed.

Lee,

Okay, i downloaded this live CD but it doesn't go further than the language 
choice and then the choice to start the "Live CD" either. I only have a 
choice of "Live CD" and "Live CD with graphics in safe mode" (or something). 
Whatever i choose, I only see "initrd.gz..." before my 
screen goes blank and it gets stuck as if i booted with knoppix or 
opensuse10.2. Do you got any "magic" boot loader command? Or i don't know 
what i can do now... i'm stuck...just bought a new PC and i don't wanna get 
used to Windows Vista now where i finally got linux running even on my office 
work station. :) Help is still appreciated!

Thanks,
Ron

OK, does someone know what's the difference (besides that obviously it
misses packages) between:
http://software.opensuse.org/download/KDE:/KDE3/
and
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE3/xxx

I have the first from the guru's smart package, I did not add it manually.

That's what it will do by default. But if you just click on the Partition
selection, you can select from a bunch of different option, including picking
whatever partition you want.

And yeah, pick an empty partition, not necessarily an empty hard drive, is the
way to go.

My favorite online installation guide is here:

Idle CPUs (or cores) naturally consume less power.

I was under the impression that the Core 2 processors were more energy 
efficient (as well as far better performing) than their predecessors.

In any event, peak power consumption occurs only during 100% CPU 
utilization (and that power consumption depends somewhat on the mix of 
instructions, i.e., which portions of the CPU's processing logic is 
active). When the CPU is idle, it's power consumption (and thus its 
heat output) are much less.

Keep in mind, too, that the "chipset" consumes quite a bit of power, 
independent of what kind of CPU it serves. These are things like the 
memory controller hub, MCH, the I/O controller hub, ICH (usually 
combined) and especially the GPU as well as other chips contribute 
significantly to the system's power consumption.


Check out  
for interesting power consumption measurements for various current 
CPUs, including the Core 2 Duo.

kdepim package has build number as well, not only the version. and
there is a new build, at least for 10.0 there is
kdepim3-3.5.7.enterprise.0.20070904.708281-3.1

I do not see it yet in the 10.2 repositories, but maybe it's not
distributed yet.

The latest version has fixed the problem.  Kmail now works.

It's in kdepim3.  There is currently a lot of change happening in the 
buildservice KDE3 packages as we sync up with what will be in 10.3 there.  If 
you need a really stable (in the sense of unchanging packages, you may need 
to downgrade your KDE to the 3.5.5 packages that came with 10.2.

Thanks for replying Will,

Yep, I had to downgrade all of KDE all of the way back to the original 
that came with 10.2
Shame, because there were several upgrades along the way until this last 
one which broke KMail.


Surely I can't be the only one that this happened to.

Should I be reporting a bug? or is it known and the right people are 
already working on it.
Will we get to know when it is safe to upgrade again, or cross our 
fingers and hope?

Bob, I had a similar problem and finally hit on a method to get the earlier 
kde stuff back.  First I tried to simply go back to the previous version of 
Kmail, but that failed miserable. 

I use smart to do the updating and such.  So this morning I searched for 
kdebase and found a whole passle of stuff, I went to kdebase and selected the 
previous version, kdebase 3.5.5-102.6.  Selecting that brought up a number of 
dependencies to downgrade.  Then I looked for various kde things in that 
range, 3.5.5-102.6 and that took me further toward nirvanna.  I made sure 
kdepim was at that level too.  The I said GO and lo and behold, it downgraded 
kde to where it was useable and Kmail works like it's supposed to.

I tried to do the same thing yesterday using YAST but that was a complete 
failure for me.  Maybe someone else can give you another more specific way to 
do it, but this worked for me.

Good luck,
Richard

[opensuse] Xephyr, xauth, etc, under 10.3

[John Layt]

Hi,

I'm having a few issues getting Xephyr working on 10.3 for my KDE4 development 
environment.

Here's what I'm doing:

  sudo xhost +local:kde-devel
  su - kde-devel
  Xephyr :1 -screen 1024x768 &
  export DISPLAY=:1
  bin/startkde &

Which gets me:

  AUDIT: Tue Sep  4 19:40:14 2007: 18007 Xephyr: client 1 rejected from local
host (uid 1001)
  AUDIT: Tue Sep  4 19:40:14 2007: 18007 Xephyr: client 1 rejected from local
host (uid 1001)
  No protocol specified
  xsetroot:  unable to open display ':1'

etc...

This proceedure was working for me in Kubuntu a short while back, so I guess 
there's something about openSuse's setup that's different.  I've tried 
googling, but nothing springs to light.  Any ideas?

Cheers!

John.

Yes,

I think i'll try Suse 10.3 beta as soon as available. This is I guess my only 
chance... or doesn anyone know of a live CD using kernel 2.6.22?

I think that may be his best chance of getting an install Andreas, to 
install 10.3.  Sounds to me like the newer kernel may help a lot on 
such new hardware.  I suppose also, he could download a LiveCD that 
uses the new kernel, 2.6.22 or better to test with that also.  Wouldn't 
matter what distro to test with, since there is no 10.3 LiveCD out yet,

[opensuse] MSI Laptops under openSUSE 10.2

[Daniel Feiglin]

Has any one tried running MSI Laptops under openSUSE Linux 10.2?

Specifically has anyone tried the VR600 model?

What's interesting about it:
1. It's not too expensive
2. You can buy it without a pre-installed Windows OS i.e. no Gates tax.

Thanks,

DAF

Andreas, I've done the following:
Last week i went to buy a new PC. I decided to get an acer aspire ASE700
which comes witch a Quad Intel 6600 Processor, 2 GB RAM and 500GB
Harddrive. It seemed to be a pretty good deal for the price they had
offered it. Anyways, after playing around with Windows Vista, I would have
liked to really use my system and install Suse 10.2 on it. Okay, i
downloaded the single CD to install from the net. booted from it - black
screen after LILO. Okay I thought, it maybe the CD. I downloaded all the
ISOs, burned em and now: The bootmanager comes up, when I
select "installation" and "Text Mode" it loads the kernel and gets stuck
on "ACPI: PCI Root Bridge [PCI0] (:00)" I have no idea what this means
but above this it says: "your CPUs had inconsistent fixed MTRR settings
ACPI: probably your BIOS does not setup all CPUs. 
ACPI: corrected configuration. 
ACPI: Interpreter enabled
ACPI: Using IOAPIC for interrupt routing
ACPI: PCI Root Bridge [PCI0] (:00)"
Ctrl-Alt-Del doesn't work anymore Okay, Power-off, Power-on
This time I selected "Installation--ACPI Disabled" (and text mode) "loading
kernel" seems to be fine but it gets stuck on a screen saying:
"PCI: Found IRQ 5 with :00:02.0
PCI: Found IRQ 5 with :00:03.0
PCI: Found IRQ 5 with :00:1a.0
PCI: Found IRQ 5 with :00:1c.0
PCI: Found IRQ 5 for device :00:1c.0
PCI: Found IRQ 5 with :00:01.0
PCI: Found IRQ 5 with :00:02.0
PCI: Found IRQ 5 with :00:03.0
PCI: Found IRQ 5 with :00:1a.0
NET: Registered protocol family 2
Ctrl-Alt-Del doesn't work anymore Okay, Power-off, Power-on
This time I selected "Installation--Local APIC Disabled" (and text
mode) "loading kernel" seems to be finebut it gets stuck again, this time
the screen says:
"ACPI Interpreter enabled
ACPI: Using PIC for interrupt routing
ACPI: PCI Root Bridge [PCI0] (:00)"
So i really don't know further. Does anyone know any of above messages? 
I've also tried to boot with following commands:
acpi=off
acpi=oldboot
pci=acpi
pci=noacpi acpi=noirq
pci=routeirq
acpi=force
acpi_irq_balance
acpi_irq_nobalance
apic
noapic
lapic
nolapic
but it's all been unsuccesful.
May
anyone help me to get it installed? It would so much be appreciated!
I've asked in alt. os. linux.suse but nobody was able to help me from
there... I'm getting desperate... :o
Thank you!
Ron

Same here.

I haven't done a reinstall of 10.2 in a while.  I have the various
Betas of 10.3 installed and they are fine so far.  Granted I don't use
them heavily like I do the 10.2 install.

I also have a couple Ubuntu variations installed.. and they are fine.

It is only this one install of 10.2.  I've searched around on the web,
but as of yet turned up nothing that was useful or helpful.

It's easy... install the RPM, and then run the config perl script.
Advantages are basically you can synch the time of the guest to the
host, smooth transitions for the mouse when you're using a GUI in the
guest, better handling of the graphics card and so on.

I had my NIC probs prior to installing the VMWare tools with no
change after installing the tools.

Thanks for the tip, but... a small question... "restart"? "pc"?

Since this is linux, and not that "pc" OS we all know so well, shouldn't
it be enough to type:

mount -oremount /proc/bus/usb

?

What version of Linux are you trying to install? What kind of errors are
you getting? We had some major headaches getting some newer motherboards
working with older versions of Linux.

Just edit your fstab. Add  *"#"   *to your usb line, like this:

#usbfs/proc/bus/usbusbfs

Then add this line:

usbfs   /proc/bus/usbusbfs  defaults,devmode=666 0 0

For what it is worth, I have currently have a openSUSE 10.2 --nogui installed 
on WMware 6
(45731) on a openSUSE 10.2 host and the network works fine. I just upgraded the 
OS via
smart and it still works fine. I can't remember any problems in the past like 
the one you
are describing.

I also have several installations of different 10.3 betas with gui and the 
networks all work
fine. I have never had a problem like the one you are describing.

I normally use a "Bridged" network connection which uses DHCP connection 
attributed by my
modem/router 

Does the same thing happen if you re install 10.2 as a new VMware instance ?

Note: I have never installed VMware tools on a linux (VMware) installation 
because I have
never taken the time to read the manual to fine out how. 

voilà et voilà

James

The CPU itself should not cause any problems - if you get some, I would
expect them in the components,

I opted to not recompile the kernel and jump through all the hoops.
When I plug in a USB device, usually a flash drive, KDE sees it but
VirtualBox doesn't. I simply share the device with Samba and voila!
VirtualBox now has access to it. 

That solution works for me but might irritate the crap out of others

[opensuse] openSUSE 10.2 in VMware 6 - network card not working on boot

[Clayton]

I have a minor annoyance with my openSUSE 10.2 install inside a VMWare
6 instance.  When I boot up the VM of openSUSE, the network card is
not working.  It is really simple to get it working.. fire up YAST, go
to Network Card, delete the network card, click Finish.  Then go back
to Network Card, click Edit, Next, Finish... and the network is up and
working.

Host is openSUSE 10.2, and guest is openSUSE 10.2  VMWare tools are
installed and configured.

I don't see anything odd in /var/log/messages... just messages that I
took the eth down... brought it back up and an IP being assigned.

It's only a minor annoyance since it's only broken on boot... and I
only boot the VM at most once per day (it's my work desktop).

Anyone have any suggestions or ideas why this is happening?

Rui,
Wherever you or Russ find your ASUS boards, I'm sure others are listed 
as well.  If the site or store you shop at only have ASUS equipment, 
then I would suggest you locate something that has a wider selection.  
The choice is yours, do your homework, look over the features and make 
a choice, not always the latest thing out, but you'll be better assured 
it will work with your favorite Linux.

good luck on you quest!

Thank you for your reply with all those emails.
I've had a few problems with ASUS too but, the question about the
examples where about an alternative to ASUS. Sorry for that, should have
specified.

If you just have small personal projects, any size will do.  You don't
even need a separate partition; I keep my old repositories in ~/cvsroot
(still called that for historical reasons; most are SVN now).

Funny, I didn't have any problems with the ASUS boards I bought, the last
one being a socket 939 nforce4 board (forgot the name).

You take your chances on ASUS equipment.  Just check the many forums and 
mail lists to get an idea of the many problems associated with 
something asus and Linux.  ASUS had good stuff several years ago when 
they were trying to build their brand, but there are better choices 
now.

Ultimately, your decision, but I would give it careful consideration.

Are the same bugs built into the quad core as are in the dual core?  
Might be something you want to check about before investing.

Why is Vista needed for college? I can't imagine going to a school which

Just to clarify - you have the ability to show what apps are running in a 
horizontal scroll bar shown in the middle of the screen and similar to KDE's 
task switcher.  

As far as I know, I have yet to see such a thing. 

I've yet to see really anything in Vista - except for the temperature gauge 
thingy - that is remotely cool. In fact, I rarely see my desktop so I don't 
bother with teh temperature thingy in Linux. (I forget what it is called.)

[opensuse] aMule eating a world of RAM

[Ciro Iriarte]

Hi, anybody having problem with aMule?, i'm running aMule-2.1.3-1.pm.1
on a Core 2 Duo laptop with [EMAIL PROTECTED] Come from the office this
morning and found my laptop almost unresponsive. I could hardly login

And it scales upto 1024 cores and 128 TeraBytes of RAM in a SSI (one kernel 
running). NOT a cluster ;)

It's in kdepim3.  There is currently a lot of change happening in the 
buildservice KDE3 packages as we sync up with what will be in 10.3 there.  If 
you need a really stable (in the sense of unchanging packages, you may need 
to downgrade your KDE to the 3.5.5 packages that came with 10.2.

It seems to me that earlier in the installation process you have to indicate
what drive/partition to use for the installation. I have installed 10.2 without
any problem on an existing partition without repartitioning the drive, parallell
to an existing 9.3 installation.

I use windows in a virtual box. Now VMware server is *free* that is the ultimate
solution, since you can communicate between the two systems using samba. If you
possess the windows installation disks, you could go for that option.
Unfortunately few MS windows users do.
