Really? In the past (and still today on SLES10) I've happily modified
the pam's configuration files by hand. I think you can safely modify
them.

You will robably only have to add the 2 lines related to pam_ncp_auth.
The other settings seems similar to what's in the common-* files

The only application that plays .mp3 out of the box in 10.2 is Real Player.  
This is because .mp3 is a patent encumbered codec, and Real Player is paying 
money for the ability to play .mp3.

You can install the .mp3 codec for other applications (like amarok) if you 
choose to.

These codecs and applications compiled with .mp3 support are found in the 
packman repository.

I had a similar situation with Suse 10.2 although I'm not sure about OGG 
files.
In my case the problem was that no normal user account belonged to the 
group "audio".
You can verify and possibly add the group audio via yast2->user accounts 
(I don't have my Suse system at hand, so this is from my memory).


I found out after I discovered that when I was logged in as "root" (with 
also the KDE-desktop started from root), the sound system worked as 
expected.


Good luck

I have Firefox 2.0.x, Flash 9.0 r48 and RealPlayer 9.

http://donutmonster.com/stuff/2007/20070917_cbs_innertube.jpg

I did notice that when I right-clicked on the screen I didn't get a menu that

No trouble here using Iceweasel, flash r48 build and Zenwalk Linux.  
Only problem I ran in to was having to allow popups for that site in 
the browser.  Iceweasel is the gnu version of Firefox, so either works.  
I didn't try Konqueror, but I've had very few problems to date with 
multimedia in Zenwalk.

OK, with flash-9.0.48 I see the media player, and everything looks promising,
but when it starts, I get sound and no video.

However, if I use the flash-beta (flash-plugin-9.0.60.184-release) downloaded
from macromedia, I do see the video. That beta plugin has other issues though,
e.g. the music controls on pandora.com don't work. But it's a promising sign
that the next flash update will make cbs innertube work.

When you boot openSUSE (using GRUB I assume) there is a place to enter boot 
options.  If you enter "init=/bin/bash" (without the quotes) that will boot 
and get you a shell with root permissions.

Here just issue the command "passwd" to set the root password to whatever you 
like.  

After that reboot normally and you should be able to log in as root.

The requirements claim Flash 8,  RealPlayer Plus, and FireFox 1.5.

Re: [opensuse] Re: OpenSuse 10.2

[RTF]

Re-hi all,

Last night I successfully (apparently) installed OpenSuse 10.2.  It was 
getting late and I let it run its course when I went to bed.  This 
morning it looked like the only thing I needed to do was set username 
and password but for some reason, it wasn't working.  In the interest of 
time and checking e-mail before I went to work, I went ahead and checked 
mail via Windows.  Tonight, I attempted to boot into OpenSuse but was 
confronted with the sign-on.  I tried what I normally would have used as 
a root username and password unsuccessfully.  The same with my normal 
username and password.  I have not set them but don't know how now to do 
that?  Any clues?  It is installed but I have not yet assigned a 
password for root (nor is root recognized without a password (which I 
have not yet assigned) and I certainly have not yet assigned a regular 
username and password.  :(


Any help would be appreciated.

Best Regards,

Well...I attempted to install once again tonight and was confronted with
the following Installation Summary:

* Delete logical volume /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 (68.8 gb)
*Delete logical volume /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 (1.9 gb)
*Remove volume group VolGroup00
*Delete partition /dev/sda2 (101.9 gb)
*Delete partition /dev/sda3 (70.8 gb
*Delete partition /dev/sda5(? hard to read on the screen) (70.8 gb)

Needless to say, I did not procede further with the installation.  :(



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.

Sorry - I'm coming to this late and haven't seen any earlier posts about 
problems with installing libgnomecanvas et al.

Adding openSUSE (10.2?) repos to a SLED 10 (SP1) install does not strike 
me as particularly wise. Even adding SUSE Linux 10.1 repos to a SLED 10 
installation doesn't really sit well either.

The whole point of SLED is that it provides a stable environment, which 
implies that's it's not going to be shipping with the latest versions 
of software. In your particular instance, libgnomecanvas is supplied 
with SLED (version 2.12).

> environment and select that new version and then "install"? I am just
> looking for the working way to update some of this stuff.

I would guess from your post that you're looking for a more up to date 
version of libgnomecanvas - possibly a requirement for another piece of 
software? If this is the case, then I would also imagine that trying to 
update libgnomecanvas on SLED 10 is going to involve updating a lot of 
other GNOME components (maybe a complete GNOME version update?), which 
is not going to be much fun at all. It would appear that the original 
piece of software you want to install therefore isn't certified to run 
on SLED 10. Maybe using openSUSE instead of SLED is an option?

Jon

Hey, nice. That one's new to me.

The tray icon is nice. I've taken to keeping top or htop running in a 
Konsole tab so when something peculiar happens, I can quickly switch 
over there to see what's up. This is even better.


Thanks for the tip.

Huh? Rekall does it read write just fine.

It shows like this:

The "Author" column fields are drop down lists from which I can choose an

I'm having the same problem using Kmail in Kontact.  Also, while Kmail checks 
for mail, using Kmail to read mail, write mail or write passwords to access 
email accounts is very slow.
It's as if Kmail can only fetch mail when fetching mail.

Just today I have a filtered email that will not delete.  When I try to 'move 
to trash' it gets a red line through it but it doesn't move.  First time this 
has ever happened.

Funny you should bring this up - amarok has started doing the same thing

I got it fixed by updating everything involved, including KDE

I solved the problem too..
I completely removed amarok and tried reiinstalling it, but nothing.
I also tried removing  my amarok-profile but nothing.
I could not find any solution (cause I had no warning or idea what the

Let me rephrase that: robust enough so that I don't notice flaws
on servers and with connections.

A couple of days ago I reported about a problem between zypper and
ftp.gwdg.de. Those are the problems that I don't want to know about;
if there's a problem parsing /a/ file on /a/ server: *deal* with it
instead of bombing out and passing the shreds to me.

[opensuse] Remote X display

[RBStanfield]

Folks,

It hasn't been a priority to remotely invoke X displays until now. Now I get
and am at a loss to interpret 

"cannot connect to X server" and

"Set DISPLAY environment variable, use -display option
   or check permissions of your X-Server"

when try to run Open Office remotely, for example.

"DISPLAY environment variable" --- What is it supposed to contain? I don't have
an example.

"check permissions of your X-Server" --- Permission of which file?

What else do I need to do?

Hi!

If you use on the new openSUSE server local authentication, you can copy
the old /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow files from the Debian system and you
are ready in a simple way. It's just an idea.
You have to change the UID and GID values and rsync the home data.

[opensuse] USB Problem - WinXP under VMware Player

[Andrei Verovski (aka MacGuru)]

Hi !


I have WinXP running under VMware Player 6 (with all USB options enabled, 
VMware tools installed, and USB bus seen in WinXP guest), under SuSE 10.2.

M/b is MSI with Intel 965 chipset and Core 2 Duo CPU.

And now the problem: no matter what I have tried, I am was unable to get 
pocket PC working with ActiveSync. The device is simply not seen anywhere and 
anyhow.

So, I have connected iPod, and the symptom is the same - it is not been 
recognized at all by WinXP guest. Linux host recognizes it, but I am always 
instructed not to mount the iPod in KDE.

Any idea what can be wrong? How I can disable USB hotplug in Linux host?

Thanks in advance for any suggestion(s).

The whois information is consistent with the domain name of Damon's

My guess is that there is sufficent firewall protection arond Lockheed

[opensuse] ncpfs and PAM configuration

[David Tisdell]

Hi all,

I am running 10.2 with an RT kernel for digital audio.
The client from Novell does not work with the RT
kernel (The version 2 client which is in public beta
works fine with a standard Suse kernel on 10.2) After
exchanging emails with the maintainer of the novfs
package, it sounded like it just wasn't going to work.
I had the kernel-source, kernel-syms, and kernel all
at the same version and installation would fail on the
compile of novfs.
It seemed like the time had come to move on and I am
trying to get the ncpfs PAM plugin to work. It is
supposed to be able to create a local account on the
fly and mount the users's home directory from an NCP
server (edirectory on Linux in this case).
I have been trying to follow these HowTos:
http://www.k12ltsp.org/mediawiki/index.php/InterOperability:NovellAuthenticationforK12LTSP
http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/appnote/6019.html
The problem is that they were written for Red
Hat/Fedora and the PAM configuration is different.
Files are referred to that don't exist on Suse in
/etc/pam.d. I don't know what to do with the PAM
configuration. Does anyone have any ideas? i emailed
the ncpfs package maintainer and he said that he
wasn't that familiar with Suse and couldn't help me on
the specifics of PAM.
Ideally I would like to have this be as seamless as
possible for the end users. This is for a middle
school classroom that is moving to Suse on the
desktop.
Thanks.

Re: [opensuse] ncpfs and PAM configuration

[David Tisdell]

Hi Jeff,

There is a comment in common-auth that says that you
shouldn't edit it. It says it will get overwritten.
common-auth looked like the logical suse counterpart
to fedora's system-auth.
Of course /etc/X11/xorg.conf says not to edit it and I
have done so on several occasions without an issue.
Maybe using the syntax modeled in those HowTo's in
common-auth will do the trick.
I'll try that and report back to the list.

Do you really need "X server" specifically, or just a way to remotely
access a graphical login that provides X functionality as if you were
local.

The standard remote X process is sort of clumsy and filled with little
gotchas IMHO.  A couple other choices are VNC and FreeNX.  OpenSUSE
comes with clients and servers for both.   (Windows clients also
readily available.)

I've been using FreeNX for the last couple SUSE releases.  FreeNX has
actually been a bit of a pain to keep running too, so if I were
starting from scratch I would consider VNC.

[opensuse] Reload of SLED and add repo's

[Chris Arnold]

OK, i have been trying for weeks to get the latest of libgnomecanvas and
gnome desktop environment installed on my sled SP1 install; and all
attempts have left the system "broke/unusable". So, i am backing up
stuff now and thinking about reloading the system; and during the
install adding opensuse repos to install libgnomecnavas and the gnome
desktop environment. What are the steps needed to update gnome desktop
environment and libgnomecanvas? Should i be able to click on "software"
during the install and then search for libgnomecanvas (select the
version i want) and then search for gnome desktop environment and select
that new version and then "install"? I am just looking for the working
way to update some of this stuff.

I tried using Kmail and Thunderbird with exactly the same results. So it
was  evident it was not an Evolution problem. I googled some more for a
different subject and then I found a page saying that MTU value could be
the problem. As root, I used "ping -f -l 1500 192.168.0.1" (that is my
winbox's IP) and sure enough, there was a message "WARNING: probably,
rcvbuf is not enough to hold preload.". I kept trying lower values until
I reached 576 for MTU. I went to Yast and set it for eth1, and now,
everything works fine. Maybe it will help others with similar problem.

Thank you and regards.

Another basic debugging technique is just to connect to the POP3 server
using telnet and see what happens.

But even better would be to turn on logging in Evolution. Does it have
logging? How do you turn it on? Sometimes programs give more information
if you start them from a console.

Try fetchmail.

It's similar to a daemon, or runs from a console, it only fetches and then
forwards to postfix for local delivery. But it writes very verbose logs if 
you ask it to.

Sample .fetchmailrc file:

- -*-*-*
set postmaster "cer"
set nobouncemail
set no spambounce
set properties ""
set syslog


poll nimrodel.valinor with proto imap, timeout 15, and tracepolls
user testing, with password a9e6i8o, is cer here, fetchall, and keep, 
and ssl
*-*-*-

You call it like "fetchmail -v". Or -v -v for more diagnostic messages.

It's man pages are good.



Then, you can also trace the connection using wireshark (aka ethereal), 
both in linux and windows.

I would think you misconfiguration evolution somehow. Do it again. Or the

it.

I do not think there are any extra repos ... however, SLED 10 is
essentially similar to OpenSuse 10.1 ... so I have successfully used
this repo to add programs that were otherwise unavailable.

I like SLED (by that I mean some of the nice additions ... VPN in
network manager, the Helix Banshee offering especially after SP1, the
fact that it comes with the GroupWise client, etc ... )  but the
slimmer package repo and the much much smaller community means that
there are specific to sled issues that are sometimes difficult to
resolve. Plus the much slower dev/update cycle can be frustrating.

I don't think so: by downloading the dvd iso you get what you have in
the box (apart maybe from a printed manual)

These are different "products". You should choose between the
"entreprise" version and the "opensuse"  version. You have to decide
what is important for you: if you want a lot of "updated" software, go
with the opensuse distribution. SLED10 Service Packs will give you
some updated softwares (firefow went from 1.5 to 2.x, new kernel, ...)
but nothing similar to opensuse, as Novell could not provide support
to all the software around.

Kind regards,

Gaël

[opensuse] posix incompliant usernames on SUSE

[Peter Nixon]

Hi Guys

I have spent several days porting a system across from an old Debian server 
to a shiny new openSUSE 10.2 machine including moving thousands of user 
accounts and home dirs. I was just about to put the new system into 
production and found that our provisioning scripts fail to create new users 
with the following error:

# useradd 00c002f8dfe9
useradd: Invalid account name `00c002f8dfe9'.

I dug a little deeper and found the following in the man page for SUSE's 
version of useradd:

"The  account  name  must  begin  with  an alphabetic character and the rest 
of the string should be from the POSIX portable character class ([A-Za-z_]
[A-Za-z0-9_-.]*[A-Za-z0-9_-.$])."

Now, I am sure this is correct POSIX behaviour, but the fact is I have a 
working Debian system and a non working SUSE system with no chance to change 
the way our accounts are created. They ALL start with a number (because they 
are based on MAC addresses) and we have field deployed software using this 
system which would take months to update.

How can I turn off this account name check on SUSE?

TIA

Not sure when SP2 is due but pretty confident that you wont see KDE4 in

upgrades).

SLED10 SP1. There are a few programs that 
I miss?

Is there a SP2 in the pipeline and if
so will it include KDE4?

Does the boxed version of SLED10 SP1
include more packages than the downloadable one?

Is it possible to "Upgrade" SLED evaluation
to 10.3?

I understand the problem.

I have a form with a sub-form linked via an index... Whenever I select
an entry in primary form I see all relevant entries linked in the
sub-form... Can edit and update records in both form and sub-form...,

Table structure is roughly

Table A

Index, data

Table B

Index, Link to A index, data

Form to Sub form relationship based on linking field 1 to field 2...

Your structure implies a read only join...

Adding a new subform entry is clunky... and adding primary entries is
definitely very clunky indeed (when committing a new entry tend to keep
ending up on first record in table, so you have to go to the last entry
and continue from there).

I would think you misconfiguration evolution somehow. Do it again. Or the 
remote pop server is down, or the windows machine is already connected to 
it. 

An error message would be good to have. Crystal balls are expensive and 
unreliable.

The only thing that can take out the whole thing is a bad file being 
distributed from suse to all the mirrors.

If one of the servers is down, when Yast checks it and fails, it will pop 
up a dialog: just tell it to ignore that source.

True, the whole thing should be worked out better, so that you can cancel 
anytime, or skip any time, and get better info, because the message 
always says something about the CD/DVD being bad, not about the remote 
source unless you make it show the details.

I can write to single tables, not those with relation active. I'll try to 
explain again...

My Library "Libros" table (simplified) is shown like this:

   TitleAuthor_nm
- -- - 
Robots and Empire 1
Rendezvous with Rama  2

I can create a new entry, but I have to look up manually the number of the 
corresponding author, and write up the number, not the name. Do you 
see what I mean?

This is useless.

I can create a table view, that combines two tables, like this:

   BooksAuthors
  ---  -
   Book_ID+---> Author_ID
   Title  | Author
   Author_ID -+


Now, the view shows correctly:

   TitleAuthor
- -- -
Robots and Empire  Asimov
Rendezvous with Rama   Clarke

But it is Read Only. Again, useless.


Do you understand the problem now?


All the above works perfectly, and much faster and with less complexity, 
with Rekall.

In regard to Package Management, you always can have a look at Ubuntu or
Debian fopr tha tMatter. They may not have Yast but their Package
Management works greatly.

Actually I had concluded, that package management is not what I do for a
living, otherwise I would have switched to Ubuntu for long. ;-))

That was it. Thanks! I commented them out. I seldom do mount those manually.


Thanks again, this whole thing was really annoying.

Nope, I can do data entry without too much of a problem from the

Not entirely...,

Main gripe is that under the hood is some OpenOffice scripting... but
the documentation for the scripting language is to put it at its
politest sparse the last time I looked at it 

There are somethings I would like to do (e.g. put in a template selector
for a default template) and do something about path handling so I do not
have to create different versions of the same template for Windows and
LInux.

You mean the same Mac which occasionally ship patches which break or
remove features from users systems :-)

No, update system is likely to be perfect, and most experienced sys
admin on all platforms test these things out to find out if anything
breaks before deploying. For home users or smaller outfits this is
problematic as the resources do not usually exist to this kind of checking,

Except, when something takes out both original and mirrors e.g. the
recent packman blip...(which had little to do with SuSE). What I did
find a little irritating in the latter case I got no option to disable
but only the option to delete the offending location.

This is the first major problem I have noticed with the primary SuSE
repositories for quite some time. IMHO Compared to some other
maintenance and download services (e.g. CPAN and Eclipse) it is on a par...

Unfortunately, this is one those things one tends to notice when it is
not working, and forget about when it does. It also seems to occur more
frequently at weekends or public holidays when there is no-one on site
and in the case of hardware failure, no suppliers around to replace the
broken kit...
