[opensuse] Fatal error: Could not load /lib/modules/....... /module.dep: No such file or dir
I am running opensuse 10.2 32bit. I need to compile the kernel with CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS enabled because of certain USB issues and vmware running a Windows guest. My current kernel is 2.16.18.8-0.1-default. My goal was to to compile a kernel with the CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS enabled and call it 2.6.18.8-0.1-usb. I did the following steps, with source and compiler loaded. cd /usr/src/linux make mrproper make menuconfig and add the required usb support make make modules_install make install mkinitrd. After doing these steps all appears to be in order. Boot contains config, System.map, initrd, and vmliz files for 2.6.18.8-0.1-usb (as well as for 2.6.18.8-0.1-default) Grub has entries for both the -default and -usb kernels. The -default entry boots and runs fine. The -usb entry starts the boot, gets through various things and then gives the error message Fatal error Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.18.8-0.1-usb/modules.dep: No such files or directory The file, however, does exist. /ib/modules/2.16.8-0.1-usb/modules.dep exists and is essentially identical to /lib/modules/2.6.18.8-0.1-default. the only difference is that 2.6.18.8-0.1-default contains a reference to two vmware modules not yet contained in 2.6.18.8-0.1-usb. I do notice that the /boot directory contains the following files symsets-2.6.18.8-0.1-default.tar.gz symtypes-2.6.18.8-0.1-default.gz symvers-2.6.18.8-0.1-default.gz for which there is no equivalent 2.6.18.8-01.1-usb Any pointers would be appreciated Mike -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[opensuse] How to make Wake On LAN setting persistent?
How to make Wake On LAN setting persistent? According to this answer: http://ahh.sourceforge.net/wol/faq.html#q2 the modules.conf needs to be adjusted. But on openSUSE-10.2 there does not seem to be a modules.conf, but a modprobe.conf. Are those the same (or at least similar)? How should I confugre my system for wake on lan (wol), when I have a via_rhine ethernet card? Can I just "options via_rhine enable_wol=1" to the modprobe.conf.local file, or even beter add a it in a seperate file to /etc/modprobe.d?

When I look at the definition of Open Source, it says the following: Open source doesn't just mean access to the source code. The distribution terms of open-source software must comply with the following criteria: 1. Free Redistribution The license shall not restrict any party from selling or giving away the software as a component of an aggregate software distribution containing programs from several different sources. The license shall not require a royalty or other fee for such sale. This certainly appears to meet the first and fourth freedom of RMS's statements about running and redistribution. 2. Source Code The program must include source code, and must allow distribution in source code as well as compiled form. Where some form of a product is not distributed with source code, there must be a well-publicised means of obtaining the source code for no more than a reasonable reproduction cost preferably, downloading via the Internet without charge. The source code must be the preferred form in which a programmer would modify the program. Deliberately obfuscated source code is not allowed. Intermediate forms such as the output of a preprocessor or translator are not allowed. This appears to meet the requirement that we have the freedom to study it, since we get the source code. 3. Derived Works The license must allow modifications and derived works, and must allow them to be distributed under the same terms as the license of the original software. Here we appear to have the right to modify and make changes and re-distribute the software. I've left the rest of the definition here for the sake of completeness, but as far as I can see, none of the other provisions are in any way opposed to the four freedoms announced by RMS. What freedom is missing? 4. Integrity of The Author's Source Code The license may restrict source-code from being distributed in modified form only if the license allows the distribution of "patch files" with the source code for the purpose of modifying the program at build time. The license must explicitly permit distribution of software built from modified source code. The license may require derived works to carry a different name or version number from the original software. 5. No Discrimination Against Persons or Groups The license must not discriminate against any person or group of persons. 6. No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor The license must not restrict anyone from making use of the program in a specific field of endeavor. For example, it may not restrict the program from being used in a business, or from being used for genetic research. 7. Distribution of License The rights attached

[opensuse] Love that KMail!
So my mom calls the other night - she's got a problem with KMail (SUSE 9.2). According to her she's getting a few spam accounts which are somehow auto-sending into her drafts folder. She thinks someone has a hold on her system. Tonight my family goes over to have dinner. I take a look at her computer. All seems well. I go to look at Kmail. Sure enough, there are three items in her drafts folder: lose weight with... how to lose weight now... weight loss secrets... Hmm, I think. I open her filters and - what do you know? She's created a filter on the word "weight" which sends all items to her drafts folder. /me shakes head Users! -- k -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[opensuse] Gnupg question/problem
Hello SuSE people. Running 10.2 64 bit. Right after I installed it I setup pgp as root. Mistake, Every time I want to encrypt or decrypt a file I have to change to root. Real pain since most of those file are in my own /home directory. How do I undo the root pgp and then set up a user (me) to do the encrypting and decrypting, or at least add myself as a user?

[opensuse] lirc - "does not support sending"
So, I've built a lirc receiver/transmitter. The receiver works well and I've learning a number of my remotes. Now, I want to be able to send these commands. When I issue the irsend command (irsend send_start 57F510 PowerToggle) I am told that the hardware does not support sending. I compiled lirc with the "--with-transmitter" switch and the serial driver. If I watch the IR LED with the webcam on my Windows PC I can see it blink on and off as the OpenSUSE machine is booting and initializing. I've read online that the OpenSUSE serial driver is broken and won't transmit. (See http://iguanaworks.net/ir/serial/faq.shtml) So, what must I do to get my lirc transmitter working?? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/lirc---%22does-not-support-sending%22-tf3465373.html#a9668418 Sent from the openSUSE community mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Well, as usual, it depends. For example I used it to run ie6/word/excel/powerpoint/outlook 2000 and the MS Office viewers successfully, but I see (nearly) no point in doing this, since Linux offers so much natively. Imho a worthwhile exception might be the office viewers from MS. Although they are really rarely used on my machines, they always offer you the "Officially Microsoft approved way of looking at an Office document". Rarely used but sometimes _REALLY_ useful. kind regards Eberhard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
