[opensuse-factory] Do java apps work for you in Konqueror?

http://www.physics.ox.ac.uk/jpc/Demo.html

I'm using Alpha2Plus (Factory).  The page above does not work, nor other java 
applications.  Not sure if this is a distribution bug or something that I 
have screwed up on my machine.  I have tried java 1.5.0u11 and 1.4.2 from 
distribution and java 1.6 from java.sun.com.  None of these work.

At the moment, no graphical Java application works due to implementation 
errors in SUN Java ( https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=252510 ).
Only work around working at the moment is to use 
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libXinerama.so.1.0.0 DISPLAY=:0 application
and this only with version SUN Java 1.4.2, 1.4.2 gcj-compat or 1.4.2 cacao.
If you use one of the latter two (which will not work too well), only 
konqueror will be possible as a browser. You need to close all konqueror 
instances and start konqueror from an xterm:
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libXinerama.so.1.0.0 DISPLAY=:0 konqueror
If you use SUN Java 1.4.2 you can use firefox as well
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libXinerama.so.1.0.0 DISPLAY=:0 firefox
This bug is really annoying, but we can't do anything from our side, as it is 
a problem occuring in the JRE, which is binary only.

[opensuse] installing from usb on old laptop

2007-03-27 Thread Morten Bjørnsvik
Hi

Do anyone knows how to boot the suse10.2 internet installation image via usb or 
any other option?
New harddisk and broken cd-rom player

I do not seem to get to the usb via bios. It's an old IBM T40.

Last time I installed on an other laptop, but the hardware is somewhat 
different so
I spent a long time getting proper hardware support, shutdown hang, hibernation 
wrong etc.

install can be done from two files : linux and initrd from the 
/boot/.. of any suse install cd (real place depends of distro version) 
and any grub boot media (floppy...)


so the problem is to copy these files first to the Hard drive. any 
pre-installed system is ok, includins windows or dos if it can 
understand usb, cd  or pcmcia stuff


I think this is documented in the wiki, but don't have a link at hand

Does it have serial console?

I've had problems installing any suse higher than 9.3 on

serial console have fixed it (db9 serial cable - minicom from another linux).
You probably have some old hardware no longer supported clogging up.

 I'm trying o update an OpenSUSE 10.2 but I'm behind a proxy which requires
 authentication. There's no way I can get YOU to sync. I have tried defining
 http_proxy et al variables with and without user+password  (/etc/sysconfig/)
 to no avail :( I know the http_proxy variables are well defined because I can
 browse the Internet, ftp, ping, dig, ... but YOU just won't work.

 I found this line:

 string command = curl --verbose --proxy %1 %2 --connect-timeout %3 --url %4;

 in the /usr/share/YaST2/modules/Proxy.ycp file, but I'm not sure whether this
 is where I'd have to add one of the

 --proxy-anyauth | --proxy-basic | --proxy-digest | --proxy-ntlm

 options. Is this where I'd have to add one of these options?

 More info, when I try to register my OpenSUSE I get a 56 exit code from curl
 (Failure in receiving network data). When I try to add a new repo I get an
 error stating that the source can't be reached but if I copy'n'paste the same
 URL in a browser ... it shows up.

That's strange, I've had this problem with older versions of SuSE, but
10.2 worked fine.
I defined proxy in YaST (network services- proxy) and it created
/root/.curlrc with the line proxy-user = user:passwrod. That's all
is needed.


Thanks for the tip but ...

When I defined the Proxy settings via YaST (as you describe) I (root)
didn't get the .curlrc file created so I created it manually. Logged
out ... logged in ... rebooted ... The only thing left to do ins
reinstall ;) But I still get the error I get when I start the Online
Update Configuration and when I try to add a new installation source:

  Execute curl command failed with '56':
  curl: (56) Received HTTP code 407 from proxy after CONNECT

My proxy settings are as follows:

  http_proxy=http://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:8080/
  ftp_proxy=http://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:8080/
  gopher_proxy=http://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:8080/
  https_proxy=http://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:8080/
  no_proxy=10*, localhost, 127.0.0.1

Would I have to remove the user:password part from these variables
if I use the .curlrc file? YaST put them there so I guess that's OK
and they won't interfere.

Would I need to add to the .curlrc file a:

--proxy-anyauth | --proxy-basic | --proxy-digest | --proxy-ntlm

entry?

I must say that my OpenSUSE 10.2 has not be updated in anyway since I
have no connection. It's plain ol' DVD installation.

Agreed.  Sophisticated enough not to have to steal your lap top to get what
they want.

Unless combined with full disc encryption finger print readers are likely
just as secure as pins for the purpose of securing your laptop.

Lets make at least a minimal attempt to keep this thread on track.  It
has nothing at all to do with identity theft.  It is concerned with biometric
security on a computer, laptop or otherwise.

Pins, passwords and readers are first line defenses only.  Once they have
your laptop you are screwed.

Until you cough up the money for full disk encryption it makes no sense to get
all hot and bothered about finger print readers.

 that I have installed both Vector Linux v5.8, which uses kernel
 v2.6.18.5, and Kubuntu v6.06, which uses kernel v2.6.17.  Both of
 those correctly identified the system as smp and both ran it fine
 stock speed and overclocked to 506Mhz.  Does anyone have any idea why
 I can't get SuSE to install?  I had the rescue from v9.3 running once,
 but not the install.  Any help will be greatly appriciated.  Thanx

I'm running 10.1 on my bp6.  Works fine.  Was planning to upgrade to
10.2 one of these days.  
The only thing I found necessary was to add the following to 
the grub menu.lst
acpi=force

10.1 runs this machine better than any prior version of Suse.  I used to get
the weird processor errors that bp6 boards are famous for, but not any more.
Even when I did get these errors it works fine.

 That's apparently happened more than once in the U.S.  

It's happening a lot here in Spain (dunno about the rest of Europe). Just 
that the case I told about the making was specially sophisticated.

 In another scam,
 the perpetrator went so far as to set up an entire fake ATM in a mall.
 It skimmed card data and PIN numbers, which he'd then come back and
 download to a laptop later, in the guise of doing maintenance on the
 machine.  He was eventually caught when someone complained to the mall
 management about the ATM that always seemed to be out of cash.

How daring! X-)

The charset only applies to vfat partitions, AFAIK. However... if you have 
created files (the filenames) from apps or terminals using a diferent 
charset like iso or utf, they will be seen diferent on a diferent terminal 
or program.


 There are French characters inside a text file on /dev/sda4, which does
 not display the right characters. 

That is a different issue. Only the filenames are affected by the 
filesystem; the contents depends solely on the app used.

As for the Yast firewall module, I think I mentioned that it is broken

[opensuse] printing to file with cups

2007-03-27 Thread jdd
A very long time ago, I used to create a printcap entry to print to a 
file (and have postscript file in result).


Do you know how to di this with cups.

alternatively, how can we create a _pdf_ printer (print to a file, 
from command line). cups-pdf is _not_ part of openSUSE AFAIK (I know, 
I can compile it...)


should be enough to be able to print to kprinter from console

a workaround is to view the file in konq and print it from there, but 
I like CLI :-)

Just went through this myself. The links you were sent are fine, but they do
everything via the commandline. It should work fine from the GUI.

You want to do the Print via SMB Network Service options. Then type in the
workgroup and hostname (the Windows machine with the printer). Click Look Up
and it should populate the drop down for the Remote Queue Name.  But for me,
it got the wrong name (maybe due to the '-' in it?). The Test Remote SMB
Access button never did work for me.

Click Next and give it a local name, description and location. Make sure the
Do Local Filtering is checked, as SMB needs it.  You probably don't want the
Share Printer to be checked.

Then click next and select the printer model. Then Next and you should be all
set. You can finally do a Test printing from here too.

Thanks for your help Mark but ...

Nope, it doesn't work :( And I've checked my proxy variables and right
now they're just like yours.

I've managed to download a file with curl with the following options:

curl  --proxy-ntlm --proxy-user user:password --url

The only issue is I can't get the RPM files to get named
whatever.rpm, they're all renamed to whatever.rpm.html :(

There's no way to get wget or rsync out through the proxy, the only
one is curl. That's why I'd like to modify the YOU line(s) where curl
is used and add these options: --proxy-ntlm --proxy-user user:password

[opensuse] C++ IDE

 Hi all,

 Is there any famous, robust and efficient IDE for C++ under Linux
 (SuSE)? I have used gcc for a long time without using an IDE but I need
 an IDE for C++ which I think is supported by gc++ (I am not sure). I am
 using GNOME, so I need something else than KDevelop...



I have been searching long time too, but in my opinion, there's no
such IDE yet. All we got are community built  projects **aiming** to
achieve such description of an IDE. I mean, all we got are baby
projects.

My experience tells me the following:

*KDevelop doesn't present an user-friendly interface because of the
large amount of widgets it have, most of them presenting non-relevant
information to the mean user but to specific group of users. The
simply fact that you have 5 different ways to start the IDE from the
KDE applications menu, gives the impression of a large amount of
redundant information spread all around the GUI. This comment is only
about the GUI, I don't mention the incredible number of times that
I've got **SEGMENTATION FAULT** and program crashes while working with
the IDE. In openSuSE 10.2 I couldn't even to start a project !!!.



Anjuta


Anjuta seems to be a good IDE, but it **only seems** to do it. The
Anjuta's version included in openSuSE since 10.0 it's full of bugs,
although it seems to be its latest stable release. I have worked
with it under CentOS and Red Hat and works well, although its
code-completion feature is far from reaching VC7 capabilities, **you
should not move tool bars from its original places because it might
cause the program to crash and never start again** at least you erase
all your configuration files under /home/username/.Anjuta. This seems
to be a problem when the program saves its configuration file, marking
a widget length with negative values. ( This has happened to me
several times).


or
Eclipse with te CDT plugin


It doesn't make sense to run an entire Java IDE just for C++
programming. We all know about Java's memory requirements, and if you
are looking for **efficiency**, this is definitively not a choice, at
least you have a computer with a huge RAM size. There's also a
NetBeans module for C++ programming. But I still think that people
shouldn't try to use a Java IDE for C/C++ programming, indeed, we
should use C/C++ compiled IDEs (e.g. JCreator style) for Java
programming because they are faster and might work well under low RAM
environments.

Furthermore, if you have a 64-bit machine, this might require
additional configuration steps because Sun has not provided a 64-bit
version of their JVM yet and you must use a 32-bit version instead.


or
Ultimate++ (http://www.ultimatepp.org/)



I haven't tried this one. I'll check it out !!!.

**There is also Codeblocks IDE, but is not stable either, and is on a
premature status too.**

**CONCLUSION**

For most of the IDE lovers like me, Anjuta will suit most of your
needs, but this doesn't mean that Anjuta is a good IDE, I think
there's still a lot of work to do on this area for the community.

**This reflects my personal opinion from a Computer Science student
point of view, and a mean knowledge Linux user, and C/C++, Java,
Pascal,  PHP programmer, with different skill levels in each one of
these languages**. I have developed some assignments on this platform,
including one for a Scientific Visualization Research Center at my
campus, (image processing related), and I teach Linux usage (KDE,
OpenOffice, Firefox, Thunderbird usage) for Government's Computer
Education programs.

So I respect more experienced Linux user's opinion, but I recall that
new programmers move to Linux everyday, and community should establish
information flow channels to the new users (as my pupils for example).

If all the things Kai suggests fails, you may have wrong hardware

Start by making sure that you PC speakers' volume is turned up 
physically on the physical speakers.

Have you turned up the volume on the CD player device?
Some devices have a physical volume wheel that must be turned.

Check your cabling. Have you connected the speakers to the right

[opensuse] Dual core CPUs abd device drivers

2007-03-27 Thread Roger Oberholtzer

Perhaps not SUSE-specific. But since SUSE enhances/tweaks code, one
never knows:

Is there any way to (or even any advantage in) assigning a device driver
to a CPU? /proc/interrupts seems always to show the interrupts are for
CPU0, never for CPU1. Failing that, and assuming that devices are happy
together on CPU0, is there any reason user processes don't favor CPU1?
What is the best tool for monitoring per-CPU activity?

 lrwxrwxrwx   1 rootroot 4 2007-03-27 19:07 mnt - /mnt

Same with this. /mnt will get resolved to /mnt on your local machine, which is 
why when you do an ls you see the same things as in /mnt. You are actually 
looking in /mnt twice

I'm not sure what those symlinks were supposed to be, or how they were 
created, but it looks odd

Is the windows box where you say you can access it the same one where you're 
mounting from? That might explain why the symbolic link works there

   Sounds like the CUPS server is not starting at bootup... or, the 
 printer 
 (queue) is not starting at bootup.

No, it doesn't seem to be that. I think the problem comes from misnaming of
the device. Through yast it is expecting device /dev/usb/lp-1 but in fact the
printer is connected as /dev/usb/lp0. I wonder if it is some issue with
it being a printer and scanner and picking up the wrong USB device for the
printer. The problem is on a system with SuSE 10.1. When I tried the printer
with my 10.2 system, two different devices were recognised and configured. I
didn't check what happens after a reboot though.

Thanks :)
  

Sorry.  I think I was in hysterical overstatement mode.

The AppArmor in 10.0 is unfortunate. It was hastily assembled shortly
after Novell acquired Immunix, and hadn't yet figured out a business
model. So the 10.0 version can only profile a handful of applications.

AppArmor in newer distributions is significantly less stupid.
  
Glad to hear it.  And thanks for the tips.  I'll follow your advice and 
I'm sure it'll sort itself out.

 Furthermore, if you have a 64-bit machine, this might require
 additional configuration steps because Sun has not provided a 64-bit
 version of their JVM yet and you must use a 32-bit version instead.

That's wrong.

OK, maybe I got confused with the JRE plugin for Firefox and other

My best guess (without seeing your chages) is that you wrote something
like:

  /*.pdf r,

into the profile.

'*' will not traverse directories, so this would only read pdf files
stored in the filesystem root.

  /**.pdf r,

would let your acroread read any PDFs anywhere.
  
Thanks, but it looks like I spoke too soon in my previous post.  If I 
try the profile wizard, I now get an error message saying:


/etc/subdomain/usr.X11R6.bin.acroread contains syntax errors

When I click OK, the Wizard closes.  Rinse and repeat.

If I click Edit Profile, nothing happens.  If I click Delete 
Profile, nothing happens.  Is there any way I can sort this out by hand?


I'd better stop now before I go into overstatement mode again.

There are improvements in this area from openSUSE 10.2 to identify syntax
errors and provide you better feedback (at least a dialog with a list of bad
files) - as opposed to not running the wizards in yast at all if the profiles
can not be loaded for some reason.

At the point you are at (syntax errors in the profiles) you will need to
correct them and reload the profile set before running the wizards again.

Attaching the profile should let us identify what the problem is and get you
an updated version that you can drop back into /etc/subdomain.d/. 

 
 I'd better stop now before I go into overstatement mode again.

[opensuse] DST with dual boot

2007-03-27 Thread Josef Wolf
Hello,

In good old unix tradition, I always set the HW clock to UTC and let
zoneinfo do the rest.

Now I need to install a dual-boot box (win-XP).  Do I really need to
fall back to the (IMHO) braindead method to set the HW clock to local
time?  Or is there some clever way to get win-xp to accept HW clock
set to UTC?

 No user:password part.

 When defining proxy in Yast, I added username and proxy password in
 Proxy Authentication box and tried Test Proxy Settings. Does it work
 on your machine?

Thanks for your help Mark but ...

Nope, it doesn't work :( And I've checked my proxy variables and right
now they're just like yours.

I've managed to download a file with curl with the following options:

curl  --proxy-ntlm --proxy-user user:password --url
http://curl.haxx.se/programs/curlmirror.txt --proxy
http://proxy.dom.ain:8080/  -O

And managed to get the perl script (curlmirror.pl) to work with the
following command line:

curlmirror.pl -a '--proxy-ntlm --proxy-user user:password --proxy
http://proxy.dom.ain:8080/'
http://download.videolan.org/pub/vlc/SuSE/10.2/ -c -o ./ -s 100 -t
~/tmp/

The only issue is I can't get the RPM files to get named
whatever.rpm, they're all renamed to whatever.rpm.html :(

There's no way to get wget or rsync out through the proxy, the only
one is curl. That's why I'd like to modify the YOU line(s) where curl
is used and add these options: --proxy-ntlm --proxy-user user:password
--proxy http://proxy.dom.ain:8080/

These are the error messages I get with wget and rsync:

YaST finally managed to create the .curlrc file (after rebooting) but
it still doesn't work. Right now .curlrc is as follows:

# Changed by YaST2 module proxy 03/27/2007
proxy-user = user:password
proxy = http://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:8080/

But it' doesn't work so I've also added to .curlrc:

proxy-ntlm

No way. I've logged in and out and rebooted so many times I just can't
believe it :(

Can't I just add these options (--proxy-ntlm --proxy-user
user:password --proxy http://proxy.dom.ain:8080/) to the curl command
line specified in YOU? If so, where?

When I try to use zypper, I get the following error:

I can't add new Installation Sources, I can't get the Online Update

just want to modify YOU so that I can add the options I know that work
on the CLI.


I'm out of ideas, sorry. Looks like it depends on authentication
method used by your proxy.
I understood that curl by default tries different methods. I do not
need to specify any method, so in my case it is able to find the

  /etc/subdomain.d/usr.X11R6.bin.acroread  


As that is what should be getting loaded.
  


Yes.  You're right.  Transcription error.  Sorry.



There are improvements in this area from openSUSE 10.2 to identify syntax
errors and provide you better feedback (at least a dialog with a list of bad
files) - as opposed to not running the wizards in yast at all if the profiles
can not be loaded for some reason.

At the point you are at (syntax errors in the profiles) you will need to
correct them and reload the profile set before running the wizards again.
  


OK.  Putting 2 and 2 together, and for once in my life making 4 (ish), I 
opened the file and corrected the *.pdf r line to read /**.pdf r as 
suggested by Seth.  This seems to have fixed it.  Your asking for the 
file made me look at it, of course - and I thought it'd be worth making 
that one change.  Luckily, it appears to have worked.


I still can't imagine how the application could cheerfully squirrel away 
a syntax error without squawking.  I would have had serious words with 
my team if they'd done that.  :)


Anyway, one good thing is that at least having problems is educational.  
I'll know where to look next time: and Seth's last post was, of course, 
extremely helpful.


Just in case, I actually looked in the manual that came with my SuSE 
10.0 boxed set - since I've advised people to RTFM enough times myself - 
but I couldn't find any mention of AppArmor.  Bit of an oversight, don't 
you think?  Especially with an application that takes it into its head 
every now and then to start putting the barriers up for no good reason 
that I can see.


Still, as I say, an educational experience.

Thanks for the help.  Honestly.  :)

And yes, OK, if I'd just upgrade...  But it's taken me so long to get 
this version set up as I want it, I just can't face the hassle.  Not for 
a year or so, anyway.

[opensuse] Installing 10.2 but keeping my files

2007-03-27 Thread Sorin Peste
Hi,

After running with SUSE 10.1 for a while I've decided it's time to
upgrade to openSUSE 10.2. What I'd like to do is a fresh 10.2 install
while keeping all my /home files (they are on a separate partition). But
I can't seem to get the installer to leave that partition alone. My
80-gig hard disk is partitioned as follows:

sdb1: 1.5GB Linux swap
sdb2: 20GB Linux (reiserfs) /
sdb3: 53GB Linux (reiserfs) /home

The installer thinks I should make sdb3 an 'extended partition' and then
create two additional partitions (sdb4 and sdb5) on it, for housing /
and /home, respectively. If I try to alter this setup I can't make it
leave sdb3 as it is...

If I decide to request a partition scheme by using sdb2 and sdb3
allocated space, it then thinks I should delete (not just format) those
partitions and create identical new ones in their place! Even if I set
it up to not format sdb3, it still lists both partitions as being up for
deletion and re-creation.

I don't know what to do. I'd like to start fresh without losing my
files, if possible. Can I accomplish that without moving an awful lot of
files to another storage?

Thanks,
Sorin

Re: [opensuse] DST with dual boot

Quoting Josef Wolf [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
 Hello,
 
 In good old unix tradition, I always set the HW clock to UTC and let
 zoneinfo do the rest.
 
 Now I need to install a dual-boot box (win-XP).  Do I really need to
 fall back to the (IMHO) braindead method to set the HW clock to local
 time?  Or is there some clever way to get win-xp to accept HW clock
 set to UTC?
 

Yes, set the WinXP timezone to UTC/GMT and remember what the current offset
is.  I find this satisfactory for the small amount I boot into WinXP.  After
buying CrossOver Office, that is almost zero.

 I'm out of ideas, sorry. Looks like it depends on authentication

 I understood that curl by default tries different methods. I do not
 need to specify any method, so in my case it is able to find the
 proper one. And you have to explicitly specify ntml. wget does not
 have any such option.


Thanks for your help :)

I guess I'm stuck. Well if anyone from SUSE/Novell is reading this thread ... 
this is the reason the company I work for has all it's servers running Red 
Hat. We don't have this issue with Red Hat.

Tomorrow I'll try with SLES 10 ... last opportunity to get SUSE/Novell in the 
company I work for ... It would be great help if someone from SUE/Novell 
could step up and lend me a helping hand ... might get them a new customer ;)

Now the thing is ... why curl accepts --proxy-ntlm option on the CLI but it 
doesn't accept it via .curlrc?


 BTW, when you get html file instead of rpm, did you check the size and
 contents of the file (sometimes I saw that resulting html file
 contained some error message instead of the actual file).


Oh they're RPMs ... just that the name gets changed to whatever.rpm.html. 
I'd have to rename all the RPMs back to .rpm. Yes I know, I can script that 
but I don't see the ponit in doing that when YOU/curl/.curlrc should be able 
to patch my system automatically.

Thanks once again :)

You need a i586 JRE plugin if you use a i586 browser. And you use a

[opensuse] Interesting paper on storage for SETI like programs.

2007-03-27 Thread Greg Freemyer

All,

I just saw http://www.cs.umass.edu/~emery/pubs/TFS.pdf

It describes a research effort to modify ext2 to allow the freespace
to be used as a redundant storage solution for large-scale clustered
apps.  (ie. like the SETI app).

As I skimmed the paper, it appears the use of freespace to hold data
means the data will often be overwritten, but since the data is
redundantly maintained on other computers they just let it get blown
away whenever the real user of the computer needs it.

Seems to have little impact on the end users machine performance.

I encourage us as the opensuse community to track the progress.  Maybe
one day this can be incorporated into opensuse with a simple checkbox
during install of if you want to have your machine participate or not.

You can set this up in the KDE Control Center:

Activate Administrator Mode using button at bottom of window
- Shutdown (tab)
Allow Shutdown: local: Everybody (from pop-up menu)

 You said you had a router connected to a DSL modem to run your network.

 I assume you are turning on your Linux firewall...   why?

 What you are telling linux is that you are connected to the internet (not an 
 internal network  and therefore protect me from everything using the 
 firewall.You just shut yourself off from your own network.

 Almost all routers these days are very good firewalls and I would bet that 
 you 
 don't have the firewalls on your Windows machines turned on.

 But in any event, if you want to run the linux firewall, then you are going 
 to 
 have to open up a lot of ports in order to talk to the rest of the network.  
 So you are defeating the purpose here of the firewall.
   
So my router firewall is taking care of the internet part of the
network?  How can I check to make sure this is happening?

a) only if you have set it up (properly), which in view of the second
question appears unlikely
b) read the router documentation for the necessary instructions on how
to access it -- they should all allow http access from within the
internal network.

I've installed the Democracy rpms from the repository and it, mostly,
works fine. However, on about half the videos, when the video reaches
the end the Democracy Player hangs. It will not respond at all. I then
have to kill the process.

Is anyone else seeing this behavior?

[opensuse] hwinfo can't be rebuilt at 64bit Linux

2007-03-27 Thread Zhao Shujing

I try to rebuild hwinfo at RHEL for 64-bit. But there are some errors:


gcc -c -Wall -O2 -pipe -g -fPIC  -I../../src/hd cpu.c
{standard input}: Assembler messages:

and I found the reason is:

Instructions that modify the stack (push, pop, call, ret, enter, and
leave) are implicitly 64-bit.

I fix the source as the following:

  Absolutely.

 I wonder whether the British bank that lost a laptop last week with

 begs the question why the hell this information was even on a laptop in
 a car?

Well, Full Drive Encryption (built into the drive hardware) is brand spanking 
new.  There has been ways to do this after market, but these drives make it
easy because your OS never realizes the drive is encrypted.  Its all taken

I presume there is some boot time password requested, but I've never

  Besides, I never tried VPN on Linux, only did it on Windows: on windows
  the downside is once a host has dialed up VPN, local network connection
  is hidden for it, that I can no longer access the hosts in the same
  office that has not yet dialed in the same VPN. This is not acceptable
  for us.
 

 You used Windows PPTP VPN, which forces the default route through the
 tunnel.  I use OpenVPN, on both Linux and Windows.  It works well and
 does not force the default route.

Ah, enlightened. I should have known the Microsoft stuff wouldn't be as
flexible as we need.

[opensuse] tsclient removed from SuSE?

2007-03-27 Thread Zhang Weiwu
I recall that there had been tsclient come with SuSE 9.x.

Now I am using SuSE 10.2. I cannot find tsclient in the SuSE standard
repository nor in packman. (Can I know why this is removed?)

tsclient is not important to me, because I always use vncviewer
commandline. But we are in a company and I don't like to frighten away
my colleagues by telling them when they want a remote desktop session
(e.g. discuss a contact) they have to start gnome-terminal and type
something there (and, I am sure many of them will type wrongly, with
incorrect placed space ett, because they don't know how to use command
line.

To accept vnc session is easy, go to Control Center and click Remote
Desktop. To start vnc session does one have to use command-line?

Yes I can create a desktop shortcut for them so that they can directly
launch vncviewer which prompt for server address. But I prefer the
standard way: installing some software for them (unless I have to make
the desktop shortcuts).

One can kill the process (or close the window) and the

Also, it goes to 100% and then backs off to 99% for a long period when
running normally.

 To reboot with the kill switch activated or not?, what would that change?

Rename file and boot with kill switch activated (killed).

I've done it, it boots normally with the module renamed

x1600 driver installed.


I've followed all the steps located at 
http://en.opensuse.org/Howto/ATI_Driver without any luck..


When i run sax2 -r -m 0=fglrx the screen goes blank and i'm unable to do 
anything from there.. I've heard people having the same problems where 
they had to disable a few things on xorg.conf.. I've done that and its 
still happing.


Can someone please help me debug this problem? what information do i 
need to find out?


PS: it appears there are no errors in sax2.log, it appears it just freezes.

Thanks
