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 ...

Re: [opensuse] firewall and network
Hello, On Mar 26 10:43 Darryl Gregorash wrote (shortened): > If you need CUPS printer access across the network, open ipp > (port 631) for TCP. Perhaps IPP port 631 for UDP is also needed, see http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:CUPS_in_a_Nutshell "The Spooler" In the YaST firewall module there are predefined "services" for IPP (and also for Samba if you use Samba) so that it should be easiest to use the YaST firewall module. By the way: I wonder why a firewall is active for a network zone in which services should be used which require trusted users (nobody lets arbitraty users print on his printer). By default the Suse firewall allows any access via a network interface which belongs to the "internal zone" because this zone is trusted by default. If the CUPS server and the client systems are in an internal network and when you trust all what there is in your internal network, your network interface must be set to be in the "internal zone". It doesn't make sense to have a network setup in a trusted internal network with a network interface which belongs to the untrusted "external zone" (which is the default to be safe).

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.

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.

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.

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 settings. 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 output on the computer? Internally, have you properly connected the CD player to the main board's audio plug?

[opensuse] Dual core CPUs abd device drivers
Perhaps not SUSE-specific.

Failing that, and assuming that devices are happy together on CPU0, is there any reason user processes don't favor CPU1?

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.

[opensuse] Re: AppArmor - SuSE 10.0
Ysgrifennodd Dominic Reynolds: Hi Peter, Hi Dominic Can you attach this file so we can look at it and identify the problem? Just to prove I'm not totally useless (almost totally, but not entirely), I've fixed it. See below. Also is that what the error says? I would have expected this to come from /etc/subdomain.d. Thats where the file usr.X11R6.bin.acroread should reside (at least the one that contains a AppArmor loaded profile). This could be a problem with the error message we are presenting in this case. If the error does indeed give that path I would still like to see: /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
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 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

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

I couldn't make this solution work, but have found some and documented them here: http://en.opensuse.org/Printing_to_file_with_CUPS jdd -- http://www.dodin.net Lucien Dodin, inventeur http://lucien.dodin.net/index.shtml -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

That might be a problem, coz i meat some programs which needed there english. IMO the better way is to change the lang for KDE or Gnome only.

You might try the latest from openSUSE instead. The issue you mention has been addressed about 3 years ago!
