Joseph Loo, thank you very much.

... this is just another example in my life where a paradigm shift was 
desperately needed!  Thanks again!

I have been creating my own tunnel and running the vncviewer 
(serverside) 
basically piping the X11 protocol back to the client... for so long that I 
just never really considered doing it any other way... and tightvnc has a 
*way* better way.

So, I snooped out the  -via  option and the  VNC_VIA_CMD  environment 
variable (didn't know they existed until tonight--- again, thank you.  So, 
with the clever trick you just taught me:

vncviewer -via hostname hostname:1 
(first password prompt is the tunnel [ssh] password)
(second password prompt is the vnc server password on 
hostname)

the viewer (clientside) establishes the ssh tunnel 
automatically and 
then pipes the VNC *protocol* over the tunnel, instead of X11.  This is 
*much* faster of course---again, thank you!  

The last piece I have to snoop out here is the VNC_ENV_CMD environment 
variable. Using my old scripts some environment is setup (client side, server 
side) before and after the tunnel is established and then the vncviewer is 
called.  My client side stuff can be done easily enough before I start the 
viewer with -via ,  and I think I can modify the VNC_ENV_CMD variable to 
accomplish the same thing I was doing with a script serverside... and if so, 
then whalla Mr Loo--- you have improved my connection efficiency and speed--- 
again, thank you thank you!

[opensuse] Activating system root messages to /var/mail/'username'

[Registration Account]

In version 10.1 part on the install had a small box
during the stage of defining users "to receive System mail"

These messages were sent to /var/mail/'username' and
were in mbox format and could be read by your email
client under a "local delivery" or "movemail" type server.

In 10.2 I did not see the option as part of the install.

Does anyone know where in Yast you go to to active
these messages. If I have to revert to a command line
then that's o.k to.

Any clues or answers?

A word of caution, this is a manual release originally intended for use
when the unit has powered down. Using this when the device is actually
doing something is probably not wise, unless you know that the release
mechanism has been designed to kill rotation before ejection.

I have also been in the situation where software has promptly reloaded
the disc (and nearly my fingers in the process).

[opensuse] where find recent binary PostgreSQL

[Andreas]

Hi,

is there a packet source for recent PostgreSQL binaries?
I just finished installing OpenSUSE 10.2 and like to add PostgreSQL 
8.2.4 instead of the provided 8.1.5.

I'd rather go with something that is at least vaguely official.
PostgreSQL.org has only binaries for fedora+redhat and I found only 
V8.2.0 on ftp.suse.com


Any hope ?

It is optional, and by default not updated, which means that 
opensuseupdater keeps nagging that there is an update pending, being 
false - and that is a bug.

You might want to consider vncviewer -via hostname hostname:1. This will create
a ssh connection to hostname with the same user id you are running from.

This update is optional - It will display that the
update is there but as an optional update you need to
decide to tick it and it will install. Other wise don't
worry about it.

If you change the drop down box to "show patch
category" to - All installed and installable patches
you will see the mandatory - and optional ones which
you have to tick

Some additional details [ how you are going to use this in your setup ] 
would 
be great... because there are several good ways to do this.

I share several of my systems [ and multiple desktops ] across my 
network 
using vncserver, and tightvnc tunnels over ssh, to allow many users access to 
several (a few) servers via shared desktops. 

I can provide a point-by-point howto, but the big picture for now is 
this:

First each server machine runs headless. From remote a user can start a 
vncserver (from their userid home dir) which starts a virtual frame 
buffer---and starts KDE. [ some of my users start gnome, but that's another 
story ]  Then the user issues a remote background command over an ssh tunnel 
that starts vncviewer [ running on the server machine ] and then pipes the 
vncserver back over the X11 ssh session... including password requests etc 
all compressed and encrypted. This works *very* well for local area nets with 
adequate speeds, eliminates the need to open a vnc port on the server, and 
keeps the whole shabang secure. If the desktop needs to be *shared* then the 
vncserver is started with the option to share.  I have used this technique 
for net-meetings and for collaboration... doesn't work well across the WAN... 
but for local setups its fine. You can do a similar thing using the vncviewer 
from the client machine and logging into an open vnc server port on the 
host... but if you do this its a better idea to change the default server 
port number to something else otherwise, its not a good idea.

Directly logging in to a remote desktop isn't such a good idea... also, 
its 
not a real good idea to log directly into an open vnc port... or another way 
to put this is that it is not a good idea to keep a vnc server port open.  
With the first technique the only port open is ssh.  Shipping vnc over ssh is 
more secure, if not much fastereven compressed. 

Is this what you have in mind, or something else?

[opensuse] vncserver access via putty but not from remote desktop sharing

[Alexander.Herr]

Hi list,


I put this onto a new threat, since I bunged up the previous mail's
threat...

I am trying to use KDE desktop sharing. However I am unable to login
into the remote desktop via http (time out error) or via remote desktop
connection (Kwallet asks for a password but does not accept the
invitation password).

I have enabled Firewall access to ports etc. 

So what I would need is a how-to to that explains from scratch what
other things need to be enabled to run desktop sharing.

Also I cannot find the log file for the vnc server (none under
/var/log/) - where would that be located and under what name.

Oddly I can start vnc manually and tunnel into it via putty/tighvnc. The
logfile than is in my home directory.

Thanx
Herry

For the first 2 check the appendix on nvidia.com. There are switches for

Many drives have a small hole, where you can insert a piece of stiff

They sell those stiff wires in a nice convenient bent over shape.  You
just unbend it and stick in the hole with a little bit of force.

They can even multi-task as paperclips, but I rarely use them for that.

[opensuse] knetwork manager issues

[Gordon J. Holtslander]

Hi:

I have a laptop hp nx 7300.

If  I leave the system running for more than a few hours the networkmanager 
program quits running and can't be restarted.  I use it to manage the 
wireless networking on this system

If I stop the network manager program and restart, I am returned a message 
that the network manager is not running.  It does not appear to be possible 
to restart the network manager.

In order to re establish a wireless network connection I am forced to restart 
the computer.

Any way around this?  I have the wireless card setup to be managed as a 
regular user with networkmanager.

Understood, and I imagine very doable on SUSE. I haven't really tried

I replied with some comments that on a very busy system, a more frequent
rotation might be in order, eg with "weekly" or "size " instead
of "monthly". Also, where it is important (eg. for a corporation), an
admin might want more than 2 months-worth of login data, eg. "rotate 12"
for a whole year, or even "maxage " (the latter being how
syslog-ng is configured in SuSE).

Reload, actually, which simply suspends klogd's logging until syslog-ng
receives a HUP, then resumes klogd -- sending syslog-ng a HUP causes it
to re-read its config file. With a restart, both are stopped, then
restarted, with a possible loss of some log information.

My first guess is that somehow syslog-ng's internal data table has
become corrupted, resulting in the firewall log messages somehow going
to the current tty. I think that is going to be a very difficult bug to
track down. Suggest you simply restart, keep an eye on it, and see if
the problem returns.

BTW, are you still getting information logged to /var/log/firewall?

Not to throw water on the fire...

You can do a lot in a word processor such as 00o to create newsletter like 
documents and picture management.  One editor who did my user group newsletter 
used WordPerfect and claimed that one reason she did was that the graphics 
quality she could get in WordPerfect was much better than in Publisher.  
However, managing her document when it came back to adding and rearranging 
things was not friendly, box tags would be on page, the contents would be on 
another, proof changes were H...  Very inefficient.  Scribus is available, 
coming of age, and I really would like to see how it holds up again PageMaker 
as a DTP and it would be really neat if I could move over my PM65 documents to 
Scribus.

Did you try flowing text in this manner from one page to another? How 
about between non-contiguous pages? Can you mingle independent text 
flows within a given page?

All of these capabilities would be necessary for something such as 
magazine, journal, newspaper or sometimes even simple newsletter 
publishing.

[opensuse] Publisher Alternatives

[Kai Ponte]

Just for fun, I gave myself five minutes to see if I could create a
OOo document with two colums, which were "linked" like in Publisher.
In other words, when I type or resize one, the words "spill" over into
the other frame.

Sure enough, I did it in six minutes.

On a blank page, I clicked on Insert > Frame. I then resized my frame
appropriately. I then added a whole bunch of text. I then added a
picture as a second "column" to the page.

I then added a second frame and under the Options tab of the frame's
properties, I saw a "Previous Link" and "Next Link"  I then linked the
two frames and then resized the first. When I made the first frame
smaller, the text auto-migrated over to the second frame.

I'd now say OOo does 80% of what publisher did.

I only need to see if it will do Word Art and cool borders.

[opensuse] kernel update/patch crashes gnome-main-menu/gnome-panel

[Kevin Coonan, MD]

Please forgive me if this has been a topic before, but I could not
locate it in the bug reports or lists.

After applying a security patch from the openSuSE update site, I have
lost the use of the Gnome main menu and the Gnome panel crashes.  I am
using openSuSE 10.2 on x86 (Pentium mobile 1.8 GHz, 2 GB RAM, ThinkPad
T42).

This is sort of a work-stopper for me, and I would very much not have to
reinstall from scratch (again).  

Thanks for any fixes, helps, directions anyone can provide.

In this particular case, I try first to unmount the media and then to eject it.
You should also take a look at the output of ps. If you see a process that 
keeps on
your media, kill it.
Then if nothing at all works, I try to introduce a little needle in the small 
hole.
Generally it works but I dislike doing that...

The green one is for openSUSE-10.3. Unfortunately, we used splash screen where 
the exact OOo version was mentioned, so the older blue one is not longer

Not clear whether this is when burning or when reading, and which
applications you are having a problem with.

If it is a data CD try manually unmounting before ejecting.

It this fails this most likely means the device is still in use by the
application or a process of the application that you last accessed the
CD/DVD with. Close the application if possible. If the application has
crashed it is possible that the process accessing the device is still
running in the background. Use ps to find the process and kill it.

Thanks for your reply. As I said in the post, I ran "sax2 -r

that I could at least get my wide screen display functioning.
After installing the nvidia drivers, I activated the driver as
you stated above. The proprietary driver for 3D is working
fine. The problem is with the font rendering.



Did you try the nvidia setup utility (it comes with the drivers) ?

Its marked optional, thats why it does not get applied by default.

That opensuseupdater still warns in this case is likely a bug.

Live and learn, I guess:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WAV:

Audio CDs

Audio CDs do not use WAV as their sound format, using instead Red Book
audio. The commonality is that both audio CDs and WAV files have the audio
data encoded in PCM. WAV is a data file format for computer use that can't be
understood by CD players directly. To record WAV files to an Audio CD the file
headers must be stripped and the remaining PCM data written directly to the
disc as individual tracks with zero padding added to match the CD's sector
size.

I have dl'd mysql to local directory and will do a reinstall locally,

ok,

You can check it in /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf
And make sure that there's 'not filter(f_iptables...'
in this line:
filter f_console{ level(warn) and facility(kern) and not 
filter(f_iptables)
  or level(err) and not facility(authpriv); };
Restart syslog.

Do you mean even in 10.2?? We need to find the maintainer for that and
slap him on the head :-)

The only problem I ever had with syslog-ng's default setup went away
because I discovered a cron feature I thought was not available to an
ordinary user. However, without that feature, it still would have been
very easy to resolve the problem within syslog-ng, just by creating a
new filter and excluding my filter from another filter. With syslogd, I
think getting rid of all those log entries might well be next to impossible.

I do not even understand why syslogd is even still included in the
distribution, unless it is for die-hard admins who think anything that
can be understood by ordinary folk is evil :-)

ok. it most probably will not work to fast with Office and Visual

  This is typical of python not finding the correct library to import.
It should have installed into the directory(s) that contain Python's
libraries.  On my 10.0 system these are located in /usr/lib/python.  I'm
wondering what version of python that you are using, it might be
possible that you have have the file correctly installed, but are
invoking the wrong version of python.  Another thing is that you are one
directory up from your import directory when you are invoking this, try
copying the file down one level, or copying the library files up one
level, or better yet, copy the example files to a directory in
your /home/ and then you can blow it all away when you are done
without having to worry about any kind of corruption of the original
files.  I have a /home/Mike/Projects/Python directory where I am working
through a "learn to program python" book, from here I can find all of
python's normal library files, and the new library files that came on
disk with the book, as I localed them there,
i.e. /home/Mike/Projects/Python//

  HTH,

Using KVpnc, it will install the certificate from the server. 
Then make sure that the date and time between the client and the server is 
correct. Otherwise it won't be able to connect.
I've spent several hours because of the date differences :(

[opensuse] Import custom packages selection when installing opensuse 10.2

[Alessandro Ipe]

Hi,


I need to install opensuse 10.2 on several computers with the same packages 
selection. For SuSE 9.3, I just exported the packages selection in YaST 
(file.sel) after installing the first computer and imported that file during 
the installation of the others and it was very convenient. But it seems that 
the import/export functions for packages selection have disappeared in 
opensuse 10.2.

Is there some other simple way to do this ?

Note that autoYaST is not an option, because it would take me too much time to 
setup due to the fact that the computers (laptops and desktops) do not have 
similar hardware (CPU architecture, NIC, graphic card, HDs, partitions, 
et...).

I was wondering if it would be possible to add my custom packages selection in 
some file that the installation process would understand and just select it 
(modify/add some files in suse/setup/descr/ directory).


Many thanks,


Alessandro.

[opensuse] nVidia Video Card Advice Please

[Mike]

I just recently replaced my motherboard with a newer board
with PCIe support (AMD x2 Dual Core 5200+) and an integrated
nVidia 6100 video adapter. The integrated adapter works and I
was finally able to install the nVidia drivers for 3D support,
but it leaves a lot to be desired. First off, it wasn't even
recognized by OpenSUSE. It came up as a Vesa Framebuffer
adapter and I couldn't change it. I ran "sax2 -r -m 0=nv" to
get wide screen resolution from my monitor, then installed the
nvidia drivers.

It still shows up as a Vesa Framebuffer adapter even though
the nVidia drivers are loaded. Also, I am getting extremely
bad ghosting (shadowing) of my fonts which is especially
noticeable while typing on a white background. I've tried
adjusting the aliasing/anti-aliasing and changing to and from
sub-pixel hinting with varying hinting styles, but so far I
haven't come across the magic combination yet to get rid of
the lousy looking fonts.

I've got a MAG 22" wide screen LCD monitor and the setup with
my old motherboard worked perfectly for me with a nVidia
GeForce FX 5200 AGP card.

My question is this: Is there something I may be missing in
the setup of the integrated 6100 or should I just buy a
separate PCIe 16x adapter? Which nVidia adapter would you
folks recommend?  I don't have a whole lot to spend on it at
this point but would like something that works with 3D enabled
and renders the fonts like my old 5200 did.

I checked the HCL and found that the GeForce 7300LE PCIe is
supposed to work properly with 10.2. Are any of you using that
adapter and if so how is it working out for you?

Thanks very much for your help.

Mike

That file contains all the variables needed for /sbin/SuSEfirewall2,
which is the startup script, to set up the firewall. Except for a few
scripts, all the files in /etc/sysconfig only contain variables that
various start scripts need to set up the system. It is done this way
because there is no "one size fits all", especially with firewalls.

The proper approach is to do as Verner suggested, write a script in
/etc/init.d/ and link to it in the rc3.d and rc5.d directories.

There is a sample start script in /etc/init.d/skeleton. If you follow
the instructions in that, particularly those at the top pertaining to
services which must be running before the firewall is started and should
still be running when it is stopped, you can write a script that Yast's
system services (runlevel) configuration module will recognize. Then you
wouldn't have to create your own links, rather just write your script in
/etc/init.d/, run Yast and go to the runlevel module (Yast/services -->
System services (runlevel) ). In expert mode, find and highlight your
service name (eg. MyFirewall), enable it (if the script file is written
properly this will select the proper runlevels where it should start,
and also create the proper links in the correct rcN.d directories), and
start it. BTW, this is not SuSE-specific -- it is all part of the LSB.

It may not be too bad if you convert a finished page, but if you make 
corrections or changes, you will find that the yuckiness of the HTML 
increases exponentially :-)  You can get situations where the font of a 
heading changes, for instance, and you can't change it back - the reason is 
usually because OOo has inserted some markup of its own (the dreaded ) 
which you can't get at unless you look at the code view.  But if you have to 
do that, it's easier to use Quanta from the start.

Why? Sound in Windows' WAV files is encoded in the same way that a CD 
is: 44.1 kHz, stereo PCM. There's nothing that would be called 
compression. So unless you're among the oddball crowd who thinks they 
can here 22 kHz sounds, this is about as good as audio encoding ever 
needs to be.

You have to install either NetworkManager-openvpn-kde (only 10.3) or 
NetworkManager-openvpn-gnome. Afterwards nm-applet or KNetworkManager should

Well, I tried another howto, about adding TLS support to Postfix, which

Finally I combined some howto's and I got partial success.
One has to append the private key, the certificate and "Diffie-Hellman 
parameters". Each section has a blank line between them. And the last 
line is also a blank line. I did it this way :

cat server.key > server.keycrt
echo \ >> server.keycrt
cat server.crt >> server.keycrt
echo \ >> server.keycrt
openssl gendh 512 >> server.keycrt
The server.keycrt is the cert stunnel uses.
With partial success I mean I can connect if I don't check the client 
certificate at the server (verify = 2). I believe the server can't find 
the client-certificate, but I don't know why. Anyone knows how to see

Well, it is not readymade, but it will work. because anyone that uses
it, will quickly understand how it works:

1. One short afternoon to do it for linux:
http://www.rsnapshot.org/howto/1.2/rsnapshot-HOWTO.en.html

2. Another half day to add backup of your windows machine(s) to your
Linux based rsnapshot setup:
http://digg.com/linux_unix/rsnapshot_HowTo_backing_up_Windows_servers_onto_a_Linux_rsnapshot_install

3. this is the essential extract from my /etc/rsnaphsot.conf
###
### BACKUP POINTS / SCRIPTS ###
###

# LOCALHOST
backup  /home/eroloff/download/ grey/
backup  /home/eroloff/info/ grey/
backup  /home/eroloff/job/  grey/
backup  /home/eroloff/.thunderbird/ grey/
backup  /home/eroloff/digicam/  grey/

backup  rsync://192.168.1.101/eigene_dateien/   grey_win_eigene_dateien/

===remark===
/data/ and /eigene_dateien are what I save from my windows box to the
corresponding folders on my Linux connected usbdrive. The pathes are
given in cygwin notation and "eigene_dateien" is german for "my_files".
So, seen from an Windows-centric angle, in fact, I am rsyncing d:\data
and d:\Eigene Dateien to my linux connected usb_device.
On windows, I made sure that any user "ONLY" uses d:\data or d:\Eigene
Dateien\username to store her files.


Notes:
1.
I personally used cwrsync on my windows machine to have a working rsync
server without any additional cygwin things. Thats much quicker!
2.
Had I had access to theses things before doing it, it might have taken
much less time and hassle.
3. If you are not so much after backup and more looking for an easy sync
solution, I would recommend to use ex. Unison. I am successfully using
it to sync some folders between WinXP, Win Vista and Linux.

hope that helps

[opensuse] Wireless troubles in 10.2 installation

[Jos van Kan]

Until recently I have shied away from replacing my rock solid 9.3 system with
anything newfangled, but since support is probably going to stop in the
foreseeable future I decided to do a parallell installation of 10.2, just to see
if I would run into any trouble. The 10.2 distro I got from a DVD that was part
of a "Linux special" of C'T (a German computer magazine, also appearing in a
Dutch version in the Netherlands).

Everything went smoothly, but for a major glitch in the configuration of the
wifi card, that crippled the remainder of the installation (installing update
repositories etc), in short, everything that requires an internet connection.

I am the proud owner of a Belkin wifi card, that I use in 9.3 with ndiswrapper.
It was duly identified in 10.2 and provided with the bcm43xx driver which made
good sense to me, since the card has a Broadcom chip. But.

1. It said I had to download firmware before the installation could complete.
That was kind of hard, since I had no internet connection.
2. Yast configured it as eth1, which struck me as strange (I'd expect wlan0)
3. Yast did not hand me an opportunity to enter ESSID and encryption key, with
the result, that the wireless router was unreachable.

After the installation (semi-)completed I ran ifconfig but the card was not
listed. I entered essid and encryption key by hand using iwconfig and restarted
the network, but still no joy.

I rebooted 9.3 to look around at the Belkin site for firmware and found none. I
googled for "suse 10.2 bcm43xx firmware" and found the (surprise!) opensuse
site, that told a totally different story, viz, that I had to install
"bcm43xx-fwcutter" from the "installation disc" and run
"install_bcm43xx_firmware". That looked promising. The software appears to be,
apparently for legal reasons, on the "add-on CD", which btw was part of the DVD
the distro was on. Apparently the same legal reasons did not forbid that. :-)

What boggles my mind, is that Yast says I have to download the stuff where it is
on the DVD. (Probably should have checked the box Add from other sources, or
some such description only understandable by someone who gets there for the
umpteenth time) And that it cannot install it itself. I mean if the stuff is
there, what the heck. Ask the user, or do something intelligent.

Well, anyway, after I handcrafted the eth1 configuration file to include a
couple of "WIRELESS" parameters like WIRELESS, WIRELESS_ESSID and WIRELESS_KEY
and installed the online update directories I had basically a running system.

I hate to think what would have happened, had I been a newbie trying linux for
the first time. The problem is well known btw, as the 18700 google hits on "suse
10.2 bcm43xx firmware" testify. Among those a substantial amount consists of
newbies being left stranded in the desert.

The card does not run under knetworkmanager, but what else is new?

OK, then I'll simply delete the mysql-beta package (it's not quite
maintained anyway ;)) and perhaps put it somewhere else later. I never
liked the idea of projects grouping several unrelated (and sometimes
conflisting) packages like server:database...

Not sure whether this is the cause of Patrick's problem, we'll see.

if so, it may not work :(

there are multiple providers of libmysqlclient.so.15 in server:database
and PHP is NOT building against it because the buildservice aborts on
multiple choices... :(


have choice for libmysqlclient.so.15 needed by mysql-client:
mysql-beta-shared libmysqlclient15, have choice for
libmysqlclient.so.15(libmysqlclient_15) needed by mysql-client:
mysql-beta-shared libmysqlclient15

for this to work the user should:

1. install mysql from the server:database repo
2. install php5 from the server:php repository target
server_database_SUSE_Linux_10.1[1] which does not build because the
error above :-(


[1]http://software.opensuse.org/download/server:/php/server_database_SUSE_Linux_10.1

[opensuse] console 10 syslog messages are going to active tty

[18~Carlos E. R.]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1


Hi,

To my surprise, syslog messages that should go to tty10 console, are 
popping up at the cursor position of the active tty (tty5, for instance). 
I'm using syslog-ng, and the config file is dated 2006-10-20: ie, it has 
not been modified since last October.

So, either some update has broken it, or there is a bug somewhere. I'm 
witholding reseting the service in case somebody has some test idea.


[...]

Correction: those messages are not destined to to tty10 console; they are 
the firewall messages only, and only appear while I'm using that console 
if logged in, or in tty 10 if it is the current tty.

[opensuse] Connecting to OpenVPN server using NetworkManager

[Fajar Priyanto]

Hi all,
I've just setup an IPCop box with OpenVPN. All is done using Zerina addon.
After setting up the ACL for a client, Zerina provides a zip file containing:
fajar.p12
fajar-TO-IPCop.ovpn

From Zerina example, it uses MS Windows' openvpn client, whereas the above 
files are put into it's config directory and the connection can be initiate 
immediately.

How do I that with NetworkManager?
Thank you very much,

Not good. Did you update all the packages, inc. the client library and
the client programs (run rpm -qa '*mysql*'; rpm -q --changelog 
| head)? The client programs are in mysql-client.rpm, the library used
to be in mysql-shared.rpm, now it's in libmysqlclient15.rpm. The current
and 10.1 version of the library *should* be compatible, but if you mixed
them, then it *could* be the reason.

Anyway, on Factory x86_64 it works fine...

> reverted php5 to earlier version php5-5.1.2-29.25.6.x86_64.rpm

PHP shouldn't have any influence.

Re: [opensuse] Probably not important but

[Petr Klíma]

You've missed something called Cool'n'Quiet. In other words - everything
you read is correct, it's just power saving through frequency throttling.

/proc/cpuinfo reports CURRENT frequency, therefore if you load your
machine e.g. with creating .tar.bz2 archives of big directories, you
should imediately see frequency jumping up to the spec values.

...I have a range of machines running OpenSuSE10.2; The problem is
that I do not understand the output from "cat /proc/cpuinfo"
   On my office workstation, an AMDx2 3800+ it says I have 2x2GHz
processors which is what I expect.  On the studio machine, AMDx2 4600+
it says the two processors are 1GHz, while AMD assert they are 2.4GHz,
and measurement supports AMD over Linux.  On this laptop (Centrino) it
is reported as 600MHz, but I think it is 1.4GHz.  The AMD Athlon XP

My guess...

Xvnc is the VNC server process.  It has to be running for you to be able to
connect on http://host:5801 (unless you use some inetd magic to get it to
auto-start).  Basically, you have Xvnc running ready to accept connections
on http://host:5801.

Why is it using so much CPU?  I'd guess that you've got a screensaver
configured.  The screensaver program isn't intelligent enough to realise
that it's a VNC session and therefore doesn't need a screensaver, so it
detects that there has been no keyboard or mouse activity for a while
(unsurprising, since there are no connected clients), and starts running
the screensaver.  The Xvnc process has to respond to the screensaver
program's commands to draw things on its X desktop, and this is what is
taking all the CPU.

It could be other things, but this is my best guess.

Hi Gavin,

it has been happening on three completely different systems.
1. A 5 year old system that had win2K on it for 3 years and since then
SuSE 9.3 and all the following. Here the problem occur with OpenSUSE
10.2. It has an ASUS mobo with ATI Radion graphic card. 
2. A  2 year old system only had SuSE 10.0 that had the problem and now
has WinXP without any problems. It's a Gigabyte mobo with ATI Radion
graphic card. I noticed that intensive file access by Evolution caused a
systrem lockup many times. 
3. The latest 1 year old system showed the problem mainly with SUSE 10.0
and now with OpenSUSE 10.2. An identical system has SuSE 10.1, where the
problem has till now not occured. It is a Gigabyte GA-K8N-SLi mobo with
nVidia GeForce 7600 GS. 

I can't say for sure, but SUSE 10.1 Boxed Novell purchased version
seemed to be the most stable. It makes no sense, because the OpenSUSE
10.1 should be identical; or am I mistaken? I rule out HW however.

[opensuse] python-matplotlib

I installed the package from standard repo (openSUSE oss), but when I
try to run any of the examples I get:

$ cdparanoia -B

This will create a set of .wav files from your music CD. You can then
use K3B / "create audio CD project" to burn them to disk.

Cant we do that now in OOo for those not inclined to use text editors or

OOo is perfect for printing, sombody can export to html a document 
mainly done for printing. Using OOo as site generator is not a good idea.


If you want to generate a site, nowaday, without html, better install 
a CMS. A very small one is PmWiki (http://pmwiki.org)

Hello,
This problem is well known and is discussed on the nvidia forums :

http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?s=e7a0c7b6751c176fae127134c5e2cf1f&f=14 



It is known to happen when you have a TV connected at boot, this 
limits the framebuffer resolution

at 800x600. So delete any vga= at boot and it should work.

Michel.

That's pretty odd, 10.2 found my card reader (Dell 9400) and it all
works except XD cards.  SD and all the rest work, but XD just sits
there.  If I kill off hal I can mount an XD card manually (as root).

Of course this was not a major issue till I got a Olimpus camera
that uses --- you guessed it, and XD card.
