Install Distro. Note I first copied the iso to the Desktop using K3B 'Only

$ qemu -hda vdisk.img -cdrom /path/to/distro.iso -boot d -m 384

Run Distro.
$ qemu vdisk.img -m 384

However when I tried a virtual install of 10.3A4 X86_64 in 10.3A4 X86_64 I got

$ qemu-system-x86_64 -hda vdisk.img -cdrom /path/to/distro.iso -boot d

With your virtual disk created, load the guest operating system into it. The

addition to populating the virtual disk with the CD-ROM ISO image, you must 
boot the image when it's done.

You'll want to install the new nfs-client package (subpackage of nfs-utils).
Since util-linux is dropping mount.nfs all the nfs-client support is moving
over to the nfs-utils package. The package should be available in
factory with the next sync.

Ah, I see. But it is not broken, that is the standard.

When mail is pgp signed, the [-][-][ ] sequence is changed to

with the pgp encription/signing. It is the client side who has to be 
clever enough to decode that sequence correctly - and pine does, I have no

The pgp block is inserted in the middle, and only the last one is good

Thus, it is Rick's mail, made with thunderbird 2.0.0 which is at fault. 
The second dash sequence could have been added by the list server when

I don't think so, as I have not observed that in the past.  What you
are probably seeing on your end is kmail's editor stripping
end-of-line spaces and/or only recognizing the *last* 2-dash+space sig
indicator.  To test, you would need to open the message with an editor
you *knew* did not strip end-of-line white space, before kmail reads
it, ie: pico, nano, joe, jed ...

I have observed tofu with included quoted signatures that did include
the space after the double dash.  And the quoted signature block from
me as you present does *not* include the trailing space

Hi Darryl,

When I encountered the 'dash-dash-space' problem in the Mozilla suite, then 
TBird, it was caused by the difference in handling of plain text 
vs. format: text-flowed.

Plain text is hard wrapped (a new line marker inserted after, say, each 72 
characters) whereas format: text-flowed allows receiving *clients* to 
dynamically insert spaces in streams of text as required to soft wrap lines 
which match the characteristics of the display.

I switched to KMail and the problem went away. ;-)

regards,

Carl

P.S. to Rick: Your previous post did have the correct --  sig marker, so 
whatever you did appears to be working. Congratulations! I don't regret 
switching to KMail... it's my favorite client now, in fact... but I probably 
wouldn't have switched if the fix you've found had been available then.

regards,

Carl

Ever since I upgraded my 10.2 box to KDE 3.5.7 I have been having
trouble with the soundserver, it seems to only want to work for the
first person that uses the computer, then during log out the KDE Crash
handler comes up and says that the soundserver has crashed.  After
that it does not work until I restart the computer, I tried just
restarting X but that didn't make a difference.  I was able to get the
soundserver to crash by myself while it was not working by tested the
sound though the KDE  control center.

My backtraces is of no good because I installed it via RPM and this is
all that it says

 This backtrace appears to be of no use.
  This is probably because your packages are built in a way which
 prevents creation of proper backtraces, or the stack frame was
 seriously corrupted in the crash.

Recompiling kernel is easy if all you want is newer version with same

kernel is built for new 10.3 release that has more depending changes. 
I don't follow this so I can't say what else has to be updated. 

 Where can I install updates to ALSA?  Is there a patch RPG somewhere
 that will update it?  Are there directions somewhere that are simple
 enough for a Windows software developer to follow?

The ALSA web page is:
  http://www.alsa-project.org/
the unofficial wiki is:
  http://alsa.opensrc.org/
You can check by yourself is it easy enough. 

   One idea would be to try 10.3 alpha 4. It has new kernel.

 Is it possible to leave 10.2 installed and switch between them? 

Yes. 
Linux grew up as second installed OS and multiboot is very well developed and 
stable feature. Guys that use proprietary solutions because have many better 
ways to use that money. 

 I wouldn't mind trying a new kernel if there's an easy way to return to
 what I now have.  

It is easy for kernel that have different version strings. 
All that has to be done is to add new kernel and initrd 
to /boot/grub/menu.lst. Mimic one of linux entries that already exist with 
vmlinuzversion_string and initrdversion_string replacing default vmlinuz 
and initrd, and save changes. On next boot you will have new entries on boot 
screen. 

 It's annoying not to have sound, but everything else 
 is working very well indeed, and it appears that 10.3 will solve the

[opensuse] Mad Issue

2007-06-10 Thread Kai Ponte
I fired up K3b (1.0.1) today to copy a DVD and was welcomed with the
message that I don't have Mad libraries installed. Now, I'm not making
a CD from MP3 files yet but I may in the future.

I then fired up SMART and checked for MAD and saw that I do have mad
installed at /usr/lib/libmad.so.0 and /usr/lib/libmad.so.0.2.1

Is there something else I should check or make one of those dynamic
link thingys?

 x-ms-wmp should be supported from mplayerplug-in but you need a
 compatible player. AFAIK MPlayer is able to play that (I'm not sure if
 only with the w32libs or native though).



Yes, windows media player is well-supported under mplayer and the

[opensuse] DVD Building - Three Questions

2007-06-10 Thread Kai Ponte
This is a three part question.

I want to build DVD's using my new laptop using the tools available.
First, what do you all use for DVD creation. By that, I mean when you
author DVD's from home videos or from downloaded content.


Second, I am trying to use qdvdauthor. Before I ask on the generic
qdvd forum, i want to see if there is a suse-specific issue.
 When I go to edit the video (clicking on the video added) it goes in
and  starts setting up chapters, then exits with a segmentation
fault.

I have qdvdauthor 0.1.5, dvdauthor0.6.14.0, mplayer 1.0rc1try2-2 as
well as  mencoder 1.0rc1-4



Third, I tried to download and install KDE DVD Wizard.

http://dvdauthorwizard.sourceforge.net/view.php/page/Voorpagina

However, it comes with the instructions to run some .kmdr file, which
is an xml file. Any ideas how to get this to work? I tried to install
kommander, thinking it would run the file, but running the kommander
line from the CLI (ugh!) gives me command not found. (Yet it shows up
in SMART and YaST.)

[opensuse] strange difference in up- and downloading from sambaserver

2007-06-10 Thread Leen de Braal
Hi all,

I have one server (Suse10.0) that has a great difference in speed when
transferring data up or down a samba-share.

Copying an iso-file (650MB) to the sambaserver is 10 times faster than
getting it back to the PC. Since most traffic is getting data from the
server, this poses rather a problem, users are complainig about it.
This happens with WinXP clients and also when I do this with my 10.1
laptop. When i do scp with my laptop on the same iso-file, I still have a
diff of a factor 6. Not as much as when I use smb, but still too much to
be good.
Somebody have any idea where I have to start looking, and what tools to
use for this? I already did the documented tweaks on smb.conf with socket
options, this does not help. I do not directly suspect samba, althoug here
it is the worst, because the speed-diff is also there with scp.

If the notebook got nicked, the thief only sees a free-and-open O.S.
And even *if* he can log in, as root, he can not decipher anything
without the token and the knowledge of it's pin-code.

Having said this, do you access you data from linux/bsd-only machines?
If so, (and the sensitive data is not to much..) why not put that part
of your data on an encrypted usb-stick?

If you're not running Firefox 2.0.0.4, then get it.

... also, go back into cups... use the 

SUSE == Utilities == Printing == Printing Manager

... as administrator (use the root password) and set the default

   6. deleted the entry for the scanner and clicked Finish
   7. shut down YaST
   8. re-connected the scanner
   9. started YaST again
  10. gave it the root password
  11. invoked the scanner screen again
  12. YaST detected the scanner




At this point if the correct scanner is selected (I don't recall you
mentioning the brand/model) 



It's a Canon CanoScan LiDE30

just click on finish. 



Actually, the instructions on the left say To set up a new scanner, 
choose the scanner from the list of detected scanners and press 
*Edit* which is why I did just that.



And as it has been
suggested by someone else check that you don't have the permissions set
to strict in /etc/sysconfig/security. 



I don't.


Also check /etc/sane.d/dll.conf
and make sure you model is uncommented (remove the # character from the
start of the line).
  



Yes, checked that, too.

I'll look into that if you really think missing firmware updates would 
be able to cause the inability of normal users to see the scanner.  But 
remember, SuSE recognizes the scanner perfectly, and I can scan 
documents with it flawlessly, *as long as I am logged in as root*.

Third, I tried to download and install KDE DVD Wizard.

kommander, thinking it would run the file, but running the kommander
line from the CLI (ugh!) gives me command not found. (Yet it shows up
in SMART and YaST.)

Personally, I like to use the nice little entry in the KDE menu to start
it, but you'd need to install it using an RPM[0] that includes the
desktop file so you can. However, it's also possible to use the command
line by using the command:

kmdr-executor /opt/kde3/bin/DVDAuthorWizard.kmdr

That's assuming that the kmdr script is installed in /opt/kde3/bin .

[opensuse] Karamba SuperKaramba Install

2007-06-10 Thread Andrew Syrewicze
Hello list, 

I've been looking to install superkaramba on my opensuse laptop system, but 
have been unable to find it in the repositories. I have added the KDE sources 
from the opensuse.org website, but i am still unable to locate it within 
Yast. 

Also, when my software installation sources went to sync with ZENworks, it 
timed out and didn't sync. I'm new to Suse, and i'm wondering. Is this a 
problem???

Thanks in advance.

  No. Tough, if I would have to troubleshoot configuration made while I was
  logged in as root user, I would probably try to remove scanner
  configuration logged in as root, remove sane package, than reboot [1] log
  in as user and configure scanner as you described. That will be complete
  reversal of procedure, but even than it is not sure that all old
  configuration files are removed.

 OK, I went through all of those steps, just as you instructed (including
 the reboot), and I still cannot see the scanner as a normal user. 

  Have you checked your default permissions as Carlos suggested in
   /etc/sysconfig/security
  default is PERMISSION_SECURITY=easy local

 Yes, they're left at the defaults.

OK.
 
After long time, and your post, I decided to see how to install my very old 
parallel scanner and had the same problem as you. 

I was able to solve it changing access permissions on device file from 640 to 
666, but it was lost after reboot, so I looked udev rules and changed them.  

For the usb devices look in 
 /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev-default.rules 
section
 # misc devices
for line
 KERNEL==usbscanner*,  MODE=644
and change to
 KERNEL==usbscanner*,  MODE=666 
or 
 KERNEL==usbscanner*,  GROUP=scanner, MODE=666 

First will allow anybody that has account on computer to use scanner, and 
second only to those that belong to group scanner. That group you can add 
using YaST, and add all users that need access to scanner in that group. 
I would create group scanner first and than go and install scanner. 

My assumption, in another post, about device creation in this particular case 
seems to be wrong, but to know that I need someone to test that change is 
really working.

Re: [opensuse] How can I change the default printer for Firefox

 Hi,

 I change, using cups, the default printer for the user, but Firefox
 still wants to use the previous default printer. How do I convince
 Firefox to change to the real default printer instead of his own idea
 of what should be the default printer?

If you want to parse through Kprinter, these are the hints I give to my 
students on how to setup printing in Firefox:

 1.1.To send print jobs through Kprinter, enter as URL “about:config”, 
then change the entry “print.postscript.print_command”, 
“print.print_command” and 
“print.printer_Postscript/default.print_command” to Value: “kprinter”. 
When printing select “PostScript/default” as “Printer Name”.

 1.2.To prevent cropping of header and footer when printing, change “Gap 
from edge to Margin” to 0.25 inches in all sides in Printer / 
Properties in the Print window. 
(this was just a bonus hint ;)

Well its good you don't directly suspect samba, because you

How is it connected to the other machines?  In house network?
Wide area network (internet)?

This sounds more like a network problem than a samba

  Without having looked at the code: What exactly is the problem?
  (And: don't expect IE to understand max-width [don't know about

 The page consists of two floating columns, the bigger one has got a
 left margin that corresponds with the width of the left column. When
 specifying a max width for the footer, the text is centered within
 the area specified by max-width and not within the parent div.

Sounds like you want to use a nested div. Not nice, but should 
work ;-)  (and IE will simply ignore it, which isn't a real problem)

 Search Box:
Apropos search box: It seems it has a hardcoded height: which
is unfortune for people who have a very large font size.
  
   Without the fixed height, I do not see a way to make the round
   corners work in IE (at least not in IE 5.x)... .
 
  Then define the fixed height for IE only please ;-)

 Sigh, this will be a lot of work - the search box code needs to be
 rewritten completely. I will see what I can do.

It's perfect now - thanks!

  Now to the problems this change discovered in combination with
  large font size - see screenshot on
  www.cboltz.de/tmp/opensuse-disco.png ;-)

 Oh, come on ;-) - with a font-size that big the page is unusable
 anyway.

*g*
I know, but usually testing with extremes makes things better for the 
normal usecases - and speeds up finding bugs a lot ;-)

  - on small screens there will be an openSUSE Disco ;-))
    because Discover it is cut off
  - the search box and the Go button are also cut off

 Sure - they just don't fit in the parent element box anymore ;-).

 OK, defining the left/right margins in px 

Much better, thanks!

 and the height in em helped a lot. 

I'm not sure if defining the height in em was a good idea. Now the green 
box is too heigh on large font sizes.

Or fix it the other way round and allow line wraps in the top menu 
again. Then the height will be OK and the top menu is usable with all 
font sizes ;-)

Choose whatever you want...

 Nevertheless, when enlarging the font to a certain extend you 
 will reach a point where the search box and/or the slogan won't fix
 anymore.

I know ;-)

  - OTOH, there's enough whitespace (to be exact: greenspace ;-)
  unused around these elements - so there's no real need to cut them
  off
 
  - The Article / Discussion / ... bar only uses the half width,
  causing too much unneeded linebreaks

 Should be fixed by now.

Not really - now the language dropdown is cut off at the left even at 
small font sizes :-(
Screenshot: http://www.cboltz.de/tmp/opensuse-menu.png

Proposal: make the dropdown float:right instead of assigning a column 
width of xx % .

  OK, so div is reserved as freestyle element ;-) in the hope that
  nearly nobody uses it...

 Nobody should in a wiki - why? And I wouldn't call it freestyle - it
 is just the bare element with no styles attached to it.

... and the possibility to add style=... ;-)
However, I agree that it shouldn't be used.

  Hmm, just curious: Special:Allpages has no borders at the table,
  Tagformatting has borders. So there *must* be a difference
  somewhere...

 ==lt;tablegt;lt;captiongt;lt;trgt;lt;tdgt;lt;thgt;==
 {| border=1 width=50%

 ;-)

What about 
{| class=nopadding
and
.nopadding td { ... }
? ;-)

  Another thing that was mentioned some time ago, but obviously got
  lost: The grey boxes should use a slightly darker grey. The current
  one is nearly invisible on white (especially on laptop displays).

 Not forgotten, but postponed. Anyway, it's a bit darker now
 ( s/F0F0F0/E0E0E0/ )

My laptop display likes it ;-)
