We discussed Ekiga on the list a while back... about how to get it linked up with FreeCall. I like Ekiga because you can link it to any VOIP provider that provides you their SIP details - compared to Skype where you are at the mercy of their availability, their call rates, and their call quality. With SUSE, Ekiga almost just works... installing is easy if you pull it from the repositories. Adding in the VOIP provider is also quite easy.. but it's not automagic... you do need set up an account, but doing that is no more difficult than adding an account to Pidgin. It would be nice if Ekiga could connect into the Skype network so you could chat with other Skype users... but... not likely to happen with Skypes closed model. I don't use a proxy, but I do have a firewall, and part of the installation and setup for Ekiga is to find the best way out from your computer to the internet. It seems to do a good job of this ß at least on the Linux side. I tried to get it working in Windows, but had enough issues that we gave up on it.

My Suse 9.3 version burned up to 4.7 GB with no problem. Is there a setting I need to change? Many thanks, Jim F I think someone needs to put a FAQ somewhere, a 4.7Gb DVD holds about 4.3Bb data. One could try overburning, but this is not a recommendable approach. There apparently is an issue with images close to 4Gb and the implementation of isofs as implemented in Linux. 10.2 uses a different set of tools to 9.3 for CD/DVD burning. K3B was originally designed to work with the older tools and does not always interact well with the current tools when burning. I tend to use K3B to build an ISO image but do any burning from the command line nowadays (curiously once I got used to it I find it a bit easier). Under 9.3 DVD burning was a little less twitchy about media types than the current tools. Entering the following at command line is usually reliable both as a test, and burning an extant image. growisofs -dvd-compat -Z dvd device=iso image This variant could be tried... growisofs -dvd-compat -overburn -Z dvd device=iso image but I do not know whether it would work. 9.3 was less twitchy. I am trying to burn iso images just over 5.5gb in size. This was no problem in 9.3. Is there a reason the newer version of k3b in 10.2 works differently? I thought udf file format was udf file format, same for all. Is there an update for k3b perhaps? Sorry, thats just over 4.5gb (not 5.5). JF If you read the man pages for mkisofs it explicitly stated that udf support is alpha, wastes space, and does not implement all expected features. K3B is a GUI front end for the command line utilities. 10.2 uses mkisofs to create iso images, wodim for burning CD stuff (the cdrecord command links to wodim) and growisofs is now the primary burning tool for DVD. cdrecord in its original form did not burn DVDs without patching (the author charged for his DVD code, but there was another patch available). growisofs has evolved since 9.3 came out, and it is somewhat more difficult to accidentally burn DVDs into fancy coasters as a consequence. Unfortunately, this tends to mean that it is a little more difficult to do some of things it did by default before (one has to explicitly force some behaviours, so you can try and make your own coasters if you really want to :-) ). The issues with original tools seems to be a mixture of both personal politics and technology, which is a shame... - -- == I have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my telephone.

[opensuse] lmtp socket - permission denied / Postfix + Cyrus + LDAP.
I'm on opensuse 10.1.
I read the mailing list and noticed many people with the same
problem. Cyrus and Postfix are on the same machine.
Postfix cannot connect to the ltmp socket and deliver mail to Cyrus,
so it can then deliver to users:

---
user cyrus is cyrus.mail
user postfix is postfix.postfix
---
I tried to stop apparmor, but even so it didn't work, with the same
message. I went thru the apparmor profiles and there was nothing about
the postfix user/group neither the executable or that particular
diretory. The apparmor profiles are the same from default install, and
all mentioned software are from the 10.1 repositories.
When I add the postfix user to the mail group, it works ok. But I
don't want to do that, it might cause some misbehavior(?), I would
like a different more correct approach, say to change apparmor
config to let the postfix user or the executable from postfix which
tries to use that socket to do so. What do you think would be more
appropriated?

That was a known bug in 1.2. It was fixed in 1.3 in that you no longer got the sound device problem error. In its place, (if you were unlucky) you got a whole new problem that forced you to restart Skype. After an undetermined and variable length or time that Skype had been running and idle and you received or tried to place a call it would peg your CPU at 100% and you would connect to a conversation that would start and stop. Restart Skype and reconnect and it would be fine for the entire length of the call. This was fixed in 1.4.0.74, and now... well you don't need to restart all the time... but there is a nice new known bug (among many) where the volume ranges up and down during the conversation.

Hi all, i'm experiencing a problem with a software raid1 on opensuse10.0. I replaced one disk (sdb).

[opensuse] NFS performance problem (lockd ?) in Suse 10.1
Hello. We have a NFS server which used to run Suse 9.1. Since it was upgraded to Suse 10.1, it is _very_ slow (nearly unusable for some things). In particular loging in with KDE in a client PC can take a long time. I have measured 5 minutes(!) from entering the password to the desktop appearing instead of the more usual 15-20 seconds. I now suspect that the problem is with locks since it doesn't seem to affect everything in the same way. Some info about our environment: - the server is a dual processor running kernel 2.6.16.27-0.9-smp in 64 bit mode. - the server has 4 SATA disks, configured in 2 RAID-1 arrays, each one with one ext3 file system. These file systems are the ones being exported. - the options in the /etc/exports file are (rw,sync) - there are some tens of clients with various versions of Suse Linux (from 10.0 to 10.2). In particular 2 classrooms with 16 computers each. When 16 students login at the same time, it takes minutes for kde to start (waiting for file locks ?). - the network between the server and many of the clients (including those 2 classrooms) is gigabit ethernet. - in a client: # cat /proc/mounts server:/fs /fs nfs rw,v3,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,hard,tcp,lock,addr=server 0 0 # netstat -in Kernel Interface table Iface MTU Met RX-OK RX-ERR RX-DRP RX-OVR TX-OK TX-ERR TX-DRP TX-OVR Flg eth1 1500 0 173408 0 0 0 95072 0 0 0 BMNRU - in the server # netstat -in Kernel Interface table Iface MTU Met RX-OK RX-ERR RX-DRP RX-OVR TX-OK TX-ERR TX-DRP TX-OVR Flg eth0 1500 0514961025 0 0 0736413957 0 0 0 BMRU - so, there are no network errors, NFS v3 over tcp is being used and read and write sizes are 32KB. Two questions: 1 - Is someone using a Suse 10.1 as a NFS server without problems ? Do you have a comparable number of clients ? Are you using a SMP kernel ? 2 - Any suggestions about what could be the problem ? I tried several things to diagnose the problem: 1 - booting again in 9.1 solves the problem. This points strongly to some problem with 10.1, not a network problem or something outside the server. 2 - we had a problem with quotas not working in 9.1, so I tried to turn off quotas in 10.1, to see if that was the cause. No change. 3 - I wrote a simple script to test the NFS speed (just some reads and writes). There was some difference, but not dramatic (10.1 was maybe 1.5x slower than 9.1, not 10x slower). As I have several servers which are not currently very busy I setup some users that differ only in which server they are using (9.3, 10.1 or 10.2). With both 10.1 and 10.2 I was able to recreate the problem. Loging from 4 PCs at the same time it took 1:30 or 1:40 for KDE to start instead of 16 to 20 seconds it took using the 9.3 server. I have just repeated those tests and I got consistent results. The 4 clients PCs are running Suse 10.0. The options used in the mount are the same: s10.1:/home/s10.1/d1 /home/s10.1/d1 nfs rw,v3,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,hard,tcp,lock,addr=s10.1 0 0 s10.2:/home/s10.2/d1 /home/s10.2/d1 nfs rw,v3,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,hard,tcp,lock,addr=s10.2 0 0 s9.3:/home/s9.3/d1 /home/s9.3/d1 nfs rw,v3,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,hard,tcp,lock,addr=s9.3 0 0 Thanks in advance -- http://www.mat.uc.pt/~rps/ .pt is Portugal| `Whom the gods love die young'-Menander (342-292 BC) Europe |Villeneuve 50-82, Toivonen 56-86, Senna 60-94 - End forwarded message - -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[opensuse] kernel building and make xconfig
I was just reading in the SuSE Admin Guide for 9.1 about the kernel compiling procedure. I read something that caught my attention because I didn't notice it before and I don't understand it. In section 10.3.3 it says As the configuration with make xconfig is not as well maintained as the other configuration possibilites, run the command make oldconfig after using this configuration method. Can anyone explain this? What is missing from xconfig and what does the make oldconfig do to correct this? I tried to find a more recent manual or howto that covers kernel building but I don't find any at http://www.opensuse.org. Can anyone please tell me where I can find some current instruction on kernel building? I also noticed in my 9.1 book, the method to use before configuring the kernel is zcat /proc/config.gz .config make oldconfig I noticed that make cloneconfig from earlier instructions still works but it is not mentioned in the 9.1 instructions. Are the results different? Damon Register -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[opensuse] Upgrade from 10.0? To what?
Now is a good time to consider upgrading my OS. Looking for some advice. 1) I am happily running Suse Linux 10.0 with no problems. So, should I even bother upgrading? Some associated software seems to have been nicely upgraded since the versions distributed with 10.0, e.g., wine. 2) If so, to what version? 10.2 seems the most recent, but every version seems to have its specific problems. 3) I don't mind paying to help support the continued development of Suse Linux, so should I upgrade to Novell Suse or switch to openSuse? Actually, I can't really tell what the equivalent version of Novell SLED is. They just refer to it as 10. Comments appreciated. Best, dslice -- Dennis E.

Re: [opensuse] Upgrade from 10.0? To what?
I upgraded a 9.3 to 10.0 due to the end of support. Using apt it went all good (except postfix was broken afterwards). But if you want to switch to 10.3 directly, how do you do it? Isn't it necessary to go to 10.1 and 10.2, first? That's what made me to stay with 10.0 as long as there will be security updates. I had 10.1 on my desktop and it was driving me crazy so I'll keep it away... After 10.0 (which isn't a big difference to a 9.3) there are some changes which I don't know how they will become to effect after upgrading. For example the apache isn't 2.0.x any longer and will be 2.2.x. You will have to read the changelogs before.Maybe the apache people did some changes in configs? There were some other big changes in versions, so be aware. All said is useless if you are goning to set up a clean system. If that's what you want just install 10.2 and smart. Will be an easy upgrade, like my try from 9.3 to 10.0. J. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

hello, recently been testing with identically configured opensuse 10.1 and 10.2 boxes. the 10.1 box works fine. the 10.2 box produces debug output (my guess), by constantly telling me the gre packet numbers it receives in /var/log/messages no matter if /etc/pptpd.conf has the debug line commented out or not # 10.2-box Linux test10-2 2.6.18.8-0.3-default #1 SMP Tue Apr 17 08:42:35 UTC 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux ppp-2.4.4-24 pptpd-1.3.0-25 # 10.1-box Linux test10-1 2.6.16.27-0.9-default #1 Tue Feb 13 09:35:18 UTC 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux ppp-2.4.3-31 pptpd-1.2.3-10 if im not mistaken, opensuse 10.2 just recently updated their pptpd package, due to some gre-expoit stuff or something, so maybe the devs forgot to disable the debuggingmode or something like that? any hints? thanks and cheers. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

But if you want to switch to 10.3 directly, how do you do it? Isn't it necessary to go to 10.1 and 10.2, first? That's what made me to stay with 10.0 as long as there will be security updates. I had 10.1 on my desktop and it was driving me crazy so I'll keep it away... After 10.0 (which isn't a big difference to a 9.3) there are some changes which I don't know how they will become to effect after upgrading. For example the apache isn't 2.0.x any longer and will be 2.2.x. You will have to read the changelogs before.Maybe the apache people did some changes in configs? There were some other big changes in versions, so be aware. All said is useless if you are goning to set up a clean system. If that's what you want just install 10.2 and smart. Will be an easy upgrade, like my try from 9.3 to 10.0. J. === If you are going to do anything beyond your 10.0, you really should do a fresh install. So many things have changed, it's quite possible an attempt at upgrading will lead to a clean install anyway. If you don't mind wasting the time, I suppose you could try, but to save yourself some time and headache, do a fresh install. If you go in steps, 10.1 or are planning that, just stop at 10.1! As many bad things as 10.1 introduced, I think 10.2 was worse. If you've followed the emails here, you already know that. As others have suggested, wait for 10.3 to see if they've fixed anything or have just continued to make it worse, then decide.

When I called azureus from a text terminal, it just responded with Cannot find java virtual machine, aborting.. Then I installed java-1_5_0-sun-plugin. Yast sad it needed java-1_5_0-sun, so it seemed not to be installed. Installed it again. Now, Java works as mozilla plugin, but nothing changed with respect to azureus. Tried some tricks I found on the web such as adding directories to the PATH, but all I got was a segmentation fault, so I changed that back. Deinstalling and installing java-1_5_0-sun, java-1_5_0-sun-plugin and azureus didn't change anything.

[opensuse] Can't print in 10.2
I don't print much, so have no idea when this started other than I've done some package installations and some updates since. It used to work fine, and I don't remember doing anything that should have had anything to do with printing. Every time I try to print, the job goes into that print queue, and never comes out. I look in KJobViewer, and even after changing the priority to 100 and selecting move to printer, it just sits there. I have only one printer, a PS LaserJet 4 on ethernet, the only one shown by YaST2. SeaMonkey thinks there's also a CUPS printer, which is what it defaults to. KPdf defaults to the LaserJet, but its jobs get stuck in queue too, e.g. at 223kb and 0 pages. How do I get print jobs to go directly to the only printer instead of stuck in queue? OS/2 prints to this printer with no delay. -- Respect everyone. I Peter 2:17 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.

[opensuse-wiki] BUY IT
Hey Guys, There is no link to the buy it choice on the get and install link and the Boxed version link is a little subdued. Could we \ should we make this link a little more central to the acquiring it process? Selling the idea of buying installation support is a good idea, no? I bring this up after reading today's education.zdnet.com and it doesn't mentioned as a choice for acquisition. thanks for all you do. -- James Tremblay Director of Technology Newmarket School District Newmarket,NH http://en.opensuse.org/Education let's make a difference - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
