Ok, so eth1 is up (ignore the ifup stuff, Networkmanger manages that) -
halfway there.

If I am not mistaken NetworkManager does not do Ad-Hoc - anyone else
have some input?

In 10.2 you can only add it to the favorites (by draggin), in 10.3 you
can add to the System section by dragging.

Well, after giving up for a while, during which time my laptop suspended
itself to disk, I came back intending to keep trying.

When I went to restart my ethernet connection (it never reconnects by
itself, I always have to tell it to reconnect), there on the
KNetworkManager menu were three wireless networks in range, among which
was my own Grotto!  It asked for the passphrase, which I gave it, and it
connected immediately.

Strangely enough (according to what I've understood from Google),
KWiFiManager still doesn't work.  But it seems I don't need it now.  The
normal network manager did just fine on its own.

Hans van der Merwe, thank you so much for your help!  I appears ipw3945d
was all I needed, although it took several hours and a suspension for
the computer to figure out that it was working :-).

Re: [opensuse] cloning the whole system from internet

[Johannes Nohl]

let's say i have 1 running suse 10.0 server on the colocation somewhere.
Then i have another server which has duplicate hardware specification at
my office. Is it possible to clone the running server to the one at my
office?


Well, I did something like this two monthes ago with 9.3. But I didn't
do it like an exact copy. That was my way:

First, install on the new system a "minimal" suse 9.3, get the list of
installed rpms on the old system (except kernel stuff), install all
from the list on the new one (because the list was sorted a-z I had to
turn off dependency checks).

Then I just gzip/tar'ed /etc /home /var (I left some things out like
log files) downloaded them and untar'ed it on the new system. Then
reboot the new system.

I't worked for my purposes (I wanted to test upgrade to 10.0 with apt
[worked fine]) but I noticed some wired / lost data within mysql. You
have to modify the network settings on the new system if you don't
replace the old. There were other problems I cant remember.

This wans't a "clone" but a a "copy". I wouldn't recommend for
production use but for testing it's fine.

That only gives access to teh "Applications" tab.  The new SUSE menu -
which I relaly like - gives five tabs: Favorites, History, Computer,
Applications and Leave.

The "Applications" tab is sort of like the older KMenu.

The "Favorites" tab has iems you can add by right clicking and
selecting "add to favorites"

It seems that some processes "hold" the ejection of your CD ROM unit.
What you can do is an:

lsof -i -P -n | grep "/dev/hdx" 

or 

lsof -i -P -n | grep "/media/WHEREYOURCDROMISMOUNTED" 

This will give you the list of processes that hold your CD.

Good luck !

Well, I assumed that he wanted to do a backup only. Of course you can 
not unzip a compressed disc image which is bigger than your hdd.

Do you run sendmail as another user than root? If so... that user must
have access to write to these files.

Also you probably have to configure "confDONT_BLAME_SENDMAIL" in your

Ah, OK - so you're actually using *sendmail*. it's been a few years, but as a
previous poster pointed out, you can force sendmail to honor the .forward
files, though clearly it's not happy about it.

FWIW, postfix still works fine with .forward files, it's a drop-in replacement
for sendmail, and it's also the default MTA in suse, so I'm curious how you
ended up with sendmail...

[opensuse] modem not responding

[Paul Ollion]

Hello all
I cannot use the modem on my laptop. wit OpenSuse 10.2

The cpu Is an Intel Centrino 1.7 Ghz. with 2048 K cache.
here is the output of the lspci -v command about the modem : 

:00:1f.6 Modem: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) 
AC'97 Modem Controller (rev 03) (prog-if 00 [Generic])
Subsystem: QUANTA Computer Inc: Unknown device 6601
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 0, IRQ 11
I/O ports at 2400 [size=256][disabled]
I/O ports at 2000 [size=128][disabled]
Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2

This same  modem works under SuSE 9.3 but the I/O ports are not said to be 
disabled by lspci.
I went to the support site and was instructed to use the setserial comand, but 
it did not change anything. Consulted lots of archives, but found nothing 
relevant.
How can I enable these ports ? Is there anything I should download to patch ? 
I cannot download many things, since I am on a slow dialup connection.

However I could install OpenSuse 10.2 on another machine with an external 
modem and it worked.



could you help me for this one, please  ?
Paul.

It could be a corner case - perhaps your particular hardware and/or system
config is different from the one where I saw the problem.

Set it up not to use Knetworkmanager.  That way you can have it
be set up at boot time.

Now KWiFiManager shows "Interface eth1" in the titlebar, and a laptop
with bargraph, but "AccessPoint: N/A" in the status area.  I click on
Scan for Networks, and get a window with the rows

Network Name | Mode| Quality | WEP

XP sees 6 other nets in range.  For my router, above looks ok to me
except that WEP is actually WPA, and Mode is actually ad-hoc, though
yast forced me to lie and say Managed in order to give a passphrase.

The configuration editor button still asks for root password, then
returns to the main window with no message or error.

[opensuse] Bug? - Address book "type" removed from KDE kontact in an Opensuse 10.2 std update...

[Per-Olov Sjöholm]

Hi

Note that the below works perfect i SLED 10, and SLED 10 with SP1 and used to 
work well in OpenSUSE 10.2. Maybe OpenSUSE has dropped this feature

I run Kontact in KDE on OpenSUSE 10.2.

I use a network based calendar and address book in Kontact of the form:
sftp://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/path/to/calendar (use calendar resource "remote file")
sftp://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/path/to/addressbook (use address book resource "file")

This way I can without a complex software reach my calendar and address book 
data from everywere.

Both of these works perfect in 3.5.6-48-1. When I upgraded to 3.5.7-7.1 my 
address book resource just disappeared in Kontact. And it is not possible to 
add a new one of the same form (sftp or fish). It simply seems the feature is 
gone The calendar resource of the same sftp form still works though... 
But I miss my address book...


Anyone with a clue?

Many thanks in advance

Regards

I am not sure it can be changed. I have the same thing with evolution
when it asks for a password. The dialog is not on top. I have to do as
you do. I suspect it has something to do with some setting I have seen
about how obtrusive dialogs should be. I have not gotten far with it as
I am unsure if it is a KDE- or GNOME-only setting. Or if each have their
own setting. Or if it really helps anyway. I have looked at it an an
untested thing that was foolishly set to true by default. I would be
happy to be corrected.

[opensuse] Smart GUI making me mad

[Hans van der Merwe]

I have post this before, but now someone must really help me - Im going
insane.

Every time Smart (and some other GTK apps) generate an error dialog it
drops right down behind all my windows.  There is no window in the
taskbar and I have to minimize all to get to it.

Help please.


ps.
Also, I have found that most Python GTK apps sometimes "loose" input on
buttons - when I hover over a button while the app is busy and then try
and click it (after it has come back) its unresponsive - I have to move
the cursor off the button and back on before it recognises the input.
Weird.

Agreed. I typically use rechargables in my camera, so I'm not messing
with the (xD in my case) card. I just plug in the camera, Konqueror
opens a window, I copy the files to folder - /home/kai/Documents/My
Pictures//Event - then either open Digikam or Picasa to manage
them.

I then simply keep them local, copy some to one of my USB drives to
take to the local photo shop, like Price Club or Target, or I upload
them to shutterfly or some other service.

In some cases, I put one picture up on my web page just to view. This
one I just put up this morning:

http://www.perfectreign.com/?q=node/68

In addition I often make a web page containing a collection. I host
several sites and have 50G available. I just use Konqueror to ftp them
up.

Picasa does a nice job of setting up a web page using a format I like.
 Here's an example on the web:

http://www.perfectreign.com/stuff/pics/2007/arrowhead/

I did this one with gwenview:

http://www.perfectreign.com/stuff/pics/2006/2006_florida/

Though I haven't used it recently JAlbum (http://jalbum.net/) does a
beatiful job of both managing pictures and setting up web albums. I
gave up on it only because it does "too much" for me. :P

HTH!

This needs no option or docu, it is expected default behaviour.

But:
tar cvf archive.tar $HOME/*
won't include $HOME/.profile, because it does not match $home/*
tar cvf archive.tar $home
will include $HOME/.profile, 

Was this your catch?

Actually I find Azureus works quite well and isn't "heavy" since the
libraries are not loaded unless the app is loaded. The nice thing is
that it can be used cross platform.

That said, I've grown accustomed to kTorrent. It suits me just fine
and has the nice, friendly KDE open/save dialog box.

Having a useful (unlike the backwards GTK+ and default Java) File
Open/Save dialog box is extremely important.

First, have a go at configuring "power management" in Yast. Then, look 
under "/etc/sysconfig/powersave". You can, for instance, change the 
behaviour when you press once the power button:

POWERSAVE_EVENT_BUTTON_POWER="suspend_to_disk"

Tar works just fine as long as you use it correctly. It has no problems with 
.files

Instead of

#tar -cvf /dev/st0 *
use
#tar -cvf /dev/st0 .

The "tar" command isn't good to use for cloning, or even most backups.
It skips so-called "hidden" files, those whose filenames begin with a
period.

Somebody should add in an option to tar so these are included... would
be a major improvement.  This info should at least be included in the
tar manpage.

Ah? But then... I don't understand why binds want to use something from

And then, when you try to unzip it on a disk that's too small???

Whether you zip it or not, you can't use an image to move to a smaller disk.

Any method that can copy all the files, such as cp -a, tar, rsync etc.
should be able to do it.

Re: [opensuse] TaskManager Equivalent?

[Clayton]

Linux has much better tools for finding out what processes are running.
Which graphical ones you have installed depend on choices you made at
installation time (such as which window manager), but you're certain to
have the two most frequently used.  Open a console window and type in
"ps ax | less"; then try typing in "top".



I assume you're running KDE (seen that from other posts)... and it's a
desktop computer, not a production server etc.  If so and you want to
explore some cool features and things you can do with KDE and Linux in
general at the same time as checking out top, ps and KSysGuard...
start up SuperKaramba (it's on your openSUSE DVD if it's not already
installed, or can get it from the openSUSE repositories).  You can add
a plugin to SuperKaramba that puts a small floating window/widget on
your desktop that displays the output of top all the time... so you
can see what is happening just by looking at the SuperKaramba widget.
There are hundreds of plugins for SuperKaramba... most for system
monitoring.

Just another way to show what processes are running...

That's unusual.  Many computers, not just servers have wake on lan, wake
on modem etc., just for that purpose.  If you don't have that then your
only choice it the power button.  I'm very surprised a server wouldn't
have wake on lan.  In fact, according to this link (click the full
specifications button) yours does.

There are a few, depending on what you're looking for.  However, the
basic way is to run top, which lists all processes.

BTW, you'll find Linux doesn't get "stuck" the way Windows often does.

You can use:
dd if=/dev/sda1 | gzip > some_file.img.gz

This compress the image on the fly.


True, but when extracted it will still be a bit-by-bit copy of the 
source disk and will occupy the original space. Partition table would be 
wrong etc.


What I'm looking at is to move fully operational system to another 
machine with small system disk.

As you're really just copying the filesystem, maybe rsync or tar.  I use
tar'ed filesystem images for installing new machines.

Ok, lets start with the obvious:

No eth1 device - so the module (driver) is either not working or the
interface is not up.
Check that the module is loaded (do all this as su (root user))

(1)
>lsmod (this will list the modules loaded, is ipw3945 in there)
>ps ax  (check that ipw3945d in running)

(2)
if it is:
>ifup eth1

(3)
if not:
modprobe ipw3945
repeat (1)
when successful - do (2)

Just this for now.
Also check the /var/log/messages log when loading the module, for any
errors

I shouldn't have say "install", the module (dazuko?) comes with the 
distro. The program is not permanently loaded, and the module is optional. 
Any way, I have been using both that antivir and bind with no problem for 
years.

But, what is zimbra? That is not part of the suse install, and that's why 
apparmor doesn't allow it.

Try installing ktorrent - very capable client for KDE.  Otherwise, azureus is 
a good client, if a bit 'heavy' since it's written in java.

Seems so - I had to uninstall Beagle from all my and my friends machines
because it was just killing the CPU - making the interface sluggish at
best.

Must add - this is the Beagle version on the 10.2 DVD - I havent tried
installing and updating to latest version.

Google Desktop has been running for 2 days now - I havent noticed.  But
the indexing is a bit weird - jumping around 20% - 12% - 50% etc
