Re: [opensuse] Mplayer and Yahoo conference calls

No i don't think its a buffering issue.  The recordings usually run an hour
and the delay is at least 20 minutes before any sound is heard.  Buffering
might take 30 seconds, but not 20 minutes.  When it finally does start playing
it will play 10 minutes of music before the talking starts.

Somehow this is all skipped if Windows media player is used, and it 
instantly jumps to the talking.  


> Also, you may try using vlc instead of mplayer.

VLC -Same problem.

Xmms - Same problem

Amarok - Same problem

The conference calls are fairly boring (unless you have a couple
hundred thousand on the line), but you can try this and listen
to the first click followed by 20 minutes of silence.

[opensuse] openSuSE10.1 autofs 4.1.4 RPM update? (mtab corruption)

[Monia TEK]

Hi all,

The latest info I can seem to find specific to SuSE is
http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg05668.html from
Matthias Koenig, but at that time there was no patch for openSuSE.
I'm hoping he reads this list or someone knows more about where this
autofs/util-linux issue stands for openSuSE.

Many thanks for any pointers.

Ask the network manager.  If it is hidden, that is exactly why.  They
WANT to control access.  Access to such a network should be seen as a
privilege and not a right.

Not connect.  Unless you are given the info, you would not be allowed to
connect to those networks.  That said, most publicly accessible wireless
networks are setup to connect easily and WILL show up in the list of
available networks.

Deliberate mixing of ad-hoc and infrastructure based networking on the
same SSID is probably not good practice. People configuring machines as
ad-hoc with the same SSID and passphrase is something the network
managers can do little about, and I would regard this as a potential
security weakness in some contexts (might also have a negative effect on
overall network performance).

For home usage, or closed organisation networks the key based approach
is safe and reliable enough, but for certain classes of public access I
would hope to be looking at a certificate based approach rather than a
pass phrase/key based approach (at the moment I do not know how linux
handles certificate based WiFi access).

A hidden SSID usually means the network managers do not want anyone and
their pet poodle to connect, you need to to talk to the people running
the network either to get a certificate or key; and pay the cash if
appropriate. Merely seeing the network DOES NOT give you authority to
use it, and if someone is hiding the network this is a doubly clear message,

At the moment you have to set up a distinct configuration for each WiFi
network.

rant on...

I think main problem is that joe/jill user just thinks that putting
together a network or connecting to a network is like plugging in
telephones to sockets in a walls. Unfortunately, however much you dress
it up behind nice fancy GUIs it aint. Even more problematic are
non-technical managers in organisations who think the same way.

rant off...

[opensuse] Evolution + Exchange 2007

[John]

Morning,
Wondering if there is an "easy" solution to connecting to an Exchange
2007 server from Evolution, on Suse10.2?
The default packages don't support Exchange 2007, and I have been having
issues trying to install the latest source for Evolution + Exchange
connector..
Have got to this point:
checking for CAMEL... yes
checking for CAMEL_GROUPWISE... configure: error: Package requirements
(camel-provider-1.2 libedataserver-1.2 >= 1.9.4 libegroupwise-1.2 >=
1.9.4) were not met:

Requested 'libedataserver-1.2 >= 1.9.4' but version of libedataserver is
1.8.2
Requested 'libegroupwise-1.2 >= 1.9.4' but version of libegroupwise is 1.8.2

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables CAMEL_GROUPWISE_CFLAGS
and CAMEL_GROUPWISE_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.


when trying to configure.
Must admit, don't even know if the latest version (evolution-2.10.2.tar
+ evolution-exchange-2.10.0) will support 2007, anyway??

Good to hear that - that was the one thing that turned me off to

[opensuse] AutoYast: Could not set patterns or selections: novell-ncl

We are trying to use AutoYast to automate installs of SLED on employees PCs.  
Everything works smoothly except when we attempt to install the Novell Client

The Novell 1.2 client is untarred in http://dss-cs99la36/installs/ncl .

We are thinking it has something to do with certificate errors.  Perhaps we

Any ideas?

I've had no  success with gksu.  Does anyone know what package and repository 
it is in?

When I do a search for gksu from yast's software management I am given the 
package: python-gnome-extras

I installed python-gnome-extras, however it doesn't appear to include a gksu 
binary, but installs a folder labelled gksu.

A package listing  rpm -ql python-gnome-extras | grep gksu gives:

ppb4c56400:/home/vasu/temp # rpm -ql python-gnome-extras | grep gksu
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gksu
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gksu/__init__.py
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gksu/__init__.pyc

If I call gksu I get this error message:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/temp> gksu
bash: gksu: command not found
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/temp> which gksu
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/temp> gksu yast2
bash: gksu: command not found

Any suggestions?

I'm using exactly knetworkmanager even under gnome or xfce.


If you want to connect to another - for example, one that has a

The adhoc network with enabled SSID interferes with the infrastructure

Like it should do.
But if there's a network with same SSID Networkmanager connects to it

My eth1 setup includes a passphrase and ESSID for my current wireless

I agree with most of this, though the player concept is valuable for 
people packaging stand-alone solution environments. It's just not a 
good choice when the end user needs to control and configure the system 
that is to be virtualized.

VMWare SERVER is FREE forever and doesn't need the player and
distributing an appliance with win3.1 on it is probably illegal if
distributed but VMWare SERVER is free and legal and he can put his legal
copy of Windoze on it an run his old 16 bit apps under Linux while still
running other Linux spps at the same time.   The player is simply not a
very good idea in most cases IHMO, not when Server VMware is

This could be a kernel bug.  I would really advice to update to 10.2
instead of updating those components yourself.

You can ignore those math failures.  As you see those are minor
details.  Some ULPs are too small.

[opensuse] Question on building glibc

[Dieter Jurzitza]

Dear listmembers,
maybe offtopic, but maybe someone could give me a pointer where to ask / what 
to do. I upgraded my good old SuSE 9.3 to gcc 4.1.2, I made the kernel 2.6.11 
build with that compiler (was some work) and now I finally managed to make 
glibc-2.3.4-23.9 from the 9.3 distribution build given this combination of 
gcc / kernel - yes, well, with two issues:

1.) /* major issue IMHO */
one test fails, tst-signal1.c gives the output
(tst-signal1.out):
sending the signal now
sigwait returned with Interrupted system call (4)
thread joined?!
child wasn't signalled

The "child wasn't signalled message breaks the build, does someone has an idea 
what could be the root cause for this issue? Should one build in single user 
mode / any special precautions for glibc?

2.) /* minor issue IMHO but still not nice */
one of the math test fails too due to insufficient precision (test-float.out):

testing float (without inline functions)
Failure: Test: Real part of: cacosh (-2 - 3 i) == 
-1.9833870299165354323470769028940395 + 2.141449159960199416055713254211

I "glued" plasters over both of the failures, IMHO the second failure might be 
a rounding issue at 10^-6 error size - not that bad. The first error makes me 
headaches, but maybe someone on the list can remove it for me :-):-)
Is there anything with regard to the CFLAGS that stem from rpm that should be 
obeyed / taken care for? _Should_ one build as super user?

Thank you very much,
take care

Gord,
According to where SuSE keeps their files, you can edit the desktop icon 
located in /usr/share/applications for that item to add a root login.  
Just edit the icon's text by right clicking to open with an editor. 
Zenwalk uses the above location, but I'm don't remember where SuSE puts 
things for XFCE4.  You can also, right click on the panel to add the 
item there making it call for root login.  Just use "gksu  to bring up the root password requestor.  You could also use that 
command from a shell while in XFCE4.

Hope that helps.

Lee

[opensuse] gcc Linking Problem

[Daniel Feiglin]

Hello folks!

During the course of trying to build an app from the tgz sources, I
received an odd looking message that gcc could not create an executable.

After a little research, I tried to compile the canonical "Hello, world"
program with this:

gcc -o hello hello.c

and I got this:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> gcc -o hello hello.c

(.text+0x11): undefined reference to `__libc_csu_init'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I've never seen anything like that before (since SuSE 6.1). Can anyone
tell me what's going on here & how to fix it?

My boot is running on software RAID 1 (though GRUB accesses it on only
one disk OR the other).  I have read newer GRUB will have native support

Mine are on hda5 and hdc5, neither of which are primary.

[opensuse] simple firewall scripts

[Wolfgang Rosenauer]

Hi,

for smaller installations (using a Linux gateway) I used to use
SuSEfirewall2 which basically has everything I needed so far.

Now I'd something for another usecase:
An old Linux gateway (with SuSEfirewall) got a hardware gateway in front
of it now which blocks traffic from outside. So there is no need anymore
to do extensive filtering and also masquerading on the old gateway while
it's still there as kind of second stage hiding the internal network
behind it.
Now I still need to control which traffic is allowed from the inside to
the internet which was done via FW_MASQ_NETS in SF2.
Since I want to get rid of a second masquerading, SuSEfirewall has no
mechanism to control this traffic anymore.

Now I could write all iptables rules on my own (which is possible but
I'm kind of lazy in that case) but I wonder if there is no other simple
iptables "generator" outside which does it already.

I plan to look at shorewall but thought I'd just ask here for
recommendations.

Thanks,
 Wolfgang

   While I m not overly familiar with that particular laptop I can make
some suggestions.
First google dv2213+webcam and see what results you get.  You're webcam
is probably on the USB bus even though it is built in, so lsusb -v will
get you info on it.

Esmay-Suiza:/home/Mike/Projects/Python # lsusb
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0d62:a100 Darfon Electronics Corp. Benq Mouse
Bus 002 Device 001: ID :
Bus 003 Device 001: ID :
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0402:5602 ALi Corp.
Bus 001 Device 001: ID :

  For me the cam is on bus 001 and is device number 003, the gold of
this info is the 0402:5602, which is the unique vendor:device
identifier.  With those two numbers you can google to see what driver is
required and if it is available for openSuSE.
(Mine is currently in development.)
