[opensuse-factory] Latest Factory Installation YAST observations:
(Using Factory boot.iso dated 01/18/08) 1. I noticed that during installation, pop-up dialog boxes requiring user action show up in the upper left corner. Took me a while to notice it, as I kept clicking Next with no results. Wouldn't it be better to have this pop up in the center of the screen? 2. During partition operations, I would go into fstab options. When done, it would not go back to the primary partition window. I finally realized I needed to alt+tab to get to that window to click done before returning to the main installer window. 3. When all is said and done, I log into my new system just fine with no problems. However, when rebooting, the system goes to the second phase of Installer and says the last installation attempt had failed. I've found that if I ignore this, it will still boot into the system normally and I can log in there. Subsequent reboots do not present this error again. If I do not ignore the message and proceed to re-answer the questions (which strangely enough are already populated with my previous answers) then the error is repeated upon each reboot until I ignore the error. Then it goes away. -- ---Bryen--- - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi to All.
Is possible to use a variable user in the pipe option?
Yeees... that is possible. Though I don't know if it is exactly what you
require. man 8 pipe will tell you that the pipe deamon expands the
localpart of the recipient address (the part left of the @ character in
the recipient address) for the macro ${user}.
If that is the information you need, everything works.
ie:
procmail unix - n n - - pipe
flags=R user=nobody argv=/usr/bin/procmail -t -m /etc/procmailrc
${sender} ${recipient}
in this line change the user=nobody to user=${user}
I wouldn't touch that.
If you deliver to a command via mailbox_command (not a pipe) then this
comes to play:
Mailbox delivery can be delegated to an external command
specified with the mailbox_command_maps and mailbox_com-
mand configuration parameters. The command executes with
the privileges of the recipient user (exceptions: sec-
ondary groups are not enabled; in case of delivery as
root, the command executes with the privileges of
default_privs).
Would that help you?
it is not exactly to change the procmail user, but for changing the user
in the emailto fax gateway, the line is similar.
How does the line look?
Well, the case is exactly this one.
I have a mail to fax gateway, but the fax jobs are sent always with the same
user (the sendfax). What i want is that the fax job is sent each time with
the user who really send the mai
Now i have this line in the master.cf
fax unix - n n - 1 pipe
flags= user=fax argv=/usr/bin/faxmail -d -n $(user)
All the faxes seems to be sent by the user fax. I whant that each fax sent
belongs to the user who really sent the fax.
what i whould change is the user=fax to user=$(user), but i tried this and
failed

[opensuse] Desktop search alternatives
I waited years in anticipation of beagle. Then finally on OpenSuse 10.3 when i tried to use it i found it took a long time to find and list results and i saw no way of having it list results with the search words in the file name listed on top, giving those results more weight or relevance rating. This was especially disappointing when comparing with online search engines searching through billions of documents and often listing highly relevant results within fractions of seconds ... I am a full time researcher so searching files is something i do often, both full text and file names. Beagle is so slow that i disabled it, so i was glad when under the subject of Why beagle others expressed the shortcomings. Konqueror Ctrl-f is still buggy in it's handling of what you do with listed files, lacks basic features like open parent directory, requires users to know grep when searching for partial matches or more then one word, only searches one partition at a time. And i never managed to use properties like file size successfully. Unfortunately this did not change in KDE4's dolphin. Konqueror's Filter This Folder does not search in sub-directories. What is your experience with desktop search alternatives ? Can you recommend affinity-search, doodle, strigi (strigiclient), others ?

[opensuse] AHCI / NCQ problem
Hi, Im having problems activating NCQ on Asus P5B-MX , Seagate Barracuda ST3250410AS (250GB) with Opensuse 10.3 installed. Before installation Ive set in BIOS Enhanced IDE configuration for S-ATA mode (from my understanding that enables advanced features like NCQ), installed the system no problem. After first boot Ive noticed ahci driver wasnt loaded, only ata_piix, so Ive edited /etc/sysconfig/kernel and added ahci before ata_piix driver, rebuilt initrd, edited modprobe.conf and replaced ata_piix occurrences with ahci. Original line: # ata_piix can't handle ICH6 in AHCI mode install ata_piix /sbin/modprobe ahci 21 |:; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ata_piix My line: # ata_piix can't handle ICH6 in AHCI mode install ahci /sbin/modprobe ahci 21 |:; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ahci After reboot I saw ahci loaded under libata but after ata_piix libata | ata_piix, ahci and actually used was ata_piix despite being loaded first. Ive then: # dmesg|grep NCQ And got a line back like: ata3.00: ATA-7, 321672960 sectors: LBA48 NCQ (depth 0/32) # echo 31 /sys/block/sda/device/queue_depth resulted in permission denied. (as I found on linux-ata FAQ) Further reading on linux-ata FAQ says: If the line containing the sector count and maximum UDMA speed does not mention NCQ, your drive does not support it. Im puzzled since I have UDMA showing on: # dmesg|grep ata3 Which displays all disk info, and NCQ (depth 0/32) would mean NCQ is present but disabled. From what I can see disk should support NCQ and I was informed by person who sold it to me that it was NCQ ready. (I specifically wanted NCQ disk). I dont know if Im making a mistake somewhere or disk just doesnt support it. Im in for some help please! P.S. Yes Ive rebooted ;) -- Best regards, Nick Zeljkovic -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[opensuse] Change in 10.3/KDE file browser?
The KDE mediamanager is not running. system:///media/sr0 cannot be found. The above msg box pops when attempting to dis-mount any of the hot-plug media (cd, usb-stick, etc), when using fvwm as manager, and konqueror as the file browser. mtab says: /dev/sr0 /media/Nov\04015\0402006 iso9660 ro,nosuid,nodev,noatime,uid=1000,utf8 0 0 I do have a full kde install, but most users here prefer fvwm, for speed. This worked fine in 10.2. In 10.3, I can obviously mount devices/media, but unless I am logged in on KDE3, they will not eject. From CLI, only root is able to umount /media/Nov\04015\0402006 or /dev/sr0 even though it looks to be mounted by me (uid=1000) Again, if in KDE, it all works fine, and the kids can cycle cdroms or sticks without hassle...or calling me for help. I have searched for the kde mediamanager, and haven't found it mentioned in the rpm queries or as a system run service...but it IS working IF I start a kde session. Weird? Any clue why this changed in 10.3, or am I missing something obvious here... Thanks! Tom in NM -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[opensuse] Mic not working with 10.3 64bit
Hi! I have been struggling entire day today to get my sound card up and running properly but with not luck. Running openSuSE 10.3 on AMD x64 on acer Aspire notebook. The sound output works perfectly OK but I struggle to get my microphone working. Initially I assumed it was Skype problem but then tried recording sound with krec and it fails as well. The sound card is (lspci): 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02) [8086:27d8 (rev 02)] And as it has been properly discovered by yast2 sound I am using Intel HDA driver module Because it is on Acer Aspire 5630 I have altered /etc/modprobe.d/sound to be the following: alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel # u1Nb.FPeEl_lypDB:82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller options snd-hda-intel enable=1 index=0 model=acer And it works OK: kernel: ACPI: PCI Interrupt :00:1b.0[A] - GSI 22 (level, low) - IRQ 22 kernel: PCI: Setting latency timer of device :00:1b.0 to 64 kernel: ALSA /usr/src/packages/BUILD/alsa-driver-hg20080118/pci/hda/hda_codec.c:2212: hda_codec: model 'acer' is selected As you can see the driver is also pretty up to date. I could not find many more clues for this specific problem as the card generally works and I have output via speakers/headphones. The most obvious would be to look in the mixer settings for Input but I have double-checked that levels are set to maximum and Mic and Capture is ON. I can also check the the mic itself works because if I go to Output mixer controls and turn the Mic on I can hear it well in the headphones (but that presumably only enables internal sound card routing of the signal). In the input channels I have: * Front Mic Boost * Mic Boost * Capture * Capture * Digital Though both Capture are enabled the level on it is always at the minimum but even if I turn it up and reopen the mixer it resets to zero. Any clues someone? I don't know where to look now.

So, presumably XOrg is loading the wrong one - i.e. /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.1 instead of /usr/X11R6/lib/libGLcore.so.1 I'm inclined to think that at least one of installing X.Org then the NVidia drivers and finally enabling 3D acceleration in SaX should have fixed that, and even more puzzled about what happened to change the fact that it has been working for yonks and now doesn't. Nevermind, given that uninstalling X didn't uninstall Mesa I guess it's an orphan (especially as xorg-x11-server provides the same library at /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libGLcore.so) so I'll go uninstall it now.

Shame it doesn't tell you what they are -- e.g. the information that deleting this will break /ogre/ makes what the bleep is 'ogre'? Maybe I do want to delete it too, maybe I don't! a very relevant question at that point, but YaST doesn't tell you. Maybe that's fixed in 10.3? Nevermind, there's more than enough stuff in the list that I *know* I do want to keep. OK, so no deleting Mesa. Hmm, how about messing up ld.so.conf such that /usr/X11R6/lib/ comes before /usr/lib/ (which really feels *wrong* to me) and hopefully the X server will just happen get the right libGLcore.so first... More time passes... and ... BINGO!

So many thanks for your help, which really got me pointed in the right direction. I definitely owe you a beer!

The sound card is (lspci): 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02) [8086:27d8 (rev 02)] And as it has been properly discovered by yast2 sound I am using Intel HDA driver module Because it is on Acer Aspire 5630 I have altered /etc/modprobe.d/sound to be the following: alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel # u1Nb.FPeEl_lypDB:82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller options snd-hda-intel enable=1 index=0 model=acer And it works OK: kernel: ACPI: PCI Interrupt :00:1b.0[A] - GSI 22 (level, low) - IRQ 22 kernel: PCI: Setting latency timer of device :00:1b.0 to 64 kernel: ALSA /usr/src/packages/BUILD/alsa-driver-hg20080118/pci/hda/hda_codec.c:2212: hda_codec: model 'acer' is selected As you can see the driver is also pretty up to date. I could not find many more clues for this specific problem as the card generally works and I have output via speakers/headphones. The most obvious would be to look in the mixer settings for Input but I have double-checked that levels are set to maximum and Mic and Capture is ON. I can also check the the mic itself works because if I go to Output mixer controls and turn the Mic on I can hear it well in the headphones (but that presumably only enables internal sound card routing of the signal). In the input channels I have: * Front Mic Boost * Mic Boost * Capture * Capture * Digital Though both Capture are enabled the level on it is always at the minimum but even if I turn it up and reopen the mixer it resets to zero. Any clues someone? I don't know where to look now.

[opensuse] Replacing an icon on the desktop
I have on the desktop some Java programs which are displayed as generic icons. I have much better icons, or can make, much more intuitive icons for these. How must I go about replacing one for the other?

Philipp Thomas escreveu: For *running* applications your system should use the nvidia OpenGL libs as you need them for accelerated 3D. For *building* apps, the Mesa libs should be used as otherwise those applications won't run without nvidia libraries which obviously you don't want. Agreed, completely. Just try deleting the package manually with rpm and it will give you the names that you can then again feed into rpm to get info on the packages. Again, agreed, but I obviously didn't make my point clearly. It goes like this: Me: YaST, please delete this thing. YaST: Certainly Sir, but deleting that will break this other thing. Do you want me to delete that too? Me: Err, what is it? Of course you /can/ cancel then go back and find out what the other thing is, then delete the first thing again, then next time it asks you answer the question sensibly. Or even select /both/ things for deletion in the first place. I just think it would be nice if YaST gave you the opportunity to find what the other thing is at the point at which it's asking what you want to do about it. /usr/X11R6/lib/ comes before /usr/lib/ (which really feels *wrong* to me) You mean the precedence? That's not really astonishing. It's a hackish way of making sure X picks the right instance of the shared library. If you have an application that needs /a/b/c/libSomething.so.1 *and* some other application that needs /d/e/f/libSomething.so.1 then *one* of those applications *will* be broken by this. In fact, even now I can't *know* that something else isn't now broken on my machine because it'll get the X Window version of something instead of the version in the standard location. I assume that's not the case because the directories must have been listed in this order in ld.so.conf previously for 3D acceleration to have been working before.

I can give you the KDE answer (Gnome is probably similar, but I can readily confirm that supposition or give any real details). The GUI way: Right click on the desktop icon in question. From the pop-menu that appears, select Properties (the last item in the menu). In the resulting dialog there are several tabs. Initially you see the General tab, and on that tab is the currently assigned icon. This is a button. Click it and the system will present you with a window holding all the icons known to KDE at the moment (System icons). You can pick one of these or switch to Other icons.

What, if anything, must I do to convert Windows or OS/2 icons for use in the Llinux desktop? KDE can use PNG, JPEG, GIF, XPM, SVG and .ico files. Probably you can just use whatever you've got. NOTE: The browser referred to in The GUI way above will only show PNG, XPM and SVG (including compressed SVG files with a .svgz suffix). But you can enter files of the other formats I mentioned, too.

[opensuse] A useful and fun .bashrc welcome screen
Listmates,
After finding some interesting information in the .bashrc tips at http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/tools/17142.html,
I adapted the welcome screen idea to capture useful system information on login. I have to admit, the colors made it
pretty cool. (I'm easily amused tonight)
I pulled the useful information and created a separate welcome script that can be called as one of your last lines in
.bashrc. The .bashrc call is tested against the terminal type and skipped if a 'dump' terminal type is used such as in
the case of scp. It was a fun exercise that provided a bit of learning. For what it's worth, here is the call from .bashrc:

[opensuse] install info request
Greets: Currently test/playing with 11.1 and I ran into a snag with the install process. The test system has two nics, one standard nic e100 and a D-Link Airplus G DWL-G520 which is supported(pci atheros). The current network is setup on wireless only. The issues is that I can load all the needed drivers for the G520 but only after DHCP fails on eth0. Yast does give me the options to load either the e100 or G520 while using text mode but DHCP is already assigned at this point in the install process to eth0 and thus fails when selecting G520 Is there a way that I can load the needed modules for both the card and the wireless stack at boot time or alternatively prior to the install sequence detecting and associating DHCP with eth0. Alternatively is there a way to reassociate DHCP with the G520 once all the modules are loaded. Using yast in text mode for testing. regards and thanks for any info -- /ch -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Listmates,
After finding some interesting information in the .bashrc tips at

screen idea to capture useful system information on login. I have to admit,
the colors made it pretty cool. (I'm easily amused tonight)

Thanks for sharing this David. I gave it a try on my system at home but it
threw a syntax error on the following line...
echo -ne ${lightblue}Uptime for:${green} $HOSTNAME ${lightblue}is
${cyan};uptime | awk /'up/ {print $3,$4,$5,$6,$7,$8,$9,$10}'
}
Not being familiar with awk, I played around a bit but ended up just deleting
everything from the pipe onwards.
Very useful script though. Thanks again.
Regards,

[opensuse-packaging] OBS package release number default package release number... bug?
There are some packages in the openSUSE Build Service that update packages from the default installation but that have a release number minor than the package from the defaut installation. An example: - openSUSE 10.3 comes with fileshareset-2.0-372 RPM, that has been updated to fileshareset-2.0-372.5. The source RPM is kdebase3-3.5.7-87[.5]. - KDE:KDE3 OBS repository, from where a lot of people updates to KDE 3.5.8, has fileshareset-2.0-41.1 from kdebase3-3.5.8-41.1 source RPM. When I see such a thing should I report it to bugzilla? This concrete case is problematic... I use Smart and have KDE:KDE3 repository with a higher priority. So it always prefers fileshareset-2.0-41.1 over fileshareset-2.0-372.5 even if the release number is minor. I think that's the best I can do... I don't know what fileshareset really is, but to avoid compatibility problems is better to have all the packages from the same source RPM. The problem happens if I try to use opensuse-updater. It tries to install fileshareset-4865-0 patch to install fileshareset-2.0-372.5 package. Since fileshareset patch requires kdebase3 == 3.5.7-87.5 ~# LANG=C zypper patch-info fileshareset ... Provides: patch: fileshareset == 4865-0 Requires: atom: kdebase3-beagle == 3.5.7-87.5 atom: fileshareset == 2.0-372.5 atom: kdebase3-kdm == 3.5.7-87.5 atom: kdebase3-nsplugin == 3.5.7-87.5 atom: kdebase3-devel == 3.5.7-87.5 atom: kdebase3-session == 3.5.7-87.5 atom: kdebase3-32bit == 3.5.7-87.5 atom: kdebase3-ksysguardd == 3.5.7-87.5 atom: kdebase3-extra == 3.5.7-87.5 atom: kdebase3-samba == 3.5.7-87.5 atom: kdebase3-64bit == 3.5.7-87.5 atom: kdebase3 == 3.5.7-87.5 -- but since I already have kde 3.5.8 zypper ends trying to install kdebase3-32bit... and with it also 25 additional packages/dependencies. I have never trusted libzypp, so forget that part... but the OBS fileshareset package with a relese number minor than the one from default openSUSE 10.3 should be reported like a packaging bug? - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
