Make sure you have the line:

winbind offline logon = yes

in your smb.conf file.  Hope this helps.  I have also had to run kinit from a 
console window to refresh the kerabos cache file.

I just did this today.  I had to download the kernel source files, run make 
cloneconfig in the /usr/src/linux directory.  Not sure if required but I was 
customizing my kernel anyway so I ran the make bzImage, make modules then 
make modules_install and manually configured the kernel to boot.  After 
rebooting to the new kernel I went and ran make from the ipw3945-1.2.0 
directory with no problems.  I tried ipw3945-1.2.2 but for some reason 
refuses to connect.  Hope this helps.

I haven't loaded 10.3 yet, but I have always used these two commands from the 
console as I have never found the GUI to work in previous versions.  Open a 
console and su to root, enter

hcitool scan

Make sure your bluetooth device is in search mode.  If the device is located 
the command will return some information including the address in the form of 
xx:xx:xx:xx:xx.  Using the hidd command, enter:

hidd --connect xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx (where the xx: is the device hardware address 
listed with the above command.  The device should be connected.

Hope this helps.

I have just completed the 10.3 install and was actually able to join/validate 
Windows AD membership and authenticate remotely.  I used YaST2 for the 
complete configuration and also told it to use kerberos.  The necessary files 
were downloaded and the files in /etc/pam.d were updated.  I checked and 
pam_unix2 is used.  I have never had to mess with the pam *.conf files.

I had a similar problem on an HP nc6320.  The volume control lost it's driver 
or was always muted at log in.  More frequently could not find the driver 
although YaST sound tested perfectly.  So, I got fed up, opened YaST sound 
control and deleted the current driver and automagically another driver 
popped in all configured and has worked ever since.  Weird, but try deleting 
the current driver and let YaST find it again.

Not sure if related, but the most recent gnome-screensaver update appears to

Hi Gene,

I'm betting all works fine if you log in as root?  Have you checked your

Out of curiosity, is
1 - the config file included with the source, or
2 - what _makes_ an "rt" kernel in comparison to the "normal" kernel?

Well, with the given information it will be up to me to figure out, or maybe 
not.  I _do_ appreciate your information.

Carlos, explanation is close enough, makes sense, as I've been reading up on 
this too.

Marcus, yes, I now have to agree that for the regular, the default kernels are 
just fine.  The rt stuff I can see as being more application specific as 
perhaps in the medical or aeronautics fields.

Thank you both for your enlightening inputs!

In the YaST Control Center, click on etc/sysconfig Editor (in the System 
group).  Click Desktop, Display manager and set DISPLAYMANAGER_AD_INTEGRATION 
to "yes".  This, pending successful join, should present a drop down on the 
login gui that lists your domains in addition to the login/password field.  
I'm using gnome, but guess kde will not be that much different here.

The "reply to group" add on is incompatible with TB 2.0.0.9 so I
apologize if this response goes array.  In any case, I gather you have
already joined the domain and the gdm does not provide the list of
domains.  I have this problem and have not found the source yet, but all
I do is restart gdm, ctrl-alt-backspace, and the list is there again and
I can successfully sign in.  This happens both in connected and cached
modes.  I can only guess that gdm is starting earlier than whatever it
is (winbind?) that collects the domain list.

Anyone know how to add a windows domain user to this group?  I have
attempted various methods using quotes, backslashes, spaces and none
appear to work.  Of course, this has to be done on cli as domain users
are not shown under "Users" in YaST.  Using 10.3 on windows AD
authentication (because of work and I prefer Linux).

I realize this to be off the initial topic, but where did you get "reply
to list"?  I was able to get the "reply to group" installed but it will
only show To:  and not the list.  In this case, I am using
"reply to all" where you are in the "To:" field and "opensuse" in the
"cc:" field.  We'll see where this goes.
