[opensuse] SuSE Kaffeine Error
So I have the latest version of kaffeine installed. I got it from YaST, more specifically, I believe the packman repository. Anyways, it works but then stopped all of the sudden. It'll open but if I try to play videos on it, it will crash. This is the KDE backtrace on it. System configuration startup check disabled. Using host libthread_db library "/lib/libthread_db.so.1".

[opensuse] Weird KDE Crash
Let me give you a little background. I have recently been having CPU fan errors and as you know, when it goes out, my CPU overheats and computer locks up. Reluctantly, I have to reboot the computer the hard way. Now, I have done that no more than 20 times in it's life (or at least since i've had this problem, don't kno the exact number). Anyways, now I get an error that says "KLauncher could not be reached via DCOP" whenever I click my desktop or taskbar icons. In addition to that, any KDE keyboard command I use gives me the same error (Ctrl+Esc for Ksysguard). I also can't run any programs. If I got to the KMenu and click YaST or Firefox, it doesn't even attempt to open it. This problem happened right after the latest hard reboot. Any ideas as to what might fix it? I really don't want to have to reinstall. Thanks all. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[opensuse] HELP! My WiFi is down!
Okay, So I saw that I can update my kernel and I figured, sure, why not. 2.6.21-rc5-git2-31-default is what I have. I added software.opensuse.org/download/Kernel:/HEAD/openSUSE_10.2/ to my source and did an upgrade.Everything works except for, you guessed it, my wifi. I have both IPW3945 and a Madwifi card in my computer. Both worked just fine, I installed the rpms from YaST when I installed openSUSE 10.2 and all was well. NOW, no wifi works and I checked and they are present in /sbin but nothing works, not even modprobe. Now I don't know if it makes a difference or not but I have that wlan-default kernel installed from YaST if that makes a difference. Any ideas of what may be wrong or has anyone else experienced this? What's my best option to take here?

[opensuse] Graphic error
So my notebook is kinda goofy right now. It has an Intel GMA 950 graphics card on it. It's been working pretty well so far but the past week or so, it stopped showing my XGL screen savers. Also, it won't play some of my XGL/SDL style games. Example, I like Wormux (I need to expand my linux game knowledge), and it gives me an error, I don't remember it but it can't find libSDL.so or something to that degree. I tried to reinstall all the SDL software, no change. I checked and 3D acceleration is checked in SaX2. Now I have XGL running and that goes fine. When I preview my screensavers, they show up fine. I also have 3D destkop, it works fine. I have XGL disabled most of the time since I don't use it but I enable every so often to show it off. What do you think the problem is?

[opensuse] OpenGL or SDL problem
So I have an Intel 950 GMA with 3D acceleration. Works pretty good but for some reason, it didn't play all 3D games and some of my 3D screen saver won't work either. To test it, I went into konsole and trid to run the game wormux and got this error: wormux: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL_gfx.so.13: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I tried to reinstall/upgrade my SDL and OpenGL from Yast Software management to no avail. What can I do to get this working? If it helps any, XGL and Beryl seem to be working fine. Of course, I turn it off after using it for demonstration with the old "gnome-xgl-settings --disable-xgl".

Don't quote me on this but I believe you need a piece of RIM software to get it working. It is indeed possible to do, but I am pretty sure you need a third party RIM software to get it to sync properly with Linux. Once you do that, I recommend using Evolution. The KOrganizer and KAddressBook are fine but I personally prefer Evolution. If you like that others, that's cool, I think they'll work all the same in the end.

[opensuse] Frostwire causes Network Crash
So these past two days, I've been enjoying my wireless network like I have been for the past two years. Well i noticed that I can be online for hours but almost half an hour after using frostwire, my network will crash. I will try to reconnect and will wind up having to restart network manager. Sometimes I have to restart the whole computer. It's kind of inconvenient. Anyone ever have a similar experience? Could it be foul play on my network? If it is... how can I tell. i am not a networking expert so I don't know how to see who's on my network or who's trying to hack or whatever. I don't even know what software to use to do this. Maybe someone knows of a crash course I can look at. Who knows, first we should solve this frostwire problem. Any ideas? Thanks.

Re: [opensuse] OpenOffice 2.0.4, should one upgrade?
It's not heresy at all. The ODF Alliance has no real problem with it. The new Microsoft XML format and ODF don't work together yet. With this plan, they will. ODF will still be ODF and MS XML will be MS XML. They are just making sure they translate each other. OpenOffice is it's own project handled by Sun, not Novell. Novell is just a contributor, there is no way Microsoft could stamp everyhing except if they patented the translator which I don't think they'll do (but I wouldn't put it past them) while on the subject, the other two things on the Novell MS pact also inclube interoperability, which is a big deal. Honestly, it's not easy for many businesses to have both Linux and Windows in the office and some don't have the time to use Samba. By that I mean, they need to have their businesses going. They can't take time off to learn Linux. If the two can work well together, then they can still use Windows and linux with less trouble. let face it, once businesses began to adopt linux more, then consumers will. Once that happens, we'll see a lot more support for it. Also more software and drivers available as well as codecs and what not. Finally, virtualization. Again, what's the big deal. So They want to figure out how to get Xen to work on Windows so they can virtualize Linux on Windows and vice versa. That wouldn't be such a bad idea, would it. I like to play some windows games that don't work so well on Wine. You forget that legally, Microsoft can't take over Linux. The GPL prevents them from doing so, the most Microsoft can do is help it work better with Windows because right now, the two don't play nice without a lot of expert configuration. Even without the GPL, do you think the community would ever allow Microsoft to just take over. We have mob rule as an open source community. All MS can do is contribute and anything they develop into Linux, it will be Open. But this isn't about MS, just wanted to throw that out there. > > ... because it will be the one that has *Microsoft* stamped all over > it. No, >not really, no.

[opensuse] How to firewall
So I am kind o a n00b when it comes to networking with SuSE. By n00b, I mean, I don't do it often enough to know what's going on lol. Anyways, I figured you guys would so maybe you can give me some pointers. Basically this is my setup, my DSL provider has given me 5 static IPs. Currently, 2 i am hosting systems with, one I am using for my wireless router to give certain systems DHCP instead of static (the modem/router they gave me can only work in static or DHCP modes). So this modem they gave me is also an ethernet router with four ports. I connect my Linksys wireless to port 4 and 2 systems are connected to the other two ports. Currently, I have a firewall but I am not thrilled with the one that they are giving me and I don't want to have to firewall the individual systems anymore. I have received a box (P4 nothing special, still need to spec it) and I want to make it an opensuse router. I want to be able to Firewall the whole network. (1), how would I connect this? (2) Can I set up this router to where I can still give my 2 systems (and future systems) their statics and all remaining systems with DHCP? If this works, I'll probably throw out that Linksys router and get a hub or switch. Do I configure these services within the box or the individual systems or the modem? I don't want to lose my static capabilites because I am connected to a router that is supposedly DHCP. Thank you guys for your time and assistance.

[opensuse] k3b and isos
Hey, So I just now compiled k3b 1.0rc5 and I am trying to burn an ISO. It will only give me three burnspeed options. x10, x16, and x24. Now I normally burn isos at x4 and I know for a fact my burner should be able to do that. it did that back when I used ubuntu way back when. Anyone know how I can set my speeds in k3b or does it hurt to burn a CD iso at x10? Thanks all for your help. I am using 10.2 openSuSE by the way.

[opensuse] XGL video issue
So I got XGL working with Beryl and Compiz. I am using Beryl by default and my videos in kaffeine and xine, well vids in general. They are very laggy and it slows down my cursor. Well when I was using simply KDE, my vids were fine, under Beryl, slows down. Kaffeine will only operate in opengl move. Also, I have irritating borders around every menu and window. How do I turn it off? Is it possible to get the full XGl/Compiz effect without Beryl or Emerald. By effects I mean the 3D cube and ability to rotate and also the 3D Desk that causes the windows to appear 3D?

Re: [opensuse] Linux will never overtake Windows
I think Linux has a potential to not necessarily take over windows but be a contender. I don't think we'll have a day in the near future where Windows won't exist. I do believe that one day, Linux will be an option. People will know about Linux and it will be in heavy use. Just look at the facts, Linux is free, involved user participation, from a business stand point, it's more secure. Linux is user-friendly, it's different. I've had customers get used to Linux in about 3 months time. Of course it's not user friendly when you've been using Windows forever. We have programs like YaST and Synaptic and Smart which make it easy for apps, no more difficult than going into a store, putting in a disk, and going through the install process on Windows. On a user end, it's not that hard. There is a learning curve, that's for sure, but once you get into the swing of things, it's not bad. I have customers whom are average people whom I have put Linux onto. They had a tough time at first for like 2 months or so, but then they were using synaptic to solve problems, going to forums, using Google, and had no problem. Windows isn't user-friendly, it's just what people are used to. I mean ya, it's pretty simple to use, but it's also pretty simple to mess up.

Re: [opensuse] Dumb question on networks and servers
I thank you all for your help. Now tell me this, let's say for the sake of argument I made a SuSE Linux router and I am usig a HUB(or maybe a Switch) to route traffic from my second wired NIC to four computers. Since they are all ultimately connecting to that one suse box, it can be set to monitor and also log the network activity? Also would I want to do this for any other service like let's say I wanted to firewall my whole network not just one machine. Would i have to have all of my computers on the network ultimately connect to the suse box with the firewall configured? If not, I am guessing I would want to connect to a switch with a port in monitor mode so that I can do this. I am just trying to get a better feel for using SuSE for more than just desktop usage but more practical network usage. Also, if anyone is running a WAN, let me know what you did to set it up.

Re: [opensuse] openSuSE 10.2 crashing too often
You know what, I am having a similar problem with my notebook. It runs both Edgy Eft and OpenSuSE 10.2. Both of them have problems with randomly crashing and then I'd have to hard reboot in order to get back to use. After a while, I determined that it was indeed Hardware related. Try runnign another distro or live CD and just keep using it and see if it crashes. The odds of two unrelated distros crashing on the same machine pretty much eliminates the software error theory. Also, when you started using the computer, did anything either not work or work very funny? One tell tale sign on my computer was the fact that my IPW3945 chip wouldn't work. I bought a new one, same problem. Well it worked but it had a five foot range. That kinda clued me into the possibility of other hardware issues. Luckily for me, still under warranty so I filled an RMA. Try running another distro and do what you would normally do on Linux. If it crashes try again and time your crashes. Run a memtest again to check for RAM and also do some (reiser)fsck to check if there are HDD errors. The cpu may be overheating but if you have a working cooling system, it'd have to be working overtime to overheat. Use kpowersaved, even on a desktop, it should give you a read out on cpu power usage. Let me know what you find out.

I have the same problem. My OpenSuse 10.2 was working fine but froze for some reason and so I shut it down by holding the button down. I booted again, seemed fine except KPowerSave won't start. This sucks of course. I rebooted twice and shut down and started once. It sucks cause now I must guess in relation to power. If anyone knows how to fix this, that would be great. Also, what can cause OpenSuSE 10.2 to freeze? I'd like to avoid it as much as I can. Also, what's the best thing I can do to prevent damage when a freeze occurs? Thanks for your time and assistance everyone.

Re: [opensuse] Diff. between OpenSuSE and SuSE Linux Enterprise
The real major difference is support. OpenSUSE is free and meant to be used as a desktop Linux.It's not suited for enterprise usage because it's unstable, always changing, there's a lot to keep up with. SLED on the other hand is pretty much standard. You get a few Service Packs every so often, but for the most part, what you see is what you get. On the otherside, The only support you get on OpenSUSE is community support and maybe any literature you can find off of Amazon or Ebay. SLED, you get support from Novell when you need them. When choosing between the two, think about money, adventurous spirit, and need for support. If you think you'll need a great deal of support, get SLED, however it costs about $50. It isn't as up to speed as OpenSuSE is so if you want to have fun and play with Linux, get OpenSUSE. SLED is just supposed to provide a more stable Linux environment for businesses. If you are a true blue Linux user, go for OpenSUSE, if you want a steady environment use SLED. Of course, to many linux users, that level of steadiness is boring. So if you are used to the old SuSE, get OpenSuSE.

[opensuse] Save YaST software config
So I do a lot of Linux installs and I want to start using OpenSuSE instead of Ubuntu. With Ubuntu's synaptic, you can save all the markings you've made in synaptic so if you ever did a fresh install, you could open the markings and reinstall everything on ubuntu the way you had it. It made reinstalling the OS more tolerable rather than to try to remember everything you had installed. Can you do anything like that with OpenSuSE in YaST. Also, can someone give me the 411 on Smart. I was told to try to use it but I am not sure about it.

Re: [opensuse] Goodbye to suse
Agreed, this mailing list in particular is all about having a problem, hoping to find someone whom had a similar problem and fixed it. This is what makes Linux just that. We're open source, an operating system not based out of a corporate setting, but just average guys whom like computing. We hail from all over the globe and these mailing lists are meant for us to think together and come up with solutions to problems. If you ask a question, you'll get an answer hopefully. If not a direct one, you'll get a suggestion. If one fails to put up all the info, we'll ask you to check things. If I went to a mechanic and said my car won't start, they'd ask stuff like "when did you last check it", "how many miles since last oil change" "When did it start?". If I don't give it to him in the first place, he'll have to ask to get it. Otherwise, he really can't help me with that info. Now imagine the mechanic just giving advice, not actually touching the car, you'd have to give him a lot more info. You rarely get instant gratification on these mailing lists cause solving these problems is a process. I don't think you can expect to go to a mailing list such as this or any linux mailing list and expect an easy answer. When you get defensive about things, that only makes things worse. By asking a question here, you admit that you have no clue as to what's wrong and you are also acknowledging that anyone whom replies knows what they are talking about. It's not that we are trying to be egotistical, this is just how it is, you don't know, we do. One day, you may get in the position where you know something someone else doesn't. We are all here to help each other but you can't be helped if you won't listen to advice given. You also need to cooperate and realize this is a process and we need info and a lot of trial and error. This is Linux, that's how it works many times. You don't like it, go to Windows and enjoy your viruses.

Re: [opensuse] Goodbye to suse and why not stay, The Linux Wall
I have to apologize on behalf of those whom care (since surely I can't speak for everyone). I think we are all a little on edge over this Novell and Microsoft thing. Keeps us all on edge because people are getting mad at Novell and in turn, are getting mad at us here at OpenSuSE so we are all getting defensive and hostile. I apologize to anyone I personally offended and apologize to anyone whom has been offended by anyone. I think we should all respect each other's ideas. That doesn't necessarily mean we have to agree with everyone, we just need to respect their ideas. Help those whom want help, so on and so forth.

Re: [opensuse] Goodbye to suse
Hey, so I just joined into this convo and you know what, I am all for OpenSUSE. I am not sure what's up with Novell and Microsoft and how that will effect us, but I feel as if it'll help. Let's face it, there are a lot of things that don't work well with Linux especially in a corporate setting. I want to see Linux and Windows be able to work (of course, I'll use Linux). I am not an MS fan but I don't like the fact that my OpenOffice can't open the MS .docx yet. I also hate having to get third party software to make Linux and Windows servers and management work. As for your music, it's the same problem with Ubuntu. In Dapper and Edgy, you have to download extra xine codecs off of their multiverse repository. You can't just get mp3 support out of the box. I think there is something larger than Microsoft and Novell going on with these formats and patents. I don't think it's rational to get mad at Novell over our misfortunes. It's just a Linux thing, not a Novell thing. We all need to work together if we want to see Linux blow up onto the mainstream map. Once that happens, we'll see more Linux drivers and apps.

[opensuse] mssttcorefonts and repositories
SO ya, I am an ubuntu refugee and got pretty comfortable with it's apt-get setup. ALmost everything I needed was there. I am trying to get mssttcorefonts but can't seem to find a YaST repository for it. Does anyone know how to get msttcorefonts installed on OpenSuSE 10.2? Also, does anyone know of any really get repositories where you can get a lot of good software from? The one's listed on the site appear to be repetitive. Of course, the more stable/tested and trustwortyh the repository, the better.

[opensuse] Wireless ipw3945 Broadcom 4318
So this is a long story. I have OpenSuSE 10.1 Remastered on my computer. I have an ipw3945 chip in my computer. I have HORRIBLE range with it. MY computer is an MSI 1034 btw, one of those whitebooks, build it yourself things. Anyways, this 5 ft range really began to bug me so I ordered a new card, thinking that maybe the card is defective. I had the same exact problem. I decided to use a PCMCIA card from Linksys with the Broadcom 4318 drivers. Still no luck. I began to notice something though, my wireless is controlled by a button on the shell of my computer. when the button is off, wireless stops working COMPLETELY. Neither the Linksys nor the Intel wireless works, When I turn it on, it works... but with horrible range. Could it be a problem with my setup? I figure that there is something with my computer's way of handling wireless devices all together. Anyone have any idea on how I can imporve my wireless?
