Re: [opensuse] will pay for wireless help

 I have a Toshiba p205d-s7454 laptop with a built in atheros wireless card.  
 The chipset is 5006.  I have tried SUSE, Debian, Fedora and Ubuntu, and no 
 distribution configures the card.  I have tried madwifi and ndiswrapper.  
 Neither works for me.  I need wireless, or the PC is useless to me.  I will 
 pay $50.00 to anyone who will stick with me and help me make it work.  I 
 don't care what distribution I run, although I prefer SUSE, and I would like 
 to use KDE.  I will reload from scratch if necessary.  Currently it has 
 opensuse 10.3 on it.

 All I ask is that you really know what you are doing, and not just make blind 
 stabs at it from reading internet forums.  I have read them all and tried 
 them all.  So I need some expert help.

 Regards,

 James Gardner


   
I have a toshiba A105, with the same atheros card, works perfectly.  did
you try this ?  

http://en.opensuse.org/Atheros_madwifi

you need to install both the kernel AND madwifi for it to work, it
doesnt tell you that on the madwifi site..((i made the same mistake
when first screwing with wireless) did you do both?

Re: [opensuse] Why beagle?

  They are the people
  who would benefit most from Beagle, and that's also about 90% of the

  idea to have Beagle installed by default and turned on.

good point, but perhaps something to think about would be during
installation and configuration of the os a dialog box asks for a certain
time of day to index the drive so as not to interfere with normal
operation.  OR at least a dialog box warning that there is going to be
cpu intensive indexing being done and live with it.  I prefer the
latter.

world of warcraft works perfectly in the latest version of wine, you
need to tweak things regularly though with the patches,.  crossover its

 with best regards from Russia

Hi,

not sure about the intel platform, especially a new one. If it were myself, I 
would steer clear for a while, just personal preference. . BUT, the main 
reason why I wrote was to tell you I have had great luck with both acer and 
toshiba laptops using 9.3 through 10.3.  Everything works fine out of the box 
except when you have an atheros wireless chipset.  This is easily fixed by 
downloading the madwifi package. 

If you have any type of computer store with display models available, I would 
suggest popping in a live cd to test it out before committing yourself.  I 
mess around at circuit city all the time, if they want your hard earned $$, 
they wont mind.

Good luck.

 No flames are in evidence.

 But if you were just trying to say [you] had good luck ... then say
 that, and don't use the steer clear language. The two are hardly
 interchangeable.

 And it goes without saying that one would be better off conducting
 empirical tests, should that actually be an option...

 I've read that dual-booting under Vista is not as easy as 2k/xp

 Can I safely (at least reasonably) resize or am I screwed?

hi,

when you boot from the opensuse install cd it will give you a default scenario 
for partitioning which is fine for most people.   (from my experience anyway)  
I got this acer aspire 5100 laptop preloaded with vista too about 3 months 
ago.  I installed 10.2, took about 1/2 the drive for linux and 1/2 for vista.  
Then I wound up wiping the drive anyway and using the whole 100 gig for 10.2.

  I searched more information and seems that they are available at the SLED

 I dono, but perhaps the source RPMs become available once you buy SLED.

 I'm not sure they that are obligated to give you source if you are not
 a customer.

 This is backwards of the old Suse, where getting source was easy
 but getting an ISO image was virtually impossible.

 Opensuse is a different thing of course.

 John Andersen


as far as I know, SLED is not gpl, and proprietary to novell therefore the 
source isnt provided.  Dont quote me on this though.  I remember years ago  
trying to sell off old box sets of suse I had purchased from novell on ebay 
and had my seller status revoked and received nasty emails from novell. 

 Like you said opensuse the source is freely available, and I believe is re 
distributable but would have to remove any reference to novell in the whole 
distro.  kind of like what centos does with redhat linux.  then again, im not 
a lawyer lol.

add this url to an http installation souce in yast

then open software in yast, search for mplayer.  this will install everything

just not the desktop...

2 desktops using gnome on opensuse.   (mine)

1 server, gnome but rarely use the desktop for anything. (lug)

1 laptop, KDE, on opensuse.  (13yr old sons)


i do occasionally boot into KDE to see what has changed, but I think it 
reminds me too much of windows, I prefer to stay with basic gnome.  I think 
they are both just as capable as the other though.

try the command

smbpasswd

while logged in the linux box under the name you want to be able to login

In my humble opinion, Its going to be a while before you see mass
 installation of any linux by a manufacturer.  There simply is lack of
 support from any major 3rd party software vendor, drivers, etc.  Ive used it
 for 4 years now, and lets not fool ourselves, it HAS come a LONG way, but it
 still has a LONG way to go.  Most people would not fiddle with cedega like I 
do for hours at a time just to get one game to work.  Nor, would they want to 
drop to run level 3, and use the command line to install a graphics driver.

SLED 10 or any MAJOR linux distro is perfect for education, or a business
desktop,  where they use a core set of programs and do not vary.  (web
browser, spreadsheet, word processing)  I am pushing the school district
where we live to look at Novell for a linux solution... I would love to
have my kids see SLED at school , AND at home.  A perfect world!

sorry, I got off the subject.

yes, thats the one I tried I found rpms for all the dependencies on 
rpmfind, except for the python 2.4 I think it was, they had it, but I can 
install it as 10.2 uses python 2.5.  But even if I was ABLE to install 
python, I expect other errors would have arose as pascal has suggested, 
(seamonkey, mozilla libraries, etc).

 Strangely enough, I've been looking at this today after reading some very

 this on the build service

 hasn't got there yet.  Maybe this is something we could help him with?  I'd

Hi,

absolutely Im afraid I wouldnt be any help on the programming side, 
(my limits are a bit of html,  and php)  but testing, and anything else Id be 
more than willing.  This is a great program!  Im having fun with it.

 Packaging an RPM isn't something that I do too often, but as per usual I'll
 take it as a learning opportunity :)

When trying the rpm available from sourceforge, I was able to whittle down the 
dependencies to just python 2.4 it was calling for, and using 2.5 on 10.2rc1.  
Would it matter the difference between the 2? they should be downward 
compatible correct?

 Once again smart - and you, Pascal - has come to the rescue with Suse. I
 used your smart-beta to be able to upgrade the 10.1 RC1 last night after
 the @#$%**!~ whatever is in RC1 at the moment sat for 2 hours at 99%
 completing download, or whatever, until I pulled the plug on the stupid
 thing and installed smart. Looks like a repetition of 10.1 coming with
 10.2. Heaven help us :-( .

 Anyway, thanks for the smart-beta you put together for 10.2. Works like
 a dream.

 Cheers.

I agree, Im thinking there is something wrong again with the updating system.  
Even if there isnt, its just too slow Yast is like a dinosaur, and takes 
5 minutes to start up,  the zen updater hangs for days if you will let it.  
Smart is the only package manager that works quick and flawlessly, as far as 
I can see.  
Thank you pascal,  the pre configured repositories is a nice touch as well!!

a minor problem with config of ktorrent.  anyone know why when I download from

upload speed while I am downloading to 1 and o for unlimited download 
speed.  I am still getting an upload speed average of 21.2 kbs and download 
speeds of 19.3?  72% complete, but I have been downloading for almost 2 
days!! I can usually get all 6 cds in 1/2 hr a piece not bittorrent though.  
is bittorrent NOT suppose to be just as fast or faster?

right now I have 11 leechers, 29 seeders, download speeds 4.3 kbs and upload 
speed of 7.9.   

Im sure my config is just messed up, but I need someone to tell me just that.  

By the way,  we have been using suse since 8.x on a minimum of 3 pcs in this 
house, and will continue to do so.  Love the distro, thank you.

 Hi:

 With the new NNTP based support forums, is this list obsolete?  Ie, are
 all the messages here correlated with one or another of the forums?  If
 so, which ones?

 It can be disadvantageous when there are so many sub-categories of NNTP
 forums, because each one carries only a subset of the community, and
 thus the probability of having one's post read by an interested party is
 less than with a less subdivided arrangement.

 For this reason, perhaps this list is still advantageous?

 Hmm, browsing the Novell site, I don't even see this list mentioned
 anymore.  It appears to all have been transfered to NNTP/HTTP.  Is there
 a link for subscribing to email lists anymore?

 Thanks for comments.


 Good day!

 I got some Kubuntu discs a little while ago, and I would like to
 try them on my XP computer, which presently has a separate HD
 with Suse 10.0 on it.  (I have another computer dedicated at the
 moment to Suse 9.3.)  I will blow off Suse 10.0 and install Kubuntu,
 but I have questions:

 First, all the Kubuntu discs have the same stuff on the label--
 Version 6.06 LTS, but no sequence number. How do I find
 disc 1, etc.? (All the disks seem to have a readme file which
 in each case says disknum 1.)

 Is this safe to do with whatever the Kubuntu installer does?
 I definitely do not want to lose my XP disc and partition. I
 have some important information on there, as well as some music
 from before they shut Napster down.  (Stuff that's NOT available
 on media that's presently in print or for sale anywhere.)

 include MS-patented Windows Media Codecs (WMA/WMV) with both openSUSE

hi,


glad to say that 10.2 successfully clean installed perfectly on my test 
toshiba laptop.   

3d acceleration, correct screen size, wireless, all detected and configured 
without my intervention. very nice.

one problem though, after first boot, second boot, third boot, i have no 
panels, taskbar, whichever it may be called.  i have no way of accomplishing 
anything.  all i have is a few icons on the desktop.  cant right click on 
desktop to do anything, open terminal, change background, etc.  

there IS suppose to be a panel correct?

im sure its just a simple matter of starting a service that did not start 
during boot, but im not sure what, or if anyone else has had the problem.   i 
believe it was kicker in kde, not sure in gnome?

thanks, if anyone has an idea, please let me know.

downloading since 8 this morning.

where are you finding the way to configure encrypted connections or un 
encrypted connections?  im not finding that option in any menu on ktorrent.  
thank you.



 Are you only accepting encrypted connections? you might also try to open
 the ports ktorrent uses and make sure its UPnP module configures your
 router correctly. I had ~500 kb/s with ktorrent and unencrypted
 connections.

 Do it:

   wget http://files1.novell.com/cached/video/microsoft/mswebcast.flv

 The problem I have is playing it later. Video is ok, audio no:

  Video   Audio

 Has:   yesno
 Handled:   yesyes
 Ignore:no no
 codec: Flash Video  unavailable
(ffmpeg)


 Does it mean that the saved file has no audio? It's useless, then.

   The reason getvideo didn't save it is because it's loaded by

 Ah. getvideo downloads objects parsed from html. I used it to save videos
 by handing it the url from my browser's location bar, which is faster than
 looking through ugly html and, in many cases, piecing the url together
 manually.

 Handing it a url to the actual video will cause it to parse the file as
 html, which would result in a lot of grinding. :-)

 If you already have the video url, wget is the appropriate utility.

hi,

if you are using 10.1, have you done the online update configuration in yast

if not, thats is why.

you will need to run that config, it takes a long time, and gives the

when it is done, it will say online update has been configured with whatever 
server is closest to you.

then update your zen updater in the taskbar, and only choose the libzyyp 
update at first.  dont do any of the rest of them.  when libzypp update is 
done, then do the rest..

be forewarned there are problems with 10.1 updates

DO NOT expect it to work as it should.




 Every time I open it up to do an update, it shows me a whole bunch of
 updates, yet downloading and installing them does not seem to work.
 They don't download, and I am presented with the same list again and again.

Hi,

I would never want to discourage anyone wanting to try again, especially with 
10.1, Im on my 5th fresh install, and finally got it working the way I want 
it, (now for about 2 months).  Suse does alot of things right, this is just 
one of the things that was done wrong.  Otherwise an excellent distro.



   I've had the same thing happen with two 10.1 installs; I wiped the
 laptop, but left the desktop- I'll have to check that when I have a moment.

Thanks,
