Unfortunately there is. The shutdown bug is hidden in the script
libmsec.py. There is NO config variable to be set to change that behaviour.
You have to rewrite the script. And the msec.py changing stuff is also not
governed by any config variables you also have to rewrite msec.py to fix
the bug.

Is that the resolution you get in "X", are you in the GUI? If so, then you
need to have something like this at the bottom of the /etc/X11/xorg.conf
file:

Depth 24
Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
EndSection

From the command line as root you can also run vasm and then choose
xwindow, xconf to reconfigure X automatically.

Ordinarily you define sound devices in console.perms so that the logged

Check out /etc/security/console.perms and

FWIW, my /dev/dsp looks like this when I'm logged in:
crw------- 1 allen root 14, 3 Jul 22 13:15 /dev/dsp

When I log out, it reverts to:
crw------- 1 root root 14, 3 Jul 22 13:15 /dev/dsp

/etc/security/console.perms has a line in it like:

I don't agree. Incremental backups can save you a lot of work. _Your_ data
is what is most important to _you_. You can always reinstall the OS if
necessary, but you can't recreate your "birthday party pictures." Your
excuse about it "being hard" may land you in hot water if something goes
wrong with your install (or with your hardware- hard disks are known to
fail, you know). You should assess what you have on backup, and what you
need to make that set complete. Otherwise, be prepared to "kiss it
goodbye."
 

Note: comment inline.

You seem to know what you are doing, but I won't be the one to guarantee
that nothing will go wrong with your install. Shit happens. Humans make
mistakes. I'd backup I were you.

If everything is as the boot tool expects - that may work. If something

vsftpd chroot for users

Gentleman, I'm going to give you both a hard time about this concept. Any
"user account" that is accessible via FTP should be considered compromised,
because it's too easy to sniff passwords from FTP. I've met crackers and
network monitoring professionals who do so as a matter of course.

The manual pages for vsftpd are easy to read and set up an anonymous user
access, and the users of normal system accounts can set up something vastly
more secure like SSH or SFTP or even HTTPS/WebDAV access to allow moving and
re-arranging files in their public FTP directories. In fact, I tend to
prefer setting up HTTP anonymous access to the user's public_html directory
(or public_html/pub as necessary), and set up HTTPS/WebDAV for their
public_html directories.

Modem Problem with Suse Version 10.1

Please don't top post. I have moved your response to follow the format
adopted by this newsgroup.

I noticed after I posted that you are using a Intel-537EP. There is a
separate source/driver for that chipset. My links refer to Intel-536EP,
and that is the wrong driver. It appears version 2.7.95.0 is the latest
driver for the 537EP:

(split url, again:)
http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df-external/T8Clearance.aspx?
url=/9284/eng/Intel-537EP-2.70.95.0-suse9.3.tgz&agr=Y&ProductID=1230&DwnldID=9284&lang =eng

You said you have tried two versions of Suse. I see that Intel
supports Suse version 9.3 directly with a binary driver. Suse 9.3 is a
little old, though. The source is the best way, but you'll need to be
able to follow their instructions carefully.

(there is a potential problem in some Debian installs with the move
from the XFree86 to the Xorg server, which is why it might not fire up
properly.)

If none of those solves your problem, come back and give us more
details. If you have a web site somewhere, post the three files created

gdm login screensaver

One way (I can think of maybe) around it is to login as a User and then
"Lock the Session" (perhaps this is only available using a larger DE,
like GNOME and KDE) - but then you could have the screensaver kick in
after a set determined amount of time.

Nobody else will be able to unlock it unless they have that user's
passwd - which may be a problem ..or not. YMMV

I always use Suspend for my monitor(s) - it saves even more energy than
a screensaver, but not in conjuction with login..Again YMMV

PC Problem on boot up

I never meant to suggest that the OS is the cause, it was just
something that had changed.

I looked at the capacitors and some do seem to be swelled at the top.
I do not think it is the power supply though, I might swap it out just
to see.

I know that it would be easier to replace the computer, but it is just
my fooling around computer that I was using to run linux. I do not
really need to replace it, but I would like to have another working
computer here. I might try replacing some of the capacitors to see if
that works. If it does not, then I might just keep the case and
rebuild it.

There was mention of putting in a installer disc, but the problem
happens exactly the same when I try to boot with one of those discs.
I fear it is a motherboard problem and I will have to replace it. Suck.

wireless and madwifi installation problem.

Posted: 17 Jul 2006 03:10 PM PDT

>about my system: I have a laptop t42 (ibm) with fedora 5. wireless 

OK, that means that the driver is either not loaded or had problems when it
tried to load. Look in /etc/modprobe.conf to see if there is something
there (ie some driver to be loaded).
If there is, run modprobe nameofdriver
and see if there are online errors or errors at the end of
dmesg|tail


 
 

That means that you do not have the kernel source installed. Look on your
installation CDs (or whereever you installed from ) for an rpm that starts
with
kernel-source and ends with .i386.rpm
Install it

rpm -Uhv /path/to/your/CD/kernel-source*i386.rpm


 
 
 
 

Yes, it means that the interface wifi0 does not exist, which iwconfig
already told you ( actually wifi0 is not an interface name any driver I
know of uses anyway).


You need either a native driver for your wirelss card
lspci|less
and look for the wireless card.
or you need to use ndiswrapper
( ndiswrapper should be on the installation CD. Install it with rpm
and then do
ndiswrapper -l <nameofwindowsfile.inf>
where the argument is the path to and the name of the inf file for the
windows driver from the windows CD that came with the wireless/laptop.
