Firebird and Kmail
by Johannes Rieken 09 Sep '03

09 Sep '03

Hello! I am using Kmail and MozillaFirebird. Everything ist fine besides the cooperation of these programms. As Firebird is my default browser html-files are to open with it. Also Kmail starts Firebird after clicking a link. But it gives not the link to Firebird but a local path of a copy of that link. This copy is made right after clicking the link and before starting Firebird. What is wrong? Thanks, Johannes

Lisa and Exchange Questions
by Andy Choens 07 Sep '03

07 Sep '03

Two simple questions about using a Linux Laptop on a Windows 2003 network. Q1: I can get lisa to give me a list of the computers on the network. But, my passwork is never accepted, and none of the computers on the network are showing with names, only IP names. I've adjusted lisa to use nmb too, with no difference. (Yes, it is installed) Q2: I've tried to use the exchange plug-in. So far, no success. Has anyone here succeeded in this? Got any tips?

messed up file types
by Konstantinos Georgokitsos 04 Sep '03

04 Sep '03

Hello List. I messed up my file types somehow. I tried to add additional programs to handle mp3 files. Now Konqueror does not recognise files with ending .mp3 correctly anymore. If I add an additional .ok or anything else, Konqueror obviously does not use the ending but recognises the file differently, and there the file is recognised correctly as mp3 and right-click -> Attributes (? I don't have english locale) can present e.g. id3 tags, and right-click->Open with gives a nice selection of apps to use to open the file. When I go into the Konqueror settings for file types (under audio) I get something like 5 or 6 different ones for mp3: - For starters I get 2 file types called mp3 which have as application only RealPlayer8 (however, when I right-click on a .mp3 file under Konqueror I get XMMS first then RealPlayer8, then nothing), it seems that RealPlayer8 installed this file type. - I also have file types: mpeg (twice) with apps: Xmms and RealPlayer8, mpeg3 with no app, mpegurl (twice) with RealPlayer8, and mpeg with RealPlayer8 - I then have file types with an x- in front (MIME???): x-mp3 (twice! one with icon the other without) with a plethora of applications, like xmms, Kaboodle, Noatun, xine, RealPlayer8, xmms queue, Kid3, KMPlayer - There are also x-mpeg with RealPlayer8 only, x-mpeg3 (no app), xmpegurl (twice, with different file endings, but the same list of apps: KMPlayer, Noatun, xmmx queue, Kid3, RealPlayer8), x-mpeg-url (no app). seems that one of the file types x-mp3 is used by Konqueror when it automatically recognises the file without looking at the filename ending, as this is the list of apps I get with right-click->Open with. Can someone help me sweep up this mess? Kostas

kaudiocreator quit ripping
by David T-G 03 Sep '03

03 Sep '03

Hi, all -- I've been using kaudiocreator for a few days and have ripped and encoded a handful of CDs on my SuSE 8.1 system. It isn't Matthias's tweaked LAME, and I have to run it as root to see the disc, but I'm happy enough. This evening, though, it suddenly quit on me. I ripped a CD and it went all the way through but did not encode any of the tracks (whereas it usually starts encoding a track as soon as it is ripped), and now after starting over it will not even rip anything, complaining "unknown protocol: file" in the popup window and telling me "ERROR 3: couldn't create slave" at the command line. I didn't touch anything; I swear :-) I had ripped a couple of CDs right before getting to the "problem" CD and didn't change anything for that one, and now I can't do anything period.

VAIO touchpad
by Gnana Vadi Vale 02 Sep '03

02 Sep '03

Hi all I am trying to get a VAIO touchpad to give me the sliding feature under SuSE 8.2. Under Windows, it comes with a feature of sliding the finger along the vertical edge or horizontal edge controlling the H or V scrollbar. Is this feature supported under LINUX ? Has anyone got it to work ? So far, I tried setting the protocol to "GlidePointPS/2" in XFree86Config file. But it still functions like the normal mouse, no sliding effects. Thanks in advance, Vale.

Upgrade from 3.1.1 to 3.1.3
by Pavan K Balellugari 01 Sep '03

01 Sep '03

Hi, I am trying to see how do i upgrade the KDE from current 3.1.1 to 3.1.3. I see that 3.1.3 is the latest on Suse KDE download site. Till Now my Yast Online Update(YOU) didn't tell me anything about this new version of KDE. I am using the download version of Suse 8.2. Would this be the reason why the YOU never told me about the KDE 3.1.3?? If i want to upgrade to 3.1.3 can i just download the files from the Suse KDE site & install them??. Would it install over the existing 3.1.1 ?? Any other pointers regarding this would be appreciated. Thanks Pavan __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Lost key assignments (backslash)
by Pierre Lor 01 Sep '03

01 Sep '03

Good morning, I have installed SuSE 8.2 pro on a machine with a belgian layout keyboard. My keyboard has been as followed configured: Section "InputDevice" Driver "Keyboard" Identifier "Keyboard[0]" Option "MapName" "Standard Keyboard [ pc104 ]" Option "Protocol" "Standard" Option "XkbLayout" "be" Option "XkbModel" "pc104" Option "XkbRules" "xfree86" EndSection In terminal mode (without X11 stuff) all works fine. But once under running under X11 I have lost the key with the < > and \ on it. At the SuSE support site they say to configure the keyboard as a pc105. It resolves my key assignment but by backslash becomes a '|'. Even stranger when I select my keyboard layout in de SuSE configuration panel and test my keyboard in the keyboard test screenfield it works ! And when I close the SuSE configuration it till works everywhere..... until I reboot. This behaviour occurs only under KDE. Other windowmanagers works fine Has somebody an idee on it ? Thanks a lot. ps. I have installed all latest patches from SuSE.
