HI I'm using SUSE 9.0. Whenever I run YaST to setup my printer it starts the printer configuration tool but it always hangs at the check environment after 18%. Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this. Thanks Kelly

Mailing lists in kaddressbook
by Paul W. Abrahams 14 Jan '04

Is there a way to build a mailing list in Kaddressbook? Entering anything other than an individual seems very awkward. Is there an alternative to Kaddressbook that has that capability? Paul Abrahams

Importing kde2 address lists into Kaddressbook
by Paul W. Abrahams 14 Jan '04

14 Jan '04

Kaddressbook has a function for importing kde2 address lists. However, there's no way I can find to specify the location of the address list to be imported, and in my environment merely clicking on the function did nothing. Does anyone know where Kaddressbook looks for the old list to be imported? Paul Abrahams

My KDE feels bad.
by Robert Cabane 14 Jan '04

Hello. I recently installed SuSE 9.0 (and it works for the most). However, I can't launch some kde utilities from the konsole, e.g. : bob@Dudule:~> kcontrol kcontrol: error while loading shared libraries: libkdeui.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory (however, the kcontrol starts from the menu) bob@Dudule:~> kword kword: error while loading shared libraries: libkspell.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory (and kword doesn't start at all) bob@Dudule:~> kcmbell kcmbell: error while loading shared libraries: libqt.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory But I'm sure these libraries are there: bob@Dudule:~> ls /opt/kde3/lib/libkdeui* -l -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1412 2003-09-24 02:50 /opt/kde3/lib/libkdeui.la lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 2004-01-05 23:08 /opt/kde3/lib/libkdeui.so -> libkdeui.so.4.1.0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 2004-01-05 23:08 /opt/kde3/lib/libkdeui.so.4 -> libkdeui.so.4.1.0 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3236328 2003-09-24 03:33 /opt/kde3/lib/libkdeui.so.4.1.0 Perhaps should I reinstall something but what packages exactly ?

KMail: public key error message
by Albert 13 Jan '04

13 Jan '04

On some messages I get the following displayed just after the header: /Message was signed with unknown key 0xA7A33F3FF4BF2568. The validity of the signature cannot be verified. Status: No public key to verify the signature/ Does this indicate that I have not configured KMail correctly? -- "Don't you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought?
