kmail accented characters
by scc 02 Dec '01

02 Dec '01

Hi kmail SuSE 7.3 prints a ? instead of an accented character eg ? when wiewed after sending. There is a message 'not all the characters fit into the chosen encoding. As I write mainly Spanish this is a problem. Can anyone see the accented a above? Is it something to do with the charset? I hace usascii at the moment. Thanks, Steve.

7.3 on Toshiba 5005-S504
by Harry Reinert 02 Dec '01

02 Dec '01

Hello all - I am trying to install SuSE 7.3 on a Toshiba 5005-S504. The installation hangs, unless I do a manual install. It seems to halt at a message "searching infofile ...." or something like that. (I'm doing this from memory.) I finally managed to get through the entire installation process using the manual installation option. However, the system now hangs on the PCMCIA script and I have to shut down and restart the computer. I have booted into linux using the "linux single" command on the LILO prompt. At that point, if I stop PCMCIA and then attempt to restart it, I get a kernel panic message and the machine locks up again. I cannot figure out how to disable PCMCIA in the boot script. Booting up with linux single does not allow me to run YAST and the Linux partitions are mounted RO. I would appreciate any suggestions on how to get me past this roadblock. Thanks, Harry

Firewall Router & ADSL
by Helgi Örn Helgason 02 Dec '01

02 Dec '01

Hello all! I've just got myself a Sircom firewall router with a built in 4-port switching hub to share the Telia ADSL connection between my stationary and my laptop. I got SuSE 7.3 on both plus W98 on the laptop and W2k on the stationary. So far the Intenet connection is up and running for both the Windows OS's but I haven't been able to get it together in the SuSE's. When trying to get to the login page in a browser I get *Unknown host login1.telia.com*. My problem is that I know next to nothing about networking so I'm stuck, RTFM hasn't been of any help either. Can someone give me a helping hand? Personal firewall is install but turned off. DHCP is installed, so I guess I have to change the config because of the DHCP protocol inside the router? Cheers, Helgi Örn

samba print server
by scc 02 Dec '01

02 Dec '01

Hi everyone. We'd like to have a separate file and print server, at the moment one box does both. Do we just delete the [printers] section on the existing server and have only that in smb.conf on the print server. Or has the [global] stuff got to go on both? Thanks, Steve.

Newbie: Modem not working
by Stephen 01 Dec '01

01 Dec '01

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, I am new to Unix/Linux but wanted to try using it after using Redhat atcollege. I brought SuSE after recommendations from my Tutor who said the college only has Redhat because he arrived afte it had been purchased, also Linux Format seemed to indicate that SuSE was very good. I have installed SuSE now along side Win2K and like it alot, but it (SusSE) doesn't pickup my modem. I had the same problem with NT (one of the reasons why I moved to 2K). It is a PCI modem, but definetly NOT a WinModem, my brother made sure of this when he brought it.. Can someone help me! I don't know how to get it configured, I looked through the reference manual that comes with SuSE but I'm really confused. - -- risc.os <risc.os(a)ntlworld.com> Risc OS - Powered by ARM Please use my public PGP/GnuPG Key: 0x262D7ED1 - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (MingW32) Comment: Powered By Becky! 2 iD8DBQE8BMOH2pV7HyYtftERApTHAJsHv/cz40luH6z2bQMHXeHX0n10swCeP6Q2 Mcx46bFH+mzAWxz3bOkb92Q= =JIwl -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- risc.os <risc.os(a)ntlworld.com> Risc OS - Powered by ARM Please use my public PGP/GnuPG Key: 0x262D7ED1 --

xawtv and frequencies
by Constant Brouerius van Nidek 01 Dec '01

01 Dec '01

I have the latest stable xawtv installed on my Suse 7.2. Does somebody know why there are only two frequency lists in the xawtv package and where they are used for. The choices in xawtv are 3 cable and 12 broadcast ranges. Does xawtv uses these frequency ranges? Is the sound frequency always a certain value away from the image frequency and would playing around with sound frequency in such a list influence the sound reception, in other words, could I get sound by playing around with the distance between the two frequencies? At the moment I have a good image but the sound is some 20 ticks away from the accompanying picture.

How about if you send 2 jobs from the server itself? What makes you think it's anything to do with Samba?
