Monitor problem after system left overnight.
by Robert A. Rawlinson 18 Nov '04

I have an older pc with an old slot II Celeron processer. It all seems ok. During the day when it goes into screen saver a small mouse movement brings it right back OK. But when it is left over night and I give it a mouse movement it comes back after a few min. with the screen seeming to vibrate and the mouse no longer will move. I can't do anything with it so I have to power down and restart it. It has an Nvidia MX-200 video card. Has anyone else run into this? Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks Bob

Have not found manpages for kdeinit and my web connection is so bad that a Google for the moment is not possible. Therefor to the list, why is kdeinit running four times with different pid numbers on my 9. box? Is that normal?

Samba
by Marek Pawinski 15 Nov '04

Hi I have samba set up and can see the Windows machine but can not write to it. I try to change the permisions on the Suse machine's /mnt point but they stay the same. Then i try to browse the network from the Windows machine and nothing, the Suse machine does not show up at all. What am i missing here as i have the same settings i use with other distros which work. I disable my firewall and to no avail. Must say nfs was a breeze with Suse 9.1, just this samba is giving me grief. Marek

Asus A8V motherboard and SuSE 9.1
by grdnwsl＠mrichi.com 11 Nov '04

Quick question, Has anyone had any experience with running SuSE 9.1 on an Asus A8V motherboard? I'm currently considering building a new Athlon 64 machine using this motherboard and I want to make sure things are supported. Sound doesn't matter on this machine, but I need to make sure things like the SATA controller and the NIC are supported under 9.1 Any info is appreciated. Thanks. -- Preston Kutzner Network Administrator Marketing Resources, Inc.

Removing attachements from stored mails
by Carlos E. R. 09 Nov '04

09 Nov '04

Hi, Pine has a nice feature (a bit hidden) that allows removing an attachement from any loaclly stored email in a mbox folder, leaving a text like this: | [ Part 2: "Deleted Attachment" ] | | [ The following attachments were DELETED when this message was saved: ] | [ A Application/X-GUNZIP segment of about 1,422,562 bytes, ] However, the name of the attachement is lost. I once wrote a little app to delete the attachement (I only got to beta status), but I lost it time ago, or at least i can not find it. I'd have to redo it, and it could only remove, not save the file. I wonder if such a thing does exist? Or if some other mail program can do the trick? Perhaps formail, but no idea how (yes, I have read the man). Google... I have never learnt to use it, and my network connection is temporary and paid by the minute. I prefer human persons and knowhow :-) Even a library for programmers would help a bit. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson [ The following attachments were DELETED when this message was saved: ] [ A Application/X-GUNZIP segment of about 1,422,562 bytes, ]

I *finally* learned to wait until I get plenty of feedback from this list before attempting anything. I tried both 9 & 9.1 and only 9 mostly worked. (Found out I had a bad CD-RW/DVD drive & that didn't help, of course.) I finally FTPd the 9.1 this past week and it seems the bugs have been mostly squashed, thank goodness. Less problems, but still not problem-free. ...Nor is Windoze. <G> __________________ Well, if things go well in tomorrow's install, and I can get my Kodak CX??00 camera working with 9.2, I'll be cleaning my Windoze - right off the hard drive. ;) don -- Web Developer Matheteuo Christian Fellowship webdev(a)matheteuo.org http://matheteuo.org/ Free software is like God's love - you can share it with anyone anywhere anytime!

LPRng and Mozilla - printing problem
by Zvone Zagar 06 Nov '04

06 Nov '04

Hi! I use SuSE 9.1 on two machines. Today I have found an interesting issue. I cannot print from Mozilla (regardless of version), FireFox or Opera (including version 7.54 from opera.com) if I use LPRng. Using CUPS there is no problem. But Netscape 7.1 and Konqueror don't complain. In /var/log/messages is an entry: Dispatch_input: bad request line 'POST /HTTP/1.1'. If I start printing the named browsers stop. In Mozilla I tried the 'old' print command lpr -Pprinter. The result is the same. As soon as I activate the print command, Mozilla stops responding. When I run 'rcldp restart' the browser responds again. I must say that under SuSE 9.0 everything is OK. Printing from CLI , OpenOffice.org and other applications presents no problem. I would appreciate any clue. Regards Zvone Zagar
