mounting floppy very slow in suse 9.0
by Chip Cooper 06 Apr '04

06 Apr '04

ever since I installed suse 9, mounting my floppy take much more time that it did in 8.2. It will mount, just very slow--it just seems to read and read the disk. Here is my etc/fstab info: > dev/hda6 / reiserfs > defaults 1 1 > /dev/hda1 /windows/C vfat > users,gid=users,umask=0002,iocharset=iso8859-1,code=437 0 0 > /dev/hdb1 /windows/D ntfs > ro,users,gid=users,umask=0002,nls=iso8859-1 0 0 > /dev/hdb5 /windows/F vfat > users,gid=users,umask=0002,iocharset=iso8859-1,code=437 0 0 > /dev/hda5 swap swap > pri=42 0 0 > devpts /dev/pts devpts > mode=0620,gid=5 0 0 > proc /proc proc > defaults 0 0 > usbdevfs /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs > noauto 0 0 > /dev/cdrecorder /media/cdrecorder auto > ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 > /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom auto > ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 > /dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto > noauto,user,sync 0 0 Any suggestions??

wireless adapter
by Matt Stamm 28 Mar '04

28 Mar '04

Hello, Can anyone recommend a wireless (802.11b) adapter that will work with Suse 8.1. I'm new to wireless. I'm using a Linksys router, which works fine. I checked out the Linksys web site to see if their wireless adapter supports Linux but saw no mention of it on the wireless adpaters. I downloaded the drivers for their adapter and it appears to be for Windows. I heard Belkin has adapters that support Linux. Any advice? Thanks, Matt

help with IMAP
by linuxjim 09 Mar '04

09 Mar '04

Hi, I'm completely new to imap. I'm running Suse 8.2 with KDE 3.2. I've installed imapd and have it running in xinetd, from the suse cd. I'm trying to get a mail client to connect, but have not been successful. I ran the openssl req..... as outlined in the suse help page and I think that worked fine. However I can't get a client to connect. I've tried both on internal IP address, and from external to IP domain. It advises that a connection could not be established. (I don't think this is relevant, but I've tried Outlook, Pegasus, and Thunderbird). I can telnet in from internal and external, and get OK [COMPATABILITY IMAP4REV1 STARTTLS LOGINDISABLED]..... From here I don't know what else to do or type. Any advice? Also, I don't know if the client should be configured to use direct SSL or StartTLS. Thanks for any advice. Jim Flanagan

Encryption question
by C Hamel 06 Mar '04

06 Mar '04

An acquintance & I are attempting some encryption. I am able to decrypt his notes but he cannot decrypt mine. We both have keys and have signed each others' key; I am encrypting using the recipient's key, yet he cannot decrypt my note. I certainly could use some guidance. I have already RTFM on several occasions and there is something I am certain that is getting by me. Thanks... -- ...CH SuSE Is All U Need Linux user# 313696 Linux box# 199365

Money Programs
by Rem P Roberti 05 Mar '04

05 Mar '04

Having doggedly made the transition from Windoz, there are only a couple of things more that I need in apps, one of them is a basic accounting program that is a little more functional (ie flexibility with respect to online downloads from banking institutions) than either gnucash or kmoney. Previous to this all my basic needs were filled via Quicken. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Rem

Is it possible to trace an email message routing?
by des 05 Mar '04

05 Mar '04

Is it possible to trace an email message routing? MS Outlook had a useful feature where one could see whether a message had arrived at the recipient, if it had been read/rejected etc. Is it possible to do this? I am currently using KMail. Many thanks, Des Aubery... (www.adtherm.com - des(a)adtherm.com)

kjots

Thanks for the Yast help, and kjots works to a degree. Sometimes a new book will strangely dissapear. At startup from command line the following errors: Ellie@linux:~/dc> kjots QLayout "unnamed" added to QButtonGroup "ButtonGroup_2", which already has a layout kdecore (KAction): WARNING: KAction::plugAccel(): call to deprecated action. kdecore (KAction): WARNING: KAction::plugAccel(): call to deprecated action. I am close to uninstalling- but -any one have a better idea? Not crazy about knotes but it looks stable. Thanks ellie
