My SuSE 9.1 machine currently has the KDE 3.2.1 desktop. Is it worth the bother to update it to 3.2.3? What improvements are there in the latest update? Where is the best place to get a YOU download and installation? Thanks dj tuchler

In 8.2 there was a graphical boot loader screen. In 9.1 the default is not graphical. Can this be changed? CWSIV

Re: [SLE] Adding a secondary IP onto NIC

Drew, You appear to have found a bug in the ifup script of SuSE 9.1. The bug is not specific to the loopback device. Try "ifup eth0:1" with an ifcfg-eth0:1 file in /etc/sysconfig/network. Same error. However, the following work: ifconfig lo:1 192.168.13.99 Also ifconfig eth0:1 210.0.0.99 HTH, Jeffrey Quoting Drew Como <hvisuals(a)yahoo.com>: > Jeff, > > Actually, this didn't work.

update locate
by Bob S. 06 Jul '04

06 Jul '04

Hello SuSE folk, How does one get locate to update itself? ie: I use locate to find a bunch of files I want to delete. I go and delete those files/packages, do another locate, and it still shows the files/packages. A check back to the affected folders shows that it is gone. Somewhat frustrating. Bob S.

I have apache2 and openssl installed and am trying to work out what to do next. I have certificates from www.kcmria.com three of them. One ending in .csr another ends in .key and the third with .cert. I have 443 open on my firewall. What do I do next? All the references on google seem to be for directories that don't exist on SuSE 9.1. Is there a simple stage by stage howto or am I getting close enough to be able to get help from the list? TIA Steve.

Promise TX4000 SATA controller & SuSE 9.1
by Chris Purcell 06 Jul '04

06 Jul '04

I'm currently running SuSE 9.0 and have an Asus motherboard with a built-in Promise TX4000 SATA controller with one SATA drive attached. If I do an upgrade to SuSE 9.1, will I lose the data on my disks? Does it even work with SuSE 9.1 and the 2.6 kernel? I'm not doing any kind of RAID obviously since I only have 1 disk installed. Thanks, Chris

Need a little advice after upgrading to KDE 3.2.3
by Tim Erickson 06 Jul '04

06 Jul '04

Hello; I'm new to SuSE (V9.0) having come over from ten years on OS/2. I recently upgraded my KDE to 3.2.3 and while nearly everything worked out I do have a problem. With the upgrade Konqueror no longer opens downloaded RPMs into the install RPMs window ( lacking a better description) where I could install the new file via YAST2. New behavior has the file opened in Kpackage but Kpackage simply hangs and I must kill it to clear it off my desktop. How can I return Konqueror to its previous behavior? Thanks for any help. Tim

Avoiding ISO/UTF-8 trouble... ?
by Jon Clausen 03 Jul '04

03 Jul '04

Hi there Current situation: Server: 8.2 - mainly acting as smb-server for Clients: Win-98 (mostly, occasional xp visitor) 8.2 Now, the boss wants me to upgrade his workstation to 9.1 I have 9.1 on my laptop, and I'm having trouble with the danish characters when I ssh into the server (can't access files/directories with danish chars in the name) Question is; What's the smoothest way to have 9.1 function properly in this situation - let 9.1 use UTF-8 and change locale && convmv files on the server? (What happens with Samba?) - keep ISO-encoding on the server and have 9.1 use this also? Upgrading the server is no option at this time, but upgrading Samba would be o.k. (I seem to remember Samba 3.x being mentioned in connection with UTF) I'm leaning towards introducing UTF all over, but just need some feedback on potential pitfalls/solutions... TIA /Jon -- Whatever rocks your boat!

Soundfonts
by BandiPat 03 Jul '04

03 Jul '04

9.1 users, Did anyone ever figure out why YaST2 doesn't find the soundfonts from the Creative cds when ask to load soundfonts? I thought maybe something had been corrected with a recent update of something, but it still seems unable to locate the fonts or load them. thx, Lee -- --- KMail v1.6.2 --- SuSE Linux Pro v9.1 --- Registered Linux User #225206 On any other day, that might seem strange...

Problems with permissions
by Carl William Spitzer IV 03 Jul '04

03 Jul '04

Changing the attributes of files is not supported with protocol drives Using the Mycomputer icon I tried to fix the permissions on floppy and the USB flash. What does this mean? Do I hack fstab or fix permissions as root? CWSIV
