I've tried all the previous posts on the list with regard the error with YOU. Signature check for patch info files failed. Cannot load patch information Patch gtk2-52597 Could anyone give me a definitive solution? 10.0 with a fresh box install via nfs. Identical installations work just fine. THanks and sorry about the repetitive thread.

backspace key and TERM var
by Mark Hounschell 31 Mar '06

Can anyone tell me which terminal type to set the env TERM variable to that would give be an 0x08 instead of a 0x7f when I hit the backspace key on SuSE-10.0? In konsole when I select the vt420pc terminal type it does the job. I need to do the same thing on a normal linux console. Thanks Mark

E-mail Problem
by Arthur System Admin 31 Mar '06

Hi everybody, As a novice to linux please forgive if this mail is to the wrong group and direct me to a more appropriate one. I have recently acquired and installed SUSE 9.2 - Using Yast2 I configured Fetchmail to collect my e-mails from my ISP, and process them through AMAVIS (antivirus) however initially these were not delivered to my Kmail mailbox. I think (hope) this has now been resolved however I am aware that a vast quantity of "missing" mail is still un-delivered and apparently sitting in a /var/spool/amavis/tmp directory - Can anyone suggest how I can retrieve this mail ? -- Its not the way that you say it, when you do those things to me Its more the way that you mean it, when you tell those things to me

Google has given me this: http://www.novell.com/linux/security/securitysupport.html with this link: http://www.novell.com/linux/security/suse_security.xml that i'm reading via Sage. The feed just shows the "subject line" of each announcement, you'll have to open the browser window to see what's all about.

Kmixer runaway

Hi all, Ever since I've been playing with the i8k utilities to make the friggin' fans on my Dell Latitude d800 a bit quieter I've had weird issues. Chief of these is the habit of KDE to spawn off about a gazillion kmixers, until I stop it by killing -9 kdeinit? This happens both as a user and as root. Renaming .kde doesn't help: I still get them. Anyone got a suggestion? -- Met vriendelijke groet / Kind regards, Bert Plat / Brainshare blog & pics @ www.bertplat.nl -- Met vriendelijke groet / Kind regards, Bert Plat <www.bertplat.net> So act that your principle of action might safely be made a law for the whole world. -- Immanuel Kant You must be the change you wish to see in the world.

Why isn't there OpenSUSE on SPARC?
by Mello 31 Mar '06

31 Mar '06

Hi All, maybe the question is silly and/or I was unable to find an answer but, why the development of SUSE Linux on SPARC has been discontinued? Are there any plans to (re)start such a thing? Although other *nix flavours exist I'd love to install SUSE on my Sun w.s. :) Thanks, -mw

krazy konsole
by Bob S 31 Mar '06

31 Mar '06

Hey there SuSE people, Have a strange and incosistent thing that happens. Doesn't seem to cause any problems but sure like to know why it happens. My computer is named "EasyStreet". 3 out of 4 times when I boot up my Konsole is identified as EasyStreet. On other occasions the Konsole comes up as "private". Can su to root and still comes up as "private". Everything works like it is supposed to. ??????? Where/why is this coming from. What is determining how the Konsole should start/run I do have a group named private that only I as the exclusive user can access. Don't understand why that would change things/make a difference though. Not a big deal but certainly is strange. Bob S.

Just installed SuSE 10
by Cody Nelson 31 Mar '06

31 Mar '06

I just installed SuSE 10 last night, (I was using suse 9.2, and have used 8, 7.2, 6.4) However I have two issues: 1. Sound works with kde start up and ping/poobs, etc. But I am unable to hear music any other way such as listening to music using the default music player, or from gaim. 2. Also last night when I did the install I never saw the question being asked about where to put grub, and mbr, etc. And now I can not get into windows. The option is there, it is still pointed to /dev/sda1, but I get an error from windows. I tried a few things, and I still cant'. Kind of important to me as I do play games still, and I have a software raid scsi set up from windows that I need access to. Anyone able to help point me in the right direction? I am going to see if I can restore the MBR to pre-install once I am off work. (I thought I enabled VNC so I could do it from work, but it looks liek I didn't open a hole in the firewall) Thank you guys much!

selective NAT possible?
by Tathagata Banerjee 31 Mar '06

31 Mar '06

i have installed opensuse 10 on the gateway of a medium-sized network. i want the gateway to be able to do packet forwarding and ip masquerading for only some hosts of the internal network (172.16.0.0/16). in other words, i want to share the internet connection with only those clients that i select. using acl-s in squid in not the answer, because i want to control *all* traffic, not only http or ftp. can this be done using free/opensource software? i am not an advanced net admin, so if the answer involves advanced topics, please try to provide some tutorial links too. thanks. - t. -- cogito, ergo es.
