Hi: Ok. I did it again. I changed kprinter's system options and left the server and port blank for the cups configuration. Now kprinter tries to start the cups server everytime I call it, and it will hang forever. Needless to say, it won't print. Anybody knows where kprinter stores it's configuration so I can restore that information? Thank you. -- Alfredo J. Cole Grupo ACyC

Why not just put the server and port info back into kprinter's system options? If you're running kprinter on the same machine where the cups server daemon is running, just fill in 'localhost' and '631'. -- Andreas Philipp Noema Ltda. Bogotá, D.C. - Colombia http://www.noemasol.com

I would if I could only get kprinter to let me do that. You can try this: Go into System Options->Cups Server and erase the server and port information. Click on Accept and then restart kprinter. It will hang forever. Thank you. -- Alfredo J. Cole Grupo ACyC

No, it din't work for me either. I found that out breaking my system just like you did. But I found out how to fix it again. Go to ~/.kde/share/config and edit kdeprintrc.

Does anyone know how to make susehelp build-search-index keep the search- indexes it labels MISSING after selecting and building those _between_ kde sessions? I couldn't find any solutions in susehelp, this lists archives or /usr/share/doc/packages/. + one thread in the 5600+ most recent posts to this list, "KDE Help Center (susehelp index)", looked at a related problem briefly but never came to a solution. (The list archives are too difficult to search online.) + /usr/share/doc/packages/susehelp/README only offers brief info on khelpcenter, and how to set-up web-server version or documentation center + /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/khelpcenterrc contains the following, but i got lost on my first trip into the meta subdirectory (will try again): [General] MetaInfoDirs=/usr/share/susehelp/meta [Search] IndexDirectory=/var/cache/susehelp/ [Templates] MainTemplate=/usr/share/susehelp/khelpcenter.template + /var/cache/susehelp/ contains various .conf, .db, .index, .exists and .docdb files from my latest rebuild, but only the ones with readable names do not get re-labelled as "MISSING" after a KDE session is ended/re-started -- ie suse admin and users guides, release notes, kde_application_manuals.

Better than using your favorite web browser? I do most of my Java program code editing using jEdit, and it has modules that can facilitate access to JavaDoc HTML, if I recall.

Because the software comes from Sun and is part of the Java SDK which has its own documentation suite, mainly in HTML.

SuSE 9.3 includes gcj, which is the Gnu Compiler system front-end and libraries for Java. It is incomplete w.r.t. to the full set of Java libraries and standard extensions.

If you're just getting started with Java, the GCJ will only be a considerable further complication. I'd avoid it for now, since it's extremely unlikely that it gives you anything you really need right now (e.g., static native compilation).
SuSE 9.3 also includes Jikes, the pedantic compiler from IBM:
jikes-1.22-3
No jikes installed. If gcj doesn't do the trick, i'll try that later...
Jikes is compatible with the Sun compilers and the full language. It compiles faster (well, at one time it did, but Sun's javac has improved a lot in recent years) and as I hinted, is extremely unforgiving about the details of the Java Language Specification. That's probably its main claim to fame.

When I can find anything in the SuSE Admin or User guides via SuSEhelp/KDEHCenter searches, the results displayed are like this: SUSE LINUX Administration Guide SUSE LINUX 9.3 (03/15/05) [<- a uri link] Obviously, that's not very informative. Mousing over the uri link will reveal the filename of the page, eg, for the above search on "xsltproc" the uri is this: file:///usr/share/doc/manual/suselinux-adminguide_en/html/sec.update.version.html Still not very useful. Is there any way to force susehelp to display a meaningful page title or some search-result context? Are the results any more informative if susehelp is set up to work via web-server (ie http://localhost/susehelp)?

No, it fails on most searches on my system.

I can now run manual searches on it ("search options" in the local browse page). But the global search still doesn't work, any search produces this output: Search Results for 'partition' Release Notes Documents 1 - 1 of 1 matches: * Release Notes for SUSE LINUX 9.3 (03/23/05) SUSE LINUX Administration Guide Htdig error: Unable to read configuration file <========================== which is the same result as always.
