Hi all Well after a lengthy struggle I finally managed to get a dreaded Lucent winmodem working, and here I am. I have played around with kde2 and found most applications very unstable. has anyone updated kde2 from the Suse FTP server ? Did it make any difference? I had a look at the FTP site but find it too confusing to attempt a download. What is the correct location to update kde2 and what files are actually needed. If anyone has attempted and succeeded with the update please let me know. Kind regards Mark -- Mark R. Annandale SuSE Linux 7.0 Kmail 1.0.29.2

I did an update a couple of days ago to kde2.1beta2 from one of the kde.org mirrors so far looks good. Konquerer is very fast. Koffice was not included in that update so I cannot comment for it. Yet I still use Kde1.1.2 as my primary desktop. (beta is for testing only not for working -- Togan Muftuoglu
I share your experience. I loaded the updates from the ftp site and it was much more stable. Take a look at: ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/KDE2/update_for_7.0 This contains the updates that worked for me. Hope this helps! On Fri, 2 Feb 2001, Mark Annandale wrote:

Today I installed KDE2 from the Linux Magazine January1 issue (UK) CD-ROM on a SuSE 7.0 box, there is a seperate SuSE package. It installed, and seems to run, flawlessly. Cheers, ei On Friday 02 February 2001 19:58, Mark Annandale wrote:

After getting the winmodem working I lost it again after running SuSEconfig a few days later. Had to retrace my steps to get it going again! Any ideas how this can be avoided ? On Fri, 02 Feb 2001, you wrote:

You can disable SuSE via /etc/rc.config, however this may make the effort of maintaining your system that much harder. Can you basically link out what you did? Maybe we can then find which part of SuSEconfig maybe responsible for overwriting the Winmodem config. Matt On Friday 02 February 2001 02:31 pm, Roy Leembruggen wrote:

Yes the part that SuSE 'reset' was the modem link - the device set for the Lucent modem was /dev/ttyLT0 whereas the default for SuSE apparently is /dev/ttyS0 or /dev/ttyS1 to which /dev/modem is linked. So when SuSE reset the /dev/modem link to /dev/ttyS1 (in my case) my modem became inop ! On Sat, 03 Feb 2001, you wrote:
