SuSE 9.2 Pro and Touchpad Issues
by cms 25 Sep '05

25 Sep '05

Hello all, Just received my copy of SuSE 9.2 Pro and completed a clean install on my Toshiba Satellite 2435 laptop. For whatever reason, the laptop's touchpad was not detected/installed correctly. Using the laptop has become extremely difficult. The mouse opens *almost* every window and app that it trails over and hardware clicking/tapping doesn't work. I don't recall what driver I've used in the past with SuSE and this laptop--truth is, I never looked. Currently I'm using the generic PS/2 Mouse (Aux-Port) driver as indicated in the Hardware section of YaST's Control Center and the touchpad is somewhat functional, albeit with irritating side effects. With previous versions of SuSE the touchpad was detected/configured correctly and without my intervention. Anyone using SuSE 9.2 with a similar machine? Searches on SuSE's Support Portal turned up zero articles related to ALPS Touchpad devices. This is a snippet of dmesg, related to the mouse/touchpad: ------- SNIP ------- mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard on isa0060/serio0 alps.c: E6 report: 00 00 64 alps.c: E7 report: 73 02 0a alps.c: E6 report: 00 00 64 alps.c: E7 report: 73 02 0a alps.c: Status: 15 01 0a ALPS Touchpad (Glidepoint) detected Disabling hardware tapping alps.c: Status: 11 01 0a input: AlpsPS/2 ALPS TouchPad on isa0060/serio4 input: PC Speaker md: md driver 0.90.0 MAX_MD_DEVS=256, MD_SB_DISKS=27 ------- SNIP ------- Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

CD Drive keeps opening
by Thomas Wedehase 29 Nov '04

29 Nov '04

Hello List I am having trouble keeping my CD Drive closed. After I upgraded to Suse 9.2 (inclusive all YOU Updates). Since the installation my CD Drive keeps popping out. In other window managers, the problem does not occur. I also noticed that the little "ball" in front of the audiocd -entry in the konquerer is flashing all the time. Can anyone help me with some advise? Greetings from cold Germany Thomas

Kmail purge and auto expiry
by Eric Wagar 28 Nov '04

28 Nov '04

Ok, so I have an IMAP account now, and I need to purge my deleted messages. Is this the "compact" menu item when I right click on the folder? I see in some message from the Debian list that it is, and to make it "automagic" to select something in the KMail setup. Unfortunately, I don't see the "Settings->Miscellaneous->Compact all folders on exit" that's referenced in the Debian post. Second, how exactly does the "Auto Expiry" (right click on folder -> Properties -> Old Message Expiry) function work? I have several high traffic lists set to expire, and they should be expiring and expunged/purged. Unfortunately, I don't see that happening. Any ideas? Thanks eric

Outlook pst files into KMail
by Eric Wagar 27 Nov '04

27 Nov '04

Is there a way to get Outlook pst files into KMail? I see options for Outlook Express (OE), but I don't see one for Outlook. I just tried loading the Outlook files and KMail complains that it doesn't see any OE pst files. Any ideas? I am sure I can't be the only one that want to drop the evil ones! :) eric

KMAIL and 'line-break' SuSE 9.2
by Markus Rassiller 26 Nov '04

26 Nov '04

Hi, after setting the 'line-break' to 78 hits in the menue, the lines don't switch going beyond this 78-hit-frontier; the writing goes endlessly on to the right. Can anybody help, please? Thanks. -- Markus Rassiller Universität zu Köln Institut für dt. Sprache und Literatur Albertus-Magnus Platz 50923 Köln

KMail taking long subscribing with IMAP
by Eric Wagar 24 Nov '04

24 Nov '04

I have a ~/mail dir that is 2.4G in size. How long should it take for KMail 1.7.1 to sync where I can subscribe? Also, is there a way where I can subscribe the whole of ~/mail without having to subscribe to each file/folder? If not, then it will take me forever to click on everything. Both servers are slower SGI's with IMAP, and the client is a 2.8G P4 laptop. This is all over 100BT. Thanks eric

Konqueror: Fehler beim Laden von Webseiten
by Falk Seiler 22 Nov '04

22 Nov '04

Guten Abend, ich erhalte neuerdings beim Klicken auf weiterführende Links die Fehlermeldung, daß die aufgerufene Datei nicht existiert. Wenn ich das Fenster mit der Fehlermeldung neu lade, komme ich aber auf die entprechende Seite. Seiten, deren Adresse ich direkt in die Adreßzeile eingebe, werden sofort angezeigt. Ich habe einmal zum Testen einen neuen Nutzer angelegt; da klappt es auch. Über einen Hinweis zur Abhilfe würde ich mich sehr freuen, Falk

KDE 3.3.0 and CDWriter odd behaviour
by Jim Hamilton 22 Nov '04

22 Nov '04

Hi, I thought I would run this query around this group in case some one has an idea of where to go next. I have just installed SuSE 9.2 and have it running reasonably well except for an irritating problem with a cdwriter. The drawer of the CDwriter keeps opening, a bit like the eject command has been run on the device. I have the second ide channel running a DVD rom /dev/hdc and a CDWriter /dev/hdd. With some help from the SLE list and Donn I have discovered that if I run any other environment other tahn kde the drive drawer will not open. eg Gnome or fvwm2. The DVD does not have a problem. Any hints welcome. -- Jim Hamilton Perth, Western Australia

Addressbook error.
by Fred A. Miller 21 Nov '04

21 Nov '04

Does anyone know how to "fix" the addressbook?! Any editing of a contact or deleting of one only appears to have worked. Once you save the addressbook, quit, and then bring it up again, the "old" contact is as it was. I've about given up trying to fix this.....can't find what file and where to kill, change permissions on, or whatever!
