*newbie* How to install HOME in separate partition?
by Andy Yankovich 11 Apr '05

11 Apr '05

Hi again, I'm trying to set up my home directory in a separate partition that will be accessible to both 9.2 (now) and later to 9.3 (when it arrives). I have burned all my current /home/ data into a CD. I want to practice by re-installing 9.2 on a clean hard drive (clean other than having WinXP in hda1). 1. During the re-install, what do I do to have the installation install the /home/ directory into a separate partition? *OR* 2. Should I install the /home/ data from my CD onto a separate partition before I re-install from scratch? If THIS is the case, How do I not install the home directory during the re-install? And how do I firsst install the CD into that specific directory? 3. In either of the two choices above, do I need to have some kind of linkage from one partition to another? And do I have to have a different kind of link when I install 9.3? Could someone explain to a newbie how 9.2 in hda3 would know to put the proper data in /home/ that resides in hda4. And If 9.3 goes into hda5, is that going to work also? I truly have read and read - until I got sooo mixed up. I need this practical application with having the home directory in a separate partition because it will help me understand better. Thank you guys a whole lot. Andy

favicon in konqueror missing
by Richard Bos 09 Apr '05

Hi, how come that konqueror does not show my favicon, while firefox and mozilla do? # file favicon.ico favicon.ico: ms-windows icon resource - 1 icon The file $HOME/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/faviconrc does not contain the sitename that provides the favicon. The site is not reachable from the internet. Still wondering... -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless

Hi I have suse9.2 on 2 different hosts (server and workstation). The server does not have a display, the workstation has. I want to start programs on the server via workstation. These programs have a gui interface and if I shutdown the workstation and restart it at a later point in time I want to connect to the already running program, respectively gui. -- Thanks for any help!

i tried: in /etc/X11/xorg.conf (which is used, i did a "ll -u /etc/X11/xorg.conf") Section "Monitor" [...] DisplaySize 336 270 [...] AND in /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers :0 local@tty1 /usr/X11R6/bin/X -nolisten tcp -br vt7 -dpi 97 but a ll -u /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers shows me that it is never used BUT the result is always the same > xdpyinfo | grep -n5 dot 54-number of screens: 1 55- 56-screen #0: 57- print screen: no 58- dimensions: 2560x1024 pixels (678x271 millimeters) 59: resolution: 96x96 dots per inch 60- depths (7): 24, 1, 4, 8, 15, 16, 32 61- root window id: 0x188 62- depth of root window: 24 planes 63- number of colormaps: minimum 1, maximum 1 64- default colormap: 0x20 because /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers isnt used it is clear that it is no effect but why it does ignore the DisplaySize (i even tried DisplaySize 200 270 -> also ignored) is it because of i am using TwinView?

Problem with KDE Print
by Thomas Mohr 08 Apr '05

08 Apr '05

Dear Listmembers, I have a newly installed SuSE 9.2 with KDE 3.4.0 on my laptop. I want to print over a CUPS Server. The server is correctly installed vz. It works seamlessly with another laptop. However on my machine, when I click menu -> print system -> print manager, nothing happens. In Konqueror, klicking on services -> print system browser -> print manager, the print manager remains empty, i.e. no PDF, Fax, Printer. Any ideas ? Thanks a lot !

How override password for printer?
by Andy Yankovich 08 Apr '05

08 Apr '05

I stopped printing a long run by shutting off my Deskjet960c by pushing the start buttion on my printer. It was OK to do this on winxp but I guess not on linux-suse. I am running SuSE Pro 9.2 with just the basic (first time) updates. The result of shutting off the printer the way I did, was to put the print job as "queued". When I click on the print icon on desktop and get KJobViewer it shows the print job as queued and then I clicked "remove". And the result of that is the printer is turned off, And I cannot get it back on. I try fix it by start button (bad word)-> utilities -> printing ->printing manager -> and on Configure Printing Manager I click the column to right of "add" named "printer" and on the drop down menu click on the first item "start/stop printer" then click "start printer". Then I get the Authorization Dialog to enter user name and password. I have tried every combination of user names I have ever used (two) and every password I have ever used (three) and none work. Each time I get the message: Authorization KDE Daemon, authorization failed. After several tries I get the Error message: "Error - KDE control module: unable to modify the state of printer deskjet 960c. Error message received from manager. You are not authorized to access the requested source." I must restart computer to be able to try again. I have repeated this process several times. Short of re-installation, is there any way to remove that user name and password? Is there a "correct" way to turn off the printer when you don't want a long print run to continue? Thank you for helping. Andy

Hello list! If keeping other jobs live is not an issue using the 'fuser' utility on command line works almost immediately with no paper jams.

Hi, I applied the batch of KDE updates released by SuSE into the supplementary release area yesterday. Now I have smooth scrolling in KMail, and I don't like smooth scrolling. I can't find where or how it's controlled. If someone knows how to turn it off, I'd appreciate learning how. Thanks. Randall Schulz
