KMail does not work on (suse)linux/ppc
by Roman Engelmayer 11 Oct '01

11 Oct '01

Hi! As I remember some time ago, there was a discussion, that kmail from KDE2.2 didn't work an SuSE for PowerPC. As this wasn't fixed in KDE 2.2.1 I have filed a bugreport to the KDE project. However they seem not to be very cooperative. So I would like to know if I am the only one with this problems, if there is a easy workaround, and if someone from SuSE could look into this.

Why from kde/kmail? The SuSE-ppc RPMs were created by SuSE and I don't even have a PowerPC so I can't help you. Please complain to SuSE about trouble with their RPMs. Regards, Michael Haeckel _______________________________________________ Kmail Developers mailing list Kmail(a)mail.kde.org http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kmail ------------------------------------------------------- -- Microsoft is to operating systems & security .... .... what McDonalds is to gourmet cooking

Help - Preserving disk data during installation
by Pedro Ziviani 09 Oct '01

09 Oct '01

I have purchased a copy of SuSE Linux 7.1 PPC edition just a few days ago and I need help regarding the system's installation. My system is an Apple Powerbook G3 (Pismo series, the one with Firewire and DVD). The hard disk is partitioned as follows: Total capacity: 16Gb 1st Partition: MacOS X (HFS+) 10Gb 2nd Partition: MacOS 9 (HFS+) 3Gb Free space on disk: 3Gb I was planing to install SuSE Linux on the 3Gb free space at the end of the hard disk, but I couldn't find any instruction on the manual that would allow me to do so without losing all data on the other two partitions. Is it possible to re-partition the free space on the disk onto the three partitions required by SuSE Linux? Please advise on how this can be done.

Qt compile errors
by Bob Torres 07 Oct '01

07 Oct '01

Hi, I've been trying to compile some applications for KDE2, and whenever I do, I inevitably get the following error at the ./configure step: checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 2.2.2) (libraries) not found. Please check your installation! I *do* have Qt though, and even the right version. FWIW, I'm running PPC 7.2, with the newest KDE 2.2.1 RPMs from the SuSE FTP site. Does SuSE put them in some non-standard place? If so, can I resolve the problem with sym links?

Linux on Daystar Genesis - Quad processor SUCCESS!
by George Herndon 05 Oct '01

05 Oct '01

Hi, I've had some luck with linux ppc running on my Daystar Genesis - quad 225 (604e's). I'm currently running SuSE 7.1 with one of Dan Burcaw's 2.4.8smp variants. I've experimented with several, including the default 2.4.2smp and have instability in all, including my current setup. What I'm looking for is a rock solid setup. The kernel doesn't have to be the latest, but I don't want to get any kernel panics. I'm not tied to one distro or another, but if anyone has had luck running SMP on old-world 9500ish boxes, please let me know. A big thanks to Dan and all the other developers working to support the linux on ppc users out there. -George

Ps Prinzter on ethernet port
by Christian.Grosche＠t-online.de 05 Oct '01

05 Oct '01

Hi I have got a G3 Mac Powerbook, and I would like to print on a ps printer. It is a Okipage 12i printer. I know that it work under Intel SuSE with the parallel port, but my Mac has only USB and ethernet ports for printers. I am using SuSE 7.1 Linux PPC. Can somebody tell me, how to configure such a printer (e.g. with Yast): Ps printer on the ethernet port with SuSE 7.1 Linux PPC. ________________________________________________________ The printer is contected to the Mac via a Hub, because the Mac OS requires that. I would be grateful for any help. Christian -- Christian Grosche: Christian.Grosche(a)t-online.de

Re: Install Open-Office

Hi, As per the announcement you need 2.2.1 or higher. According to the output, you are using glibc 2.2 and not glibc 2.2.1 or higher. > glibc version: 2.2 > sh : /tmp/sv001.tmp/setup : No such file or directory. I am sure there is a new ppc suse distribution or an upgrade you can use. Please check on the suse website for info on upgrading glibc or the entire distribution. Kevin
