I apologise if you just received a ton of mail from me. I just tried KMail for the first time and it went nuts trying to send most of my mail from the last few months! Joss -- http://www.josswinn.org/humour.html

KDE 2.1.1 and sound (buzzing!)
by Joss Winn 26 Apr '01

26 Apr '01

Hi, I've just updated to the latest KDE and now I get a buzzing in the speaker channel of my iMac DV SE. The only way I can get rid of the buzzing is to mute the speaker but that doesn't do a lot for my audio listening pleasure..... Any advice? Thanks very much Joss -- http://www.josswinn.org/humour.html

Do you know where you configure that stuff under KDE? > Are you using 7.1? I tested it in the help center before sending the message and it worked. Maybe you don't have all the docs installed. If you have 7.0, then it is explained in the README on CD1. Alternatively, you could search the online suse support database for keyword 'mouse emulation'. It's something you have to do at an X Windows level and not in KDE. It's here: http://sdb.suse.de/sdb/en/html/poeml_mouse_buttons_emulation.html Joss

by Shawn Gordon 23 Apr '01

23 Apr '01

I Got Suse 7.1 installed no problem, but can't seem to get yaboot.conf to work, it just freezes up with an obscure message on a gray window. Anyone with a stock TiBook and SuSE 7.1 willing to share their yaboot.conf file? thanks Regards, Shawn Gordon President theKompany.com www.thekompany.com 949-713-3276

What shall I try next to get any sort of Linux installed on my TiBook G4
by Heinz Nabielek 20 Apr '01

>FTP Directory: ftp://ftp.suse.com/%2f/pub/suse/ppc/boot/ > > Parent Directory > ..... > suseboot7.hqx. . . . . . . . . . Dec 4 16:07 15009k I have the new Titanium Powerbook G4 with three equally sized HFS+ partitions (20/3 GB), one for Mac OS 9.1, one for Mac OS X, and I would like to install Linux on another partition. Apples on-disk program does not allow changing partition. I refuse to use a commercial partitioning software (they keep insisting that you use their software in all future) and the MacOS9.1 CD cannot be used as a startup disk on the TiBook (works perfectly as startup disk on my old 6400). LinuxPPC2000 Q4 does work as startup disk, but hangs after 5 lines with booting .... What shall I try next to get any sort of Linux installed? Heinz
