[SuSE Linux] StarOffice As User - Off Topic
by hflaxman＠meganet.net 11 Nov '98

11 Nov '98

I've gotten my staroffice 5.0 installed properly. Now, the only user on the system that can run it is root. When I try to use it from a user account, soffice just starts a script that tries to repair the system. When I use the same link... soffice, as root, it starts the program. Do I need to modify permissions here? If so, how. It's strange that the same link will start the program as root. Thanks.

10 Nov '98

Finally got the StarOffice install to work only to find out that my registration code is invalid. I lost the darned url for the site (in English). Can someone kindly forward the info to me on the list? I've tried searching around, but only get pages in German. Thanks.

[SuSE Linux] 100MHz-Motherboard Support ??
by oliver.m＠usa.net 10 Nov '98

10 Nov '98

Hello, after having searched the Linux site database to no avail, I am wondering which 100MHz-Motherboards (SuperSockel 7) are supported by Linux v5.3. Especially the following boards are of interest to me: "Tyan Trinity (S1590S)", "DFI P5BV3+ ", "EPOX EP-5151MVP3E-M" Since my decision which MB to buy will be based on its support by Linux, I am grateful for *any* hint.

Re: [SuSE Linux] MAG Value D700 17"
by JPShebell＠aol.com 10 Nov '98

10 Nov '98

I've had good luck with MAG monitors, but I just got a Hitachi Elite 751 (19") for $680 and it is absolutely gorgeous -- phenominally good. I assume they make a 17" that is equivalent and cheaper. If so, get it. I'm just plain amazed at how good this thing is.

RE: [SuSE Linux] locate not working
by Dean＠putnamcompany.com 10 Nov '98

10 Nov '98

But to expand on this, I have had the cron update my db regularly but it would thne only contain my non-linux partitions. I would then do an updatedb --localpaths=/ --prunepaths="/tmp /var/tmp" ...etc. Bu tafter a while I would be left with just the non-linux partitions again. sounds to me like a permissions problem or something...am I close? -----Original Message----- From: Lenz Grimmer [<A HREF="mailto:grimmer@suse.de">mailto:grimmer@suse.de</A>] Sent: Tuesday, November 10, 1998 3:26 PM To: suse Subject: Re: [SuSE Linux] locate not working Hi, On Tue, 10 Nov 1998, dizzy wrote: > after a new install locate dosent seem to work i type locate filename > locate: /var/lib/locatedb: no such file or dir > ive tried update locatedb > the man for locate works but dosent say anything about it not working ;) Try "updatedb" instead, this will create the database.
