[S.u.S.E. Linux] current kernel configuration?
by marc_bouron＠hotmail.com 17 Jun '98

17 Jun '98

Hello, Having now been playing with my newly-installed SuSE 5.2 for a while, I'd like to build my own kernel. Setting the configuration options is one thing, but I'd like to know what they're set to currently: i.e. what does my current (off the CD) kernel look like. Is there any way to tell? Ideally I'd like to be able to build a kernel which is just like my current one, but with a couple of things added (and perhaps a couple of things taken away). Any hints will be gratefully received. Cheers, Marc. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at <A HREF="http://www.hotmail.com"><A HREF="http://www.hotmail.com</A">http://www.hotmail.com</A</A>> -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

[S.u.S.E. Linux] KDE Beta 4 and SuSU 5.2
by lsayre＠integrityonline13.com 17 Jun '98

17 Jun '98

A few weeks back I was turned off to upgrading my KDE 3 to KDE 4 after hearing numerous nightmares and problems. Now after numerous hangs, etc.. using beta 3, I'm thinking beta 4 again. Has anyone painlessly managed to upgrade beta 3 to beta 4, and if so, can you detail how it was done? ----------------------------------------------- Man's mind is his basic tool of survival!

[S.u.S.E. Linux] asmixer
by mr.zelig＠linux.nu 17 Jun '98

Hi All! I tried to run asmixer but it was complaining about my /dev/mixer . At first it couldn't read and after some work, I made link to mixer1, it couldn't grab it. I suppose I have to make a new kernel, but I would like to be sure before I try that. Have a splendid day!

i have a 28.8 connection to the internet and it is up for a maximum of 8 hours at a time. is it possible to update my system via the internet thru suse' ftp and yast? or would it lose the connection halfway through, and then have to start over at the beginning? -- Aaron Seelye <roberto(a)cbvcp.com> <A HREF="http://revolution.3-cities.com/~roberto"><A HREF="http://revolution.3-cities.com/~roberto</A">http://revolution.3-cities.com/~roberto</A</A>> -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

[S.u.S.E. Linux] KDE Background problem
by hattons＠cpkwebser5.ncr.disa.mil 17 Jun '98

17 Jun '98

All, I am having a problem with my backgrounds in KDE 1.0b4. I am not able to get them to display. The last significant change I made was setting my mouse to an intellimouse. This did not cause a problem immediately. The problem came on suddenly, and without anything significant immediately preceding it. I have uninstalled then reinstalled the KDE and all the X stuff. I reinstalled all the qt stuff that I could find. If I look in the .xsession-errors I see: Warning: Could not attach SHM. QPixmap::convertFromImage: Cannot convert a null image KBackground::KBackground KScreenSaver::KScreenSaver KGeneral::KGeneral KFM seems to be crashed !!!!!!! Running new KFM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
