I upgraded the same way and mine works. The one thing I have problems with is when you right click to get the new option, none of it works. ______________________________________________________ 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 upgrade lost some utilities
by lsayre＠stratos.net 29 Jul '98

29 Jul '98

I upgraded SuSE 5.2 from KDE Beta3 to 1.0, and now a few utilities are not functioning. I'm particularly annoyed by the loss of the "K File System Control" utility. I used YaST to install QT 1.33, and KDE 1.0, and aside from one warning the install went well. I can't recall the warning message.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] wget --mirror --exclude-directories ...,...,...
by Jochen_Hayek＠ACM.org 29 Jul '98

29 Jul '98

Hi there! I want to use wget to mirror a directory tree (via ftp), but exclude some of the subdirectories. How would I actually specify those subdirectories to be excluded? I tried various things, * like naming them relatively to the root of that tree, * like naming them absolutely -- like the root of that tree itself, but to no success. What do I do wrong?

[S.u.S.E. Linux] changing a linux native partition to dos
by sina＠Glue.umd.edu 29 Jul '98

29 Jul '98

Hi all, I currently don't have Dos/Win on my machine (suse 5.2). I do have an extra partition which I like to change to dos format and eventually install dos and windows. I don't see the dos option in YAST when I try to create/modify partitions. the "man fdisk" option isn't much help either. Here are my questions: How can I format dos partions with YAST? If I can't, how do I do it with fdisk? What steps do I need to take to record the change and make it permanent ( e.g.: Do I need to modify /etc/fstab? What other files have to be edited? Do I need to recompile the kernel? etc.) Thanks, Ramin Sina - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

I would never have bought such a printer .... No, the HP 870 Cxi is a good printer, in the same category than HP 890 ( it's the professionnal category, wheras the HP 6xx is the public category ) I think this printer recognize HP-CL3 language Moreover, a printer designed for windows wouldn't have worked at all under linux, whereas mine prints postscripts documents perfectly .... but in B&W ! help ! :-!

[S.u.S.E. Linux] KDE Questions.
by suse_list＠hotmail.com 29 Jul '98

29 Jul '98

I have 2 questions with KDE. When I press on the lock screen icon (or use screen saver), instead of the screensaver coming on and blanking out the screen with the lock function, the screensaver is only covering the little area in the top-left corner (where I have my taskbar). This happens whether I have an application open on that windor or not. It is really annoying and leaves the screen unprotected (I have to manually turn the screen down). I upgraded from the version on the Suse5.2 disk to version 1 off the suse ftp site. I did this by uninstalling the beta version and then installing the version 1 (not just upgrade). Someone on this list suggested it was better that way. The other question I have. When I was using the beta version, I had a choice at the login screen to use fvwm, fvwm95,qvwm, etc window managers. Now I only have the choice between kwm or something like safety mode or something. Does anyone know what happened to the others. All my other settings in kde stayed (including kppp).

[S.u.S.E. Linux] Netscape annoyances
by suse_list＠hotmail.com 29 Jul '98

29 Jul '98

Hi all, I was using netscape today and there were a couple of problems that were really annoying me. I kept getting these messages saying NetscaBookmarks have been changed on disk and are being reloaded. I then had to press ok to get rid opf it. I was running 4 screens of netscape at once (as I like to do, to switch between them while waiting for one screen to load). So I had to keep pressing ok whenever this message came up (maybe every 5 minutes or so). I went away for an hour and came back with 10 of these things on my screen. Really annoying. Does anyone know how to get rid of this? The second thing that happened was after using if for a while I got this message saying Netscape error: No route to host. This happened on links I know were active and could even be reached from another browser window that was opened. I shut down netscape, reloaded and it all worked fine again. Does anyone know what has caused this. Is it a bug in netscape or am I dsomething wrong?
