I do not know for English speaking natives, but for me, who has to translate everything, it just adds another level of difficulty, which is not fully welcome :-). I believe that writing correctly is mere politeness. Let's be considerate among ourselves.

[SLE] AucTeX " " vs `` ''
by kdp＠hanhet.loew.washington.edu 29 Dec '99

29 Dec '99

How can I reconfigure AucTeX so that using the double quote key will generate the LaTeX `` '' quotes? I read the documentation that comes with the package, and I see that the "german" style modifies this key, but I need more hints on where and what to modify. Thanks. -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe(a)suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

[SLE] virtual hosting (mail)
by kf96best＠dd.chalmers.se 29 Dec '99

29 Dec '99

Hi! I have a computer with static IP and a "real" host/domain name like host.domain.tld running SuSE 6.3. I also have another domain (newdomain.tld) that is pointing at my IP, I have set up a virtual web server with Apache (that was easy :). I also want the server to accept emails for the virtual domain and deliver them to the local users, that is, mail to user(a)newdomain.tld should me delivered to user(a)host.domain.tld or user@localhost. I have looked in the Virtual Services HOWTO and http://www.sendmail.org/virtual-hosting.html but that doesn't help _me_ much. Do I really have to get into that kind of obfuscated sendmail configuration or is there an easier way of doing this? Maybe with YaST?

RE: [SLE] Opening ftp service

The three lines refer to different ftp daemons. The uncommented line should match the daemon you have installed in order to use the service, or the one you wish to use if you have more than one installed.

[SLE] Kde Linux Service

Hello, Does anyone know what happened to the SuSE Linux KDE Service? I went to download the rpm's for KDE1.1.2 and the pages are blank. You can see all the graphics but not software is listed. This is the main link I followed to get to those pages: http://www.suse.de/en/support/download/LinuKS/ Any help would be appreciate it.

RE: [SLE] Odd "Kernel Too Big" Message

He already did this if you read his post....... Try a full "make mrproper" to fully flush the fluff from the previous compiles & retry. I'm not sure if you need to explicitly install bzip/bunzip to do "make bzlilo", I'd assume if it was required it'd be in with the rpm dependencies. If the problems continue it may be an idea to uninstall the source & reinstall afresh. -----Original Message----- From: Alexey Volovoy [SMTP:alexey@orimail.com] Sent: Wednesday, December 29, 1999 3:30 PM To: Dennis Soper Cc: suse-linux-e(a)suse.com Subject: Re: [SLE] Odd "Kernel Too Big" Message Hello, Dennis Soper wrote: > Hi all, > > I just built a kernel for a Toshiba laptop and got a "kernel too big" > message when I ran LILO, so I tried to make bzImage and got the same > message.

[SLE] SuSE 6.3 + KDE = locked keyboard and mouse
by eck＠raytheon.com 29 Dec '99

29 Dec '99

Hello List Members, Before Christmas I installed SuSE 6.3 and chose KDE and the desktop environment. Before this I was running Red Hat 6.1 along with KDE. Recently I've been having problems with the mouse and keyboard not responding after I've performed a series of keyboard and/or mouse operations. The last two times this happened to me I had to hard reset the machine. Since the keyboard was not working I could not perform the usual ctl-alt-backspace, ctl-alt-Fx, or any other way. I do not have telnet access to this computer (home computer with ppp dial). I'm currently back to Red Hat and looking for any ideas as to why KDE would lockup under the Official SuSE 6.3.

I would like to see the > source, just to see how it's done. You wouldn't be violating any NDA's or > anything silly like that, would you? Nope. I wrote the database with three others. We tried to use a SQL database, but the response took 11 seconds for a simple query going through the loopback device via a CGI script. From the console, it was very fast, but as soon as we used the web server and CGI, it was horribly slow. So we tried some bash scripting, and it was much faster. Weird. (This was almost two years ago.) Other problems we had were with the commercial SQL databases - they required a Pentium processor, and our web server was a 486. We settled on writing it bash as I didn't know Perl at the time. Our team had a database admin, a business admin, an NT admin, and myself (as team keader). We pulled it off successfully: The product was delivered on time and within budget. Many people can't believe a database can be written in bash, but it can. It slows down unacceptably as the database grows, but it works as a rapid prototype. Source code: ftp://georgetoft.com/georgetoft/owl-html.tgz - goes in html dir ftp://georgetoft.com/georgetoft/owl-cgi.tgz - goes in cgi-bin dir In this case, the owner is a member of the nobody group so that the deveolper and httpd can modify the tables. -- George Toft http://www.georgetoft.com -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe(a)suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
