[SuSE Linux] Netscape mail
by DaHende3＠VT.Edu 27 Apr '99

27 Apr '99

Just today, my netscape mail client started displaying the message "retrieving n of N messages" where n is the current message retrieved number and N is the total number of messages to be retrieved when I click the "get new messages" button. This message is normal to see, but n never gets to N, it always stops at N-1. Prior to today, it would stop at N. I have tried a different mail client and Netscape is getting all of the messages off of the server, but it is disheartening to see the appearance of one message getting lost. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!! Dave H -- _ _| ~~. David Henderson \, _} DHenders(a)VT.Edu \( Gig 'em Aggies!

There is a less graceful way to handles these, documented in the following CDB article: <A HREF="http://www.suse.de/Support/sdb_e/maddin_cdchanger.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.de/Support/sdb_e/maddin_cdchanger.html</A">http://www.suse.de/Support/sdb_e/maddin_cdchanger.html</A</A>> quoting: "It is not that simple with ATAPI changes. There is only one device file (e.g. /dev/hdc). You need to switch the CDs manually with a little tool. You need to unmount the CD, change it and remount it afterwards. This tiny tool is called cdload. Go and get the package which may be obtained from our FTP site under <A HREF="ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse_update/special/cdload.tgz"><A HREF="ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse_update/special/cdload.tgz</A">ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse_update/special/cdload.tgz</A</A>> . Unpack it and install cdload to /usr/bin and invoke it as follows: cdload /dev/hdc 3 This should load the 4th CD. It is not that comfortable as with SCSI changes." As the file is getting rather old, (1998), you may want to rebuild it for your system like so: mkdir tmp cd tmp tar xvzf cdload.tgz gcc cdload.c -o cdload su cp cdload /usr/bin chmod go-w /usr/bin/cdload chmod a+xr /usr/bin/cdload More information can be found in the following file: /usr/src/linux/Documentation/cdrom/ide-cd > JV Best of luck, -josh -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archive at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>

[SuSE Linux] screen blackening
by sinthetk＠gothic.net 27 Apr '99

Hello all, How does one keep the screen from going black after 10 minutes or so. I prefer just to see the screensavers .. I am using Windowmaker as my windows manager. I know this seems to be a lame question, but I just have no clue where to look for the setting ..

[SuSE Linux] SuSE please include ppp as module by default!
by mcdo148＠ibm.net 27 Apr '99

27 Apr '99

Hello all, This is just my opinion, I had to recompile my kernel under SuSE 6 to include ppp support as a module. I actually think this in the end was a good thing, the making of the kernel went really smoothly and I felt like I had actually learned more about Linux, which is all good. However, I do think it's a daunting task, and especialy if you've onl;y ever used windows, well its kind of hardcore. I really think that ppp should be a loadable module by DEFAULT in the SuSE package. I think it would save some time and make the experience easier and nicer for newcomers, and well what harm could it do? At most, someone might rebuild the kernel excluding ppp as a module but I think that the benefit for newcomers would be worth it. I really think SuSE should be ppp ready put of the box. Anyways, thats just my opinion, feedback appreciated and keep up the good work SuSE.

[SuSE Linux] How to use IP Masquerading?
by pmaries＠ibm.net 27 Apr '99

27 Apr '99

I am testing SuSE 6.0 after many years with RedHat, so far it seems to be a very good distribution; however I have a problem: I need to use IP Masquerading but the "firewall" rpm is documented in German and as far as my German goes it doesn't seem to say much about the subject.
