[SLE] How does one remove apps in the KDE 1.1.2 menu structure?
by kellum＠MathCS.SJSU.EDU 30 Sep '99

30 Sep '99

I just installed KDE 1.1.2 (under SuSE 6.2) and am trying to configure it to my needs. I installed a bunch of apps just to find out what they were. My Utilities menu is cluttered and has some stuff, ie HP Laser Jet Control Center, I don't keed. I tried KPanel/Edit Menus, but that didn't work. When I tried to drag an unneed icon to the trash, I wasn't allowed to. -- Kenneth R.

Hi Chris, IŽve Cc:ed the mailing list, if you donŽt mind. Maybe someone else has a clue what might be wrong here.

[SLE] laptops & linux advice please?
by tlambley＠cspops.co.uk 30 Sep '99

30 Sep '99

Hi all, I'm after a pure linux based laptop (i.e. no doze), but I've heard that there can be problems with this. So before I get the new hardware I thought I'd ask the experts. I've got suse6.2 installed on a desktop and ideally would like the same dist on a laptop. I recall that dell are shipping some in the US, not much good to me in the UK though. Anyone have a working system, any advice or "don't touch:" lists? I'll reckon that I'll be using X most of the time.

[SLE] xfree86 3.3.5 patch?

I just installed Xfree86 3.3.5 last night and seem to be having the same problems that a few others had... i.e. getting the password promt. What is SuSE's position on this problem? Do they have a work around?

[SLE] ezmlm on suse.de
by reply＠bannerclub.com 30 Sep '99

I noticed that this mailing list is run by ezmlm, written by Dan Bernstein the creator of QMail. Suse 6.2 ships with sendmail, and postfix is available as an option. The mailing list manager is majordomo. Which MTA is sus.com using? and if not QMail, will there be an ezmlm rpm for suse put together?

[SLE] pppd log issue and sound config problem
by cparman＠airmail.net 30 Sep '99

30 Sep '99

Hello Everyone, I have a two part question here. 1) PPPD logs this message approximately every 30 seconds. Sep 29 13:09:04 TheWave1 pppd[302]: sent [LCP EchoReq id=0x38 magic=0x53cbbe3] Sep 29 13:09:04 TheWave1 pppd[302]: rcvd [LCP EchoRep id=0x38 magic=0x72bf2197] This seems excessive to say the least. This will make the 'message' file quite large over a relatively short period of time (lets say 12 hours being connected to one's ISP). This means 4 message lines per minute, 240 message lines per hour and in 12 hours there will be 2880 lines of these silly messages. Is there a way to lengthen the time in which these messages are logged ? Or perhaps stop them from being logged all together ? 2) Re-compiling the original kernel after installing SuSE 6.2. PLease note: This is the 2.2.10-SuSE kernel and source that I am using. I have a Dual Celeron machine and after the initial install of SuSE 6.2 I needed to take advantage of SMP. However, the installed 2.2.10 kernel doesn't have SMP support built-in, so I needed to re-compile the 2.2.10 kernel for SMP support. With the newly installed 2.2.10 kernel and modules, sound (implemented as a module) works fine, printing (implemented as a module) is working fine. Sadly to say, when I re-compile the kernel to implement SMP (I enabled sound and printing as modules), SMP works fine, however, sound and printing doesn't exist anymore....even though I enabled these services as modules. I can't understand why 'sound' and 'printing' work so well with the newly installed kernel and not with a re-compiled version using the same source the original kernel came from ? Is there anyone out there in SuSE land that has re-compiled a 2.2.10-SuSE kernel for SMP support and managed to to get 'sound' and 'printing' to work ? I would like to hear from you :) Thank you in advance for your help.

Re: [SLE] Printer Setup HowTo?
by super-suser＠eudoramail.com 30 Sep '99

30 Sep '99

Hmm...With my Epson Stylus Color 440 was pretty darn simple under 6.2 :). In the System Administration / Integrate Hardware menu, there's a nifty little tool within YaST that allows you to configure most GS/A2PS printers. You select Color, what type (other), what port, what resolution, and it handles the rest. An alternative is to go into /var/apsfilter (I think that's where it is) and run the setup script from there. It's NCurses-based, but it's a little terse. It's considerably more powerful than YaST, but I don't like it. -- -=|JP|=- Jon Pennington | SuSE Linux 6.2 super-suser(a)eudoramail.com | Kernel 2.2.10 Kansas City, Missouri, USA | AMD K6-III 450 Moderator of LUG-KC(a)onelist.com http://www.onelist.com/subscribe/lug-kc >Will this whole process be easy in Suse7? > >Thanks in advance for any advice on this. >jimo(a)eskimo.com Join 18 million Eudora users by signing up for a free Eudora Web-Mail account at http://www.eudoramail.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/

Very confusing when you are trying to see who is > doing what. I had the same problem with SuSE 6.2. The solution was to install a newer version of the ps tools. The update package is available from SuSE via FTP: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/6.2/a1/ps.rpm There seems to be no update for SuSE 6.1, but perhaps this package works with 6.1, too. But I can't test it.

Hi, Thanks, tried both options no luck. Do you also use a conner drive. I have read that this might be the cause of my problem as well.

It has been totally stable, no glitches, no surprises! Check out the SMP Howto, available at http://www.phy.duke.edu/brahma/smp-faq/smp-faq.txt The key points it mentions: Enable "RTC support"; this is to address a slight clock-drift problem with SMP, DON'T configure APM (auto power management) - it's probably causing the problem you're having. 2.2.10 runs very well with these configured.
