Message-ID: <3A2C7FC9.AE3B1F6A(a)shadow.net> Date: Tue, 05 Dec 2000 00:40:25 -0500 From: phoenix <phoenix(a)shadow.net> Subject: Wvdial quirk Hello, I'm running S.u.S.E 7,0 (upgraded from 6.4). It runs great, except one quirk. Occasionally, Wvdial will forget where the modem is. I'm not sure why that is. I don't change any of the settings. I get it working again fairly quickly by reconfiguring it by typing wvdialconf >dev null <p> After which it works great. (BTW - I normally launch wvdial from the XFCE3 Desktop directly) <p>Anyone else have this happen to them ?

Can't run KDE2 as user

Message-ID: <6335CBB2F69AD411AD3100D0B7BA38E370E20C@CORPUSMX2> From: Cleary_Mike(a)emc.com Date: Mon, 4 Dec 2000 10:03:54 -0500 Subject: Can't run KDE2 as user Well I've finally managed to get KDE2 to work.......sort of. I installed the SuSE rpms using Yast. I have had a number of random lock-ups which cause me to do a hard reset. Initially, I was able to start KDE2 as a user. Now I can't and I have no idea why - but it seems that a lot of weird problems have cropped up since I installed KDE2. I did notice something strange w/ regard to QT. I installed the SuSE rpms for version 2.2.1 prior to installing KDE2. Installing this version resulted in two directories: /usr/lib/qt-2.2.1 /usr/lib/qt2 The directory /usr/lib/qt2 is a link which points to /usr/lib/qt-2.2.1. HOWEVER, while in KDE2, if I enter "echo $QTDIR", I get the following: /usr/lib2/qt2 First of all, the directory lib2 does not exist. Does anyone know where this environment variable gets set for KDE2? Why is it set to a directory that doesn't get created? Are the QT rpms messed up? Should I set $QTDIR in .profile or some other config file? Anyway, I went back to KDE1 and uninstalled the QT rpms and then reinstalled them (using Yast). I get the same results. Only now, I can't use KDE2 as user. The splash screen comes up, then a smooth blank gray screen, then nothing.......??? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Hello Linux folkz, I couldn't find decent search engine for Linux box. May be somebody knows where I can get Linux based search engine or web crawler to go out and index pages on the certain networks to put them in database locally on my server. I want to create my own search engine on the Internet. I have enough bandwidth and storage space to do so. Any information is greatly appreciated. Thanks Alex

NIS and SuSE 6.4: unknown usernames?

Message-ID: <184EFC987B711D4DB779178FB6EA30ED0196FA(a)semergy1.semergy.local> From: Hein Ragas <hein.ragas(a)semergy.com> Date: Mon, 4 Dec 2000 14:30:21 +0100 Subject: NIS and SuSE 6.4: unknown usernames? Hello, I'm running SuSE 6.4 on four boxes. They all share a password-file over NIS, which is handy when editting files over NFS-mounts etc. Now, when I'm working on one of these boxes, the machine can not determine my username from my (numeric) userid. However, I can normally log in or do a su to myself, and then all seems OK again. What gives? I'm getting a little tired of this, can anyone give any advice on how to fix this? Thanks, Hein
