[SLE] ANNOUNCE: KDE Alpha 20000330 Binaries available - Finally!

Sorry it took so long, but I think the wait is worth it.... I have just made available a new version of KDE2 Alpha binaries in RPM and -bin.tar.gz format. Also available are the sources that worked to compile these packages. Please read the README file in the directory, this tells you most of what you need to know to install and update. These files are available via ftp from: ftp://ftp.nebsllc.com/kde2/current or via http at: http://www.nebsllc.com (follow links for kde2 Alpha binaries) You will also be able to find these at (after a few days): http://www.htw-dresden.de/~s2697 If you want to try koffice from kde 1.x without updating the rest of kde you may want to try the RPMS from David Faure (faure(a)kde.org) at (these were packaged for Mandrake but should work on other RPM based distros): ftp://sunsite.uio.no/pub/linux/Mandrake-devel/contrib/RPMS/ These binaries are built from CVS as of 30 March 2000 at 6:30am Eastern Standard Time (-0500). Please bring all install questions to the un-official kde-alpha list at kde-alpha-request(a)nebsllc.com. The installs have been tested by me on a RedHat 6.1 machine. They have also been reported to work on all other distributions. You will need to do a --force and a --nodeps on the rpm installs. If you are running prior Alpha's I highly recommend you update. There are a lot of fixes and some structural changes in the packages. You will also find Source tar.gz's in the same directory. -- -------------------------------------------------------- Christopher Molnar RHCE New England Business Services, LLC Hartford, CT USA (860)956-9408 molnarc(a)nebsllc.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/

[SLE] wvdial permissions?
by pevans＠bigfoot.de 30 Mar '00

30 Mar '00

Hi all Could someone tell me how one can change the permissions of wvdial to allow a user to access the modem? According to the SuSE book if you add the user to the groups uucp and dialout it should work, however I still get the message that access to the serial port, in my case /dev/ttyS0, is denied. So I guess my question is really, how does one change the permissions of the serial port?

[SLE] Power management
by abrahams＠valinet.com 30 Mar '00

30 Mar '00

Does Linux have any supporting software for power management? Or is this purely a BIOS function? My motherboard manual (Tyan) says under DPMS support: Select this option if your monitor supports the Display Power Management Signalling (DPMS) standard of the Video Electronics Standards Association. Use the software supplied for your video subsystem to select video power management values. I would have thought it's purely a BIOS function except for that last sentence.

Hello everyone, I am getting quite a few messages in /var/log/messages similar to the above. I am guessing it is something to do with the modem connection... Can anyone point me towards what this means and what I can do about it? It seems to be errors with receiving through the modem(?) Thanks in advance for any pointers.

Please help. I am running SuSE 6.3 and can't get wvdial.dod to work. If I start wvdial it connects fine, but if I start wvdial.dod and try to connect nothing happens. Where can I start checking ?

[SLE] Attachments in this list
by kevin.jackson＠jhallpr.demon.co.uk 30 Mar '00

I use Outlook on our NT Exchange Email system to send/receive email - a very common set up in any company using NT. We also use Dr Solomon/McAffee Anti Virus on the Exchange server. Before anyone says this is a Linux list - I'm not stupid. All I want to know is why are there a lot of attachments to emails... Business cards, and the like. But... now and again I get ones which Exchange locks up because our Anti Virus it is scanning it. I have the option to unlock it... but would rather not. What are you trying to send to the list that will cause our anti virus to lock emails? I'm one of the systems administrators here and know exactly why Exchange does this - I want to ask people to stop sending attachments.
