[SLE] Corel cheated.
by fm＠cupserv.org 01 Apr '00

01 Apr '00

This has nothing to do with SuSE, directly, however, I think it's important that everyone here knows what Corel is "up to." Their soon-to-be-released Office 20000 Suite is NOT a native Linux Suite, and in fact, the code was NOT ported to Linux. It's a modified 'Bloze version (all versions now have common code) that runs under Wine, which is shipped WITH the Suite. Now, for some this is fine...not a problem. I guess for me, I object to Corel's giving all this "lip service" to supporting Linux, and producing a LINUX VERSION of it's office suite, then having to read a review of the product to find out that it's NOT Linux code at all. I guess is an issue of honesty, if nothing else. Fred -- ----/ / _ Fred A. Miller ---/ / (_)__ __ ____ __ Systems Administrator --/ /__/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / Cornell Univ.

[SLE] sblive is messin with my mind
by jasonunrein＠kscable.com 01 Apr '00

01 Apr '00

ok, i am extremely confused on this. occasionally my sblive platinum (emu10k1) won't play though my speakers which are hooked up on the drive tray spdif out. the first time i was able to get the sound card to work, it played through the speakers but then a week later it stopped for a while and now its started up again. It isn't the feature that mutes the speakers when headphones are pluged in since the headphone jack doesn't work under linux (or hasn't) and putting headphones in doesn't mute it. any ideas on what this might be doing -- 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/

In general I don't care for followups that give a long quote and then say, "Me too." But you have said in essence just what I would have written. So this is in essence a "me too." There may be a place for HTML in private emails between consenting adults, but I really don't think it is appropriate for a mailing list. And I would like it if there were a consistent quoting policy in followups. Some list members like to quote the entire message and insert responses at the top. That is also the convention where I work. I hate it. It means you sometimes have to reread the entire conversation "bottom up" to remind yourself of previous comments. I find it much easier to follow the flow of a thread when quotes are trimmed carefully and responses are inserted just after the material they respond to. And I find it very confusing when the two conventions are mixed. I think it would be nice if there were a consensus on such things. Not an official ruleset, just an acceptable convention. -- Bud Rogers <budr(a)sirinet.net> http://www.sirinet.net/~budr/zamm.html Assembly of Japanese bicycle require great peace of mind. -- 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/

Sure, You only set the symlink in that runlevel. You will notice there are other directories all having the form rc<X>.d.

The only real problem I ran into was that it replaced some config files. In each case it saved the old file with a .rpmold extension. After I tracked down the first two in a panic, I ran updatedb. Then it was simple to 'locate rpmold' and fix the changes. I don't know if that has anything to do with your printer problem, but you might check that... -- Bud Rogers <budr(a)sirinet.net> http://www.sirinet.net/~budr/zamm.html Assembly of Japanese bicycle require great peace of mind. -- 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/
