[SLE] Mail handling
by talacko＠yarn.demon.co.uk 02 May '00

02 May '00

Hi, I'm not sure that this is completely on topic, but as people here are so knowledgable, there is probably someone who knows. First thing, I want a script that I can put in my .profile file or be invoked by cron. I want it to take any mail that is older than say, a month, delete it from the mail box and put it into an archive store. Some mail, after I've read it, I'd like to be put straight into a mail box related to that correspondent, so clearing out my inbox. The other thing I'd like to do is batch process my email. I use pine at the moment and this can't be done, but I'd like some script where I can flag all emails which relate to some search criteria and carry out one operation on them, say, save to a folder or delete. My mail forwarder is procmail, but I can't see anything in the man pages that would allow these sort of scripts to be run. Am I missing something? I also thought about doing something in perl. There is a mailbox module, but the README carries warnings about how unstable it is and that it shouldn't be used. Any ideas would be appreciated.

[SLE] mozilla
by fgs＠epulse.net 02 May '00

02 May '00

Hi, Has anyone got any suggestions. Yesterday evening I installed Moxilla M15 uneventfully so I though. Via dial up connection from home all seemed well. This morning from work (permanent network connection) not only does mozilla fail to find anything but also kfm (whicj I use mainly) and Netscape all fail to resolve any addresses. Mail is working fine. Nameserver list looks ok and all are pingable. What have I done wrong, or any suggestions as to what has been altered and where by te installation so that I can reset it. It feels very unsettling to have no working links.

[SLE] Apache startup error
by psims＠lombard.co.uk 02 May '00

02 May '00

Apache on 6.4 is giving me "compiled with -DEAPI........Please recompile with -EAPI" or similar (from memory), related to jserv & a warning it may crash. I've since reinstalled Apache from 6.3 CeBit2000 CD. Is there a fix other than recompiling (never recompiled Apache before). TIA, Paul.

I had the eval of 6.4 running with no trouble then tried to install full box set an i am having two problems. One is with yast2 giving me an error of i need 2.66 gigs more space on / to install to packages i have selectiive. I have a 6gig drive so i know I should have rooom. this is after partioning an hitting next, i gave / 5 gigs an home abt 800 megs. I went an used yast1 to install an it went fine. but in the console some the characters on keyboard are not the right ones. example is the z key gives me a y an the y key gives me the z. also the . key on numkeypad gives me a ,. i thought this was a bit odd never had this happen to me before. anyone have a suggerstion on what to do. when I run xwindows all the characters seem to work fine. jack Jack Malone East Texas Lighthouse for the Blind dba Horizon Industries jack(a)malone.tyler.com 903-595-3444 fax 903-595-3447 -- 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] Maestro sound card support
by fountai＠hursley.ibm.com 02 May '00

02 May '00

I got a Dell notebook at the weekend. It's got a Maestro sound card in it, which informed documentation says works under Linux. Redhat, apparently, auto detects it. I have SuSE-6.3, which doesn't seem to want to play with it. Anyone know what I have to do to make it work? -- 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/

Hi everyone, Has anyone used the new kbase.rpm for 6.4 downloaded from the ftp. After installating it every application other than the KDE related ones seem to disapper from the menus.

All: Please read Adrian's comments below. Now that's a quick response! I send of a complaint before I go to bed, and by the time I'm up in the morning I have an answer! SuSE is indeed a _wonderful_ company! Adrian, Please don't feel bad about the time I spent on this. I learned a lot from the situation.

There is a newer kbase where this is fixed (also a problem with the newer tar and some updates to be prepared for KDE 2 packages). ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse_update/6.4/kde2/kbase.rpm I noticed, that it is not on our WEB page :-(...

RE: [SLE] XIRCOM Realport 10/100 Card?
by psims＠lombard.co.uk 02 May '00

02 May '00

On my Fujitsu Lifebook I found it neccessary to disable the onboard serial port in the BIOS as PCMCIA insisted on setting up the Xircom modem as /dev/ttyS0. The card now works fine and I have no need of the onboard serial port anyway.
