[SLE] KDE 2 beta and Koffice on 6.4
by gholtslander＠yahoo.com 29 May '00

29 May '00

Does anyone have KDE 1.9 (KDE2 beta) with Koffice running? I've installed the Suse rpm's for it. It creates a directory /opt/kd2/ with all the new apps. I can't get X to use it properly. I set $WINDOWMANAGER to /opt/kde2/bin/startkde X starts up fine - switches from the X pointer to the arrow pointer. chugs along and then spits out this error message: There was an error setting up inter-process communications for KDE. The message returned by the system was: Authentication rejected, reason: None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host based authentication failed end of message. When I get out of X the console has the following messages: Dcopserver pid=4869 result=0 Klauncher pid=70 result=0 Launchrd kxmlrpcd result=0 kwrited result=0 I'm using a fresh install of Suse 6.4 from an iso image of the evaluation CD. I don't think I have changed any of the standard X configuration files. Any ideas - I'm anxious to try out Kword and Konqueror and Khtml Thanks Gord ===== Gordon J.

[SLE] another manpath victim

Count me into the club. I think the suse-security archive has fixes for this. At 11pm manpath goes bezerk and uses up all cpu resources, and this cinderella machine turns into a pumpkin.

hi all, i would be very grateful if anyone could help me with the following: i run SuSE 6.2 on my toshiba laptop. in order to use my soundcard (ESS Maestro), i need the appropriate driver, which is apparently included in kernel 2.2.14. however, i have kernel 2.2.10. is it possible to update the kernel (without updating the entire system), and if so, how? or is it possible to get the driver, without updating the kernel? i looked around on the SuSE site, but found nothing that could help me.

[SLE] QPOP 2.53 and fetchmail socket errors
by rjohns＠otenet.gr 29 May '00

29 May '00

Has anyone else had any trouble using fetchmail to grab messages from a QPOP 2.53 mail server? I was warned by fetchmailconf to expect socket errors with QPOP 2.53 but of course I blithely pushed along. I cannot find any rhyme or reason for the socket errors. The transfer times out after about 20 messages or so. This is a real problem since I am an avid mailing list reader. Is there any work-around? MS Outlook doesn't have any trouble :-< But please don't suggest that as a solution.

[SLE] where is the bootup log? (adding 3COM 3c509)
by Anonymous User 29 May '00

I am getting a lot of error messages when booting my SuSE 6.3 machine. I am trying to figure out how to add a 3Com 3c509 nic to the machine. I would like to ask for some help with getting the nic working, but without the log I don't think anyone can help:) Where will I find this log file?

[SLE] DHCP Client
by Anonymous User 29 May '00

It is my understanding that the DHCP client that comes with SuSE 6.3 is not the best and that there is a better one out there. Can someone point me to it?

If it gives this error message, then I think that you need to mount your dos or windows partition first, on a directory like, say /dos. executing the wine command together with this partition should work then. hope this helps -- 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] ls * > bla gives me a lot of ^[[00m in bla
by jorn.verwey＠psi.ch 29 May '00

29 May '00

Hello, Since a couple of months I am my own system administrator so I started to learn some bash. I like to write a script that will as a result give me a file with n of the largest files on my /home partition. I like to use the outcome of "ls -lR *", but when I write this to file I get the above-mentioned unwanted ^[[00m before and after file-names. I found that on somebody-elses RedHat (using SuSE 6.3 myself) this is not the case. I would appreciate any hint pointing me towards something I should pay attention to. Thank you, Jorn PS Although I don't ask for such a script, if somebody has one I would still be interested, even if that would flatten my learning-curve. -- Jorn Verwey PSI Life Sciences WMSA/B14 CH 5232 Villigen PSI tel. +41 56 310 4246 -o) fax. +41 56 310 3132 /\\ Jorn.Verwey(a)psi.ch _\_v -- 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/
