Yes, from SuSEconfig, which changes the pam configuration in /etc/pam.d/* Thorsten -- Thorsten Kukuk http://www.suse.de/~kukuk/ kukuk(a)suse.de SuSE GmbH Schanzaeckerstr. 10 90443 Nuernberg Linux is like a Vorlon.

Adding new disk on SuSE 7.1
by Pascal MiQUET 26 Mar '01

26 Mar '01

Hi, It took me few times to install the SuSE 7.1 Pro. It's very fine. Anyway, as I always switches between my 7.1 disk and another one installed with *Win*, I'm trying to boot on the first one with lilo and add the dos OS into the boot loader. Does it make sense ? Could it be loaded, as the dos will be installed into another disk ? Anyway I didn't find into Yast or Yast2 how to add the dos partition, into the fstab, and into lilo. Any help ? Thanks 4 All Bests Pascal MiQUET

Re: [SLE] X programs in KDE2
by Kevin Croxen 26 Mar '01

26 Mar '01

Do the programs just fail to open, without other symptoms? Then you might want to try running the affected programs in a terminal window in KDE2 and see whether they run there. That was the only way I could ever get WordPerfect 8 to launch on KDE2, for example. For the small chess database Scid, I could get it to run without a terminal if I symlinked the related startup binaries to my home directory, so I suppose there's some sort of path glitch involved in the making of desktop objects in KDE2....but who knows? --Kevin On Mon, 26 Mar 2001 09:09:51 -0500, John Murphy wrote: >Can someone explain why some X programs work in KDE1 and not in KDE2. >These are not KDE related programs so I'm guessing something in X display >from within KDE2 > >Thanks > >John >-- >Contentment is not the fulfillment of what you want, but the >realization of how much you already have. > > >-- >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/faq

Jerky Mouse
by Jim Worrest 26 Mar '01

26 Mar '01

On two SuSE 6.3 installs I have the same problem. The mouse has a jerky movement and it seems to avoid buttons, this is very irritating. If I slowly sneak up on a button I can usually click on it. I set up my video with SaX and it has this problem with both the S3 and Mach 64 boards. Any suggestions? ---Jim Shop online without a credit card http://www.rocketcash.com RocketCash, a NetZero subsidiary

no /etc/resolv.conf
by Jonathan Drews 26 Mar '01

26 Mar '01

Hi: I tried to run my old kppp (in KDE2) and during setup it complained that no /etc/resolv.conf exitsed. Sure enough I checked and it was not there. I have deleted nothing out of root and wonder why it should be missing. In creating this file, what do I need to include in it? -- Cheers, Jonathan
