This list is too busy: any improvements on the horizon?
by Paul C.Leopardi 05 Apr '01

05 Apr '01

Hi, has anyone thought of ways to improve this list? For each of February and March there was an average of more than 100 messages a day on suse-linux-e This is too busy for me to stay subscribed. So I only subscribe when I ask a question and use the web site to see if anyone answers. But then asking a question takes 5 email messages: 1. Subscribe 2. Confirm subscribe 3. Ask question 4. Unsubscribe 5. Confirm unsubscribe I think I can get rid of one message by unsubscribing in the same email as asking the question, but I think that's about it. Has anyone though of : 1. moving this conversation to a newsgroup, 2. providing a daily digest 3. any other optimizations? Thanks

[OT]Any Mathematica users out there?
by Luis Angel Fernández Cuadrado 05 Apr '01

05 Apr '01

Sorry for this sligth off-topic question, but I'm in a hurry... I've just installed the latest version of the Mathematica software for linux. Appart from having to add Mathematica's fonts to the X-Server font paths, everytime I start the program a very nasty dialog box advises that "Warning: Actions not found: delete-next-character" and most every single keystroke I make it repeats it. It gets to my nerves. I've rambled on the help system but found nothing. So, that's it: any Mathematica user can lend a helping hand ? I'm using SuSE 7.0 with XFree-4.03 and KDE-2.1 Thanks and sorry for the digression. -- Dr. Luis A. Fernández Department of Analytical Chemistry University of The Basque Country P.O.

ISDN4Lx vs capi4linux
by Oliver Ob 05 Apr '01

05 Apr '01

Note: I have found no list with the topic somewhat like ISDN-ENGLISH, so if you know a better destination for this question inform me, pls. And, this mail had a wrong date, so here again... > http://www.capi.org > http://www.avm.de > http://www.wuebben.org/members/markus/development/fmi/ > http://www.capircvd.de > www.isdn4linux.de (vorallem das Mailinglistenarchiv) These sources are o.k., but if would like to obtain some OVERVIEW (which is hard to get in any linux topics which is the worst on linux anyways) on how CAPI4linux and ISDN4Lx compare and what each of them is able to do for you. Any direction you can point me to? *M*tia!

Anyone have the Aethera (mail app) beta working on KDE2, SuSE 7.1?
by wilson＠claborn.net 05 Apr '01

05 Apr '01

Hey, I liked the looks for theKompany.com's PIM app "Aethera" so I installed it. It wouldn't run until I installed the latest KDE2 update. Now it runs fine but all the icons (buttons) are missing. That seems rather odd, I don't know it theKompany left them out of the RPM or what. Has anyone got Aethera working with icons? Anyone have an idea what I need to do to get them TIA ---------------------------------------------------- Jonathan Wilson System Administrator Cedar Creek Software http://www.cedarcreeksoftware.com Central Texas IT http://www.centraltexasit.com

[Dual Head] suse 7.1 matrox, nvidia configuration problems
by jlhagen＠collins.rockwell.com 05 Apr '01

05 Apr '01

Hello everyone, I'm a recent convert from Redhat to Suse and it looks like my timing was right, KDE2, XFree86 4, and WOW this stuff looks/runs great, much better than my Solaris box at work. I have one last hurtle to tackle and that's my video setup. I have a AGP Matrox G400 32MB card and a PCI Creative Blaster TNT 16MB card with two crapy Gateway monitors. Does anyone have a similar video card setup that they have gotten to work at dual head? I would really like to see your XF86Config file. I've been playing with sax2 a little bit and during the part where you can 'test' the configuration I get a correct nvidia display but the matrox display comes up with visual problems. I can make out that the matrox display is showing the box that allows you to adjust the display (wider, thinner, left/right, up/down ) but it's unreadable and obviously screwed up. This is a fresh install of 7.1 so I'm not sure if there are new matrox and nv drivers available, I'll check that when I get a free moment. As I'm learning about suse's way of doing things I'll will welcome any hints/suggestions I can get. I know dual head matrox cards are about $80 now but I'd like to get what I have working. Thanks John

I was SUCCESSFUL installing SuSE 7.1 on DellPowerEdge1550
by KEVIN ZEMBOWER 05 Apr '01

05 Apr '01

Thank you, Rik, for your suggestion. I used "manual" and the installation went fine. I suspect you are right about the failure to write the MBR in the first attempt; I can't remember ever being asked that. But, this time, I was asked explicitly and all went well. I was not able to use the aacraid driver; when I selected it during the installation, it errored. I remembered the RH installation used the MegaRAID, and when I selected that one, everything seemed to work well. Thank you again for helping me out. -Kevin Zembower >>> "KEVIN ZEMBOWER" <KZEMBOWER(a)jhuccp.org> 04/05/01 09:10AM >>> Thank you for your suggestion.

The trick for me was to select the "manual" method (type manual at the boot: prompt)which uses YAST, not YAST2. Once there, you can manually load modules. The one to load for the RAID controller is the AACRAID module. Also, I've noticed that since 7.0 the LILO installation screen of YAST2 always defaults to using a floppy! Your problem below sounds like it never wrote to the MBR of the disk, hence you couldn't boot.
