Email Server II; Mail Store
by Watson, Randy 02 Aug '01

02 Aug '01

Hello, I have the SuSE Email Server II package installed, which is actually Cyrus mail. Anyway, my IMAP, POP3 and IMP have different messages on the same account. Is the mail store different for IMAP and POP? How can one make them store the same place, so that the email will be the same no matter which method we use to retrieve? Thanks Randy

X server
by Donnie Linville 02 Aug '01

X Server definition (from how-to) This is the program that manages the display of the machine with a physical console (display, keyboard, mouse, etc). It can be thought of as a combined graphics card, keyboard and mouse 'driver'. This will provide these facilities as a service to X clients (hence the term 'server'). Please refer to the X User Howto in Section 7 for more details. Donnie Wrote. The term "server" throws me off.I know that my main machine is running an x server localy . Would my machine be the "X server" for the Pentium? Or would I use a middle man (seperate machine)?Thanks!! -- Donzer Broadcasting on SuSe ----/ / _ ---/ / (_)__ __ ____ __ --/ /__/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / -/____/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\ 7.1

7.2 Install successful, but every boot fails.
by Argentium G. Tiger 02 Aug '01

Okay, thanks to Volker I made it this far... Now comes another odd problem. This system board has onboard SCSI, and I have four scsi devices: 0: an 8 gig Seagate SCSI drive 1: an 8 gig Seagate SCSI drive 2: a Plextor 32X UltraPlex CDROM 3: a Plextor 4X PlexWriter Anyway, in this SMP system (iWill DBS100 motherboard, 2 Pentium III's @ 450 MHz each), I get this far, and then the boot just stops: ... request_module[block-major-8]: Root fs not mounted VFS: Cannot open root device 08:03 Kernel Panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 08:03 And that's where it stops. This happens both when the system bios is configured to boot in the order: A,C,SCSI, as well as SCSI,A,C I've done two separate from-scratch installs, one with Kernel 2.2 for SMP, one for Kernel 2.4 for SMP - same results. /boot is /dev/sda1 swap is /dev/sda2 / is /dev/sda3 /pub is /dev/sdb1 Ideas? Am I missing an important lilo hardware parameter? Argentium

I heared some advise that you rather should not update to rpm 4.x.x since there would be several problems with the normal SuSE programs then. I thought about updating rpm too and for that reason I didn't. Cheers ...

It's a bit weired in the menu, I don't remember the path to click. Cheers ..

rpm incompatibility
by pierre＠saiph.com 02 Aug '01

Hi, Im new to this list, I couldnt find archives for the list, and I apologize if my question has already been debated. I have SuSE 7.0, and made no upgrade. I recently wished to install or upgrade some pieces of software, so I found and downloaded the corresponding rpm packages, but I could not install them! rpm issued: only packages with major numbers <= 3 are supported by this version of RPM Indeed I have an rpm version 3.0.4, indeed there is a 4.0.x rpm version out, indeed the packages I wanted to install were built with this new version. Some probes on different sources showed me the problem has been met by others, the recommended solution being to upgrade first to 3.0.5, hence to 4.0.x I feel uneasy at upgrading rpm: its central, its tricky, I have no deep knowlege of its structure, and I fear to harm my installation, or to spend a lot of time. I dont understand why there is not more noise about it. rpm.org website doesnt even mention it. Not a word either on SuSE support database. Has SuSE 7.1 adopted the new rpm? Am I a fool not to adopt the new distrib, if I dont need it? please give feedback! -- Pierre Imbaud <pierre(a)saiph.com> 12 Rue des Bosquets 91480 Quincy Sous Sénart France Tel: 01 69 00 94 57 Fax 09 47
