Hi How do I set thing up in konqueror so, that by clicking a e-mail address, it would open kmail and have the recipient address already there.. I remember having that before, but now it does not work... I don't find any configuration option for it. Jaska.

RE: [SLE] ide-scsi in 7.2
by Peter Dixson 30 Aug '01

30 Aug '01

Jostein, Thank you for your offer to help. My problem, which no one seems to understand, is nothing to do with links. It is that although the ide-scsi module is loaded, nothing prevents the ide-cd drivers from taking over hdc & hdd. I thought the append line in /etc/lilo.config was supposed to do this. In boot.msg I get the line '<6>scsi1 : SCSI host adaptor emulation for IDE ATAPI devices' but no mention of scd0, scd1 because earlier in the boot process the ide drivers have loaded. XCDRoast cannot see the CD drives but can see my scsi scanner on scsi0 I have overcome all the linux newbie problems in the last few months and now have a fully working system except for cd writing, which is essential to me. Regards Peter Darren I have tried the initrd_modules line but no luck

sis 630 graphic card
by Luz Futten 30 Aug '01

30 Aug '01

Past week I sent a message about having problems with a sis 630 graphic card in a portable. Well, I still haven't fix it. The only solution I was given at this time is to cut features and use it with a maximum of 8 bit resolution, no acelleration, no nothing... Searching and searching, I've found a url: http://www.linuxhq.com/kernel/v2.3/patch/patch-2.4.0- test11/linux_drivers_video_sis_sis_main.c.html that talks about this. As I'm not a programmer right now, I saw that the link contains stuff written in C... Do I have to copy the content of this link and rename it as "whatever".sis.c as 'wild' c code? Any programmer out there to tell me if this "driver" is useful,doesn't cut features (I'm supposed to have a 32mb graphic card and to use it with 8 bit res. it's a crime!!!) and if so, how to make it work in my portable? Thanks! Also, I've visited the SIS website, and I've found that at this url: http://www.sis.com/support/driver/linux.htm you can find the linux drivers that sis have. I didn't found nothing useful. any other tips on how to manage with a portable motherboard full of sis630 chips (vga, soundcard, etc) and make it usable for suse 7.x? Thanks again! Luz F.

Printing with epson
by Darren Harmon 30 Aug '01

30 Aug '01

Hi; I have an epson stylus photo 700. Yast 2 has drivers for that model, but no matter what setting I choose the print quality is awful. Has anyone else had problems with this make of printer in SuSE 7.2? Is it better to turn to cups rather than yast2? p.s. How do you cancel a print job. Sometimes I choose a wrong setting and I get page after page of garbage, with no way to stop it (even after a reboot it continues)? -- ---------- Darren Harmon http://users.breathemail.net//darren.harmon1/

KOffice under 7.1 has issues with .docs that the 7.2 version does not have...
by Ben Rosenberg 30 Aug '01

30 Aug '01

Well, I guess whoever made the KOffice packages for 7.1 KDE 2.2 never checked to see if it would import .doc's correctly. I have some of the same word documents at home as I do at work and they are not seen nor am I able to open them. These are the same documentation that I reference at work..and it's a no go. I guess more care was taken for the 7.2 RPM's. Damn...I guess I have to continue to use SO5.2 at home..because I'm not upgrading at home right now. Could someone at SuSE look into this...and yes I deleted all Koffice related config files and let them be recreated. Yes, I removed the RC versions of KOffice before installing the final release. *sigh* This shouldn't be that much of a pain... -- Ben Rosenberg mailto:ben@whack.org cat CE|ME|NT|XP > /dev/null

CUPs?
by Tracer Bullet 30 Aug '01

30 Aug '01

As there has been much discussion about the CUPS printing setup in Linux here, I suddenly find myself with a question! ;-) As I seem to be one of the few on this list that is actually using SuSE as a standard desktop OS with no networking, etc. involved, I find also that my requirements are somewhat different than some of the higher uses you guys put SuSE too. So, my question is this, should/would CUPS be beneficial to someone like me right now or would it be best to stay with the default Unix print setup that I am using without problems now? I have a HP Deskjet printer, so postscript is not a big consideration right now. I also realize, I won't stay in the simple setup forever for as I progress, I will also move into networking etc. with Linux. I do quite a bit of printing though and if CUPS will provide me with better control over printing, it would be a good idea to use it, right? end of line Tracer -- ---KMail 1.3--- SuSE Linux v7.2--- Registered Linux User #225206 /tracerb(a)sprintmail.com/ *Magic Page Products* *Team Amiga* http://home.sprintmail.com/~tracerb

PHP still won't work!!!
by Tom Kostiainen 30 Aug '01

30 Aug '01

Hi! I still can't get PHP to be processed by apache. When the default page and rcapache says PHP is loaded/installed, is that someting the SuSE install has just written into the scripts or really something reported by apache? I can't find the mod_php4.c anywhere, wich the <IfModule mod_php4.c> AddType application/x-httpd-php .php AddType application/x-httpd-php .php4 AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps </IfModule> searches for. Where should it be located? Also, I can't find any LoadModule lines concerning PHP anywhere. Shouldn't there be at least one? If, where and what? Plase, someone check your settings so I could finally get apache to process my PHP files. Cheers! - tk
