>I am going to install the the kde 2.2 and I wanted opinions on whether the >KDE ftp for the SuSE distro's or the SuSE ftp with K2.2. is more stable? What is everybody after in KDE 2.2? Is this upgrade worth the effort, or are a lot of folks waiting for a 2.2.1 or later version or something?

by Ricardo Rodriguez 30 Aug '01

30 Aug '01

It seems to be that one of my pcmcia network cards is not working because is trying to use the IRQ 10 which hapens to be taken by something else. How can I make sure of this? Is there a way to check my IRQ's? How can I change a device to use a different IRQ with out having the appropiate driver? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

hd cluster size
by Jack Malone 30 Aug '01

30 Aug '01

I'm running suse 7.2 with resierfs partions. I have it partitioned off as /boot 20 megs / 14 gigs /home 3 gigs I have setup a samba share on / as /horizon for the directory an put some files over there for our network. it seems that the files are taking up more space than they should. I right clicked on a directory that reports as 12 megs but using 72 megs. I see this size difference on all the directories on this machine. im running samba 2.2.0a. Is there a problem with samba shares an windows reporting the files taking up more space then they are are they really taking up that amount of space. Is there a way to declare the cluster size for a linux partition using resiefs. thanks jack malone Network Administrator EAST TEXAS LIGHTHOUSE FOR THE BLIND dba HORIZON INDUSTRIES 903-595-3444 http://www.horizonind.com

slow cdda2wav

Hello. I just upgraded from kernel 2.4.6 to kernel 2.4.9 with no patches and the same configuration file. I am also using the newest cdrtools ( 1.11a06 ). Everything was fine using 2.4.6, but now with 2.4.9, my hard drive can't keep up with the ripping process. I have the hard drive optimized using hdparm, and that same configuration has worked for me for 2 years. Now, suddenly, my Plextor 12/10/32S rips at 5.4X in order to keep up with the 8.03MB/sec bandwidth partition 7 allows (hdparm result). What can I do? Has anyone experienced this problem? -- noodlez: Karol Pietrzak PGP KeyID: 0x3A1446A0

Limitation of UID of passwd
by Steven Wong 30 Aug '01

30 Aug '01

Does anyone know what is the limitation of the UID in passwd for SuSE Linux 7.x We have users whose UID is 200001 > with this, the users cannot login and when you try su to the user, it give you back "su: cannot set user id: Invalid argument" Our passwd are on NIS. Account lower than 200001 have no problems. Steven

KDE2.2/Screensaver
by kbb0927＠cs.com 30 Aug '01

30 Aug '01

Hello All, I upgraded 4 boxen of SuSE Personal 7.2 w/KDE 2.2 from the most recent rpm's on SuSE's site dated 8/27/01. On 3/4 machines, with all being equal and running xfree 4.1, on one works with the screensaver. The others act like they are but never blank out. If move the mouse, a screen refresh takes place, but the screen saver never shows. On the machine that the screensaver does work, when the focus is not on the current window, the title bar turns gray as if it is inactive. On the others it does not. I did run SuSEconfig as had been suggested by others on the list who recently upgraded. Other than that, KDE2.2 runs just superbly. Any clues? Any files I should be suspect of? 2/3 non-screensaving machines were reinstall of a "sick" KDE2.2 install, but one was running KDE2.1.2 and this was the first upgrade attempt to KDE2.2. Regards, Keith B.

Telnet Sessions
by Patrick Nelson 30 Aug '01

30 Aug '01

Was wondering if there is a quick way to know what is the max amount of telnet, ssh, and/or ftp I can have open at a time. A quick value that I can grab programmatically is my hope.
