SuSE Support, where are you?
by Tom Poe 29 Aug '01

29 Aug '01

Hi: Anyone from SuSE to help me out, here? Here's what the RFC says about envelope headers: Generating SMTP Commands from RFC 822 Headers 2. The return address in the MAIL command SHOULD, if possible, be derived from the system's identity for the submitting (local) user, and the "From:" header field otherwise. If there is a system identity available, it SHOULD also be copied to the Sender header field if it is different from the address in the From header field. (Any Sender field that was already there SHOULD be removed.) Now, my problem is, SuSE7.1Pro is using the envelope header as the return path, rather than my KMail identity info. I recently switched ISP's, and the return path still uses tompoe(a)source.net, rather than my KMail identity and reply to address: tompoe(a)renonevada.net. I need help to find out where SuSE7.1Pro is looking to find the old identity address, so I can update it. I updated Sendmail, and have looked through a lot of config files, but can't locate it. When I bring up SuSE Help, I don't have search capability in it with dig, so I can't use that. Any support techs from SuSE reading the list mail, really could help me out by letting me know where the envelope sender info is stored. Thanks, Tom

7.2 - Truetype fonts?
by Rick Green 29 Aug '01

29 Aug '01

I finally scraped together the money to buy 7.2pro, and I'm in the process of setting up a new machine with it. I did a default install with yast2, (the first time, btw, that yast2 has worked for me). Network setup via DHCP was a breeze. Sound setup was a breeze. (whew! Sound has always been a bugaboo for me, causing loud screeches of feedback and/or system lockups on every other system I've tried). yast2 detected my video (Nvidia GEforce2mx 32mb) and X came up without any trouble. After a few hours of exploration and stability check, I decided to go back to yast and see what other packages I might want to install. I ended up selecting (explicitly or automatically) 94 of them, and the install went smoothly. Among the packages I installed were the truetype font server for X, and two packages of truetype fonts. I also enabled 'antialiasing' in the KDE control panel. After restarting X and KDE, I'm finding that my screen is less readable not more! The standard Konsole apears to be using a variable-pitch font, but it's spacing letters wide apart, and when I backspace or left-arrow to make command-line edits, the 'length' of a backspace appears to be slightly less than the width of the character. The result is a very confused screen! What have I missed? Is there a way I can have the fixed-pitch fonts available to me for the xterm and Konsole windows, and the variable-pitch fonts for the browser and Staroffice? -- Rick Green "I have the heart of a little child, and the brain of a genius. ... and I keep them in a jar under my bed"

Nothing you just download a file, which is a script of 8mb and call the script ( not as root ) and up pops up a nice GUI which configures most of it for you. Netscape and Mozilla work like a charm, couldnt make Konqueror work. This is a konqueror problem and is known/sortable. Also downloaded the plugins for viewing word and excel files.
