kmail crashing again in thread mode
by Richard Bos 02 Dec '02

02 Dec '02

Hi, I have the same problems as about a week ago that kmail is crashing when a message is being deleted and kmail is used in thread mode. Anyone else encountering this problem? It started after attempting to delete a message that was posted at Sunday evening around 2300 hours. -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless

2nd update for StarOffice 6.0
by John Lamb 02 Dec '02

02 Dec '02

Sun have released a second update patch for StarOffice 6.0: http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/show.pl?target=patches/xprod-StarOffice&nav… It's mostly bug fixes. Watch out for the special instruction: 'If you want to patch a Network Installation (installation with "setup -net"), the administrator first has to make a Workstation Installation, before the patch installation program can patch the Server Installation.' You can probably just copy .sversionrc from your home directory to /root instead and then install the patch - it worked for me. JDL

Configure usb scanner
by Jose Thadeu Cavalcante 02 Dec '02

02 Dec '02

Hi, I have the following problems: I installed an Acer/Benq 3300 usb scanner that works fine. The problem is that the scanner is only recognized by the system after I run the script "acerfirm u176v042.bin" that update the firmware of scanner. Every time I was turn on my computer I need to do that. How can I automatically do that on the startup? Thanks Thadeu

How to mount CD in 8.1
by Kevin McLauchlan 02 Dec '02

02 Dec '02

G'day all. I just backed up my /home and other interesting directories on 8.0, tested by retrieving files and directories from the CD and opening them, and then installed 8.1Pro from DVD. It appeared to go smoothly. Everything detected; no showstoppers. I then ran YOU several times, until it stopped asking for additional passes, and I shut down gracefully and restarted. On my primary IDE, have two 40G hard drives. On my secondary IDE, I have a PlexWriter CD-R/RW, and a Pioneer DVD (model 116 with current firmware). I can't seem to mount the CD. Here are my results (among many others...) linux:~ # mount /media/cdrom /dev/cdrom: Input/output error mount: you must specify the filesystem type linux:~ # (really? wasn't true in 8.0...) linux:~ # mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/cdrom, or too many mounted file systems (could this be the IDE device where you in fact use ide-scsi so that sr0 or sda or so is needed?) linux:~ # (well, no it isn't, because none of those special devices exist) Here's what I get if I try to "Change source of installation" in YaST: "Error Unable to create installation source from URL 'CD:///'. ERROR(Media:invalid filesystem)" Here is my fstab: /dev/hda2 / reiserfs defaults 1 1 /dev/hdb3 /home reiserfs defaults 1 2 /dev/hdb2 /var reiserfs defaults 1 2 /dev/hdb1 swap swap pri=42 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 usbdevfs /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs noauto 0 0 /dev/cdrecorder /media/cdrecorder auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 /dev/dvd /media/dvd auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 /dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto noauto,user,sync 0 0 To my naive and untrained eye, I see a device /dev/cdrom which is supposed to get mountpoint /media/cdrom. Yes, I have also tried to mount the "cdrecorder", with similar results. It doesn't matter if I have a SuSE CD in either/both drives, or one of my backup CDs in either/both. Furthermore, if I view the directory structure, there is indeed a directory called /media/cdrom. Also, if I look at the Hardware Info, in YaST, the PlexWriter is listed a couple of times, though the DVD drive doesn't seem to appear. So... a) what am I doing wrong b) how do I fix it c) why is this different from 8.0, which never gave me this particular grief? Thank you for your time, /kevin

kr7a 133 r133 and suse 8.0 - raid troubles!!
by Blackimp 02 Dec '02

02 Dec '02

I'm not able to format linux partitions if I use 2 maxtor 60gb on raid0, plugged to hpt 372 integrated on motherboard abit kr7a 133 raid 133. I flashed bios with official last release that contains HPT bios 2.32 I waited months for an official release with 2.32 being provided thinking this could solve my problems but actually it has not. Please is there any chance to make it work properly or have I to plug the 2 Maxtor to non raid controller as only possible solution? Thank you! Gigio
