Time to say Goodbye...

Hi there, well, I have been participating in this list as a SuSE employee for almost four years now. Within this time, I was involved in the creation of 13 releases of SuSE Linux and I had a blast. Now it's time to move on - I will be leaving SuSE at the end of March to start working for another cool Open Source company - MySQL AB in Sweden. Since I will be busy relocating to Hamburg (Germany) and taking care of a lot of administrative stuff in the next weeks, I will unsubscribe from this list soon. But as soon as my life is back in order, I will be back - promised! In the future, you can reach me at lenz(a)grimmer.com. I would like to thank you all for being a great community - this list is really unique regarding the atmosphere and friendlyness as well as the high level of knowledge and expertise about SuSE Linux and Linux in general. Try to keep it this way! I look forward to being back to this list soon. Take care and keep up the good work, LenZ -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Lenz Grimmer SuSE GmbH mailto:grimmer@suse.de Deutschherrnstr. 15-19 http://www.suse.de/~grimmer/ 90429 Nuernberg, Germany The gods play games with men as balls.

Mahmood's/SuSE's post-sales service/servicio post-venta
by Jacek Boboli 01 Mar '02

01 Mar '02

(versión en castellano abajo). Christopher Mahmood is an unpleasant and uneducated guy ! 1.- Instead of helping, he wrote in a past message : it is not my responsability if SuSE doesn't help. Where then does he take the authority from then to be the one who decides an unsubscription from the lists. 2.- My problem is typically spanish (PPPoE instead of PPPoA like in most countries) but, from the other hand, there are very few experienced ADSL people, generally, and less again in the spanish list. Hence the dual application of the message. 3.- Last time which was also the first one, - this is the second one -, I sent my message in english to the spanish list, (it was obvious that my problem occured in Spain). Chistopher Mahmood sent me an Email saying that was very rude. For that reason, now, I sent it in dual language, not to be rude. 4.- last time, in spanish, I answered to Mahmood's Email pointing out that the most rude and impolite was not to ensure service after having sold a product. One of his answers was that I sd not use his private EMail address (see point 1.-) Now it seems, that for such unpleasant matters, it is the only one I should use. Well, Mr.Mahmood, don't worry : unsubscribe me : if I remain linuxer, - I don't know -, any way, I have learned not to remain SusEr. So good a service ! And Your people wanted me to pay for the "Professionnal Class" help ?!!? (lets remember there was not even an online pay for private user ad hock solution available). ¿ Does democracy disturb You, Mr.Mahmood ? Bye ! ____________ Christopher Mahmood es una persona desagradable y maleducada. 1.- en lugar de ayudar, él me escribió en un reciente mensaje : no es mi responsabilidad si SuSE no presta ayuda alguna. ¿ De donde saca entonces la autoridad para dar a alguien de baja de las mailing lists ? 2.- mi problema es particular a España (PPPoE en lugar de PPPoA como en la mayoría de los países) pero, por otra parte, hay muy poca gente con experiencia en ADSL, i todavía menos a la lista castellana. De ahí que mandará mi requerimiento de ayuda a ambas listas. 3.- la primera vez, - ésta es la segunda -, mandé mi mensaje en inglés a la lista castellana. (Era evidente que mi problema occuría en España). Christopher Mahmood me mandó un mensaje escribiendo que eso era muy grosero. Por esa razón, esta vez, mandé mi mensaje en ambos idiomas. 4.- La última vez le contesté a su EMail al Señor Mahmood mencionandole que lo mas grosero y maleducado era de vender un producto y, despues, de no asegurar ninguna clase de servicio. Entonces, una de sus respuestas fue que no podía utilizar su dirección privada de correo electrónico. ¡ Ahora, para asuntos tan desagradables, parece que sea la única que se pueda utilizar ! Pues, Señor Mahmood, no se preocupe : de me de baja, si sigo de linuxero, - no lo sé -, en todo caso, no será de SuSEro. ¡ Un servicio tan eficiente ! ¿¡¡ Y su gente quería que pagara por el servicio de la clase "Profesional" !!!?? (Acordémosnos que ni siquiera había una variante de pago por caso, en linea, para fines privados, domésticos). ¿ le molesta la democracia, Señor Mahmood ? ¡ Adio-oos ! -----Original Message----- From: Christopher Mahmood <ckm(a)suse.com> To: Jacek Boboli <hussaile(a)ant.pl> Date: jeudi 21 février 2002 3:44 Subject: Re: [SLE] last-último /var/log/message conexion ADSL connection >[ this is a private mail, do not reply to the list please ] >I asked you nicely not to crosspost between our lists (which you >forwarded to SLE in a response).

The Lexmark E210 is a GDi or Winprinter and their is no direcet SuSE support. The only way get it working is to use the Lexmark supplied Linux driver and roll back Ghostscript and Foomatic several version. Lexmark has not produced an updated driver and I was unwilling to roll back by printing system by hand for the printer so I have not installed it.

Hi all, Some time ago I created a backup of root filesystem with dump. Then my hard drive broke out, but I decided to do a full reinstall with update. All I want now is to read just one or two files in the old files created with dump. How is it possible?? Praise

Toshiba Techra 8000 and Xircom network card
by Jon A. Cleveland 28 Feb '02

28 Feb '02

All, I'm trying to set up SuSe Linux 7.3 on a Toshiba Techra 8000 and a Xircom RealPort Cardbus Ethernet 10/100+Modem 56. I've gone through the standard installation (Default + Office). I've had problems in the past and am again having problems with my Xircom card recognizing the network. I am wondering if anyone has experience with this and would have any helpful tips getting me up and running. Thanks, Jon.

Hi Deborah, The creator's webpage is a good place to start: http://www.anders.com/projects/netatalk Honestly, though - there's almost nothing to do. Just install it, start it, and fire up your Mac.
