Mozilla and Java
by John Sved 01 Mar '02

01 Mar '02

Hello, I have installed from the ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/mozilla/0.9.8/7.2 mozilla-0.9.8.5.i386.rpm mozilla-mail-0.9.8.5.i386.rpm Also installed: IBMJava2-JAAS IBMJava2-JAVACOMM IBMJava2-JRE 1.3-67 IBMJava2-SDK java2 These are as current as the SuSE 7.2 online update. The Mozilla browser "crashes" on some web pages. Java console crashes. FYI Konquerer is configured for Java and works fine. FYI NS4.7 on another machine with SuSe 7.2 also has some difficulty with the same web pages. What exactly has to be done to configure Mozilla with Java ? What is xpi ? Is it necessary ? Where is it ? How is it installed ? What is jre1.3.x ? Is it necessary ? Where is it ? How is it installed ? What are the other RPMs on the above mentioned suse FTP? Are they necessary ? What is their main function ? Is there a procedure somewhere that gives a checklist and end user (who knows Netscape) oriented explanation of what is needed to support Mozilla 0.9.8 on SuSE Linux? Where is it ?

Occasional Mouse Failure
by Dennis Tuchler 01 Mar '02

01 Mar '02

I use S.u.S.E. 7.3. Sometimes, after booting up, the mouse movements are not recorded on the screen. That is, when the X screen appears shortly before ximian-gnome starts up, the cursor does not respond to the mouse movement. Nor does it respond when I am asked to put in my user name and password. I reboot, and the problem is resolved. Is there any way I can fiddle here or there to prevent this from happening? Thanks dj tuchler

Annoying Konqueror lock-ups
by Mark James Dougan 01 Mar '02

01 Mar '02

Hi, When I use Konqueror as a file manager, on opening certain directories it will freeze with rapidly flickering patterns where the horizontal and vertical scroll bars should go. It's a reproducible problem with certain directories, but I've not yet established a firm cause and effect relationship with what part of the directory's content is producing the effect (although I suspect it may be related to image files). I'm running Suse 7.3 on an 800MHz Athlon with an nvidia geforce 2mx. I've had the problem since installation, and it has survived upgrading from KDE 2.2.1 to 2.2.2 (and to the latest 2.2.2 builds on ftp.suse), from nvidia drivers 1251 to 2313, from kernel 2.4.10 to 2.4.16. (I'm not sure if the problem survived the change to qt2.3.2, as that slowed everything down so much that I changed straight back to 2.3.1) Has anyone else had (and solved) this problem? Cheers Mark

[SLE] Can't hear audio cd's
by Jeff Zurcher 01 Mar '02

01 Mar '02

Hello, I recently installed 7.3 pro, and can't hear audio cd's playing. I have checked the disk permissions, the cd to soundcard audio cable is intact, the sound card is playing system sounds, the K cdplayer finds the cd and identfies the artist/song name. I have looked on the suse website for any other relevant articles and have found none.....the cd is actually a cd-rw, and is identified correctly by the OS. Can someone point me in the right direction?......... Additional info regarding the problem happily provided upon request Jeff Zurcher

3DFX Frustrating
by DSprankle2＠netscape.net 01 Mar '02

01 Mar '02

I made the switch to SuSE7.3 Personal from Mandrake8.1 this past weekend. I've invested hours of configuring software and getting it to run in SuSE, and configuring my local network, that's ok, I knew that going in. After all this time spent the only thing that pisses me off is my 3D graphics. I use a 3DFX Voodoo 3 2000 AGP. With Mandrake8.1 out of the box I was running Quake3 and Return to Castle Wlofenstein with absolutely no configuration on my part, at over 100fps. I just don't have enough linux know how to get this working on in SuSE.Quake3 runs with Mesa, but it it slow,slow,slow. I am hoping someone will help me with this so I can be totally satisfied with SuSE. If I can provide further info, that will help troubleshooting, let me know whatm and how to obtain it and I will include.

How to set up a HP 930C?
by David List 01 Mar '02

01 Mar '02

I have just reinstalled my main server system, and have grave problems installing the printer. It is a HP 930C connected to the LAN through a D-Link DP-101 printserver (plugged onto the printer itself). I remember that my first SuSE Linux 7.3 installation on this system also gave me problems in this area, but somehow I got over them. Now I have struggled for a couple of days, and that is somewhat more than I expect to use for a "simple" job as setting up a printer. The printer and the printserver work, which can be confirmed by printing from other nodes on the LAN. Furthermore, when I try setting up the printer through YaST2 the test pages - both color and text - print out just fine. When I get around to use the printer after the setup, nothing happens. I have seen a patched apsfilter package which I have installed. Otherwise I have updated the system with YOU. I have backups from the previous installation, and I have tried moving all the relevant files to their libraries, but this plan didn't work either - same result. The problem is that I don't get any output from the printer. With some settings (adjusted from YaST2) the printer takes in a sheet of paper, but then the job dies. With other settings, the job dies instantly. When I do 'lpq' right after sending a job, I get a message about the job being removed. That is, the job got removed in the same moment it got issued. What should I be looking for? I have run out of ideas. Best regards, David List
