sftp problem
by zentara 29 Mar '02

29 Mar '02

Hi, I am trying to setup a remote account and it uses sftp. When I connect, it asks for a password, connects and displays the <sftp> prompt for about 1 second. Then it exits with the error message sftp> Warning: child process (/usr/local/bin/ssh2) exited with code 0. Anyone know what causes this? Ssh2 works by itself. -- $|=1;while(1){print pack("h*",'75861647f302d4560275f6272797f3');sleep(1); for(1..16){for(8,32,8,7){print chr($_);}select(undef,undef,undef,.05);}}

KDE picking up GNOME settings?
by Clayton Cornell 29 Mar '02

29 Mar '02

Ok, I had some spare time this evening so I decided to play with the various WMs I installed. I was mucking about in GNOME, playing with the settings, and turned on the Aqua style. I logged out and back in again, this time to KDE - my default and preferred WM. KDE has picked up the GNOME Aqua style. Huh???? Now why would a GNOME setting be carried over to KDE? C.

Governance of Linux
by Dennis J.Tuchler 29 Mar '02

As I understand it, final approval of all changes in the Linux code is made by Linus Torvalds. What happens if Linus Torvalds is disabled? Is there a backup system to take over the chore of approving changes to the Linux code? -- dj tuchler dtuchler(a)earthlink.net

Looking for ...
by Maura Edelweiss 29 Mar '02

Does anyone know about some good examples of C code programs / routines ??? I wonder whther SuSE kit comes with something of this kind. I only have the C manual by Kernighan and Ritchie. For writing simple C program this is sufficient. However for system calls it's not. I remember all SGI UNIX (called IRIX) systems come with on-line documentation of each C library function and program samples illustrating how to use them. Thank you in advance for your suggestions.

What you are advocating is conceding to windows in the areas where it leads today. I'm hoping linux will be a total solution tomorrow. Remember Microsoft's suit against kde a couple years ago? Because when you moved the mouse over the K button on the Kpanel, a tooltip popped up that said, "Where do you want to go tomorrow?" Microsoft claimed this was an infringement on their slogan, "Where do you want to go today?" KDE was forced to remove the tooltip in settlement, but the point is not lost on the community. Linux as a total solution is where we want to go tomorrow. Crossover is just a step in the right direction. John

CrossOver Office with SuSE Linux
by David List 29 Mar '02

Has anyone here tried the CrossOver Office with SuSE Linux? It sounds pretty exciting to me. The price is too steep however, if it shows quirks with SuSE Linux for some reason. Best regards, David List

KDE and GNOME irritating problems
by rob 29 Mar '02

29 Mar '02

Hi all, 1. On Gnome, typing in the "m" character into any part of the control center brings up a menu :) How do I fix that? e.g. I can't type in "xmms" for a mime type helper. 2. On KDE, many Windows, panels, menus have irritating colored stripes on them. I don't think this is a theme :) Some of them go away if I resize the window. Thanks a lot, Rob. -- ------------------------- Numeric Python EM Project www.pythonemproject.com
