gpg Error Messages While Running YaST Online Update
by Robert C. Paulsen Jr. 29 May '02

29 May '02

The SuSE support database has an article about error messages about gpg when running YaST Online Update: http://sdb.suse.de/sdb/en/html/swiegra_you-gpg.html and offers two possible solutions: 1. Start YaST as normal KDE user and enter root password when prompted. 2. Run YaST from an xterm. (The solution does not specify if the intention is to run the ncurses version or to start the X version.) Well, the first solution doesn't help me at all since that is already the way I run YaST and I still get those error messages with YOU. The second solution allows YOU to run, but the xterm window shows an error message for each package basically saying that the signature could not be verified. Note that I do have gpg installed and /root/.gnupg/* looks good to me. Also note that fou4s can run (and check signatures) without complaint. All this makes me wonder if I am having a different problem than the one discussed in the support database. Any thoughts? -- Robert C. Paulsen, Jr. robert(a)paulsenonline.net

Re: [SLE] Editing XF86Config

Hi Dale, > You said you were trying to edit the XF86Config file, are you sure you > are not supposed to to edit the XF86Config-4 file? Are you running XFree > 3 or 4? Not sure, whatever comes with SuSE 8 & gets configured with SAX2 ... pretty sure it's 4. I noticed that anyway and I can't find an XF86Config-4 file anywhere, only a XF86Config file! Perhaps it's just SuSE being non-standard? James ***** James C.

Hi James, > They kind of are an extension to searching folders. > Basically, they let you define a number of search criteria which you can > then apply to any number of your mail folders, and the mails that match > appear in that VFolder. > So, for example, I have one that checks for mails sent to me from people > at Tolis, the company who produce the BRU backup software, it shows me > relevant mails from all of my 70+ mail folders So can you use them (&/or evolution) to handle multiple e-mail accounts? If so can that be multiple e-mail accounts aquired by different methods (e.g. across the network and by ISDN or modem? James James C.

FAT bogus
by usb 29 May '02

29 May '02

Hi ! This doesn't prevent my linux from starting neither from reading my DOS file systems from, for example, Konqueror. I even can write in them. In fact I got a w2000 (FAT32) and a w311/dos622 (DOS) partitions (+ reiserfs). Start thru LILO. No problem with w311. Since I added a scd hdd, cannot start w2000 any more, even reinstalling it. When starting linux I get the message as attchd. Kernel is 2.4.19pre8 all DOS and FAT options in the menuconfig are set on "Y". Any hint ?

Hi, Using SuSE 8.0 with unsupported GeForce 2 Card. Continually crashes after if I install with old card and then switch to new card (even after I apply drivers). Does anyone know how to force SuSE Linux to accept the new card & drivers (which I have) AT BUILD TIME? James C.

Postscript printers.
by J. Scott Thayer, M.D. 29 May '02

29 May '02

It is my pleasant fantasy that all I have to do is buy a postscript printer and all my Suse 8.8/Linux printing problems wil totally disappear. Can anyone comment on this train of thought? It would seem not unreasonable but I just don't know. Scott

Does anyone use vfolders in Evolution? What are they for, how do I use them and what's the benefit? Currently, I read my email, copy it to another folder and delete it from my inbox. Tom

I don't want to look like an idiot but why would a clearpixel.gif be a spyware issue?
