easy runlevel editor like "ntsysv" in Red Hat
by Chavez Gutierrez, Freddy 29 May '02

29 May '02

I've no found an easy way to edit the services that has to be initiated at booting. Red Hat comes with "ntsysv" that allow me do that easily. In Suse I use Yast2 but it's very tedious. I've tried to use "chkconfig" but it seems doesn't work. Saludos, Freddy Chavez.

Hi partner, I've installed wine and also Yahoo Messenger which for MSWindows and the result is wonderfull. I can launch my Yahoo Messenger client with wine...and it also trying to connect the Yahoo Messenger Server. According to the message of wine. I can configure my wine to join the internet sock of my MS Windows application (Yahoo Messenger client for windows) and the internet sock of my linux. But I don't know from where and how I configure it. Anybody has tried to do so ? Please share your knowledge to me. I am new. Thank you very much. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! - Official partner of 2002 FIFA World Cup http://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com

Upgrade to KDE 3.0.1 and YaST2 becomes a Chocolate Teapot
by Ian 29 May '02

29 May '02

Hi All, I've also found problems with YaST2 since upgrading(?) to KDE 3.0.1. The /var/log/y2log' reports [liby2] Y2PluginCompnent.cc(loadplugin) : 228 error loading plugin /usr/lib/YaST2/plugin/libpy2qt.so.2 : libqt.so.3 : cannot open shared object file : no such file or directory [Interpreter] clients/inst_choose_desktop.ycp: 528 Error loading plugin for qt. If anyone has any words of wisdom for getting around this, thanks in advance for your time and effort. Is there a better place to get this reported to the boys and girls @ SuSE? regards ian

Can't Powerdown SuSE 8.0?
by Marc Boorshtein 29 May '02

29 May '02

I have SuSE 8.0 installed. When I shutdown the system, it won't power down. I looked in lilo.conf and tried setting append="apm=on", but that didn't help it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Marc Boorshtein

PDF files won't open.
by Brian Durant 29 May '02

29 May '02

I am having a problem when clicking on PDF files - that they no longer will open after I removed the SuSE 7.3 Pro's version of CUPS. When I try to ./configure gimp-print I get the following error message: configure: WARNING: PDF documentation cannot be regenerated! checking for db2ps... no configure: WARNING: PostScript user's guide cannot be regenerated! checking for db2html... no I assume that these two files/libs or whatever they are (db2ps and db2html) are somehow related to CUPS. The important issue is how do I get these two thingys back on my SuSE 7.3 Pro install? Cheers, Brian

X shutdown behavior
by Peter Taylor 29 May '02

29 May '02

When I kill Xwindows with control-alt-backspace, it doesn't die cleanly (I use default runlevel 3). I have to use control-C to get a prompt back. The "who" command tells me I am logged in more times than I should be ("peter pts/0"). The command, "ps aux | grep peter" tells me that kdeinit is not getting shut down (nor is artsd): peter 13754 0.0 0.8 19540 6552 ? S 13:21 0:00 kdeinit: Running... peter 13757 0.0 0.8 19452 6784 ? S 13:21 0:00 kdeinit: dcopserver --nosid peter 13760 0.0 1.0 21476 7952 ? S 13:21 0:00 kdeinit: klauncher peter 13772 0.3 0.6 7612 5252 ? S 13:21 0:04 /opt/kde3//bin/artsd -F 10 -S 4096 -s 5 -m artsmessage -l 3 -f How do I fix this? In addition, for security reasons, I would like to log off as well as kill X if control-alt-backspace is pressed when the screensaver lock is on. Thanks, Peter Taylor

<OT> Suse, Caldera, TurboLinux and COnnectiva to announce a "non-merger" merger
by Harry G 29 May '02

29 May '02

http://www.linuxandmain.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=77 May be a good idea, as long as borders are respected. It will cause a good push to standardize on the LSB, IF it is done right. Guess RedHat shouldn't have offered the rebate for upgrading from other distro's. Just my opinion. Harry G

Boot Failure
by Dave Barton 29 May '02

29 May '02

Yesterday everything was working OK. Today I start my SuSE 7.3 box and my boot log is full of failed messages and I cannot start X. It appears that somehow I have lost my modules.dep file. My boot.msg file shows: "doneSetting up /lib/modules/2.4.10-4GBfailed" and subsequently reports: "modprobe: modprobe: Can't open dependencies file /lib/modules/2.4.10-4GB/modules.dep (No such file or directory)" Can anyone offer any advice on how to repair this problem. TIA Dave
