Rocks >> Equant James, I'm no expert on the Proliant line, but Compaq (HP) sends me tons of CDs for them. In particular they send me a set of "Quickstart CDs" fairly often. I think that they have some Linux specific files and drivers on there. Do you have those for your machine? and have you checked to see if there is anything you need to run before you try to install SuSE. BTW: My wife works for Equant in Atlanta, GA. If you have intercompany mail, maybe she could send a recent set of quickstart CDs to you.

>> Are you aware of a safe delete or undelete for SuSE Linux. >> Project Athena at MIT had one at one point, but I don't beleive >> it is supported any more. If you are using it as a Samba server, the latest couple versions of Samba have had an extension for this. I think it was experimental in 2.2.4. I assume it is more stable in 2.2.5. Of course only files deleted via Samba are protected via this solution. BTW: It is an optional Samba extension, so you have to install it.

Mutt errors.
by Brian Durant 01 Jul '02

01 Jul '02

I am getting errors when I execute the following command: mutt -f pop://<my_account><my_mail_server> Here are the errors: Error in /home/brian/.muttrc, line 70: imap_host: unknown variable Error in /home/brian/.muttrc, line 71: imap_delete: unknown variable Error in /home/brian/.muttrc, line 109: too few arguments Error in /home/brian/.muttrc, line 127: web_browser: unknown variable source: errors in /home/brian/.muttrc I assume that the errors are probably independent of the command, as they are related to .muttrc, so here are the lines in my .muttrc file: set imap_host="mail.linuxfreemail.com" set imap_delete="yes" send-hook "~t "mutt-users(a)mutt.org" 'set indent_string="# "' set web_browser="lynx %s Can anyone help me straighten these out <newbie alert>? Cheers, Brian

RICIS - Safe delete / undelete for SuSE Linux
by Gregory D. Rosenberg 01 Jul '02

Are you aware of a safe delete or undelete for SuSE Linux. Project Athena at MIT had one at one point, but I don't beleive it is supported any more.

Annoying problem. KDE File Manager - Super User Mode
by Oyku Gencay 01 Jul '02

01 Jul '02

Hi Folks, I don't know the internals of KDE but I'm having a very very annoying problem. I don't know how it happend but the the "File Manager - Super User Mode" dos not work anymore. Please tell me what should I do to get it working? It dies silently right after entering the root password in the kdesu dialog. If I try to run it from shell (in KDE, logged a as normal user) as root I get te X connection refused error (naturally) and after executing I xhost +locahost I get the following error when I try to run konqueror as root DCOPClient::attachInternal. Attach failed Could not open network socket DCOPServer up and running. mcop warning: user defined signal handler found for SIG_PIPE, overriding /tmp/mcop-oykug is not owned by user **oykug is the user name I'm logged as*** Mutex destroy failure: Device or resouce busy. kdeinit: Fatal IO error: client killed. kdeinit: Sending SIGHUP to children kdeinit: sending SIGTERM to children kdeinit: Exit. sh: dcopserver_shutdown: command not found Please help me to get rid of this annoying problem. all the packages are SuSE rpms. All updates are from SuSE YOU and LinuKS. Regards. Oyku Gencay

Re: [SLE] Sound Blaster AWE64 Gold

Thanks for the reply phil.bridges(a)acm.org wrote: > Anyway, I was able to get an AWE64 standard installed - > it was automagic. It did crackle a bit when when I > would adjust the volume, but it was fine otherwise. > > What kind of other hardware do you have? The board is an Asus P3C-E (from memory) with Pentium III 667 MHz, 128 MB rambus memory. The video card is an ATI expert 98 AGP, SCSI Adaptec AHA-2940UW, 3Com 3C905B and the subject sound card. I see that in Windows XP the sound works fine. In Windows it is using IRQ 5. I see in SuSE the awe module is loaded fine and the sound even works briefly during the KDE startup when it makes the startup sound but usually the sound seems cut short and there is no sound after that. Any suggestions? Damon Register

Hi Keith, > You are right about Blackbox and Icewm not being "environments". > They are window managers with a few extra bells and whistles. > However, depending on what you want, sometimes less is more. For > example, with Icewm, you don't get desktop icons (gmc or nautilus can > create these if you want them). However, have you noticed that the > new Windows XP desktop comes with few if any icons? MS said > they are moving away from desktop icons and in most cases, I prefer > NOT to have desktop icons. Once again, this is a personal choice. > Some people love to have 100 icons scattered across their desktop. I tend to dump things on the desktop then get irritated at them and clear them all up ... it would be better to have few though a huge open space can feel rather daunting (perhaps a new psychiatric condition: deskagrophobia, a fear of open desktops)! However I agree that less can often be better (or more). Despite the fact that it (IceWM) is not an "environment" I presume you can still do more-or-less the same things yu can in anything else in Linux as long as the support libraries are there? In other words could you still run K Office in IceWM much like I can currently run Evolution, Galeon, Abiword etc. even though they need Gnome. > The environment that Icewm gives you is like an enhanced Windows 95. > You have a main program start button, taskbar, quick launch buttons, a few > tray icons, desktop switch buttons, integrated clock, CPU and network > monitors.

Sounds like a good idea since, though I think my Linux config is faster than my Windows one (which I Keep on a removable disk drive) it sometimes doesn't feel it so something that feels fast would be very cool. > I might go back to KDE after another point release or two. Konqueror is > very, very nice. But for now, I am enjoying the raw speed of a lean setup. I will try it tonight (I haven't got my Linux source at work). James James C.

YOU not connecting?!?!
by Curtis Rey 01 Jul '02

Well, the last couple of days my connection to the ftp server and the SuSE website has timed out. With YaST in the YOU module it seems to stall while trying to get/load the list of ftp servers. And with the website, it seems unusually slow and often times out. Anyone else have this problem or a clue as to why and what to do about it? TIA, Curtis
