Linux on the desktop - measure of success
by KMcLauchlan＠chrysalis-its.com 12 Feb '03

12 Feb '03

I haven't caused enough trouble, today, so: Has anybody noticed how rare WOMEN are on this list? When the percentage gets up around 30, we'll know that SuSE is succeeding at "Linux on the desktop". Since we're currently at about 0.2 percent, there's a little way to go yet. Do you suppose SuSE has any schemes to make Linux attractive to non-male, non-geek users? G'night all. Time to go get beat up by my physio-therapist. /k

ppp0 dialling out
by Oliver Ob 10 Feb '03

10 Feb '03

I have a working 7.0 pro installed here, and the router works fine for me. Only one thing: As soon as I reboot and it reaches its runlevel, it immediately starts dialling out - even though NO request to internet was made from my LAN. What setting could be wrong? Where shall I start my search? What logs would you need to estimate? The router does this only at first boot, when I once connect the internet and then hangup, it does only dial in again when I want to (on demand) So where to go?

Changing Video card
by Peter B Van Campen 09 Feb '03

09 Feb '03

Hi everyone, The time has come to swap out my old PCI ELSA Winner video card for an AGP nVidia Quadro I got on EBAY. I'm trying to come up with the best way to get SuSE 8.1 to handle the change with the least disruption. Here is what seems to be the best way: 1 shutdown, power off, remove PCI card, put AGP card in 2 start PC and make any required changes to the BIOS settings 3 re-boot SuSE into a text screen 4 run SAX2 and re-configure X to the new Video card 5 re-boot But I haven't figured out how to tell LILO to boot onlt a text console and I don't know how to setup the system for the nVidia code to use 3D Does anyone have any hints, tips or critques?

NTFS Mounting woes
by William Westfall 06 Feb '03

06 Feb '03

Why doesn't suse 8.0 read my NTFS windows partitions and drives. I looked at the kernel and the required modules are loaded. When I try to mount it says that the windows/c mount point doesn't exist. Any suggestions?

a2ps landscape printing
by zentara 05 Feb '03

05 Feb '03

Hi, I'm trying to work out how to print out ascii text files, in 2 side-by-side pages on a sigle letter sheet in landscape mode. Things seem to work, except that the landscape printout, is coming out in portrait on the printer, and the rightpage is just "squeezed off" to the right side. So it looks OK, except the printer isn't switching the paper to landscape. I have a HP Deskjet 930C The commands I'm using are these: a2ps --landscape -P lp myfile.txt How do I tell a2ps to use landscape? If I print from OpenOffice the printer does it right, so I know that it's not the printer. a2ps has a nicer looking printout though. :-) -- use Perl; #powerful programmable prestidigitation

broken balsa
by Carlos E. R. 05 Feb '03

05 Feb '03

The mail client balsa, which is the default in gnome, can not send any mail using Suse 8.1 - or at least, not with postfix. Can this be solved somehow? I haven's seen a patch for it so far. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
