Re: [SLE] Kpilot only partial sync
by M. Halegua 02 Nov '03

02 Nov '03

Ok, I've done all that follows and it works great for KOrganizer and my to do list (although the to do list shows all my completed items even though I tell it not to). However, I still have one issue: the memos aren't syncing into KPilot. looking through the KPilot manual, which is for version 4.3.0, it states there's a menu item called View. This menu item doesn't appear on my version. I have configured KPilot to use the Knotes conduit, but the memos don't come up in the Knotes app. Further, there is a separate knotes app under KDE which looks like post-it notes. Did version 4.3.9 discontinue support for the memos? Is there another app which takes care of the memos in my Visor? Does Knotes require some kind of configuration which will use the memos from the visor? One more item. Is there a way to get the KDE addressbook to use sync instead of the KPilot addressbook?

KDE View Index.html hell
by Kenneth Payne 02 Nov '03

02 Nov '03

Hi - I've recently installed SUSE 9.0 and now I find that I can't save a "filemanagement" view profile that switches off the "View index.html" feature in Konqueror. I mean I can switch it off by clicking on the menu choice but I can't disable "view index.html" by default. This is a tiny problem but it's really really annoying. Any ideas? Best wishes - Ken

Help with backup
by LinuxWorld999 02 Nov '03

02 Nov '03

Using the "System Backup" option under YaST2, several problems became apparent. The archive created was 7 GB in size. It could not be viewed as Konqueror complained that the archive could not be found. Running system restore under YaST2 was also a slow and painful process. For the moment, and this could be down to inexperience, this does not seem to be a useful strategy. As an alternative, "rsync" is being tested as a number of users on this list have mentioned and recommended it. A Iomega firewire drive with a capacity of 20GB will be used as the backup device. The format of the command used to backup the home directory is "rsync -av / home /media/firewire_ext2/home". Similar commands are used to backup data stored on an external usb2 drive, /etc directory, /boot directory, /opt directory. The compression option is not being used as the experience so far has not been good. The PC specification and use is: - AMD 2.6GZ Athlon XP with 512 MB ram and 60 GB drive - Dual boot SuSE 9 and Dark Side XP (which is very rarely used) - Two external hard drivers, a 60GB usb2 and 20GB firewire - The PC is used as a small server connected with three other computers, with Apache used as a proxy server to share a broadband connection - Two network adapters are used, one is a 10/100 Realtek Card connected to a wired lan while the other is a Netgear MA101 usb wireless adapter connected to a wireless ADSL modem Any advice in this respect will be appreciated. The particular areas comments would be welcome on are : - Is this a good strategy? - What directories should be backed up? - Is there any way to replicate what YaST2 system restore does to backup installed packages and other data? - A better alternative? If there are others, please feel free to comment. TIA. LW999

Linux support in the wild.
by Clayton 02 Nov '03

02 Nov '03

Just thought I'd share this with the everyone. Linux support is growing cropping up here and there. Take a look at this page: http://www.virginradio.co.uk/thestation/listen/index.html They actively support Linux users for their streaming audio feed. Kind of nice to see that there is some commercial support out there in the wilds of the internet. ;-) C.

compiling with g++
by Donn aka n5xwb Washburn 02 Nov '03

02 Nov '03

Hey Group; For years I have used htdig as a google like local search engine of all the local docs. Very neat tool. However, SuSE 8.2 and 9.0 refuse to compile either the stable or unstable versions of htdig. I did a search for the complete binary package of htdig and note that SuSE seems to not supply all of the files ( five or six). I guess the reason is that htdig will not complete is because htdig will not compile under gcc 3.# and g++. I have even tried the backward files with no luck under 8.2 and 9.0. The errors seem to be coming from the compiler and not htdig. Has anyone gotten it to fully work? I know of a "Test Bed" server that wishes to upgrade from 8.0 (htdig does work). It requires the search engine function of htdig So, the owner decided to not upgrade based on this problem. -- 73 de Donn Washburn __ " http://www.hal-pc.org/~n5xwb " Ham Callsign N5XWB / / __ __ __ __ __ __ __ 307 Savoy St. / /__ / / / \/ / / /_/ / \ \/ / Sugar Land, TX 77478 /_____/ /_/ /_/\__/ /_____/ /_/\_\ LL# 1.281.242.3256 a MSDOS Virus "Free Zone" OS Email: n5xwb(a)hal-pc.org " http://counter.li.org " #279316

Pysol
by Fred Miller 02 Nov '03

02 Nov '03

Since SUSE didn't ship Pysol with 9.0, does it run fine with it, did SUSE just not include it, or has anyone here installed it from the Net. and gotten it to run? Thanks, Fred -- "...Linux, MS-DOS, and Windows XP (also known as the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly)."
