Kpilot only partial sync
by M. Halegua 02 Nov '03

02 Nov '03

I've finally gotten my Handspring Prism to sync with my SUSE 8.2 Pro system. I can sync with ColdSync, pilot-link, Jpilot completely. Kpilot, which would be my preferred sync method, only partially syncs. It won't sync the datebook, the memos, or the todo list. I;ve checked the settings, and all the desired conduits are selected for syncing up. I know the datebook data is supposed to go into the KOrganizer, and the address info is also supposed to go into the KAddressbook app. My version of all the Kpilot apps is 3.1.1 (KPilot itself is 4.3.9), with KDE 3.1.1. I've seen versions 3.1.4 on the SUSE site (YOU sees only 3.1.1 RPM files). Will they solve this problem? Is there another solution I'm not seeing to get the proper sync with the KDE apps? I can use Jpilot, but would prefer to use KPilot because of it's integration with KDE apps and KMail via the KAddressbook. Also, is there a KDE/KPilot mail list where I can post this also? Thanks, Mark

DSL connect on startup
by Mark Pelillo 02 Nov '03

02 Nov '03

I am using Suse 8.2 with an external USB network device. Suse was able to recognize the device without problem and the dsl setup works. But I don't seem to be able to get the dsl to startup automatically without me having to login and run Kinternet. What am I missing? Thanks Mark

Well, one must wonder if MickySoft has a hand in it as well. I guess we'll have to wait a tad longer till Linux has a larger presence on the desktop and it can't be ignored by these meatheads any longer.

In dmesg I see : Dell Inspiron 2500 machine detected. Disabling APM. Dell Inspiron with broken BIOS detected. Refusing to enable the local APIC. This is with 8.2 kernel 2.4.20. Does anyone know if this improved in 9.0, or if there are any fixes for 8.2. As at the moment the machine is running continuosly and I would like it to power the screen and drive down when not needed. Thanks David

OpenOffice.org file associations in 9.0
by chris 02 Nov '03

02 Nov '03

Did anyone have file associations setup automatically when doing a clean install of suse 9? I've installed this on 4 computers and have yet to have this setup for me. Is there a reason or fix for this? It's a bit of a pain to have to set this up for each new install and for each new user(Maybe a global file would do this?). Thanks Chris

3ware question
by H du Plooy 01 Nov '03

01 Nov '03

It's been mentioned several times on this list that 3ware makes the only linux supported *hardware* IDE raid cards. So if a card is not a hardware card, as I understand it, you need the driver to do the actual work. If you need the driver for that, how do you boot off it (i.e. access the raid volume before the kernel with neccessary drivers are loaded)? Or aren't the software based ones bootable? Thanks Hans
