However, in your post you suggested he: > search for "print.printer_list" and make it like: > pref("print.printer_list", "epson925 sp925 kprinter xpp"); // list of > printers, separated by spaces Where did the reference to "epson925" come from ??? Reason I am asking is I have a H-P Deskjet 660 C, which the KDE control center shows under YaST2 modules --> Hardware ---> Printer: "Hewlet_packard:Deskjet 660C:Parallell printer on /dev/lp0" should I use that??? or follow your suggestion of: "epson925 sp925 kprinter xpp" ??? I also don't understand "sp925 kprinter xpp" is that something you just know ??? (I looked at kprinter and didn't get any more clues, hence the questions.) tia, Gar -- PS.

RE: [SLE] Remote X login in SUSE9.0?
by Sid Boyce 30 Nov '03

X :2 -query <IP_Address> unlike under 8.2 does not work with 9.0 as shipped. The thread just got me to looking again at why. I had tried it some weeks ago and failed. I was able to do this from a laptop (8.2 to 9.0 upgrade) to this machine (new 9.0 install), but not the other way round. :0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X vt7 :1 local reserve /usr/X11R6/bin/X :1 vt8 :2 local reserve /usr/X11R6/bin/X :2 vt9 :3 local reserve /usr/X11R6/bin/X :3 vt10 :4 local reserve /usr/X11R6/bin/X :4 vt11 :5 local reserve /usr/X11R6/bin/X :5 vt12 From /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/Xservers You would need to comment out :2 onwards and restart X as VT's 1-12 are all currently engaged.

by Jason Tesser 30 Nov '03

30 Nov '03

What is the comand in to type in the terminal window to start/stop/status for services. I know in redhat I could type service nfs start How do I do that is Suse? I do know how to do it in Yast. Quest 2 is about getting a remote X query session from another box. Can this be configured completely in Yast?

Yast should be able to do this, but if it fails then the SUSE Administration Guide gives full details of how to set this and all network settings manually. I put the ip number of my modem/router in /etc/resolv.conf, but this is dependant on how you connect. David

Video capture and editing on SuSE?
by dreadnought 29 Nov '03

29 Nov '03

My brother is into level design for a bunch of games (Doom, Quake III, etc.) and recently started making videos of action inside these games. He's been using video capture and editing tools on his Windows machine, but isn't really happy with the shareware applications he's found. I'm curious, are there video capture and editing tools that work with SuSE that a Windows user could migrate to easily? He's got an ATI Radeon 9600 if that makes any difference. I don't know anything about video editing, so my Google browsing wasn't very fruitful. ;) Thanks for the advice! Mark

How do I setup Evolution to receive system mail???
by Tom Nielsen 29 Nov '03

29 Nov '03

I had this setup before my upgrade, but no I've forgot how to do it. I have myself as an alias to root in /etc/aliases, but now I want to setup Evolution to receive system mail that is supposed to go to root. I can't remember how to do it. Any thoughts?
