sendfax as a printer
by denis 03 Dec '03

03 Dec '03

Hi, I installed hylafax that works well. How can I make it appear as a new printer ? in Yast2 I suppose I can use "Other kind of Setup" in the "printer type" screen, but I don't how to tell which queue to use. I suppose "sendfax -n -d <fixed number to dial> % I need to have a printer for each recipient ( 6 in total, always the same !) Ideas ? Denis

Suse 9.0 hangs on boot
by David Moss 03 Dec '03

03 Dec '03

This system had been working fine until today. I was trying to configure jpilot to sych Evolution to a new Palm Tungsten E. At one point I restarted the system and it stopped at "Setting up loopback interface" . After about ten minutes it continued with the error, "_alloc_pages: 0-order allocation failed (gfp=0x1d2/0)" Booting appeared to continue normally until it got to "Starting hotplugging services" at which point it hung and never continued. All I could do was reset the computer with the same result. I tried to unplug all usb devices to no avail. Any ideas?

SUSE 9.0 and autocompletion
by Ivan Sergio Borgonovo 03 Dec '03

03 Dec '03

The behaviour of autocompletion in SUSE 9.0 seems pretty different from SUSE 8.1 eg. ivan@hell:~> cd D[Tab] #works and complete to Documents ivan@hell:~/Documents> ls sylpheed-0.9.6claws-7.src.rpm rpm -vhi ./syl[Tab] #doesn't work...???? hints? annoying.

kernel module support on (now off)
by Jan 03 Dec '03

03 Dec '03

Dear all How do I switch the module support of the kernel (SUSE 9.0 - 2.4.21-99)? I have the the option make config, but it comes with so many questions that i rather prefer an easier solution? Final goal is to make the webcam Quickcam 4000 working. see http://www.smcc.demon.nl/webcam/install.html#path ----Go to drivers/usb/ (drivers/usb/media/ for kernel 2.5/2.6). There you will find the existing PWC driver. Check the version number in pwc.h ---Copy the *.c and *.h files from the pwc-X.Y.tar.gz packaged over the existing ones. ---Go back to the root of the kernel sources, and do a 'make modules', followed by 'make modules_install' as root. regards, Jan

YOU error redux
by VANTASSLE, GEORDON M (SBCSI) 03 Dec '03

03 Dec '03

Ok, the error that I got when running YOU from YAST was that http://www.suse.de/cgi-bin/suseservers.cgi <http://www.suse.de/cgi-bin/suseservers.cgi> has an HTTP return code of 403 I had expected that this was related to the server-move that was mentioned a short while back, and it seems to be so. Suse.COM returns correct, but SUSE.DE doesn't. Who should I tell about that? -- Geordon M. VanTassle

9.0 and Toshiba 720
by Jim Sabatke 03 Dec '03

03 Dec '03

I tried to do a fresh intall of 9.0 on my Toshiba 720 last night. It would hang on the search for components (hard drive config IIRC). I let it run for a couple hours, so I gave it plenty of time. SuSE 7.3 was the only OS installed previously. -- Jim Sabatke Hire Me!! - See my resume at http://my.execpc.com/~jsabatke Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for you are crunchy and good with ketchup.

K3B
by Donald Henson 03 Dec '03

03 Dec '03

I reported earlier that I was unable to use K3B to burn an audio CD using MP3 files as the source. Someone told me that if I upgrade to the latest version, that problem would be solved. I just upgraded K3B to 0.10.2cvs and I still get the same error. When dragging an MP3 file into the project area of a Create Audio CD project, I get "Unable to handle the following files due to an unsupported format:" I'm wondering if I misunderstand how to create audio CDs from MP3 files, if 'someone' misunderstood what I was trying to do, or if I've installed the wrong version of K3B. Any suggestions would be appreciated. (I also have three "problems" reported to me when I first execute K3B but I'll throw those out in separate threads.) Don Henson

moving evolution from one machine to another
by Thinker 03 Dec '03

03 Dec '03

Hello all, Now that I have 9.0 installed and working well, I would like to move everything off my 8.2 machine onto the 9.0 machine. Of course, this includes Evolution. I am looking for a clear set of instructions or to be pointed to a good resource on this issue. What is the best way to move my mail, contacts, rules, dates, appointments, accounts, prefs, etc. Thanks in advance, -=Thinker
