CUPS webtool can't auth.
by Ben Rosenberg 04 Dec '03

04 Dec '03

Ok. This may have been discussed here but I may have not paid enough attention to the threads to see it... Have any of you had issued with Konq/Mozilla when using the web configure tool for CUPS (ie. http://localhost:631) and it not being able to auth even root. I ran into this on a fresh install of 9.0 on my parents computer. It just absolutely refuse to auth root when I was logged in as root. I've never seen this but then again I'm not a big printer guy ..I've got my little Epson 880 at home and the two HP's at work that haven't changed in the last 3 years. So I could be missing something. Thanks for any help that's offered. -- Ben Rosenberg ---===--- #147972 ---===--- mailto:ben@whack.org -- Why do we bother with a suicide watch when someone is on deathrow? " Keep an eye on this guy.

CPU busy (again)
by Bill Wisse 04 Dec '03

04 Dec '03

Haia I noticed this morning on my SUSE 9.0 box that the CPU was busy ( around 40 to 50%) even when no program was running. I used >>TOP>> to check and System Monitor but there was no indication that a program was occupying the CPU. Is there another way to find out what is using the CPU? Two things I have done in the last days: I upgraded the kernel with the patch on "YOU". I printed some photo's on my HP2110 printer. Not sure if this is of any help but I put it here anyway. Can anybody suggest what to do? TIA. -- Greetings from /bill at 169 west , 19 south. Disclaimer: Any errors in spelling, tact, or fact are transmission errors."

Re: [SLE] Mozilla Icon

First, why limit yourself? Here's a place with many icons and I believe the author allows free use of the ones posted on his site. I believe he's the artist that designed all (most?) of the Ximian icons and themes. http://jimmac.musichall.cz/ He has some Mozilla icons (e.g., a lavender "m") too. As a more direct response to your question, try this at the command line: > locate mozicon* Satisfaction guaranteed. Regards.

9.0 - How do I set the hostname and domain names
by Jim Sabatke 04 Dec '03

04 Dec '03

I knew how to do it in earlier versions, and I've looked all over Yast. I'm probably just missing the obvious, but I can't find it. Do I have to do it manually? -- 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.

SuSE manuals in electronic format
by Henry Harpending 04 Dec '03

04 Dec '03

My SuSE 9.0 pro update came with just one of the two manuals. But both manuals are supposed to be installed in electronic form. Where are they? I invoke susehelp from an xterm and see lots of KDE stuff, access to man and info pages, but not entries about the manuals. I couldn't find any rpm's on my dvd that had them either. Thanks, Henry Harpending

OT informal poll: Printers?

Folks, I'm about to replace my HP970CXi printer that gave up the ghost on me. Before I shell out $$ on another one only to run into problems with it, I was wondering what printers folks are using that they are HAPPY with. -- :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Peter L.

dedicated server?
by Jason Tesser 04 Dec '03

04 Dec '03

I am looking for a dedicated server that I can rent with root access. In the past I would have looked at RH for this but with the whole Fedora thing and RH9 no longer being supported as of March I am looking for other options. Does anyone know of a good hosting place I can get a dedicated server from that runs Suse? I would perfer Suse 9 I think.

8.2 and 9.0 on same lan
by steve-ss 04 Dec '03

04 Dec '03

We have an all 8.2 lan (NIS via NFS) with one 9.0 client. Under kde the 9.0 box gives errors 'xxx cannot be reached by dcop' or 'Klauncher cannot launch xxx' OWTTE after anyone on a 8.2 client has looged out whilst using the same account. (they are students in the same class using the same login). Can anyone help me here? Thanks, Steve.
