Teleconferencing options in Linux?
by Alex Daniloff 02 Feb '03

02 Feb '03

Hello SuSE folkz, Could somebody point me in the right direction please. I'm looking for a possibility to simultaneously communicate over Internet with my business partners using microphgones, speakers and optionally web cams. Part of our partners are still running Winblows, the other part runs Linux. What is the best method, software to communicate seamlessly between us? Thank you very much in advance for any sources of information or hints. Alex

problem replying to some HTML emails with KMail
by maillist 02 Feb '03

02 Feb '03

I would like to know if others have run into this situation: Certain e-mails I receive come in as HTML mail and they are not broken up by mime type (where I can see body part plain text, body part html in the seraprate window pane). I can deal with being forced to view this as HTML, but when I reply to these types of messages I would like to be able to reply as plain text without all of the HTML tags appearing in the reply message. This only happens on certain types of messages I receive that I try to reply to. Sylpheed and Evolution manage to handle these HTML mails such that it will always break it out into an html type and a plain text type and replying as plain text works fine. I'm not sure why KMail is not able to handle these types of messages in the same way. KMail does handle this fine on most of the HTML I receive and try to reply to, but not on certain ones. Falling short of bitching to the the senders of this kind of mail, is there any way that KMail can deal with these messages better that I'm not aware of? Thanks, -- Rick

Kernel Panic: new kernel can't mount root FS (huh?)
by JW 02 Feb '03

02 Feb '03

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Ok, I've installed dozens of kernels in the past, but today I'm totally defeated. Notable differances are: 1. I've always used lilo in the past now I"m using GRUB (hey, I thought GRUB was supposed to be easier ;-) 2. I've never used make rpm before, but I doubt that's the problem. I have tried adding the new kernel to grub both manually and with YaST2. initrd created with the following command: mk_initrd -k "vmlinuz-2.4.20.4suse.ll.1" -i "initrd-2.4.20.4suse.ll.1" -m "aic7xxx reiserfs" -d /dev/hda6 Please note that my fs is on an ATA drives, not a SCSI drive, so the aic7xxx is completely irrelivent. FYI this is on a uniprocessor Athlon XP 1500+, FIC mainboard, one stick of 256 DDR RAM. What happens is when I boot up the new kernel (I have the 2 default SuSE kernels and a Win2k install and a backup kernel I made from the SuSE one, all of those work fine) I get the following mesages: <a bunch of stuff about USB> <something about telephony> TCP: Hash tables configured <lalala> NET4: Unix domain sockets 1.0/SMP for Linux NET$.0 ds: no socket drviers loaded! Kernel Panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 16:06 / is /dev/hdc6, this works fine for the other 3 kernels /boot is /dev/hdc2 Both ar reiserfs. I have _never_ had problems with /boot being ReiserFS in the past, so I"m not inclined to blame it this time. Here's my grub menu.list: cadmium:~ # cat /boot/grub/menu.lst # Modified by YaST2.

MS mailexchange replacement

I am fighting to replace in one company I am working for the M$ mail server to a Linux box, but so far I could not find anything that really can do all these things that the Exchange server can do (mail, calendar, .....) Does anybody know of a product (Linux) that could replace it needless? bye Ronald -- Ronald Wiplinger (CEO of ELMIT) http://www.elmit.com +886 (0) 915 653-452 - I'm a SpamCon Foundation Member, #694, Verify it at http://www.spamcon.org PS: Spam prevention!

re[2]: [SLE] g++ ??
by Greg Freemyer 02 Feb '03

Matt, I have the gcc rpm installed: # rpm -qa | grep gcc gcc-2.95.3-216 but I still don't have g++. Is something wrong with my setup? I just tried to link gcc to g++ in hopes that would do the trick, but (not surprisingly) now I get tons of error messages.

No CD music
by Robert Pollard 02 Feb '03

02 Feb '03

Hello all, I cannot hear the CDs playing music. This is my detected sound card using YaST2: CMI8738/C3DX PCI Audio Device. The on board sound card doesn't work either. I can hear the system beep through the on board sound. Is there any other setup that needs to be done other than what it has done? TIA, Robert Pollard

Problem starting Quanta after updating to KDE 3.1 using [F2]
by Jyry Kuukkanen 02 Feb '03

02 Feb '03

Hello A strange thing happened. I use two boxes dayly and both are running fine. So I updated both of them to to run KDE 3.1 (Suse packages from ftp.kde.org). Now, both works fine, but the other of them, for some strage reason, won't let start Quanta using [Alt-F2] and typing "quanta". Instead, I was prompted to type root password in a dialog to install it "yast2 -i quanta". Well, I have Quanta installed in both boxes. The Quanta starts fine in the troublening box, when I start it from Konsole or from an icon on desktop I created. But I really want to start Quanta (and most of apps) using [Alt-F2] and typing two or three letters. Starting any (mayby) other app (KDE app or not) using [Alt-F2] seems to wotk fine. How to get rid of this annoyance? -- --Jyry :-( C:-/ C========8-O C8-/ C:-(
