No, I just left out the part where feetchmail hands any mail off to sendmail. That's the way fetchmail works and you don't need to do anything to get it to do that. Then sendmail calls procmail as the 'local delivery agent' to actually decide where to deliver the mail. And it doesn't matter whether you're running postfix or sendmail, sendmail will be called (and postfix includes a 'sendmail' piece for that and other purposes). > > Tim > > __________________________________________________ > Do You Yahoo!? > Everything you'll ever need on one web page > from News and Sport to Email and Music Charts > http://uk.my.yahoo.com > > -- > Check the headers for your unsubscription address > For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com > Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com > Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq(a)suse.com > > > > -- +++ Bruce Marshall bmarsh(a)bmarsh.com Bellaire, MI +++

no screens found
by O�UZ EREN 28 Feb '03

28 Feb '03

Hi, I've bought a new hard disk recently; and tried making a clean install of 8.1. I've had a problem with my screen configuration. Suse installation determined these: Monitor - vesa 1280x1024@60Hz Graphics Chipset - Intel 82810E CGC So the chipset is ok; but my monitor is IBM E74; which doesn't exist in sax2 monitor db. I clicked change and modified the monitor config to replace it with ibm e74; using the manufacturer floppy. Then i clicked test after finalize; but sax2 gave me the following errors : (WW) Open APM failed (/dev/apm_bios) (no such device) (WW) I810(0): Config file hsync range 28-64 kHz not within DDC hsync range 30-69 kHz So i gave up & decided not to change monitor type. I left what suse determined. Installation finished; and x-server didn't start. I logged in & typed startx; which gave me the following errors: (EE)GARTInit : AGPIOC_INFO failed (Invalid argument) (EE)I810(0): AGPGART support is not available. Make sure your kernel has... (EE)Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration Fatal server error: no screens found. Any help? Thanks..

ATA RAID on Proliant DL320 G2
by Magnusson Peter 28 Feb '03

28 Feb '03

Has anyone got SuSE Linux 8.1 Pro working with a RAID1 set using the built in ATA controller in a Compaq DL320 G2. It´s a AMI/LSI based MegaRAID IREal 100. The installation detects the separate disks but not the raidset.

How do I tell OpenOffice I'm not in England?
by Fred Sloniker 28 Feb '03

28 Feb '03

Every time I create a new document, I have to tell OpenOffice, first in the format page dialog, then in the print dialog, that I use US letter paper, not A4. I haven't been able to figure out how to change this default. Can someone help me out? (I'm using SuSE 8.1.)

Automating YOU updates with cron
by Graham Smith 28 Feb '03

28 Feb '03

Hi, Has anyone successfully setup YOU to be run from a cron job successfully? In the SuSE manual it provides an example but I cannot get it to run properly. The commands run OK if done manually. lin-2:~/bin # crontab -l # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - edit the master and reinstall. # (crontab installed on Wed Feb 26 21:08:30 2003) # (Cron version -- $Id: crontab.c,v 2.13 1994/01/17 03:20:37 vixie Exp $) MAILTO=graham 10 21 * * * /sbin/yast2 online_update .auto.get 15 21 * * * /sbin/yast2 online_update .auto.install lin-2:~/bin # I end up with the following error messages being emailed to myself Error opening terminal: unknown. Error opening terminal: unknown. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong with the crontab to get these messages? -- Regards, Graham Smith ---------------------------------------------------------
