The help in many gnome programs do not work. Every time I try, I get a Galeon crash (segmentation fault). Is this known? -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson

KMail (mis?)behaviour in KDE3.1
by Clayton 02 Feb '03

02 Feb '03

Just a question... I've updated my 8.1 install to KDE3.1 and everything is almost working. The new KMail is generally working fine, but I have noticed that with some senders on the SuSE list, I do not get any headers displayed... especially from KMcLauchlan. I see the message, but all header information refuses to display in KMail1.5(?) Anyone else have this oddity? C.

After KDE3.1 upgrade File Manager SU does not run
by Richard 02 Feb '03

02 Feb '03

I tried the suggestion to uncheck 'file' in configuring the Previews. That did not work. If I log in as root and start it, it will come up for a short second or two and shutdown with a signal 11 (SIGSEGV). However, I can click on a user folder and File Mgr will come up as non-SU and stay up. The Backtrace from the Crash Handler gives me: (no debugging symbols found)...(no debugging symbols found)... 0x411d98c9 in wait4 () from /lib/libc.so.6 #0 0x411d98c9 in wait4 () from /lib/libc.so.6 #1 0x41254c90 in __DTOR_END__ () from /lib/libc.so.6 #2 0x41034a93 in waitpid () from /lib/libpthread.so.0 #3 0x40743b0d in KCrash::defaultCrashHandler(int) () from /opt/kde3/lib/libkdecore.so.4 #4 0x4103212b in pthread_sighandler () from /lib/libpthread.so.0 #5 <signal handler called> #6 0x00002522 in ??

kdebase3-extra-3.1-7
by Joe Morris (NTM) 02 Feb '03

02 Feb '03

When I downloaded the kde 3.1 from the kde mirrors for suse 8, this app wasn't there. When I was looking and double checking before installing, I found several on the suse mirror, including the above. The above conflicts with kdebase3 according to rpm, as it has some of the same files. I could install with --force, but was wondering if anyone else has installed this package, and what affect it had. It appears to be related to kappfinder. -- Joe Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris(a)ntm.org Web Address: http://www.mydestiny.net/~joe_morris Registered Linux user 231871 God said, I AM that I AM.

Fwd: (OT) Re: [kde] KDE 3.1 RPM:s for Red Hat?

Let us all work to show ALL the world that the SuSE community values and admires KDE Team as much as they deserve! PeterB ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: Re: [kde] KDE 3.1 RPM:s for Red Hat? Date: Sat, 01 Feb 2003 16:01:33 -0600 From: Andreas Pour <pour(a)mieterra.com> To: kde(a)mail.kde.org Hi, I do not know if you will find RedHat rpms. I considered making them but in light of the changes RH has made to KDE (see e.g. http://www.mosfet.org/noredhat.html and http://www.mosfet.org/rh-rebuttal.html) it is a non-trivial matter. You have to port KDE to RH 8.0, b/c RH does not follow standards and essentially "forks" open source projects by making incompatible modifications in "secret" (i.e., outside the projects' CVS tree and without the projects' knowledge). If you want to support that type of behavior, then support RH. If not, use another distro that works with the Open Source community, rather than against them, or tell RH you would like them to change their practices.

Upgrade Mod_php SuSe 7.3
by Daniel Hollweg 01 Feb '03

01 Feb '03

Hi List, I am running a box with SuSe 7.3. As recomanded in the security announcements I wanted to upgrade mod_php to version "mod_php4-4.0.6-193.i386.rpm". When executing "rpm -Fhv mod_php4-4.0.6-193.i386.rpm" the OS returns "libsnmp-0.4.2.3.so is needed by mod_php4-4.0.6-193". Actually libsnmp-0.4.2.1.so is installed. Where do I get "libsnmp-0.4.2.1.so". Thanks and greets Daniel

Problem with adsl ethernet modem
by FX Fraipont 01 Feb '03

01 Feb '03

I'm trying to configure an adsl ethernet modem with pppoe. Everything is configured correctly (I had a working pppoa connection with a USB modem), I just changed in Yast2>dsl configuration> device=eth1 > pppoe. When I swithch the modem on, the adsl led is on, so is ethernet, but nothing happens, and the kinternet log file says: Reloading configuration. Reloading interfaces and providers. Selection of interface/provider "dsl0"/"DSL provider" succeeded. Starting connection. (2003-02-01 12:32:09 CET) pppd: Plugin pppoe.so loaded. pppd: PPPoE Plugin Initialized pppd: Plugin passwordfd.so loaded. pppd: Sending PADI Waiting for PADO. Please check your setup and try again. Stopping connection. (2003-02-01 12:32:46 CET) Any ideas? Thanks fx -- ______________________ Courtesy of SuSE Linux nibz.org

Have been trying for 5 days now to get PostgreSSQL working with ODBC and OOo. Found some documents on unixodbc.org site and tried several of their configs, had one work one time, then quit. If anyone has SuSE 8.1 connected to PostgreSQL databaase via ODBC, could you please send me you odbc.ini and odbcinst.ini files so I can compare to mine? Thanks Art
