The ~/.mozilla directory had 2 setups for the same pop3 server, one appended with "-1". I moved Inbox to Inbox2, deleted the index files and copied the /var/spool/mail/user file as ../../Inbox. 128 new messages were there on startup. I renamed /var/spool/mail/user, then created a new one with zero length with "touch user". Now, after retrieving mail, all go to Mozilla Mail, and the spooler file remains at zero length. Thank you for the help. Ed Harrison ed.tman(a)verizon.net

OPERA fails -- then works??
by Peter B Van Campen 01 Mar '03

01 Mar '03

Hi Guys, Last night my suse8.1came to a halt due to a mysterious 'HD full' condition. Upon reboot things seemed OK but there were a few problems. This one regards OPERA on KDE 3.0.5. After the reboot clicking the OPERA icon yeilded the 'in-process' cursor with the little OPERA flickering icon, but after 30 or so seconds nothing happens; everything is like before clicking the icon. This OPERA is the one shipped with suse8.1. I used YAST2 to un-install, then re-install OPERA from the suse CDs. Same prob = The 'in-process' cursor runs for a while then nothing. Next I used YAST2 to un-install OPERA, then d/l'ed the 6.11 vers of OPERA from the OPERA site, used Konqi to start the YAST2 RPM installer which ran OK. Now here is where it gets strange == When I started the new OPERA it worked fine, but it opened TWO instances, one looking the first start of a newly installed OPERA, the other one opened to the web page I was browsing last night! During my use of SuSE 8.1 since I installed it I have seen a dozen or so instances of an installed app NOT starting as described above; the wait cursor 'spins' the mini icon for the app for 20-30 secs then nothing. I have only remedied this by reinstalling the app. But todays OPERA prob is the first one to not respond to a simple reinstall; it needed installing the newer vers from OPERA home page. Is this problem happening on your systems? Is there a KDE bug reported on this prob? Feeling a bit freaked out .............. PeterB -- -- Proud to be a SuSE Linux User since 5.2 --

Networking on new install

O.K., I know it is late but I just installed SuSE 8.0 on one system and 8.0 on another to evaluate and I can't get either box to talk on the network. The interfaces are configured but I can ping, ssh, or browse the web. What have I missed? Thanks, Robert

[SLE] Error configuring monitor/graphics
by I am Tiger Woods 01 Mar '03

01 Mar '03

After I try to configure my monitor in Yast, I get the message: "XServerTest Failed: (EE) Problem parsing the config file (EE) Error from xf86HandleConfigFile" My monitor and card worked fine when I first set it up, but now I tried to go back and add a second display (monitor and PCI card). Why am I getting this error? ===== This has been a test of the emergency broadcasting channel, if this was an actual emergency, you would be dead. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Menu
by Michael Satterwhite 01 Mar '03

01 Mar '03

I've just downloaded and built kcdlabel. It works fine if I click on it. I'd like to add it to my menu, but I have two (minor, I'm sure) problems: (1) I can't find anything on adding a reference to it to the menus in the documentation. I'm sure I'm looking in the wrong places, but I really can't find out how to do this. (2) I *THOUGHT* maybe if I pulled up "Preferences>Look and Feel>Menu settings" that I could find out how to do this. When I went through these menu options, KDE showed me a mouse cursor that looked like it was trying to do something, then quit without ever bringing up an menu. I can't get it to start that option at all, and I'm sure this is a problem. All help appreciated as usual. ---Michael -- Satterwhite's Observation #2: In any situation in which theory conflicts with reality, reality wins every time.
