Problem with Jumbo-sized text in KDE
by Andrei Verovski 30 Apr '03

30 Apr '03

Hi, I have quite strange problem with text display in KDE and Konqueror (in fresh install of 8.2). I set resolution 1280x1024 and text size 9 - 10 pt (Times) for Konqueror, KDE applications and Mozilla. However, I can swear that text displayed is at least as the same as 14 pt or so (I use the same resolution at work). In Konqueror web browser text it simply jumbo-sized, even if web page(s) setting(s) are 9 - 10 pt. I suspect that somewhere X configured to work at Mac 72 dpi resolution, not 96 dpi, but I am not sure. Anyone have a clue how to solve this problem? Thanks in advance for any suggestion. ********************************************* * Best Regards --- Andrei Verovski * * Personal Home Page * http://snow.prohosting.com/guru4mac * Mac, Linux, DTP, Development, IT WEB Site *********************************************

After installing 8.2 on a new server, swat is not accessable from a client browser with the url http://192.168.0.12:901. An error occured while loading http://192.168.0.12:901: Connection to host 192.168.0.12 is broken Access is fine from localhost:901 on the server lsof -i returns: xinetd 2058 root 5u IPv4 4803 TCP *:swat (LISTEN) netstat -tupan returns: tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:901 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 2058/xinetd Firewall is not installed.

leaving mail on the isp
by Constant Brouerius van Nidek 30 Apr '03

30 Apr '03

I am running since short postfix on my 8.1 in order to get my email from my ISP via a dial-up. Before that I got my mail via Kmail and in most cases left my mail on the isp in order to retrieve it also from another place. Since running postfix email is downloaded on my computer but is also removed from my isp account. I have looked into the available info to see if I could leave email on the isp but did not find anything. Could somebody help me? -- NTReader v0.36w(P)/Beta (Registered) in conjunction with Net-Tamer.

grub stage kernel panic
by Richard Bos 30 Apr '03

30 Apr '03

I installed a 2nd version of suse8.1 on the same system/harddisk. version 1, called linux ;) boots fine version 2, called suse panics during grub stage 2 with the following error msg: kernel panic: no init found, try passing init= option to kernel What does the kernel proposal involve? The version called "suse" boots fine if invoked from suse's rescue disk (boot installed system. And it boots fine if grub is configured from within the version called "suse". However, in this configuration the other suse version called "linux" does panic with the same error. What may be the cause of this trouble? I searched the internet, sdb, experimented with grub's shell. The latter told that /vmlinuz is located at: (hd1,4) and (hd1,7). Below the current configuration of grub. I must say that the entry for suse has been altered by me. The original yast version is: title suse kernel (hd1,4)/vmlinuz root=/dev/hdb8 the init_rd modules have been set to INITRD_MODULES="reiserfs ide-scsi" 1 thing I did not do is to perform an mk_initd. I assume however that yast will take for that if that is required. yast2-bootloader version: :/etc/sysconfig> rpm -q yast2-bootloader yast2-bootloader-2.6.68-1 I hope someone has the golden hint! -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless # Modified by YaST2.

suse-linux-8.2?
by David Krider 30 Apr '03

30 Apr '03

Has there ever been any discussion about breaking the list into release-specific lists? I'm new here. Forgive me if this is a flame-inducing subject. I'm just thinking it would help lower the number of messages per day that one needs to read in order to keep up with the list in general. I tend to keep all my machines at the same OS level, but I could see how some people would keep a rolling list, and may not want to subscribe to multiple lists.
