Hi, I'm searching for info how to set up dynamic DNS. I would like my DHCP-server to update my DNS information. I have seen this somewhere, but I can't find it back. TIA -- Met vriendelijke groeten, Koenraad Lelong R&D Manager ACE electronics n.v.

Info on VIA computing
by Thomas E. Beasley, Jr. 06 May '03

06 May '03

Hi all, I'm planning to purchase a Hush mini-ITX computer with the VIA EPIA M10000-Nehemia core. Because the VIA doesn't have an AGP slot, I plan to install a Gainward GeForce4 PowerPack! Pro 450 TV (PCI) GeForce4 MX 44-SE PCI 64MB DDR Video Card. Are there any problems I need to be prepared for with this setup? I'll be upgrading to SuSE 8.2 from the 7.2 I have had for past two years. Thanks in advance.

Archiving attached mail files
by Carlos E. R. 06 May '03

06 May '03

I want to archive files that came attached to emails, separate from the email itself: it can save a fair amount of space, and at least, reduce the size of the mbox files, speeding mail browsing. This can be done with Pine: the attachments can be marked for deletion, and when the email is moved from one folder to another, the attachment is deleted and replaced with a text like: |> [ Part 2: "Attached Text" ] |> |> [ The following attachments were DELETED when this message was saved: ] |> [ A Application/MSWORD segment of about 238,567 bytes. ] But, you see, the file name is not saved, so the original file, which I keep separate, is very difficult to locate. Do you know of some application that does this? -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson

balsa refuses to launch acrobat or any other program
by Carlos E. R. 06 May '03

06 May '03

I use Suse 8.1. I had to recompile the packaged balsa, because it is unable to send email. But my compiled version is unable to launch any application, like acrobat or xpdf to see an attached file.pdf on an email, it freezes. This behavior happens in both balsa-1.4.2 and 2.0.6 (the later is for gtk2). I don't remember if it happened with the suse packaged version, 1.2.4. Any idea why this could be? -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson

Windows blank when they lose focus
by danstrom＠attbi.com 06 May '03

06 May '03

I've done a new install of 8.2 and am having problems with windows in some applications -- particularly konqueror (also affects kmail). With every page I view, whenever the mouse leaves a window or I click on the desktop, the window goes blank. Moving the mouse back into the window sometimes brings the contents back. Sometimes I have to click in the window or move the scrollbar around to get the contents back. With some pages with a lot of buttons/images, moving the mouse around will restore whatever image is below the mouse without bringing back everything. I have an NVidia GeForce2 MX card with the latest NVidia drivers (4349). I've tried changing various settings that look like they may be relevant but nothing changes the behavior. I'm not sure what other information to provide because I can't figure out what might be causing the problem. I haven't installed anything other than what's on the 8.2 DVD or from online update. Does anyone have any idea what is going on here? And what's more important, how to fix it? Thanks, Dan

Video Chat server
by Ronald Wiplinger 06 May '03

06 May '03

I am looking for a server for chatting and video conferencing. Something like CuSeeMe was/is. CuSeeMe is too expensive to use. I tried to use im4cam, but I am working for a Christian organization, it is impossible to suggest such a program, where extremly Non-Christian channels are available. Actually it is better, when we run the server by ourselves and can choose the channels we are going to open. Is there any solution available? 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!
