DVD playback...
by Matthew 14 May '04

14 May '04

Good day, Yes there are legal reasons why SuSE cannot have DVD playback of those pesky movies, but what be done? Would it be too expensive for Novell/SuSE to license a codec? Seems like there is a new copyright law in Germany that has made PackMan be more cautious. No one has made a player for Linux that is 100% legal, is it due to expense? Matt

Works smooth as silk if I stop Setiathome, but remains unusuable if seti or anything cpu intensive is running. This in itself isn't so bad, except that I didn't have this problem under 8.1 and 8.0, where I had seti runing with nice=1 all the time and OOo was working smoothly. Just trying to understand this Thanks Hans

Hi Folks, I can't seem to get any of the Screen Savers to start in Gnome, though they are all working in KDE... or are they only for KDE? They are in the Gnome menu:system Screen Savers. Thanks (i know they aren't so important)

KDE-kiosk.
by Prabu Subroto 23 Oct '03

Hi everybody.... I am using KDE 3.0.x not yet 3.1 and SuSE Linux 8.1 . I have written a web enabling database application with PHP4. The users use the application with internet browser mozilla. My boss said that his sellers may only use the internet browser for the database application. So how can I lock everything in KDE 3.0.x ? I want after the user login, the mozilla will be automatically launched. I also want if they close the mozilla than the user will be automatically kicked out (log out). Is it possible with KDE 3.0.x? Do I have to upgrade 3.1 ? Thank you very much in advance. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.

Re: [SLE] Laptop Wireless

I'm reposting this, because I think that it's been pushed down far enough that people aren't seeing it. Basically, I've got my internal wireless card setup as my eth-pcmcia-0 device. Someone said something about how it should be bridged to eth1 and then I can use it. It doesn't seem to be doing that. Can anyone help?

Before I do research on how to do this, it is possible to do this right, on a 2 drive box, with SUSE 8.0 on 1 drive, Debian and 98se splitting the other? I'm already dual booting fwiw.. Thank you for your time.

Abit ic7-g and suse 8.2 support
by Josef332 12 Aug '03

12 Aug '03

Hello fellow Susers. I want to install Suse 8.2 on an Abit IC7-G with an intel 875 chipset.Is the hardware supported by this version of the Suse distro? All the HDD's to be installed along with it are SATA so I presume tehre may be a problem installing them? Previous experience with sata disks in linux had them working very slowly and I could no possibly install the OS on them. Any experiences that a fellow user may have had with this kind of motherboard/chipset would be welcome. Thanks

Is there a open source search engine?
by Greg Freemyer 23 Jul '03

23 Jul '03

All, I've got a Samba fileserver working pretty well, but it would be nice if I could have a web interface that allowed end-users to search for documents on the fileserver. Sort of like a google interface to the fileserver. The trouble is that a lot of the docs are in word, acrobat, etc. Does anyone know an open source search engine that has converters? I've looked at a couple of commercial search engines that would do the job, but I found the prices shockingly high.
