SuSE 8.2 RPM based cyrus, postfix, and fetchmail (surely someone has this working)
by Tim Penhey 06 Jul '03

06 Jul '03

Most of the HOWTOs that I have found do all of this from source. I have an ISP that collects mail for me for a couple of domains and dumps it all into one pop email address. I want to be able to collect those emails and sort them into mailboxes based on the name before the @. Does someone have this type of configuration working? And if so, are they able to help by listing their config files? Thanks, Tim

gftp broken in 8.2
by fsanta 05 Jul '03

05 Jul '03

Here is the command line message. I've uninstalled and reinstalled gftp from the 8.2 cd's but no luck. Can anyone help me? Thanks, Steve. gftp gFTP Warning: Skipping line 130 in config file: use_default_dl_types No fonts found; this probably means that the fontconfig library is not correctly configured. You may need to edit the fonts.conf configuration file. More information about fontconfig can be found in the fontconfig(3) manual page and on http://fontconfig.org

Does anyone experience this problem for root account?
by NOUTH, LENA R (CONTRACTOR) 03 Jul '03

Hello all, I have installed Suse 8.2 pro. All is working just fine. Last night, I decide to do a software update...this morning, I turn on my computer, suddenly, it no longer recognizes password for root account. Apparently, password for root account get changed somehow. What's the heck happen? At this point, it look like the only way to fix this problem is for me to re-install...unless anyone know of better solution. Thanks, LN.

Cardreader
by Bill Wisse 02 Jul '03

02 Jul '03

Haia List After I couldn't get my Dig Camera to work with SuSE I decided to buy a cardreader. It is a Belkin USB media reader with slots for 8 different cards. So far so good. I connected it and it came up somewhere ( cannot remember where) as a compact flash reader. However for some reason I had to restart my computer and now it ( the computer) doesn't start anymore. It goes to the screen where it says ""press F2 for bios"' and hangs there. Also when I press F2, there is no reaction. Unplugging the reader, and everything is honky dory. I don't know if it is important but I also connected an USB printer/scanner/copier at the same time . This one is working except for the scanner but I will send a different email for that. Any idea how I can get the reader to work? Thanks for your help. -- Greetings from /bill at 169 west , 19 south. My holy cow is a penguin.

line noise or ISP trouble
by Constant Brouerius van Nidek 02 Jul '03

02 Jul '03

I am running SuSE 8.1 on my PII with an external 56K US Robotics modem. I am aware of the low quality of my telephone connection. It is noisy and I blame it for a lot of slow downloads. But I also know that sometimes my ISP is very busy and that it is using one of the three telephone numbers for gaming. What I want to know if SuSe has a possibility to let me find out what is causing the slowness of my email and other downloads. It would be nice to know in advance if my telephone is noisier as usual and which of the dial up numbers gives the better chance of a unproblematic connection. I can of course wait until one or two o'clock every night to use my modem but I really need some sleep some nights ;-). I am using Gkrellm in order to see if any activity is going on on my modem during the connection. Kinternet is for me also an indication that the connection is working. Are there other possibilities to keep an eye on what is going on during a session with my isp? >From some Dos email programs I am still using I see all email passing by on the screen and see when the download is stuttering. I would like to have something analogue on SuSE. Just seeing my email moving in or out. I am now using postfix and fetchmail but they work somewhere in the background and I have no chance of seeing what is happening. -- NTReader v0.36w(P)/Beta (Registered) in conjunction with Net-Tamer.

Name service problems.
by Clifford 01 Jul '03

01 Jul '03

I have a tiny network (3 machines) and therefore have chosen not to use a DNS as i really don't need it. I thought everything was going well as i had defined all machines in /etc/hosts and i could ping them using hostname.mydomain . I started fiddling around with my postfix config and found a problem delivering local mail. I soon found out that "hosts kananga.mydomain" fails. This explains why postfix can't deliver any local mail and keeps on sending them to the ISP mail server instead of handling it itself. I have the relevant entries in /etc/hosts and /etc/network. I have also "order hosts bind" in the /etc/host.conf file. /etc/nsswitch has the entry : hosts :file dns I am *still* able to ping kananga.mydomain successfully. When i try "host -a kananga.mydomain", I get : Host kananga not found: 3(NXDOMAIN) What am i missing here? Thanks. Clifford -- [Insert witty observation here]

Suse 8.2 wireless problems
by Marcia 01 Jul '03

01 Jul '03

Dear All, I have an EnGenius ultra Long Range Wireless Lan Pc Card EL-2511CD Plus that was working great on my Suse8 on my Compaq laptop. This card is in the pcmcia slot. Now that I have installed 8.2 no internet yet. Yast seemed to detect it well and Kwifimanager shows that it is connected and supposedly doing fine but I cannot reach the internet yet. I have gone through alot of the archives for this problem and some mentioned that a symlink was necessary for it to be recognized correctly. I have not done that yet since I was not sure if that would help in my case since kwifimanager knows it is there and is monitoring it just fine it seems. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Marcia

WineX with 8.2
by michael norman 01 Jul '03

01 Jul '03

Hi I'm trying to run Transgamings winex to play games using 8.2. I have the latest version of winex plus the point to play gui. The issue I'm finding is with pthreads which according to the Transgaming docs is a problem with some distros. I'm not sure what pthreads is, one of the error messages I got seemed to relate it to the version of GCC available. So my questions are : anybody running 8.2 with winex successfully and if so did you have this problem and how did you solve it ? what exactly is pthreads ? Thanks Mike
