Hello again! Looking at /proc/interrups I saw that acpi was using irq 9 that belonged to the scsi controller. So I put passed acpi=off to the kernel at startup and the aic7xxx driver loaded succesfully Dovli On Fri, 2003-08-01 at 15:58, Alexandru Dovlete wrote: On Fri, 2003-08-01 at 15:58, Alexandru Dovlete wrote: > Hello > The kernel refuses to load the aic7xxx module.

IMAP, certificate and win2000
by Leen de Braal 01 Aug '03

01 Aug '03

Hi all, I installed a mailserver with SuSE8.2 and using imap, which all went well. I also made a certificate, imapd.pem, and converted it to imapd.cer (cutting the key info, leaving only the certificate info). This .cer file is correctly recognised and imported in WinXP clients, enabling Outlook Express to read mail without asking anymore about trusting the server. In win2000 clients however, I get a message about the certificate-file being invalid (exactly the same file!). I have been looking on the net, but could not find anything apropriate in the usual knowledge bases. Does someone of you wizzards ;-) have enough 2k-knowledge to help me out in this one?? TIA Leen

Email problem
by eric 01 Aug '03

01 Aug '03

Greetings! Got a problem here I don't understand. I used Yast to configure the MTA and I also use KMail. I'm receiving email in /var/spool/mail/eric instead of to my KMail. It doesn't seem to be happening all of the time though as I've got about 2000 emails from this list. I'm using a dial-up connection, I'm the local user and I forward root's email to eric (me). Any ideas on what's going on. Below is a header. Doesn't Status: U mean undeliverable?

Is the module loaded? Check this with 'lsmod'. Also, first try this 'manually'. So perform a modprobe, check it with dmesg, and ultimately try to mount the disk(s).

Metrication inches forward {a dummy asks}
by Peter Evans 01 Aug '03

01 Aug '03

I've just about got used to the (semifictional) measurement of monitors by diagonals in inches, and the capacity of printers and scanners in "dpi" -- but really, for OOo to make "letter size" the default page size and to have me adjust its margins in inches is a bit much for me to stomach. Mozilla's in inches, too. Bleurghh. Konqueror is set up for A4 and centimetres, but it refuses to send anything to the printer. Could there be a message in that? Is SuSEgnuLinux more ruggedly American than 'Doze, so I must learn to love these quaint, pre-Napoleonic units? Say it ain't so, and that I've just overlooked something simple. -- Peter Evans, Linux ignoramus, asking stoopid questions since circa June '03.

KDE 3.1.3 Desktop font weirdness
by Joe Morris (NTM) 01 Aug '03

01 Aug '03

Has anybody else had a problem with their 3.1.3 desktop fonts (on 8.2). On mine, the size will change, the font will change, but the color won't. I normally have a white text, now it is white in the center with a dark border on each letter, and changing it doesn't work (tried it in different accounts as well). Any ideas? I think it's ugly, but I can still read it (not as well). -- Joe Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris(a)ntm.org Web Address: http://www.mydestiny.net/~joe_morris Registered Linux user 231871 God said, I AM that I AM.
