Hi, Please have a look under: http://susefaq.sourceforge.net/kde.html#KDE_UPGRADE All instructions from FAQ are based that SuSE is offering the new rpms under their ftp site. If not I would be glad too to hear a method about this. stefan --- Turd Ferguson <turdferguson(a)infowest.com> wrote: What is the best way to keep KDE up to date with the lastest releases?

Cable internet questions
by Franklin Maurer 23 Sep '03

23 Sep '03

Well i'm finally going to get high speed internet in the next few months. But i have a few questions... I'd like to turn one of my old computers into a dedicated firewall, would smoothwall or the SuSE firewall be a better choice? The computer is a old piece of ... 100 Mhz pentium, 96 MB, 2 whopping 1g hardrives ... will this be sufficient?. I take it that it needs two nics, right? (Modem to firewall, firewall to router) Is Lynksys a good choice for a router? Any specific model? Is the setup modem > firewall > router > computer land ? Any faqs or how tos I should read? TIA -- Franklin Maurer Using SuSE 8.2 Pro

Re: ACPI problems
by Norman Duncan 23 Sep '03

23 Sep '03

Hello folks I'm back again after a week of other activities.... Since i`m not a system administrator or anything similar ... I have another job which I try to manage whilst getting to know this SuSe Linux monster. I managed to load acpid fine. Up come all the battery management facilities, and they work well. But .... now ... .... when I shut down my system and yast is killing the various components running ... it stops (sticks) at shutting down sound drivers (suspisciously immediately after shutting down acpi). .... I have had to pull out the power cord and battery to get it to stop. Thank Linus that this hasn't created more problems, but it is not a very gracefull way of shutting down. I have reverted to APM where everything shuts down nicely. As previously: brand new laptop P4 running Suse 8.1 Kde 3.1.3 with all automatic patches and updates Thanks for any help Norm

Where Is Second CPU?
by L. Mark Stone 23 Sep '03

23 Sep '03

Customer has a Compaq 6400r twin PIII Xeon server. During POST, the BIOS reports both processors as A-OK, but, SuSE 8.2 installer only "sees" CPU0 and installs the default kernel. Installing the SMP kernel with YaST doesn't help; even then only the first CPU is seen by the system. Both CPUs are of the same stepping. Ideas? Thanks! Mark L.

8.1 Pro "you" will not initiliaze
by Thomas G Land 23 Sep '03

23 Sep '03

Suse 8.1 Pro boxed version, default install, you updated thru a couple of weeks ago. I have tried yast online update. I have tried every mirror listed in the drop down list. I have let it set for 60 minutes. It never connects Procman indicates that wget is sleeping and never wakes. DSL is working fine for other applications. No changes have been made since last update. Where should I begin to look? Why would it just stop working? Anyone else have this problem after an update?
