Hi, when YOU starts with 'Getting patch information', about halfway it says: Error Signature check for patch info files fails. Cannot load patch information. Details: Patch: k_deflt-36077 No way to proceed. Updating k_deflt from the SuSE update site makes no difference. Any idea what's going on? SH

Star Office 5.2 fonts
by Carl William Spitzer IV 02 Sep '03

02 Sep '03

After following the directions for adding fonts to Suse 7.3 I find they are not available in Star Office. In the control panel section I did check the box for setting up star office but nothing happened. Do I need to directly edit a script or force SO to reinitialize itself using the added fonts.

ULB GNOME 0.3.2
by James Ogley 02 Sep '03

02 Sep '03

Released this afternoon, available at www.usr-local-bin.org, version 0.3.2. Highlights of this release include: * Some interface changes - Galeon & Nautilus now use the same spinner by default, the gnome one, and logout & lock buttons on the panel by default. * Updated GStreamer & plugins, which actually work this time! ;-) * Rhythmbox 0.5.2, which replaces net-Rhythmbox * gnome-icon-theme updated * nautilus2, libgnome and Smooth-Themes also required updates Some of the other 'core' packages have been updated, but these updates are not required by ulb-gnome (such as gdm2, nautilus-media) Enjoy James -- James Ogley, Webmaster, Rubber Turnip james(a)rubberturnip.org.uk http://www.rubberturnip.org.uk Jabber: riggwelter(a)myjabber.net Using Free Software since 1994, running GNU/Linux (SuSE 8.2) GNOME updates for SuSE: http://www.usr-local-bin.org

Printing in Mozilla Mail
by Darrell Cormier 02 Sep '03

02 Sep '03

Does anyone know how to print email messages in Mozilla 1.4 without including the header as part of the printed text? If not is there a way to get the mail program to let you print only selected text? Printing only selected text is available in the web browser and email composer but not in the mail browser. TIA, Darrell

8.2 lilo and intel 1000 nic
by josef332 02 Sep '03

02 Sep '03

Hello fellow Susers, I have managed to install SuSE 8.2 on my Asys P4c800-E DLX motherboard using the onboard Promise controller at RAID 1 (ide hdd's). I also have a sata HDD on the Intel ICH5 R controller. LILO was installed on /dev/sda1. My problem is how to be able to dual boot between linux and Win XP . The win xp disk of course is as good as non existennt for linux. I am now dual booting through changing the boot priority of the HDD's in the BIOS. Is this the only way to do it? I have also been unable to make the Intel Gigabyte NIC work . What module should I load? Thanks in advance for your help! Josef

Re: [SLE] No more XD2 ..(.now I have X and KDE but cant login to Gnome)
by Thinker 02 Sep '03

02 Sep '03

This is what I have just done ... 1. As a user became root (su) and typed 'init 3'. 2. Logged in as root and typed 'startx'. This took me to KDE 3.1.1 3. Opened a terminal and typed 'synaptic'. 4. In synaptic I clicked on the "update List" after that was finished I clicked on the "distribution upgrade" icon.. and then proceed. 5. Once the distro upgrade was complete, I rebooted to see if anything would change. I got the gdm at runlevel 5 but when I chose gnome as the session, it booted me to kde anyway. 6. I went back and ran synaptic again, this time choosing everything gnome (ulb) there was to install/upgrade. When executing rpm (Uvh) this install gave extra output that I have no idea what it is. What to do now? If I could find a way to make backups of my evolution and document directories to my CDR via cli .. I think I would do that and simply reinstall SuSE 8.2 at this point. Unfortunately I don't know how to make such a backup and I think this is a learning experience for me and Linux.

Try this Add the following options to the mplayer when you play the movie: -mc 0.0001 -autosync 30 -cache 8192 Also before playing the movie enable the rtc like this su -c "echo 1024 > /proc/sys/dev/rtc/max-user-freq" su -c "chmod 644 /dev/rtc" and enable the DMA on the CD-ROM( or DVD ) I hope this helps Zsolt David T-G wrote: >Franklin, et al -- > >...and then Franklin Maurer said... >% >... >% You need to get xine or mplayer from packman. > >I got mplayer, and all of the other pieces it needed; I had mplayer but >it didn't have the css code.
