My KDE behaved weirdly.

Dear my friends.... I openned some application such as konqueror browsers. but if I minimize the window of the applications its minimization result doesn't go to the panel (on the bottom of my display). If I click on minimizing button of a window, it just goes disappeared. I can not see a small icon on the panel (on the buttom of my display) so I can choose to reopen one of the application I will. Previously if click on the minimizing button of a window, it just changes to be a small icon on the buttom of my display. Since today I can only reopen the window of openned application with "alt-tab" but not just click the small icon on the buttom of my KDE display. I want my previous KDE back. How can I repair my KDE? I want, I can minimize the window of openned applications and reopen it as I click the small Icon on the panel. Thank you very much. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

How do I import Kmail mail folders from another instance of Kmail on a different hard drive? The Kmail import command under tools doesn't list importing Kmail folders as an option. Thanks, Jerome

What Happened To Portsentry?
by C Hamel 31 Jan '04

31 Jan '04

There used to be a great (IMHO) utility out there called portsentry, which seems to be still available from sourceforge (but will not 'make'). Is v1.1 still available, somewhere? That was the suggested version and later betas did not get much traction. T/A... ...CHa

Take CDROM, on your "firewall" machine, you may want it to be root only who can mount a CDROM. This might it harder for some one to come up to the machine, pop in a CDROM and install something."bad". My example may be weak, but you get the idea. They are not groups like: Sales, Marketing, Developers, Quality, Engineers, HR, Accounting, Legal.... or "Users" But you may say Sales and Marketing could use the WWW (ie World Wide Web), but only from 10 AM to 4:00 PM. Whereas only Managers and Legal can use the CDROM, And Engineers can use the "floppy", And like that...

KInternet - How can I stay connected?
by Michael Yartsev 31 Jan '04

31 Jan '04

I have a DSL connection which works fine. My question is, how can I make the connection stay alive even when I log out/ in to my account? (or another account e.g root) And will the connection stay alive even when no user is logged into my machine? (@ the login screen). I also want to disable the timeout option when no internet activity has been detected for a while, where can I disable that? Why am I asking? I want to set up an apache web server and I want it to be up all the time even when no one's using the computer It doesn't have to be KInternet anything else is welcome as long as it gets the job done. Cheers, Mike

Wine Confusion
by C Hamel 31 Jan '04

31 Jan '04

I was using Mandrake for quite some time --v6 through 9-- and had very little trouble w/wine, in general. Now, w/SuSE9 I find that the two times I attempted to set it up it seemed to be broken. Why would it work on one distro and not another?? I find this very confusing! ...CH

SuSE 9.0 limits...
by Martin Cordova 31 Jan '04

31 Jan '04

1.- How much RAM does SuSE 9 supports? 2.- I just upgraded my kernel to 2.4.21.166 - how can I find if my SuSE supports Asyc I/O or posix threads? Is it possible to incorporate these features in SuSE 9? Regards, Martin _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

USB Port Question
by Dr. David M. Colburn 31 Jan '04

31 Jan '04

I am trying to get JPilot to talk to my Kyocera 6035 via a serial to usb adapter. lusb tells me that the adapter is Bus 003 Device 002. I am using the commands: ln -s --force /dev/ttyS3 /dev/pilot and chmod +wr /dev/pilot to prepare things for JPilot Is ttyS3 the correct port or does Bus 003 Device 002 mean something different, please? Thanks! dmc

Hi, FIrst of all, I have two Three SuSE 9.0 machines that are running fine! I just tried to install it on a slightly old AMD-K5 based machine, and everything works fine (so far) except when I try to run YOU to get it upto date. No matter which of the servers I try, it always fails in the same way. ERROR Signature check for patch info files failed. Cannot load patch information Patch: xf86tools-44811 Anyone had similar problems ? Peter
