Burning DVDs Slows System Clock?
by Lucky Leavell 22 Nov '04

22 Nov '04

I just installed a new NEC ND-3500A DVD+RW burner in my SuSE 9.0 system (Dell 600SC with SCSI hard drive but IDE DVD) and ran a master backup using the LoneTAR backup software. After completing both backup and verify passes the system clock had lost about 1 hour 40 minutes! Later, I burned about 600Mb and 200Mb to CDs using k3b and lost about five minutes. Is this a known problem? Do I need to look into renicing the backup processes to prevent this? Thank you, Lucky Leavell

Why am I paying SuSE for a distro if the software developers bundle the software?
by me＠prestoncrawford.com 21 Nov '04

21 Nov '04

I asked SuSE support about the lack of Gnome Conduits and this is what I got... "Unfortunatly it is up to the developer of the software to package it up for each distribution they wish to support, unfortunatly, if the package is not available for SuSE linux all I could suggest would be searching for the sources and compiling it on your system, beyond that theres not much we could do." So... (SuSE team listening) does this mean that every single RPM installed in SuSE is provided by the people who developed the software? The Kernel, Gnome, KDE, all of that comes to SuSE already ready to go. SuSE doesn't do anything, really. What, then, does SuSE do? Burn them all onto a CD for me? Seriously, this is the most ridiculous response I've ever received from a SuSE rep. I don't, for a minute, believe that the developers of Gnome-pilot-conduits created RPMs, packages, etc. for Mandrake, Fedora, Ark Linux, FreeBSD, Debian, etc. but not for SuSE. That's absurd. All I wanted was a straight answer and I got the biggest line of bull ever. Preston

Monitor problem after system left overnight.
by Robert A. Rawlinson 18 Nov '04

18 Nov '04

I have an older pc with an old slot II Celeron processer. It all seems ok. During the day when it goes into screen saver a small mouse movement brings it right back OK. But when it is left over night and I give it a mouse movement it comes back after a few min. with the screen seeming to vibrate and the mouse no longer will move. I can't do anything with it so I have to power down and restart it. It has an Nvidia MX-200 video card. Has anyone else run into this? Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks Bob

Have not found manpages for kdeinit and my web connection is so bad that a Google for the moment is not possible. Therefor to the list, why is kdeinit running four times with different pid numbers on my 9. box? Is that normal?

Samba
by Marek Pawinski 15 Nov '04

Hi I have samba set up and can see the Windows machine but can not write to it. I try to change the permisions on the Suse machine's /mnt point but they stay the same. Then i try to browse the network from the Windows machine and nothing, the Suse machine does not show up at all. What am i missing here as i have the same settings i use with other distros which work. I disable my firewall and to no avail. Must say nfs was a breeze with Suse 9.1, just this samba is giving me grief. Marek

Asus A8V motherboard and SuSE 9.1
by grdnwsl＠mrichi.com 11 Nov '04

Quick question, Has anyone had any experience with running SuSE 9.1 on an Asus A8V motherboard? I'm currently considering building a new Athlon 64 machine using this motherboard and I want to make sure things are supported. Sound doesn't matter on this machine, but I need to make sure things like the SATA controller and the NIC are supported under 9.1 Any info is appreciated. Thanks. -- Preston Kutzner Network Administrator Marketing Resources, Inc.

Removing attachements from stored mails
by Carlos E. R. 09 Nov '04

Hi, Pine has a nice feature (a bit hidden) that allows removing an attachement from any loaclly stored email in a mbox folder, leaving a text like this: | [ Part 2: "Deleted Attachment" ] | | [ The following attachments were DELETED when this message was saved: ] | [ A Application/X-GUNZIP segment of about 1,422,562 bytes, ] However, the name of the attachement is lost. I once wrote a little app to delete the attachement (I only got to beta status), but I lost it time ago, or at least i can not find it. I'd have to redo it, and it could only remove, not save the file. I wonder if such a thing does exist? Or if some other mail program can do the trick? Perhaps formail, but no idea how (yes, I have read the man). Google... I have never learnt to use it, and my network connection is temporary and paid by the minute. I prefer human persons and knowhow :-) Even a library for programmers would help a bit. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson [ The following attachments were DELETED when this message was saved: ] [ A Application/X-GUNZIP segment of about 1,422,562 bytes, ]

I *finally* learned to wait until I get plenty of feedback from this list before attempting anything. I tried both 9 & 9.1 and only 9 mostly worked. (Found out I had a bad CD-RW/DVD drive & that didn't help, of course.) I finally FTPd the 9.1 this past week and it seems the bugs have been mostly squashed, thank goodness. Less problems, but still not problem-free. ...Nor is Windoze. <G> __________________ Well, if things go well in tomorrow's install, and I can get my Kodak CX??00 camera working with 9.2, I'll be cleaning my Windoze - right off the hard drive. ;) don -- Web Developer Matheteuo Christian Fellowship webdev(a)matheteuo.org http://matheteuo.org/ Free software is like God's love - you can share it with anyone anywhere anytime!
