Who Import Only from Communicator IV?
by doc 31 Oct '04

31 Oct '04

I am trying to import mail from my Suse 9.1 install w/Mozilla Mail into my new install of Suse 9.2 also with Mozilla Mail (1.7.2). When I run Import the only option it provides is Communicator IV, which seems a very odd limitation. I'd like to Import from the prior folders from Mozilla Mail, not a M$ product. I want to avoid copying over the actual folders because in the past it seemed to trigger a bunch of instabilities (going from Mozilla Mail under 9.0 to 9.1). -- Thanks! & 73, doc kd4e West Central Florida 100% Linux.

[SLE] Installation problem #2 -- 9.1 Pro -- portmapper
by Ted Hilts 31 Oct '04

31 Oct '04

Has anyone installed 9.1 Pro and had portmap start (or seem to start and then quit)? I cannot find portmap when I do "ps -A | grep portmap". When I try to "mount gateway:/HDD2 /SomeDir" from another Linux machine I get the error: RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC: Unable to receive. When I examine /var/log/messages after doing "insserv /etc/init.d/portmap" I do not see any evidence that it ran or failed. However, when I re-run inetd it immediately displays an error, some kind of failure in communicating. All this makes me think that something has not been configured associated in some way with the operation or enabling of portmap. When I cause it to produce a status or retry it always declares success yet it must immediately fail because it does not show up on "ps -A" as it does on the other Linux machines. Could the firewall inhibit the operation of portmap? Should I be getting SuSe support to look at this problem? Thanks-TED

Contents of 9.2 Live dvd?
by rkimber＠ntlworld.com 31 Oct '04

31 Oct '04

How much of 9.2 is available on the Live DVD? The website says:- "Want a hassle-free way to try Linux? Download SUSE LINUX Professional 9.2 Live DVD. It runs completely from your DVD drive. No need to install anything." What's New includes:- Digital video recorder vdr, technology of tomorrow for the upcoming digital TV I downloaded and burnt the Live iso and it booted fine, but I couldn't find anything that related to vdr in the menus. Perhaps I've overlooked it. Can anyone tell me if it's there? Also, my PVR card wasn't auto-detected, but it is detected by the hardware detection, and also listed if you go into the TV manual configuration section, but it wasn't obvious how to set it up - all attempts ending with a "no package source defined" error. - Richard. -- Richard Kimber http://www.psr.keele.ac.uk/

One 9.2 Complaint

It's actually not a complaint against Linux. It's a complaint about nautilus running under Gnome 2.6.

Stupid RPM question
by Steven Pasternak 31 Oct '04

31 Oct '04

This is probobly a stupid question with an obvious answer. I don't know how to correctly install a .src.rpm. When I install one, it installs fast and the files aren't there. For instance, a 'kernel-source' source rpm that is 190MB installs very fast and no new files are in /usr/src. How do install one correctly

[SLE] PORTMAP and friends
by Ted Hilts 31 Oct '04

31 Oct '04

[SLE] List Gang: I've opened a SuSe 9.1 Pro (FULL INSTALL -- desktop and server) support ticket to cover installation problems that seem to be tied directly to PORTMAP. There seems to be a fair number of people on the list that have been involved with this installation problem or something close. As soon as the problem is resolved I will make this information available only to those on the list that request it. To obtain this information simply send me a reply with the message: "Send me the results of your trouble ticket once the problem is resolved" Also be sure to include your email address within the text as I have done here: mailto:thilts@help-for-you.com This will save me a lot of trouble in getting the information back to you. Thanks to all that tried to help out on this installation problem. Ted PS: In case you were wondering. There will be too much information and imposition on list members to update everyone including the uninterested. The results will be posted on a web site and the URL to that web location will be emailed only to those interested. If possible I will also try to include the YAST2 (alternative to Alice), config file, and other info used as a template to update other Linux machines. I will post this note a few times to ensure that those interested can benefit from these solutions.
