Cups problem
by Tarjei Huse 01 Oct '04

01 Oct '04

Hi, I've been running Cups + Samba3 on a SuSE 8.2 box for quite some time now. The last few weeks I've been having big problems with the printing part of the server. One of the problems I'm having now is that gs seems to hang on select documents - both wordfiles, pdfs and others. This isn't a satisfactory situation, and I need some tips on how to debug and /or solve this problem. Here's the ps-output that shows the processes running during one printjob. lp 32334 0.1 0.7 7696 3860 ?

How to install only particular module - pwc for instance
by Robert Rozman 01 Oct '04

01 Oct '04

Hi, I've compiled modules for Suse kernel with pwc being among them. But I don't want to go into adventure with "make modules install", but would like only to install pwc module. 1. way would be to copy by hand, but don't know where and what files ? 2. there must be some "make modules install pwc" command ? Thanks in advance, Robert.

Help with KDE Menu - Switch User is missing
by Jim Flanagan 01 Oct '04

01 Oct '04

The Kmenu option to Switch User is missing. Not sure when it happened, about 3 weeks ago. I've looked in Menu Editor but have not found the "actions"section of the menu. There was a post in suse-kde about this same problem, but it related to errors in /var/log/messages with problems on that system writing to /var/run/xdmctl/xdmctl. I don't have that error message. I'm running suse 8.2 with kde 3.2.3. On a similar but less important issue, somewhere in my several upgrades of kde, the menu items have added the suse & suse work menu up into the kde menu. I still have the suse menu button and suse work menu button where they should be. These old original suse & suse work menus seem to now be menu options up among the kde menu items. I tried changing a setting in kde about this, but no change. Additionally there is a Lost & found item that contains MANY items, most of which look like screen savers, but not all, e.g. tea timer, moonphase etc. Any help would be appreciated. Jim Flanagan

Re: [SLE] Has The performance been forgotten?
by Bahram Alinezhad 01 Oct '04

"alberto-g" <alberto-g(a)inventati.org>: There is definitely something wrong with KDE in Suse. Even the smallest apps open in 5 seconds. If I try the same in Knoppix (kernel 2.6, KDE 3.2) it takes 1 second, on the same hardware. Other non-KDE apps start in no time. I experienced the same behaviour on different PCs. If you search a little you will find many people complaining about this. Everybody at this point suggests to use a lighter WM. But the problem is not KDE, it is something with Suse! __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New and Improved Yahoo! Mail - Send 10MB messages! http://promotions.yahoo.com/new_mail

> -----Original Message----- > From: Thorsten Kukuk [SMTP:kukuk@suse.de] > > The split was made one day after the 9.1 master, as always. > It is the development tree. I notice that there is a new directory called "deltas" which contains various files of the form "*.delta.rpm". Curiosity: Is this a refinement on the existing "patch RPMs" that SUSE has had for a while now?
