SUSE 9.2/.1 nec3500a burn dual layer iso
by Adolph & Sharon Weidanz 28 Nov '04

28 Nov '04

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hey all.. I've done a google search an couldn't find what I needed. Because I know how to make an iso, and usually burning a large number of files, I find it easier to go the iso route. Well I did a rip of my SUSE 9.2 dvd and after all was said and done I had an iso a bit over 7.5gb. What I now want to do is burn this directly to a dual layer dvd. K3B doesn't recognize the DL, when I tried a copy and it didn't when I tried to burn the iso. Someone recommended klvemkdvd, but it seems to work with video files.. I found one site that talked about burning the dl original to a single layer.. But thats no help. Any help would be appreciated as these DL bastards are $6 a pop, and I can't afford to coaster any.. - -- Quis cusotdiet ipsos custodes ?To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.?

ddclient under 9.2
by steve 28 Nov '04

28 Nov '04

I installed ddclient from the 9.2 dvd and set it up using chkconfig as per the documentation. This broke my /etc/init.d configuration. The SuSE rpm seems to run in daemon mode without me having to do anything to the installation apart from change the settings in ddclient.conf under /etc. It used to send messages by e-mail to root but now it's silent even though it's working OK. Anyone else using the SuSE rpm as opposed to the tar file? Cheers, Steve.

Ximian Evolution
by Glenn Williams 28 Nov '04

28 Nov '04

Hello group: I would like to install Ximian Evolution on my SuSE 9.1 Linux, as an alternative to KDE KMail. Is this application in the list of software supplied with version 9.1? As I recall, Evolution is part of the Gnome desktop. Can Evolution be used with the KDE desktop? Does it need to be downloaded, or is the part of the software on the CD, or is it copied to the hard drive during installation? I was able to get the wireless network card configured properly and it is now working. I had apparently neglected to configure the card for DHCP the first time around, and that is obviously why did not work. Thanks in advance for any help. Kindest regards, Glenn

Installing Suse on a dell insipron 1150 laptop
by Ian K. Harrell 28 Nov '04

28 Nov '04

Hello everyone, I am looking for any information anyone might have concerning installing suse 9.1 on a dell inspiron 1150 laptop. I downloaded the eval DVD and it seemed to boot ok but I was unable to check the operation of the sound card, the ethernet card, the modem and the wireless 802.11g card. For the time being this system will be dual booting with XP due to work requirements. If the sound card and modem are a problem I can live without them but I must be able to get the ethernet and wireless card operational in linux. Hardware specs on this system are as follows: - Dell Inspiron 1150 - Pent 4 @ 2.66GHz - 512 Ram - Intel 82852/82855 GM/GME Graphics Controller (this seemed to work ok with the eval-DVD, but I didn't do a lot of testing with it) - Synaptics PS2 Port Pointing Device (touchpad) - Broadcom BCM V.92 56k Modem - Broadcom 440x 10/100 Integrated Controller (ethernet) - Dell wireless WLAN 1350 802.11G mini-pci card (I understand this is also made by broadcom for dell but I could not confirm this nor find broadcom's model # if it's true) - SigmaTel C-Major AudioIntel 82801DB/DBM USB 2.0 Enhanced Host Controller - 24CD Any help, advice or assistance is greatly appreciated. Thank you, Ian Harrell

Hello SuSE folk, Recently did a new install of 9.2. After it finished I restored some of my old saved files, one of them being my Desktop settings. Of course that blew away My computer. Now I get a message every time I boot up. How do I get it back? Bob S.

Gigabit Ethernet card experiances?
by Peter B Van Campen 28 Nov '04

28 Nov '04

Hi All, Looking for your experiances with Gigabit Ethernet cards in SUSE 9.2 or 9.1. Particularly PCI cards, not so much on-board ships. I am especially interested in the cheaper cards. I have had almost perfect experiances with the Realtek 10/100 cards, and never paid more than $8, and mostly $2.50. Looking forward to your good and/or bad stories! PeterB

Outlook pst files into KMail
by Eric Wagar 28 Nov '04

28 Nov '04

Is there a way to get Outlook pst files into KMail? I see options for Outlook Express (OE), but I don't see one for Outlook. I just tried loading the Outlook files and KMail complains that it doesn't see any OE pst files. Any ideas? I am sure I can't be the only one that want to drop the evil ones! :) eric
