kprinter "DragNDrop" KTip
by Susemail 29 Dec '04

29 Dec '04

KTip: Want to print by using "DragNDrop"? Drag a file and drop it on the "Files" tab of an opened kprinter dialog. Then continue as you would normally: select a printer, job options, etc. and click the "Print" button. I typed "kprinter" in a Konsole to get the Kprinter dialog but there is no "Files" tab. Is there a way to print using "DragNDrop"? Thanks, Jerome

RE: [SLE] SATA Raid Volumes (AGAIN !!!)

Some of them do have good linux drivers, but many are troublesome.

When the OS loads and overrides controller's bios with its own driver, you have exactly pure software raid! The only difference with formal software raid is that the array is managed by the driver, not by the OS kernel. Can you mention any true hardware raid chipsets?

It will probably be somewhat faster than the builtin RAID chip, though not quite as convenient (IMHO - others can give you hundreds of reasons why software RAID is really better :). [...] <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<- Is "being faster" due to the fact that sw raid uses kernel optimizations while builtin raid uses driver optimizations?

newbie nfs question
by steve 28 Dec '04

28 Dec '04

I want to try to run scribus and inkscape by not installing them on our clients and exporting via nfs. The binaries are in /usr/bin on our server. What do I export from the server to the clients (who already have a /usr/bin) and where do I mount it on the clients so it's in their path? Or maybe I'm asking for too much. Lan with all on 9.2. cheers, Steve.

Typhoon Black 256MB mp3 player
by The Purple Tiger 28 Dec '04

28 Dec '04

Good evening ladies and gentlemen, geekesses and geeks, and all that reside between. Trying to sort this out remotely via telephone, so excuse some of the slightly scant details, but: Hardware: Typhoon Black 256MB mp3 player Software: SuSE 9.0 Pro Aim: To mount the drive to copy mp3s over. dmesg reports that the device is not accepting a new address. /var/log/messages indicates the same Tried modprobing the usb-storage driver which worked (as in it inserted cleanly) but the mp3 player is not being picked up still. I have done a precursory google and can't seem to find the right search term for a hit on this one. Any thoughts on where I should proceed? Please bear in mind that this is being done via telephone. Thanks for your time :) Jon

Mozilla e-mail client and Courier-IMAP
by Jeffrey L. Taylor 28 Dec '04

28 Dec '04

I am using Mozilla e-mail client and the Courier IMAP server. One of the mailboxes in the lefthand panel with the mailbox hierarchy is grayed out and the name in italics. It has the correct unread messages count, but clicking on it produces no messages in the righthand panel. Other mailboxes work fine. This mailbox works fine with SquirrelMail and the same IMAP server. What does grayed out and name in italics mean? How can I access this mailbox? TIA, Jeffrey

h2xs - new directory structure?
by Alex Daniloff 28 Dec '04

28 Dec '04

Hello SuSE folkz, I'm sorry if this is not 100% Linux related. However ... Recently, on SuSE9.2 which uses perl v5.8.5, I've noticed that h2xs lays out module directory structure in a quite different way than before. Prior to this I could create a module e.g. Data::Loader h2xs -XA -n Data::Loader And it would create directory Data, then subdirectory Loader with Loader.pm module and other files. The full path to the module looks like /Data/Loader/Loader.pm If I want to create another module e.g. Data::Reader h2xs would put it into /Data/Reader/Reader.pm Which is logically correct. How the same command produces directory Data-Loader with service files and subdirectory lib in which it creates subdirectory Data in which it creates the module Loader.pm The full path to the module looks like /Data-Loader/lib/Data/Loader.pm For another module e.g. Data::Reader it will be /Data-Reader/lib/Data/Reader.pm Why? Makes no sense to me. What the hell is going on with h2xs? Thank you in advance for any clues or practical help. Alex
