StarOffice
by Maura Edelweiss Monville 02 Mar '04

02 Mar '04

In spite of recent improvement I still prefer StarOffice to OpenOffice because it provides a wider math and technical symbol set . Does anyone know whether it is still available for free to students and where the version for SuSE 9.0 can be found ? Thank you. MEM

02 Mar '04

Merry meet venerable Sir or Lady and Blessed Be. May we and all our relatives be safe and secure May we and all our relatives be happy at heart Hi, I have a 5 button mouse of Typhoon. Yet I can only select a three button mouse with SuSE. Can anybody tell me whether or not it is possible to use the other two buttons as well. I can chose to put the mouse on the USB or PS/2. Its a nice mouse with a wheel button as well. May all beings be safe and secure May all beings be happy at heart with mudita Ratana Mata -- Out of the Ratana Sutta. 1. "Whatever beings (non-humans) are assembled here, terrestrial or celestial, may they all have peace of mind, and may they listen attentively to these words: 2. "O beings, listen closely. May you all radiate loving-kindness to those human beings who, by day and night, bring offerings to you (offer merit to you). Wherefore, protect them with diligence. ... ... 5. "The Supreme Buddha extolled a path of purity (the Noble Eightfold Path) calling it the path which unfailingly brings concentration. There is nought comparable to this concentration. This precious jewel is the Dhamma. By this (asseveration of the) truth may there be happiness. ... ... 8. "As a post deep-planted in the earth stands unshaken by the winds from the four quarters, so, too, I declare is the righteous man who comprehends with wisdom the Noble Truths. This precious jewel is the Sangha. By this (asseveration of the) truth may there be happiness. ... ... 12. "As the woodland groves though in the early heat of the summer month are crowned with blossoming flowers even so is the sublime Dhamma leading to the (calm) of Nibbana which is taught (by the Buddha) for the highest good. This precious jewel is the Buddha. By this (asseveration of the) truth may there be happiness. ... ... Translated from the Pali by Piyadassi Thera. Put available by John Bullit.

New Toshiba Laptop woes and setup problems
by Pete Durst 02 Mar '04

02 Mar '04

Hi, I should have realized that getting a "new" laptop would mean some setup woes would be involved. I have two problems that I was wondering if you folks could help out with. The first is the sound. SuSE 9.0 seems to recognize the sound card, but does not connect it to a driver. If I go to add a sound card, the one my system reports is not on the list. From the info I got on the Toshiba website, this is a RealTek AC'97 sound card. My hardware info reports this: 23: PCI 14.5: 0401 Multimedia audio controller [Created at pci.65] Unique ID: hB6S.0pxIf7ccEy4 Hardware Class: sound Model: "Toshiba America Info Multimedia audio controller" Vendor: pci 0x1002 "ATI Technologies Inc" Device: pci 0x4341 SubVendor: pci 0x1179 "Toshiba America Info Systems" SubDevice: pci 0xff00 Memory Range: 0xf4004400-??? (rw,non-prefetchable) IRQ: 11 (50060 events) Config Status: cfg=no, avail=yes, need=no, active=unknown That's the one problem. The other is that the system has an ATI Mobility Radeon 9000 (that uses a chunk of main ram for video ram). I am only able to use this card using vesa drivers. Is there a newer actual radeon driver available to use? The laptop is a performance issue as well. Although I am not sure if that's because of the video driver or something else. I have tried to engage dma for the disks, but have been un-sucessful at that. Any help would be much appreciated!!

Yes, but I applied a patch from Timo Felbinger which permit that. And on the 4.2.0a (20040225) is fully supported. Try and see, I only had to change the options, they are different that the 4.1.1 SuSE official to support chroot and nonroot user.

OpenOffice print - number of copies
by Radule Soskic 02 Mar '04

02 Mar '04

I can't make my OOo1.1 to print more than one copy at once. Whatever the number I set in the print dialog box, it stops after the first printed copy. I use the version packaged with SuSE 9.0 Pro. Is it experienced by others, or it's just me? Thank you in advance for any advice on solving this. cikasole

feedback regarding CUPS preauth_security.patch
by Johannes Meixner 02 Mar '04

02 Mar '04

Hello, in http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2003/09/jsmeix_print-einrichten-90.html I described in the "Generalized Functionality for BrowseAllow and BrowseDeny" section how SUSE's CUPS preauth_security.patch works and I asked for feedback. Up to now I didn't receive feedback which indicates that the CUPS preauth_security.patch works well. Nevertheless to be safe here the explicit question: Are there problems because of the generalized functionality for BrowseAllow and BrowseDeny? Kind regards Johannes Meixner -- SUSE LINUX AG, Maxfeldstrasse 5 Mail: jsmeix(a)suse.de 90409 Nuernberg, Germany WWW: http://www.suse.de/

Laptop Install Problems with SuSE 9.0
by Pete Durst 02 Mar '04

02 Mar '04

Hi, I am trying to install SuSE 9.0 onto my new laptop and have been stumped by a installation failure. When trying to install, it gets part way through identifying the hardware, and when it tries to start the GUI installer, I get a "keyboard not present" error, and a couple of messages about try to connect the console to /dev/ttys0. Aside from the fact that the laptop does not have a serial port to do this, I can not see any way to get the installer to get past this point. I have tried to do a text only install, and it still fails at the same spot. I am able to use the keyboard to interact with the program, and I am able to see the characters that I type and such, so think that this is just an "X" issue of some sort. Can anyone help with this problem? How do I get the install to go?

subversion
by Glenn Holmer 02 Mar '04

I downloaded subversion 0.99 RPMs from SuSE, but when I go to install them, it tells me I need libneon 0.24 (0.23 is packaged with 9.0). Anybody know if it's safe to force the install (or either where to get 0.24 RPMs)? -- ================================================================== Glenn Holmer (Linux registered user #16682) ================================================================== We shall swim out to that brooding reef in the sea and dive down through black abysses to Cyclopean and many-columned Y'ha-nthlei, and in that lair of the Deep Ones we shall dwell amidst wonder and glory for ever. ================================================================== -H.
