Wonderfull. Well, now you go run SaX2 which will add a DisplaySize setting to the /etc/X11/XF86Configure making your fonts as big as your thumb. Either that, or find what setting need to be in the XF86Config and put them there yourself. There should/might be an XF86Config.rmpsave. I haven't tried my 3D.

How can I track quantity of data in and our of my system?
by Tom Nielsen 01 Mar '04

01 Mar '04

I'm trying to find out how many bytes/megabytes is being sent and received over my network card. Reason for this is because I'm thinking of getting a GPRS card when I go to Germany for a tradeshow. The company will charge me $13.00 per MB. Thanks, Tom -- Tom Nielsen Neuro Logic Systems 805.389.5435 x18 www.neuro-logic.com

again DHCP & DNS
by babu walad 01 Mar '04

01 Mar '04

Folks, I am still trying to figure this one out. With a small home office serviced by a hardware/software router using DHCP whether I have internet access or not (isolated network) I ought to be able to resolve hostnames to DHCP generated dynamic IP addresses. Seems like going to an outside registry is overkill and unnecessary. How does one set this up? Do I need a DNS service running on the router? Any ideas? Thanks again.

Kernel update error
by Yield 01 Mar '04

01 Mar '04

I recently applied the last kernel update which is 2.4.21-192-default and after a reboot every time I use my iptables config or if I run squid/xinetd then I'm unable to resolv anything from within the host, but everything seems ok if I reboot and connect but without running anything (just postfix and nscd, the default services). I think a reasonable solution is to compile a kernel by myself but I would prefer another solution, thnx. begin 666 smime.p7s M,( &"2J&2(;W#0$'`J" ,( "`0$Q"S )!@4K#@,"&@4`,( &"2J&2(;W#0$' M`0``H(((\S""`GLP@@'DH ,"`0("`PM*!C -!@DJADB&]PT!`00%`#!B,0LP M"08#500&$P):03$E,",&`U4$"A,<5&AA=W1E($-O;G-U;'1I;F<@*%!T>2D@ M3'1D+C$L,"H&`U4$`Q,C5&AA=W1E(%!E<G-O;F%L($9R965M86EL($ES<W5I M;F<@0T$P'A<-,#,Q,C X,3DP,C,V6A<-,#0Q,C W,3DP,C,V6C!),1\P'08# M500#$Q94:&%W=&4@1G)E96UA:6P@365M8F5R,28P) 8)*H9(AO<-`0D!%A=Y M:65L9$!R87IA+6UE>&EC86YA+F]R9S"!GS -!(a)DJADB&]PT!`0$%``.!C0`P M@8D"@8$`V@%.,I)*F$/BDAD]7$?5\2\LI,]O%!Y[^*8WFW(*U9N?%C+$M.9A M)]$&^FE$R3UQ^A-?BXR)]9D'TT3#%PC'G1Q95;ZX`?2EDCOZ1"_K-HWH]1V?

SUSE 9.0 doesn't seem to pick up XDG menu categories
by Julius Schwartzenberg 01 Mar '04

01 Mar '04

Hi, When I put a standard category in my .desktop file, SUSE 9.0 doesn't seem to put the file in the correct menu. It puts the application in Applications instead. Is this a problem with SUSE 9.0 or could this be related to my KDE version? What should I do to fix it? Thanks in advance, Julius

OT: What Perl Modules are installed?
by Ahbaid Gaffoor 01 Mar '04

01 Mar '04

Hello all, how do you test to see what perl modules are installed? Is there a quick command that does this for Perl? Something like how we can do "rpm -qa" to see all rpm's installed... many thanks, Ahbaid

Re: [SLE] Lost root

One solution can be: - boot on any other device than your harddisk.. boot on the SLES CD in rescue mode... boot on any linux boot floppy.. - mount the FS of your disk that contains the /etc directory data - vi the file /etc/shadow - you should have a line root:XXXX:something... where XXXX stands for your crypted root password - remove the XXXX - restart your box and this time boot on you HardDisk - at the prompt type "root", no password should be requested - And do not forget to create a new password. regards Damien.

Hardware question...
by James Hatridge 01 Mar '04

01 Mar '04

Hi all... I've got a hub and the transformer burned up. So as a replacement I got the type that has multi-value for the volts, ie from 0 to 12v. My hub uses 5v, but the transformer has only 4.5 and 6v. I put the dial about between the two. It works, but is this good? It also works when I set it at 6v, but could this be too much? Any ideas?
