Trying to add socks service in YaST
by Jim Sabatke 02 May '04

02 May '04

It won't let me enter a user or group. It won't let me save it without entering a user or group. I tried editing an existing service and couldn't select a user or group there either. Help! -- Jim Sabatke Hire Me!! - See my resume at http://my.execpc.com/~jsabatke Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for you are crunchy and good with ketchup.

Wireless access
by Michael Satterwhite 01 May '04

01 May '04

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 SuSE 9.0 I have a Linksys WPC11 in my laptop which I had given up on getting to work. I just finished installing SuSE 9.0 on the machine, and somehow it is working now ... almost. I can see my router, and I can see the other machines on my local network. I have no problem mounting NFS directories on the network. What I can't do is see the internet. Logic tells me that it should be a lot easier to get this working than it was to get the wireless card working. The problem is that I don't have a clue as to where to start. I've looked at everything I could think of. I even added my IPs name server IP addresses manually. Note: if I ping something inside my network, it works. If I try to ping something outside my network - even by IP address - I get a message telling me the network in unreachable. Can anyone offer any help? - ---Michael -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2-rc1-SuSE (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFAlBodjeziQOokQnARAs46AJ9t0LfY3y/W+QMp6CTMtj1GQQyH7wCffM/y wqU3Xihd5+8gM12De6Jkp80= =q0dr -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

The Print Manager is showing a lightening bolt in the Job ID column. The 'State' of the job is: processing, the IPP report says the job is printing but the job is not printing. What does the lightening bolt mean? How do I correct it?

highlight text
by Mike Roy 01 May '04

01 May '04

Hello everyone: I've had to reinstall SuSE 8.2 and one of the features I liked before but can't remember how I did it was to select the color used to highlight text in K-mail. For example, the default is white text on a blue background. I was able to change this to black text on an orange or deep yellow background but I've forgotten exactly where I made this change. Any suggestions greatly appreciated. Cheers, Mike

Upgrade woes...
by Torkild Ulvøy Resheim 01 May '04

After upgrading from SuSE 9.0 Professional to 9.1 it still claims to be 9.0. Not a big deal I guess, except that YOU wants to patch the wrong version.
