Can anyone here recommend a Linux website development tool with the same sort of capabilities that, say, Dreamweaver has? I'm not looking for a clone, only for something comparable. Paul Abrahams

Intel 865G graphics chip with SuSE 8.2
by Peter A. Taylor 30 Sep '04

30 Sep '04

I have installed SuSE 8.2 on a Dell Optiplex GX270, with an Intel 865G graphics chip, and all I can get is a badly tuned 640x480 video mode. I tried setting the video memory to 8MB in the BIOS, and ran sax2 -r, but it didn't seem to make any difference. Any suggestions? I also notice that the wheel in my USB wheel mouse doesn't work.

I did a Yast update of all installed software and the kernel. Does this mean I now have SuSE 9.2? john -- ############################################# # John N. Alegre # Andante Systems # Web Hosting # Web Site Development # www.johnalegre.net #############################################

SSL Certificate
by Kaare Rasmussen 30 Sep '04

Hi Can anyone recommend a good supplier of SSL certificates? I can self-certificate my Apache servers, but visitors will be presented with a message box. So I need a certificate that all common browsers will accept.

Mousewheel question
by Scott Carpenter 30 Sep '04

30 Sep '04

I have a Microsoft trackball for a mouse.. when I did the fresh install of SuSE professional 9.1 the mouswheel worked correctly. After playing around a bit and FINALLY getting the 3D working on my Alienware laptop it seems somewhere along the line the mouse settings got messed up and I no longer can scroll using the mousewheel. Can someone point me in the right direction to fix this? I have tried the Mouse settings in Yast2 but that does not seem to do anything. I suspect it may be something in the XFree86config file but I am not sure. Thank you, Scott

Nvidia Help after Kernel upgrade -- PLEASE HELP
by John N. Alegre 30 Sep '04

30 Sep '04

I did a SuSE kernel upgrade. I did NOT upgrade the Nvidia drivers using Yast as I was trying to prevent this problem. I had a hard time getting the drivers to work when I first installed SuSE. My Nvidia drivers are not loading and I pretty much forgot those steps(I'm old). I know there is a README on this from Nvidia which are the steps I used the first time but as most of you know the Nvidia site is down and I don't have access to Mozilla anyway. If anyone has this could you please send it as I can get to my email using pine. Someone lease help me. Here is what I remember if anyone could fill in the blanks I would be grateful (but not dead). There is an app or a script that is called something like nvidia-instalXXXXXXX where the X's refer to a specific version of the drivers. Running this installs the drivers. Where do I get it? After I install the drivers there is a SuSE linux command that I run to link the driver module into the kernel at bootup. What is it? Thanks list for your help. All comments welcome john -- ############################################# # John N.

command for getting owner
by Edward F. Howson 30 Sep '04

30 Sep '04

Does anyone know of a command or script that will report back only the owner of a file or directory? ll or ls -l gives me too much information. I wish to use the output in a script of my own. Thanks Eddie

What does logrotate do?
by Paul W. Abrahams 30 Sep '04

30 Sep '04

I've been puzzling over the man page for logrotate, and as far as I can tell it never defines what it means to rotate a logfile even though it describes a host of variations on how to do it. Can anyone define log rotation for me? Does it mean using a set of log files (one for each of the last five days, say) for a particular log? Is logrotate the right tool for truncating a single log to remove entries that are, say, more than ten days old? Paul Abrahams
