UTF-8 in KMail with Math Characters

This is from an email I received. If I export the message, and view it in Mozilla, the symbols render correctly as logical operators. For some reason, in KMail (and KNode) they come across looking sort of like [X]. Is that how they look to you? I tried changing fonts and encoding settings, but that didn't correct the display. Suggestions? If I don't find a solution soon, I plan on reporting a bug. I really do not wish to report a bogus bug if I can avoid it. > Implies[(a ∨ c) ∧ (b ∨ c),(a ∧ b) ∨ c]//FullSimplify > True > Implies[(a ∧ b) ∨ c,(a ∨ c) ∧ (b ∨ c)]//FullSimplify > True LogicalExpand[(a ∧ b) ∨ c]==LogicalExpand[(a ∨ c) ∧ (b ∨ c)] True Steven

Nvidia TV-out
by Jean-François Simon 09 Nov '05

09 Nov '05

Hello. I'm trying to use the TV-out of the nvidia graphic card on my laptop. It is a Geforce 6600 (PCI Express). I tried the nvtv program and end with the following error : "Fatal: No supported video card found." On sourceforge, it seems that the nvtv project is (nearly) dead (last release in April 2004). Is there a successor to this project ? I've also tried sax but without success. I end with the screen of my laptop with a 640*480 resolution and nothing on my TV :-(. Is it possible to do it with sax ? I prefer avoiding to manually modify the xorg.conf but if it is not possible is there a clear and easy HOWTO somewhere ? I read the Nvidia readme but it is too exhaustive for me. Thanks in advance for your help ! Jean-François

I'm wanting to use SuSe 10.0 (retail edition). Has anyone had success installing and running mythTV on SuSe 10? Once all of my hardware arrives, I'll begin an online journal of my endeavor.

Interesting. Well, I can't comment much instead to say that Linux - unlike Windows - is built with Networking in mind. Hence you should have no issues.

SuSE 10.0 and iptables
by David A. Parker 09 Nov '05

09 Nov '05

Hello, Is there a way that I can use iptables on Suse 10.0 without having to deal with all the SuSEfirewall2 files? I just want to be able to use iptables from the command line and make changes on-the-fly without running any scripts. Any help with this matter would be greatly appreicated. Thanks! - Dave -- Dave Parker Utica College Department of Integrated Information Technology Services Data Processing Office (315) 792-3229

online_update from two YAST repositories?
by Joachim Schrod 09 Nov '05

09 Nov '05

Hello, When I have two YAST repositories (e.g., SUSE's and Packman) and I want to get online updates from both, how do I configure that? yast2 itself offers only one location to enter, so that cannot be used. (Anyhow, I want to call online_update differently than yast2 would do it: -s -d instead of -g.) Do I call online_update twice, with different -u parameters? Does that work when both repositories have the same package (e.g., xmms)? Thanks in advance for any answer, Joachim -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Joachim Schrod Email: jschrod(a)acm.org Roedermark, Germany

Re: [SLE] vmware 5.0 on suse 10.0 64bit
by Janko Mivšek 09 Nov '05

09 Nov '05

Hi Syv, P4 3.2 (and above) is actually 64bit (internally AFAIK), a x86_64 architecture. SuSE installation reminded me about that fact at the start. I also deliberately bought that procesor to test 64bit apps. I alos installed gcc++ but don't find kernel-syms! Is that some rpm package or where can I find it? Thanks again!

K3B setup
by Clayton 09 Nov '05

09 Nov '05

I'm using the latest K3B (0.12.7) and have a setup/config question. I have partitioned my hard drive up into chunks. One large chuck is set aside for storage. I've got an iso in the storage area that I'd like to burn to DVD. If I point K3B at the DVD in the storage partition, I get an error in K3B that I can only use local files. Technically this is just as local as it would be if it was in my /home... in fact the only way I can get K3B to burn the iso is to move/copy the iso to my /home and burn it from there... then it works fine. So... how do I convince k3B that it really is OK to load and burn an iso that resides on a different partition? Is it actually possible? C.
