> rm /etc/adjtime Now I waited and checked several days and reboots, befor writing a new euphoric success message. It works. The /etc/adjtime is recreated after reboot, with a little bit different contents. But the system shows the correct time since I deleted the file ones. Thanks Carlos, regards Alois

Printer Epson C64 and libgimprint 4.2
by Flextron 19 Dec '05

19 Dec '05

Hi, I have an epson c64 using suse 10.0. The printer works fine in the standard mode but fails to work if I change the printout mode (quality) to draft (economy). This is a known problem ( see http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=13074742 ). Although the printer works, most of the time is unusable because of the time needed to print a page and the ink spent in each page. I'm trying to fix this by myself but I can't find the gutenprint package (libgimprint 5.0) even in the unstable 10.1 directory in opensuse.org. So my question is: ¿Does anyone know how can I install the new gutenprint package (libgimprint 5.0) in suse? Thanks! -- Flextron - Linux user: 306877 -- GPG keyID: 0xE0EA0B24 --

Upgrading to kde 3.5
by ken 19 Dec '05

I'm new to suse and would like to upgrade to kde 3.5 via online update (or whatever). I think what I need are instructions on how to decide between YaST2 and YOU, how they compare to URPMI and where to look for the packages. Also, where are the online repositories located? Thanks in advance, Ken.

Ipod 30GB +gtkpod +SUSE 10.0
by Art Fore 19 Dec '05

19 Dec '05

I purchased an Ipod for my wife's birthday today and tried to get it to work with gtkpod. Since there were no files on it, I ended up setting it up with Windows which worked and I installed some music on it both from itunes and a cdrom. I then tried again with gtkpod 0.99.2 and libgpod 0.3.0. I can connect to the ipod mounted at /media/ipod, but cannot import anything. If I go to files, I can see the directories under /media/ipod, but if I click on one of the directories, I get the followingerror: The following track could not be processed (filetype unknown): '/media/ipod/iPod_Control/iTunes/iTunesControl' I can open these directories in Konqueror and go to /media/ipod/iPod_Control/iTunes/iTunesControl/Music/f00 and click on the .m4a which opens and plays in RealPlayer or and .mp3 which will open in amarok and plays. Looks to me like gtkpod is not recognizing the file type. The ipod was purchased today and is for both PC & MAC. The Ipod is automatically mounted by Suse at the mount point and it is USB 2.0. Any suggestions on getting this to work? Thanks in advance. Art

Configuring Samba to communicate with a WinXP computer.
by John Boyle 19 Dec '05

19 Dec '05

I have Samba installed on a SuSe 9.2 Pro computer, and a router and a WinXP box, but so far they are NOT communicating with one another. What is the next step in configuring either Samba or the file sharing to accomplish the communicating??? :-)

ATI Drivers and SuSE 10
by William H Lugg 19 Dec '05

19 Dec '05

Well, I just updated my 64-bit machine to SuSE 10. Wow, it couldn't have been easier! Except... I'm having trouble finding my way to the tools necessary to get the 3D video driver working for my ATI Radeon 9550 video card. The release notes when I did the upgrade indicated that I could use YOU, but I'm not seeing how that works. Alternatively, it seems like I should be able to point YaST to a site that has SuSE rpms for the driver. Where should I go to get the file(s) I need to get this beastie to working? Thanks. -- Bill Lugg Milstar Software Support Peterson AFB, CO

My Computer
by John Graddy 18 Dec '05

18 Dec '05

I have recently installed version 10 of SuSE LINUX. I am trying to compare GNOME and KDE to see which I would prefer. When I click the "My Computer" icon under KDE, nothing happens. Clicking the "Computer" icon under GNOME gives the normal display of all of my disk devices. I can find no error messages after trying "My Computer". Has anyone had this problem? John
