feature-request: Voting in Bugzilla
by Alexey Eremenko 03 Dec '05

03 Dec '05

Hi all! The current openSUSE project's bugzilla has 1 serious drawback - no voting system. Some problems might seems to be "small" by the development community, but turn out as serious issues for users. For this reason I ask you, the openSUSE project leaders to add a voting system to openSUSE bugzilla, like in Mandriva, where users can vote for problems/ bugs/feature-requests, that must be solved first.. A *Community* project needs this effective way to *communicate* with its users. -Alexey Eremenko. 20.nov.2005.

Code page of SuSE 9.2

Hello suse-linux-e! I would like to set correct german character set setting, but I won't like to have complete german enviroment. Now I have english as default (this is OK for me) and I have two keyboards (Slovak and German). But sometimes I forgot to my charset and I copy some source codes using KEdit which contain german special characters and that is always converted to strange form. All german special charaters are missing. What will be correct to have english enviroment with three keyboards (English, Slovak, German)? Thanks to all. -- Best regards, TRoland http://www.rotursoft.sk http://exekutor.rotursoft.sk

Personally I don't use POP mail any more but when I did last I used either Pegasus on the Win tin or KMail on the Linux tin. Both are equally good (excellent) e-mail clients both far, far in excess in terms of useability etc than the PC newcomers first stop of Outlook Express. Sorry, I just do not understand what the authors of this report are talking about.

Re: [SLE] Making DVD
by Joseph Loo 03 Dec '05

Well I just got a small box of DVD-R. I tried it as root and it worked without a problem. I suspect that thestandard user should be able to write with no problem. I did notice one thing, it went into the DAO write mode on my system. I then tried the DVD+R. Again I have some coasters.

by Andrew Diederich 03 Dec '05

03 Dec '05

I just installed the eval SuSE 10.0 DVD, but the only postgresql*rpm it has is postgresql-libs. Are there RPMs available for the server and client? I try to use rpms as much as possible when the distro provides them, but it may be I need to go and install this one from source. -- Andrew Diederich

To compile 64 bit?
by B. Stia 03 Dec '05

03 Dec '05

Hello SuSE people. Question: Am running an AMD 64 processor. There are still not all programs that are 64 bit. I know that the system will handle 32 bit stuff but I was wondering if an src file can be compiled to 64 bit. Ex: Tonight I went to download smart at Guru's site. There were no 64 bit versions, only i686 and src's. I hesitated to download either because I didn't know if either of them would work without problems. Bob S..

Mysterious cron problem with Suse 9.3
by Eric E 03 Dec '05

03 Dec '05

Hi all, I'm running Suse Linux 9.3, and I'm having problems with cron not actually running cron jobs. I suspect this is the kind of profile issue that commonly happens with cron jobs, but I don't have any idea how to debug it. For example, if as root, I run crontab -e and enter the following very simple cron job: 22 12 * * * /usr/bin/touch /root/hello.root In /var/log/messages, I have the following output: Dec 2 12:21:23 hypervisor1 crontab[7015]: (root) BEGIN EDIT (root) Dec 2 12:21:25 hypervisor1 crontab[7015]: (root) REPLACE (root) Dec 2 12:21:25 hypervisor1 crontab[7015]: (root) END EDIT (root) Dec 2 12:22:01 hypervisor1 /usr/sbin/cron[6536]: (root) RELOAD (tabs/root) so it sure seems like cron is waking up, finding the job, and then going back to sleep. However, the file that should be touch-ed is not there, and there are no error messages, either in /var/log/messages or as an email. Can anyone give me advice on how to debug this problem, or why cron does not appear to be actually running the job? Thanks, Eric
