Re: Report of SuSE 9.3 siting mentioned on earlier post is bogus
by Thomas Beasley 10 Mar '05

10 Mar '05

Hi all, When the earlier post reporting 9.3's release today appeared in my inbox, I fired off a copy of the URL to a friend of mine who works for Novell in the SuSE/Ximian department. His reply was, "No, SUSE LINUX 9.3 is not being released today. Don't know where they got that information." Since SuSE is on a six month cycle of updates, the earlier report of 9.3's release is a month early - October + 6 months = April. Maybe ZDNet decided to move the calendar ahead to April 1 in their article. -Tom -- Thomas E.

Problem with YOU
by Greg Wallace 10 Mar '05

10 Mar '05

I have been trying to use YOU to check for the latest updates since yesterday afternoon. I keep getting - ERROR Initialization failed. Try again. If failure continues, choose another SuSE FTP /HTTP Server. My "Choice of installation source" shows 7 different FTP sites. I tried all of them, both yesterday and today, and get that same error across the board. I used YOU last week and did not have any problems. I have gotten this error in the past and was able to simply try other sites until I hit one that worked. This usually only required one or two retries. It seems strange that every single site would fail for me for two days in a row. Anyone else experiencing this problem? I'm running 8.1, if that makes any difference. Thanks, Greg Wallace

Problem switching to qmail.
by ReymanX 10 Mar '05

10 Mar '05

Hi All, I have installed qmail + vpopmail + spamassassin and stuff and before that I have removed postfix. Qmail working perfectly, but whenever I run yast and try to install something, It keep says about dependencies of smtp_daemon. Then problem also happend when I'm using apt-get install somthing. I try to remove some depencencies like mailman fetchmail mailx but I came to problem that cron still meed smtp_daemon, and cron is something that I really need so I can't remove it. How can I fix this problem ? How can I still run qmail instead of postfix with no errors of dependencies. regards, -- Arie Reynaldi Zanahar reymanx at gmail.com http://www.reynaldi.or.id

Re: [SLE] How do I update Apache2

Where exactly in the ftp server did you see it? > > ftp://ftp.suse.org/pub/projects/apache/apache2/9.1-i386/ Ah, that is important, because it clarifies that the update is in fact intended for 9.1 - although unsupported (not officially supported, that is). I don't know what the problem could be, because I haven't tried, and because I don't have enough clues yet to make a guess. I would try using rpm directly for the upgrade, and see the exact error message it gives. But try initiating a new thread - ie, post using the "new email" button of your mailer, not by replying to an old email and changing the subject - and give those details we have by now, and the new ones. -- Saludos Carlos Robinson

Why: "There was no update executed to now."
by Andy Yankovich 10 Mar '05

10 Mar '05

A few days ago I intentionally wiped out my Suse Pro 9.2 and reinstalled from scratch. All went well except I apparently cannot get updates to take hold. Using YOU, I keep getting the same updates to install. Why is this? Before deleting and reinstalling Suse Pro 9.2 I had KDE 3.3.3x running at level a (or something like that). Obviously I have been using Linux only one month. But I was willing to experiment doing different things knowing I would screw up my system and would have to reinstall. Now that I want to keep my system trim and working well, I can't get updates to take and can't get the kernel back to running at 'level a'. Any suggestions or ideas? Thanks much guys. Andy

User Groups/Associations

I am trying to find a usergroup in or near the Louisville, KY area. I did find one one the linux.org website but when I sent an email to the contact name, I did not get a response. This leads me to beleive that goup is no longer active. I am also wondering if there are Network/Sys Admin associations the anyone is part of?

Wine and IE
by Fred 10 Mar '05

10 Mar '05

Hello, I'm learning CSS2 and I want to use Quanta+ chipped with my Suse 9.2 to code it. But when time comes to do some compatibility testing, I'd need to test my site with IE... So instead of always rebooting and switch to WinXP (and I don't have money to buy VMWare...), I'd like to install Internet Explorer with Wine. I tried several method : http://frankscorner.org/index.php?p=ie6 http://patrick.spacesurfer.com/ie_wine_install.html but IE always crashed before being usable. Is there someone that has been able to do it ? Is there webdeveloppers around ? :-) Thanks, Fred
