KDE3.4-rc1 opinions?
by Jay Vollmer 03 Mar '05

03 Mar '05

Hi everybody. Has anyone on this list tried the new KDE RPMs available for SuSE9.2 available at: http://download.kde.org/download.php?url=unstable/3.4.0-rc1/SuSE/ If so, please post comments/opinions. I thought I might try the 'unstable' release candidate as it matches my personality. -- JAY VOLLMER JVOLLMER(a)CONSOLIDATEDLINT.COM TEXT REFS DOUBLEPLUSUNGOOD SELFTHINK VERGING CRIMETHINK IGNORE FULLWISE

build the tetex source rpm
by John Kelly 03 Mar '05

03 Mar '05

I need to build the tetex source rpm, but Source0 is nosource. The spec file contains a comment that Source0 is "extract" from Source3, whatever that is supposed to mean. Anyone who knows, please reply.

My server still gets to the net, other boxes don't. I'm using the standard suse firewall setup, with eth0 as internal and ppp0 as external. I'm using the same rules as with dialup (really no changes at all there). I did change the default gateway and it may be correct now, but doesn't make the difference. Thanks, Jim

Cyrus-IMAP-Web-cyradm on SuSE 9.2
by Andre Truter 03 Mar '05

03 Mar '05

Has anybody got Cyrus IMAP with web-cyradm running on SuSE 9.2? I am trying to set it up according to the web-cyradm HOWTO, but I cannot get the web interface to work. When I try to log in, it just jumps back to the login screen. It is as if the session jumps back in the middle of a PHP script, just as it tries to check the authentication. Any ideas?

Eclipse 3.0 on 9.2
by Cleary_Mike＠emc.com 02 Mar '05

02 Mar '05

I've never used eclipse before, so I thought I'd give it a try. When it opens to the Welcome page, none of the links on the Welcome page work. All I get is "AN exception occurred while launching help. Refer to the log for more details". First of all, I can't find the log. It isn't in /usr/share/eclipse, or /var/log. Any ideas where they stow their log? Has anyone else seen this problem before?

Re: [SLE] finding red-carpet
by Ryan McCain 02 Mar '05

02 Mar '05

That's not entirely true. This is from opencarpet.org: Note that this software is not an adequate replacement for Novell's ZENworks Linux Management product. If you are looking for an enterprise-quality management solution, Open Carpet is not for you. The target audience is third-party software distributors. --Ryan >>> Silviu Marin-Caea <silviu_marin-caea(a)genesys.ro> 3/2/2005 4:00:20 AM >>> On Tuesday 01 March 2005 22:23, Dennis J.

So, I must ask the people "here" : Where can one > find the latest red-carpet rpms for SuSE 9.2? Red Carped has been renamed to ZENworks Linux Management. Maybe that helps finding it. -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq(a)suse.com

It happened along with the DSL install, but I don't believe the two things are related. Jim
