location of Konqueror config
by Colin Carter 28 May '05

28 May '05

Hi, I am having a very frustrating time with Linux kde/Konqueror/KHTML. I tried to edit an html file and the system accidently changed the file association for html files. Now I cannot view html files from Konqueror, which makes the internet rather difficult. I renamed the .kde directory and rebooted, and yep Konqueror now opens html files, but not my email. To run my email I have to log in as root, rename my .kde directory, switch to myself, run kmail, switch back to root, and rename my directory. More than enough frustration.... Obviously it is one of the files within the .kde directory, but which one? Diff gives me a large number of pages of differences, but I cannot spot the problem. I really don't understand why programmers have to "hide" their configuration bits, nor why they disperse such bits. Any idea where the relevant documentation is? Thanks for any suggestions, Colin

KDE Help Center (susehelp index)
by Steven T. Hatton 28 May '05

28 May '05

I'm running KDE 3.4.0b built by SuSE. I've been trying to get the search index in the KDE Help Center to work for susehelp. No matter if I try to run it as a normal user, or as root, it will not let me build the index database. There _is_ an index database at /var/cache/susehelp/. AAMOF, there are several index dbs there. This is the default location KDE Help Center points to when its run in the SuSE distribution. I really don't understand why the SuSE Help tools have consistently been broken. They are very nice tools, when they work. Does anybody know how to get this to work? -- Regards, Steven

RE: [SLE] remastering suse 9.3 DVD
by Steve Kratz 28 May '05

28 May '05

> Who's got the exact way to remaster the R9 DVD to R5 ? > > Thank you. > > ps : i did have the 9.2 version script ... My web server officially became an Ubuntu 5.04 server this past week because of SuSE's silly dual-layer DVDs. The webserver's a tiny 1U rackmount, and has a laptop DVD drive in it. Of course, it's one of the ones that won't read DL discs. Call it my protest, but after 9.2 and 9.3 leaving a bad taste in my mouth (and broken KDM after updates, and a variety of other things that should have been QC'd beforehand), I'm checking around to others...

U.K.-based Web security firm Netcraft on Wednesday released a Firefox version of the anti-phishing toolbar that's been available for Microsoft's Internet Explorer since December 2004. The toolbar, which installs as a Firefox extension, or plug-in, automatically blocks suspected phishing sites identified by other users and verified by Netcraft. The company's database of Web site information is also used to display several attributes of any visited site, including its country location, longevity, and popularity.

sendmail: "wrong" error message ("user unknown ")
by r01＠gmx.ch 28 May '05

28 May '05

Hi Until a few days ago, sendmail was working fine. But now - each time I try to send an e-mail, I get the following error message: > sendmail -q -v Running /var/spool/mqueue/j4RIjQq03709 (sequence 1 of 1) <existing.address(a)gmx.ch>... Connecting to mail.messaging.ch. via esmtp... 220 mail.messaging.ch ESMTP server ready >>> EHLO linux.mydomain.ch 250-mail.messaging.ch hello [195.15.131.95], pleased to meet you 250-HELP 250 OK >>> MAIL From:<mail(a)mydomain.ch> 250 <mail(a)mydomain.ch> ... sender ok >>> RCPT To:<existing.address(a)gmx.ch> 550 <existing.address(a)gmx.ch> ... recipient rejected <existing.address(a)gmx.ch>... User unknown >>> RSET 250 OK The strange thing is the "User unknown" message. The recipient definitely exists. [On the other hand, downloading e-mails works fine.] I guess there is some option in a sendmail configuration file, which is not set correctly? I would be greatful for any hint to solve this problem Roger -- Weitersagen: GMX DSL-Flatrates mit Tempo-Garantie! Ab 4,99 Euro/Monat: http://www.gmx.net/de/go/dsl
