by MindBender 15 May '05

15 May '05

Hello all, Prior to installing SuSE 9.3 I saved the Mail directory and after the installation I resored the the Mail directory so I keep all my previous e-mail. Now when I start Kmail all the mail directory are there in Kmail and the mail also but I can no longer read those mail. They are shown in Kmail with the correct subject but when I click to open the mail..the Subject is change for 'No Subject' and a new window mail is open but no mail is shown. if I use Konqueror to browse the the mail directory and click on a mail I can open it with no problem. Can anybody help me to how do I now setup Kmail to read my old mail correctly.. Thanks for the help Yahoo! Mail Stay connected, organized, and protected. Take the tour: http://tour.mail.yahoo.com/mailtour.html

Hi, I have SuSE 9.1 and I would like ot use certain kernel of the day kernels. I would like to build kernel rpms from source (as the ones that are built already are built with a different version of gcc than the one that comes with SuSE 9.1). Does anyone have a how-to about how to do this? thanks, -- Osho

Hi, I am using KMail. When I get junk mail I usually just bounce it and never hear back. But today when I bounced a "give me your money" email it just sat in the outbox and blocked the queue. Nothing would go past it. It was from azeezabdul2005(a)netscape.net When I trashed it the queue moved. Any ideas? Regards, Colin

Sound on Gateway 3522GZ
by Sean O'Dell 15 May '05

15 May '05

Hi all, I'm new to the mailing list and have a short list of problems getting SuSE 9.3 working 100% on my Gateway 3522GZ notebook. I'll just ask one thing at a time and maybe someone can help. If not, oh well. For the most part 9.3 has been fantastic; I didn't expect so much to just work like it has. Just a few lingering problems. Sound The built-in sound card was detected, and I get no errors at all. Everything seems fine; apps seem to be able to use the sound device, I can fiddle with KMix, etc. My speakers, however, are silent. (headphones too) Sound worked just hours before I installed SuSE 9.3 when the notebook still had Windows XP on it. I've made sure ALL mutes are off (they already were) and both of the two hardware mutes (at the volume control and the keyboard) are off. lspci reports: 0000:00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 03) lsmod reports that what I think is the right driver is loaded: snd_intel8x0 31808 5 Just no sound coming out of the thingy. Any ideas? Sean O'Dell

MySQL Noob Question
by Bob Rea 14 May '05

14 May '05

I have installed 9.3, and I would like to learn something about mysql again. I looked at it a while back. How does one log on to the server? Is there a default user and password set? Last time I used it, I used user root and the root password. -- Bob Rea mailto:gapetard@stsams.org http://www.petard.us http://www.petard.us/blog http://www.petard.us/gallery Freedom is only privilege extended unless enjoyed by one and all --Billy Bragg

I've read about something in 9.3 called a "Multimedia Pack". Is there one for 9.2? What does it do?

SCPM woes after 9.2 to 9.3 upgrade
by Phil Feller 14 May '05

14 May '05

After upgrading from 9.2 to 9.3, I noticed that doing /sbin/scpm switch <profile name> starting asking me whether I wanted to save changes to the profile when I knew that there hadn't been any changes. I also noticed that the configurations for the profile that I was switching into wouldn't be correct. I looked into the SCPM database and see that, for example, it has /var/lib/scpm/profiles/home/file/_etc_sysconfig_network_ifcfg-wlan0.1 as one of the files for the network resource group for my home profile. Looking in /var/lib/scpm/profiles/home/file, I see that _etc_sysconfig_network_ifcfg-wlan0 is the file that I want to have used and _etc_sysconfig_network_ifcfg-wlan0.1, dated-stamped May 1 (the last time that I switched out of this profile prior to the upgrade). I have tried doing /sbin/scpm save to save the correct configuration information, but it hasn't worked. I'm wondering whether: 1) there is a way to reinitialized the SCPM database and start over (my profiles are few and not too complicated), or 2) hand edit the SCPM database to point to the correct resource files. It's tempting to try /sbin/scpm disable; rm -rf /var/lib/scpm/*/*, and just start over, but I don't want to mess anything up. Phil Feller

9.3 and now kavi2svcd is broke
by Paul Cartwright 14 May '05

14 May '05

I'm not sure what happened, but kavi2svcd stopped working. I have SUSE9.3 and kavi2svcd 0.8.4-1 Now when I run it, the dialog window comes up, I select an AVI file to convert, and the window crashes. I am sooo tired of reinstalling apps to make 9.3 work! I know it was working in 9.3 but I have no idea why it stopped working. -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800 X-Request-PGP: http://home.comcast.net/~p.cartwright/wsb/key.asc
