changing suse window style in 9.3
by Gabor Istvan 01 Jun '05

01 Jun '05

Hello all: I've installed suse 9.3 and realized that it has a new suse window style (eg the window title bar is different). I preferred the look of the old suse style in 9.0 9.1 9.2. Is there any way to use that style in 9.3? TIA, IG

I installed those four files. When I run the above command, I get an error: "thinkpad:/usr/src/packages/RPMS/i586 # rpm -Uhv libglademm* error: File not found by glob: libglademm*" I get several errors, when running the rpmbuild command and still when I try to run configure for wificonfig, I get: "checking for libglademm-2.4 gtkmm-2.4 gthread-2.0 libxml-2.0... Package gtkmm-2.4 was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gtkmm-2.4.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable Package 'gtkmm-2.4', required by 'libglademm', not found configure: error: Library requirements (libglademm-2.4 gtkmm-2.4 gthread-2.0 libxml-2.0) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them."

Anyone know how to create a socket? Running milter-amavisd which is expecting a socket file in /var/run/amavis and the dir is empty. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge

I changed the mouse, ...
by Ronald Wiplinger 01 Jun '05

I had a mechanical mouse with a ball and replaced it with a Logitech Value Optical Mouse on a SuSE 9.2 pro system. As expected, the mouse is not to use now. It is jumping around and open windows as it wishes. How can I fix that? bye Ronald

Kmail 'select To' frustration
by JB 01 Jun '05

01 Jun '05

Hiya gang, Using SuSE 9.3's Kmail, when I want to compose a new email, and click the 'select' button for the 'To' line, it brings up a list of addresses to pick from window. Most are the addresses I have in my addressbook because they're the ones I put there, but there are others that are there that I don't want in there, but I cannot for the life of me get rid of the darn things. They aren't in kabc, nor in my addressbook if I bring it up. Where are these things being stored? Why can't I right-click on them and delete them? Any clues to fix this little niggling problem greatly appreciated. PS Got my 67 year old mom using 9.3 now too, and she uses it 100% of the time, she doesn't boot into her windows partition ever anymore, but this Kmail thing is bothering her also, a lot more than it's bothering me, heh.

Hello, Can someone point me to the "vga=???" numerical specs for changing the screen resolution in lilo.conf. Currently "vga=794" (1024x768?)is blurry. I am looking for the numerical list and the corresponding resolutions. Thank you in advance, ~James
