Can't write to temporary download target directory
by Martin Deppe 05 Jun '05

05 Jun '05

Hi, is there anybody who can tell me where in konquorer I can change the default temporary download directory? When I f.e. go onto "http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/3608958177/028-8254727-6130121" and click onto the link called "Größeres Bild" which referes to "http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P/3608958177.03.LZZZZZZZ.jpg" I get the following error: Access denied Could not write to /backup/SuSE-9.3/3608958177.03.LZZZZZZZ.jpg I really don't know how this became the default directory for downloading temporary files, but where can I change it again? Thanks in advance Martin

Grub problem on install reboot
by Tim Nicholson 05 Jun '05

05 Jun '05

A colleague who is trying to install suse 9 on his system has hit a curious problem. On the first reboot at the end of the main part of the install, instead of carrying on and finishing those configuration parts of the install that need the main system running, upon reboot the system hangs with a "grub>" prompt. I have looked at his / partition and can see nothing obviously wrong, it has a proper "/boot/grub/menu.1st" file etc, but it occurs to me that on this first boot things happen differently to normal in that (ISTR) it drops straight into configuring the system (network, printers, users, etc) so it would appear that grub is not getting the correct script to boot into this mode, nor is it using the menu.1st. Can anyone provide any pointers as to what might be going wrong here? -- Tim Nicholson http://www.bbc.co.uk/ This e-mail (and any attachments) is confidential and may contain personal views which are not the views of the BBC unless specifically stated.

Re: [SLE] Groupwise client slow on SuSE 9.1
by Stephen Carter 05 Jun '05

05 Jun '05

I found the only machines it performs well on are those with lots of RAM, typically with 512 Mb or more. I think it's because the client is a java application so it takes a while to get going. Just my opinion. SteveC >>>mmarseglia <mmarseglia(a)gmail.com> 06/05/05 12:42 am >>> Hi, I'm running the linux Groupwise client on SuSE 9.1 and find that it's -really- slow.

Qcad howto ?
by Kaare Rasmussen 05 Jun '05

05 Jun '05

Hi Anyone here using qcad ? As one who'd never done any serious cad work, I'm looking for a howto - or best practice description - for getting started drawing a building with qcad. E.g. will I begin with the whole ground as the first layer, draw the outer walls of the building as the next, or is there a better approach? I hope that someone can point me to some introduction material for this kind of qcad use. Thanks in advance

Hum? :-o > this guy have some points about the issue: > > http://www.jwz.org/doc/mailman.html Ah. I see the point. But I don't refer to a login/password at the configuration web page, but for every single post sent... like smtp auth. What we need is something impeding "Joe Bad Person" from posting as "Carlos R", and then having "Joe Innocent Bystander" thinking that "Carlos R" is insulting him. And... the link above refers to mailmans configuration http page being a pain. I don't know, but one of the auxiliary lists we had to create while shunning the official SuSE list in haste is using mailman precisely. I find it has nice features. On the other hand, the method used by "ezmlm" of confirmation emails can be broken as well, I think. Consider this scenario: - "A" posts an email posing as "B" to the list. "A" can be a virus. - The list (C) send a confirmation email to "B". - It happens that "B" is the help desk entry point of some business, and it has an autoresponder, which duly autoresponds to the list server (C) saying that their query will be answered as promptly as possible. - The list server (C) thinks that "B" has confirmed his subscription, and starts sending list email to "him". - Finally, we listers start getting "bounces" from "B" every time we email the list, saying that "our" query will be answered promptly. I believe this has already happened here, because I have received such bounces. But I can not confirm it. On the other hand... the initial login page to google groups, for instance, requires the user copying a text shown in a distorted image. There must be something in that idea. - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFCoKcPtTMYHG2NR9URAp9xAJ47E6qhYwP4hNfXDBufzo+IcJyriwCgipop aYByqytV1RDDG1s4VvqhTQQ= =8KtJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
