RE: [SLE] Block Ads from Gmail and Google

But that's on the Google site itself. I don't use gmail. I'm in some lists that run on Yahoo-Groups, which includes adds in every message, but I never click those either. Mostly that's because I've never seen an ad for anthing that interests me. Yahoo must screen their advertisers: "You have something to sell that might interest Kevin? Sorry. We can't accept your ad." :-) The ads that Google puts up on the right-hand frame when you run a search -- I've found that the first one occasionally bears some resemblance to what I'm looking for, the second is marginal, and the third is always fiendishly, stupidly unrelated (porn or something). So they get no click from me. Google still gets paid by eBay and Amazon and the other advertisers for the space and exposure, whether ads are clicked or not.

Radeon X600?
by Dave Howorth 18 Aug '05

18 Aug '05

Does anybody have a Radeon X600 working with Suse 9.3? We have a Sapphire 256MB X600 Proc PCI-e card and can't persuade X to start properly. We just see a black screen after starting X. sax2 also shows the same symptoms, displaying a black screen after startup. Running yast in text mode and trying Hardware/Graphics gives a correct listing of the card, but trying to select the Change option doesn't work. Thanks, Dave

Curiousity Question about List
by Scott Leighton 18 Aug '05

18 Aug '05

This may be considered OT, but I visited the list's archive and noticed the ton of spam posts there and am curious as to why they make it into the archive. I never see those posts arrive here, so my basic assumption is that the spam filtering for the list works pretty well. If that's true, then why doesn't it stop them from hitting the archive?

Any ideas on VMware VMXnet?
by Anders Norrbring 18 Aug '05

18 Aug '05

I've been running a VMware virtual machine with SuSE 9.3 and using the vlance network driver. Now I want to swap that for the vmxnet driver, but no matter what I try, the rcnetwork complaints that it can't find a config for eth0. The driver is loaded, it's verified with lsmod. -- Anders Norrbring Norrbring Consulting

I wanted to find a way to block these text ads very long time ago, but I just find out the solution. Do you mean that if we all use this extension then Google is going to charge us for the Gmail? I own my PC and I decide what to be downloaded and put on my screem. If Gmail is going to be not free, I will switch to some others. > > > > Dotan Cohen > > http://lyricslist.com/lyrics/artist_albums/425/red_hot_chili_peppers.php > > Red Hot Chili Peppers Song Lyrics > > >

Upgrade suse 9.2 > 9.3
by Matthias Titeux 18 Aug '05

18 Aug '05

Hi ! Sometimes ago, I did a clean install using the ftp DVD iso. The system is a x86_64 (AMD Athlon 64). Everything went smoothly. Recently, I updated KDE to the last version (KDE 3.4.2 i think) with YOU. In the same time I have downloaded the DVD iso of SuSE 9.3 on a SuSE mirror. I burned the DVD, and I changed the install source in YaST. When I wanted to upgrade, several packages gave dependencies problems. Some was minor (I can delete Mplayer, and install it again later...) but some are more important : GCC, hwinfo 10.16-3.1a nd a lot of packages related to Yast2.... I had also other packages causing troubles, but once I deleted GCC-locale (I can live without it), ncurses-devel (I can probably install it later), torcs (a game...) the only problematic packages were the Yast2 related ones. I didn't dare to upgrade. BTW, I know that a clean install is preferable, but (and maybe here is the culprit), whenever I boot the computer with the 9.3 DVD (burned with K3b out from the downloaded ISO), the computer don't boot on the DVD. So i am unable to do a clean install over the 9.2 system. Is anyone have any idea ?
