Point of information, please

There has recently been some scolding about hi-jacking a thread, one of the most recent being with a thread called Bridge software, which I have unfortunately already sent to Limbo. I didn't perceive any such hi-jacking in the thread, which apparently had one question and two or three responses, all relevant. So I am a bit confused. A related question is this: Is it concidered within the bound of Netiquette to send a threaded subject with, say, "SOLVED" at the end? How about a subject which I recently sent, where I added "--more" at the end, to distinguish it from a previous post that I had sent with the same subject. (The one with "--more" had further information.) This message was actually sent using the fwd command, i.e., suse-linux-e(a)suse.com 10:49 PM 2/2/2006 -0500 1 Fwd: Re: [SLE] OCR software--more and I never saw it on the list. I make no secret of reading and replying using Eudora Pro 4.0 in Windows-- I'm really happier with it than KMail, which is certainly usable, but I don't like the way it works. (Of necessity, I recently gave KMail about a week's trial.) In case that message never did get to the list, I will briefly reiterate: they seem to be looking at porting Omnipage to Linux, if there is enough interest. Or perhaps I misunderstand: perhaps what they really want is a Linux maven to port it for them. Anyway: www.nuance.com/omnipage/capturesdk/linux/ --doug -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

rsync procedural thing - OT?
by Bob S 07 Feb '06

07 Feb '06

Hello SuSE people, I know this has been discussed a thousand times already, and I have reviewed 60+ archived email messages, and looked at the man page a couple of times about this subject/procedure. I am still unsure. Here is my situation. Added a brand new 40 gig hard drive to the system. Plan to only format it to ext3 using Yast. Now I want to copy my entire SuSE 9.2 which is all on one partition with the exception of /swap, is presently on hda2, over to the new drive and let it reside there as an operating OS. The procedure would be to open a console as root, and then issue an rsync ( + unknown options) / /dev/hdb command, and if this is correct, which I really don't think it is, and then after copying cd into /etc/fstab and edit the / partition and the /swap partition. Then cd into /boot/grub/Menu1st and edit that also to make it bootable. Then what about /proc ? Does that get copied over? and should it be? I am only a basic CLI guy. If anyone has any better solutions I would like to hear them. Bob S

beta3 feedback?
by Per Jessen 07 Feb '06

07 Feb '06

Occasionally I'm a little confused wrt to responses I get in bugreports. Some support people appear to be primarily concerned with fixing my problem or helping me find a work-around, whereas I'm generally reporting problems as feedback on the beta-release(s). I was just today pointing out a regression of functionality in the rescue-system, which was more or less ignored. (https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=148290) In this particular case I'm not too bothered that the report is closed as WONTFIX, but I'm surprised that SUSE doesn't seem to be taking note of the regression. /Per Jessen, Zürich

Best way to start a daemon at powerup?
by Scott Stickeler 07 Feb '06

07 Feb '06

I am somewhat of a Linux newbie. I was wondering if someone could give me some advice on the best way to add a daemon I wish to start at powerup? I compiled these daemons myself and they are not part of the SuSE distribution so they have no scripts in init.d to handle them Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Scott

Hi, we working currently on the next stable release (v0.6.0) of KPowersave [1] for the upcoming SUSE 10.1 Final release.

See below for the current state of translation for all languages. All help to translate the files would be really appreciated. We also need help to translate the KPowersave handbook to more languages (currently only en,bg,hu and cs). For the current version of the handbook see [1] or [4]. Thanks for your help and let us know if you plan to translate something.

OCR software
by Ken Schneider 07 Feb '06

07 Feb '06

Anyone know of any OCR software that -actually- works? I've tried gocr and ocrad and neither one produces -any- readable output. One more quick question, does anyone know what the file .kturnedon refers to. Mine only has contents false. Thanks, Ken -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998
