Konsole tabs
by David A. Parker 04 Feb '06

04 Feb '06

Hello, This may seem a silly question, but is there a keyboard shortcut to open a new tab in Konsole? I have rifled through the Konsole help and preferences, as well as the KDE preferences, but I haven't found one. I used Gnome for several years before switching to KDE a few months ago, and in the Gnome terminal, SHIFT-CTRL-T will open a new tab. It would be great if I could use the keyboard to do this in Konsole, too. Thanks in advance for any answers you may have. - Dave -- Dave Parker Utica College Department of Integrated Information Technology Services Data Processing Office (315) 792-3229 Registered Linux User #408177

printer - gdi
by Serge Naggar 04 Feb '06

04 Feb '06

I use suse 10 and have a Samsung ml1740 - a gdi printer which does not [yet, I hope] have the appropriate gdi driver. Until a 1740 driver is available I am trying to use the ml1710 driver. It works except for a very peculiar problem. The print job shows it is `processing' - for ever - then I close. The job gets printed when the system boots again? I have tried the job with other gdi drivers [ml-1000; ml 4500] with the same results. Can anybody explain the problem and offer a solution? thanks -- Cheers, Serge

Spam
by Peter Collier 04 Feb '06

04 Feb '06

I'm getting hammered by a lot of emails which have different subject lines and a different sender. Kmail displays it in plain text, does not say that it is a html message which can be viewed if you click here but there is html view available if scroll down to the description box, below the email. Clamav does not pick any virus. Spamassassin and bogofilter although set to learn, do not pick them up. (All uptodate). The message of the email starts with something on the lines of: "ListPrice: $550.00 OurPrice: $69.95 YouSave: $480.05 ( 87%) Availability: Available for INSTANT download!" followed by several references to microsoft type products, no links, so I assume you contact the sender (which suggests the email address is valid and not one from a compromised machine). I'm running suse 10.0 OSS on a standalone machine. Using Kmail. (Direct access via kmail to pop and stmp from my isp). Do I set a filter on body or message, containing the listprice etc quote from above, to mark as spam? Or could that compromise some valid emails where I have requested details on say holidays etc from somewhere else? Peter C

pine issue
by vince＠complex.elte.hu 04 Feb '06

04 Feb '06

hi, I would like to divert different emails to different folders in Pine. For example, emails with subject pattern [SLE] to SLE_FORUM folder, emails with [YUAM] to YUAM_Forum folder and so on. I figured out that in SETUP>Rules>Filters I can define this task adjusting parameters as follows: Subject Patern: [SLE] Filter Action: Move to Folder List SLE_Forum How to tell Pine to divert emails with [YUAM] subject pattern to YUAM_Forum folder and other subject patterns to coresponding folders? Thanks, Oliver

Hello, until Suse 10.0 lirc was contained in the kernel. But the current Betas don't contain any LIRC. Why? Thank you, Dirk

Session management error
by Brian Green 03 Feb '06

03 Feb '06

Hi New to Linux: SuSE 10.0, GNOME 2.12.2, Kernel 2.6.13, single user 32bit desktop Ran a System Update (after installing SynCE rpm as part of a project to sync Thunderbird/Sunbird with my iPAQ) and now, on boot, "gnome-volume-manager" always quits unexpectedly. Similarly, I now cannot run several routines from the desktop that require root privilege e.g. yast or many in GNOME control centre. I can run, and have run, yast2 as su in a terminal even though I get a "Session management error: ...". If I try to log in as root I get: 'Xlib ":0.0" refused by server ... ' (and then the dreaded) 'Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key' message [Note: this is an improvement, for at least now the system will not allow me log in as any user when using the root password ... (which it did until now)] I've Googled "MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1" but a workable solution eludes me ... Can anbody help me with a fix for this problem (... other than a complete rebuild)? Thanks Brian

Possible bug in Java1.5 and KDE3.5... only on SUSE
by Clayton 03 Feb '06

03 Feb '06

I think I've stumbled on a possible bug either in SUSE's implementation of KDE3.5 and Java 1.5, or only in Java 1.5... I'm not sure which is the culprit here. I have a Java application I use every day for my work - oXygenXML. I started noticing a problem where if a child window/dialog was shaded, it wouldn't unshade. With some help of the application developers at oXygen, it was traced down to this... If you have a Java application that creates a frame and a dialog with the frame as a parent, and you open the dialog and execute a shade-close-unshade on the dialog title bar, the window content is painted grey - the contents are not repainted. The only way to get rid of the broken dialog is to restart the application. This is only a problem when I use Java 1.5. The same application running on a Java 1.4 VM is fine. It was tested on SUSE 10.0 with KDE 3.5 and on Fedora. This problem with the shade only happens in SUSE - not on Fedora. So... any thoughts on this? Is it something in SUN's Java 1.5 (and subsequently should be put into SUN's Java Bugzilla) or something to do with SUSE 10.0 (and a candidate for the OpenSUSE Bugzilla)? C.

Hey Meissner :)

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Just tried out the lastest Wine rpm and it's a keeper so far. As you may be aware I have spent a bit of time with wine as and end-user and have written the Unofficial SuSE FAQ for wine and have been involved in a 3 year contributory (as in fee = $5.00/month) with Transgaming. Frankly I have found that the old fashioned wine runs games as well in most cases than WineX/Cedega (and I'm no longer sending Transgaming any money/support) and in some cases better than WineX/Cedega. One of the most difficult games to get running is HomeWorld. Previously if I could get it to work it was very slow and virtually unplayable. With the 0.9.7 version (the stock 10.0 OSS offering had kbd problems) works very very well. The game is very playable and so far no glitches or problems (other than having to be in the Homeworld parent directory to run the exe (e.g. .wine/drive_c/Sierra/HomeWorld/homeworld.exe, otherwise it complains it can't open the "homeworld.big" file). Graphics and Sound work very well. Now the next trick is to get the game "Thief" working - this game has always worked but wouldn't play the cut scenes due problems with a necessary proprietary codec included and installed with the game. If this works I would say that some major hurtles have been overcome. Also, I will be testing various other more recent games and a few apps. If this trend continues I will "finally" be able to say BYE BYE to Windows - since the only real reason I use it is for games and a few (very few) apps. I commend you and the wine devs for their work. It makes me very hopeful that this will further help people escape the bug ridden license hell that is M$. Please send my warmest regards and compliments to the Wine team. Sincerely, Curtis Rey P.S. If this goes as well as I suspect it may I will have to re-write the Wine FAQ due to the changes in the Wine system. Oh well. :) - -- Spammers Beware: Tresspassers will be shot, survivors will be shot again!
