wine version and itunes and ie6
by Peter Van Lone 03 May '06

SUSE 10 has wine version 20050725-3 I have been looking at winetools, and it looks like this script/install of MS office stuff does not list this version as being supported ... and it also looks like most versions using the 200XXX format (newer than the .9x versioning, apparently) are problematic for winetools. So, what is your experience doing this? Am I better off using the version that comes with SUSE and then figuring out how to install the MS office stuff on my own? Or, is it worth using winetools? Also ... has anyone setup ms office communicator under wine? Peter

In defense of the Brits, I just was looking at a 1969 brochure for a Ford car. In it was written, "powered by a 5 litre (302 c.i.d) engine." So there you have it - an American brochure spelling the word with the "e" at the end. Wrangling this post back on-topic, I'm curious if the OP was able to set his/her printer correctly. Now that we've determined the world is non- standard, I'm guessing the person should make sure the default paper size is set to whatever the locally accepted version is. -- kai

router security
by Steve Reilly 03 May '06

03 May '06

hi all, been searching around tonight for an answer to this question, but cant find anything about it on any engine or linuxquestions. i was installing10.1 on one of my boxes last night which has a wireless card, so it was down for most of the night. looking at the dhcp active table for my router i see an unfamilar name, "flight07", so i guess its quite obvious someone was using my router since last night. i guess the only reason this was allowed to happen was that the box i was installing on was off the network, and i limit the connections to the router at 4. (so there was one open) was curious to know how i could find out the ip address of the culprit? if its even possible? just got done setting up mac addresses of all my pcs so it doesnt happen again. .my curiosity has the better of me now and i want to open the router up , and see if it happens again so i can report it to my isp. any one have any experience like this? thanks.

link opensuse<->novell
by jdd 02 May '06

I strongly think that paid SUSE version (so Novell's) are complementary of open ones. That is they benefit one from the other. many open SUSE Linux users will never be Novell customers, but also many users need professional support (5-7 years support is quite much) opensuse will never even try to give. So I think we have to quote boxed versions at the same time as open sources ones (may be not as extensively :-), as we already do that is not to say we have to replace Novell in it's work of supporting it's products (no need). The difference between the two products lines is and may stay clear. However I'm discussing with Hartmut Meyer from Novell support team on the native language support. A small part of the Novell's web site is localized. A part, for example, is in french. An other part apologies from not being in french :-) but also a great part don't ever mind, and it's an important part http://www.novell.com/usersupport so Hartmut said: >It might be an idea (assuming that we would >have volunteers for it) to >create a summary of it on opensuse wiki >translated in whatever languages >people would volunteer for. But we would >need to point out that the >autoratitive place for information is still >www.novell.com (this has >legal implications). do you think we can build one or two pages to summarize Novell's paid customers (box buyers) help? with links to the Novell pages, of course. not a full translation (out of scope), but outlines of what customers can find there. jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://dodin.org/galerie_photo_web/expo/index.html http://lucien.dodin.net http://fr.susewiki.org/index.php?title=Gérer_ses_photos

Brits are about the last people to be talking about proper spelling (Chumley, indeed), and there's a different sound from "...ter" versus "...tre".

Mozilla Mail mail filter file?
by Hylton Conacher (ZR1HPC) 02 May '06

02 May '06

Running 9.2 I have used the GUI message filters substantially and currently have over 100 filters. Some of these filters uncheck themselves and so they are not run the next time a message that matches the filter criteria is received. I am assuming that the details I have entered via the GUI are stored in a text file and I would like to start editing that file directly. I have done some searching through ~/ I have not been able to locate a file that holds the filter information, even in ~/.mozilla. Is my assumption right that I can edit the filters in a text file and if so where/what is this this file called?
