10.1 NetworkManager keeps prompting for Gnome Keyring password on wireless
by Stephen Carter 22 May '06

22 May '06

I've got NetworkManager working for both Eth0 and wlan0 (using ndiswrapper) and want wireless to connect at boot time, on my Acer Ferrari 4006 laptop. I've set SuSE to autologon with my user account, and used NetworkManager to configure my wireless network. Whenever SUSE 10.1 boots into my Gnome desktop I get a popup for the keyring password. When I type that in, it connects fine, but I have checked that nmapplet is correctly set to always be allowed access to that passcode. I've set both interfaces to 'user controlled' and eth0 to be manually controlled (i.e. never used unless I tell it to). Is there any way to let NetWorkManager be used to automatically connect to my wireless without having to enter this password?

Email Clients
by Allen 22 May '06

22 May '06

Hey list, This is more or less out of curiousity, and for my own knowledge. I'm looking at the bunch of mail clients available over other OSs. Right now I'm mostly a Mutt user even though this is being sent from Balsa because I'm giving that a shot too. the question is, if everyone was to make say a top 5 favorite email clients, no matter what OS, what would they be? Here are the ones I love: #1. Mutt #2. Novell / Ximian Evolution #3. Kmail #4. Balsa #5. Pine I do like Sylpheed / Sylpheed claws. I didn't list any Windows clients... Mainly because I can't stand the choices, as Windows has some of the worst mail clients to ever be made... And I didn't list Apple / Mac OS clients because I don't have a Mac, and don't have Mac OS and can't use them. Although I would like to buy a Mac sometime soon even if it was only to have a box to use Mac OS X on as I'd love to mess with it. I also liked BeMail from BeOS. It was a nice little client that was easy and simple. Reading headers on this list it seems a lot of people use Kmail and the firefox / Thunderbird suit. Some even use outlook and pine and a few use Novell stuff. And of course a few Mutt users. So anyway, I'm hoping some people will reply, and let me knwo what they use and what they have used. If anyone here has a Mac PLEASE reply, I'm really hoping some people can tell me something about their clients. I've looked it over on the Apple web site and it looked neat bt I've never been able to use it sadly. I can't afford a Mac right now. Anyway, I showed what I use mainly, Mutt is the main one but I try to keep an open mind and play with other clients too, so if you have a favorite, please reply. also, if anyone knows of other OS vendors who have their own Email clients, like Windows / Microsoft has Outlook and Outlook Express, and SUSE / Novell has Evolution / Groupware and so on, and Apple / Mac OS has Mail2... I'm interessted in learning if any other OS vendors have their own clients as well. Thanks, -Allen

Stuck Spooler 10.0
by Felix Miata 22 May '06

22 May '06

A couple of hours ago I tried to print to my HP laserjet network printer, and it failed, demanding I change the paper to A4. I have no A4, only letter. So, I cycled the printer power to make that A4 demand go away. Now it won't even try to print from SuSE any more, even after rebooting and cycling the printer power. It worked several hours ago, before that one job demanded the A4 paper. OS/2 has no problem printing to this printer even now. I opened first the printing manager, and found that all jobs were queued. I tried to get all jobs moved to the printer, but nothing happens. I tried upping priority, but no change. Then I closed the printing manager and opened KJobViewer. It looks and fails about the same, and also fails to move any jobs from the /var/spool/cups to the printer. I deleted all jobs, then closed KJobViewer, then went to var/spool/cups and deleted everything that remained. Then I tried printing a new job, but that too gets stuck in the queue and won't come out. Job report shows job state 0x3, no-hold, and printer-stopped. Selecting "print" from job report just adds another copy to the queue. How do I get it to print again? Once that's done, where are all the places I need to go to make sure A4 is never requested again? -- "All have sinned & fall short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.

Making Silver Beer Coasters
by kai 22 May '06

22 May '06

I've been trying to burn a CD iso file I downloaded from the internet. It is a six-year-old program, and the developer no longer supports it. In any case, the .bin file I'm using is roughly 730MB in size. In other words, I need to overburn the CD in order to make it fit. Everytime I've tried this - using overburn - with K3B, I get an error saying I've got a buffer underrun. I tried also the following from the CLI and got the same message: kai@yoda:~> cdrecord -overburn -dev=/dev/dvdrecorder -driveropts=burnfree ./STCD1.bin Ideas? -- kai - www.perfectreign.com www.livebeans.com - the new NetBeans community 43...for those who require slightly more than the answer to life, the universe and everything.

kdesktop icons: align to grid doesn't work
by David Geiger 22 May '06

22 May '06

Hi, since some update in 9.3 the function "align to grid" does not work for me anymore. Nothing happens when I activate it. I guess there's something wrong in one of my config files (at least if it's working fine for the rest of the KDE users ;)) - could someone please tell where this information is stored (in 10.1) or whether there's any other known problem about this issue? Best regards, David -- David Geiger info(a)david-geiger.de

by Mark Goldstein 22 May '06

22 May '06

Hi, It seems kde3-i18n-ru-3.5.1-9.noarch.rpm is missing from i386 set of CDs (at least, I have not checked DVD or x86-64 set). It is not shown in package list in YAST as well. It is there in inst-source though. Am I missing something? -- Mark Goldstein

10.1 wireless initialization
by Roger Oberholtzer 22 May '06

22 May '06

I have elected to use the kinternet method to deal with wireless connections. I have been happily using this on 10.0. But I am not sure it works on 10.1. It finds various access points. The usual lot I see are there. But any attempt at a connection only reaches 50% or so completion (as reported by the kinternet tool). Such connections work fine in 10.0. Anyone else having similar problems? BTW, I am pretty sure the firmware is ok. After I added the RPM from the addon CD, the wireless was brought up with out a complaint about missing firmware. It is an IPW2xxx type. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems AB Ramböll Sverige AB Kapellgränd 7 P.O. Box 4205 SE-102 65 Stockholm, Sweden Tel: Int +46 8-615 60 20 Fax: Int +46 8-31 42 23

Faxing from 10.0
by Mike McMullin 22 May '06

22 May '06

I've been trying to set up faxing under 10.0. I've added a modem using hylafax's modemadd, specifying ttyS4 as the correct modem device. I did a test run using jhylafax and it connected to my cell phone properly. After a system reboot neither jhylafax not susefax (which errors in java) can find the modem. KDEPrintFax errors with: Sending to fax using: /usr/bin/capisuitefax -d '***1928' '/opt/fax/Mike/fax' can't write to queue dir (Note first three digits of phone are grunged be me for this message.) /opt/fax/Mike has attributes of 777 as does the intended fax file /opt/fax/Mike/fax. Also is there a way once I get this sorted out to just print to teh fax-modem using cups? Mike

No IMAP subfolders
by James Knott 22 May '06

22 May '06

I recently set up an IMAP server, with SUSE 10.1. I've found that I can create folders under the Inbox, but no sub folders. In previous versions of SUSE, I could create subfolders. What changed?
