I'm not quite sure if that's what you're looking for, but that's the layout you'd use in teh US to - for example - create an umlaut character or an accent character. I have my Personal Settings > REgional and Accessibility > Keyboard Layout set to US English(us) with a Layout variant of alt-intl. This gives me "dead keys" which I can use. For example the ' and " characters don't respond on first click I hit ' + a to get an accented a when I'm typing in Spanish and " + u to get an umlaut in German, when I'm typing in German. -- Kai Ponte www.perfectreign.com || www.4thedadz.com remember - a turn signal is a statement, not a request

Training bogofilter.
by Bob S 08 Sep '06

08 Sep '06

Hello SuSE people. I use Kmail exclusively for email. About a year ago I used Spamassassin to get rid of spam but it was so slow that I gave up and uninstalled it. Now the spam is overwhelming. So I tried bogofilter in Kmail. I trained it with several thousand messages, both ham & spam. Worked pretty well for a couple of weeks but now it is putting everything into my Spam folder that should go into my inbox except the mailing lists I have told it not to check. When it does this, and I review the Spam directory, I click on the little green arrow at the top of Kmail to (supposedly) teach it that it is not spam, but ham. Doesn't seem to be working. Just keeps marking all of my personal messages as spam. As I said, I have about a dozen mailing lists that I exclude from bogofilter, but I also have a group of about 20 or 30 friends who trade jokes and other personal info back and forth, and many more correspondents for other purposes. These are the ones being effected and put into the Spam directory. The spammers use all kinds of words and phrases. Is bogofilter confused by the amount of info in it's spam directory and applying it to everything? Do I have to resort to listing all of my several hundred email addresses in the filters to be passed as ham? Would appreciate your thoughts, experiences, advice, whatever, in your use of bogofilter.

why is updating difficult?
by kanenas＠hawaii.rr.com 08 Sep '06

08 Sep '06

Well, after I gave it about 3 months, I thought I would try 10.1 again, surely that silly update issue has been solved by now, right? wroong! Now I think I will join the conspiracy theorists: could it be that behind all this new registration and libzypp and zmd incompetence lurks the big brother eye of homeland defense? Could it be that libzypp can't be fixed in a snap because the whole thing needs to be so that it can send all of our searches and files and shtuff to some windoze interface deep in some bunker in Arizona or Virginia, regardless of how we configure our systems? At the very least it is curious why system updating has become an issue, when there are numerous other schemes for accomplishing this relatively benign task, most working very well. What is the real problem? This kind of "progress" had only been seen in microsoft products before 10.1, correct? btw, after i ran smart update/upgrade, now the "update" button has turned orange!!!! should i reinstall zmd? are they coming to take me away? weirdness....

Is there an 10.0 RPM for Plone 2.5? I am looking for the bundle. The only ones I found was either Plone-2.5-SUSE_10.1_bundle.tar.bz2 for 10.1 or plone-2.1.3-1.i586.rpm for 10.0. -- Thanks

Login problem on SuSE 9.3; possibly related to KGpg + gpg-agent

Cyrus and POP3
by Anders Norrbring 07 Sep '06

07 Sep '06

Has anybody found a way to let users use POP3 to grab all mail in all his/her subfolders? I have a bunch of users that regularily use webmail and IMAP to access their mail, and they have created subfolders to their INBOX. Some of those occasionally need to use POP3 to download all mail (don't ask me why).. So, is there a way to make pop3d grab it all and send? Telling them to grab each folder by itself by logging in with 'user+folder' isn't gonna fly either, the server use saslauthd to identify incoming users, and of course it can't find a user with the '+folder' added to the name. Seems like a deadlock.. -- Anders Norrbring Norrbring Consulting

> ... but the "shim" is GPL too !! and from my point of view, is just doesn't > matter if nvidia is ok or not to link this "shim" with a binary, they just can't because is GPL, he's binary is braking the GPL from their owns "shim". This is what I thought the situation was, and indeed it would be if the shim were GPL. However, on looking at the provided source to nvidia's shim, and the kernel module it installs it's clear that despite the source being available it is not GPLed. The source states it is under nvidia's own licence, and the kernel module. /lib/modules/2.6.16.21-0.8-default/updates> strings nvidia.ko | grep license license=NVIDIA and from the source: /* _NVRM_COPYRIGHT_BEGIN_ * * Copyright 2001 by NVIDIA Corporation.

Can I install my existing 32 bit opensuse dvd on my new Sempron 3000+? Looking through the archive, it seems that I should download the x86-64 version and use that instead. Confused. Any help most appreciated. Steve.
