[opensuse] Evolution shows HTML as text, rather than rendering it
by Chris Worley 15 Oct '07

15 Oct '07

I transferred all my Outlook mailboxes to Linux, and am using Evolution now. Normally, evolution doesn't have a problem w/ HTML email, but on some of my old email, rather than it rendering the HTML, it just shows the HTML text... for example, from the top of Evolutions sub-window containg the message, I'll see: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2//EN"> <HTML> <HEAD> <META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=us-ascii"> <META NAME="Generator" CONTENT="MS Exchange Server version 6.5.7036.0"> <TITLE>RE: Missing Atlantis node</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY>  <P ALIGN=LEFT><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT COLOR="#000080" SIZE=2... Any idea how to get Evolution to render the messages? Thanks, Chris -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 10.3 : no go /part 1]
by Hans Witvliet 15 Oct '07

15 Oct '07

As you wish, Stephan... -------- Forwarded Message -------- First shot (with gm) at 10.3 System: hp dl320/G4 with 4GB, no extra hw-installed, was running 10.2 Images were verified Before i try anything special, i always do a default installation, nothing fancy selected. No-go this time! After installation (reboot) it returns grub 21 Although i know that it's half of "life, universe and the rest" ;) It's a bit short. Looking at http://www.uruk.org/orig-grub/errors.html it got some more details about grub-errors. However, for 21 it says: 21 : "Unknown boot failure" This error is returned if the boot attempt did not succeed for reasons which are unknown. Wry thing is, at that stage, its not possible to examine any logfiles as there is no other os on the system. Obviously, during the grub-install, something is forgotten, or went wrong (will investigate further on monday). Would it be possible during grub-install to perform a test to test if it succesfully installed the bootloader. And if it fails this test don't reboot, but fall into the cli?

[opensuse] Clean /tmp & /var/tmp on boot
by Bob S 15 Oct '07

15 Oct '07

Hello SuSE people, On my 10.2 machine I had a setting to clear the tmp files at boot time. Can't seem to find it in 10.3. I thought it was in Yast > System Settings or Runlevel. Anybody know ? Remember?? Bob S. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] nis, ldap, nfs mount (amd automount), ypbind and kde in 10.3
by Mohsen Rezayatmand 15 Oct '07

15 Oct '07

I am using nis, ypbind, ldap, and nfs automount (amd). When I try to login to the workstation using KDE desktop session it takes for ever to login and load my desktop. However when I use GNOME, login is very fast and the desktop loads almost instantly. Any idea why/what is wrong with KDE?

[opensuse] software repository could be made more intelligent
by Robert Lewis 15 Oct '07

15 Oct '07

Several friends have asked me why they are getting an error message when attempting to install RPMS using the YaST "Software Management" choice. The error message confuses them and they don't know what to do, although it is obvious to any experienced user. An attempt to access the installation media when the installation DVD is not present in the drive brings on the message. In each case the OSS and NONOSS repositories have been added so the installation DVD is no longer required. An easy fix is to go edit the Software Repository and turn off having the system look for the DVD. I would like to suggest that the software could be made more intelligent to detect if the above two repositories have been added and then the original line pointing to the DVD be disabled. This prevents the error from happening. Anytime we can eliminate confusion for new users we have done a good thing in my view. Please let me know if you think I should file an enhancement request?

[opensuse] Dell Latitude D820 +Suse 10.3 +Parallels +wireless
by Art Fore 15 Oct '07

15 Oct '07

I installed Suse 10.3 on my D820. Now I am reinstalling 10.2 because of the following problems that are not solvable in the short term. Intel 3945abg wireless card does not work wit iwl3945 driver and from what I have read on the list and the internet, also not with the ipw 3945 driver. When running WinXP under parallels 2.2 with the latest upgrade that is supposed to be for the 2.6.22 kernel, it is so slow to be unuseable, like 10 minutes to open an application. System monitor shows only 6% cpu use during this time where as before, it would reach 100% at times. Think this is a parallels problem though. I installed it on my x86-64X2 with no problems, but then I am not running parallels or wireless on it.
