[opensuse] Evolution vs. Thunderbird
by Martin Mielke 28 May '07

28 May '07

Hi all, far from wanting another "religious war"... is it me or is Evolution more feature-rich than Thunderbird? I even found references like this one: http://ask.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/12/23/1648242 One of the things I found good on Evolution is the ability to send an email to the attendees for a meeting when a new calendar entry is created... this fails on Thunderbird+Lightning (version 0.3.1), although I heard that Lightning 0.5 is about to hit the streets and will provide such feature as well... All in all, this is my second day using Evolution. I'm more KDE-oriented and also a Thunderbird/Firefox user for years now but I have to admit that Evolution looks quite decent... As usual, suggestions on this subject are more than welcomed! TIA, Martin ____________________________________________________________________________________Be a better Globetrotter.

After running "startx" and waiting for KDE to load, the keyboard mapping is gone. -- Its failings notwithstanding, there is much to be said in favor of journalism in that by giving us the opinion of the uneducated, it keeps us in touch with the ignorance of the community. -- Oscar Wilde

[opensuse] postmap problem [SOLVED]
by Patrick Shanahan 27 May '07

27 May '07

I made an adjustment to /etc/aliases yesterday and then ran postmap to update the aliases.db and reloaded postfix. Got many errors: postmap: warning: /etc/aliases, line 16: record is in "key: value" format; is this an alias file? and now no mail is being routed according to "aliases", ie: mail to "nobody" *is* going to "nobody". I cannot see from the man pages what has changed as I have done this operation many times in the last 10-15 years. What am I doing wrong? tks, NEVERMIND, found my problem, and it was staring me in the face in the /etc/aliases text file. Correct command is "newaliases". tks, -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 OpenSUSE Linux http://en.opensuse.org/ Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Keyboard layouts gone
by Jan Karjalainen 27 May '07

27 May '07

All the keyboard layouts in my openSUSE 10.2 are gone. No special characters or keys work, and Keyboard Layout in YaST shows no layouts available. How do I get the keyboard layouts back? /J -- Base 2 is a difficult base for computers to perform arithmetic in, particularly if the task involves variables, negative, fixed or floating point numbers.
