[opensuse] Avoiding spam to harvested addresses
by Koenraad Lelong 27 Aug '07

27 Aug '07

Hi, Recently I started receiving spam to a mail-address I setup for a list. To get rid of the spam I removed that mail-address so that's solved. Crude, but it works. But then I read Sandy Drobic's post from 22/8 about those bounced mails from this list ("Why do I get this back all the time"). He mentions that he setup his system to reject mails not coming from the listserver. Where in the Postfix documentation should I look for information about setting this up ? Thanks. -- Met vriendelijke groeten, Koenraad Lelong -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Thanks, because I have to fireup ccsm everytime I reboot to set the decoration border to 0.1 (otherwise I get a fat white border around all my windows). And after choosing kde integration some of the actions are blue? and also ignores any new key shortcuts that I put in (worked fine with flat-file backend, shotcuts not border problem) .

[opensuse] Firefox won't show any webpages
by Wilfred van Velzen 27 Aug '07

27 Aug '07

Hi, After my last system reboot Firefox isn't showing any webpages anymore. All I get is the "Server not found..." page (immediately). There are some exceptions though: When I directly type an IP number of some website, or when the url is in my /etc/host (like 'localhost'), everything works fine. So it seems to be dns related. But the strange thing is Konqueror is working fine. And resolving urls from the commandline with the 'host' command also works. So what could be the problem, and how do I fix it?

[opensuse] problem with some of the latest kde3 backports
by CPHennessy 27 Aug '07

27 Aug '07

Hi, I'm using OpenSuSE 10.2 with KDE3.5.7 from the backports repository and have have very few problems until recently. One of the last updates seems to have a missing symbol ( StatusBarNetworkStatusIndicator constructor ) and it is not so clear which library that this should be available from (it does not seem to be a standard KDE3 class). Anyone experienced this and know how to fix it ? Thanks, CPH -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Hi, Anyone know where I can find some documentation (more than howto compile). For example, where is all the config kept? I choose kde integration.

[opensuse] Problems unmounting optical Disks (DVD/CD)
by Aaron Siegel 27 Aug '07

27 Aug '07

Hello I am having problem unmounting optical disks. I receive the following error: The KDE mediamanager is not running. media:///sr0 cannot be found. I have also tried the force option on the unmount comand and received an error device busy. I can access media:/sr0 through Konqueror and when I enter media:///sr0 in Konqueror it redirects me to media:/sr0. Services Manager in kcontrol does indicate the KDED Media Manager is running. Is there a document that explains how the whole mechanism for mounting media under KDE? How is it setup? How can I customize it to work for me? For a front end I am using the media applet. I do not know what other application are involved with this function udev, ... Can someone point me to the documentation? I have look through the KDE manuals but have not found any information at the system level. For example how do I change media:///sr0 to media:/sr0 (I am not even sure if this is necessary) I have been using open source os for nine years (FreeBSD for most of that time) I have been sticking with the mount and umount at the CLI. The automount function in my laptop just seem to work both. This current system, running OpenSUSE 10.2, has been a nightmare one problem after another. Thank You Aaron PS I have search google for this error and did not find a solution. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
