So maybe those entries came from another Linux i used. How can i delete a preference in about:config ?

[opensuse] Kontact
by Chris Arnold 05 Jan '08

05 Jan '08

Using 10.3 and kde with kontact (i was using thunderbird). I am looking for the "check mail every x minutes" and don't see it anywhere. Where is this setting? With thunderbird (latest version) it would automagically tell me when i have mail. In other words, i did not have to click on "get mail" to get any mail. If i sent email from any account to me, it would instantly tell me i got mail. We use imap. Does kontact do this? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Now I need to add a Linux network client connected via samba / cifs. And finally a Win2003 client. That is what I'm actually trying to accelerate.

Hi, I'm using 10.3 Gnome. I have a Sierra 850 Wireless card, which is recognised on install, but how do I intiate a 3G connection. All of the docs on the web talk about using KPPP, but is there a Gnome alternative, or will KPPP work under Gnome.

[opensuse] Wireless and Xen
by Adam Jimerson 05 Jan '08

05 Jan '08

I had a trail license of VMware, and it is coming to its end and I have to say I wasn't to impressed with it so I am working on uninstalling that and using Xen. I have Xen installed and I have my broadcom wireless card installed with NDISwrapper so I thought maybe if I installed then Xen Kenel module maybe it will work, I was wrong. My wireless card is properally configured in YaST and I have the driver currently running with NDISwrapper, so is there a way to get this to work under xen?

You are right. The browser.shell.checkDefaultBrowser was set to false. I changed it to true. But when should I be promted for default browser ?.
