[opensuse] configuring postscript on 11.1
by jdd 18 Jul '09

18 Jul '09

Hello :-) I always find Postscript config confusing and this don't change with openSUSE versions :-(. Time ago I went to the conclusion than it was best to remove (comment out) all the suse options (at the end of main.cf) and just adding "mydomain" and "myhostname". However I nerver feel confident with this. As I'm on the way of configuring a new server, I would like to be more suse-compliant :-)) The facts: Right now I have launched postfix (rcpostfix enabled in YaST and running), but not touched any other postfix file. I can see than I can send mails (with mailx) from the server to my home, but no mail sent from home reach the server (and no error is shown in /var/log/mail nor mail.err). YaST is of no use. In fact after some tries, I can no more send mail!! YaST MTA config only try to make sendmail work (?) and fetchmail fetch mail from a server what I don't want (I don't want to fetch external server for now) any help? I need to make clear what I have to do to: * receive mail to my server (in the form jdd(a)kim2.dodin.org) from anywhere (may be opening a port in the firewall, but which one?) * send mail from local accounts with local agent (mail name@host...) thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://valerie.dodin.org http://news.opensuse.org/2009/04/13/people-of-opensuse-jean-daniel-dodin/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Centrino dual, 1Ghz speed to 1.6Ghz, howto?
by Verner Kjærsgaard 18 Jul '09

18 Jul '09

Hi list, - I'm on openSuSE11.1 on my DELL Precision M90, all (nearly) all is good. Except when I check (using KDE) for hardware info, I get that the CPU's are 1.6Ghz (at which speed the dual kernel used to run under 10.3), but I can't seem to get them to run faster that 1Ghz. Any hints? -- ------------------------------ Med venlig hilsen/Best regards Verner Kjærsgaard Novell Certified Linux Professional 10035701 Linux Counter no 114954 ------------------------------ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

One must be careful, however, as HP claims the Pro b8850 is fully supported, and it ISN'T!

Carlos, AFAIU he wants to have two identities (with different SMTP servers) for the same IMAP account. I use Thunderbird only at some clients and am thus not a crack about that app, but I suspect that this is not possible. (Actually, not handling several ids for one account properly is one of the reasons why I don't like Thunderbird.)

[opensuse] openSUSE, Ubuntu, Mandriva & Fedora Benchmark
by Masim "Vavai" Sugianto 18 Jul '09

18 Jul '09

With it being a while since we last compared many Linux distributions when it comes to their measurable desktop performance, we decided to run a new round of tests atop four of the most popular Linux distributions: OpenSUSE, Ubuntu, Fedora, and Mandriva. To see where these Linux distributions are at, we used their latest development releases and then performed all package updates as of 2009-07-15. Following that, we ran an arsenal of tests using the Phoronix Test Suite. Here are the results. http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=distro_four_way&num=1 Just a quick note, it seems that Phoronix has a typo regarding openSUSE name with small u :-) , isn't it ? -- Best Regards, Masim "Vavai" Sugianto /************************************************************/ Blog (ID) : http://www.vavai.com/blog Blog (EN) : http://www.vavai.net Community : http://www.opensuse.or.id /************************************************************/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
