I've tried googling many ways and not getting anything I'm looking for. However, is there any tell tale signs in the email headers to look for ? Any website that tells how to block spam using info from the headers ? Thanks, Duaine Seems like you are using Thunderbird to access mail from a third party POP server. you can use SpamAssassin or SpamBayes which has a Thunderbird plugin. With both you can "train" the software to reject what you consider to be spam. You can find spambayes on sourceforge. I used to use it before building my own mail server. It's quite good and easy to install/use. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Is there something like kprinter in KDE4, where we can redirect printing jobs and get all the additional options, including print to PDF? -- Carlos F Lange -- Recursive: Adj.

According to the opensuse.org web site OpenSuse 11.3 supports the devices mentioned above (http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:11.3 ) under the section smartphone support. I am at a complete loss. I have searched and searched what app(s) in opensuse 11.3 are they talking about ? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 11.3: ldap connects don't accept self signed certificates
by Volker 24 Aug '10

24 Aug '10

Hi. I'm facing a problem with 11.3 which did not occur in 11.2. I'm unable to connect to my ldap server from 11.3 clients using TLS. All ldap clients give the following error: ldap_start_tls: Connect error (-11) additional info: error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed (self signed certificate in certificate chain) The CA which singed the ldap server's cert is indeed self signed. However this used to be no problem for clients until 11.3 Regards .......Volker -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Policy Kit problems: 11.3 + KDE - fresh install
by ian 24 Aug '10

24 Aug '10

Hello, I upgraded both my desktop & laptop from 11.2 to 11.3 without any problems. Last week though, my desktop started throwing file system errors & figured the drive was probably dying. I booted from a live CD & was able to fsck the disk but the system panicked on boot, so I decided to install from scratch on a fresh drive & copy my data across. That all seemed to go will until I tried to hibernate or suspend or to access removable media such as my iPod or flash drives. Basically none of that works unless I login as root (or do sudo pm- hibernate or sudo mount /media/whatever, but then Amarok can't write to the iPod!). After doing some googling & testing, I realised the problem seems to be PolicyKit is preventing access - for instance if I run dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.Hal \ /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer \ org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.SystemPowerManagement.Suspend int32:0 I get: Error org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.PermissionDeniedByPolicy: org.freedesktop.hal.power-management.suspend auth_admin_keep_always <-- (action, result) I tried comparing conf files between the old drive & then new system, but can't seem to find any differences that would relate to this. In particular, /etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf is the same on both - basically empty apart from a <!DOCTYPE> tag, a comment & a version number. I tried using KDE's System Policies settings but it doesn't seem to let you save any changes. Can anyone suggest a way to fix this?

[opensuse] CLI command to open ( /sbin/yast2 {With admin passwd prompt} )???
by Joe(theWordy)Philbrook 24 Aug '10

24 Aug '10

When I run XFCE there exist "Menu->System->YaST" which will first prompt user for root passwd then, if passwd correct will open yast2... I spend more time using Enlightenment (e16) than xfce however, and e16's menu doesn't have that choice... When I select "Menu->System->YaST" from xfce and click on details it only says "/sbin/yast2" but if I issue "/sbin/yast2" via xfrun4 run prompt it doesn't prompt me for root password but only opens a stripped down version of yast2 with only the options that don;t require root privileges. I want to be able to fire up the yast control center with root permissions from e16 But I don't know how to get the graphical root password prompt. What do I need to put in a cli command besides /sbin/yast2 to trigger the authentication prompt box??? -- | ~^~ ~^~ | <?> <?> Joe (theWordy) Philbrook | ^ J(tWdy)P | \___/ <<jtwdyp(a)ttlc.net>> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Mouse problem
by Thomas Taylor 23 Aug '10

23 Aug '10

I'm having a problem with my mouse. I've got a Dell Studio 1745 which has a built-in touchpad which I turn off in desktop config. I also have a Logitech cordless mouse working through a 4-port USB hub connected to one of the two USB ports on the laptop. The problem seems to be that the mouse looses focus after a while, that is, the cursor still moves but the buttons are not functioning. So far I have tried using two other corded mice and plugging directly into the USB port on the laptop without the USB hub but the behaviour continues. This problem first displayed shortly after loading OS 11.3 from DVD. It had not happened during the factory builds or under OS 11.2. When the mouse buttons stop working, the entire desktop seems to lose focus with no keyboard activity having any effect. If I bang the mouse around a bit and keep pushing buttons the focus seems to return for a while but returns. Does anyone have a suggestion about how to test this situation? If ned be, I could reload 11.2 to see what happens.

[opensuse] Firefox 4.0b4
by Wolfgang Rosenauer 23 Aug '10

23 Aug '10

Hi, a quick heads up for the people reading here. Up to now Firefox 4 beta was installable in parallel to previous versions. This just changed for Firefox 4.0b4 which is just about being published from the mozilla:beta repository. Please keep in mind that most addons are not compatible yet and there might be other issues. Do _NOT_ update blindly but I felt it was time to ship the next step within a "beta" repository.

[opensuse] Defines the dependency & boot order for such runlevel service
by Masim "Vavai" Sugianto 23 Aug '10

23 Aug '10

Hi, openSUSE defines rules for runlevel service on /etc/init.d and by using YAST | System | System Services (Runlevel), but how can we set the order of each service, e.g : service A depends on network service so the network services must be running before Service A run on boot. On another case, is there a way to run some services after all default service has been successfully execute. Puts my script on /etc/init.d/boot.local will trying to run the service before all default services completely executed, not after others services. Thanks. -- Best Regards, Masim "Vavai" Sugianto /************************************************************/ Blog (ID) : http://www.vavai.com Excellent Infotama Kreasindo : http://www.vavai.biz /************************************************************/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Kde 4.4.x not displaying thumbnails properly
by James Smullins 23 Aug '10

23 Aug '10

OS 11.3 64 bit It only displays garbage as the thumbnail. It affects everything in kde including firefox. I loaded Gnome to see if it was system issue and all works fine there I just don't care to much for Gnome to use it. If I mouse over the image the popup preview displays normal and clicking on the image displays fine. I really need this to work right since I am a armature photographer So any help would be much appreciated.
