But something is definitely wrong with the mozilla package handling and RPM: 22:17 zephyr:~> rpm -qa | grep xulrunner mozilla-xulrunner191-gnomevfs-1.9.1.11-0.1.1.i586 mozilla-xulrunner191-devel-1.9.1.11-0.1.1.i586 mozilla-xulrunner192-1.9.2.10-0.4.1.i586 mozilla-xulrunner192-gnome-1.9.2.10-0.4.1.i586 mozilla-xulrunner191-1.9.1.11-0.1.1.i586 mozilla-xulrunner192-devel-1.9.2.10-0.4.1.i586 mozilla-xulrunner192-translations-common-1.9.2.10-0.4.1.i586 mozilla-xulrunner191-translations-common-1.9.1.11-0.1.1.i586 I also just tried again after today's updates. FF loads, but as soon as I typed 'down' to bring up 'http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/' FF locked the box again. From the look of the installed packages there are definitely duplicates that are probably causing the lock with conflicts. How did RPM let me install 2 versions? I'll go wipe out the mozilla install and reinstall and see if that fixes it. But the big question is how could this happen? I have just used yast and zypper to do updates on this box. I haven't installed any mozilla packages from any other source :( -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse] Fwd: [Mw] Gmail accounts

This from the amateur (ham radio) microwave list, for your information. (Previous message) Folks It appears that the GMAIL server is not accepting microwave list mail when you are the originator of the message. I will have my ISP look into it. If you have a xxx(a)gmail.com address, you might not be getting your own messages back through the list, and in some cases it might not even get to the list.

According to Google, the Gmail system has a "feature" which automatically filters out from you inbox messages which you have sent to any email list. It apparently throws them away. Google tells you that they are "still there" in your "sent folder". Personally, I find this amazingly poor design, but that is what I have learned.

[opensuse] how to re-install the .xemacs-directory?
by Oliver Kullmann 29 Sep '10

29 Sep '10

Hello, after investigating KWrite and Kate it seems to me that they are rather weak tools, so I return to XEmacs. However where to get the .xemacs-directory including content? I assumed re-installing xemacs would do the job, however it doesn't. So it seems that the OpenSuse installation at some point plants the .xemacs-directory with content --- how to get that? Or is there some other place where I can find a *fitting* .xemacs-directory? Would be great if somebody could help.

[opensuse] how to get KWrite to make automatic backup copies??
by Oliver Kullmann 29 Sep '10

29 Sep '10

Hello, I've just lost a file, due to KWrite not making automatic backup copies. So well, I thought, that this is very strange, since the default should always be the safe setting, but so well, then let's turn it on --- but there doesn't seems to be anything about backups and automatic creation of backup-copies (say, every 30s) ?? Oliver P.S. I'm using Suse 11.3 (with all latest updates), and KWrite version 4.4.4 "release 2" (and nothing in the Settings/OpenAndWrite dialog). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Bug in ghostscript 8.71 causes hylafax to send blank pages
by David C. Rankin 29 Sep '10

29 Sep '10

Guys, Anyone using hylafax should be aware that a bug in ghostscript 8.71 will case hylafax to send blank pages. The following is the response from the upstream folks. <quote Aidan Van Dyk - hylafax dev> David, you using ghostscript 8.71 on that server? That's a known bug, fixed in recent releases. Ghostscript 8.71 changed the default "strip" size of MMR tiff, which affects what hylafax expects... faxsend needs a "single" strip of image data to send, and with a small strip size, gs makes multi-strip images, which come out as blank pages. Workarounds (any will work): - edit $SPOOL/bin/{ps,pdf}2fax.gs, add -dMaxStripSize=0 to the GS call, to make gs produce single-strip images - edit $SPOOL/etc/config set Use2D:No to make faxq not prepare MMR images Or, upgrade ;-) </quote> -- David C.

[opensuse] Kmail, Firefox and konsole do not run
by constant＠indo.net.id 29 Sep '10

29 Sep '10

After my last zypper dup I have lost the function of at least KMail, Firefox and konsole.Can use xterm and if I start in this konsole I receive the following info: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libkdecore.so.5: undefined symbol: _ZN9QListData11detach_growEPii With some tricks i was able to start Opera and went to the net. Seems to be a growing problem. As Yast and zypper also stopped working I have a real problem. I have now the kernel 2.6.35.1.1-default running but also the latest kernels from KOD have the same problem..Does somebody have an idea how to get the system up and running? Certainly something for bugzilla but with my crippled system I have ___________________________________________________________ indomail - Your everyday mail - http://indomail.indo.net.id -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] remote installation
by Mark Misulich 29 Sep '10

29 Sep '10

Hi, I have been trying to install the os on two computers that won't boot from the install dvd. I have been trying to install using tftp and pxe via lan, but its not working. I think the problem may be that I don't have the dhcp-server set up correctly on this computer, as the client computer isn't getting an ip address when it boots with dhcp. Is it possible to help me with setting up the server correctly? I don't know how to do this, really, so you will have to expect some replies that might seem kind of dumb until I learn what to do. Also, I have been trying to set it up to netboot, but I think it is possible to boot from the iso image that I have on the server computer. How would I do this?

[opensuse] autoinstalled package
by Esztermann, Ansgar 28 Sep '10

28 Sep '10

Hi, there is something in yast's package management module that confuses me. I have uninstalled a certain package (using command line rpm), but every time I open package management, it tries to come back (i.e. it is marked as autoinstall). I have made sure not to use anything like --force when removing the package, so dependencies should be satisfied. I've also checked the "Show solver information" menu item, with "show recommended packages" on, but to no avail. I guess I could taboo the package, but I would still like to know why it tries to come back.
