Hi,

- My machine is a dual processor, so automatic powerdown won't work (because APM is not supported). The problem is that the graphic screen at shutdown hides the necessary information as to when shutdown has completed. I have not found a way to tell the system not to use graphics (so I have to hit ESC to know if I may shutdown).

Open YaST -> /etc/sysconfig-editor -> Search for "splash" -> Set to "off"

Thanks/Danke! I did not think of this as a splash... I have another question though: I had to deactivate the kde wallet system because I would have to grant access to the wallet about ten times every time I would fetch my mail: although kmail was set up to store the passwords, it would not, or anyway it would still want to access the wallet. Oh, and when you plug in a cf card, it is auto-mounted, but you can't "safely remove" it because you are not root... and you have to su to umount it and format it... I never liked subfs but I had hoped it had got better - will have to deactivate that as well. Is the system so stupid, or am I? Thierry -- The problem with the world is stupidity. Not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself? Frank Zappa

Usb and cf cards are mounted with sync so you can unplug it as soon as you end with writing/reading.

Hi, that's not a solution, that's a workaround. I don't want all USB media mounted "sync" (I know the method to disable this on a per uuid entry). The hal/udev reads the mount options from fstab if the device is in there. Is it possible to add the option "users" to these auto-collected options for removeable media? Especially for dynamic named media? -- mdc

You have to install the perl module Locale::TextDomain. I don't know if it's available as rpm, but you can also install it using cpan or download it from cpan.org.

If you already installed this module, but perl doesn't find it, add the directory to the environment variable $PERL5LIB.

google: perl Locale::TextDomain suse rpm http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/1581968/com/perl-libintl-perl-1.... look for the src rpm and rpmbuild it for 10.0 You could dl the source from: http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/G/GU/GUIDO/libintl-perl-1.16.tar.gz configure -> make -> checkinstall these two methods would keep your SUSE system rpm intact whereas using cpan to install would not. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2
