HI All, I am having a play with the Novell Linux Desktop, which I understand to be SLES 9 underneath but designed to work on the desktop. I am rather impressed with how easy it is to use, my father who has been using only windows for years, has taken a fancy to it. I have put it on my laptop to play with it and I am having a couple of problems. 1. I am using KDE as my default desktop and every couple of days when I log on it tells me that I have never logged on to this comptuer as this user and asks if I want to use kde or gnome, when I select KDE it shows my my desktop and keeps all my settings. 2. It has also been askewing the time i receive a few mails. For example yesterday about 4pm local I received a couple of mails, this morning when I start up the date time stamp on them is showing 9pm ?? I am using Evolution as my mail client. If anyone could offer any where I could look for solutions on this it would be greatly appreciated Shane Broomhall Brisbane Australia

what is the diff from suse 9.2?
Not exactly sure what the differrences are between NLD and SUSE 9.2. When I compare it to 9.1 it is a lot easier to navigate arround, from a user point of view. It also only has features that a desktop user wants. From the way it looks and the feedback that I have been getting from people who see it, this may put Linux on the desktop of normal non linux users. I guess that is what Novell is hoping for at least. On Thu, 2004-12-02 at 18:32 -0500, boricua Orman wrote:

Are you cleaning out /tmp and/or /var/tmp? Check your config in /etc/sysconfig/cron. I don't know if this would cause such behaviour, but it might.

Set the BIOS on UTC, configure your system to reflect that, and start using xntp, or at the very least, get the time from 3 or 4 NTP servers at bootup.
