Widgets... you don't need enlightenment for widgets. Check out SuperKaramba!

Got super downloaded. and compiled.. but how to run intall is beyond me... comand line or term box either how do you get it to go after you run intall and it says make.. ??

Super? You mean SLICK? SLICK(Super and klik enhanced SuSE Linux) is SLICK, Super became part of its project awhile ago, and currently uses it. You can download the ISO for an install disc of SLICK, and I highly recommend it, it is stable and fast as all get out, though woefully undersupported currently and has no 64bit version.

First possibility is a network install with a small (?) download to burn. Just enough to get it started, I would think. Check this URL.

Second is to purchase a CD set for about $12 + shipping. Check this URL.

No I down loaded SuperKaramba and cant get it to run.. over make something.. or makeins.. all gives me a permission problem....

Okay.. got it installed but it didnt show up any where. .and the run command wont run it.. and the termanal wont either......Ideas?? version 10 suse..

I was wondering where Super came in to the picture, sorry about that. SuperKaramba, once installed, should show up in your kmenu. You should be able to search for it, or go to utilities and find it in a subsection there. Once running you can add SK themes/applets you have downloaded.

Well, lavluda, here's my recent experience--before you go to the trouble of "up"-grading.

My Dell 8000 Insprion laptop had SuSE 9.3 (Novell's store-bought). After some work, I got the dial-up internet connection working. Then, I thought, gee, it'd be nice to add mp3 and DVD functionality; posters here claimed that this was feasible under SuSE 10.0 with a few minor package additions/suppressions. SO, I dished out for the purchase of 10.0. The upshot is that now I still don't have the extra mp3 or DVD functionality, and, in addition, my previously working dial-connection doesn't work.

It looks like in the up-grade, 10.0 removes the pppd package, since modprobe shows it not there, and replaces it with smpppd. This "improvement" may have cost me my dial-up function.

Please, please, _do_ _not_ recommend, "Why not subscribe to a high-speed internet connection service and drop the dial-up.

I'd like to:

restore the dial-up feature _without_ spending more money subscribing to a new, faster, ISP; then, I'd like to get on with attempting the other improvements I was looking for in the first place.

So far, I've tried everything I know of to try. YaST2 doesn't configure my system correctly. There are perhaps other errors/faults/problems which may be
related. But I don't really know.

Among them are the following error messages at various times-- boot up; or in attempting to launch the dial-up (kinternet).

"Suspend partition has wrong signature?"

"The value of variable "$myhostname" is **etc** [I've left off the actual name but it's a string of alphabetic characters only, e.g. "winston"]
" but should be a fully qualified domain name; perhaps uname(3) did not provide such. You must explicitly assign a FQDN (fully qualified domain name) of this host to variable $myhostname in amavisd.conf "

Questions :

1
what exactly is the variable $myhostname supposed to represent? Is it simply my dial-up ISP's hostname ? Is it the assigned host name I gave or wish to give to name my system itself --- as in "username@host" there in the beginning of a typical command line ?

2 Is making the required change in the amavisd.conf file sufficient in itself? Or, are there other files (more "fundamental" ones) where the hostname must also be re-entered correctly ?

3 How, what, is the most common effective way to effect such a name change ? Suppose that I simply wanted to re-name my system's hostname; how does one do that so that the change is effected everywhere it matters? (if that is possible).

4 Is there any chance that someone would be willing to "meet" in this forum in real-time so that I can follow given advice and report immediately the results ? The alternative is making many (?) round-trips from home (where I can no longer log on to an internet connection) to a cyber café where I can. I'll try and accomodate anyone's schedule who's available to help in that way in between the following hours (UTC Univeral Time Coordinated) 10:00 hrs -- 22:00 hrs (UTC).
That's, I believe, the same as GMT; or, 04:00 -- 16:00 hrs, EST (New York)

Otherwise, perhaps the fix really isn't that complicated and can be resolved in a couple of exchanges of posts. I've no idea.

Let me know what details you'd need to help me trouble-shoot the problem and I'll post these, as I intend to have my laptop open and ready at cybercafé post.

Oh yes, one detail I'll add now: the modem device is an Actiontec LT Winmodem ehternet+modem card (internal). It worked under SuSE 9.3 as a dial-up connection using pppd. None of the YaST2 configurations I tried got a working connection under 10.0. In most cases, the attempt would fail and exit with "exit error 2"; in other arrangements, the kinternet icon at the bottom of the desktop, when "right clicked" to open the popup menu, would not even display any active options as to device or remote ISP. Just the menu options in their unavailable "ghosted" appearance. There's probably a technical term for that state but I don't know it.

Ideas ? Real-time help ? Other ?


many, mucho thanks,

"deas ? Real-time help ? Other ?

Either I've missed them or, uh, guess not--- i.e. no ideas, no real-time help, no 'other'.

Hmmmm.
