View 3 Replies View RelatedProbably because I don't know what to put in some of the fields.So; all I want to do is to run my own e-mail server for my business. The network is set up, the web server is running, but I'm having no end of trouble with YAST and the e-mail server.I have a single server running open suse 11.3 32 bit. It is attached to a modem/router. I have a static IP address for my registered domain. The server has a static IP address (192.168.1.8 in this case). My server is NOT running either a DHCP server nor a DNS server - there is no need, since there is nothing else on this box. It has only one network connection - eth0.
I'm trying to set up an e-mail server. I have been unable to get an 'advanced' implementation to work because all attempts to create a suitable server certificate fail. So for now I'll stick with a 'standard' set up.I don't know what I should put in such fields as 'outgoing mail server' (I've assumed I should use the FQDN of my server);I've no idea what 'masquerading' is for or what I should do with it;I don't know what I'm supposed to put in the 'outgoing mail server' in the 'authentication' section;I don't know what to put in the 'downloading' section;and I don't know what 'accept remote SMTP connections' does.I can get the server to start, but any attempt to retrieve e-mail from it ends in an authorisation failure - the syslog shows a sign-on attempt from my 'real' IP address and some form of numeric userid which cannot be found.So, if anyone can tell me what to put in YAST to make it work, I'd be a very happy chap.
Yes, I can telnet to 'my.server.my.domain' 25, so something must be right. But my Linux knowledge is not enough to get it working properly.

So, are there any alternatives to X for Linux? I often hear about other DEs that run on X11 or X, but I have read here and there that there are some alternatives that have picked up a little steam lately, but I know absolutely nothing about them.
What are these alternatives and how would you go about trying them? Are there any live distros that use anything but X?
if there were any (better?) alternatives to Nautilus.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm planning to begin using K3B to burn backup data DVDs. Brasero kinda disappoints as burning software. It can't verify the data after a burn. It only offers the maximum burn speed. It doesn't off options like Disk At Once and Track At Once. K3B is oriented towards KDE. Are there any other GNOME burning choices than Brasero?
View 9 Replies View RelatedOracle has left a bad taste in my mouth as of late, and I'm looking to remove any software affiliated with them from my machine. I haven't had any problems in terms of finding replacements until I came to OpenOffice, of which I have been a user for years.
I am aware of the existence of Gnome Office and KOffice and have been tinkering with both, but I am curious as to whether or not anyone here on LQ has found a more suitable replacement.Here's hoping someone forks OO.o before Oracle pulls another stunt.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm finding it really annoying having to right click by holding two fingers on the touchpad and then clicking. Usually when I set my two fingers down when I'm on the target, it scrolls the screen a bit and I end up having to scroll back to the target. This annoyance is really not going away.Does anyone know of another alternative for right-clicking besides using two fingers on the touchpad? I'd really like to set the "fn" key to do it (as I don't use it for anything anymore) - is this possible?

F15 running on my Dell Latitude 505 laptop. During installation (last week) I got "Gnome3 not fully supported - using fallback mode". I found out later that my Intel 855 video doesn't support 3D, which Gnome3 requires.
System seems to run fine and boots into fallback video. But I'd sure like to have access to my "desktop" so I can drag and drop folders, etc. there. Currently I now have to open the Desktop folder, and then drag and drop, etc. And without an "active" desktop screen, added devices (external drives, cameras, etc.) don't show up unless I open the Desktop folder. Is there an alternative to Gnome3 I can install? I assume without the need for 3D which my Intel video 855 doesn't support.
If there's an alternative or two, could someone point me to exactly how to install them? If there's a more appropriate forum here for this request,
I have heard that SSH was originally for BSD. Is this correct? And what alternatives to SSH do GNU users use? Or do people just not use GNU for SSH or an SSH type application?
