Yast2

Configuring and starting Apache2 via Yast2

Yast is of of course as unfriendly when it comes to error messages as any other Linux program. I tried to start up Apache2 using Yast2 and there were only 3 fields in the configuration wizard to fill in: server name, administrator e-mail and listening port. I filled in as server name "Suse Linux". When Yast2 wanted to do the configuration, the error message was: Error: cannot adjust apache2 service Cool.

Wheel Mouse trouble with Suse Linux 9.2 (SaX2, xorg.conf, explorerps/2, ZAxisMapping)

I wanted to activate the wheen of my USB mouse, but everytime I went to Yast2 > Hardware > Mouse the X server crashed and threw me into a text console. Also using SaX2 didn't work (there is a button under Input devices > Properties > Activate mouse wheel). Funnily the wheel usind to work in 9.1.

Yast hangs during printer installation (Suse Linux 9.1 and 9.2)

Using Suse Linux 9.1 and 9.2, I had for a long time problems with installing additional printers using Yast2. Since I had free installation support for 9.1 I contacted Suse, but to no avail. Printer installation is not covered by the free installation support. The advice they gave me was trivial and did not work (uninstall CUPS and reinstall it again). Additionally most of the installed printers were stopped (a red cross over the printer icons under Start Menu > Utilities > Printing > Printing Manager) and could not be started again.
