Hi, My mail server is setup to stop open relay. So I need to supply a password before sending mail through SMTP. In KMail there's no option that I supply a password before sending mail.

[newbie] segmentation fault
Hi, I am trying to install LM 8.2 on my workstation. But I get the following error message when trying to select language. Segmentation fault: seems like memory is missing as the install crashes.

I tried the text install and it did exactly what I figured it would do. It still doesn't recognize the PS/2 mouse. Thus, you get the new 8.0 image, and you can't do a thing. sigh There goes two days worth of work. I'm just glad I didn't try an upgrade on a real, working server.

PS/2 Mouse support seems like a bizarre thing to break on a new OS release. Speaking of bizarre things, all the other distros are activating the lm_sensors module by default. The IBM laptop owners who try to check battery power are in for a factory-return-for-new-motherboard level surprise. You will not find the lm_sensors loaded or activated by default on this distro. The bugfix for PS/2 keyboard without PS/2 mouse freezing the install was responsible for breaking this one. Since IBM has less than 5% market share on laptops, we don't have one readily available for testing. However, I did test an install and it worked fine, using F1 at the splash screen Then typing text expert without the quotes Then proceeding with text install... Civileme
