mozilla update
by Chrissy 15 Jan '01

15 Jan '01

for anyone who's interested :) I tried installing Mozilla from CD again (erased previous rpm then rpm --installed the new one) and realized that the reason i tried the one off of the ftp site is not because i had the debug problem, but because i ran into a seg fault while running the mozilla installed from CD (as both root and normal user). Since neither the FTP or CDROM versions worked for me, I ended up installing the LinuxPPC version from rpmfind.net and that worked perfectly. I still get input thrown to the console, but not nearly as much as the one that appears to be in debug mode. Thanks for all your input, Chrissy

Dear SUSE Linux PPC users I cannot print any pdf file using the printer configured by Yast2. We have an HP4000N printer directly connected (Ethernet) on our Lan. What I get is a printed non sense paper sheets, witha lot of strange symbols. May you send to me the instructions how to modify or create a new printcap file for the HP4000N printer ? Thanks for help Giulio -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Giulio Cozzi ++39 041 2578657 (voice) Environmental Sciences Dep. ++39 041 2578549 (fax) University of Venice cozzig(a)unive.it (e-mail) Calle Larga S.

mozilla always in debug mode?
by Chrissy 10 Jan '01

10 Jan '01

hey all, first, thank you suse for making a PPC version of my fav distro. I purchased the package to show my support..but just wanted to thank you again :) next.. i briefly looked around the archives and google for this info..and couldn't find anything..so please bear with me if its a repeat question ;) I installed mozilla from the CDROM..it gave me these debug problems so I thought maybe I would do better with the FTP site..so I installed it from the site and ran mozilla once as root. just plain ol mozilla it ran what seemed like in debug mode..so i figured i should quit it and run it with a normal user. I did that..and it still runs in debug mode! i get various messages sent to the console, and it eats about 100% of my resources. I'm on a g3 400 128mb ram.. it shows something like moz-debug=0 on the console..so i wonder..its being told not to debug, yet it acts like its debugging. Netscape is horrible and NS6's smartinstall isn't so smart.. I'd love to get mozilla going. so my question is this.. does anyone have the same problem..and if not, what did i do wrong? how can i get an alternative browser going on this system? rpm -q mozilla shows mozilla-postM16-37 any suggestions? thanks in advance chrissy

I've just installed SuSE 7.0 PPC on a G3-upgraded PB 2400 -- or more accurately, on an external scsi hard disk. It seems to have installed OK, except that the colors in X are messed up. I've tried configuring it with sax2, but the colors seem unaffected by anything I do; e.g. no matter what depth I try to set it to, it always seems to run in 16 bit. I've also installed SuSE 7.0 on an iMac, and that seems to work perfectly. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Andrew Dabrowski Bloomington, IN USA

Using FWB Hard Disk Toolkit
by Tara Piorkowski 06 Jan '01

06 Jan '01

Hello. I recently purchased a new large hard drive for my Rev. B iMac. That machine currently has SuSE PPC 6.4 running on it and I would like to continue running the OS when I install the new drive. My issue is that I'd like to create a larger number of partitions than I did on the previous install, and HardDrive Setup won't allow me to create enough partitions (maxes out at 8). So, I thought I'd use FWB's Hard Disk Toolkit. Alas, I have found that the YAST2 which ships with SuSE 6.4 won't recognize any of the partitions I create with HDT. I have tried every combination of factors that I could think of (partition names and types, that is), but none of them work. Is it possible to use HDT with SuSE 6.4? If so, what am I missing? If it doesn't work w/6.4, does it work with 7.0? Thanks in advance for your help. - Tara -- Tara Piorkowski Network Administrator, vilaj.com
