[SLE] Changing permissions still not solved
by weberdr＠bellsouth.net 02 Dec '99

02 Dec '99

About a week or so ago I posted a message about my file permissions changing automatically on my log files and that I wanted to make them readable as a regular user (at least messages) and Lenz suggested changing the entries in /etc/permissions. I thought that would solve the problem but it didn't. I checked some more and tried a few other things but still no fix. I have tried making an entry in /etc/permissions.local and setting it to check against in Yast and that didn't help either. I don't really want to turn off the permission checking in yast completely, so I still need to find the cure. Any ideas? -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Darren R.

[SLE] shell script question.
by zentena＠hophead.dyndns.org 01 Dec '99

01 Dec '99

Okay I'm trying to set my IP into my firewall script automatically. I took the info posted here awhile ago by S.Toms. EXT_INT="eth0" # whichever you use IPADDR="`ifconfig ${EXT_INT} | grep 'inet addr' | awk '{print $2}' | sed -e 's/. Which won't work for some reason. I've managed to get: ifconfig ppp0 | grep 'addr' | awk '{printf $2}' | sed -e s/addr:// to work from the command line but I'm banging my head against the wall getting it to work from within a script. So anybody willing to point out the right way to do this?

Or ... if you prefer to not use perl: export IPADDR=$(ifconfig ${EXT_INT}|sed -ne '/addr:/{s/.*addr:$[^ ]*$.*/\1/;p;}') Hope this (or the perl version) helps. (TIAAWTDI) (Leaving out the export is probably what was causing you problems, but cutting 3 processes down to 1 is always a big savings. -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe(a)suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

[SLE] CL SB Live value
by dlbt＠pacific.net.sg 01 Dec '99

01 Dec '99

Don't have to look everywhere for it, it's in the 6.2 package and the setup is very easy. Just select the emu10K~ package from YaST, it's in German, guess that's why most of the English user missed it. Start KDE, look for it in /etc/(somewhere, can't remember clearly), and run the install file. That's all if auto setup work for your system, if not, read the readme file for more details. You should hear a 'tic' sound while the install process is running. No need to do anything else on my PII-350 Asus P3-F mobo. However, only the front two speakers are working, no luck for the rear speakers yet. Thanks and good luck to all.

Yes, and it did not detect it, but I think I have it working by trying every module there is, and guess what it was the last on (wd Western Digital). Now, if I 'ifconfig eth0' it looks like it is installed properly, is there a better way to test it. I don't what to start trying to set it up as a server until I know the card is working and set up properly.

[SLE] Serial + ps2 mouse with X?
by jkarns＠csd.net 01 Dec '99

01 Dec '99

When at home I like to use an external keyboard and serial mouse connected to a laptop. Anyone on this list who has configured X to use two mice simultaneously? I have done this with gpm, but the X howto's don't seem to mention this sort of thing. I guess that I could create two different XF86Config files and run X via a script which would rename the files, but then I would have to maintain 2 different config files whenever I wanted to change something - seems kind of kludgely. -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe(a)suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
