[SuSE Linux] Nedit
by giacometti＠coritel.it 31 Mar '99

31 Mar '99

Hi, has anyone solved the problem of NEDIT with suse 6.0? I worked with nedit on RedHat with KDE and I had a lot of menu shortcut working, and a lot of CRTL-x shortcuts working. On Suse (same nedit version, same nedit config files) I cannot use shortcuts at all... what does this depend on?? Thanks in advance!

Hello: I'd like to know how can I activate rsh to root user. I can write the remote machine in /etc/hosts, /etc/hosts.equiv, and in /root/.rhosts, but I can't use remote command (rsh, rlogin, rcp , rdist ..)if I'm root user, but I can if I'm another user different of root. I'm sorry because my english is horrible.

Re: R: [SuSE Linux] Letter to editor.... keeps Linux on the badlist

You somehow mix up Hacker mind with Childish mind. Robert Morrison never spoke like that. The K & R team never spoke like that. Cap'n Crunch never spoke like that. The lab folks at Xerox didn't talk like that. I can list off a lot of hackers who definitely have Hacker minds, and they certainly do not act like that. Oblig Mitnik/Hacker reference: I do not put Kevin Mitnik in that group. I don't know if he was a hacker or a script kiddy. I don't care. All I know is he got caught, and is getting the royal shaft for it. In any case, he doesn't present himself as one with your idea of a "hacker mind" either.

[SuSE Linux] C++ compiler

Hi Y'all there was a post here not long ago that someone's g++ gave: configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C++ compiler cannot create executables. when running a configure script. Mine's doin' it too! The config script is one for korganizer 1.1. The suggested solution was to make sure gpp was installed. Unfortunately, that solution doesn't solve the problem for me. I went through yast and made sure i had everything possible relating to c++ installed and I'm stumped. Help!

Re: [SuSE Linux] re-send of "Partitioning"
by malcolmb＠tibco.com 31 Mar '99

The controller is an Adaptec onboard dual channel UltraSCSI AIC-7895. The bios is pretty new (Award on a 440BX Gigabyte Dual PII bought at the end of last year). The UDMA registers 1027 cylinders logical geometry, and appears to configure correctly. However, it is at the 8.4Gb limit. Again I'd point out that Linux has no problem, and last night I managed to get the NT to see the partition table (though the install got all the way to restarting the computer, then hung on startup).

Hi guys, sorry if this is a really annoying question but if you just point me in a direction that would be great. I have just (very easily) installed Suse 6.0 and now want to upgrade KDE to version 1.1, I have been to KDE's site and found the directory RPMs and there are loads of RPMs I just wondered which ones I should install and then what to do with them when I get them.

Re: [SuSE Linux] still Aopen and poweroff (sorry :^)
by kester＠cwcom.net 31 Mar '99

Dear Alessio below is the answer I received from SuSE technical support on this issue. I use 5.3, hence I can't verify what they say, but they *do* say halt -p is supported in 6.0. Therefore when you call hutdown -h now your change of 'halt -p' in the shutdown script should work! k. p.s. the AX59 is a good board (I use it too), but power off is nothing to do with board's bios, as Linux turns it off.... :-) Dear Mr. Clegg, > > > Regcode: V5FHWL > > > Dear Support > > In many newsgroups, I've seen the advice to shutdown the computer completely > by adding > > halt -p > > to the shutdown script (i.e. run as part of the 'shutdown -h now' command). > However, my version of halt with SuSE 5.3 does not seem to have a -p option. > How can I get the computer to turn itself off completely when 'shutdown -h > now' is run?

I think that our halt in 5.3 does not support -p, but our halt in 6.0 does support it. halt is in the package sysvinit.

[SuSE Linux] Microsoft Mouse Problem

Hi I've finally run into a problem with a Microsoft basic mouse. I've re-installed my SuSE 6.0 system to get it to run properly and now the mouse won't work in X-windows. It worked fine on setup but on re- starting the machine it will not respond. Just for the sake of argument I've installed the 2.2 pre 7 kernel. Has anyone heard of this one ?
