X-Server? Which one..? sounds?
by egberts＠zeelandnet.nl 02 Aug '99

02 Aug '99

Hi everyone , A few weeks ago, I installed SuSe 6.1 at my laptop, IBM Thinkpad 380Z. I want to use the X Server, but: since I have a laptop screen, I've problems finding the right settings for my screen . I know the resolution, but I can't find the hor/ver refresh rates. Does someone know what settings I should use for a laptop screen. It's a NeoMagic MagicMedia 256av , 1024 by 768 . By the way, I'm also having a little trouble configuring the sound. Which tool, files do I have to use. I made the kernel including sound, but i can't find the right settings. (Crystal PnP Audio System Codec). The only noice my laptop makes is a very soft " ping". thanks for your time egberts(a)zeelandnet.nl , still a newby.....

Ircd - it fails
by chjo＠tripnet.se 02 Aug '99

Hi, list I'm trying to set up an ircserver on my local lan just for the fun of it. However when I try to launch the ircd-daemon I get the following errormessage: ircd: error: unable to find "/usr/sbin/iauth". I've tried to start ircd with the -s switch to disable the use of iauth, but it still doesn't work. I haven't been able to find iauth anywhere, not on the cd's and not on the internet:( Any clues?

RE: [SLE] Multi-Port Ethernet
by DJShinto＠wcom.net 02 Aug '99

Multiport Ethernet cards are a pain. They require special drivers and a little bit of luck. If you really want to buy one (low on expansion slots...) make sure the company you buy one off of has linux drivers and are willing to support them. If not, then you most likely will be tweaking and recompiling your own Ethernet drivers. My experience has been with the Adaptec Dual Ethernet cards. I could only get one port to work at a time. Adaptec couldn't help me get it fixed (after a few months of trying) so I had to return the 100+ card I purchased. -Dan > -----Original Message----- > From: James [SMTP:bond225@shell2.tiac.net] > Sent: Monday, August 02, 1999 12:32 PM > To: SuSE Mailing List > Subject: [SLE] Multi-Port Ethernet > > Hi, > I was looking around at multi-port ethernet cards.

Samba config
by tom＠twatts.force9.net 02 Aug '99

02 Aug '99

Hi everyone, I have supplied with this mail the config for samba that works so a win95 machine can see and access resources on a linux server and vice versa. The config file is very small but it works on the principle that an NT server is available to verify users and passwords for the share accessing. If you don't have an NT server on your network then the security line should be changed to 'user' and not 'server'. And the password server line should be removed altogether. This file also configures two shares, one of the CD drive in the server and one of a public directory that anyone can read and write to. These can be changed from read/write to read-only etc. with file permissions and changing the write line to read only, you get the picture. On the win95 side the networking should be a simple as possible to reduce the traffic on the network and speed things up a bit. You need to have installed: Client for Microso$t Networks', the network adapter (of course!!), 'TCPIP Protocol' and File and Print Sharing for Micoso$t Networks. The File and Print sharing config should have the LM announce flag set to 'yes' and the Browse flag set to disabled, this last one makes the Samba server the only browse master for the network (unless there is an NT server present). You do not need to have NetBEUI installed, this just adds to the network traffic and is unnecessary. Any problems with the configs, let me know. The linux box can see and mount win95/nt shares using the smbmount command (see the man page for and example and add it to a script or something). If you use the smbclient -L 'machine' you should get a list of shares available to the browser list. BTW, the version of samba I was using for this set-up was the one supplied with SuSE 6.0.

Rookie question?
by wrswaney＠netscape.net 02 Aug '99

02 Aug '99

Hello All, This may be a really rookie question. I just installed Linux last week... and I'm so rookie I don't even know if this is the right forum. I am having trouble getting GIMP to run... it doesn't seem like a GIMP problem but an environment problem. I come from a Java background so I can conceptualize what is wrong (hey, we're not supposed to care about where we're running!). Here's the thing: >gimp gimp: error in loading shared libraries libgtk-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Now, the file does indeed exist at: /usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib/ As well, this is included in /etc/ld.so.conf So, what should I do? Thanks so much for any help, Bill ____________________________________________________________________ Get your own FREE, personal Netscape WebMail account today at http://webmail.netscape.com.

Multi-Port Ethernet
by bond225＠shell2.tiac.net 02 Aug '99

02 Aug '99

Hi, I was looking around at multi-port ethernet cards. I want to put one in a K5 I'm building for a firewall. Does anyone have any experiance with these? Would it be easier/cheaper for me just to put two cards in the box (one for an outlet to the cable modem[eventually] and one to a hub)? Any and all help is appreciated. Like I said it's not built yet, but I want to know what to watch for. If the multi-port ethernet cards are pretty good I might get one for my K5 firewall and one for my Dual-pentium pro for game serving(small one room LAN) James bond225(a)tiac.net

RE: [SLE] thrashing

"ps a" shows all processes for your current login id. What I like to do on other unices is "ps -aef|sort +3 -n|tail -20" but that's no good on the Linux distros I've tried... The equivalent being something like "ps axle |sort +4 -n|tail -25" "top" should also be of help to you. (Or am I just helping you willy wave with your machine spec??).
