Kernel : SuSE vs. Kernel.org ?
by Svenne Krap 31 Mar '01

31 Mar '01

Hi, I have been a SuSE user for quite a long time now, but one thing always puzzled me. Is the SuSE kernel different from the "normal" kernel served at kernel.org. It surely was in the 2.2.x branch (ReiserFS ....)... but what about the suse-kernel from the 7.1-serie vs. the 2.4.3 kernel ? And if so, where can I see which patches to apply to SuSEify my brand new kernel ?

---------- Message transmis ---------- Subject: Re: [SLE] KDE 2.1.1 and anti-aliasing Date: Sun, 1 Apr 2001 00:16:32 +0200 From: filip <vhf(a)skynet.be> To: kde(a)uninetsolutions.com Hi Tim, I didn't notice any stability problems and didn't run into X server crash you have. So, I cann't help here. Everything went smooth. I downloaded in a directory everything related to KDE2.1.1 from SuSE ftp . Then with Yast1 simply upgraded. Did not install qt-2.3.0-13.rpm but installed qt-experimental-2.3.0-10, qt-extensions-2.3.0-13, qt-freebies and qt-static-2.3.0-11 I upgraded to KDE2.1.1 on two PCs ( one nvidia DDR and one Nvidia Ultra ) whithout any problem. Oh, one thing I remember when upgrading maybe 5 days ago : X crashes after upgrading to Xfree4.0.3. The problem was an xserver-crash on empty fonts The solution was given to me by David : see Re: [SLE] XFree4.0.3 DCOP communication error but I don't know if that can be related with your xserver crashes.

Unrealtournament
by filip 31 Mar '01

Hi, Son is pulling my ears for setting up Unreal. I've downloaded utdemo-linux-x86-348.tar.gz (51.3M) Paging quickly through readme etc... I saw a ucc server DM-TurbineDEMO setup!! So before doing anything and crashing everything ( games are very unpredictable ) could someone tell me if : 1. the utdemo file mentionned above is ok and you can play UT. 2. things install OK in SuSE 7.1 (2.2.18 - nvidia GTS2 +PIII 600Mhz -512 Mram) 3. you have to install and configure the server If ok, what do I have to do, where do I begin to have a good install. What do I have to beware of ? Help really much appreciated. TIA. Filip.

KDE 2.1.1 and anti-aliasing
by Kaare Rasmussen 31 Mar '01

31 Mar '01

I installed KDE 2.1.1 from ftp.us.kde.org with qt-1-3 experimental as people here suggested. But when I check anti-aliasing in the Kontrol center, it doesn't work. Or rather, when I restart KDE, kicker doesn't show up, and there are a lot of other strange things happening. Do I need more stuff, or what can my problem be?

Midi Software Wavetable Synth
by Timothy R.Butler 31 Mar '01

31 Mar '01

Hi everyone, My desktop PC uses an Aureal 8820 soundcard, which finally has a driver that has been patched so that KDE2 can work with it. However, it still has one anoying problem - it doesn't have wavetable synthesis (i.e. I can't hear MIDI files from web pages or open them, etc.). Recently, I heard that there was a way to setup TiMidiTy to make it act as a driver for /dev/synth. However, I haven't been able to find anything that seems to hint at how to do this. I also know that the Open Sound System has a software synth program, but I would rather avoid buying OSS if I can, since I don't need anything besides the software synth driver. Any ideas?

YaST1 printer install success, but still no print
by mhf 31 Mar '01

31 Mar '01

Hi Group: YaST1 printer installation on Suse 7.0 was very easy and straightforward. But I'm still not able to print anything. I have tried to print a text document in Star Office. Also tried printing out web page using Opera web browser. I don't receive any system messages or error messages. The data just doesn't seem to reach the printer. I've got lprold, aps, gs_both, gs_fonts, gs_lib all installed. I went through System Administration using YaST1. My printer (HP Deskjet 820C) was on the list. Chose the rest of the options. Nice and easy. I've got my printer set as lp1, might it have to be lp0? I chose lp1 because I thought this was the proper default for kernel 2.2.xx All suggestions greatly appreciated.

Ok, 2.4.2 comes with winbond-840 precompiled but couldn't find pci-scan I got the card running I still wonder why I can't compile it myself.

Under kernel 2.2.16 were worked without problems. Mitja

7.1 and pci-scan and winbond 840
by Purple Shirt 31 Mar '01

31 Mar '01

Hello, I am using SuSE 7.1, just downloaded and installed of ftp. Updated to all the latest packages. I got a winbond 840 network card. I used this card since SuSE 5.3 and always compiled the driver myself. Since a while this driver requires pci-scan.o SuSE 7.1 comes with pci-scan.o in the 2.2.18 kernel. I am not sure if it is there with the 2.4.2 kernel; can't see module in the net directory. I downloaded winbond-840.c and pci-scan.h and kern_compat.h and pci-scan.c. (www.beowulf.org) I boot into 2.2.18 kernel. It errors on the compile of winbond driver. I booted into 2.4.2 and try to compile and it errors again on compile of winbond and pci-scan driver. This happened on my box and a friend's box with 7.1. Just started running XFree4 so I haven't figured out the 3 button mouse thing yet. Can't give output therefore. But there is a problem with SuSE 7.1 and winbond and pci-scan driver. They won't compile. Love to hear from somebody who got them compiled on a fresh box. mk _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com
