None Gui install of SuSE 9.1
by Jeff Rosmarin 11 Jul '05

11 Jul '05

I recenlty wetn to install SuSE 9.1 PRO. on an older box Compaq Deskpro 400Mhz. I never finished the install do to the fact that there was no Text based way to install SuSE that I could find. Even going through the install menu I was faced with KDE or whatever the Gui SuSE uses for the install. The machine being that speed it was, was taking forever, so I aborted the install and Ran Free BSD. It did great install was quick. My quetion is there a purely text based way to install SuSE 9.1 Pro from the CDs? -- Jeffry F. Rosmarin MCP ID# 2340103

Suse Linux 9.3 pro
by Werner Rupp 23 May '05

23 May '05

Hi, ich versuche, Suse Linux 9.3 pro zu installieren. Die Handy Tech-Zeile wurde beim Start der Installation nicht erkannt. Auch nach der Installation wird die Zeile nicht angesprochen. Von einem Windows-Rechner kann ich mich auch nicht mit cygwinssh an Linux anmelden (time out). Ping reagiert. Ich bin Linux-Anfänger und mir fehlen vielleicht grundlegende Infos. Nun einige Fragen: Das Setup von CD startet mit einem Menü, welches standardmäßig nach einiger Zeit mein Windows von der Festplatte startet. Der Menüpunkt darunter ist die Linux-Installation, den ich ausgewählt hatte. Ist dies der richtige Weg? An welcher Stelle sollte die Brailleerkennung stattfinden? Bereits beim ersten Menü oder später? Wie ist dies zu erkennen? Liegt es an den Einstellungen der Firewall, dass ich mich mit cygwinssh nicht anmelden kann? In der 9.3 ist Gnopernikus enthalten. Wo gibt es eine Anleitung, wie Gnopernikus zu starten ist? Grüße Werner Rupp

Hi Masters, We just migrate our frontend users from Windows to Linux using SuSE 9.0 Temporarily, we use Linux (Red Hat 9.0 Professional) as our Print Server. Now we want to use W2K as our print server, because we have so many problem using Linux as Print Server (hang, slow response time,etc).Will this solve our printing problem ? and how can we possibly do this ? please explain step by step technique. Thank you, i am looking forward to your reply. Kris

Re: [suse-blinux] Accessibility removed
by don gentner 18 May '05

Hi Gordon, I have some good news. I called Novell and was able to talk to one of Novell's Linux Tech's and he helped me check out Suse 9.3 Professional from there Web site and we found that blinux is still a package in Suse 9.3. They have not removed it. Blinux is a package in there Hardware Package Group of Packages and called SBL. The package is not installed by default but is on the Suse 9.3 CD's and DVD's and can be installed by Yast. I went to one of my Suse computers and started up Yast and went to Software and then Install Software and then did a search in Hardware Package Groups for SBL and there it is. You can check the box and then Yast will ask for the Suse CD or DVD and it will install the package. Now I know this is not going to be easy for you because you can't point and click your way through all of this as I was able to. But the blinux Package is still in Suse and I think its an upgraded program because its SBL 2.2 . The bad news is that Novell doesn't offer support for blinux so you can't call a Novell tech for help. You will have to get help from someone who has installed and worked with this package or from a Linux users group that can help you find someone with help. I konw this is not going to be easy but there is hope that with the right kind of help that it is possible. Now that we know that it's in 9.3, I will try to help you find someone who has experience with configuring it. It would be great if you could find someone close to you who could help you install the SBL Package and then see what happens after you install and re-boot. I will see if anyone in a Linux users group around here has any experience with blimux. Don --- Gordon Smith <gordon(a)tft-bbs.co.uk> wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > Hi.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi. Well, I managed to get SUSE 9.3 installed this morning. Sadly, however, it seems that the commitment to making SUSE accessible right from the ground up has disappeared, along with the acquisition of the operatingg system by Novell. Unless there is something I have missed, the installation is now totally inaccessible to blind people. This, from my perspective at least, is a huge step backwards. Since, now that I have it installed, I can't do anything with it. I can't even change any settings, because I have no access to the KDE desktop. So unless this changes in some way, looks like SUSE was indeed a waste of money, and is now dead in the water for blind people. It may be useful once you get it installed with accessibility options enabled. But there doesn't seem to be any easy method of doing that. The requests for help from SUSE themselves have so far been totally ignored. In other words, I've hit a brick wall which, it seems, there's no way around. At least Redhat went out of their way to compile kernels which give accessibility from the ground up. Ah well, come back Fedora ... all's forgiven. But unless things change radically again for the better, looks like I'll just have to put SUSE down to experience, and move on. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 8.1 Comment: A Member Of The TFT BBS Digital Security Initiative iQA/AwUBQn9OyT1/+g3FKWpGEQLIewCgyIQ2w46YYK3q6DLFG4Ll19VcPnUAoIjp qs+iWx9/skxUDjLZNA/17+ZU =10Sd -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Re: [suse-blinux] Boot Issues Revisited

Hi Gordon, The best way to fix your problem is to reload Suse 9.3. What you should first do is hit the F2 or Delete key when you first start up your computer to get into the bios setup so you can set up the boot order to boot to the CD Drive first. It may be set up to boot to the Hard drive first so it does not get to the CD Drive to boot to Install Suse 9.3. I hope this is clear. The boot order has to be set to boot to Cd first to install. This should fix your problem. Suse 9.3 is a great Operating System. Don Gentner --- Gordon Smith <gordon(a)tft-bbs.co.uk> wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > Hi.

Boot Issues Revisited
by Gordon Smith 05 May '05

05 May '05

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi. A while ago I reported a boot issue with SUSE 9.3, whereby I'm just getting a grub prompt. Someone replied, saying this is a menu. Not here it isn't. It's just a prompt with a flashing cursor. I've only just got sighted help to check this out. No matter what I do from the GRUB prompt, I get an error on screen. This is definitely not the way that the previous versions of SUSE installers worked. Is there anywhere I can download the installation and administration manuals, as in the printed editions? Those are currently inaccessible and if I can't download them I may have to waste hours scanning them, <smile>. But I have to say that my initial comments on what little I've seen of SUSE 9.3, what a waste of money ... won't even boot into the installer on the bootable CD. I hope this isn't a sign of things to come, now that Novel has its hands on the product. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 8.1 Comment: A Member Of The TFT BBS Digital Security Initiative iQA/AwUBQnmH1j1/+g3FKWpGEQKatgCgj3q7nfRV8hULYjbQE7tf8l6mwwcAn3WZ sI6phPAgVBeDw+gvV5/qBObs =Vc9d -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Installing SUSE 9.3 Pro
by Gordon Smith 23 Apr '05

23 Apr '05

Linux und Screenreader
by Arnd H. Fricke 02 Mar '05

02 Mar '05

Hallo liebe Liste, ich habe mich eingetragen um mal hier zu fragen, was so der Stand der Dinge ist bei Linux und Screenreader-Software. Ich möchte eigene Projekte auf Barrierefreiheit testen, dazu aber, vor allem in der Arbeitsphase, nicht immer Windows booten müssen. Zumal ich einen lokalen Apache nutze und dann alles doppelt haben muß. Hat hier jemand schon mal probiert, JAWS unter Crossover Office von Codeweavers zu installieren? (Nach dem freien Wine wage ich nicht zu fragen, da bin ich sogar mit dem Internet Explorer gescheitert). Ich bin da ja skeptisch, weil JAWS meines Wissens auf irgendwelche internen Schnittstellen zugreift in Windows. Wie ist es mit emacspeak? Ist das eine empfehlenswerte Alternative, zumindest zum Testen? Von dem Sprachmodul unter Gnome höre ich leider keinen Ton. Ich habe hier übrigens Suse 9.1. Herzlichen Dank schon mal für Hinweise! Herzliche Grüße Arnd

SBL/SuSEConfig problem
by J. V. Sarioglou 25 Feb '05

25 Feb '05

Hi, I know this is a cup of tea which got a bit cool over time but: I can't get cursor routing to work on my machine : SuSE 9.1 PRO SBL 2.2-23 (FTP.ed from the 9.2 repository) kernel 2.6.5-7-145-default (updated by suse). Okay, I know you've got to deactivate UTF-8... So I tried changing the settings in /etc/sysconfig/language and /etc/sysconfig/keyboard accordingly and then run /sbin/SuSEconfig... However no matter what I do something overwrites my lc-variables. If any one knows the problem and has solved it I would be really thankful. Attached are my /etc/sysconfig files and the ouptut of locale run by root.

LC-Variablen (fwd)

---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 14 Jul 2004 21:38:47 +0200 (CEST) From: J. V. Sarioglou <j-sarioglou(a)versanet.de> To: Marco Skambraks <marco(a)suse.de> Subject: LC-Variables Hi list! I am a newbie to this list... I am having trouble getting the cursor routing of my vario40 display (native mode) under sbl 2.2 suse 9.1 PRO selfbacked 2.6.7 kernel to work... Marco Skambraks indicated to me that the problem lies within my LC-Variable setting enabling UTF-8 console enconding in /etc/sysconfig/language and ./console. However even if I set the values as Marco told me (see attached files) a mistirious force within the depths of the System keeps resetting the LC-variables to the values captured in the locale.txt also attached. Has any one any idea what that force might be? Thanks in advance Bye J. Sarioglou

installing SUSE 8.2 with Vario40 display
by Jason Fayre 29 Oct '03

29 Oct '03

Hello Everyone, I am trying to install SUSE on a notebook system with a Vario40 connected to the serial port. After I start the installation, my braille ddisplay locks up. I cannot press any of the buttons on the display. I do not get any text on the display. It looks like my display is freezing during the hardware probe. Is there a way to force the screen reader to use a particular display on a particular port? I have tried this in both Baum mode and Handytech mode. In handytech mode, I get some garbage characters on the display. ===== Jason Fayre - Tech Support Engineer Customer Enabled Services Sun Microsystems, Inc.

Big problem to install SuSE 8
by Nath 17 Feb '03

17 Feb '03

Hi all, I try to install SuSE 8 with an handytec BrailleTop But I encounter a big problem using Yast2. The BrailleTop is properly detected but when I try to navigate between the various choices present on the screen the braille display doesn't follow the cursor properly. I read the faq and others documentations on the unofficial english webpage and find that I need to indicate to the brailleTop that I want to switch to profile 2. To do such thing I pressed on the first left key, maintain it pressed and press the height key from left. I hear two beeps and then I suppose I'm in profile 2 but despite this command the problem is the same. So what can I do now to have the BrailleDisplay following the cursor in order to know which option is selected ? Thanks in advance for your help and advices.
