WWW development - another good example against M$

Hello folks, short time, short go today: I need a web design program for Linux (I use Suse 7.3 here) which can use the files from NETOBJECTS FUSION 7 (Winsuck) Explanation for those who are interested: I ran into installing the NOF 7 pack, and it requires that god-damn Win Internet Explorer 5.5 - and as I am moving away from Windoze, I will NOT get that thing. I run Win98 for whatever purposes that Linux is yet incapable to deal with, and Windoze98 does only include IE4.7. Another good example that Windoze sucks major d...!!! Please, can anyone point me into that direction? -- *º¤.,___,.¤º*¨¨¨*¤ =Oliver@home= *º¤.,¸¸¸,.¤º*¨¨*¤ I / __|__ http://www.bmw-roadster.de/Friends/Olli/olli.html I I / / |_/ http://www.bmw-roadster.de/Friends/friends.html I I \ \__|_\ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/VGAP-93 I I \___| mailto:VGAP-93-subscribe@yahoogroups.com I >>> Telek0ma iBBMS - moving house, but online! +49....TRSi1 <<<

NoteEdit doesn't produce any sound
by keith＠topaz5.worldonline.co.uk 25 Mar '03

Hi All! My name is Keith Roberts. I have a SuSE 8.1 (pro) setup. I Have installed all the sound packages from CD-ROM after doing a Minimal Linux installation. The problem is this: Noteedit seems to be installed ok. I tell it to play the first example but all it does is run through the demo, highlights the notes played, but there is no sound at all. Alsa loads on Linux boot, and also the cmipci driver. I have a PCI soundcard with a CMI8738 audio chip onboard. The soundcard works with KMIDI, and also with alsasynth, and Vkeyboard. I just cannot figure out why noteedit does not work. Has anyone else had a similar problem with noteedit not working? Thankyou - Keith R.

epson perfection 1260 troubles
by Steven Edgar 16 Mar '03

I'm having vast amounts of problems with my Epson 1260 USB scanner under SuSE 8.1. I managed to get it working when I first bought it after having deleted the 1.0.8 SANE packages that came with SuSE 8.1 and compiled my own backends, frontends and xsane from the SANE project homepage. About a month ago a friend borrowed the scanner to run on a Windows box, and I just recently got it back, however now it doesn't work. The scanner still works from the friends windows box, so it's not a hardware problem. I've tried deleting all the SANE libraries, binaries and configs and retracing my original steps (or at least as well as I can remember them), and have spent all evening digging through the various documents and trying variations on the config, like using the plustek and epson backends, coding the vendor and product id's in the config files, I have the following two lines in /etc/modules.conf, options scanner product=0x11d vendor=0x4b8 pre-install scanner /sbin/modprobe "scanner" I've tried power cycling the scanner, plugging and unplugging (it does get detected, shows in /var/log/messages), pre-compiled packages from packman.links2linux.de, nothing seems to work. One really strange thing, if I do modprobe scanner it spins off a whole load of child processes and eats up all the memory in the system - 1Gb RAM and 1Gb of swap, making the system freeze - did I mention I've tried resetting! :-( insmod|rmmod scanner works just fine. One other thing I'm seeing is the following line in /var/log/messages when I try and start xscanimage scanner.c: open_scanner(0): Unable to access minor data line repeats twice for (0) and then once for every number in the range 1 to 7 - presumably looking at /dev/usb/scanner[0-7] I've tried remaking the device /dev/usb/scanner0 also, which made no difference. I know this thing works, but can't figure out where I'm going wrong. Anyone got some pointers for me? Thanks Steven

low latency kernel?
by Alexandre Castonguay 04 Mar '03

Hello all, I was wondering if there is a low latency kernel available for SuSE or if I need to investigate DeMuDI or the Agnula project to try to install one? Cheers, Alexandre
