X windows and KDE2 (and other short stories)....
by Joss Winn 30 Jan '01

30 Jan '01

Hello, I have a slight problem when running KDE2.01 from SUSE and wanted to see if there is a fix for it. As far as I am concerned, when not running KDE2, X windows 4.01 runs very well on my iMac. Faster than OS9 :-) However, under KDE2 (KDE 1.12 is fine), I get trailing pixels when I move icons across the desktop and if I slide windows over each other, it leaves 'snow' over the window which is only rectified if I raise and lower the window to refresh it. Is this a know problem? Does anybody else suffer from it? Other problems include not being able to listen to audio CDs nor rip them (the CD is not recognised as an audio CD - have tried all the fixes for digital audio I can find on the web) and MOL (latest version following instructions from SUSE knowledgebase) doesn't work, producing a grey screen and hangs. all advice gratefully received :-) thanks!

Hello, I've just noticed that I am now getting a failed noticed on startup for httpd. It says there is a synax error and then apache fails.

things I'd like to fix....
by Joss Winn 17 Jan '01

17 Jan '01

Hello I've just bought and installed SUSE 7 on my summer 2000 iMac DV SE and am really very impressed. I have a few things I'd like to get working and am hoping someone could tell me what my chances are. *Audio CDs are not recognised and won't mount *MOL doesn't work after following instructions *USB Zip drive is not recognised *I have an NTT-ME MN 28mini USB ISDN TA and I'd like to get 64/128k rather than using the 56k Apple internal modem. *I have a USB Kritter web cam that would be nice to get working! *I suppose a Firewire CD burner (QueFire) is out of the question?? *iSUB Audio Speaker? *My keyboard is the standard Japanese keyboard (I live in Japan) but choosing the Japanese keymap doesn't work. *The latest KDE2 downloaded from suse today gives the foloowing error at login: "could not read network connection list. Check that dcopserver is running". The beta on the install CDs and a 2.0 version I have from another CD don't give me any errors and I can log in OK. Are any of the above fixable?? I'd appreciate any advice at all. Thanks very much Joss

Problems with the installation CD
by Michael Woodward 17 Jan '01

I am having a ton of trouble installing from the CD. I get to the ash_ RPM files and it bails, i get "an RPM error occured" and then the installation bails. I am able to copy the contents of the CD off so i am not totally convinced that it is the CD but i am having some serious difficulty was wondering if there were any 'good' workarounds or solutions. i am attempting to install the PPC version on a B&W G3 rev.1 (OS 8.6.1)on an external SCSI, Any ideas? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

upgrading to latest Gnome?

Has anyone been able to update to the latest version of Gnome? The "go-gnome" installer says I'm using an "unsupported distribution". SuSE PPC 7.0 is something that should be supported! :) --i

mozilla update
by Chrissy 15 Jan '01

15 Jan '01

for anyone who's interested :) I tried installing Mozilla from CD again (erased previous rpm then rpm --installed the new one) and realized that the reason i tried the one off of the ftp site is not because i had the debug problem, but because i ran into a seg fault while running the mozilla installed from CD (as both root and normal user). Since neither the FTP or CDROM versions worked for me, I ended up installing the LinuxPPC version from rpmfind.net and that worked perfectly. I still get input thrown to the console, but not nearly as much as the one that appears to be in debug mode. Thanks for all your input, Chrissy

Dear SUSE Linux PPC users I cannot print any pdf file using the printer configured by Yast2. We have an HP4000N printer directly connected (Ethernet) on our Lan. What I get is a printed non sense paper sheets, witha lot of strange symbols. May you send to me the instructions how to modify or create a new printcap file for the HP4000N printer ?

mozilla always in debug mode?
by Chrissy 10 Jan '01

10 Jan '01

hey all, first, thank you suse for making a PPC version of my fav distro. I purchased the package to show my support..but just wanted to thank you again :) next.. i briefly looked around the archives and google for this info..and couldn't find anything..so please bear with me if its a repeat question ;) I installed mozilla from the CDROM..it gave me these debug problems so I thought maybe I would do better with the FTP site..so I installed it from the site and ran mozilla once as root. just plain ol mozilla it ran what seemed like in debug mode..so i figured i should quit it and run it with a normal user. I did that..and it still runs in debug mode! i get various messages sent to the console, and it eats about 100% of my resources. I'm on a g3 400 128mb ram.. it shows something like moz-debug=0 on the console..so i wonder..its being told not to debug, yet it acts like its debugging. Netscape is horrible and NS6's smartinstall isn't so smart.. I'd love to get mozilla going. so my question is this.. does anyone have the same problem..and if not, what did i do wrong? how can i get an alternative browser going on this system? rpm -q mozilla shows mozilla-postM16-37 any suggestions? thanks in advance chrissy

Re: Linux PPC User Digest V26 #6
by dabrowsa＠indiana.edu 08 Jan '01

08 Jan '01

I've just installed SuSE 7.0 PPC on a G3-upgraded PB 2400 -- or more accurately, on an external scsi hard disk. It seems to have installed OK, except that the colors in X are messed up. I've tried configuring it with sax2, but the colors seem unaffected by anything I do; e.g. no matter what depth I try to set it to, it always seems to run in 16 bit. I've also installed SuSE 7.0 on an iMac, and that seems to work perfectly. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Andrew Dabrowski Bloomington, IN USA

Using FWB Hard Disk Toolkit
by Tara Piorkowski 06 Jan '01

06 Jan '01

Hello. I recently purchased a new large hard drive for my Rev. B iMac. That machine currently has SuSE PPC 6.4 running on it and I would like to continue running the OS when I install the new drive. My issue is that I'd like to create a larger number of partitions than I did on the previous install, and HardDrive Setup won't allow me to create enough partitions (maxes out at 8). So, I thought I'd use FWB's Hard Disk Toolkit. Alas, I have found that the YAST2 which ships with SuSE 6.4 won't recognize any of the partitions I create with HDT. I have tried every combination of factors that I could think of (partition names and types, that is), but none of them work. Is it possible to use HDT with SuSE 6.4? If so, what am I missing? If it doesn't work w/6.4, does it work with 7.0? Thanks in advance for your help. - Tara -- Tara Piorkowski Network Administrator, vilaj.com
