by Damir Buskulic 21 Mar '02

21 Mar '02

Hi all, Does anyone know where to find the java2 plugin for the latest build of Mozilla ? I tried the IBM-Java2 rpm's but there is no such plugin thing and java2 is only version 1.1.8 which admitedly will not work with the latest mozilla. Thanks for any help Damir -- ===================================================================== | Damir Buskulic | Universite de Savoie/LAPP | | | Chemin de Bellevue, B.P. 110 | | Tel : +33 (0)450091600 | F-74941 Annecy-le-Vieux Cedex | | e-mail: buskulic(a)lapp.in2p3.fr | FRANCE | ===================================================================== mailto:buskulic@lapp.in2p3.fr

Terminal-Emulation program needed
by Manz＠lifenet.de 21 Mar '02

21 Mar '02

Hello! I'm looking for a terminal-emulation program to communicate with another computer via serial port and cable (without a modem). And it would be nice if it wouldn't be too complicated to choose port, baud rate and other parameters. Is there anything like that? Marianne

Install on Powerbook G3 Kanga?
by Terry Longrie 21 Mar '02

21 Mar '02

Hello, I am wondering if it is possible to install SuSE Linux 7.3 on an original PowerBook G3. It is the one that has the same form factor as the PB 3400 but has a G3 instead and went by the code-name of "kanga" when it was released. I am following the "Old World" instructions from the manual and am first booting into MacOS (8.6) and then running BootX from the suseboot folder on the CD to start the installation. In BootX I am choosing the "install-oldworld" kernel. The ramdisk size parameter is defaulting to 8192. I've been checking the 'No Video Driver" box and have been setting the "more kernel arguments" field to "root=/dev/fd0". When I click the SuSE Linux button in BootX the machine reboots and the kernel appears to be starting. I get Tux in the upper left corner and a lot of the usual sort of messages that show up early in the Linux boot process. (I can type them in if anyone would find them beneficial.) The last line displayed is "ide: Assuming 33 MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx". At this point the machine just hangs and the only thing to do is a CTRL, Apple, Power to reboot. I've tried a number of different settings in BootX. It seems to me as though it is not finding any sort of root filesystem to continue with the boot process. As such I've tried setting the additional kernal parameter to root=/dev/hda, hdb, hdc, and so on but always with the same results. Any help would be appreciated as I'd really like to get some use out of this laptop since it isn't supported by MacOS X. Thank you in advance, Terry Longrie

Hello! I posted a question some time ago about an Acard-Adapter that didn't work properly with linux. I found the solution. I had to do a firmware-update. Now it works fine. Can anybody tell the SuSE-Support-people? They didn't know about that. Marianne

Below is my entries in thew AppleVolumes.default file: ~ mswindows,codepage:maccode.iso8859-1 /documents "documents" rwlist:@100 /serverhd "serverhd" rwlist:@0 The other problem I have is that Mac Applications that reside on the Linux box default to plain text files and are unusable as applications. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in Advance. Bill Heese

Re: [suse-ppc] PPP: Authentication failure

Hi Olaf! >Did you try wvdial.lxdialog to configure wvdial? Guess what - my modem is running! Thanks for the wvdial.lxdialog suggestion. After having played around with its configuration without any success, I decided to run wvdial from within the lxdialog menu since I had nothing else to do - and it worked. Even with my very first wvdial.config file! Thus, it seems that there is a problem with kinternet. With 'locate kinternet' I couldn't find any configuration file for it. Either my settings are screwy or the program doesn't like my environment. If you know of some way how to tweak kinternet please let me know, otherwise I will forward a bug message to the kinternet guys. Best wishes from a happily connected Jutta

iee1394 / firewire and SuSE 7.3 sucess (kind of)
by Kimball Hodge 19 Mar '02

19 Mar '02

Hi, I couldn't get the ieee1394 to work with my blue and white G3. It uses the pcilynx driver, but the driver doesn't seem to work with the sbp2 module (which treats the drive as a scsi device. However, I bought a cheap pci firewire card (about $20 on e-bay), and used the ohci1394 module instead of the pcilynx module. It worked like a charm. I'll keep the pci card in my computer until the pcilynx module works correctly, then I'll put the pci card in my old pentium box and use the on-board G3 hardware.

alsa drivers ?
by Damir Buskulic 15 Mar '02

15 Mar '02

Hi, I recently upgraded my kernel to 2.4.18 from BenH (by the way, merci Ben !). But for various reasons, I had to go from scratch and rebuild it, which went well so far. The problem is that I have no more sound, using the Alsa architecture. Is it enough to take the /lib/modules/2.4.12/misc directory and copy it into /lib/modules/2.4.18-ben0 ? Is there a way to tell the kernel to include alsa drivers and rebuild them ? I have no clue here, since i'm really not a specialist. Any help is welcome.
