[SuSE Linux] rc-file bewilderment

Hi, I've run into a problem I seem unable to solve. I just made a new install of 5.3 and was preparing to customize for my usual user id, but I can't find where all the global settings are, I can't find a /etc/bashrc, and when I make changes to ~/.basrc or .profile the changes do not seem to take effect. in confusion, Bo ---------------------------------- E-Mail: Bo Rosen <bo.rosen(a)home.se> Date: 29-Nov-98 Time: 20:42:34 This message was sent by XFMail ---------------------------------- - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

[SuSE Linux] Infra-red Comms, Oracle 8 Pre, HylaFax
by Surjit.Bains＠hsam.co.uk 30 Nov '98

30 Nov '98

Hi all... I have managed to get Suse 5.3 onto a Toshiba Libretto 50 ct I have a few questions ... 1. Are there any programs available to use infra-red comms i.e. connect to a mobile phone etc (I recently purchased a copy of Nokia Data Suite for Win this seems to install what I think are software modems (Nokia Data/Fax modem and Nokia Voice) and allows me too download and add/modify entries in my mobile phone 'address book' as well as give me real time signal and battery indicators..is there something for Linux..) 2. On 5.3 within Yast there is a package for toshiba machines I selected this as part of the build , What are the features ? and how do I install? 3. How do you setup the HylaFax Server and SUSE_client 4. Has anyone managed to get the Oracle 8 Pre-release Db working... p.s. KDE on the Libretto looks Cooool!

[SuSE Linux] Linux compatable soundcard
by irisinc＠alaska.net 30 Nov '98

30 Nov '98

Can anybody recommend a good quality sound card that is compatible with Linux. I purchased a Diamond Monster MX 200 when I built this box two months ago (before I realized there was a better alternative to Windoz) and there is no driver available now or in the future. I hate to spend the additional dollars but I enjoy my Real Player. Any recommendations will be appreciated.

[SuSE Linux] Apache and Frontpage Extensions
by airtwo＠hotmail.com 30 Nov '98

30 Nov '98

Hello Frontpage Extensions dont work under Apache. Has anyone experience with this? 1. What do I have to change in httpd.conf for the Server and for virtual servers ? 2. What FP files have to be in the directory of a virtual server? 3. What else is important? 4. Do I have to change/recompile Apache, or can I still use the version supplied with suse 5.3? If no, what exactly do I have to do? I've bin working for days on this and its starting to drive me nuts.

Re: [SuSE Linux] StarOffice INSTALL (fwd)
by deem＠wdm.com 30 Nov '98

30 Nov '98

Here's an email from a past discussion about SO 5.0 -Dee >>>>> Forwarded message from Mike Pilone <mpilone(a)slac.com> 1.) As user, untar the soffice package into a subdir in your home dir, like /home/username/temp/. This should be the home dir of the user that will most often use the package. 2.) su to root and go into the dir you just untarred to. Go into the glibc intall dir and run the install script. Install the libraries into the /opt/Office/lib directory. 3.) exit root login and return to user 4.) Add the path to the glibc libraries to your library path, a command like: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/Office50/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH for sh,bash setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /opt/Office50/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH for csh,tcsh 5.) Still as user, go into the soffice install dir and run ./setup. Install soffice into your home directory. I think it defaults to ~/Office50. This is needed because it seems that the user running it needs to have write access to the dir it is installed in. that should do it. The problem now is that you need to have the glibc path in your library path everytime you run star office. to do this, I added the following line to my .cshrc: alias soffice "setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /opt/Office50/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH;/home/user/Office50/bin/soffice" Hope that helps, -mike On Sat, 7 Nov 1998, The Squeegy wrote: > > I am having trouble getting SO 5.0 installed.

[SuSE Linux] telnet and diald on local net
by stevep＠brokersys.com 30 Nov '98

30 Nov '98

Greetings, I have a problem involving the diald as installed by Yast on my 5.3 system, and >>>>local net<<<<. Before diald, when I made a telnet connection to one of my local ethernet boxes, the telnet connection was made instantaneously. Now, diald must start and connect before telnet can complete, even though no internet telnet host was involved. My /etc/hosts file has the local net boxes in it. /etc/host.conf looks okay too. So, I don't think dns is/should be involved... Anyone know how to let telnet work locally without diald kicking on? Thanks. Steve. - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
