[SuSE Linux] Neighborwood Watch
by leonmcclatchey＠homemail.com 13 Dec '98

13 Dec '98

Hello everyone:=) I finally got most of the network bugs straightened out as far as the connection goes between my Linux box and my Win95 box:-) Went thru a little bit of panic when I got named running on my linux box and suddenly lost everything on my win95 box (including problems picking up mail locally on my linux box). Found the problem there, (Discovered that 'PTR' doesn't really work to well in my 'SOA' record, 'A' did a better job, also in yast, I had the wrong address set up for eth0 (misunderstanding there I think)). BTW, part of the thing also was that named caused a lot of bounced messages back to me due to undeliverable, but that doesn't appear to be happening anymore:-) BTW, as far as named goes, its set up as a caching only (I think, though win95 appears to send queries on a regular basis even though I have not configured win95 to access a nameserver). Did have just a tad of a problem making my local machines look for a 'local' nameserver, but that was solved simply by rearranging the search list so that the local nameserver appeared first. Now that we have the background in place:-) My problem now is, yes I can 'find' my linux box via the find command in win95 and from there I can see what services are available, but whenever I go to the network neighborhood, it is not listed there. I can still map drives and printers and whatever other service that I have configured as available in samba, but if I don't remember the name, then I have to use the find option in win95 to find the computer and then go from there. I do have Samba set up with the same Workgroup name that my win95 box looks for and it doesn't appear to do anything at all. I would appreciate any ideas that can get my 'office' in the neighborhood watch:-) Thanx Loads! -- cya l8r Leon McClatchey leonmcclatchey(a)homemail.com Linux User 78912 (Win95 Box) - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>

Re: [SuSE Linux] Html Editor under SuseLinux

Try Nedit with the html syntax highlighting - then go and view a few 'sources' of web pages you admire and copy what you need from them. WYSIWIG html editors usually put loads of crap in that no self-respecting web author will put up with! - and htlm is really very simple... :-) -----Original Message----- From: John Lewis <jayell(a)mcmail.com> To: suse-linux-e(a)suse.com <suse-linux-e(a)suse.com> Date: 05 December 1998 23:04 Subject: Re: [SuSE Linux] Html Editor under SuseLinux > >Bostjan Müller wrote: >> >> Christophe Roux wrote: >> > >> > I am looking for a html editor for Linux and and did not find one in the 5.3 >> > Suse distribution. >> >> Try the one that comes with Netscape - I beleave you have Netscape on your >> S.u.S.E.

I know this question has been asked to death, but does anyone know if 6.0 will have Alpha support? Specifically the Digital Alpha PCI 64-275 motherboard.

[SuSE Linux] WvDial for SuSE Linux
by grimmer＠suse.de 13 Dec '98

13 Dec '98

Hi, we are currently working on integrating WvDial in our distribution. We would like to get some feedback about the package, so we've decided to put it on our ftp-Server, where it should appear RSN: <A HREF="ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse_update/special/wvdial-libc5.rpm"><A HREF="ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse_update/special/wvdial-libc5.rpm</A">ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse_update/special/wvdial-libc5.rpm</A</A>> There's also a glibc-Version (wvdial-glibc.rpm). Please send comments and reports to feedback(a)suse.de. Here comes the README: WvDialer is a powerful PPP dialer which supports many complicated login procedures automagically (via menu guessing and some kind of internal logic). Steps to install and us WvDial on SuSE Linux 1. Install wvdial (you have probably already done that ;) Make sure that the packages ppp(Series n) and tix(Series tcl) are also installed. 2. as user root call wvdialconf. This will autodetect your modem port and maximum port speed. It defaults to save 57600 YoMama # wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf Scanning your serial ports for a modem. ttyS0<*1>: AT -- AT -- AT -- nothing. [...] If should find a modem on one of your ports. 3. Install a default /etc/ppp/options, it should contain just the lines lock debug You can easily create it manually using the following commands: YoMama # cat >/etc/ppp/options lock debug <Ctrl+D> YoMama # 4. Start the X-Windows system (if it is not already running) 5. as user root execute wvdial.tcl YoMama # wvdial.tcl & This will start our GUI frontend to WvDial. The dialog should be almost self explaining. 6. Start dialing using the <Test> Button 7. A Window opens and WvDial should start running Have fun! PS: all this will soon be much more comfortable, we just felt that a quick release would be a major benefit for many of our customers. If something goes wrong (i.e.: you cannot connect to your provider) feel free to send feedback to us: feedback(a)suse.de . That's _feedback_, not support :) Be sure to include the login session log in your mail, which you can redirect to a file using the command: YoMama # wvdial >/tmp/wvdial.debug 2>&1 Just wait long enough for your modem to complete dialing and then Interrupt wvdial using <Ctrl+C>. Attach /tmp/wvdial.debug to your mail and send it to feedback(a)suse.de. We then have the opportunity to check what's wrong and fix it for the next release.

[SuSE Linux] StarOffice 5.0 and SuSE 5.3 - Step By Step ?
by deem＠wdm.com 13 Dec '98

13 Dec '98

Here's my experience, step by step. Take so50_01.tar.gz and un-compress in your home sub-directory as ~/so50 . Then go to ~/so50/glibc2_inst and as su root, run ./soprep and put the files in /opt/Office50/lib when asked. (I edited /etc/ld.so.conf and added /opt/Office50/lib already.) Then I exit and run ./setup from ~/so50/office50_inst and my prompt dissappears for a few seconds comes back and nothing ? What exactly else should I be doing to get setup to work ?

[SuSE Linux] problems with local network
by hoog＠zeelandnet.nl 13 Dec '98

13 Dec '98

Hi everyone. I have problems setting up suse 5.3 for my network (TCP/IP). I have an PCI network card (with the RTL8029 chipset). In yast I set up hostname, IP adress, the network entry and so on. when booting up my computer finds the network card correctly (irq and all are the same as in win98 in which my network works okay) When shutting sown, I also see linux unloading the eth0 device correctly However, in my route table I dont have the eth0 interfase, only dummy, lo and ippp0 (isdn card, wich works fine). When I do a cat /proc/net/dev I don't see an eth0 entry First I tought it was the ISDN stuff, so I removed all of that but still no network.
