Hi All, recently I have installed S.u.S.E. 5.3 in my system, and my questions are: what are the write valors of MTU and MRU to reach high speed in a ppp connection to INet? I have kernel 2.0.36, how can I recompile the option "Disable Path MTU Discovery" with the new valors of MTU-MRU? ... I connect to INet with the scripts ppp-up and ppp-down of suseppp, they works ok ... I have configured Kppp and when I connect to INet with Kppp the system tell me in a window: "Connection died unexpectedly" but the connection really was successful !!! I ping a server and receive packets and the connection looks like fine, but the Kppp appears how the connection was not successful ... what's the problem? ... Thanks in advance and sorry for my horrible English ... - 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>>

[SuSE Linux] Problems using Netscape to read man pages
by JPShebell＠aol.com 07 Dec '98

07 Dec '98

Mu SuSE 5.3 system is not networked at all, but I do use Netscape with the SuSE help system. When I try to read man pages I get an error that says, in effect, "localhost6711" is busy. I found a note to the effect that one should disable proxies (I didn't think I had them enabled) by changing "options" - "network preferences" - "proxies" - ..... But I can find no "option" button in the Netscape window. This is driving me nuts. I've tried the docs, the Netscape help, etc. Can anyone point me in the right direction.

[SuSE Linux] Apps for SuSE 6.0!
by martin_moeller＠technologist.com 07 Dec '98

07 Dec '98

Hey there. My wishlist for SuSE 6.0 at the moment: * TrueType support in X-Server (or easy integration) * Easy 'migration' of Windows fonts so they are available in X * Type1 and TrueType utilities for conversion, afm-generating, etc. (I have put some of these in the Incoming dir a while ago) * Some way of getting StarOffice to actually use either TrueType fonts or converted fonts and not just fall back to Times * The AWE utility set, and an integrated way to use them. (<A HREF="http://bahamut.mm.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp/~iwai/midi.html"><A HREF="http://bahamut.mm.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp/~iwai/midi.html</A">http://bahamut.mm.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp/~iwai/midi.html</A</A>>) * The eMusic MP3/MOD/etc. player in actually compilable form (I have grave difficulties doing so -- I guess I would need GNOME 0.30 or later to do it) * mpg123 and similar command-line players. * If possible, it would be neat with Wine-wrappers that could call windows-programs with the right parameters set for 'smooth' operation. This may be premature, though.... * Webmin * I guess it's already in there, but: Easy Masquerading setups * As a extension of the above: The c-mserver and the various clients to pick and choose from. * If you intend to stick with KDE 1.0 (and it *is* possible that KDE 1.1 won't be out, of course), could you include a late CVS-version that will also compile for those of us who would like some of the extras they include? The point here being 'compilable' ;) * The TrueType/Type1/(StarOffice) and Masquerade situation mentioned/explained in the manual. * ICQ-clones such as GTKIcq and Licq (and that infamous 'play' program Licq refers to, which I haven't yet been able to find) * A Mozilla snapshot? Qt and GTK versions? * As with KDE, a recent GNOME CVS-version that compiles in addition to a stable one? * The FoX libraries and samples * The xkb_dk-1.0.tar.gz package available at ftp.sslug.dk (and encouragement for others to do something similar for inclusion) - put into a National/Native/Language group. I think that's about it for now.... -- Martin Moeller. - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

I got a Teles S0/16.3 ISDN board and the HiSax module/driver seem to work correctly cause at setup it recognize my board and tha same at boot up, the problem came when i shutdown the machine, when the system try to unload the module it give me this "error": HiSax module removed ISDN-Subsystem unloaded Dec 5 19.31:45 modprobe: can't locate module char-major-68 device capi20 not registered: No such device Look in /proc/devices. maybe the devicefiles are installed with a wrong majornumber, or you Linux kernel version only supports 64 char device (check /usr/module/Linux/major.h) What does it mean? The ISDN board seem to work cause in the /var/log/message i can see quite any activity on S0 bus but this error will came up at ANY shutdown or reboot. Any hints is wellcome.

[SuSE Linux] video card problem
by mdb＠n-jcenter.com 06 Dec '98

06 Dec '98

i'm trying to run x on my 300 mhz gateway g-6 it has a nvidia 4meg video card installed in an AGP slot(at least i assume it's agp...it's not a pci, and not the big isa's....) i've managed to get x running...sort of. it only runs in 320x200, virtual 320x204. the problem seems to be that a pci scan doesn't pick up my video card...which doesn't surprise me, but how can i get this to work? i've got an older Rage II +DVD card, which i experimented with this afternoon. i can get x running well under it, but i don't have the drivers to run it under win95...if all else fails, i'll dig them up somewhere. anyway, while i was experimenting, i used sax to setup x for use with the nvidia card, but once i pulled the rage card, and tried to go back to using the nvidia card, x still won't run right. i tinkered with the XF86Config file, setting the default color depth and such, but to no avail. under 16, 24, and 32, it won't run at all, but using 8 it goes back to running in the 320x200 mode i mentioned earlier. does anyone know if AGP cards will run x? has anyone had any luck running x on a gateway with the included video card? perhaps i've missed a howto on agp cards, or something.... thanks, -derek - 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>>

It appears that compaq uses a modified IDE/EIDE interface which causes the problem you stated, ie if you setup a drive on a compaq you won't be able to use it on a non compaq or non-compaq to compaq will provide the same result. So be carefull when swaping disks between compaq's and non compaq systems.
