The boot floppy uses 2.0.36 right; as a 2.0 Kernel it needs to be compiled with 2.7.2.x since no one wants to fix the kernel ('cause most of the kernel folks don't trust egcs...) Right after the installation, you'll be prompted to install the kernel to run your system with: and then you have the choice between 2.0.36 and 2.1.13x. All kernels (and kernel modules) are compiled using gcc-2.7.2.x. But: full egcs is included. The list of programs that we had to use gcc-2.7.2.x for is rather short (e.g. tetex which still throws an internal error in egcs). > > Anyway, whats going on?

[SuSE Linux] Editing KDE Menus
by phil＠stokes.demon.co.uk 09 Dec '98

09 Dec '98

Does anyone know if there is a way to configure the KDE menus on the KPanel so that a particular user can only see and access his personal menus, whilst other users can see both their personal and the system default menus? I have given my son access to my Linux box and want to remove the menu items to programs that I don't want to give him access to. I used KmenuEdit to create a personal menu for him, but I can't find a way to remove the system default menu from his display. If it's in the docs, it's something I've missed several times :( Phil -- Philip Stokes Email: phil(a)stokes.demon.co.uk Fax: +44 (0)870 164 1242 - 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] Closing X
by kjohnson＠usitc.gov 09 Dec '98

09 Dec '98

For some time I've had a problem closing X on my system. Whenever I close X (whether from the pulldown menu item "close FVWM2 and X" or with Ctrl-Alt-Backspace), X shuts down, but leaves me with a frozen screen and the messages xinit: connection to X server lost Waiting for X server to shutdown X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown). Xterm: fatal IO error 2 (Broken pipe) or Killclient on X server ":0.0" This happens whether I'm using FVWM2 or FVWM; I haven't tried it with other managers. It only happens with one user, leading me to suspect that the problem is somewhere in that user's home x window configuration. The keyboard is not completely locked--I can switch consoles and login on another console. I'm using SuSE 5.1. Does anyone have a suggestion about where to look for the problem? Thanks.

[SuSE Linux] DS: Microsoft
by Martijn.Rouwen＠epon.nl 09 Dec '98

09 Dec '98

(( Some Mickey Soft BASHING...very funny..I know it's off topic but better then a laf a day i think)) There was a knock on the door. It was the man from Microsoft... "Not you again," I said. "Sorry," he said, a little sheepishly. "I guess you know why I'm here." Indeed I did. Microsoft's $300 million campaign to promote the Windows 98 operating system was meant to be universally effective, to convince every human being on the planet that Windows 98 was an essential, some would say integral, part of living. Problem was, not everyone had bought it. Specifically, I hadn't bought it. I was the Last Human Being Without Windows 98. And now this little man from Microsoft was at my door, and he wouldn't take no for an answer. "No," I said. "You know I can't take that," he said, pulling out a copy of Windows 98 >from a briefcase. "Come on. Just one copy. That's all we ask." "Not interested." I said. "Look, isn't there someone else youcan go bother for a while? There's got to be someone else onthe planet who doesn't have a copy." "Well, no," The Microsoft man said. "You're the only one." "You can't be serious. Not everyone on the planet has a computer," I said. "Hell, not everyone on the planet has a PC! Some people own Atari's, which run their own operating system. And some people who have PCs run Linux, though I hear that's just a rumor. In short, there are some people who just have no use for Windows 98." The Microsoft man look perplexed. "I'm missing your point," he said. "Use!" I screamed. "Use! Use! Use! Why BUY it, if you can't USE it?" "Well, I don't know anything about this 'use' thing you're going on about," The Microsoft man said. "All I know is that according to our records, everyone else on the planet has a copy." "People without computers?" "Got 'em." "Amazonian Indians?" "We had to get some malaria shots to go in, but yes." "The Amish." "Check." "Oh, come on," I said. "They don't even wear BUTTONS. How did you get them to buy a computer operating system?" "We told them there were actually 98 very small windows in the box," the Microsoft man admitted. "We sort of lied. Which means we are all going to Hell, every single employee of Microsoft." He was somber for a minute, but then perked right up. "But that's not the point!" he said. "The point is, EVERYONE has a copy. Except you." "So what?" I said. "If everyone else jumped off a cliff, would you expect me to do it, too?" "If we spent $300 million advertising it? Absolutely." "No." "Jeez, back to that again," the Microsoft man said. "Hey. I'll tell you what. I'll GIVE you a copy. For free. Just take it and install it on your computer." He waved the box in front of me. "No," I said again. "No offense, pal. But I don't need it. And frankly, your whole advertising blitz has sort of offended me. I mean, it's a computer operating system! Great. Fine. Well. Whatever. But you guys are advertising it like it creates world peace or something." "It did." "Pardon?" "World peace. It was part of the original design. Really. One button access. Click on it, poof, end to strife and hunger. Simple." "So what happened?" "Well, you know," he said. "It took up a lot of space on the hard drive. We had to decide between it or the Microsoft Network. Anyway, we couldn't figure out how to make a profit off of world peace." "Go away," I said. "I can't," he said. "I'll be killed if I fail." "You have got to be kidding," I said. "Look," the Microsoft man said, "We sold this to the AMISH. The Amish! Right now, they're opening the boxes and figuring out they've been had. We'll be pitchforked if we ever step into Western Pennsyvania again. But we did it. So to have YOU holding out, well, it's embarassing. It's embarassing to the company. It's embarassing to the product. It's embarassing to BILL." "Bill Gates does not care about me," I said. "He's watching right now," the Microsoft man said. "Borrowed one of those military spy satellites just for the purpose. It's also got one of those high-powered lasers. You close that door on me, zap, I'm a pile of grey ash." "He wouldn't do that," I said, "He might hit that copy of Windows 98 by accident." "Oh, Bill's gotten pretty good with that laser," the Microsoft man said, nervously. "Okay. I wasn't supposed to do this, but you leave me no choice. If you take this copy of Windows 98, we will reward you handsomely. In fact, we'll give you your own Caribbean island! How does Montserrat sound?" "Terrible. There's an active volcano there." "It's only a small one," the Microsoft man said. "Look," I said, "even if you DID convince me to take that copy of Windows 98, what would you do then? You'd have totally saturated the market. That would be it. No new worlds to conquer. What would you do then?" The Microsoft man held up another box and gave it to me. "Windows 98....For Pets'?!?!?" "There's a LOT of domestic animals out there," he said. I shut the door quickly. There was a surprised yelp, the sound of a laser, and then nothing.

[SuSE Linux] Problems with an HP ethernet card
by A.Crowe＠OPENMAIL1.TSEA-E.sukepabe.simis.com 09 Dec '98

09 Dec '98

Folks, I recently got a HP network kit that was going cheap, comprising 3 J2973A ethernet cards (with TP connections), and an 8 port hub. I've verified that the cards work OK in Win98 and NT, but can't get them operating at all in Linux (2.0.36 kernel). I've currently got them compiled in as PCI NE2000 cards, since there doesn't appear to be an option for them when doing a make config. All I seem to get during boot is the SIOCS..... messages indicating that it can't find the adapter. According to SuSE, these cards have been supported since 2.0.33. Any ideas, or have I missed something obvious here?

[SuSE Linux] susefax: FaxNo in CL argument?
by Ted.Harding＠nessie.mcc.ac.uk 09 Dec '98

09 Dec '98

Hi Folks, I would like to be able to start up susefax from a command line, with the destination Fax Number as an argument in the command line (but doing the rest manually in the usual way). In the version I have (which came with SuSE-5.1) I cannot make out from the documentation how to pass any arguments at all to susefax. Nevertheless the "/usr/X11R6/bin/susefax" startup script seems to have provision for passing arguments to the Java binary; only there is no explanation of how these should be formatted. (The reason for the request is that I want to start susefax from within another program which can retrieve a Fax No from its own database file; for this purpose I do not want to have to use susefax's own PhoneBook). Any help appreciated!

[SuSE Linux] Please. Information for a ThinkPad600, 1024*768.
by MVCT＠iname.com 09 Dec '98

09 Dec '98

¡Hello! I have recently got an IBMThinkPad 600 with a screen with a resolution of 1024 * 768, with a NeoMagic MagicGraf128XD. When I got Suse linux 5.2 I did not have yet the machine an now seems to late to ask for any support. I have found that entering floppy=thinkpad makes things worser. I have not yet been able to find an easy way to boot linux (I do it starting setup). I have been reading the computerŽs manual and other information got from the web and have not yet been able to gess what to set for the X86 configuration with Yast. I don't need here a full explanation of what to do (unless it where a very short and simple answer), but where could I find information (about Suse linux on a ThinkPad600 and of the ThinkPad600's screen(1024*768 resolution)'s properties).

Re: [SuSE Linux] SuSE installation compared to redhat
by kingr＠icon.co.za 09 Dec '98

I wonder if their aren't certain hardware combinations or bios' that give problems? I've had instances where Redhat was so easy to install it was laughable - in other cases it was so difficult I had to remove the HD, partition, format and do the install on a different machine..... My one and only (so far) install od SuSE 5.3 went very well indeed - but what is more significant to me is that the presence of YaST makes it possible for me, as a newbie, to do far more sophisticated and useful things with linux than I ever managed to do with Redhat. -----Original Message----- From: Kaare Rasmussen <kar(a)webline.dk> To: suse-linux-e(a)suse.com <suse-linux-e(a)suse.com> Date: 09 December 1998 09:51 Subject: [SuSE Linux] SuSE installation compared to redhat > >According to this test: ><A HREF="http://www.zdnet.com/pcweek/stories/news/0,4153,375002,00.html"><A HREF="http://www.zdnet.com/pcweek/stories/news/0,4153,375002,00.html</A">http://www.zdnet.com/pcweek/stories/news/0,4153,375002,00.html</A</A>> it is >harder to install SuSE 5.3 than RedHat 5.2 This surprises me. > >Here's the quote: > >In tests of Office Suite 99 on a 200MHz Pentium-based desktop PC, PC >Week Labs found installation of the operating system to be considerably >harder than installation of Red Hat Linux 5.2 (see review).

People..PeopleWhat is this? You are bashing one of your friends? I thought I'm coming up with something to help you better, but instead of kudos, I get some negative remarks. Talk about disappointment!!! When I'm asking for Newsgroups, I'm not asking to get rid of Mailing list???? Come on, all other UNIX or LINUX, who has lots of newsgroup, has mailing list too. Am I wrong? Ok, granted you're sick and tired of all the Spam or whatever shit drives you nuts in the newsgroup, just read your mailing list. Hey, some people still likes newsgroups (Oh, I do think mailing list is a cool thing. really!). Again, you have to support anything that may makes things easier for newbies (well, you don't have to, you're expected to ;p ). Like the other person said in this mailing list "Even M$ has 100s of newsgroup related to its products" If you have mailing list only, a newbie may not know how to subscribe. I saw various Usenet messages where newbies asking, "How do I subscribe to this or that"---(doesn't it tell you, they have access to newsgroup before mailing list?). My co-worker next to me thinks just like you do."if they're not smart enough to subscribe to simple mailing list, may be they shouldn't even be using Linux" ----I think for people like him, Linux sometimes become the operating system choice for computer newbies. Shame on them!! ;p Anyway, I saw this often... one person would say something negative, and there goes a flow of people saying negative stuff about that.... ;p Some people doesn't even read the original message, they just wanna say NO he he he (No, I'm not talking about you, I'm just talking about them) Just another Regular Guy ---D Anich <fourkats(a)ihug.co.nz> wrote: > > > Brad Shelton wrote: > > > On Mon, 7 Dec 1998, Regular Guy wrote: > > > > > > > > Hi All, > > > I don't know why S.u.S.E doesn't have any newsgroup for their > > > product while other linux distributor has theirs? > > Ask SuSE.

Re: [SuSE Linux] Please. Information for a ThinkPad600, 1024
by linux1＠mail.crc.com 09 Dec '98

09 Dec '98

Not sure what your issues are, installing linux or the X server. But I found that the thinkpad 600 had a problem with bzimages. So when I installed, it would not reboot. I had to boot off the cd, say boot off installed system, then finish the installation. Then I had to rebuild the kernel making a zimage. Then the 600 would boot fine (I never needed the floppy=thinkpad) but did need the thinkpad boot disk off the Suse web site for 5.2 install (did'nt need it with 5.3). As far as the X server, in theory the chip should be supported under 5.3 (not 5.2) I use Xig Xserver and it works just fine (but costs money, around US$250 or something like that). - 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] Apache default directory

I've been playing with Apache, and it seems that, by default, the "root" directory for the httpd is /usr/docs/httpd/htdocs - in other words, if I type in the name of my Linux machine to a web browser, it opens index.html in that directory by default. Where is this defined? I have searched everywhere I can think of! I want my web server root directory to be elsewhere: can I define that in /etc/httpd/httpd.conf? Thanks for any help.

[SuSE Linux] ethernet problems: sorry, guys.

Hey, all. I've got everything working now. I am sorry to have bothered you about this. I am a bit too quick to run for help when I don't understand something. This time, the firewall was indeed the problem. There was some sort of memory problem (It's admined on an NT box, surprise), and all of the proxies had died. The telnet proxy was new, so it wasn't affected. Anyway, thanks to all for the suggestions. -Chris -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GCS/CC/MC d- s+:+ a-- C++ US P L++ E W++ N- o?

[SuSE Linux] Ethernet problems...
by mm211595＠oak.cats.ohiou.edu 08 Dec '98

08 Dec '98

Greetings, all. I am currently unsuccessful in getting my Ethernet card set up correctly, or so it would seem. I am behind a firewall (or would be if I could talk to it), first of all. Here's the deal: I have an SMC EtherPower 10/100 ethernet card, which has the Tulip 21140 chip onboard. So, I've selected that, and all seemed just fine. However, I can't seem to reach anything. My firewall(Which is also my DNS, in this case) is not reachable, I cannot ping it at 11.1.0.1, nor can I access any other services. There is one anomalous setup message. It seems fairly harmless, though. At boot time, I get a string of messages like this: eth0: Digital DS21140 Tulip an 0xfc80, 00 00 c0 2b 40 c8, IRQ 5 eth0: Old format EEPROM on 'SMC9332DST' board. Using substitute media control info. eth0: EEPROM default media type Autosense. eth0: Index #0 - Media 10baseT (#0) described by a 21140 non-MII (0) block. eth0: Index #1 - Media 100baseTx (#3) described by a 21140 non-MII (0) block. Does this look unusual to anyone? I'll admit that I don't know what those last two messages mean... Anyway, I would be quite happy to provide any more info as needed. I'd like to get the system up and running (SuSE 5.3 2.0.35 stock kernel on a Gateway P4D-66) so I can impress my employers. I am currently interning at a networking firm that deals mainly with Cisco and Lucent networking stuff. Unfortunately, they are just about 100% NT for their NOSes. While they will probably stick to that for awhile (due to customer demand), I want to show them that Linux can be a viable alternative. It's hard to do so when you can't even get on the network ;-) I apologize for being so naive about all of this. My setup background is almost entirely on a dialup basis. The Ethernet setup is one big black box for me. Thanks in advance! -Chris -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GCS/CC/MC d- s+:+ a-- C++ US P L++ E W++ N- o?

[SuSE Linux] ethernet problems: update
by mm211595＠oak.cats.ohiou.edu 08 Dec '98

08 Dec '98

Okay, I've gotten my card connected correctly now. It would seem that the PCI slot was bad. Now, on to my new set of problems :-) Some of my services are not working... Originally, I hit the firewall with telnet, but I had the admin let me out. However, I cannot use http, POP3, or any other services other than telnet. It's not even reaching the firewall. My original forays for the telnet session show up on the denial log, but there aren't any other entries. I get a "Connection refused" error for every page that I try. Now, I know that both my gateway and my nameserver work because I can get to my university account using the literal name (rather than the numerical IP address). Does anyone have any clue what could be blocking me within my machine? Which settings should I look at? One note: my domain name is bogus, but I am told that this would not matter. I am sorry for the scanty details, but I thought it would be better to ask you guys which files/settings to look at rather than dumping every config and logfile that I could find... Again, TIA :-) -Chris -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GCS/CC/MC d- s+:+ a-- C++ US P L++ E W++ N- o?

When I connect using kppp to my ISP they assigns an IP address for my machine how does this affect the Network? As you can guess I'm not really a 'network guy' so any help would be appreciated in most simple terms! (Also I'm trying to setup the following system any help much appreciated!!!!!) 1 server acting as file/print/fax server 4 workstations probably win95/nt connected to server (2/3 dial in accounts.... i.e people from home can dial in and use services.) Some sort of fax system to scan documents/print to fax probably hylafax but needs win clients. Network printing. any suggestions on best configuration. also... Is there any support for Infra-red under Linux... ? if so please give a blow by blow account! finally I have Suse on my Libretto when I put the machine into standby and later restart the machine either hangs or I basically cannot restart Kde until I reboot is this normal, are there any work arounds?

Log in as postgres and give the command initdb, i think, read the INSTALL file in /usr/doc/packages/postgres/ (im at work so im not sure) A database called template1 is created. then start the postmaster by typing postmaster. This is done automaticly the next time the computer is booted (I think) Then create a user... I havnt goten further myself, but now you should be able to log out from postgres and start working as an ordinary user, read the end of the INSTALL file, it has a section "playing with postgres" that ames at new users. Thats at least what im gonna do this eavning. Bye good luck.

You live in the US or have got a dedicated Internet connection right? I live in South Africa, which in common with much of Europe has time-based phone billing, and don't have the bandwidth for browsing a web-based message board. I like the mailing list format. The motivation that started this thread was that the poster didn't want to sift through hundreds of posts to find his answers. I think this is a benefit as I often see posts related to a problem I've had that may not have had a high enough priority for me to have tried to solve it yet. So I just keep it for later. Although I'm pretty much a Linux and SuSE newbie I am sometimes able to answer someone else's question.

[SuSE Linux] Install -Failure
by chris123＠netcom.ca 08 Dec '98

08 Dec '98

Greetings: I recently received a second 5.3 disc set from SuSE. Today I installed a complete system on another computer using this disc set. Interestingly enough when Yast calls for the second disc the red screen on death comes up with "incorrect disc", yet when i mount the disc and read its contents it looks ok to me. I have not had time to compare the discs from both sets yet (disc no.2) to see if there are any distinguishing errors but as stated it appears to be ok. Anyone run into this problem before?

[SuSE Linux] Colours with Linux terminals
by Stephane.Fromholtz＠dynamit-nobel.fr 08 Dec '98

Hie all, I want to change the color of Linux directories and executables files. Reading the 'Colours with Linux terminals' HOWTO, I do: dircolors -p > Test In Test, I've got : # Configuration file for dircolors, a utility to help you set the # LS_COLORS environment variable used by GNU ls with the --color option. # The keywords COLOR, OPTIONS, and EIGHTBIT (honored by the # slackware version of dircolors) are recognized but ignored. # Below, there should be one TERM entry for each termtype that is colorizable TERM linux TERM console TERM con132x25 TERM con132x30 TERM con132x43 TERM con132x60 TERM con80x25 TERM con80x28 TERM con80x30 TERM con80x43 TERM con80x50 TERM con80x60 TERM xterm TERM vt100 # Below are the color init strings for the basic file types.

Then dircolors says : Usage: dircolors [OPTION]... [FILE] If FILE is specified, read it to determine which colors to use for which file types and extensions. Otherwise, a precompiled database is used. omething like eval `dircolors ~/Test` doesn't work too. How to set this bloody LS_COLORS ls variable ? Did I make a mistake ? I want to put this line (when it will work) in my ~/.bashrc to make it run every time I log in. Thanks in advance.
