george, email is delivered via tcp, but not controlled by it... sendmail will make the attempt for 3-5 days (configurable by someone I'm sure).... I don't know how much detail you want there, so I'll end there! dc ---------- From: George Toft To: suse-linux-e Subject: [SuSE Linux] E-mail Delayed? Date: Monday, December 28, 1998 10:41AM I'v noticed several of my e-mails that I sent out on Dec 6th, have just arrived to their recipients. (Insert sarchastic remark about US Postal Service here). How can this be? I thought there was a time-to-live associated with TCP packets, therefore, the e-mails should die? What's the scoop?

[SuSE Linux] Compiling Kernet
by millerd＠bconnex.net 28 Dec '98

28 Dec '98

I have attempted to recompile my kernel suse5.3 to add networking The recompile worked without problems, I used the instructions in the Linux network book by Butzen and Hilton. However when I went to restart the kernel the startup ran for a few lines and then said it could not start a console. System is a 133Mhz intel pentium and a houston board. Any help on how to determine what I did wrong and correct this would be appreciated. I'm using my previous kernel in the meantime.

[SuSE Linux] TIFF-lib problem??
by Ted.Harding＠nessie.mcc.ac.uk 28 Dec '98

28 Dec '98

Does anyone know if there is a problem with tifflib (at any rate in SuSE-5.1)? I have a file "test1.tif" (which is a TIFF test file that came with Recognita-Plus OCR software that came with my scanner). If I try to view this file using xv, ImageMagick or the GIMP, or if I use the utility "tiffinfo" on it, then I get the following error messages: test1.tif: Warning, unknown field with tag 292 (0x124) ignored. TIFFFillStrip: test1.tif: Read error on strip 0; got 76536 bytes, expected 76537. bad data read on line 0 On the other hand, the original OCR software reads it OK, MS-Word (under WABI) imports it OK, and WordPerfect-8, StarOffice and Applixware (all Linux ports) all import it OK. I think the error messages must be coming from the libtiff library. So either: A: all the different software packages which can read it are relaxed about a fault which is present in the file, which libtiff is stringent about; or: B: the software packages which can read it are behaving correctly and the file is in fact OK, but there is something about it which libtiff cannot cope with properly when it should be able to. Can anyone say which is the case here?

Re: [SuSE Linux] RedHat RPMs
by yvb＠zdnetmail.com 28 Dec '98

28 Dec '98

The nice thing about rpm is that it checks if it will work before it installs, so if it needs a glibc2 it will tell you so and stop, so there is little risk that something goes wrong. I should say rpm for rh5.0 or smaller will work, others perhaps, but won't do any wrong.

[SuSE Linux] Goofy Graphics on Console Screen
by glenwade＠swbell.net 28 Dec '98

28 Dec '98

While working on compiling a program, I "grep"d for a function name, but inadvertantly left off the ".c" file extension. When grep displayed a line of one of the object code files, the display began to display all the lowercase characters as graphic (linedraw?) characters. I can log off, log back in, kill and restart the getty, but to no avail. The stty command shows nothing unusual for this tty, and stty sane doesn't change anything. I've seen this happen while using terminal emulation, and resetting the emulation software cleans it up. Of course, rebooting will fix it as well. I just wondered if anyone knew a handy-dandy command to fix this short of a reboot. Rebooting seems so... un-UN*X...

[SuSE Linux] KDE 1.1
by paspartu＠uni.net 28 Dec '98

KDE 1.1 is going to be realesed. I think that it will not be in the 6.0 release, but I'm sure there will be sooner or later some rpms in the ftp SuSE tree. The question is: users with a SuSE release prior 6.0 may use such an rpm or they have to compile the source?

So you don't need to recompile to get long names mounting windows partitions. The latest "released" kerenl is 2.0.36. Kernels that are 2.1.xxxx are development kernels, your milage may very. A new "released" kerenel is suupose to be coming out, 2.2.xxx, but isn't here yet. I have heard jumping to a 2.1.xxx kerenel requires a lot of other tools, so follow the readme carefully (I know SuSE 6.0 all ready has all it need to handle a 2.1, 2.2 kerenl). - 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>>
