[S.u.S.E. Linux] MySQl RPM Failure
by chris123＠netcom.ca 02 Mar '98

02 Mar '98

Was installing mySQL using redhat rpms for the following, Perl5.004-2.i386, libc5.3.12-25 and mysSQL rpm. Interestingly Yast should an unpacking error with both the perl and mysql rpms. Libc installed fine. Is this the result of a cirrupted download is there something else going on that Im not aware of. Thanks for any insights into this. Im still fairly new to all this so any assitance would be appreciated. chris -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

Use YaST to start the ypserver, portmapper and also the yppasswdd (to enable remote changing of passwords). Also make sure that your server is also configured as a client, it should bind to itself. Check if the demons are running with rpcinfo -p localhost. You should have the portmapper,ypbind, ypserv and yppasswd running. ypinit should be found in /usr/lib/yp use ypinit -m or ypinit -s masterserver to create the ypdatabases or get them from the master. remember that this directory is usually not in your path so use the full path to run ypinit. also make sure that your master server knows about your machine if you install it as slave server, so it automatically sends you updated versions of its databases. ypmake can be used on a masterserver to update single databases. use ypwhich (whoŽs server) ypcat (whatŽs in the database) commands to check your connections. hope this helps Mario -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

If you have a pnp card, you should download the isapnp tools (unless your distribution comes with it ie. SuSE, rh, Caldera). Read up on how to find out your pnp settings, and how to configure your sound modules (assuming your card is sound blaster compatible). Run you pnp configure as the instructions say, then install your sound module... You will hear a pop as you do wwhen you first turn your computer on... ...

[S.u.S.E. Linux] lesstif
by maylward＠sunny.gis.uwa.edu.au 02 Mar '98

02 Mar '98

Hi guys, I am using SuSE 5.1 and would like to use lesstif for a couple of things. Especially to compile the "msfsm" motif file system manager. I have tried "xdf" but the values it gives never agree with a df command, so it is very misleading. I thought I saw lesstif listed in SuSE 5.0 or 4.4 but I cannot find them on the ftp site. Is lesstif available as a SuSE rpm? My attemps to compile lesstif on SuSE 5.1 have been unsuccessful. Any other graphical file system monitor would be ok if there is one. Thanks in advance.

You didn't mention what kind of card you have. One note: the HOWTO mentions that some cards require the OLD configuration (i.e. not make xconfig or make menuconfig just make config) I also needed to load the DOS PnP driver before loadlin to get my Acer Aw32 (CS4232) to be initialized.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] Questions about swap and routing
by scohen＠home.com 02 Mar '98

02 Mar '98

I have two completely unrelated questions (well they are both about suse linux). I noticed that when my swap partition gets initialized at boot up, it says it has a priority -1. What does that mean? I also noticed that my swap partition isn't being used (I checked with the "free" command and via the graphical utility that comes up in xwindows by default). Is that because of this priority -1? I just got a cable modem. It runs fine in win95, but I can't seem to get it running in linux. I am guessing I have the routing screwed up somehow. The thing is, I have a static IP so this should be easy. Let me give out the particulars. My IP = 24.3.25.87 subnetmask = 255.255.255.0 (Class A that is subnetted) Default Gateway = 24.3.25.1 DNS IP = 24.3.0.33, 24.3.0.34 DNS Name = CC372705-A Domain Name = catv1.md.home.com I set up route.conf like this: 24.3.25.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 eth1 (I have another nic that is eth0) default 24.3.25.1 255.255.255.0 eth1 when I looked at the route table, it shows that I am on the 24.3.25 network and the default gateway is 24.3.25.1. I figured that was all I needed, but I seem to be wrong. I can't ping anything on the outside world. I can't even ping the DNS in linux (I can in win95). What am I doing wrong?

I've just got to comment on some nice things. Afterstep vs1.0 - NICE! - easy, clean and definitely not greedy. Vs 1.4 looks like being much the same. TkDesk vs1.0b4 - Try it - its GOOD. (These two were revisited after reading the LJ articles - I'm glad I did!!) TkRat (MUA) - Now THIS is ....GREAT.
