[S.u.S.E. Linux] Question about kernel options and GTK
by suse＠wavenet.it 23 Apr '98

23 Apr '98

I would like to know which options were set (Yes-No-Module) when people at S.u.S.E. compiled the kernel (2.0.33 - no SCSI) packaged with SuSE 5.1 distribution. I would like to compile an application that requires GTK 1.0. Unfortunately, SuSE 5.1 installs GTK 0.97 so I downloaded and compiled successfully GTK 1.0 but when I tried to remove my old GTK, I got an error saying that libgtk.so.1, libglib.so.1 and libgdk.so.1 are needed by gimp-0.99.15-4. If I force GTK 0.97 removal, and install GTK 1.0, would GIMP complain about the new libraries or not? Thanks for your help. Bye. -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

[S.u.S.E. Linux] Tkman in SuSe 5.1
by alfiesty＠chaffee.net 23 Apr '98

23 Apr '98

I am still learning Linux. I have fvwm95 running fairly well and am trying various programs on the 5.1 disk set. I started TkDesk and then Tkman. When Tkman came up it said that it was updating the database. 26 HOURS later it was still not done! At that time according to the little performance monitor it was using 100 I hear all this talk about how much faster Linux is than W95, but I have NEVER has a process take 26 hours on any W95 machine I have. The box in question is a Cyrix NX586-90 with 32M, 64M swap and a HP 1.3Gig HD. What was it doing for 26 hours?

This is very usefull while using the // Zip and a printer. I don't work for SUSE (actually, I haven't gotten around to configuring a SUSE system yet), but you questions can be answered on generally basis. The drivers and the kernel module loading/unloading are standard linux kernel features, and should be present (or at least possible) in all linux distributions. And yes, from the documentation which is available via the net (the SUSE manual is available via ftp) it looks like SUSE is quite flexible in letting you deal with modules. - Peter -- Peter N. M.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] XFree86
by hattons＠CPKWEBSER5.ncr.disa.mil 23 Apr '98

23 Apr '98

I have some questions regarding XFree86. 1) Can anybody tell me if it is likely that the support for Matrox Millennium II cards might be improved so that the card can be used to their full capabilities? Right now the color depth and refresh rates are far below what the card can handle. 2) Is it possible that the problem that I and others have with long downloads "going to sleep" in netscape could be related to XFree86? 3) Stardivision says that some people don't have the dreaded PS/2 bug. Could it be that this problem is related to the windows driver? Dee, You don't use XFree86, do you have problems with a PS/2 mouse and StarOffice 4.0? You said that you don't have a problem with Netscape going to sleep on long ftp downloads. Is this still what you are experiencing? -- "Alles Vergaengliche Ist nur ein Gleichniss" -Goethe, as quoted in Ludwig Boltzmann's Vorlessungen ueber Gastheorie. -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

You need the source of cat !?!

[S.u.S.E. Linux] Question to an Kernelupgrade Kernel 2.1.xx ....
by Marius.Augenstein＠alcatel.de 22 Apr '98

22 Apr '98

Hy there I've just downloaded the new kernel 2.1.97 to try it out. I read the softwarerequirements and saw that it is necessary to upgrade very much. Will the system be instable when I install all this new stuff (especially the new glibc ....) ?? Is there somebody who tryed it ?? I'm running S.u.S.E. 5.1. There are two additional question to all the guys from SuSE. Will the next Version (5.3 ??) depend on glibc/libc6 ?? And, will you include the free simulation software Ptolemy in one of the next releases ??

Re: [S.u.S.E. Linux] Problems with Wabi 2.2

> You're stuck with 8 bit color. You should check out Michaels web site > at <A HREF="http://eunuchs.org/"><A HREF="http://eunuchs.org/</A">http://eunuchs.org/</A</A>> , he has some good info on wabi. > > Dana Hy Dana Thanks for your reply. But Michael has the same problem with the color depth. He writes that it is necessary to switch the /etc/Xaccell.ini file for the actual needs. It seems to be that wabi can't handle depths above 8 bit. There is a section in the manual which describes how to run wabi under 24 bit. But this description means that the display must support PseudoColor in this mode. I found out that for 16 bit only TrueColor as "Visual Class" is supported. If I'm wrong please correct me. It seems to be that this is the reason for the failure. Anyhow, thanks for your fast help. Michaels site (to the others: try it) <A HREF="http://eunuchs.org/sitemap.html"><A HREF="http://eunuchs.org/sitemap.html</A">http://eunuchs.org/sitemap.html</A</A>> contains very useful information (not only about Linux).
