[S.u.S.E. Linux] Mounting a Sun OS (Solaris 2.6) ufs file system
by cparman＠cyberramp.net 06 Jun '98

06 Jun '98

Hi All I have a HD with Solaris 2.6 installed and its running fine. I was wondering why I can't seem to be able to 'mount' any of the Solaris partitions? I have re-compiled the 2.0.33 kernel and enabled all file system drivers that pertain to the Sun (Solaris) operating system (the file system drivers are compiled as modules). If anyone has any suggestions to add or a possible solution, please feel free to respone. Thank you for your help on the problem. By the way, my Adaptec 2940UW problem is solved. I forgot to configure the Adaptec BIOS setup :) Regards, -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

[S.u.S.E. Linux]Newbie Laser Printing
by mappleby＠mwci.net 06 Jun '98

How do I print non-landscape to my HPIIIp laser printer? The laser is set to portrate. I have looked through S.u.S.E.'s Linux manual and Sam's Unix System V Primer and can't find a reference to print in portrate / landscape. This seems like it should be a basic function. YaST does seem to give this option. Mitch Appleby -- 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]Floppy copy

How to mount a floppy drive? How to format a floppy? How to copy a file to a floppy? I have looked through S.u.S.E.'s Linux manual and Sam's Unix System V Primer and can't find answeres to the above. Any clues as to doing these functions? Seems like basic basic stuff. I need to transfer (sneeker network) files from a Linux machine at work and another at home.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] No package in 5.2 ?
by deem＠wdm.com 06 Jun '98

As Jamie Zawinski has an excellent app named Xscreensaver, is it possible to get an official SuSE rpm of this ? I think it should seriously be looked at for inclusion on the SuSE distribution.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] 2.0.34 and ppp
by satan＠nfinity.com 06 Jun '98

06 Jun '98

I have compiled 2.0.34 with gcc 2.7.2.1 and with egcs 1.0.3a, and both resulting kernels broke my ppp, and recompiling pppd did not remedy this. I am back to using 2.0.33 with no irregularities. Anyone else have trouble with ppp in 2.0.34? ======================================================================= "I was playing poker the other night ... with Tarot cards.

Hi, You did more or less everything right, but : If you use this SCSI controller as a boot device the driver MUST be included in the kernel and not compiled as module. The cdrom will work as module fine. Regards, Stefan > >Hi All > > I'm tyring get my adaptec 2940 scsi controler to work in SuSE 5.1.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] Caching problem?
by gecko＠benham.net 06 Jun '98

06 Jun '98

Here's an interesting one. Since we unfortunatly have to ship products on Win31, still, I have a Win31 machine on my desk next to my Linux box. I edit in Linux and store all my source in a directory that's Samba shared. My Win31 machine mounts that directory and compiles as needed. Twice now, I've edited the file in my Linux box, gone to the dos machine and the changes are not there. Don't see them. If I close the DOS box in windows and open another one, the changes show... who's caching and where might I find the problem or info to lead me in that direction? ---------------------------------- <A HREF="http://benham.net/index.html"><A HREF="http://benham.net/index.html</A">http://benham.net/index.html</A</A>> -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GCS d+(-) s:+ a29 C++$ UL++>++++ P+++$ L++>++++ E?

[S.u.S.E. Linux] Adaptec 2940 scsi controler
by cparman＠cyberramp.net 06 Jun '98

Hi All I'm tyring get my adaptec 2940 scsi controler to work in SuSE 5.1. I recompiled the latest 2.0.33 kernel (actually downloaded it from the suse ftp site, from the 5.2 version). I enabled the driver for the scsi controler modular (aic7xxx driver) and I enabled the scsi cdrom device modular, as well. The compiliation went well I re-booted my machine and no scsi controler was detected (so I didn't worry too much). I then login in as root and preceeded to manually install the scsi controler driver using this command 'insmod aic7xxx.o', then the trouble begain. I couldn't get the prompt (I had to bring up another xterm) I couldn't 'kill' the PID# pertaining to the command 'insmod aic7xxx.o' and the system load started to rise. Thus, I had to shut the system down and reboot. I believe I did everything right as far as the compiliation of the kernel and enabling the right drivers. I just don't know what could be causing this to happen. If anyone has suggestion as to what might be causing this problem and a solution to go along with it, please feel free to respone.

I added the modem as the second serial port (DOS=>COM2:). This is /dev/ttyS1 on my system. Assuming that your modem is on the second serial port, it sounds right. I ignored the modem inits. The defaults were good enough. You have installed suseppp? >..and onbootup it tells me there are no such files as: >//tmp/suse_ppp$$$..or...tmp/suse_ppp$$$/diald Did you use yast or set up the files by hand? Yast does a fairly good job (with some slightly annoying exceptions). You just need to remember to set up basic networking first and then configure PPP. Also, as far as I can tell from the poking around I did, if you don't live in a German speaking country, just use "generic" as the name of your ISP. >do i need diald for ppp? and if so how do i get the diald properties to >show up??? You don't need diald, but since I live in the US and don't have to pay for connect time (I would still trade this for reasonable ISDN rates), I configured diald to bring up the connection when my computer comes up. It then tries to keep it up all the time. Works for me. However, there is a bug in the scripts that set up diald. They don't copy all the config files correctly to the right places. Look in the SuSE help database on the SuSE website. They have a note on it.
