[S.u.S.E. Linux] OSS drivers.
by fmiller＠lightlink.com 21 Jun '98

21 Jun '98

I download the OSS driver package from OSS...twice. I chose the 2.0X "flavor" as I assumed it would work with SuSE 5.2. NO listing is given for SuSE...why is beyond me. Anyway, the *.gz file will NOT unzip. It's frustrating enough to have a new "box" with a AWE-64 in and not get any sound. It's much worse to be trying to understand Linux and work with a lame file all at the same time. Does anyone have this file uncorrupted, that they wouldn't mind file attaching?

[S.u.S.E. Linux] Book Recomendations?
by hattons＠cpkwebser5.ncr.disa.mil 20 Jun '98

20 Jun '98

Has anybody read _Inside Linux_? (www.suse.com/Books/LSSC07.html) I am looking for a good book that is apropreate for the computer professional who is seeking an overview of Linux at a reasonably sofisticated level. I would also like to know if there is anything good online regarding Linux theory. I am particularly interested in how X-Windows works.

As sound is important to me, I asked the OSS folks this morning and here's the reply below. (OSS costs a measly $20.00 and it's well worth it to get the commercial version. For my AWE64 Gold it draws the best out.) >>>>> Forwarded message from 4Front Technologies <info(a)opensound.com> W.D.McKinney wrote: > > Greetings, > > Does the commercial version of OSS for Linux support the > Ensoniq 32 PCI sound card ? Thanks again, > Hi, OSS supports the Ensoniq AudioPCI as well as the Creative Sound Blaster PCI/64 but I'm not sure what is Ensoniq 32PCI. In order to run the AudioPCI drivers you will have to get a license upgrade with the AudioPCI option. Or you can test is by installing the 7 day trial version which has all the options enabled. best regards tech support -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- 4Front Technologies 4035 Lafayette Place, Unit F, Culver City, CA 90232, USA.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] Netscape Offline: Continued
by hlarons＠ComCAT.COM 20 Jun '98

20 Jun '98

I briught up this topic on the list awhile ago. I have since learned that deleting the ~/.netscape dir and rerunning netscape to regen all the files solves (part) of the problem. I can now compose _new_ messages while offline. However, attempting to _reply_ to an existing message still causes a hang. When that happens, the following message continues to scroll on the xterm that I launched netscape from, until I kill Netscape: "Warning: Select Failed; error code 9" Does anyone have any idea what this means?

[S.u.S.E. Linux] TKDesk and Netscape
by phil＠stokes.demon.co.uk 20 Jun '98

20 Jun '98

Using SuSE 5.2, whenever I try to start Netscape, either from the App Bar, or by clicking on an .html file displayed in TKDesk, I get an error window that says "Alert! Can't execute: netscape". This happens whether or not Netscape is already running. I can start it from the fvwm2 menu and from the console without any problems. Does anyone know what I need to do to get it to start from within TKDesk?
