I think that the LS120's are ATAPI devices. Make sure that you have installed drivers for those. There might be a HOWTO at the LDP. Go to <A HREF="http://www.ssc.com/linux"><A HREF="http://www.ssc.com/linux</A">http://www.ssc.com/linux</A</A>> and search around a little bit for a reference to the Linux Documentation Project, then look for HOWTOs. I think I remember seeing one for ATAPI devices. Mostly ATAPI devices are CDROMs, so the docs might lean toward that.

I want to take a moment to thank the people that took a look at my configs for PPP. After almost five long months of tinkering, I finally have a Linux system that I can use for Internet access. Thanks again. I promise to share what little knowledge I have to anyone who needs assistance.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] ppp-off script

> One more question about my ppp connection. My ppp-off script is trying to kill 'ppp0'. However, it does not exist in 'ps'. I have to actually kill 'pppd' in order to get the connection to close. Why does 'ppp0' not show up?? Can I change the ppp-off script to kill 'pppd'?

[S.u.S.E. Linux] No ./core dump for debugging (pls help)
by hettar＠teleport.com 14 Jun '98

14 Jun '98

Hello SuSE, I am kinda new to this so bear with me, hey have to start somewhere. I am trying to debug a X wm, I need to get a ./core file dump of a certain wm when killing (or was killed) while in a wm. I useually use Xnest332 ;) so I can stay alive on my screen, but anyways no matter. The thing is that I need to run somthing like this: gdb blackbox ./core bt and then save whats there into a file format, provided it gives filenames and line numbers I have done su-c (root) set : ulimit -c unlimited and ulimit -c does show unlimited from a 0 before setting.. This should let ./core files be generated.. But if I type on console: gdb blackbox ./core it tells me no such file or directory (everytime) I would like to know why this is not working. I would like to know how to fix it, even if you send me off to read a manual page ;) Or maybe SuSE dumps ./core into a different file name? Well, maybe not as an: ulimit -c, at a boot up time shows my limit to be back down at 0, and I need to have unlimited there. Also I'd like to have ./core dumps from any user not just root. as I debug while on IRC to chat with the writter of the wm ;) Steve Udell Xnest ROCKS ;) hettar(a)teleport.com -- 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] Printing problem
by cparman＠cyberramp.net 14 Jun '98

14 Jun '98

Hi All I'm having a bit of a problem with the printer configuration. The problem is that when I send a print job (using 'lpr /etc/passwd' ....for example) to the printer, the result is the contents of the print job is only printed in the lower-left hand corner of the paper and is displayed in 'landscape' orientation. Also the print is very small. I have a HP deskjet-520 non-color printer. If anyone has any suggestion please feel free to reply to this e-mail post. Thank you for your help in advance.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] SuSE 5.3
by hettar＠teleport.com 14 Jun '98

14 Jun '98

reposting cause of netscape screwed up my message with line returns that I did not put there :( I would deleate the old msg myself but it didn't work ---------------------------------- Why SuSE 5.3? I can't imagine what the differences that SuSE 5.3 will have over 5.2 SuSE. Only reason I see that SuSE 5.3 will be released is their dedication to release a new SuSE every 4 months or so. Which by it-self has me wondering, do I really need 5.3? (yes I am on the subscribe to SuSE updates). I would really like not to be the "last one on the block" to be able to use one new feature such as glibc2. I know maybe the delay is for maybe to be able to put in 2.2.0 Kernel with the SuSE 6.0 as they just released 2.1.105 with HAM radio drivers (which is to me looking like they about finished with the 2.1.XX development)=(they throwing all the bells and whistles in). I would very much like to figure out how to tweak my current box to support the now linux standard of glibc2. Everything is going that way, why wait. Linux is for testing/haveing fun/tweaking/hacking you name it. Seeing the RH users having fun/trubbles with it, and seeing Debian get tons of support + having their beta 2.0 called HAMM is getting me jealous. Kernel 2.0.34 is out and stable from what I have heard, SuSE "heavly - patches" thier Kernels, so in waiting for SuSE to update thier ftp site with .34, I am wonder what they patch exacly to make it thier own version of the Kernel thus making it un-pactchable by some of the standard patches for the Linux Kernels, this is fustrating. I could use a standard-out-of-the-box Kernel source-tree, I have before, so I am wondering as stated above what makes the -suse kernels so different/ should I wait? I did notice that most distros have to append LILO if they have over 32Megs of RAM but I have never had that problem. I really enjoy SuSE, it is keeping pretty much standard to the Linux community. Unlike lets say Red Hat, which strays by putting in thier "easy-to-use-config" programs which are not standard, and making people who help RH users "Have" to be Red Hat users themselfs. But RH over all is a good distro as all of them are. This is not over the .rpm management program. Steve Udell hettar(a)teleport.com sudell(a)teleport.com So does SuSE have a wish list, to like make comments on what they should have on a up-and-comming distro of thiers? if so where do I find it? -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

I had the same experience. You would not happen to be trying to use the file /usr/src/linux/vmlinux ? After compile the actual kernel resides under /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/. I am assuming an x86 machine. Try the file zImage, it should be a better size.

I used xconfig to make a new kernel, and at the end of 'make zImage' I got 2 errors, basically saying that the kernel (system?) was too big (it is slightly over 1 meg). I can't understand this, since I cut nearly everything to the quick. My stand-alone system has no networking, etc.. How did my kernel get this large? I tried installing it anyway, and 'lilo' kicked out saying that the kernel (system) is too big, so back to the old kernel, which was the default kernel from my install (which is about 1/2 meg). ----------------------------------------------- Man's mind is his basic tool of survival!

your route.conf file needs to be updated. Take out the default route setting, rerun SuSECONFIG. Then try it. Not sure why you set it up for default to the dummy route.
