Yes, but if you have to connect to an ISP that uses MCHAP (CHAP 80) you have to recompile to get the support. Or at least you use to. And it compiled straight out for me, no issues.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] Bug in ld.so or what
by ingi＠elit.se 11 Aug '98

Hi I installed the QT 1.40 to begin development on Linux, but I'm out of luck in the startup because I get the following error message when I try to run on of the example program (menu) The error message is: BUG IN DYNAMIC LINKER ld.so: ../sysdeps/i386/dl-machine.h: 291: elf_machine_rel: Assertion `! "unexpected dynamic reloc type"Ž failed! When I run ldd on the program i.e. ldd menu I get: libqt.so.1 => /usr/local/qt/lib/libqt.so.1 ... libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 ... libstdc++.so.2.8 => /usr/local/lib/libstdc++.so.2.8 ... libm.so.6 => /usr/local/lib/libm.so.6 ... libc.so.6 => /usr/local/lib/libc.so.6 ... /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /usr/local/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x00000000) I dont know where to start. Reinstalling Linux and upgrading gcc and recompiling everything is not an option (it would take me another week, I've already done it twice).

Hi all, Recently I upgraded to Glibc-2 (from libc ver. 5 to libc ver. 6 I think!) My problem now is that libc.so.5 is said not to be found. For example when I enter the command: ldd `which man` gives my following output: libgz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libgz... libdb.so.1 => /usr/lib/libdb... libc.so.5 => not found I have according to Glibc-2 howto, left a copy of libc.so.5 in both /usr/lib and /lib because '/usr' is not on the same filesystem as '/' The order of directories in ld.so.conf.in is: /usr/i486-linuxlibc5/lib /usr/local/lib /usr/lib /usr/X11R6/lib/Xaw3d /usr/X11R6/lib /opt/kde/lib I run SuSEconfig to install the new ld.so.conf Does anyone have a clue? regards -- Ingvaldur /---------------------------+------------------------/ ( ingi(a)elit.se | Quote to come...

[S.u.S.E. Linux] pppd 2.3.5

Because I have seen many people having problems compiling pppd, I have stayed away from it completely and continue to use the pppd and diald supplied on the on the SuSE 5.2 CDROM. I don't recall what version of pppd I'm using but it's something like 2.2.0f I think. Maybe SuSE 5.3 will include pppd 2.3.x?

I think that the last pre-release used QT 1.4, but then when 1.0 shipped, it wanted 1.33. At least, the site I got KDE from only had that release of QT. I remember some discussion about that.

Look in /etc/ppp/options and remove any lines that look like "/dev/ttyS..." or "/dev/cua...". Also take out anything that looks like a baud rate, such as 38400 or 57600. That should fix it up.

They are not even in the select box at the login-screen. Only fvwm is there but it's the same like KDE.

I found that you have to install them in a Particular order. First the kdelibs then the kdebase then the rest it doesn't matter. If you try to install the kdebase before the libs it wouldn't let you, you get an error. I never used the kwm-login-screen, so I can't comment on it.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] Two Issues after Kernel Compile
by hlarons＠ComCAT.COM 11 Aug '98

11 Aug '98

I have compiled a "customized" 2.0.33 kernel for myself, after checking the HOW-TOs and following threads in this list. I now have a 300k kernel that boots without a problem and works fine, as far as I can tell. Except... Issue 1: At boot time, dmesg shows nothing amiss. However, when I start pppd (compiled into the kernel), the message "localhost syslog: IPX support is not present in the kernel". OK, I _know_ that, I do not use Netware, am not on Ethernet, and so I excluded IPX from the kernel. I commented out the IPX lines from /etc/services, but no joy. What should I do to eliminate the message, or should I bother about it? Issue 2: I haven't upgraded the kernel, only recompiled it. My previous modules seem to work OK. Need I do a 'make modules_install' or am I headed for trouble if I don't?

I think that you removed the inetd (Internet deamon) from your /etc/rc.config. it should be inetd="yes" with SuSE you can also switch it of in server administration. I think you probably did that by accident. If you use YaST and configure the network and it asks you to run the inetd answer yes.

Yes Paul; ofcourse there is a NAT in Linux. You only have to recompile your kernel. WIth the following options (I remember them all) Masquerading/Firewall Optimize Host as router Uhhmm, send me rour e-mail address, I will send you my kernel config file, (I'm at work and I forget those things (there is a third property). It is also been written in the SuSE handbook! Then in RC.CONFIG,you have to siwtch on masquerading and masqueradingdevice="eth0" (for example) setup masq. for ethernet (in my case ppp0).

Hey Mike, I'm Raymond, I bought SuSE Linux for about 1 year ago. On e of the reasons I'm hooked on it, is because the documentation, (in the book) goes further where other distribuntions stop. Though ofcourse it isn't a complete manual, but alot of things just clear up a mist, so that the online docs, are better understandable. And yes you should wait for 5.3, the book is thicker (more info), and it comes with one extra CD (not 4 but 5), CD's that means more packages. The release date for 5.3 englisch is set for the 27 th of August. CU ---------- Van: Mick Gower <linux(a)dexter.demon.co.uk> Aan: suse-linux-e(a)suse.com Onderwerp: Re: [S.u.S.E.

That did the trick and so I can now use the Win95 driver for the HP 4P with the "raw" printer on my SuSE host. I still had some problems with that extra page being included after each print job. It no longer had any garbage/postscript stuff on it but what a waste of paper. I finally tracked the problem down to the "/etc/apsfilterrc.ljet4" file.

Re: [S.u.S.E. Linux] Re: xterm problem: unwanted highlighting in reverse video
by bresnan＠stanford.edu 11 Aug '98

11 Aug '98

The following fixed the problem: I first removed the XF86 package (using YAST), and then reinstalled it on top of my Accelerated X installation. Then I merely symlinked `X' to the Xaccel server without making any other changes (using my previous Xaccel.ini file). Now xterm behaves normally. A private msg I received from Ted Harding indicates that installing Accelerated X 4.1 puts in a lot of stuff including an xterm. Just installing the server itself may be the way to preserve the working SuSE configurations. ...Now if only I could fix Xemacs, which is still broken from my Accelerated X installation....

When I am in Win98, I am running Sygate to translate Internet traffic bidirectionally. There is not need for proxy settings, and the client machines don't need any changes, whatsoever. Right now, the client machines are using the Internel IP as their DNS, Gateway, Mail Server, etc.... It is done that way because data is naturally translated. Now, can I replicate the above in Linux without changing the client machines. Isn't there some type of NAT software that can do this type of network translation?

[S.u.S.E. Linux] getting a gui ppp dialup

I have tried Kppp and ezppp with my modem (externel USR x2), but whenever I try to get a connection, both of these programs return the message "the ppp daemon died unexpectedly!". I can get a command line ppp up easy enough, but I am going to be setting up a linux box for someone who probably doesn't have the ability to learn linux quick enough. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] Extra page printing from Win95 clients.
by tschlemmer＠gmswireless.com 11 Aug '98

11 Aug '98

I setup one of my SuSE 5.2 boxes to use Samba and everything seems to work. The only strange and somewhat wasteful thing that occurs is whenever I print from one of my Win95 boxes to my Samba server, the job prints fine but I get one extra page with some Postscript garbage like so (I'm approximating it as I can't recall exactly what comes after the "LastPage" but this is very close to what I'm seeing: % [ LastPage... ] % My printer is an HP 4P that does PCL only. I set it up using YaST and it works fine other than the extra page printing problem. I setup the Win95 boxes to use HP 4L/M Postscript. I didn't see a generic HP 4 Postscript driver available in Win95 but the 4L was a fairly low-end model like my 4P. The 4P is 600x600dpi while the 4L is 300x300 dpi I believe. This problem is even more fun when printing envelopes...

[S.u.S.E. Linux] request-route - looping
by kla＠fh-landshut.de 10 Aug '98

10 Aug '98

Hello David, I very much favour your web-page www.xnet.com/~efflandt/linux on behalf of the dial-on-demand-technique via /sbin/request-route. However I came recently upon the problem, that my ISP unpredictably interrupts the login process and request-route is going on and on to redial, because it couldn't satisfy the request otherwise. As the login process is cut off immediately after establishing the connection, this could result in permanent blocking of the phone line by the continous redial attempts and quite a large phone bill. Is there a way to limit the redial attempts via /sbin/request-route for a certain request ? Thanks for your infos, Herbert _____________________________________________ Herbert Betz - Landshut - herbertbetz(a)csi.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] Setting up a comserver on dynamic IP?
by hattons＠CPKWEBSER5.ncr.disa.mil 10 Aug '98

10 Aug '98

Hi folks, I have been busy for the last few days and didn't check my mail since friday. Between the S.u.S.E, Ssh, and KDE lists I had 600 new messages! Wow! Of course this is not why I am writing. I am trying to figure out a way that I can set up a small ethernet network in my house and have one of the servers dial up my ISP and act as a gateway to the rest of the world. I am not sure that Masquerading is the solution. Has anybody ever done this? The biggest problem, as I see it, is that I always get a different IP from my ISP. I am trying to read the stuff on firewalls and masquerading. I came across a comment in the firewall section that indicated I needed to set up a static IP address. I don't mind going in and changing a config file by hand each time I make a connection if I must. I'm sure this could eventually be scripted. My time is limited so I would like to know if someone can point me in the direction of a workable solution. Here's the vision of the final product. The comserver is a 486 /w 16M of RAM, a 350 M HD, a 3c509TP and a USR 288/33.6 modem. The other systems have TP 3com cards running NT, 98 or Linux as my needs arise. I plan on using the 486 as strictly a LINUX box. Any ideas? Oh yea, in the long run I would like to switch between ISPs as well.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] Sendmail: how to change my 'from' mail address?
by to.avi＠usa.net 10 Aug '98

10 Aug '98

While trying to set up mutt as my mailer I ran into a problem I don't have with Netscape (since they don't use sendmail). I am trying to set my from line to say 'to.avi(a)usa.net' (which is my virtual e-mail address) rather then whatever sendmail tries to stick in there. My user name on my machine is 'avi'. I followed the instructions in the SDB and 1) set the FROM_HEADER in rc.config to FROM_HEADER="usa.net" and executed SuSEconfig. 2) set the /etc/mail/genericstable to contain the (only) line avi to.avi(a)usa.net and executed SuSEconfig. 3) restarted sendmail This doesn't seem to work. My mail messages still show:

Motherboard ASUS SP97-V, SiS 5582/5598 Memory 64 MB Harddisks: Primary Master Maxtor 1.3 GB WIN95 Second. Master ATAPI CD-ROM Primary Master Maxtor 4,.3 GB WIN95 Second.

Nevertheless installing the "Small System without XFree86" was successfull. Then I copied some of the user programmes (e.g. sound, graphics) from the CD. But when the internal configuration via the Suse-Script begins I get e.g. the error messages: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- /lib/YaST/bootsetup.config started Setting up Perl ...... /lib/YaST/bootsetup.conf line 22: 2852 Segmentation fault (core dumped) /usr/bin/h2ph $h > /dev/null --> other error messages and then: Kernel panic: VFS: iget with sb==Null ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- I installed this operating system several times without any problems on 486/80MHz computer. But I have no idea what happens in this case. I would appreciate, if someone could help me. Thanks in advance H.-J.

As soon as I subscribe this list I had a cuple of questions which where quickly replyed with the right solution. However I never said "thaks" because I feel that is better to give my help to others, as I may try to do it. But I also agree that a confirmation that all work can help us.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] live filesystem uninstall problems
by suse_list＠hotmail.com 10 Aug '98

10 Aug '98

Hi all, I'm a newbie and running Suse5.2. I installed the live-filesystem just to check it out, I don't have any huge need for it. So I then uninstalled it using YAST's disconnect live filesystem option and it didn't return my system back to how it was before I installed it. Whenever I use YAST now and it runs the SuSEconfigure program I get the following list of errors: /sbin/ldconfig: warning: can't open /usr/X11R6/lib/libfbm.so (No such file or directory), skipping /sbin/ldconfig: warning: can't open /usr/X11R6/lib/librle.so (No such file or directory), skipping /sbin/ldconfig: warning: can't open /usr/X11R6/lib/libXaw95.so (No such file or directory), skipping /sbin/ldconfig: warning: can't open /usr/X11R6/lib/libforms.so (No such file or directory), skipping Also it left a directory called /S.u.S.E. which is empty. It's no problem I can just delete it but it would be nicer if it could return the system to how it was before. Has anyone else had similar problems or can give me any advice?

Everytime I run Taper under SuSE 5.2, the thing seg faults right at the beginning of the backup.

This happens with both the dynamic and static linked versions. I used Taper for months on OpenLinux 1.1 and 1.2 with no problem.

This is the last piece of the puzzle in my escape from Windows. I use this for synth and effects control in live performances. My old laptop has no sound card, and I drive the synth and effects rack with this. I love Linux on my desktop, but cannot afford to buy a new laptop just for this purpose (unless the PowerBall lottery winners are feeling generous :) Any info or pointers would help!

[S.u.S.E. Linux] Netscape crashes X
by dwj＠aaronsrod.com 09 Aug '98

09 Aug '98

Ever since installing SuSE 5.2 in May, I have been experiencing nuisance crashes of X and even Linux that are somehow associated with Netscape. And I get the same results using three different releases of Netscape. Well, now I have a theory about where the bug is and I am wondering if anyone else has had the same experience. Installing SuSE was the same time I developed a web site I had to maintain daily (<A HREF="http://www.olypen.com/linux/"><A HREF="http://www.olypen.com/linux/</A">http://www.olypen.com/linux/</A</A>>) and to do that I kept a couple of browsers launched into a separate virtual screen in addition to my usual browser use in a single virtual screen. So that is my theory--Netscape can't handle being mounted in multiple virtual screens. It creates some kind of memory leak or other instability and after a day or so the whole thing crashes, X and all. The crash usually occurs when I close a browser. Or it can as well happen if I exit Netscape. Or when just switching from one virtual screen to another. Anyone else experience this?

[S.u.S.E. Linux] Prints in a box
by dwj＠aaronsrod.com 08 Aug '98

08 Aug '98

Every time I print anything that is straight ASCII, it gets printed in a box with page numbers and a header. I would like to know how to get rid of this box and other formatting. One problem I have with the box is it wraps the text at 69 characters instead of 80. So to keep the box, I would need to print in a smaller typeface. Question two is then, how to control the size of the typeface while printing. I am on SuSE 5.2 printing to a HP 5MP.

Date: Saturday, August 08, 1998 7:04 PM Hello! PLEASE help this M$ synner! I'm trapped in M$ mail and explorer hell untill one of you GOOD people tell me where I'm going wrong! Last weekend (of which I've areadly wrote) there was a lighting storm in my town. Lighting hit my modem and burned it up. So I went last Monday and got a new one, a Rockwell 56K Internal fax /modem/voice. I got it working in M$ 3.1 without problem, in fact, that's what I'm writing you from now (YES, I'm a synner!). Under Linux I am able to use minicom to connect with my ISP, but when I use my "getmail" script I get the errors listed in the log file. I'm betting it's the "^M" in log file that is causing the problem. But as you can see in my pppchat there is no "^M". The pppchat file worked with my old modem all I changed was the AT commands to what worked under minicom. Help put me out of my misery!

The dummy0 device is simulated networking on your local box, not involving a NIC. I have never set up samba via ppp. If you are trying to reach a machine on Yes, I intended to connect to samba via PPP from Win95/NT. However the error message is generated, while there is no connection. What I find strange is, that smbclient seems to find the broadcast IP 192.168.100.255 while nmdb doesn't: # smbclient '\\localhost\ftp' Added interface ip=192.168.100.10 bcast=192.168.100.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 ...

[S.u.S.E. Linux] Sensing Modem Hangup
by hlarons＠ComCAT.COM 08 Aug '98

08 Aug '98

Once in a while my modem will just hang up in the middle of a PPP session. Line noise or some such, I assume. Usually I can hear the click of the hangup, and know that I'm dead in the water. However, I've noticed that even though the modem is no longer connected, pppd thinks otherwise. Thus, the ip-down script does not run, and 'ifconfig' shows the block of PPP lines. How can I get a warning when the modem hangs up? Win95's DUN can do it, so there must be a way in Linux. I run pppd from a text console.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] HELP - emergency!
by tkelley＠ix.netcom.com 08 Aug '98

08 Aug '98

Hello, I have a problem: I can't boot linux; the SuSE boot floppy is somehow damaged and no longer works, I have a SCSI cdrom so it is not bootable, and Yast crashed (I could not even kill -9 it) when trying to make a boot disk for my system (and I was installing lilo onto the boot disk). So, my question is, where is the floppy image for the suse boot disk that came with the distribution? I can't find any reference to this in the manual nor does it seem to be anywhere on the CDROM - or is it in the /images dir on CD1? It isn't obvious which one it is. I see the rawrite program but no boot disk image. Second, I was going through the initial install process and had gotten to installing LILO. I'm installing linux onto a jaz disk partition /dev/sdb1 (1GB). There should be no problem with the 1024 cylinder limit, but lilo would not let me choose /dev/sdb1 "/" as a partition to boot because it was beyond the 1024th cylinder. <???> I've installed linux - several distributions - on this disk and never had a problem before. Never had a problem with Suse the first time I installed it either. -- "The three things were damnably clever constructions of their kind, and were furnished with ingenious mettalic clamps to attach them to organic developments of which I dare not form any conjecture." -H.P.

Well, that's a problem inherent in _any_ certification system (licensing engineers, lawyers, physicians, nurses, accountants, hearing aid specialists; granting college degrees (the granting institution makes a diff whether rightly or wrongly or for good or for ill); issuing drivers' licenses. The prob is not particular to whatever Caldera might do; though, we can hope and expect that a dose of publicity and public information may assist the public to reach a better understanding of what a certificate or registration may mean.
