[S.u.S.E. Linux] kppd automated login?
by suse_list＠hotmail.com 02 Aug '98

02 Aug '98

I am using kppd to connect to the internet. I have it all set up and working perfectly. The only problem I have is when I dial in and after the login scripts finish running and the remote computer starts sending the ppp streams I have to click on the continue button manually to continue. If I don't do this within a certain time the connection drops out. This is a real pain especially when on busy nights I have to redial 100 times or so. I would like to be able to set it dialing and then walk away for a while and then when I come back the connection should be all set up and running. At the moment I have to stay there to be ready to push the continue button. Does anyone know how to fix this in kppd? If it can't be done, can someone reccomend an alternative program that will do it, and is easy to st up?

[S.u.S.E. Linux] trying to use 2.1.112
by roberto＠cbvcp.com 01 Aug '98

01 Aug '98

I tried to use the new dev kernel, and it appeared to compile and install correctly, but when i tried to boot it from lilo, it restarted the comp. I compiled just like when i updated from 2.0.33 to 2.0.35, but this time it didn't work. I would like to use the new kernel, because it has a driver for my sound card. any help would be greatly appreciated. -- Aaron Seelye <A HREF="http://revolution.3-cities.com/~roberto"><A HREF="http://revolution.3-cities.com/~roberto</A">http://revolution.3-cities.com/~roberto</A</A>> - 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] Installation Problems....
by ryanak＠flash.net 01 Aug '98

01 Aug '98

Hi, I recently bought S.u.S.E 5.2 It came with a install guide. But I have a problem. The install guide says that something is going to happen, but it dont, or it will say that I can go back to the main menu, but when I do it asks me to do something that the manual dont talk about. Also, I get as far as installing the packages, but about half way through, it stops, due to a i/o error when unzipping a file. The file is usually something different everytime. My HD is not in the best condition, could it be that? Could it be a bad sector or something? Is there an online manual that is updated? Or is their someone who can help me? Email me, for the specifics on my problems. I am using the English version ( duh ). I hope someone can help soon! Thanks! -- |cemann email: <A HREF="mailto:ryanak@flash.net">mailto:ryanak@flash.net</A> Those people who tell you not to take chances, they are all missing out on what life's about, you only live once so take hold of the chance, don't end up like others the same song and dance. ---James Hetfield - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

Apparently, if you have anything that is not a hard drive or CD-ROM attached to the secondary IDE port, this will happen. I have always had this "problem" with my ATAPI tape drive attached to the 2nd IDE port. This "problem" also manifested itself when I had my ATAPI Zip drive attached there. Strangely, though, I moved my ATAPI Zip to my computer at work and attached it to the secondary port and that computer doesn't have this problem (it's an HP Vectra VL). So maybe it's something related to the BIOS. Anyway, it's just a minor annoyance as it doesn't seem to affect performance in any way.
