[SuSE Linux] Any ppp setup difference with Red hat?
by sina＠glue.umd.edu 28 Aug '98

28 Aug '98

Hi, I got hold of instructions on how to connect to my ISP. It is written specifically for Red Hat. There are specific instructions on what to put in /etc/ppp/options, /etc/ppp/chatscript, and /etc/ppp/pap-secrets. Will these be the same with S.u.S.E? Also the hangup command uses a file /var/run/ppp0.pid which I couldn't find on my S.u.S.E. machine. Any ideas what should I use instead? The suggested command to dial and hangup for me is give as /usr/sbin/pppd connect '/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/ppp/chatscript' and cat /var/run/ppp0/pid | xargs kill rspectively. I have S.u.S.E. 5.2. I have one other naive and stupid question. My modem is called /dev/modem on my machine but it should be called /dev/ttyS0. Would that make a difference? Thanks, Ramin Sina - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

[SuSE Linux] 1st Impressions of 5.3
by ponion＠srd.bt.co.uk 28 Aug '98

28 Aug '98

Hi, I got my 5.3 yesterday and I'm sorry to say that my 1st impressions are rather disappointing. Previously I've done many slackware installations and a few RedHat ones too, and of all the installation tools YaST has to me the most counter intuative and hard to use of the lot. Sax was a total disaster, until I went in to expert mode for the card and set all the parameters manually. It was a good job I still have the slackware partition still intact as I had to go back to that to get suitable modelines as Sax's XF86config totally failed to produce anything on my monitor. The PPP setup led me up the garden path until I resorted in going and reading some to the Suse scripts to see what it was trying to do.... The manual was misleading in a few places. An I still have not managed to connect to my ISP. For some reason the CHAP authentication is failing, and I've even copied my slackware chap-secrests file to ensure I didn't mistype anything. Oh and when you try to build a kernel, after completing the "make xconfig" step, a window full of german menu selections appears :-)) So much for an "english" distribution..... An how do I get to see what is happening during the build??? I had to stop it and do a manual make dep ; make clean ; make etc etc inorder to see what is going on. So far yast has got a 5/10 Must try harder.... But KDE gets a gold star , it's way cool !!!! I'll keep trying as I want to get SuSE working.

[SuSE Linux] Installing packages
by s.seifert＠informatikbuero.com 28 Aug '98

28 Aug '98

I have a huge problem installing some packages I downloaded from Suse-ftp and Caldera. I cannot install them, yast tells me only: invalid: PREIN for "packagename.rpm" error installing ... rpm says only: error installing "packagename.rpm" I had this error in SuSE 5.2 and now in 5.3. 5.2 was installed on a 450 MB HD which was the only in my system. The new SuSE is on a 8GB Maxtor and a 2nd HD is in my system, too. I compiled a new kernel in both SuSE-versions before trying to install the packages. In 5.2 I used the 2.0.33-sources and in the new the 2.0.35-SuSE sources. I was working now for hours on this problem and don't see any way to get it to work. Help would be appreciated, Stefan Seifert E-mail: Stefan.Seifert(a)Informatikbuero.com home: www.ifb.at/stefan - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

28 Aug '98

Hi , I'm not sure yet , if I could Probably use any new XFree86 Server for the 'ATI , All in Wonder ' Card , For The : ATI Rage Pro - Expert 98 3d 2d , card that I have just purchased . ******************************************** -Here a Quote from my documentation- ''If you purchased the ALL-IN-WONDER or ALL-IN-WONDER PRO, you already have a TV tuner and do not need the ATI-TV product.'' ****************************************** This Looks like , to me , that if I have the ATI Rage Pro Expert 98 3d , 2d , it is the same as the ''ALL IN Wonder'' card . So I could use the X-Server for the all in wonder ? If anyone knows more about this, (chip-set , etc..) ,please post here.. thanks ! I have not seen any mention of the ATI Rage Pro - Expert , at the SuSE Xservers Page . I use SuSE version 5.0 and need to update to new 5.3 when released by SuSE .

[SuSE Linux] Looking for Linux touch pad drivers similar to Win95
by arunkhan＠xnet.com 28 Aug '98

28 Aug '98

Greetings list members, I have switched to a PS2 touch pad mouse for my desktop. It works great both under Linux (regular PS2 mouse driver) and Win95/NT. For Win95 there is an additional driver which automatically takes the pointer to the scroll bar when you touch the right edge and one can scroll by draging the finger along the edge. I think it is a great feature and was wondering if any of you know of a similar driver for Linux. TIA -- Arun Khan PS - For those who experience discomfort using a regular mouse, I suggest you try the touch pads. It took a little practice getting used to but relieved the stress points in my wrist and finger when using a regular Logitech PS2 mouse. - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

<PRE> Hi, Take a look at the .files (i.e. ls -la) and check the permissions. I once did the following: /usr/src/linux> chown -R myusername * /usr/src/linux> chgrp -R users * as root and then I log in as my self (not root) and rebuilt everything successfully. Hope this helps - Ingvaldur >> >> I suppose checking permissions on files is not realy >> possible?? I'd go >> for a make clean first. >> >> J?rgen >> >Hi, > > Yep. Did a make clean.
