[SuSE Linux] 5.3 initial impression
by mlankton＠home.com 05 Sep '98

05 Sep '98

5.3 seems nice, congrats to everyone at S.u.S.E. I do have one strong criticism: YaST has become intolerably slow. It's not a bad administration tool, but it's not very usable when it takes 5 minutes for the YaST splash screen to go away. Also, I just went to make my boot and rescue discs after compiling a kernel, and YaST segfaulted during creation of the rescue disc. -- .###. /#######\## -==============================================- ;##### ;# Mike's WindowMaker ;##### ;# <A HREF="http://tasteslikechicken.ml.org/windowmaker.html"><A HREF="http://tasteslikechicken.ml.org/windowmaker.html</A">http://tasteslikechicken.ml.org/windowmaker.html</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

[SuSE Linux] killing processes
by qgl176＠yahoo.com 05 Sep '98

05 Sep '98

Can anyone tell me how I can kill a process without using its pid. I would like to use something a little more fixed to that particular process. PID's change everytime a process is started and I am going to be using automated scripts to kill certain processes. _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

[SuSE Linux] Diald & IP Masquerade together question (this time in plain text -- sorry)
by lparsons＠GlobalEyes.net 05 Sep '98

05 Sep '98

I have had some luck in setting up IP Masqerade and Diald, but never together. I must be missing a step somewhere. Currently I am using a Webramp M3 analog router, and I love it, but it is only on eval and I can't keep it. Are there any real 'this is how to do it' docs or pages somewhere that explain this for linux user that wants to delve deeper? I am running SuSE 5.2 (impatiently waiting for 5.3), on a p2/233, 64Mb RAM, Netgear 10/100 PCI ethernet. Any pointers would be appreciated.

[SuSE Linux] GCC and all that.
by hattons＠CPKWEBSER5.ncr.disa.mil 05 Sep '98

05 Sep '98

I am having a hard time getting many programs to compile with my current 5.2 configuration. My biggest problem is with kde-apps. I get errors such as the following: make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/download/KDE/tools/ksamba-0.3.3' Making all in ksamba make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/download/KDE/tools/ksamba-0.3.3/ksamba' Makefile:660: warning: overriding commands for target `install-data-local' Makefile:538: warning: ignoring old commands for target `install-data-local' Computing dependencies for newserviceData.cpp... make[2]: *** No rule to make target `/usr/local/kde/include/kmsgbox.h', needed by `.deps/newservice.P'. Stop. make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/download/KDE/tools/ksamba-0.3.3/ksamba' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/download/KDE/tools/ksamba-0.3.3' make: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2 On my old system I had ksamba up and running. I feel confident that I had compiled it myself. Now that the old system bit the dust, I'm trying to recover the tools I had. I can't seem to get these to compile. What should I have installed relating to GCC? I can't remember if I had upgraded GCC or not. Any advice?

[SuSE Linux] Bye everyone
by mlankton＠home.com 05 Sep '98

05 Sep '98

Well, I'm pretty much heartbroken over 5.3. I cancelled my subscription to S.u.S.E. and I am cancelling my mailing list subscription after I make this post, so I wanted to say goodbye, and that I had fun with you guys the last 9 months or so. I wish everyone at S.u.S.E. success, and best wishes to all of you on the mailing list.

[SuSE Linux] Kppp...revisited
by steve＠millsphoto.com 04 Sep '98

04 Sep '98

Ok, so the wvdial thing failed on my box. Why, nobody is sure. Not even wvdial has an answer. It absolutely can't find my modem. So I have gone back to trying Kppp since it could at least dial out, and what do I learn but that I needed to enter commands in a script (duh) and I never tried this before. See the light bulb over my head? :) Expect login Send my login-ppp Expect password Send my password This is all logical, but it sticks at the password part and I get disconnected. Here is my question (finally): does the password need extra text, same as my login needed to have -ppp added to it? Or is there a 5th command that is needed? Such as "Start ppp"? Additionally, at the suggestion of my ISP, I have renamed /pap-secrets so it wouldn't be used. That isn't a problem here. Advice? Thanks.

Re: [SuSE Linux] Installing SuSE, NT and Win98 in one machine - question
by punt＠gte.net 04 Sep '98

04 Sep '98

We have one machine that has all three OS's. We use the NT loader to boot them. We don't "waste" a 100 mb partition to boot from (and yes, waste is subjective). We have 1GB for NT, 1GB for Win98, and 3GB for Suse (but 128Mb of that is a fourth partition for swap file). The sizing really depends on what you are doing. Now, when we do lilo, we have it write to the boot sector of the partition, not the MBR. Then we copy the bootsector over to the NTFS partition and update the boot.ini file (by the way, this is documented in the SuSE manual under LILO. Main reason we run SusE, some of the best documentation available, and we hope it continues to improve!). Now by now you realize that one disadvantage of having NT on NTFS is that linux can't write too it, so we have to transfer the boot sector by floppy to the NTFS partition. But we don't rebuild our kernel that often, so it isn't a big deal for us, and we gain to much having NTFS. I think installing win98, winnt, and then linux is easiest, but It really doesn't matter, Just remember that Win98 will write the MBR, NT wont at first, and dont have LILO write it at all!. Oh, by the way, if you do Linux last, during the install it will want to reboot. You have to use the boot disk and then tell it to boot an installed system to finish. This is because you haven't added the Linux bootsector to NT loader yet! - 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] libXm.so.2 dependency ?
by tsinteris＠cornell.edu 04 Sep '98

04 Sep '98

Hi.... I was wondering if anybody else was having this problem. I have tried to install several packages (rpm) and I get an unsatisfied dependency. The first rpm I tried was a pre-built one of lesstif 0.86. The next more critical one was jdk 1.1.6 (from suse.org) Even though yast under Change configuration does not report some sort of unsatisfied dependency, under install packages and then description it tells me the same thing that kpackage does. That libXm.so.2 is missing... Does anybody have any ideas? Thanks a lot, Kimon Tsinteris - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
