[SuSE Linux] (Off-topic)mars_nwe and NetWare Licensing
by dsoper＠efn.org 13 Jan '99

13 Jan '99

This is a bit off-topic, but I was wondering about licensing issues surrounding the use of login.exe and map.exe with the program. The situation is this-- I just got a new job where I'm running a couple of NetWare servers on the network and want to set up a set of Winblows(tm) disk images (using Ghost) to reinstall Windohs when it breaks. There's not enough room on the existing NetWare servers, and there's an old P-90 fileserver gathering dust in my office, so I thought I'd use it as a dedicated image, driver, etc., server. Now, what's with the licensing? The docs said I need to use login.exe, map.exe and a couple of other NetWare executables. I'm going to be the only person using it, and I probably won't be logged in for more than 2 sessions at a time. Any advice would be appreciated. I would prefer using free software i.e.; Samba, but there doesn't seem to be a client that would allow me to run Ghost from a DOS prompt.

[SuSE Linux] freshmeat mailling list
by hekate＠intergate.bc.ca 13 Jan '99

13 Jan '99

Hi all. Stefan Hornburg just sent me a new version of his splitfmnews script...that works with the new freshmeat setup. For those of you that don't know what it is, splitfmnews is a perl script that takes the freshmeat daily software digest scoop sends out to subscribers and splits it up into little individual articles for each software package. It makes browsing incoming software much easier, as each package has it's own mail/subject header. The recipe for .procmailrc is as such: : 0 * ^To:.freshmeat | splitfmnews | formail -ds cat >> $HOME/mail/freshmeat If anyone wants a copy lemme know. Of course you can also get if from Stefan directly. BTW, if you like this script let him know, apparently he hadn't bothered to adjust the new script prior to my asking because he got no feedback ( thanks) for the first one.:-) -M - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>

[SuSE Linux] Building the distro from source.??
by myfish＠dial.pipex.com 13 Jan '99

13 Jan '99

Just wondered if anyone out there has built the whole SuSE distro from the source rpms ?. What if any benefits would there be,as stuff i seem to build is mostly larger than the binaries provided. I guess maybe the debugging symbols or such like are stripped out or something. I was thinking along the lines of my forthcoming 6.0 upgrade. Maybe a script could be written that modifies the source.rpm`s .spec files,so i can optimize the code for this modest machine. Would this need a huge /usr/src though,cause at every build you have the source rpm,and the binary. Maybe the script could delete the both of them after the building. Just a thought... any ideas ??. -- Myfish.

[SuSE Linux] transparent pixmaps using xmgetpixmap()
by dk11ae＠student.hik.se 13 Jan '99

13 Jan '99

Hello ! I was just wondering if its possible to create a transparent xpm picture, read it into my program using xmgetpixmap() and then copy it to a window using xcopyarea() ? I'm trying to make a rectangle which contains a filled circle and transparent corners so it should look like a ball, but when it shows in my window I get black corners instead. I guess it's possible for x to handle transparent pixmaps but how should it be done ? - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>

[SuSE Linux] Successfull WindowMaker Install
by camst65+＠pitt.edu 13 Jan '99

13 Jan '99

It turns out that everything installed fine, I just didn't have my .xinitrc file set up to know how and where to start wmaker from. It built perfectly on my stock, out of the box, SuSE 5.3 box---I think because I don't have automake or autoconf installed, and I didn't mess with libtool 1.2 etc. at all. I did do the aclocal fix (grabbing it from 0.50.0) and everything went fine. Man, it looks nice. chris - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>

[SuSE Linux] Plugins not loading
by mason＠imsa.edu 13 Jan '99

13 Jan '99

I seem to be having a bit of a problem with plugins. Several of my programs (i.e. Netscape, Adobe Acrobat Reader) keep complaining upon startup of not being able to load certain plugins. The programs still seem to be running decently, it's just that I don't like errors of any sort.

[SuSE Linux] USR 56k modem and keyboard problems in X
by assalonej＠kpe.com 13 Jan '99

13 Jan '99

I have two problems on two different machines. First, I have a USR56k FAX modem, which i flash upgraded to v.90. I can set it up with isapnp for ttyS3, but when i reboot into win98 the modem is aparently reset and is detected as new hardware. Win98 sets the modem for com 2, irq 3, so I adjusted my isapnp.conf file accordingly and did the following setserial commands: setserial /dev/ttyS1 autoconfig setserial /dev/ttyS1 spd_vhi stty -echo < /dev/ttyS1 and i got no error messages, so I thought everything was ok. When i went into minicom though, and set the serial port to /dev/ttyS1 and tried to initialize the modem, nothing happens. The other problem is on an old 486 computer with a Promise VLB I/O card (I just thought of another problem on this box, which might be related to this card). First off, both the backspace and delete keys work as forward delete in xterm. ^H works, as well as doing a back-arrow and then forward delete. I checked the Xmodmap file, but everything seemed fine in there. BTW, the keys work fine in all other applications, xterm is the only one that is working ass-backwards. econd problem with this box: I tried to recompile a kernel, i selected a plain ide kernel, with no scsi or special ide chipsets. The kernel compiled fine, but when i replaced the old vmlinuz file with the new one and rebooted, the system froze at "Loading Linux..." I have two ideas as to the cause of this problem, one being that the kernel didn't actually compile all the way. The other is that i might have needed a special ide driver for the Promise card (i was stupid and forgot to write down the chipset when i put the card in). The card is a Promise 2300. - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>
