[SuSE Linux] Dialing Problem
by wmmvdwee＠hawedo.com 06 Jan '99

06 Jan '99

Thanks Juergen for your help. I changed in rc.config IP_DYNIP=yes, but still the same problem. Whay I still do not understand is that I put in YaST that I want to use CHAP to connect to my ISP, but Linux still use PAP. I removed username and password from PAP-Secrets and put it in CHAP-Secrets, but than I can not connect at all. This means that my connection is made trough PAP. In my rc.config it says: PPP_AUTHENT_0="CHAP" I also have the scripts /etc/ppp/ip-up and ip-down with the proper link etc. But I'am not sure the system use these scripts to connect and to disconnect. How can I check this out? My setup looks like this: IPS wxs.nl ip 195.121.1.34 ETH0 ip 192.168.1.1 ippp0 ip 192.168.2.1 default ip 195.121.1.34 My route looks like this before the connection is made: ----------------------- Destination gateway genmask flags metric ref use iface wxs.nl * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ippp0 192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 1 eth0 loopback * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 1 lo default wxs.nl 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 ippp0 ---------------------- After the connectioning is closed my route looks like this: ----------------------- Destination gateway genmask flags metric ref use iface wxs.nl * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ippp0 192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 3 eth0 loopback * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 1 lo default wxs.nl 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 ippp0 ---------------------- As per your request i send you a part of my log: This is the part where the connection is made and disconnected the first time without any problem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |Jan 6 02:05:00 bagus kernel: ippp0: dialing 0 0765334333... |Jan 6 02:05:01 bagus isdnlog: (HiSax driver detected) |Jan 6 02:05:01 bagus isdnlog: Jan 06 02:05:01 * tei 64 |calling +49 7653/34333, Lenzkirch with +49 911/370258, |N|rnberg RING (Data) |Jan 6 02:05:01 bagus isdnlog: Jan 06 02:05:01 * |tei 127 calling ? with ?

I installed the glibc binaries from the CD. After that SO5 installed with no problem. However, the soprep script did NOT work. Apparently that file is corrupted on the CD.

[SuSE Linux] Soundblaster on SuSE-5.1
by Ted.Harding＠nessie.mcc.ac.uk 06 Jan '99

I wonder if anyone who has succeeded with a similar setup can give me any useful tips. I'm trying to get a PnP "Soundblaster" working on SuSE-5.1. "isapnp" gives the result: Board 1 has Identity 27 ff ff ff ff 68 18 73 16: ESS1868 Serial No 4294967295 I'm trying to follow the guidance in the various Sound howtos, but can get no further: whatever I try, "cat /dev/sndstat" always tells me no "audio" devices are available, so presumably it's getting no response from the card. The various /dev sound devices seem to be in place as they should be. Any ideas, anyone?

It is not all positive numbers, half are negative and half positive so it is more like -2^16 (negative) to +2^16 (positive).

Re: [SuSE Linux] BUG REPORT: XFree86-3.3.3-3 crashes on launchin

Could somebody be kind enough to explain what's libc5 and glibc and why some distributions/apps use one over the other? I assume its the main run-time library for Linux but I am sure there are other people like me who are new to OSS who would like to better their understanding...especially if there is a good chance we'll run into this problem ourselves sooner or later.

Alan, no ideas...just the same experience. Did you follow the install instruction given in the mag?? I haven't tried yet (might tonight if I feel adventureous enough) and keep you posted. From memory you have to run an install script first for the glibc, but a casual glance at the directory didn't show me any glib files. - 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>>
