[SuSE Linux] ADSL
by kar＠webline.dk 01 Nov '99

Did anyone already try ADSL with SuSE Linux? Or know what is required? According to what I've heard, the Danish telecom will install an ADSL box that talks ATM, so there has to be an ATM card in the Linux box. But why can't the ADSL box talk Ethernet? -- 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 archive 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>>

[SLE] HTML Forms? (off topic)

Howdy, Try as I may, I just can't figure this one out! Hopefully someone here has done it, or knows how :) When you submit a form (GET form), anything entered that is more than one word in a box, gets put into the url in the form of this+and+another+word+please+carol There has to be a way to get it to put it as: this%20and%20another%20word%20please%20carol I'm at a loss as to how to achieve this, can anyone help?

Re: [SLE] What's in my kernel?

I'm personally not aware of a tool for any distribution that would tell you what's *in* the kernel, but you can always sort through /lib/modules to see which modules are built. For instance, PPP and Tulip drivers are both included as modules for the stock SuSE kernel. -- -=|JP|=- (Resident GNUbie) Jon Pennington | SuSE Linux 6.2 -o) super-suser(a)excite.com | Kernel 2.2.10 /\\ Kansas City, Missouri | AMD K6-III 450 _\_V ________________________________________________________________ Get FREE voicemail, fax and email at http://voicemail.excite.com Talk online at http://voicechat.excite.com -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe(a)suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

[SLE] docserver, apache and htdig problem partly resolved
by mitha＠math.unc.edu 01 Nov '99

01 Nov '99

I'm not sure if this got through. I got some mysterious error message from some fetchmail daemon related to it... Faheem. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sat, 30 Oct 1999 11:56:55 -0400 (EDT) From: Faheem Mitha <mitha(a)math.unc.edu> To: suse-linux-e(a)suse.com Subject: docserver, apache and htdig problem partly resolved Dear people, I posted a message previously about the fact that I had difficulties setting up my doc server and running htdig. Well, the problem was very simple, but it took me a while to figure out. You see, when I originally installed the distribution in early Sept, I instructed that everything be installed. In particular, three different web servers were installed and were set running automatically at bootup. They were Syrix (commercial demo version), Apache and something called thttpd. I noticed Syrix and uninstalled it, but thttpd has such a similar name that when I saw it running I assumed it had something to do with Apache. Silly me. Well, it turns out that thttpd was somehow interfering with apache, and therefore the docserver etc. wasn't working. I uninstalled thttpd, and now the docserver works and htdig works. However, I still cannot access man pages from susehelp. This may be a problem related to Rosettaman (rman), which is supposed to convert man pages to http on the fly, or it may be a permission problem. I tried to run rman on its own but it hung. The syntax may be wrong though. Can anyone give me a rman formatting command that definitely works so that I can try on my machine? I think it is reasonable to warn people to make sure when setting up the doc server that only one web server is running, and I am going to email SuSE to that effect. After all, they explicitly refused to answer questions about this feature, and nobody else had any idea.

I'll dig a bit when I get home, but I'm quite certain that I've done this from the CDs.

You can use the mount option umask. Here an example /etc/fstab line which lets every user write to the partition: /dev/hda6 /drv/d vfat defaults,umask=000 0 0 If you want to grant write permission only to a specific user you can use the uid option. This line lets only the user with uid 1234 (login names can't be used here) write to the partition: /dev/hda6 /drv/d vfat defaults,uid=1234,umask=022 0 0 There also exists the option gid which sets the group of all files on the partition.

[SLE] Problem Installing 6.2
by parkerm＠null.net 01 Nov '99

01 Nov '99

I bought 6.2 over the weekend and encountered a problem. I actually also saw this problem with 6.1 but never found a solution so gave up. I'm currently running 6.0 using the 2.0.36 kernel without any problems and is what I fell back on this weekend when installing 6.2 didn't work. Ok first off, system details: Pentium 100 96MB RAM Adaptec AHA-294X SCSI host adapter (Narrow Controller) 1 SCSI Segate 4.2G disk (I've been using this disk forever and never had a problem) 1 SCSI CDROM Toshiba XM-5401TA (I've had this thing for 5 years, again never a problem) The problem: Basically what happens is that at different parts of the install I start getting SCSI timeouts and bus resets that never recover. This happened with 6.1 but I was never sure what was going on because the error message was very vague. With 6.2 the error message is pretty clear (sorry don't have a copy of it), a SCSI timeout happens and it attempts to reset the bus, after a short amount of time a message is displayed that the bus is probably hung and won't be able to recover. This happens at different places during the install. Usually whenever I'm doing a whole lot of disk activity (ie formatting partitions or mounting filesystems). If I can make it past the partitioning stage then it usually dies while copying files over. Does anyone have any suggestions? My initial thinking with 6.1 was the kernel and was hoping that the problem had been corrected with the updated kernel in 6.2. I hate to have to break down and get a new machine since this one has been so good to me.
