[SLE] printing through an NT service

Printing from my linux machine through a win print server stopped working. I've configured it to configure printer trough samba (or similar wording) in yast. It worked for a few days than it stopped working. It doesn't give an error or anything it just doesn't print. Could it be the samba configuration??? -- Tiago Pascoal (l41484(a)alfa.ist.utl.pt) FAX : +351-1-7273394 Politicamente incorrecto, e membro (nao muito) proeminente da geracao rasca.

Run at Boot

Ok, I tried to run something at boot (boot.local), with one problem. It seems that it was running before the network drivers were loaded. I need this daemon to run at runlevel 2(?), whichever is the last one it reaches before it drops you to the login prompt.

[SLE] Proftpd 1.2.0pre3 and SuSE 6.2
by ubald_jr＠hotmail.com 16 Dec '99

16 Dec '99

Hi all I have recently installed SuSE 6.2 and the Proftpd 1.2.0pre3 that came on the CDs.... But I am not able to upload files on my computers from other machines.... even though I can download as many files as I want, or telnet into my computer and delete files...create directories.... Here are some informations for you: 1- I have edited /etc/inetd.conf as following: a) ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/proftpd proftpd as suggested in the help files.....doesn't work :( b) I also tried this way: ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd proftpd It doesn't work :( 2- I have tried to edit /etc/proftpd.conf in order to include some of the <Limit> order .... </LIMIT> arguments with specific IP address and/or host to allow getting into my machine. Rebooting each and every times, trying all the possibilities, didn't produce something good enough... I always get the same message while trying to upload a file from outside to my computer: 200 port command successful 550 "filename": permission denied I don't understand... I have writing permission in these folders with this user (and I also tried with other users....). I cannot upload files on their own HOME directories.... :( I'm on a cable connection, with SMC EtherEZ card, NE2000 compatible. Any help would be reeeeeeeeeeeeally appreciated.... thanks ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.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] MySQL setup/install in SuSE 6.2
by wsandman＠tool.net 08 Dec '99

08 Dec '99

Greetings, I have just installed SuSE 6.2 and am enjoying the new features. However after installing MySQL, which I use consistently, it appears several of the files are missing or were not installed. In paticular mysql, the monitor, mysqladmin, mysqlshow ,and libmysqlclient.so. Ahhhh, is this a know problem that could possibly be solved by reinstalling MySQL? Or is this FEBCAC? (Fatal Error Between Chair And Console) Is any one else having this problem? best, __ Wm. J. Sandman III Need Win95 or BETTER? Systems Programmer MacOs crashed your new G3?

[SLE] xlock
by weberdr＠bellsouth.net 03 Dec '99

I'm using Window Maker for the first time. I've had it on here now for three days and really like it. My question is - in the menu there is an entry for xlock which as expected locks the screen and starts a screensaver. I have read up on xlock in the docs and figured out how to set the mode I want when I call it, but how do I make it automatic like a regular screensaver and set up the delay time etc.??? -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Darren R.

[SLE] first time posting, having problems with sax... please read
by ronm＠cyrix.com 02 Dec '99

02 Dec '99

this is my first time posting to this group, I have had suse for about 1 week now and am excited about getting it up and running on my home pc. I have had a few problems along the way. I do use unix at work but have never been any where near the administrator and know nothing about that job. So really I know very little about how to install/maintain linux but Im learning:) which brings me to this question. my system k62-450 196 meg of ram linuxdrive= 3.4 gb udma creative 32x cdrom soundblaster live voodoo3 via mpv3 chipset tatung monitor I have read the help page on installing the xsvga package to configure x using sax. I did that with no problems and then made a symbolic link; ln -s /usr/X11R6/bin/XFR_SVGA /usr/X11R6/bin/XFCom_Banshee, this was no problem. the problem is when I go through sax it seems as though everything is going ok all the way through till it try's to boot x for the first time. my system goes off to never land and I get this message at the text prompt. ax: searching card....done sax scanning failed switching to VGA16 for configuration sax: using XF86_VGA16 for configration sax: start new XF86_VGA16 server I thought sax would boot me right into x kde? this is not happening. all I get is the text prompt. I went to check and see if VGA16 was installed and it was and I tried alot of different resolutions thought i suspect that has nothing to do with the problem. I hope you have a easy answer for me;) thanks for you time Ron Morgan -- Ron Morgan jr.
