[SLE] Need help with Enlightenment. . .

I asked this before but this has obviously been a slow weekend for this list. I have been playing with E and really like it. The problem is that I can't get econf (the tool to configure E) to install. this is the error: error: failed dependencies: libcapplet.so.0 is needed by econf-0.15-23 I'm trying to install from the SuSE RPMs via ftp. What package do I need to install to fix this dependancy? -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Darren R.

[SLE] Logitech Cordless Desktop Pro

Hi all, here's a compatibility question - I've checked the cdb, and there's no mention of the above keyboard. http://www.logitech.com/uk/keyboards/kb91_100.html This could be a nice Christmas present - if it works. It's a nice split 'natural' keyboard, with one of those gourgeous contoured Logitech mice. It's wireless as well. I don't see any reason why it shouldn't work with Linux, but I thought I might check. So, is anyone using the above keyboard/mouse with Linux?

[SLE] WVDIAL timeouts (followup)
by w7ntf＠aol.com 30 Nov '99

I did some research on the internet and came up with the following URL, which may be of some use: http://www.worldvisions.ca/wvdial/ Interestingly enough, WVDIAL has been touted as overcoming 'pppd died unexpectedly' error, which I have recently encountered with Suse Linux v6.2. I have sent a short inquiry to the worldvisions staff, asking for some help with the problem I have been encountering. I will post my findings here in case someone else might find it beneficial. Wish me luck.

There seems to be a lot of other stuff on that .grc. site. Not sure how long it's been around though. Apart from the current topic, has anybody had any previous experience with it?

[SLE] Keeping a permanent PPP link up
by bob_cameron＠lse.com.au 30 Nov '99

30 Nov '99

Gidday System - 6.2 but not using wvdial (didnt like setting the remote ip address). Using bits from 6.0 suseppp. I want to keep this PPP link up permanently but despite a ping every 30 minutes it does drop for other reasons. (bad phone line etc) Does anyone have any ideas for dialling again if the link drops. Not talking about dial on demand as the system has to receive as well.

[SLE] Is this a good Linux programming book?
by suse_list＠hotmail.com 30 Nov '99

30 Nov '99

Hi all, I have recently come accross a book that I am thinking of purchasing but I just want to see if anyone else has looked at it first. I'll buy it mail order so can't actually flip through it. It's called "Linux Programming Unleashed", and I just want to know if it's worth shelling out the $100 (Australian) for it. Thanks, Brad. ______________________________________________________ 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/

We didn't have an excessive amount of trouble with our Athlon 700/G400 box. You might need to use SaX's `Expert' mode in the cards tab to force the amount of VRAM, but it's pretty easy. Have you tried using xf86config or XF86Setup? ^^^^^^^^^ Yes , I've tried do expert modes in SaX and xf86config or XF86Setup? . But everytime then i choose resolution more than 640x480 i'm getting configuration errors.

[SLE] glibc 2.1.2
by optimusb＠stack.nl 30 Nov '99

30 Nov '99

Hello, I've been trying to compile glibc-2.1.2 on my system and it isn't working. It compiles, but the test (make check, make install, etc) always says it's broken. This was originally a SuSE-6.1 install, but I replaced the kernel (now 2.1.12), the binutils (now 2.9.1) and the gcc (now 2.95.1) myself. The system is an Intel Pentium 233, with 80 Mb RAM and 4 GB Linux partition. Are there any known problems with glibc-2.1.2 on such a system. Ben Z.
