[SLE] Vmware strangeness after upgrade
by fountai＠hursley.ibm.com 27 Dec '99

27 Dec '99

I upgraded from 6.2 to 6.3 last night. It all went mostly OK, but I was left with two problems, related I think. My network card wasn't recognised when booting. The module wasn't being loaded. If I loaded it manually and restarted the network it was happy. I found the line in modules.conf was reading "alias eth0 off". I changed it to "alias eth0 tulip" and all was happy again. But I have a similar problem with Vmware. I have 1.1.2, downloaded and installed by hand rather than off the disk. This also seems to fail to load the module at boot time and later says I have to run vmware-reconfig.pl. When I do, it takes the vmware things down, then puts them back up again, and it all works. After a reboot it's broken again. What do I need to to tweak to have the Vmware module loaded correctly at boot time? -- 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] IP owner?

Hi, Whats the best way to figure out who owns an IP? I've been getting on going connection attempts from: 12.29.19.96 Which looks to me to be part of First Robinson Savings Bank. Now I doubt they are trying to sell me a credit card. Various emails have yet to be answered. Any pointers would be great.

Re: [SLE] How-to integrate email in MS exchange and linux
by jon＠document-solutions.com 26 Dec '99

It is possible to use the Exchange Serve in this way (Relay) and grab mail on POP. My question is why? Is the SuSE box behind a firewall or something? If it is connected t the internet it should be able to send mail however you wish (Using Sendmail?) then you can POP into the Exchange Server and grab mail. Using the Exchange Server to Relay mail seems like an extra unecessary hop. Am I missing some detail here as to why you want to use the Exchange Server? You can check to see if POP is operating by Telnet to the Exchange Severs IP on Port 110. All settings for this are in the Exchange Administrator, under the Site Container "connections" and the "Internet Mail Service" Is is possible to Add Domains, Routing and such to this area. Scenarios are on support.microsoft.com too I remember. However, from what you describe I would be inclined to think Sendmail is better. Read the Docs at Sendmail.org on setting up your mail there. A lot can be done through Yast. Jon <<< "nixien" <nixien(a)pd.jaring.my> 12/26 5:14a >>> Hi all, I have my Suse installed quite a while now. Still can figure out how(if possible) to receive and transmit email to and fro local Microsoft email exchange server. I would be very appreciated if someone could give some pointers for below situations. I don't quite clear about the conceptual operation of email between MS exchange server and linux. Here is the situation.Let say, MS email domain is xxx.yyy.com, do I need to set linux domain name as mysuse.yyy.com where mysuse is the hostname. What if I use different domain name in linux. And if I login into linux as myname, as such my email address will be myname(a)mysuse.yyy.com, which is the registered user account in MS exchange server. How does MS know the email address(myname(a)mysuse.yyy.com) set in linux, and vice-versa ? I tried my best to describe what I don't understand fully. Hence, some terminologies might used wrongly and similarily on the email operations. Please be patient with me ;-). Appreciate any comments, suggestion.

Re: [SLE] STILL Can't even get my Network card installed :`(+++Update+++

I send this to the list, since other people might want to add some comments of their own. I just remembered you said something about the network options in Yast were grayed out. This happens when you activate DHCP, so that might be part of the problem. Also, the DHCP setup that comes with SuSE might still have problems with having two network cards, but only using DHCP on one of them. I know from the list that it had in 6.2, but it might be fixed in 6.3. In 6.2 the solution was to download a package called dhcpcd from somewhere...

[SLE] Epson Stylus Color 600
by dmorris＠bigfoot.com 26 Dec '99

26 Dec '99

Hi all, I'm new to SuSE and have recently installed 6.3. I configured my printer with YAST using the epsonc mask, but I'm not so sure it is correct. My printer works ok, but makes some strange noises it never made under windoze. Is there a way to be a little more specific about the printer in the setup? I've tried it under Redhat's Printtool and it seems to work pretty well. Suggestions?

Hi Raynchk, Rest assured that the Epson Stylus Color 600 printer works fine under SuSE Linux 6.1. I'm currently using ver 6.1 but the process of getting the printer to work wasn't smooth sailing. I used apsfilter to configure the printer. Had a problem in that the printer was reported to be offline but it went away after I typed the following lines at the command prompt: modprobe parport lp=parport0 with parallel port support installed in the kernel using xconfig (See Chapter on "The Kernel" in the manual). regards, choon peng --------------------------------------------------- Get free personalized email at http://www.iname.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/

Re: [SLE] 128 Mg RAM
by czchng＠iname.com 26 Dec '99

Hi Aldo Solari, You are not alone with this problem. Recently I installed SuSE 6.1 on a AMD-K6-III machine with 128MB of RAM and the system detects only 64MB. Maybe this is a problem with the CPU or CPU-Motherboard combination. I'll be trying to insert the mem=128M line in /etc/lilo.conf again. However, can someone pinpoint to me the exact location where I should include this line, ie. after and before which statement as it seems to be not in lilo.conf's syntax set. regards, choon peng With a PII-266 and a AMD K6-III running SuSE 6.1 --------------------------------------------------- Get free personalized email at http://www.iname.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] CanonBJC4300 w/WordPerfect8 using SuSE 6.2?
by frenche＠telalink.net 25 Dec '99

I've been trying to get my printer working with WordPerfect8 using SuSE 6.2. Is there a sample configuration file anywhere that I could use as a model? K-5, PR-166, 48 Mb ram, 2x10gig & 1x1.2gig hd Jaton 57-P video card Canon BJC-4300 printer It seems like WordPerfect is maybe sending a WordPerfect file to ghost script and that's not working. I really don't know what is going on. I would really like to print my choice of 1 up, 2 up, 4 up with the additional choice of 2 sided printing enabled/disabled. How do I do this? How can I get more free fonts that ghostscript can use? -- Jeff French this signature file made with vim For the best Linux reading list click: http://wwww.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Reading-List-HOWTO.html -- 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/

Hello, I just recently got Q3demo to run on my system: K6II-300, 128 Mbs, Voodoo3, SuSE 6.3. Here's a basic list of what you might need (this is taken from the SuSE support DB): xsvga(series xsrv) glide_v2(series x3d) For all cards, the following packages are necessary from series x3d: mesa mesa3dfx dev3dfx glidesdk Optionally, you can install the package glutdemo, which contains several 3D demo applications. Make sure you DO NOT have mesasoft! .Switch to full screen mode Set variable MESA_GLX_FX to f. That is, using bash: export MESA_GLX_FX=f. It is a good idea to put this statement in the startup file, .bashrc. (Or in .xinitrc) This last bit is very important, it's what gives you full screen and will probably make everything faster. BTW, I have mesa3.0-69. Also, when installing I selected the libMesa option that was presented during the demo setup screen, without it, performance was very slow.
