[SuSE Linux] SuSE 6.0 - Confused
by blackflag＠blackflag.net 01 Feb '99

01 Feb '99

Hi -- I'm confused.. I bought 5.3 on CD and have it installed. When 6.0 (US) comes out, can I ftp the update files which are just rpm's that YaST or rpm can handle? Is it just that easy? Better yet, I've been to ftp.suse.com and see /suse_update and /suse which lead to some sort of Suse-6.0 directory... where do I go on the ftp site to get the 6.0 files? Basically I'm interested in getting the rpm's for glibc6 and updated gtk libraries... most everything else I can do myself. Any guidance is greatly appreciated. - 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>>

Has anyone been able to get a 'STB Velocity 4400' video card to work correctly with suse (or any linux)? All I get are 8bit graphics... even when using 'startx -bpp xx'. This really bums me out :-( Please... if anyone knows how I can get this thing to work please tell me.

This features is already in kerneld, too. If I do an /sbin/lsmod I can see that some modules are loaded and target as (autoclean) which means that such modules are automatically removed by kerneld when they are not been used for more than one minute. I currently use this feature for the floppy drive module. On the output of /sbin/lsmod there is a field called "pages": 1 page of memory is 4 kB.

anyone got some pointers on DNS setup? I do not have a network, but understand that a DNS server is required for proper operation of PPP . I have setup ppp server so i can dial in from work. i have been able to configure a local cache nameserver using localhost 127.0.0.1, naturally windows95 does not allow 127.x.x.x address in thier dial-up networking config, so i added a lan ip address i saw in some how-to : 172.16.0.1 and then ppp would work as far as connecting but still have no DNS .......anytime i try to point my web browser on the ms machine to the server (the linux box) it reports host not found. actually the only address the w95 machine would ever ask for is the name of the host. btw: outbound ppp works fine using kppp which writes my isp's dns addresses to resolv.conf don - 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>>

[SuSE Linux] lock files protocol
by jkirving＠mosquitonet.com 01 Feb '99

01 Feb '99

I'm trying to get a handle on using the modem via perl, and find that perl's open() seems to hang or block on accessing the modem. If I run minicom in another xterm, however, then open() works (my test application is not honoring the lock file, of course). I've tried to find information on the lock file protocol, but with limited success, and the best I've come up with is by looking at the minicom source which deals with the modem lock file. Both ppp and minicom use the same lock file format, putting the process id in the file /var/lock/LCK..modem. I don't think this is SuSE-specific, but could someone point me at some documentation on the lock file protocol?
