[SuSE Linux] libc doesn't work anymore.
by hattons＠CPKWEBSER5.ncr.disa.mil 26 Feb '99

26 Feb '99

I was trying to get some aspects of KDE1.1 working and attempted a forced reinstall of klibs. I had been using kpackage. The moment I forced the install kpackage stopped working. Now when I try to run it from the command line I get: bash-2.02# kpackage kpackage: error in loading shared libraries libkfile.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I ran ldconfig -v and saw libkfile.so.1 associated with libkfile.so.1.0.0. I then ran ldd /opt/kde/bin/* and culled the following: bash-2.02# cat not_found.txt libjscript.so.0 => not found libkdecore.so.1 => not found libkdeui.so.1 => not found libkfile.so.1 => not found libkfm.so.1 => not found libkhtmlw.so.1 => not found libmediatool.so.1 => not found libsane-dll.so.1 => not found ########################################## It seems to me that all of these are from libc and not glibc.

[SuSE Linux] PCI Modem configuration
by yatsen-ng＠cistron.nl 26 Feb '99

26 Feb '99

I have an E-Tech PCI 56k internal modem which I'm trying to configure. I used minicom to create a configuration file. I set the serial device to /dev/ttyS2 since my modem is on the third serial port. The speed is set to 115200bps (Baud/Par/Bits: 115200 8N1). I saved the setup as default and tried to test my modem. I didn't get an OK prompt in the terminal. Oh yes, I also set the modem to the correct port with YaST during the installation. What am I doing wrong?

good day all ... i'm trying to build support for mounting dos filesystems in kernel 2.2.1. i configured and installed a new kernel with module support including enabling module support for fat/vfat/minix/msdos, built and installed the modules (they are in /lib/modules/2.2.1) and booted the new kernel with no problem. when i try to mount /dev/hda2 (fat partition), i get this error: mount: fs type fat not supported by kernel. my 2.0.36 kernel mounts this filesystem just fine. any suggestions would be appreciated! thanks! -- -- michael - 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>>

[SuSE Linux] 2.2.2 breaks networking?
by marc.a.abrams＠intel.com 26 Feb '99

26 Feb '99

Hi: I just followed some instructions to update SuSE 6.0 from 2.0.36 to 2.2.2 on an IBM Thinkpad 600 laptop and they worked just fine... except it broke my networking. I then recompiled the pcmcia package and got the adapter working, but now the scripts are all screwed up because it cannot find the dhcpcd daemon. I tried reinstalling the dhcpc.rpm from the distribution cd, but that didn't work either. I then tried to set a fixed IP address, and that didn't work. I'm at a loss here... help. marc. ------------------------------------------------- Marc Abrams Product Marketing Engineer Broadband Access Operation Intel Corporation 503-264-0167 800-325-8275 pager marc.a.abrams(a)intel.com ------------------------------------------------- - 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>>

Re: [SuSE Linux] I broke my linux box
by kester＠cwcom.net 26 Feb '99

No, this is a problem using kdm. I guess you had to reboot to stop it and then your filesystem needed e2fsck checking? If it did, first re-mount as advised to allow you to write and then disable graphical login in rc.config. then try starting x (startx) and killing it (Ctrl + Alt + backspace), manually changing the parameters of xf86config file as needed. When you have gotit working to your satisfaction, it will be safe to re-enable kdm. You may need to run the file system check (at a guess e2fsck -f -b 8193 /dev/yourrootpartition). Once everything is fixed, reboot and kdm should start as normal. k. -----Original Message----- From: Dominic MacDonald-Aveyard <dominic_mcdonald_aveyard(a)yahoo.com> To: suse-linux-e(a)suse.com <suse-linux-e(a)suse.com> Date: Thursday, February 25, 1999 10:22 PM Subject: [SuSE Linux] I broke my linux box : :Hey there again everyone, : :Well I gone and done it this time.

[SuSE Linux] Netscape/KDE 1.1 problem?
by phil＠stokes.demon.co.uk 26 Feb '99

26 Feb '99

Since upgrading to KDE 1.1 (which I did by uninstalling all of the KDE 1.0 rpms and then installing the 1.1 rpms in the order suggested in the SDB) Netscape insists on opening its windows offset to the physical screen, such that the top left corner is inset from the upper and left screen edges, and the bottom and right edges of the window are off screen. Maximising the window returns it to a sensible position wholly within the screen display, but it's annoying to have to do that each time I open it, and despite trying various ways to get it to learn its position after I've positioned it where I want it, next time I start it, it opens offset to the screen again. I've tried de and re-installing Netscape, fiddling with the config files (/opt/netscape/Netscape.ad and ~/.netscape/preferences.js) but no matter what I do I can't seem to get it to behave. I've also noticed an error message in my logs that's only occurred since installing KDE 1.1: kdm[206]: can't execute "XBINDIR/xrdb" (err 2) Since man xrdb teels me that xrdb is responsible for setting various screen parameters for use by applications, I'm guessing that perhaps the two things might be connected. The problem seems to be that $XBINDIR is an uninitialised variable on my system, but in what file should I be setting it? And if the two aren't connected, does anyone have any ideas how I can force Netscape to do as it's told!
