[SuSE Linux] Vote for SuSE
by naceur＠wanadoo.fr 10 Feb '99

10 Feb '99

I hope that SuSE will be boosted with our votes ! I am sure that the people how used to work with Unixes like HP, Solaris on workstations or Windows would find SuSE very nice. This is the real comparison ! But difficult to do We need to advertise more towards those communities.

[SuSE Linux] Kernel compile
by verdesoft＠verdesoft.com 09 Feb '99

09 Feb '99

Is it safest to do the recompile through the command line only? I didn't think about this before, but will it make a difference that I compiled through x windows?

[SuSE Linux] Problems with smbmount - SuSE 6.0 with 2.2.1
by rachel＠epinet.co.uk 09 Feb '99

09 Feb '99

Eek! Suddenly I find I can't mount our NT servers! OK, I had the Samba 1.9-something as installed from SuSE 6.0, and I'm running kernel 2.2.1. I can print fine to a Samba printer (except from Word Perfect but that's another story), and I can log on using smbclient. But attempting to mount NT shares fails, with "Invalid argument". The exact same smbmount command on the system rebooted with SuSE 2.0.36 works fine. I tried upgrading to Samba 2.0 (2.0.0 as there's a SuSE rpm available for it, but smbmount itself reports version 2.0.2) but it made no difference. I tried taking SMB support out of the 2.2.1 kernel, and making it available as a module - with the module not loaded I get, unsurprisingly "Operation not supported by device", then I insmod it and as before, "Invalid argument". Username/password definitely correct, by the way. And no difference no matter how pedantic I get with the other options. Now, another mystery: I tried downloading and installing Samba 2.0.0 before, when I was still on SuSE 6.0 beta. That time I did a make-and-install rather than from an rpm, (and never did finish installing eg: man pages which were also very different) and the smbmount I got was *completely* different - different syntax, different man pages etc. (eg: instead of mbmount //<server>/<service> <mount-point> -U <smbusername> -P <smbpassword> -u <username> it was mbmount "\\\\<server>\\<service>" <smbpassword> -c 'mount <mount-point> -u <username>' Very odd, but it worked (except that it didn't keep the sessions alive). But now, when I've reinstalled this 2.0.0, it's just as it was before.

[SuSE Linux] Staroffice help.
by suse_list＠hotmail.com 09 Feb '99

09 Feb '99

Hi all, I am running the commercial version of SuSE 5.2 and am currently downloading version 6.0 off the ftp site. I have also decided to take the plunge and be completely micro$oft free. in order to do this I have to get staroffice up and running (those uni assignments have to be written, and the compatibility with word is a very attractive feature, this way I can write part of them at uni if needed). Anyway, I understand that the ftp version of SuSE 6.0 doesn't come with staroffice. So my question is how do I go about installing staroffice from the version I will download from stardivision, using SuSE 6.0?? I am completely clueless as to where to start. If someone could give me some directions or even point me to some literature I would be really greatful, and there will be one less MS user out there! :) Cheers, Brad. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at <A HREF="http://www.hotmail.com"><A HREF="http://www.hotmail.com</A">http://www.hotmail.com</A</A>> - 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] Im quakin :) in my boots
by mperry＠basin.com 09 Feb '99

09 Feb '99

Tonite was my nite to get quake2 working in linux. This is one impressive game and the graphics are topnotch on the linux side. I dont have sound here but even so, quake2 rocks in silent mode. I remember getting doom to work awhile ago. Quake 2 just makes doom look rather pathetic. The readme file actually is helpful which is impressive. The readme spells out exactly how to get quake 2 working in linux and what the different renderers do. It doesnt hurt that ID released an rpm file which installs on suse 5.3 without a whisper... Did I ever say that this stuff is cool? :) Thanks SuSE. -- Michael E.

[SuSE Linux] Thanks
by verdesoft＠verdesoft.com 09 Feb '99

09 Feb '99

Thanks for all the help everyone :) So I guess not everyone uses wvdail. Anyway, I think what I would like to know how to do is get a Linux system online without using any 'extra's' so that I will be able to setup any machine in the future. I would like to be able to get online without even having to use suseppp, if possible. I am using Suse 5.3 right now, though I am sure I will upgrade it to v6 w/ kernel 2.2 Thanks again, Aaron _________________________________________________ <A HREF="mailto:verdesoft@verdesoft.com">mailto:verdesoft@verdesoft.com</A> VerdeSoft Internet Services <A HREF="http://www.verdesoft.com/"><A HREF="http://www.verdesoft.com/</A">http://www.verdesoft.com/</A</A>> Touchstone Climbing Inc.

[SuSE Linux] Connect / delay ??
by hatridge＠straubing.baynet.de 09 Feb '99

09 Feb '99

Hi all; I'm using PPP at the command line to connect to my ISP. Sometimes it is very slow or worst it picks up the phone but does not make a connection. Does anyone have a script to delay my fetchpop & sendmails commands until there is a connection? Perhaps checks for a connection before it runs the rest of my script? Right now I first run ppp-on and then (by hand) run the rest of my script. TIA!!!
