I cannot get the TeX Live! 'install packages' shell script to work off the CD. I found the standard distro of teTeX with SuSE ancient and unusable when it came to reproducing the examples in the LateX Graphics Companion, e.g. the version of pstricks has 'gradient', etc. packages that were updated in 1997... If anyone can help, please do... k. : :A couple of examples of things I've done or plan to do: : :- Installing KDE 1.1 on a SuSE 5.3 system (works fine, but I dread the : next update) : :- Installing the TeXLive distribution : :Thoughts, anyone? : :Paul Abrahams : : : :- :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>> - 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>>

Did you configure your system as a DHCP client? This disables the manual network configuration.

[SuSE Linux] My italian keyboard can speaks greek
by paspartu＠uni.net 01 Mar '99

01 Mar '99

Good Morning, 8:20, here I received my SuSE 6.0 saturday. The 5.3 setup was better than the 6.0. I did a fresh install for the 6.0, not an upgrade. The first thing I happen to face was (and still I'm a facing it). My keyboard is of the QWERTY type (the type depends on the first six letter on the keyboard, so you can have qwerty qwertz and azerty which correspond to english german and france keyboards) with the necessary accented letters (egrave, eacute ecc.) on the left of the "enter" button. In YaST I chosed "qwerty-it", tried out and I got a few greek letters, namely: alpha, capitol Phi, theta ecc. Well, it may be useful when I type math symbol in latex, but I happen more often to use accented letters and i still prefer to type an è instead of \'e. The same behaviour happens with "qwerty-ibm" and "qwerty-it2", but didn't happen with SuSE 5.3. When I am in an X window I have a full italian keyboard. There are other oddities but I will further investigate before posting to this list and to the customer support. Suggestions? TIA Maurizio. P.S. I noticed that in the 5.3 manual and in also in the 6.0 manual the name of Lenz Grimmer is not mentioned! Don't worry, Lenz, I just corrected it ;-) P.P.S There is also an nice sticker with the SuSE logo. Very nice...if my keyboard talks italian...

[SuSE Linux] Login-error
by koen.colpaert＠lin.vlaanderen.be 01 Mar '99

Hi everybody, When I start my computer running SuSE 6.0 I receive the following error : "cannot determine local host name. Use the servername directive to set it manually". When I press enter, I get the prompt and the login-process works just fine. How do I remove this error and what should I do to start x (KDE) automaticaly. I used Redhat before SuSE and then it was OK to edit the etc/inittab manually. This may sound a "basic" question but I'm new to all this.

This should not be mixed up with my note to you about certain packages which include encription stuff. "crypt.h" belongs to the C library (glibc2) and should be installed by default on a SuSE 6.0 system.

RE: [SuSE Linux] ApplixWare installation glitch
by Mike.Pugh＠ALDERLEY.zeneca.com 01 Mar '99

01 Mar '99

Hi Rachel, I installed the libc6 version without a glitch. There is a "how-to" on the web-site, and it tells you that you need to download a small C library first, but then follow the glibc installation from CD002 - from within YaST. This worked fine for me, but you could also install it as per the CD booklet instructions for Red-Hat. Here's the URL to the relevant Support Database page: <A HREF="http://www.suse.de/Support/sdb_e/applix_suse60.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.de/Support/sdb_e/applix_suse60.html</A">http://www.suse.de/Support/sdb_e/applix_suse60.html</A</A>> HTH, Mike. > ---------- > From: Rachel Greenham[SMTP:rachel@epinet.co.uk] > Sent: 01 March 1999 13:05 > To: suse-linux-e(a)suse.com > Subject: [SuSE Linux] ApplixWare installation glitch > > > Well actually, when I just let it do its stuff, it worked fine... > > I bought ApplixWare for Linux this weekend and went to install it. > > Now, I've got SuSE 6.0 installed which is apparently libc6 (glibc).

Re: [SuSE Linux] PCI Modem configuration

This might seem obvious but caught me out a couple of weeks ago. Is your PCI modem a real modem or a 'Winmodem'. If it's a winmodem, it will not work under Linux as I found out to my cost.
