[SuSE Linux] Test
by adcarlso＠visinet.ca 04 Mar '99

04 Mar '99

This unfortunately is just a test...I sent two messages yesterday to the mailing list and they did not come through the list back to me. So I am testing to see if my messages do get through (might be in a certain YAST sendmail setting that I am experimenting with). Does anyone know what the lag time is from a mail send to a mail being received via the list? ---------------------------------- Arlen Carlson adcarlso(a)visinet.ca Q: What's a light-year?

[SuSE Linux] Yast and install via FTP
by graham＠barnowl.demon.co.uk 04 Mar '99

04 Mar '99

Please could Yast be "fixed" so that it handles "server full" errors better? Selecting install packages by FTP, works fine when the server allows you to connect. However as soon as a server rejects connection because it is busy, Yast seems to completely lose it place. Yast seems to be making a separate connection every time the directory tree is navigated, but when a connection fails it seems to forget where it is in the tree, and pressing <Enter> on the directory to which I wish to enter results in an "unknown directory" error when the server does allow the connection - Thus forcing me to start again. It would be nice if it could "remember" the correct place within the tree and connect to the correct directory when retrying a refused connection. - 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] Cable Modem set up help
by oceansand＠home.net 04 Mar '99

04 Mar '99

Hello I have obtained @home.net cable modem service, and now I'm trying to set up my SuSE 5.2 Linux box kernel 2.0.33. I have obtained the following HowTo articles: Net3-HowTo Cablemodem-miniHowTo DCHP-miniHowTo Ethernet-HowTo I have read the above HowTo, and have the basic idea of how to setup my linux box. But I could use some pointers? 1. To start have @home.net set up and running on Windows 98, and obtained the IP Configuration information with the following command "winipcfg" 2. Next I have decided on 3COM Ethernet card 3C509B-TPO ISA. This card is well supported by Linux and has plenty of Data transfer speed for my needs and this is the card used in my Windows 98 machine. 3. I know I have to recompile my kernel to included Network support and support for my Ethernet card, but I do not exactly know which Network options to included ( I do not think I need all options ) in my kernel? 4. Now I have added my setting to the different configuration files, can any one give me and idea of which files have to be set up? My understanding is: I'm setting up a work station on the @home.net network and do not need to setup a network server on my Linux box correct?

[SuSE Linux] gtk, glib, self compiled libs, and gnome 1.00 rpms
by mperry＠basin.com 04 Mar '99

04 Mar '99

Some email between another list member and myself prompts me to ask these questions... What will happen with gnome 1.00 rpms are released IF we have compiled gtk, glib, etc through sources and not rpms. ImO, the current state of gtk releases in rpm format is mired in unresolved dependencies, different revision levels for different things, etc. I want to upgrade to gnome 1.00 as soon as suse builds the rpms. Can someone speculate on how to handle these rpm's when I have already compiled gtk, glib 1.20? These are not in the rpm database whatsoever. What will happen when rpms start looking at dependency issues? I am more than a little concerned because I have spent a deal of time getting two systems to be more or less gnome aware using both rpms and sources. I eagerly await any information from suse regarding the current planning with gnome 1.00 and how I can keep my current gtk, glib, etc without getting trapped in the spiralling lib nightmare.

[SuSE Linux] HELP: Permissions of /dev/ttyS1
by camst65+＠pitt.edu 04 Mar '99

04 Mar '99

Hello I run SuSE 5.3. I just installed HylaFax and SuSE Fax, and I noticed that I could no longer dial-up using wvdial and the like---it tells me that I don't have permission all of a sudden. (I can dial as root!) For some reason though, I can still use Kppp to dial-up (as non-root). My /dev/modem is linked to /dev/ttyS1 which has the following permissions: crw------- 1 uucp uucp 4, 65 Mar 4 13:32 ./ttyS1 If I change these, they are almost immediately changed back (thank god for SuSE's quite thoughtful idiot proofing). Also, was this always uucp.uucp? Anyway, I am not sure what changed with the installation of HylaFax and SuSE Fax, but if it is connected, I also noticed that when I hit "get status" in SuSEFax, it tells me it is waiting for the modem to become ready. And, I am gettin mails that say that HylaFax thinks my modem is "wedged". What's that?!

[SuSE Linux] scsi cdrom problem
by xsusex＠hotmail.com 04 Mar '99

04 Mar '99

Hi, I'm trying to install SuSE 6.0 on a new SCSI HDD but the installation can't get past the "select installation media" stage. The hardware : MSI 6120 Dual PII mainboard with adaptec AIC 7895 UW SCSI adapter. One IBM U2W DDRS 34560 HDD and a Pioneer DR-U16S SCSI CDROM. I booted from the CDROM and it went into LINUXRC successfully. I went to 'Start Installation' and select 'Installation from CDROM'. After trying to mount the CDROM, it gave an error msg of 'An error occured during installation'. I went to Alt F4 and saw the following error msgs : Startup Unable to identify CDROM format VFS: brelse : Trying to free free buffer sr_photocd : (SONY/PIONEER) Hmm,seems like the CDROM doesn't support multisession CD's. Can anyone help me on this? thanks! ______________________________________________________ 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 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>>
