It contained your suse registration number and the Star Office mediakey. The mediakey just allows you to install far enough to go online and get a real regnum and user id from StarOffice. - 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>>

It revolved around a conflict with my soundcard. My solution? Set printer irq to 7 in bios. Use yast to setup printer on /dev/lp0 Set my souncard to irq5 It was weird, I could not use sound on irq7, even if I chose irq5 and /dev/lp1 for the printer. - 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>>

I've got *both* this (Charactar devices) and the CONFIG_PARAPORT parallel support compiled into the kernel, but no luck. I've also reedited /etc/printcap for lp0 and lp1, to try each port (you might try this yourself). No luck. With me, the initial problem was lacking the correct permissions for the /var/spool/lpd/"printer"....auto.... directory. Jobs didn't spool. Now that I've chmod 755'd the directory, print jobs spool okay, but I still get this error: lpr: connect: Connection refused jobs queued, but cannot start daemon The man pages indicate that what's going on here is this: lpr can't talk to the daemon (which is already started, because I verified this w/ ps aux).

[SuSE Linux] soundcard?
by david.buyle＠online.be 06 Mar '99

06 Mar '99

Hi, I should probably start out by mentioning that I'm a complete novice to linux and computers in general. A few days after buying the linux cd's I finally succeeded in more or less installing the system and x is running. But how can I get some sound out of it? I looked in yast "integrate hardware innto system", but nothing there about a soundcard or anything. (Assuming soundcard is hardware). I think I have a 'soundblaster pro' or something like that.
