[SuSE Linux] "Can't create /var/spool" printing error.
by misc.word.corp＠pobox.com 02 Mar '99

02 Mar '99

After upgrading to 2.2.1, I discovered that I can't get my HP-compatible printer (on /dev/lp1) to work. Here's the error message when I call lpr on any printing job: "cannot create /var/spool/lpd/ljet2p-letter-auto-mono-300/.seq" Any idea as to what might be behind this? I don't think it's permission-related, but I may be wrong. -- Glenn -- - 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] Which kernel?
by dominic_mcdonald_aveyard＠yahoo.com 02 Mar '99

02 Mar '99

Hey there everyone, Thanks for the advice on how to install 6. Now, I have another question: which kernel? I'm just slightly confused by all the different versions. I've heard that the 1.1.something kernel that comes with SuSE 6, or at least the newer kernel closest to 2.2 is pretty reliable and faster than before. I was really wanting to use a version that is stable, won't break ppp and has the snazzy new disk caching linux filesystem I've seen 2.2 has. Is 2.2.1 perhaps the best to go for? Which one is the one to use do you think? Any help would as always be greatly appreciated. All these numbers... *headspin* ... :-) I look forward to actually being able to answer something on here soon-ish... Cheers!

[SuSE Linux] KDE on 5.2 SUSE with rpm
by oms101＠clara.co.uk 02 Mar '99

02 Mar '99

I looked everywhere I could for rpm's for KDE, so I desided to download the gziped tarballs of KDE1.1 and compile them myself. The base of KDE compiled without problems, just follow the instructions on the INSTALL file and wait, and wait and wait. I tried compiling and installing glib C once and that was quick in comparison. The only compilation problems I had was that KDE 1.1 works with a more up to date Qt libary, and kfax. kfax had a probelm compiling, I dont know what as I am just a newbie, only haveing used linux for a year. Anyway, the make files are rearly good with kde, and you just need to remove the name of the faulty app once from the make file (It only occures once) this stops the neet recursive script from compiling that directory. Once this is done the rest of the graphics packages installed perfectly. Was it worth it? Well KDE 1.1 looks better, it is generaly the same but improved, I think if you can afford the time go ahead, but it is a big down load.

Hi everyone! I'm having trouble with samba and I don't understand what is going on. I'm trying to access a Red Hat 5.1 Linux Server with samba 2.0.0 from a SuSE 6.0 station with samba 1.9.18.

Folkx, I wonder whether the list management package "SmartList" works OK under SUSE. Is there any rpm ? Here, we run Majordomo on an over 2 K user distribution list and would like to test something else ... Any thoughts are welcome.

I have not accomplished this yet (permanently). I have been on RR with SuSE 6.0. You just have to set up your IP/Mask/DNS info and go.
