RE: [SuSE Linux] KPPP Configuration - What's wrong with this picture?
by Burt_Philip＠emc.com 01 Apr '99

01 Apr '99

Just last night, I got kppp working with my modem. The modem was the biggest pain (pnp Boca SoundExpression combo sound/modem card -- had to disable pnp OS setting from BIOS, and configure the modem to be on ttyS3). Once I had the modem working (verified with minicom), kppp was a cinch! The biggest problems I had with kppp were caused by Yast setting the permissions on pppd incorrectly. As a newbie, I didn't want to deal with the low-level ppp crud right away. Kppp did a nice job of hiding this from me. I feel that the biggest improvement that could be made to kppp is in the area of diagnostics. As a newbie, I had a tough time figuring out where the output from pppd was getting dumped. I also had a tough time figuring out that my ISP might not be using the "default" ppp login method (mine uses CHAP). Give me a couple weeks and maybe I will attempt to add these enhancements. First I had to download and compile 2.2.4 to get the framebuffer device working so I could use my S3 Trio3D graphics card. Then I had to pound on my crazy modem. Sound is the next challenge! Wish me luck. -----Original Message----- From: Benjamin A.

[SuSE Linux] Segmentation fault with GNOME's freecell
by billmadsen＠mindspring.com 01 Apr '99

01 Apr '99

I keep getting a segmentation fault message when I try to start freecell under GNOME. I have installed all the recommended rpm's for Gnome , and I have encountered no problems. But I installed only freecell (with the cardgames library) from the games rpm because it's the only computer game I play. Is there perhaps another program or library included in the games rpm that I should have installed? Or is there a problem with freecell? I have 64MB of swap space and 32MB of RAM. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

You got the right impression. :) Linux has nothing to compare with Logic Audio and that sort of thing. It has some cheesey sequencers, but they are not very good, and are far from professional quality and feature expectations. I think Linux has done well in the graphics department, and is continually getting better. I guess there are more visual artists than audio artists in the Linux world.
