by imm＠KidsCare.Net 01 Apr '99

01 Apr '99

When I switch from kde F7 to one of the other terminals F1 - F6 it sometimes goes black doesn't do anything.Ctrl Alt F? doesn't help at all. Ctrl Alt Backspace does not work and i have to turn power off i hate this because I switch between terminals and kde often. Recently I have installed AcceleratedX 5.0 and also upgraded kde to 1.1. Any info much appreciated Thank you Ian Moore -- 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] Automatic module loading?
by Anthony.Schlemmer＠gte.net 01 Apr '99

01 Apr '99

Just recently I installed a parallel port based Zip250 drive on my box. It works quite well with the "imm" driver that the Zip plus drive uses. I manually loaded the imm driver using insmod but when I tried to mount the Zip drive as a VFAT file system a bunch of errors spewed out of the kernel. I had built all of the FAT filesystem stuff into modules and I thought that modules would be loaded automatically. I ran "modprobe vfat" and then I was able to mount my Zip drive. Is there some trick to get modules to load/unload automatically? I see that things like my network card driver and sound stuff load automatically when needed but this doesn't seem to be the case for the FAT filesystem stuff. My solution at this point will be to try loading the necessary modules for the zip drive from /sbin/init.d/boot.local.

RE: [SuSE Linux] YAST masquerade setting
by WALKERSC＠CIBC.CA 01 Apr '99

It is very simple to set up. Below is my config info Paranoid.snurgle.org <- main linux box hooked up via ADSL \-192.168.1.1 <- Internal IP \- 209.226.67.216 Assigned ip via DHCP ETH0 = Attached to cable modem ETH1 = Attached to internal network All I did was, use yast to run the dhclient on eth0 9Altho the client they give out it crap, I had to compile my own, 1.3.16 I belever the version I use is), I then bring up ETH1, assign it's ip, and ipchains to setup ip masq, and viola it works. I can go into more details if you want. But it was quite simple. ______________________________ Reply Separator _________________________________ Subject: Re: [SuSE Linux] YAST masquerade setting Author: "Bob Easton" [SMTP:reaston@stny.lrun.com] at BCEEXCH Date: 3/31/99 10:56 AM On 1 Apr 99, at 16:26, Lenz Grimmer wrote: > > Hi, > > On Thu, 1 Apr 1999, Paul Hostetler wrote: > > > On Thu, 1 Apr 1999, Lenz Grimmer wrote: > > > Have a look at the package "firewall".

[Not nagging here but I *think* this works on RedHat, but I could be wrong.] I too wish to use a SuSE box as my gateway between RoadRunner and my local network. Is there *any* configuration that will work? I thought I read something about having two dissimilar NICs (and drivers) made things work. I'm about to buy a VA Research system and may have to resort to RedHat (e-gads) if there is no way around this! The RR system requires DHCP - but how about if I run DHCP on my local network as well? Will SuSE run a DHCP client on one NIC and a DHCP server on another? That is to say, is the problem mainly with having a *static IP* on one NIC while running DHCP on the other? Can we expect a fix for this soon?

[SuSE Linux] YAST masquerade setting
by ljackson＠techlinks.com 01 Apr '99

01 Apr '99

Hello: Is there an appropriate place via YAST or the rc.config for that matter where I can set the following: /sbin/ipfwadm -F -p masquerade ..I have to manually run this every time I start my server in order for my Win95 clients to have access to the net. I'd prefer if this were run every time I start or re-start box Linux SuSE 6.0 box. Also, are there additional ipfwadm commands/options I have to run in order to permit UDP packets into my box? All my Win95 clients who listen to RealAudio or RealVideo content via RTSP or PNA with UDP packets don't come in. As a result, RealNetwork's smart networking feature kicks in and sends them with a TCP header to get through. Consequently, there's a poorer performance.

[SuSE Linux] Networking, DHCP
by paulken＠metaphor.no 01 Apr '99

01 Apr '99

This week we were having a little work session where we needed to set up four PCs in a network. We borrowed a hub and an ISDN router and set out to do our thing. Put in the ip addresses for the network cards, and checked the set up of networking options, and connected the computers to the network. No joy. Tried two computers with a crossed network cable. No joy. Tried the same in windows. Much joy. OK, tried the DHCP setup from yast. No joy. Just one packet got through from one of the computers (could see the router dialing) but then nothing. In windows, joy. What on earth is going on here, I've done this before, (just networking two comps off one crossed TP cable) and it worked flawlessly.
