[SuSE Linux] I think a kitten was nibbling on my mouse
by lhedrin＠SSG.PETsMART.com 03 May '99

03 May '99

<ADDRESS>Title: I think a kitten was nibbling on my mouse</ADDRESS> I have finally installed 6.0 on my system and I have finally gotten Xwindows to install almost perfectly. The one thing that I have not been able to do is to get my mouse to work under Xwindows(FVWM, AfterStep, KDE,etc). I have tried everything that I can think of but Still it is a no go. Can any one help. WHY SUSE? I have tried all of the distributions (Slackware, Caldera, RH, Debian, WGS) SuSE, seems to be the easiest to work with and the one that I have chosen to stick with. While I will not say that it is perfect, I seem to have the easiest time with it(being quite the little newbie). ADDITIONALLY When every I boot my system, it seems that one of my programs is still receiving a Malloc Error. Does anyone have any experience with any similar problem. Thank You! Les C.

[SuSE Linux] ppp w/ kernel 2.2.7
by klkkelly＠netscape.net 03 May '99

Has anyone heard of this one: When issuing the command net, alias for /etc/suseppp/scripts/ppp-up isp there is at least a 10 second delay before the modem begins to dial. Everything sounds fine (its internal) but then the connections dies. Modem started instantly w/previous setup. The problem started immediately after I compiled and installed kernel 2.2.7 and rebooted...booted old kernel and still had the problem. Running 6.0 w/32 megs ram and 300Mhz k6 with hayes 33.6 internal modem. I got ppp running w/no problems using suseppp when I first got the disto and have had no problems until now. Here is what /var/log/messages had to say about it: shaolin kernel: CSLIP: code copyright 1989 Regents of the University of California shaolin kernel: PPP: version 2.2.0 (dynamic channel allocation) shaolin kernel: PPP Dynamic channel allocation code copyright 1995 Caldera, Inc. shaolin kernel: PPP line discipline registered. shaolin kernel: registered device ppp0 shaolin pppd[341]: pppd 2.3.5 started by root, uid 0 shaolin pppd[341]: Serial connection established. shaolin pppd[341]: Using interface ppp0 shaolin pppd[341]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/modem shaolin pppd[341]: sent [LCP ConfReq id=0x1 <asyncmap 0x0> <magic 0x5b76f913> <pcomp> <accomp>] shaolin last message repeated 9 times shaolin pppd[341]: LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests shaolin pppd[341]: Connection terminated. shaolin pppd[341]: Receive serial link is not 8-bit clean: shaolin pppd[341]: Problem: all had bit 7 set to 0 shaolin pppd[341]: Terminating on signal 2 Thanks in advance!

[SuSE Linux] upgrade SuSE 5.2 to kernel 2.2.7
by patrick＠kirks.net 03 May '99

03 May '99

Hi all, Just installed SuSE 2.2 on my home machine and want to upgrade the kernel as a learning exercise. Is there a useful howto or list of needed updates to do this? A link of a page where I can work out what downloads are needed would be great. Thanks in advance! Patrick Tips on flaming #114 "Before you criticise someone, walk a mile in their shoes.

[SuSE Linux] 3Dfx Voodoo Banshee
by flemoine＠net.manpower.be 03 May '99

03 May '99

As far as I know, it is not possible to install a 3Dfx Voodoo Banshee video card on SuSE 6.0. Correct ? However, is it possible to install this video card with *reduced* features, like a standard SVGA or something, and be able to use KDE anyway ? If yes, what should I do, knowing that my card (Dragon 4000, from Gainward) is not listed in SaX. Thanks for your answer, I'm getting very confused with those matters.

[SuSE Linux] Ethernet problem
by mezger＠surfree.com 03 May '99

03 May '99

Hi all, I've been trying to set up my network this weekend w/o much success :( I've got two boxes connected using RJ45 Crossover cable. In my main box (a Gateway G6-400 running SuSE 6.0) I have a Netgear FA310tx card. It actually came with a linux driver (tulip). In the other box (an old Compaq prolinea 4/66 running SuSE 5.2) I have a Netgear EA201 (ISA)card. This did not come with any Linux driver. It is NE2000 compatible though. I managed to set them up correctly (I'm pretty sure) in each of the boxes... that is to say that i compiled support into the kernels and each device is setup when booting. In yast I went to 'network base configuration' and added ethernet (eth0) on each of the boxes. On my main box I gave it an ip of 192.168.0.99 the crappy box was given an ip of 192.168.0.44 I then activated the device on each and rebooted. At this point I'm thinking that I should be setup and ready to go. Am I wrong? I try to ping the old computer using 'ping 192.168.0.44' but it doesnt do anything... no error messages or anything. I press ^C and of course it tells me how many packets were sent and that all were lost. I tried the same thing on the old box with the same results. Can someone point me in the right direction? I'm pretty new to networking as is obvious. What should I do? What am i doing wrong?

Pioneer CD-ROm in in another box, coping with Windows, but I'd like to check your suggestions. Also, maybe it is worth (if there are more cases) to warn people in using Pioneer CD-ROM with (SuSE) Linux. Better to see on the list that there could be a problem than to complain later. There are so many CD-ROM drives on the market, so it is really not a big deal.
