[SuSE Linux] Connecting to AT&T Worldnet
by jus10＠softhome.net 06 Jun '99

06 Jun '99

I'm having trouble connecting to AT&T. I used wvdial and connected with no problems. When I try to setup ppp-up with chat, it disconnects after a few seconds. Has anyone gotten this to work or have any suggestions on how to get this to work. Any help would be appreciated, Justin Settle -- 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>>

Re: [SuSE Linux] SuSE has updated boxed 6.1 set 2.2.5 -> 2.2.7

Hi all, may your Linux Boxen be going well. Now, about this business to do with various versions of 6.1.... We say in logic, that let. a = a. Programers & logicians in the house, know what I am talking about. Therefore, if and only if, when 6.1 under goes an improvement or change, it logically follows that it is no longer 6.1 but some other beastie, like 6.1a or some such thing. Not making this explicate, causes errors and these have been spoken to in various posts to this list. Ralph Clark wrote the following....

Jeff Lasman made some reasonable criticisms about SuSE's product, which those of us who are using it for something more than a hobby would like to see addressed. I don't recall him making any personal attacks on the SuSE staff, either. Your defence of SuSE - and Thorsten's surprisingly unprofessional treatment of SuSE customers - seems kind of knee-jerk to me. It doesn't add anything constructive, it just raises the temperature. All those present on this list support SuSE and their product to some degree, there's no other reason for us to be here. But some of us would like it to continue to improve so that we don't need to consider switching distributions at the next upgrade cycle." Ditto what you said Ralph. Jeff Lasman, thanks for your reasonable and constructive criticisms. Jerry Lynn Kreps by all means disagree with who ever, but drop all this personal attack stuff, please.... This list is a cool place, because there is a constructive but not a Disney land like uncritically constructive forum. So lets keep it cool, eh? Greek Geek.

[SuSE Linux] Modem busy and memory and lilo?
by rowf＠xnet.com 06 Jun '99

06 Jun '99

Hello, I have a few problems that I need to resolve. Background: I have a p60 system with 49 Meg of ram, 100meg swap. Suse 6.1 with the 2.2.5 kernel. EIDE hard drives, floppy tape and an ATAPI cdrom, all in all a generic system. I'm dual booting between Suse 6.1 and Caldera 1.2. I'm trying to 'migrate' from Caldera to Suse. The system is to be used as for ipmasquarading and general linux box. I am new to Suse, loaded it last night:) I am relatively new to linux but I'm an experienced Unix and PC admin. I've been reading this list for the last week. Now to my problems 1) What's eating up my ram? After boot the free command shows that I have about 44meg of ram being used. I have recompiled the kernel to get rid of things I don't need. SCSI, ramdisks and other various drivers and options that I won't use. This didn't reduce the amount of ram that is being used just after booting up. This is with nothing else running, no X or any other user applications. Is there something I'm missing, am I making a Stupid User Error(tm) or is there something about the new kernel that I don't understand. 2) I too have the 'modem busy' problem. I have an external USR modem on Com1. I know it works. It's what I'm using right now from within Caldera 1.2. But kppp is telling me that the modem is busy. Minicom is ignoring the modem too. I have tried using /dev/modem and /dev/ttyS0 in both apps. I set the modem up with Yast and I have double checked the dev directory. Oh and a cu -l /dev/ttyS0 -s 2400 tells me that it got the hang up signal and cu exits. 3) lilo doesn't want to configure for a kernel on my second disk. I have put my Caldera on hdb, (Suse is on hda). I can't get Suses' lilo to recognize the kernel on hdb. It tells me that it can't open /vmlinuz. I have a default lilo.conf other than adding in the boot from hdb. The relevant section of the lilo.conf looks like so: image = /boot/vmlinuz root = /dev/hda1 label = suse_linux image = /vmlinuz root = /dev/hdb1 label = caldera Any and all help is greatly appreciated Richard -- 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>>
