[SuSE Linux] Where did suseppp go?
by jperser＠airmail.net 04 Jun '99

Two quick questions. 1. Why did suseppp disappear from the 6.1 distribution 2. In setting up the networking, what is a PPP Partner? -- John Perser Audio Evangelist & Product Mgr.

[SuSE Linux] Gnome
by s_oceallaigh＠yahoo.com 04 Jun '99

04 Jun '99

Now that I have SuSE 6.1 installed. I'd like to give gnome another try. I've used it before on another distribution. Looking at the rpms listed under the gnm series, there seems to be quite a few! In fact there are more there than I remember having to install. I searched the support database under gnome and also looked in the manual but I have not found any instructions for installing gnome from the SuSE 6.1 cdroms. Do I just select all of the files listed under the gnm series? If you do that you start to get questions about dependencies and whether you want to auto select other files needed. As I have a slow internet connection, I'd like to avoid just giving up and downloading it all from www.gnome.org. Anyone had any success at installing gnome from the SuSE 6.1 cdroms? If so, which files did you install? Thanks, Sean Kelley _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

[SuSE Linux] Informix again
by reynald_w＠yahoo.com 04 Jun '99

04 Jun '99

I've acquired a 30 day trial of Informix Dynamic Server for Linux. The documentation on it is rather useless. I have gotten so far with it and can't seem to get anything to work quite right. I've setup the INFORMIXDIR, INFORMIXSERVER envrironments, set the PATH to the right place. I can run dbaccess, but get some strange errors. I can try and connect to the demo_on database and get "The appl process cannot connect to Dynamic server demo_on. No such file or directory" I didn't type the database in, it gave it to me as an option along with demo_se. I assume that I need to seutp some more configurations with this. Anyone have a page conveniently layed out for just such an occasion? Or can help me with this?

[SuSE Linux] SuSE 6.1 and Video4Linux
by eck＠raytheon.com 04 Jun '99

04 Jun '99

Hello, Does the new SuSE 6.1 support video4linux. If I install SuSE will the default kernel load modules to support my WinTV card. I currently run RH 5.2 with kernel 2.2.9 and use the WinTV card without problems except I have to have the modules either loaded by hand or at bootup. They never unload. I'm hoping SuSE 6.1 will handle video4linux modules (bttv) the same way sound was handled under SuSE 5.3, that is, load and unload modules as needed.

Re: [SuSE Linux] SOLVED Accented characters ( LATIN-1 )
by s_oceallaigh＠yahoo.com 04 Jun '99

Evidently SuSE provides a default compose key in the form of the right control key. So all I have to do to enter accented Latin-1 characters is to type: rght-ctrl + ' + letter for example: rght-ctrl + ' + a = á ( a acute ) This is great!

No, this will not work (it's on our todo). After starting xconfig, choose the very first menu item ("Sprache der Kernel Konfiguration"). Choose english. Now leave the program ("speichern"), and on the next start it will come up in english. Switching languages on the fly is not yet there.
