[SuSE Linux] sound configuration
by ariggins＠home.com 04 Jun '99

04 Jun '99

I was happy to see that oss finally released a beta driver for my sound card. I downloaded the demo version, and installed it without difficulty. However, it seems that I can only play CD's as root. When I log on as a normal user, I get the message: CDROM read or access error. Please make sure you have access permissions to: /dev/cdrom I checked permissions on the file and find the following: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 May 25 13:44 /dev/cdrom -> hdd Can anyone tell me what I need to do to get this working? I'm running SuSE 6.1, using KDE.

[SuSE Linux] Problems with ROOT NFS
by pallart＠nordnet.fr 04 Jun '99

04 Jun '99

Hi, I'm trying to use SuSE 6.1 as an X terminal, with an NFS root file system. Linux boot out of a floppy, requests its IP adress, get it from a dhcp server, and mounts its file system on the same server. It works, as you can see in the following log messages, on the server side: Jun 4 12:41:17 eth13-168 dhcpd: BOOTREQUEST from 00:50:04:37:71:bc via eth0 Jun 4 12:41:17 eth13-168 dhcpd: BOOTREPLY for 150.1.27.15 to eth27-015 (00:50:04:37:71:bc) via eth0 Jun 4 12:41:24 eth13-168 mountd[103]: NFS mount of /xterminals/root attempted from 150.1.27.15 Jun 4 12:41:24 eth13-168 mountd[103]: /xterminals/root has been mounted by 150.1.27.15 After that, the client as still a lot of things to do, as creating its own directory on the server (only the first time), where it will save its configuration files. But I get the following messages on the client's console: >RPC: sendmsg return error 101 >RPC: ... (the same message several times...) plus, sometimes, this one: >portmap: server localhost not responding, timed out. (I expect that this message means that a local service is falling) According to /usr/include/asm/errno.h, the error number 101 means "Network unreachable..." The root file system, built from a SuSE 6.0 , is working very well with a kernel 2.0.36, but I don't have the .config file corresponding to it. Here is my own .config file, perhaps somebody could find if something is wrong.

[SuSE Linux] SCSI Tape Support under Rescue
by bob100＠ibm.net 04 Jun '99

04 Jun '99

I want to use my SCSI tape drive under the SuSE rescue system. So I run the rescue floppy and mount my file system under /mnt. For what it's worth I use BRU. So I put /mnt/bru in my path and copy brutab and brusmartrest to /etc. BRU seems happy with this. But when I run 'mt -f /dev/nst0 status' the reply is "No such device." (/dev/nst0 *is* physically present with the proper attributes.) My guess is my problem is because I am lacking SCSI tape support -- which I normally compile into the kernel. So, the question is, how can one accomplish SCSI tape support under the rescue system? -bob- ---------------------------------- E-Mail: bob gordon <bob100(a)ibm.net> Date: 03-Jun-99 Time: 12:48:22 This message was sent by XFMail ---------------------------------- -- 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] PPPIOCGUNIT Operation (still) not permitted
by peter.pilgrim＠db.com 04 Jun '99

04 Jun '99

Hi I am still very much at a lost! I recently upgraded my laptop computer from Slackware 3.4 to SuSE Linux 6.1. I am trying to get SuSE Linux to connect to Demon Internet, but I keep getting errors from `pppd' where it said `operation not permitted' in the file `/var/log/messages'. I have also downloaded latest `pppd' 2.5.8 and it still did not work. Here are the messages: pppd[345]: pppd 2.3.8 started by root, uid 0 pppd[345]: kernel tty_io.c process (345) pppd used obsolete `/dev/cua2' up date software to use `/dev/ttyS2' ... ... pppd[345]: Serial connection established pppd[345]: ioctl(PPPIOCGUNIT): Operation not permitted pppd[345]: tcsetattr: Operation not permitted pppd[345]: Exit I checked everything that I could think of. I made sure that I tried to connect as the superuser. I checked that `/dev/modem' is symbolically linked to `/dev/ttyS2'. I also checked that the access permissions for the program `pppd' and device files were set to `root'. I have no difficulty dialing up to my ISP with my modem, but everytime the connection is completed, the `pppd' collapses. I suspect that has something to do with the second message about the obsolete `/dev/cua2'. I am clueless where to look next. I did also type `find /etc -type f -print | xargs grep -n cua2' , but I could not find any configuration file to help me. Any help greatly appreciated. -- Cheers Peter ----------------------------------------------------------------- import std.disclaimer; // More Lava for ya Java, mate!

RE: [SuSE Linux] Informix on 6.0
by Mike.Pugh＠ALDERLEY.zeneca.com 04 Jun '99

Hi Ren Informix SE (Standard Engine) comes with SuSE. However, Informix also have available for download Informix Online V7.30 (Dynamic Server), together with a $99 license. I have installed Online V7.30 successfully on a P166 with 48MB RAM, with one internal IDE disk and 7 external SCSI disks. We loaded a subset of our database (currently running on Alpha) onto the machine, and it works a treat. We just redirected the client application to the Linux machine and bingo! Performance was really good and comparable with our main server (although only one user was connected, you would probably get similar performce for 12 or so users).

[SuSE Linux] xfce-3.0.0pre1.tar.gz released (fwd)
by jljr＠globalfrontiers.com 04 Jun '99

04 Jun '99

Is any one else with SuSE 6.1 using XFce now? If so have you tried the latest version? I tried compiling an earlier version with the GTK om SuSE 6.0 but must have messed something up and ended up going back the version (2.4?) based on Xforms. It would be nice if SuSE incudeded XFce with the distribution, as XFCE is pretty nice and works well with KDE (perhaps gnome as well) programs and is pretty fast. joe Good news, XFce 3.0, aka GTK+XFce, pre release 1 is on <A HREF="http://www.xfce.org"><A HREF="http://www.xfce.org</A">http://www.xfce.org</A</A>>, on the download page.
