I am afraid you did not give us anough information to deal with your problem. I do not remember your previous post so it might be there. My question for you is why are you using ppp for a ethernet connection? Or are you doing a ip masquarading exercize?

[SLE] modprobe ne2k-pci fails on HP Brio
by music＠pjb.com.au 08 Jan '00

08 Jan '00

Greetings. I've been trying to install 6.3 on a new HP Brio (Intel Celeron 500, 128 K cache, 64 Mb RAM, Intel 3D Direct AGP, PCI Sound Fusion, CD, HP 10/100BT PCI Ethernet) and it can't see the Ethercard. The HP 10/100BT is a re-badged Accton NE2000-compatible PCI card. LEDs flash on the Ethercard indicating suggesting it is alive. I've tried a couple of different kernels. But ... # grep eth0 /etc/modules.conf alias eth0 ne2k-pci # modprobe eth0 /lib/modules/2.2.13/net/ne2k-pci.o: init_module: Device or resource busy The HP salesman, who seems reasonably Linux-friendly, thinks I need a later kernel; he thinks it isn't talking correctly to the PCI bus at boot time after the bus negociates the various device addresses. Is this plausible ? If it's a new kernel I need, where should I get it ?

[SLE] CDROM error
by michael.norman1＠which.net 08 Jan '00

08 Jan '00

When I'm writing a cd with XCDROAST i get the following error each time a new track is started : "CDROM read error. Please make sure you have access permissions to /dev/SCD0". /dev/SCD0 is my cd writer and it's line in fstab is as follows : /dev/scd0 /cdrom iso9660 ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0. The cd write is not affected, but I could do without the message, what do I have to alter to put it right ?

Re: [SLE] KDE, GNOME

Though I may know my way around the DOS world, I am rather ignorant when it comes to Linux. I do however have a strong desire to stop lining Bill Gates' pockets by supporting his Junkware. The SuSE LINUX 6.3 Manual (page 4) says, "But that is not all: with KDE and GNOME, there are not one, but two, free and comfortable graphical desktops available which themselves make the call for 'Linux on the desktop' ever louder." This leads me to believe that I should choose one or the other. Then I read the message board posts that seem to indicate that they could be used together, but it may not be a good idea. I haven't even gotten the distribution installed due to this confusion. I need the information to decide which one, if any, I should install. Do I need either of them to run a GUI with the X system? How do I decide which one to use? Linux Wannabe, Harland Grimes ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET!

You might not want to compile the other set as it is, but if you want to upgrade to the latest kernel using patches, you should install the other set and start from there. This would require a much smaller download than a complete set of new sources.

If you install the lx_suse package through yast, the link from the /usr/src/linux-2.2.13-SuSE --> /usr/src/linux will be automatically created. Of course, you can add as many source packages as your hard drive can handle, you just have to relink from /usr/src/linux-x.x.x --> linux before compiling and installing libs.

[SLE] Compiling a kernel
by rcordell＠ThoughtMill.com 08 Jan '00

OK, this is a raw newbie question that the SuSE 6.3 manual does not really clear up for me. On the 6.3 installation CDs, there are 2 Linux sources: package linux and package linclude, which seem to make up one version, and package lx_suse, which makes up the other. As a guess, I think that I should install the lx_suse package, create a symbolic link to that directory and call the link 'linux', and then I can create kernel images according to the instructions, right? Assuming that this is correct, under what circumstances would I want to compile the other set of code, which I am guessing is "standard" linux code?

i've actually tried the same thing - run the enlightenment/gnome option that comes with the SuSE 6.2 CD. i'm able to use different apps from kde (with some minor errors). what i can't figure out though, after perusing the docs, is how to install gnome as the GUI for an X-login similar to xdm or kdm. there's the gnomegreeter, gnome_chooser and the gdm but i can't find any instructions on how to use these . . . any thoughts? -----Original Message----- From: David Bellows <bfootdav(a)bellsouth.net> To: suse-linux-e(a)suse.com <suse-linux-e(a)suse.com> Date: Saturday, January 08, 2000 7:38 AM Subject: Re: [SLE] KDE, GNOME ><snip> > >> I haven't even gotten the distribution installed due to this confusion. >> I need the information to decide which one, if any, I should install.

[SLE] Networking laptop in different locations
by bernieg1＠mediaone.net 08 Jan '00

08 Jan '00

I have a laptop which is working great with SuSe 6.3. At home I have a cable modem connected to a desktop computer and have successfully setup masquerading so the laptop has internet access and at work i can connect to the university network. I have been looking for a way to automate the network setup at the two locations, which doing manually seems to be more difficult than desirable twice a day. I found the "PCMCIA" Notebook in miscellaneous networks" entry in the SuSE support database, and it looked likd an ideal solution except that when I tried it, I could get no ethernet connection at all. Ifconfig showed only the lo local loopback entry. I tried rcnetwork restart and /sbin/init.d/route stop/start with no change. I'ld appreciate advice on getting the pcmcia scheme system to work, or any other easy way of changing network settings.
