[SLE] pdfjadetex not on 6.1 or 6.3
by andrew＠NETdelivery.com 05 Jan '00

05 Jan '00

I've been trying to get a good converter between ps/dvi/etc to pdf and my local LUG suggested pdfjadetex, which I guess is part of the whole sgml tools bit. (Specifically jadetex or jade_dsl.) The problem is this file doesn't actually get installed. /usr/bin/pdfjadetex is a symlink to ../share/texmf/teTeX/bin/i386-glibc/pdfjadetex, which is a symlink to pdfvirtex, which doesn't exist. I installed everything in the sgml section from yast, and did a search on pdfvirtex from the 6.3 install CD, but got nothing. I have the same behavior in 6.1 and 6.3. Any ideas?

Re: [SLE] DHCPCD, DCHP and DSL Not Working -- Help Please!!!

Question 1: If you have a static IP why would you want to use dhcp? How I got dhclient to work (on BigPond Cable, Sydney) was to: - uninstall dhclient package from suse 6.2, it is dhclient version 2 and it is buggy - download dhclient version 3 from isc.org site - compile and install dhclient version 3 - go into YaST and set up your eth0 with an IP, gateway, and netmask and activate the eth0. I chose 192.168.1.0 environment (do NOT use setup 'dhcpclient' for the card) - reboot - your card comes up with LAN settings of course - run : 'dhclient eth0' (do NOT run /sbin/init.d/dhclient start) - you are contacting dhcp server and now you hopefully get a response and your card's settings get switched over to a new IP, gateway, netmask etc.... you should be surfable now *enjoying his holidays at Pearl Beach, Central Coast N.S.W., Australia* mk >From: Jeffery S.Norman <jeffery_norman(a)usa.net> >To: suse-linux-e(a)suse.com > >I am told by Telocity, which makes the modem and provides the DSL service, >that Red Hat works "out of the box" with their service.

I have not tried using the static IP addresses from Windows since the DHCP seems to work fine. If I try to use static IP addresses and it doesn't work, I am not sure I will have learned anything, however (except that I need DHCP notwithstanding the static IP numbers). I think the problem relates to how the DSL modem works. It acts as a relay to a DHCP server. Somehow, the relay is not working with Linux (my theory anyway) but there do not seem to be many configuration options available to try to fix this. Static IP is a no-go. One interesting fact that may help decipher the problem: My netmask is reported by windows as 255.255.255.252 (rather than the usual .0). As a result, my ip address which I enter into yast as x.x.x.217 gets changed in the route statement to x.x.x.216 (yast seems to do this automatically and I assume (since I am too lazy to look at the binary translation) that the logical product of 216 and 252 is 217 ...) I wonder if the strange netmask is causing problems when I try to use static ip addresses. In particular, do I need to change the IP addresses of the nameservers so that the product of the nameserver IP address and .252 is equal to the nameserver IP address reported by windows? Do I completely not understand the purpose of the netmask?

[SLE] Sound in Linux
by activex1＠one.net 05 Jan '00

Ok, I have SuSE 6.2 running on two boxes at home. One is my main box that has a sound card in it. I am running the fvwm2 window manager, not KDE. Is there sound support for fvwm2? Other then games, is there any real reason to install sound support?

[SLE] windows authentication in rsh
by l41484＠alfa.ist.utl.pt 05 Jan '00

05 Jan '00

Is it possible to use windows authentication for loging in? I've already done it using pam_smb but it requires a password. (the password as defined in the PDC) i was wondering if it was possible to authenticate WITHOUT asking the user password. (since the user has been already authenticated when the user logged on to the windows machine). BTW i've sucedeed in using pam_smb in login and rlogin, but couldn't make it work with rsh (it asks for the password and then it doesn't work anymore) (perhaps rsh are only intended to work with .rhots and hosts.equiv but not with passwords??)

I'm trying to get kdevolope setup. Thanks to Lenz, I got the needed Glimpse. When I run kdevelope setup I get I message I don't quite understand. (Perhaps because it isn't quite in English) "Now KDevelop will create a new KDE-library documentation. For that, you need the kdelibs package as the source package. If you don't have the kdelibs as sources, we advise to obtain then from www.kde.org. ..." I've poked around the SuSE CD and www.kde.org, but haven't seen kdelibs.
