[SLE] Intel video phone help please
by jfondow1＠home.com 01 Jan '00

01 Jan '00

Happy holidays all, I received an intel pc camera pack (and cable internet connection) for Christmas and am having problems. I have the camera loaded on my wife's windoz box. I am using ipmasq on my linux box for cable internet connection for the house. I can send upstream audio and video but I can't receive any downstream traffic. I understand that there is some sort of problem due to the H.323 protcol for video conferencing. If anybody has any ideas or comments, please let me know. I am using Intels software (Windows) that came with it, the linux box is SuSE6.3, kernel 2.2.13. TIA PS - Is there any chance of moving the camera from the windoz box to linux? It is an USB connection. -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe(a)suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

Jonathan, I have tried this and found that H.323 does not like IP masq and requires that at least one true IP address be used, usually the one that is called. For example, I can initiate a call from behind a masq'ed linux box to a published IP address and it will work OK, but from behind a masq'd box to another masq'd network would not work for me. The sad part is, I can get all this *and* VPN to work fine when I use a W2K Server box to do NAT instead of a Linux box to do masq'ing. So that is what I am using at the moment... :( Ron Cordell > -----Original Message----- > From: Jonathan [mailto:jfondow1@home.com] > Sent: Friday, December 31, 1999 7:34 PM > To: suse > Subject: [SLE] Intel video phone help please > > > Happy holidays all, > > I received an intel pc camera pack (and cable internet connection) for > Christmas and am having problems.

[SLE] xhost wants a display
by abrahams＠mbs.valinet.com 01 Jan '00

01 Jan '00

Following a suggestion I saw here earlier, I included the command xhost + in my system-wide profile so that I could initiate X programs under any user name from any X terminal. It seems to work, but it also generates the gratuitous error message at login: xhost: unable to open display "" Is there a way to make that message go away? The man page is unhelpful on that point.

[SLE] Restoring /sbin/init.d/route
by abrahams＠mbs.valinet.com 01 Jan '00

01 Jan '00

I think my /sbin/init.d/route file has become corrupted and I'd like to restore it from the installation CD (version 6.2). I determined that it's in the aaa_base rpm package, but I don't see how to extract just that one file from the package. Any suggestions?

[SLE] Can't locate module char-major-108
by rdiazuri＠students.wisc.edu 01 Jan '00

01 Jan '00

Hi, >From time to time (I haven't yet figured out what triggers it) I get the following message on the xconsole: hostname modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-108 This, as far as I know, happens only when I am a regular user (not root). What is char-major-108? is the problem serious? how do I get rid of it?

OT-Blown my BIOS- Panic Over!
by Terence McCarthy 01 Jan '00

01 Jan '00

Hello All, Just to thank those who provided suggestions for the solution to my trashed Award BIOS, and to tell the list how I recovered, in the hope that it may be of use to others. First, the important thing about the Award BIOS chip is that there is a part of the chip which is "hard wired" with a mini-prog that looks first for a valid BIOS set on the chip. If that fails it looks for a bootable (dos/Win) disk in the floppy drive. If it finds one then it boots, and the BIOS chip can then be flashed using either an updated BIOS or, better, the original. The only problem is that because of the memory restraints (I believe) of the chip, the only video output is through a ISA video card. I was lucky- my friendly local computer shop found me a Trident card for £5 "if it still works" (I was unlucky in that I'd thrown away an S3 card only a couple of months ago believing that I'd never have a need for it......). So, here is one very relieved SuSE user, grateful yet again for the expertise and helpfulness of those on the list. My you never blow away your BIOS! If anyone would like more details please mail me. Terence
