I try not to spend too much time infront of the screen at the w/e. It sounds like you haven't successfully run the mysql_install_db script. You **have** to do this before you can start the mysql server. After you've done that if you want mysql to start automatically when you boot the computer you have to change the configuration file. If you have run the script but haven't rebooted then the myslq server hasn't been started. This can probably be done with the command: './bin/safe_mysqld &' Hope this helps.

ISDN help

But then when it tries to load in the modules it hangs the entire machine. Which isnt something I've seen under linux often before. I cannt get another shell, reboot, kill it. Anything. Plus seeing as it thinks it should be up it tries to start it every reboot afterwards so I've had to reinstall compeltely just to try a new tactic. It is an Asus-com P-IN100-ST-D, which was autodetected (and i'vetried configuring it manually from yast1). it is able to load slhc.o, isdn.o but when it tries to load HiSax.o thats when my pc dies. It tries with the arguments type=35 (asuscom I'm guessing) protocol=2 (euro isdn) id=HiSax. I've also tried it without arguments but that causes a fatal crash too. The card does work under windows, but I like to do everything cept play games in linux, but I miss my net connect. I might have to stick my old modem back in. Any helpful suggestions? Greg PS I've read the how-tos, faq, sdb, and I've even tried drivers fro asuscom themselves (just a version of hisax theycompiled)

sendmail aliases & virtusertable

Message-ID: <3A211004.4F914F65(a)profi-da.de> Date: Sun, 26 Nov 2000 14:28:37 +0100 From: Joachim Sternal <j.sternal(a)profi-da.de> Subject: sendmail aliases & virtusertable Hi there, we had some problems with virtusertable and sendmail, so we would like to change to simpe aliases. But we still want to direct all missadressed mail (e.g. typing errors) to a special user, e.g. our secretary. So if someone mails to mrpresident(a)whitehouse.com but we use only mr.president(a)whitehouse.com, this mail should go to monica(a)whitehouse.com. This was fine with virtusertable, but if we now add something like "@whitehouse.com monica(a)whitehouse.com" as only entry in virtusertable, all mail is going to Moni, if there's a user in aliases for it or not. And if we put in aliases, SuSEconfig is complaining. Any simple solution? Merci!!!! Jo Sternal

I ran this script and then found it locked my system down too tight. I then ran unharden_suse. This script did not undo everything that harden_suse did. I tried putting in a music cd and recieved the message "CDROM read or access error." I am now unable eject the cd. I have tried umount and am told it is not mounted. After loging in as root and trying eject -r the response is "Device or resource is busy" How do I eject the cd and then how do I get it accessable again. Thanks, Mike

KDE2 doesn't display jpg graphics!!!!

From: Jerry Kreps <jerrykreps(a)jlkreps.net> Date: Sat, 25 Nov 2000 12:35:19 -0600 Message-Id: <00112512351900.18107@JLKreps> Subject: KDE2 doesn't display jpg graphics!!!! Yesterday, I completely scrubbed KDE, KDE2 and Qt off my system, and removed any programs dependent on them. I deleted all related directories. Then, I installed KDE2 ***only***, using the SuSE fpt site source. Since the Qt-2.2.1 version installed didn't include source files I downloaded and installed Qt-2.2.1 sources and compiled it. KDE2 and Qt-2.2.1 appeared to be working fine. This morning I compiled a package that used a jpg as a startup logo. Even though it compiled fine the program crashes because it can't show that jpg logo. I thought it was the programs compliation, BUT, while browsing Slashdot a few minutes ago with Konqueror, I noticed that none of the jpg icons or other graphics were showing!! I used YaST to check my jpg libraries and programs installations and saw that everything was loaded. I confirmed the libraries existance on my system. Ok, SuSE. How to I get KDE2 to show jpeg graphics again???? Is it tied to having KDE1 installed. I hope not because I am not going to install KDE1 There has to be a KDE2 only solution.

Your welcome. I compiled apache alot, and what happens is it installs itself in /usr/local/apache/bin and you need to use the command "apachectl" to start it. It is hard to get suse's startup script to start it. I have run both versions at once. I use "rcapache start" to start the suse version; and then "apachectl start" to start the self compiled version. Good luck.
