IPX and Novell network

Message-ID: <3A193347.6D149EFD(a)gpm-law.com> Date: Mon, 20 Nov 2000 08:20:55 -0600 From: "John A. Thomas" <jathomas(a)gpm-law.com> Subject: IPX and Novell network Does anyone have experience with getting the ncpfs package to work for connecting to a Novell network. I had this going with Suse 6.0, but I'm running 7.0 now, and the ncpfs-2.0.11 package won't completely compile. I get lots of warning and error messages, and the slist function, for example doesn't get compiled. Any tips from anyone who has done this under 7.0 would be appreciated. John A.

If you use mysql client (invoked at the command line with mysql) then to create a new database you: CREATE DATABASE database_name; Note the semi-colon at the end of the statement. The use you log in as will have to have write priveliges on the database. The easiest way to do this is to login to linux as root then start mysql client and create a new user with write priveliges. This is a bit more involved but is included in the documentation. On SuSE 7.0 the documentation is in: file:/usr/share/doc/packages/mysql/html. Another way to work is with kmysql (if you use a GUI that is). This is a KDE1.x app and as I remember is included in the SuSE KDE packages. It works fine under KDE2.0 as well. Good luck -- Regards, Jethro

XF86 4.0.1f (from CVS) possible?
by Chris.Smith＠raytheon.co.uk 23 Nov '00

From: Chris.Smith(a)raytheon.co.uk Date: Mon, 20 Nov 2000 14:18:43 +0000 Message-Id: <OF1E7A995A.532ECDF5-ON8025699D.004DC2EA(a)raytheon.co.uk> Subject: XF86 4.0.1f (from CVS) possible? Hi, Does anyone know how easy (or hard) it would be to get the current 4.0.1f snapshot of XFree86 to work on SuSE 7? I've poked my new Radeon card back in but (as expected) it doesn't want to work with the provided build. I've had to *resort* to using Win98 on my home box which is doing my head in (again as expected :) Particularly, a question to people at SuSE: Is there a beta binary release of the X 4.0.1f stuff from CVS available from the ftp site or somewhere like that which will save me the trouble ??? Otherwise, will this be included in 7.1 ? Cheers, - Chris.

I sometimes get about a hundred of these processes running owner is usually ? they can be killed with no detriment to the system and if left to build up will eventually freeze the whole system. Anytime the system starts to slow down it is a fair indication that there are dozens of these running. I usually have the following programs running KFM as a web browers, Kmail, Kppp, Kicq, Real Player. It only seems to happen when I am on line. -- Regards Richard http://www.tollyboy.com

Compaq Deskpro EN

Message-Id: <200011230009.TAA11908(a)smtp-out2.bellatlantic.net> From: "Marcin Mankowski" <mmankows(a)bellatlantic.net> Date: Wed, 22 Nov 2000 19:04:10 -0500 Subject: Compaq Deskpro EN AT work I got a new PC - Compaq Deskpro EN. Unfortunately SuSE has problems with: Intel 815 (82815) Graphics Controller and Intel PROSet 100 VM Network Connection. I downloaded the supposed drivers for Linux for those two devices but the most I could get was to get an error when I tried to load a recompiled module: something about incompatibility of 2.2.16 with 2.2.16-SMP (for the graphic, network I could not get anything). Now the sound card is SoundMax Integrated Digital Audio (Analog Devices), I could not find anything. I read that SuSE has some cooperation with Compaq, has anyone been able to install SuSE Linux on Compaq Deskpro EN? (I tried Red Hat on this system and it was able to recognise all devices but I prefer SuSE.) I will appreciate yout input. Marcin Mankowski
