I looked in SuSE 7.0's webpage and searched and get a "nothing found". My new Dell Inspiron 8000 will be ok if so, as I can get drivers for everything but Video and video will work if framebuffer support is in the kernal. I also note that Xfree will have 4.0.2 at full release by christmas, I suppose it's too late for 7.1 but 7.2???. thanks in advance. csijon

If you ** install VMware are you restricted to running X3.3 and not 4.0, or ** is this a special version of VMware? VMware will crash on 4.0, but as there is probably no use in using 4.0 unless you need DRI and/or Xinerama or something, then stick with 3.3.6. It's more reliable anyhow (I use V3-3000 AGP so it's probably my fault). - Chris.

Hi everybody, my brother in law got a cd-rw drive for my nice. Since I refuse to support Win, she run linux. I do not want to give her the root pw (she's 11), but rather permissions on the right progs. And now, I do not know the right progs. ;-(. I know cdrecord is one of them, now 4755 in perms, but doesn't work from the shell. Xcdroast refuses to read audio CD's. ;-( Any tips on the subject are welcome! ;-) Juergen -- =========================================== __ _ Juergen Braukmann juergen.braukmann(a)gmx.de| -o)/ / (_)__ __ ____ __ Tel: 0201-743648 dk4jb(a)db0qs.#nrw.deu.eu | /\\ /__/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / ===========================================_\_v __/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\

The printer is a HP Laserjet 1100 conected to a computer that acts as a printer server (SuSE 7.0). The system send me a mail that says that apsfilter generated an error. That is loged as: + test -n '' + print_stdin + eval /usr/bin/gs -sDEVICE=ljet4 -r600 -sPAPERSIZE=a4 '-sOutputFile=>(cat' - '1>&3)' - -c quit '1>&2' ++ /usr/bin/gs -sDEVICE=ljet4 -r600 -sPAPERSIZE=a4 -sOutputFile=/dev/fd/63 - -c quit +++ cat - %%[ Error: invalidaccess; OffendingCommand: --nostringval-- ]%% GNU Ghostscript: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1 + pipe_status + test 1 -eq 0 What's wrong??? Is acrobat reader generating a bad postscript that apsfilter doesn't understand? Thanx in advance, Carlos

I have a Linux box (SuSE 7.0) connected to a Windoze NT box through an SMC EZ Switch and 4 port hub. Linux NT |_____________Switch_________Hub__________| I can ping each machine individually so I believe the network cards are configured correctly. When I ping the NT machine from Linux I see the lights on the switch blink in unison but get no response. Do I need a crossover cable between the switch and the Linux box or is there something else that I am missing? Thanks, Mike

upgrading ppp package and glibc

So I have upgrading several packages and the kernel. I installed the new kernel (2.2.17) from source. (no rpm) I am now trying to upgrade the ppp package (needed for the avm capi stuff). pider:/home/hferinga # rpm -i ppp-2.3.11-58.i386.rpm failed dependencies: libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.0) is needed by ppp-2.3.11-58 libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.1) is needed by ppp-2.3.11-58 libcrypt.so.1(GLIBC_2.0) is needed by ppp-2.3.11-58 libdl.so.2(GLIBC_2.0) is needed by ppp-2.3.11-58 libdl.so.2(GLIBC_2.1) is needed by ppp-2.3.11-58 libpam.so.0 is needed by ppp-2.3.11-58 libutil.so.1(GLIBC_2.0) is needed by ppp-2.3.11-58 So I tried: pider:/home/hferinga # rpm -i --force libc-2.1.3-91.i386.rpm failed dependencies: kernel_headers is needed by libc-2.1.3-91 So I am basically stuck here. If I install the kernel headers, does that interfere with my linux source tree I have installed under /usr/src/linux (actually a symbolic link)? I have the kernel headers already in place (this is part of the kernel source isn't it?) And in what package can I find the appropriate kernel headers? All tips are welcome. TIA, Hans Feringa
