Obviously I wrote them an email asking for them to put it back but I'm not holding my breath. Is there anyway I can listen to their audio stream from Linux? I somewhat resent running Windows inside Vmware just to use it as a radio.

Network problems: Frustrated !!!

Date: Mon, 20 Nov 2000 19:38:16 +0100 From: Jan Erik Moström <lists(a)mostrom.pp.se> Message-ID: <20001120193821-r01010600-a3dae7e0(a)195.100.75.130> Subject: Network problems: Frustrated !!! On my previous questions on how to get my network card to work I got several answers ... Thanks to you all. My "only" problem now is ... it doesn't work. Some of the replies I got earlier suggested that I should change the slot of the card to see if there is anything wrong there and when I started Windows I saw that it couldn't find the card either ... so I decided to buy a new card (same brand ... the only type of card they had at "my" shop). Anyway, I plugged it into the computer, removing the old card, and booted the computer into Windows and it recognized the new card correctly. So I booted the computer into linux (using a floppy). I then tried to configure the card as eth0 using the Via-Rhine II module but it doesn't recognize the card, ifconfig only lists a loopback interface and ifconfig eth0 says "device not found" Changing the slot doesn't improve things. Running YAST2 and trying to install the network/base option gives me "network card not found" message. Right now I have no idea what to do (I'm not sure that I did before 8-) and I'm feeling slightly frustrated. The card is visible from Windows but Linux doesn't seem to be able to detect it. Since I'm inexperienced with Linux I'm assuming that I'm making some fundamental mistake ... but I have no idea which one. Does anyone know how I should proceed? jem -- Jan Erik Moström mailto:jem@mostrom.pp.se Free Elektron http://www.mostrom.pp.se/folk/jem/

Re: [SLE] ftp upgrade to 7.0 ?

Message-Id: <200011201410.JAA01017(a)smtp4.fas.harvard.edu> From: "Kevin Croxen" <klcroxen(a)fas.harvard.edu> Date: Mon, 20 Nov 2000 09:10:27 +0000 Subject: Re: [SLE] ftp upgrade to 7.0 ? You need to make a bootdisk with the current version of YAST and currentish kernel. You may also need to make supplemental disks with modules, in case your network card is not as mainstream as some. Laptop disk too, if your installation is on a laptop. You can make these current disks from those stored at: ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/7.0/disks Boot from the bootdisk, wend your way through the YAST menus to load the appropriate hardware modules, either from the bootdisk itself, or from modules1 or modules2 as necessary. Then start working your way through the installation menus on YAST. You will have to tell YAST what your current network settings are supposed to be; you will also have to provide YAST either with a nameserver address or the address of the ftp site itself (e.g. ftp.suse.com itself is 202.58.118.5) and you'll have to provide the directory to go to when YAST connects (i.e. /pub/suse/i386/7.0/suse/ or /pub/suse/i386/current/suse/ as you prefer). Then launch the monster and let the it chug away. Be warned that this is not exactly a zippy procedure --even with a cable connection it can take 5-6 hours or more; trying a 56k modem installation, you could probably order the CDs and have them arrive at your house before the ftp install has finished. But it works, and works well and reliably. Cheers, --Kevin On Sun, 19 Nov 2000 17:09:00 -0900, W.D.McKinney wrote: >Looks like lists.suse.com is down so no serching the mail list >for this answer.

checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (snapshot >= Qt 2.1)

"checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (snapshot >= Qt 2.1) (headers and libraries) not found. Please check your installation! For more details about this problem, look at the end of config.log." I thought it was a problem with the 'configure' script. But, I tried to compile another program tonight and got the same error. It has to be my setup. I have qt2 at /usr/lib/qt-2.2.1 I have a link /usr/lib/qt2 ---> /usr/lib/qt-2.2.1 I have set the QTDIR env variable to the following. /usr/lib/qt2 /usr/lib/qt-2.2.1 /usr/lib/qt-2.2.1/lib and I still get the same error message. I have hardcoded the path to the qt2 in the configure program itself to no avail. How do you make configure find qt2? JLK

Well one app I am contemplating needing is a graphical app that logs on to IP address/NFS/etc and grabs SuSE Linux, downloads the necessary base install via ftp/http and then fires up YaST2 to complete the install. This would be available free for install of course. Is this a pipe dream ? /Dee
