It is often the case that I get an error saying some shared object fild can't be found. I have never found an effective way to identify the package such a library comes from. rpmfind no longer lists SuSE packages at all, so that is not helpful. Any Suggestions? Steve

Bug found in Z52 driver.

'Found the problem with the Lexmark Z52 printer driver. Maybe someone here knows how or "why" this happens. The driver sends output to ghostscript. All was working perfectly, UNTIL I attempted to change res. IN StarOffice. The driver that you MUST use in S.O. is the "generic" printer. I attempted to change setting in S.O., instead of using the Lexmark util. It worked the first time, but the next time I went to use the Lexmark util., "nada!" I was stuck at the last setting I used IN S.O. The "cure" was to reinstall ALL of my ghostscript files using Yast1. As long as you ONLY use the Lexmark util. to change any settings, all is well. I'll also pass this info. on to Lexmark. Fred -- If you listen on a quiet night, you can hear the sound of an NT Server reboot.

The browser misery

Some pages have gotten so complex security features, tuned to work with Microsoft Internet Explorer, that only this browser can show them correctly. I don't blame Microsoft for this; it's the people who designed the pages who are to blame, I guess. Therefore, it is impossible nowadays to surf on the Internet without Windows and the Internet Explorer. I suppose that this is what americans call liberty...

Ami MegaRAID Enterprise 1300 + SuSE 7 PROBLEM

Message-ID: <000b01c05ae2$8af71050$6a00a8c0@workstation6> From: "mathias rockel" <mr-mail(a)europefn.net> Date: Thu, 30 Nov 2000 16:30:58 +0100 Subject: Ami MegaRAID Enterprise 1300 + SuSE 7 PROBLEM Hi! I would like to know if anyone has made any experience with the mentioned configuration. I have to set up a web server and I created an install-script with a SuSE 7 system which automatically partitions and formats a RAID5 system into three partitions /boot 16MB swap 128 MB / the rest and then copies a tested SuSE system to the drives and runs LILO at the end. If I now reboot the system all I get is 'LI', which quite frankly even after searching the SDB and the web for help doesn't mean much to me and I have no clue what might did go wrong. I compiled the newest AMI MegaRAID 1.08 driver as a module, and it seemed to work as it could mount the Array while booting from the diskettes which ran the script, and also I think it isn't even loaded at this point while booting. So any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated (and pls don't paste the LILO error code descriptions, I know them by now). I cannot get that much more information (sadly), as the web server is on a remote location and is not installed directly by me. Thanks in advance! mathias rockel
