Strange habit some people have, to call "crap" anything they do not handle well, or they did not care to study. Let me suggest that we stay nice to other people, by keeping our unjustified judgemental remarks to ourselves. In my opinion, the capability of redirecting the display is one of the very nice features of the X Windows system, and the DISPLAY environment variable is flexible and convenient. You have to know about `xhost', too. -- François Pinard http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~pinard -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe(a)suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

RE: [SLE] FAT32 permissions

Hi, IIRC, on vfat volumes you can only set permissions for the entire volume not individual files. This is a limitation of the filesystem not linux, however you might be able to mount the partitions as umsdos, which provides permissions on a dos compatible volume.

[SLE] remote/multiple X
by mlmayo＠texas.net 04 Feb '00

04 Feb '00

Hello, I have several Linux boxes on a small network and would like to be able to run remote X-sessions on at least two boxes at once. I am familiar with running multiple sessions on the same machine but I have been unable to find the docs for the remote end. Each computer has X installed and configured and I would like to be able to switch between sessions using the same monitor, keyboard, and mouse w/o getting into the hardware switching thing. Any pointers to relavent documentation and/or experience would be greatly appreciated. Thank You, Mike -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe(a)suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

[SLE] Real PLayer 5.0 ? use G2 !
by joelerch＠earthlink.net 04 Feb '00

04 Feb '00

here is a good site to help you set up the Real G2 Player : http://www.linuxnewbie.org/nhf/intel/software/realg2.html works good with SuSE as well, just need to pay attention to the directory the rpm installs everything. --- begin -- Real G2 Player Written By: Avatar So you want to steam in some audio and video. Well, if I can do it, so can you. Here is how I did it. System: Mandrake 7.0 (Also RedHat 6 & 6.1, and Mandrake 6.0 & 6.1) 1. If you don't have the G2 player already, hit up this link and get it. (I picked up the RedHat 5/6 rpm) get it here 2. Go ahead and install it. 3. On my system, the executable installed to /usr/bin/realplay. Find out where it went on yours, and keep that info handy. Now comes the fun part. Getting it to work with Netscape. According to help file for the G2 player, it will only play real audio and real video. But, that is incorrect as you will soon find out. 4. Open up Netscape and click on "Edit" and then "Preferences." 5. On the new screen that appears, click the little arrow next to "Navigator" and then "Applications." On the right, you should see a list of all the mime types already in the system. This is where we will be adding in the info to configure the G2 player. Now, my system didn't have any of the stuff that follows set up, but your might have a start. So, before you add anything listed below, look to see if it is already there and add/modify as needed. 6. Click the "New" button to bring up a new mime tpye. 7. Enter the follwing settings, then click the "OK" button to save them. Description: RealMedia File MIMEType: application/vnd.rn-realmedia Suffixes: .rm Application: /usr/bin/realplay %s The description doesn't matter, but the rest does. Make sure to click the box next to "Application" to enable G2, and don't forget the "%s" part or it will just open G2 and not stream. If G2 installed somewhere other than /usr/bin/realplay, replace that part with your path. Another thing to watch is that you but the "." in front of the suffix. 8. Add all of the following using the steps 6 & 7. Description: RealVideo File MIMEType: video/vnd.rn-realvideo Sufffixes: .rv Application: /usr/bin/realplay %s Description: RealAudio File MIMEType: audio/vnd.rn-realaudio Suffixes: .ra, .ram Application: /usr/bin/realplay %s Description: RealAudio File 2 MIMEType: audio/x-pn-realaudio Suffixes: .ra, .ram Application: /usr/bin/realplay %s Now, your G2 player should work great with Navigator. But say you hop over to live365.com and want to listen to for awhile. Well, live365.com sends you am mp3 play list, not a standard stream. This is nice if you're sitting behind a firewall and your administrator has blocked streamed data. To get this up and running on you Linux box, add this last part into Netscape, again using steps 6 & 7. Desciption: Live365 MIMEType: audio/x-scpls Suffixes: .pls Application: /usr/bin/realplay %s So, now maybe you want to hop over to MP3.com and have a lsiten over there. No problem. look down the list for "MPEG Audio." Once you find it, click on it, then click on edit. Change the follwing: MIMEType: audio/mpeg Application: /usr/bin/realplay %s (Click OK) We have to add another one now. Follow step 6 & 7 to add this one in. Desciption: MPEG Audio 2 MIMEType: audio/x-mpegurl Suffixes: .m3u Application: /usr/bin/realplay %s (Click OK) That should do it. Now the G2 player will handle all that media from the web with little or no hickups. Enjoy! --- end -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe(a)suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

[SLE] Can't change default WM
by ivan＠protein.bio.msu.su 04 Feb '00

04 Feb '00

Just bumped into what looks like a bug... I tried to select another WM instead of the default KDE via YaST->Configuring susewm, but regardless of what WM I select in the menu, startx still boots KDE. I have icewm, wfwm and wfwm2 installed. Also, I recall KDE in SuSE 6.0 config had a menue entry for restarting WM/selecting other WM, or am I wrong? There is no such option now. What is the easiest way to restart into another WM without restarting X-server or is it no longer supported?

[SLE] Matlab Question
by steveaux＠my-Deja.com 04 Feb '00

04 Feb '00

Any Matlab for Linux Users here? I'm using SuSE 6.1 and Matlab release 11.1. Matlab runs fine unless I want to use a mex-file. I have used the mex-file (complied for both NT and Unix successfully numerous times. I can compile the mex file without errors on Linux, but I get a segmentation fault if I try to use the compiled version. I cannot even start Matlab within gdb to troubleshoot the mex-file. I am working with their support people, but they are very slow and seem to know nothing at all about Linux, so I post here in hopes of finding someone else who has had this problem before. Mathworks has a page about this, and I think if I could do the necessary steps, it might solve my problem. The page is http://www.mathworks.com/support/solutions/v5/11129.shtml I can install only the first package (and installing libraries makes me very nervous). Here is what I have so far. *** elfenix:~ # ls -l /usr/i486-linuxlibc5 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Feb 3 17:17 /usr/i486-linuxlibc5 -> /usr/i486-linux-libc5 elfenix:~ # cd /home/csmiller/compustuff/matlab elfenix:/home/csmiller/compustuff/matlab # rpm -i gcc-libc5-2.7.2.3-1.i386.rpm elfenix:/home/csmiller/compustuff/matlab # rpm -i libc5-devel-5.4.38-3.i386.rpm failed dependencies: kernel-headers is needed by libc5-devel-5.4.38-3 *** If you've done this before, I'd really appreciate your insight! Thanks! (This is the one program on my box that I've had to purchase. It is also the most troublesome program on my box. This is not the first problem I've had with Matlab!)
