[SLE] lp0 error
by JPRPT＠aol.com 25 Feb '00

25 Feb '00

I am happy to install SuSe 6.3 on a dual boot LILO (Linux & W95), got the sound configured using ALSA drivers and config, but I have yet to configure my deskjet 540 to work. When I type cat /var/log/boot.msg > /dev/lp0 to test my printer, it says "device is busy" I followed Chapter 12 in SuSe manual. The lp module is loaded and lpc status was okay. My parallel port in the BIOS is IRQ7, port 378 with SPP. Any comments and suggestions? Thanks.

[SLE] Fw: [SLE] Parallel Ports
by acesouth＠frii.com 25 Feb '00

25 Feb '00

Hi, I did what was suggested below so that my two parallel ports would be seen by SuSE 6.3 and after reboot I saw them both under a cat on /proc/interrupts and /proc/ioports But after rebooting a second time and making a bios change to assign irq 7 to port 0x378 the changes are gone although I changed it back in bios. The file /etc/modules.conf is the same and I even edited the /etc/conf.modules to be the same but to no avial. Does anyone have a suggestion that might help? I'm under contract and Loveland CO. is waiting for their computer.

[SLE] SuSE 6.1 and Matlab
by steveaux＠my-Deja.com 25 Feb '00

25 Feb '00

Hi! Does anyone here have experience using Matlab 5.3 with SuSE 6.1? Specifically, can you use your MEX-files? What, if anything, did you have to do to your libraries to get them (the MEX-files) to work? I am looking at the grim prospect of switching to Red Hat 5.2 (maybe 6.1 if I can determine that that can work) and adding some libc5 math libraries to _that_ to get Matlab to work properly on my Linux box (which does everything else perfectly). The "experts" at Matlab have told me twice that Matlab "officially" supports only Red Hat 4.2 (yes, 4.2) and punted on my original question. (Although they assure me that they have SuSE customers who have "successfully used" Matlab.) So I asked whether Matlab has plans to support a newer distribution. I get a second rep who first tells me that Matlab can run on "any Linux distribution." I now think I have someone who might be able to help, so I elaborate futher. He then says that he did not mean "MEX functionality" and also punted. Matlab technical support at least on this question has been a sad, unfunny joke. In both cases, I clearly stated that (1) I could run Matlab perfectly, except for some SIMPLE MEX files that (2) have been compiled and run perfectly, countless times on Unix and NT machines. In both cases, I was given a standard solution that the second tech rep admitted was really just to get Matlab running at all. Not my problem. :-/ I am obviously a bit fed up with them. I am also desperate for a solution, so I am trying this forum again. Thanks in advance for any help! Steve --== Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ ==-- Share what you know.

I have a friend of mine trying to get his MS Intellimouse to function under SuSE 6.2. If anyone has any pointers on how to get it to work, I would be eternaly grateful. It is a PS/2 not serial. Have tried Sax and XFREE86Setup to no avail.

[SLE] Where are HOWTO .info and .texinfo files?
by abrahams＠valinet.com 25 Feb '00

25 Feb '00

The SuSE distribution contains an (incomplete) set of HOWTO's in the form of compressed info files, e.g., Bootdisk-HOWTO.info.gz. However, I can't find any such files at the usual Linux sites such as metalab.unc.edu. What I'm really interested in is the .texi or .texinfo sources, since the manual browser tkman is capable of displaying them. Does anyone know where all these files are to be found?
