Hello, Never mind, figured it out after I posted. Little too trigger happy this A.M. Apparently I had a space in my path that caused the problem. Thanks anyway, Tom -- 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] pppd idle question
by ethant＠earthlink.net 07 Mar '00

07 Mar '00

I just got started with PacBell's ADSL package and am using their Enternet client to connect since they use PPPOE. I was just wondering what option to use so that pppd doesn't disconnect after be idle. I looked at demand, persist, and idle but it appears that idle is the only one that would apply. I see that you can use demand and persist but I'd rather have the connection stay up continually. The only thing I see to do is to set idle to a really long period. Is there a better solution?

[SLE] SuSE 6.4, SCSI LUN probing, ...
by ed＠eem12.resnet.cornell.edu 07 Mar '00

07 Mar '00

I've stumbled across some issues wrt SuSE 6.3's install that I hope to see fixed in 6.4, but I'm not on the beta list, so I hope this is the appropriate forum. - The stock SuSE kernel appears to be compiled with the "Probe all SCSI LUNs" option enabled. The Yamaha CRW4416 CD-RW doesn't like this at all, and YaST2 hangs while scanning the SCSI bus. - YaST1 appears not to include a SCSI driver for the Initio 9100/UW (I'm pretty sure 6.2 had them.) - Since I also have IDE disks, I can skip SCSI detection and just install with YaST1. However, if I then 'modprobe initio' after install, the driver hangs (due to the LUN probing issue above.) Recompiling the kernel with LUN probing disabled solves the problem nicely. - RedHat 6.1's stock kernel has modular support for matroxfb, and their 6.2 beta has integrated support. Since 6.3's kernel supported vesafb, is there any chance that matroxfb will be in 6.4? It seems fairly harmless (besides extra kernel bloat, but that's a non-issue if it's compiled as a module.) Thanks, and keep up the good work ... -- Ed McKenzie <eem12(a)cornell.edu> -- 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] More ATI A-i-W 128 questions
by jmgrant＠primenet.com 07 Mar '00

07 Mar '00

Actually I've asked this is same question before but I've gotten both answers so I'm wondering if anyone can tell me which is the real one. :) I've got a rage 128-based 16MB ATI All-in-Wonder 128 board in a SuSE 6.1 system. With 3.3.6 (and 3.3.3 before it) I seem to have to include a the "no_accel" option in XF86Config to avoid scrambled text. However, I've seen people say that they can get away with not using it. What's the real story? Is there some other setting that causes/prevents this to work? Perhaps it's just a problem with All-in-Wonder 128 boards. Some links to deja to see what I mean.. maybe: http://www.deja.com/=dnc/[ST_rn=ps]/getdoc.xp?AN=572420316 no: http://www.deja.com/=dnc/[ST_rn=ps]/getdoc.xp?AN=572990039 Is anyone using this board without the "no_accel" option?

Hello, I've done this a dozen times, now I'm having a problem. Right click on desktop (KDE) --> NEW-->Application -->put in name for link--> choose icon --> type in path ( or browse for path) --> OK. Icon appears,etc. everything looks and has gone as normal, but will not execute. Get error message instead of the program being started. This is to be a link on my desktop to a VMware linux configuration. It's always worked before, and I have a link to my Win98 Vmware .cfg that works fine. I'm stumped Thanks for any help or ideas.

Folks, I have a home grown XWindows application whose color mapping via the old rgb.txt file has gone south. I need the new set of color names (the new rgb.txt file?) Can anyone give me a hand?

Re: [SLE] Cable Modems and Mail servers

What cable ISP are you using? I use @home, and although they provide a static IP, they encourage their users to use DHCP. If you are using @home, you can just use the static they assign.
