[SLE] Getting an ACER NIC Working
by gdoris＠home.com 06 Mar '00

06 Mar '00

I've got an AOpen (ACER) 10/100 PCI NIC card that I would like to setup under Linux. However, I'm having trouble finding a driver that will work. I was hoping that the ne2k-pci driver would do the job but it couldn't find the card. Has anyone got experience with an AOpen ALN-325C card??? ---------------------------------- E-Mail: Gerry Doris <gdoris(a)home.com> Date: 05-Mar-00 Time: 18:05:10 "The lyf so short, the craft so long to learne" Chaucer ---------------------------------- -- 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] Network Printer
by tb64710＠ltec.net 06 Mar '00

Tired of messing w/this. Had it set up once, but noooo, I had to check out Mandrake 7.0. BTW, Mandrake 7.0 sucks and wasn't worth ditching SuSe over.......within an hour I was re-installing SuSe 6.3. (forgive me, for I have sinned.......) Anyway, can't seem to get to the printer on my wife's win98 machine. Looking for the magic combination of printer names and spool names to get this setup as a remote printer again. Must have been lucky the first time. The printer is a Canon BJC 4200. Jobs get to lp0 or lp1 or lpd and just sit there. I have set it up w/Yast and apsfilter SETUP, but just can't seem to get it right. Please help this prodigal son ;-) Thanks, Tom FOR SALE-CHEAP !

Alan, I found *my* problem: http://sdb.suse.de/sdb/en/html/cg_xdmcp.html For starters I just took out the '!'s. I then restored my /etc/pam.d/xdm to its original configuration and all is well. I even get helpful indication in the /var/log/messages file. HTH, Steve Alan Riggins wrote: > Steve, > > Yes, I did install PAM. That one hadn't occurred to me.

[SLE] Thanks :) further input for StarOffice?
by wm25＠hotmail.com 05 Mar '00

05 Mar '00

First of all, thanks for all your helpful information. It again proves this is one of the most friendly and helpful mailing list. I am glad I made the choice to choose SUSE. According to all the answers I got, the following seems like the case: 1) I have installed the full version of Star Office which is ~1xx MB by using root. My root can use it without any problems. 2) When I login to a regular user account, I should choose to install the "net" version so that my regular account can use it too. Does my thought make sense? I will try it out tonight and hope it works. If my thought is wrong, please let me know before I make any stupid mistake. Thanks a lot.

[SLE] Non-Booting Suse System
by tim＠sevigny.demon.co.uk 05 Mar '00

05 Mar '00

A friend of mine has a slight problem with his suse 6.2 system and has asked me to take a look next weekend. He has added a eide cdwriter to his system and in the process has changed the master/slave settings on one of his drives (i dont know yet in what way its changed but at worst i can look at the cableing) Now the disk that was changed has his suse 6.2 system on it ... and now of course it wont boot. Now i assume that if i boot off floppy (or cd) i should be able to mount the partition(s) manually so i can edit the configuration files. i can see that /etc/lilo.conf (and lilo rerun) and /etc/fstab will need to be altered to reflect the new drive designation (hda, hdb etc) but what other changes will be need to be made to get this system up and running again ... (i dont particularly want to reinstall the whole thing for him!) thanks in advance tim ============================================================= Tim Hempstead, tim(a)sevigny.demon.co.uk "Never trust a man who, when left alone in a room with a tea-cosy, dosn't try it on" - Billy Connelly http://www.sevigny.demon.co.uk/ -- 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] Getting xfstt.src.rpm going?
by kamm＠MailAndNews.com 05 Mar '00

05 Mar '00

I'm trying to get xfstt to work on SuSE 6.2. I found xfstt-1.1-2.src.rpm at rpmfind and put it in /usr/src/packages/SRPMS then ran #rpm --rebuild xfstt-1.1-2.src.rpm below is about where it stalls... I'd like to say I know what it all means, but I wouldn't have a clue... ;) Can anyone help me get this font server working... If someone knows of a "straight" rpm version I'd be quite happy with that, perhaps SuSE has one hidding somewhere... 2 -m486 -fno-strength-reduce -DMAGNIFY=0 -DNDEBUG -c RasterHints.cpp c++ -O2 -m486 -fno-strength-reduce -DMAGNIFY=0 -DNDEBUG -c RasterScale.cpp c++ -O2 -m486 -fno-strength-reduce -DMAGNIFY=0 -DNDEBUG -c RasterDraw.cpp c++ -O2 -m486 -fno-strength-reduce -DMAGNIFY=0 -DNDEBUG -c xfstt.cpp -I/usr/X11R6/include/X11/fonts \ -I/usr/X11R6/include/ xfstt.cpp:47: X11/fonts/FS.h: No such file or directory xfstt.cpp:48: X11/fonts/FSproto.h: No such file or directory make: *** [xfstt.o] Error 1 Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.96964 (%build) -- 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/

It would be most helpful if you would specify which CNN article. I am at a bit of a disadvantage in that I do not have a reference to the topic of this thread.
