[SLE] Infamous pppd died unexpectedlly

I'm trying to set up my Linux box to dial out - but I keep getting the ol' message of pppd daemon died unexpectedly. I've had this working!! In fact, sometimes I get a message in the log saying my username/password has been rejected. But this is inconsistent. I've taken off "Use Lock File" and I've increased the time out values. What am I doing wrong? And I apologise for asking the same old question - I will pay attention in future! :o) Kevin Jackson -- 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] 10 Mbit ISA NIC and 100Mbit network ?
by alex＠daniloff.com 27 Mar '00

Hello Linux folks! I need to connect my junky 486-DX2 PC to my 100Mbit network. Unfortunatelly I couldn't find ISA 10/100 NIC. Looks like they don't exist. I can't use 10/100 PCI NIC since 486-DX2 motherboard doesn't have PCI slots. On my network I use 10/100 Hub and all other computers have 10/100 Mbit PCI NICs as well. If I install ISA 10 Mbit network card in this old junk PC will it slow down my whole network?

[SLE] OK, Let me re-phrase it

I need help. I need an email setup that will read the mail files that Netscape created on my local system. I don't really care which emailer, I just want to get away from bloatware. The email files are in a tree format with mail subdirectories in physical subdirectories. I would like to preserve the tree structure. Can anyone help? -- Jim Sabatke SuSE 6.3 Linux Kernel - 2.2.13 "Ignorant people think it's the noise which fighting cats make that is so aggravating, but it ain't so; it's the sickening grammar they use."

[SLE] kfm deleted too much.../var/var
by richard＠activitysuperstore.com 27 Mar '00

27 Mar '00

Hi I re-arranged my paritions at the w/e, /tmp, /var, swap and /home and I copied the backup-ed paritions in to the new paritions using cp -a, and I ended up with /var/var, /tmp/tmp and /home/home. To put the contents of var in to the correct place I did cp -a /var/var /. However when I used kfm to delete the /var/var folder, kfm deleted not only the var folder within the var parition but it deleted all the contents of the var parition. No major problem becuase I just used my backup, but is this a bug with kfm?

RE: [SLE] Where to find resources in NT?

Do you have Office 9x/2000 of some sort on your PC? Go to Help... About in any office app and run the System Information app. You can of course run this from the run command/cmd line. Kev -----Original Message----- From: Jorn Verwey [mailto:jorn.verwey@psi.ch] Sent: 27 March 2000 10:30 To: SuSE Linux List; Jonathan Oakley Subject: [SLE] Where to find resources in NT? Working with Unix for some years I recently switched jobs and was confronted with a pre-installed Windows NT on my computer. A friend installed SuSE 6.3 for me and I am a happy user. However, the helpdesk does not support SuSE, only Redhat (and this is a 1200-people scientific institute!). My problem is that my soundcard does not work under Linux (it works under NT). As I was given this machine I looked into NT to tell me what I have. It says: Audio for ESS AudioDrive ES1938/1941/1946 Version 4.05.21. I therefore assume I should use the esssolo1.o module. I would also like to know the resources NT uses, but (having no Windows/NT experience) I have not been able to find these (often I get 'default' when I ask for certain settings). Any help is appreciated.

[SLE] Beyond The Call Of Duty: sendmail
by kevin.jackson＠jhallpr.demon.co.uk 27 Mar '00

I know this is a SuSE mailing list and this question should be aimed at a more specific list - but I know you lot are more than capable of answering this. I am amongst the multitude who are employed in a company with NT Server and MS Exchange for email. I am doing my best to infiltrate the situation with Linux - believe me, this company never saw me coming with this one! Our emails are sent in the Form: Kevin Jackson To send them localy around the company. I.e., there is no "visible" domain. Exchange handles this as the first point of call. What I need is to be able to send email from my Linux box to this Exchange server. At the moment, sendmail (whatever you may think of it!) is handling email to users accounts on Linux - at the moment a relatively few of our Admins accounts. If I try to send email outside of Linux I get the infamous undeliverable messages. Is there a way of sending email to, say, "Kevin Jackson" from my Linux box to this Exhange server? This Exchange server also handles our external mail (as can be seen from the headers from this email). If I can get this working, then it can be a great asset to this company. Oh, and a last point - I wonder how many will mention qmail? :o) Kevin Jackson -- 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] Startx Error: Binary of X Server doesn't seem to be a binary file

I've fixed the problem. Strange - I re ran xf86config - the good ol' text based configurator and it is working now... and the weird thing was - /etc/XF86Config NEVER changed! Bizarre.

Hi, ** > I just love .asp's ... Netscape has a 50/50 chance of displaying the ** > whole damn things :/ No wonder I wear my asp2php shirt so proudly ;) ASP pages are shitty. Getting them to work reliably without dumping errors is a master art. Fortunately I normally test my pages on Netscape first so that they work ok. Did you know that the simple page:- <% do : loop %> will bring personal web server down :-) ** Netscape should *never* have *any* trouble displaying a properly ** written ASP page, because all Netscape should ever see is plain-jane ** HTML. It's still shitty. ** Now if the ASP page delivers a bunch of non-standard stuff, that's a ** problem. Unfortunately, one of those non-standard things - VBScript ** - is frequently used as a way for an ASP programmer to avoid the ** necessity of competence. VBscript is evil and should be burned. Not a single 'good' implementation of Regular Expressions.

[SLE] Startx Error: Binary of X Server doesn't seem to be a binary file

I've just recompiled 2.2.14 - done nothing out of the ordinary (i.e., this is the 3rd recompile I've done just to get things right!) and now I can't get X11 to work! On rebooting, I get the console login - even in runlevel 3. I ran startx from the command line and got an error saying my XF86_xxxx doesn't seem to be a binary file. Ok, I looked /usr/X11/at it, and it sure is in binary (ELF). Now I have compiled my kernel for ELF support - in fact, as soon as I vi'd the file and saw @^ELF@^ etc, etc I automatically checked for this... and I have it in my kernel! I can even run the sax utility - and it runs X lovely in 1024x768. I would be most appreciative if someone can shed some light!
