[SLE] RPMs and SRPMS
by sean.rima＠ntlworld.com 13 Mar '00

13 Mar '00

I received several emails asking about the RPMs that I have made for 6.3. I have now changed the location of these (old location will work). The new site is http://homepage.ntlworld.com/sean.rima I am also uploading the Source RPMs for these. However, Some may not get there due to space limiations. I did try and upload the lot to SeSE's ftp server but it constantly timed out. Can someone at SuSE grab the lot and made them available. And new uploads: Tin-1.5.3 (Consider it alpha) this works daily for me and should be okay. It is compiled to work with GPG not PGP. Vacation-1.2.1.

[SLE] What is mysterious activity?
by hccr＠thecity.sfsu.edu 13 Mar '00

13 Mar '00

A novice question... Sometimes linux starts doing things on its own, without any command from me. The last time this happened I looked at top and for several minutes saw processes such as find, sort, sed and mandb at the top of the list. Generally, what is going on when this happens, and what is the trigger that starts it? ---------------------------------------------- Charles Rathbone San Francisco, California Voice & fax: 415-928-7347 Email: hccr(a)thecity.sfsu.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] SAMBA Reference

I have seen a lot of questions on this list about SAMBA so I thought I would post this URL. I found it to be an excellent tutorial/ reference when I set up a few systems earlier this year. This is the online edition of the OReilly book in both pdf and html. http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/samba/chapter/book/index.html As they say- "RTFM" -- Bob F EMail FBob(a)wt.net A Truly Wise Man Never Plays Leapfrog With A Unicorn... -- 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] Painfully slow printer
by fountai＠hursley.ibm.com 13 Mar '00

13 Mar '00

I currently have an HP870CXi deskjet printer, which works fine on Windows, and prints b/w and colour in Linux using the 850 ghostscript driver. The problem is, it's painfully slow under Linux. Under Windows it'll print a page of text in about 3-4 seconds; colour is somewhat slower but still several pages per minute. Under Linux, printing a page of text takes about 2 minutes. It seems that it prints line by line (moving the print head across the page for each scan line) while the Windows driver can print an inch or two of information in each head pass. Basically this makes it useless as a desktop printer. I'd like to move from Windows to Linux/Staroffice for my office work, but I can't tolerate waiting half an hour for a modest sized document to print. Anyone know what causes this? I'm assuming the ghostscript driver is poor quality for my printer; does anyone have Windows speed performance out of a deskjet? I'm considering replacing the printer to get round this bottleneck - perhaps with an Epson? -- 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/

Two new rpm's so far this morning. Suck-4.2.3 and ZGV-5.0 Both available at http://www.tcob1.uklinux.net/files.html I am considering the lastest beta versions of Tin and Mutt.

RE: [SLE] Samba
by psims＠lombard.co.uk 13 Mar '00

it's the netbios export that makes it visible - MS networking relies on NetBios (aka netBEUI) regardless of the TCP/IP transport. Without a valid netbios name export there's nothing for Network Neighborhood to see. Doing a "net use" to connect to a samba box keeps the machine alive in the browser.

[SLE] mod_php not interpreting <?php print ("hello, world\n"); ?>
by bcollins＠csd.net 13 Mar '00

13 Mar '00

I have SuSE 6.3. I have installed Apache and PHP using yast. The SuSE setup is slightly different from what I read in "MySQL" by Paul DeBois and in some of the README files, but conforms to README.SuSE for Apache. I did not setup the Apache SSL Server. I have entered the following in a file: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - <HTML> <BODY> <?php print ("hello, world\n"); ?> </BODY> </HTML> - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - I do not see "hello, world" when I view the file with Netscape or lynx. I have tried several different file names and extensions, .php, .php3, .html and .phtml. The attachment file is the result of ps ax > ps.txt. It looks to me like PHP is running. I don't have a clear understanding of how apache works with the file or how to verify if PHP is running, other than running ps. Any help would be appreciated, I feel like I am drowning in documentation, but must be missing something. -- Regards, Bob Collins Mailto:bcollins@csd.net PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND 1 ? S 0:11 init 2 ?
