[SLE] Re: ytree and KGhostview
by hccr＠thecity.sfsu.edu 13 Mar '00

Thanks to Brad Shelton for the tip on substituting a different editor in ytree. I found ytree.conf and followed the instructions, allowing use of pico instead of vim by changing the "export EDITOR" line. And thanks to John Eighmy and Waldemar Brodhorb for help re: KGhostview. The program is working fine...from following your suggestions it is clear that the tutorials I downloaded got corrupted and that's why they don't open right. ---------------------------------------------- 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/

Re: [SLE] Yast, freeze while ftp update

Yes, that was one of the files I've installed. On another system I installed I never had it lock up like this. This system it's now done it 3 times in 2 days. One time I know I did loose contact with the server, but the other times I don't think so.

[SLE] Yast, freeze while ftp update
by jdenning＠pobox.com 13 Mar '00

13 Mar '00

Greetings -- I'm having a problem while using Yast with 6.3 and doing package updates via ftp. I'm not sure if maybe I loose connection to the net (using @home) or what, but yast will just stop responding. First anyone have any idea what might be the problem? But also, what can I do to get out of Yast when it's locked up? Esc doesn't do anything. My system isn't locked, just Yast. I can ctrl-z or ctrl-c to get out, but then that seams to cause problems with Yast, or at least leaves a task open I then have to kill. -JD- John W Denning A+ ( ( ( ) ) ) jdenning(a)pobox.com Salt Lake City, UT ) ) )( ( ( (801)322-2056 JD's UnderWater Photo Course - http://www.pobox.com/~jdenning/uwpc.html -- 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 help
by pevans＠bigfoot.de 13 Mar '00

13 Mar '00

Hi I have been trying to get the samba tool swat to run, but have run into a problem that I have no idea how to resolve. I have a linux and a windows machine connected via ethernet. As far as I understan the man pages I have edited /etc/services to contain the line swat 901/tcp and /etc/inetd.conf to swat stream tcp nowait.400 root /usr/local/bin/swat swat However when I start up the browser and enter the location http://localhost:901/ I get the error message that the requested URL/901/ was not found on this server. The command: grep swat /etc/services however gives me the answer swat 901/tcp If anyone can point me in the right direction I would be very grateful. The problem, or part of it, could be that I just do not understand what the man means by kill -1 PID where PID is the process ID of the inetd deamon. How do I find out what the process ID is? I realise that these are very basic questions, but I dont know where else to look. thanks Paul -- 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 delay
by fgs＠epulse.net 13 Mar '00

13 Mar '00

Hi and TIA Can anyone explain why after booting (which I do frequently as use a laptop) an immediate ifconfig ensures me that eth0 is up and running yet I have to wait several minutes before I can even ping the router downstairs. More to the point how do I prevent this delay? Am using 6.2, with a later version of pcmcia (in order to get card support) Francesco -- 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/
