[SLE] Logitech Trackball+ mouse
by abrahams＠valinet.com 12 Mar '00

12 Mar '00

I just got myself a Logitech Trackball+ mouse. In addition to the three buttons and the trackball, it has a little wheel on the middle button that does various tricks under Win95. Does anyone know of a way to put that wheel to use under Linux? (It seems to work perfectly well without using the wheel.)

[SLE] Can't Print
by dvalyou＠yahoo.com 12 Mar '00

12 Mar '00

Gentlemen I need your help. I'm a home user and most of your discussions are over my head but I'm trying to learn. Will anyone condescent to help me figure out why I can't print anything from anywhere with my SuSe 6.1 installation? I have installed and adjusted and deleted the whole thing about a million times now and I can't think of anything else to adjust or configure. It's just me, no network, nothing fancy and my box runs it beautifully and I love it, but I can't print anything, ever. Well, one install once printed a test page with Kedit but after adding a few packages it was gone again. The current incarnation shows a module for lp.0. insmod lp Using /lib/modules/2.2.5/misc/lp.0 insmod: a module named lp already exists is this what it's supposed to say? Apsfilter is set up through Yast. I've tried it with the /etc/ppp/apsfilter as well as using many different configs with two different printers. Can't figure out what I could do with printcap so I've always left that alone. I even tried texconfig though it doesn't seem to have any effect. Does it matter, how does it matter, how network configs are set? I've tried lots of scenerios there too. Anyone care to help a tech-challenged, frustrated home user?

[SLE] Kernel Compile Script (repost)
by dmarkh＠cfl.rr.com 12 Mar '00

12 Mar '00

After a fresh install of 6.3 the script "susewmif kernel en" that I used in 6.2 no longer works. This script enabled me to compile a kernel while logged in as a user. (root password required). It also gave me the luxury of not having to manually enter the "make dep clean bzImage..." command after doing a make xconfig. Using the script as a normal user would put me into what I got as root doing "make xconfig". Then after changing the configuration file and saving it, it would then put me into another GUI to let me do what ever make I required. Then after the compiles were all finished it would put me in a mode where I could search the output of all the compiles for errors or whatever. Very nice script. On 6.2 it was even provided in KDE. SuSE/System tools/Compile kernel. Well needless to say neither myself nor anyone else I know that has gone to 6.3 can get this to work. What follows is the output from the command "susewmif kernel en". First from my 6.2 box at work then my 6.3 box at home. Any help from anyone would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance and sorry it's so long. This is SuSE 6.2 output of the command "susewmif kernel en" &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Please enter now the password for root.

[SLE] DSL, ppoe(d), DHCP, & Bell Atlantic?
by hattons＠CPKWEBSER5.ncr.disa.mil 12 Mar '00

12 Mar '00

Hi, I finally got my DSL hooked up. It screams! Kül! I know some of you have this working with Linux. I haven't done that yet. Figured I would learn to do this by the book the first time through. It looks like it could be a real PITA to get NT 4 to serve as a router when it is getting its DSL IP Address from DHCP. My guess is Linux will do this rather nicely. If anybody is using Linux as a DSL gateway to their LAN I could sure use some pointers. Are you using IP masquerading? Is it easy to configure? Are there any good howtos on this.

[SLE] Internet Keyboard Pro
by toganm＠yahoo.com 12 Mar '00

12 Mar '00

Hi everyone, My little brother bought me a present which is the M$ Internet Keyboard Pro (Intelli Type Pro), well as you may imagine for a M$ user that is probably a qood present now the question is does any one know how I can make this keyboard working in the X properly. Now since I am a newbie it is difficult to come with the answer by myself. I thought of using the Xkeycaps (leaving some dead keys ofcourse) however I couldn't quite figure out how to get the produced xmodmap activated either the man pages are speaking chinese to me or am I becoming weird. One more thing the keyboard layout is also turkish q Hope somebody knows a way to sort this thx -- Togan Muftuoglu toganm(a)yahoo.com __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

[SLE] Firewall 2.0 restart in ip-up?
by stephennyny＠yahoo.com 12 Mar '00

12 Mar '00

Folks - I'm running Suse Firewall 2.0 and the roaring-penguin PPPOE client with great success so far. The only difficulty I have is if my dsl connection is lost, pppd restarts it, but I need to restart the firewall after the new ip address is in place. Where should I put the firewall restart call? ip-up? where (I'm a true script novice)? Somewhere else? (It's nice to know that if the dsl drops and is reestablished the firewall shutsdown everything) TIA - Steve __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

[SLE] After upgrading to 6.2 from 6.2 sound doesn't work
by cparman＠airmail.net 12 Mar '00

12 Mar '00

Hello Everyone, I just got through upgrading to 6.3 from 6.2 and now my SoundBlaster AWE-64 doesn't work. The SoundBlaster AWE-64 worked fine before the upgrade. When I run 'isapnp isapnp.conf' command I receive this: TheWave1:/etc # isapnp isapnp.conf IRQ 0 in use IRQ 1 in use IRQ 2 in use IRQ 3 in use IRQ 4 in use IRQ 8 in use IRQ 9 in use IRQ 10 in use IRQ 12 in use IRQ 13 in use IRQ 14 in use Board 1 has Identity 73 1a 82 18 ec c1 00 8c 0e: CTL00c1 Serial No 444733676 [checksum 73] Board 2 has Identity 9e 4b 00 e5 58 94 50 6d 50: TCM5094 Serial No 1258349912 [checksum 9e] isapnp.conf:61 -- Fatal - Error occurred executing request 'DMA 5' --- further action aborted I never received this error during bootup, so DMA 5 isn't the problem. And I tried to run 'pnpdump -c /etc/isapnp.conf' and received this error: TheWave1:/etc # pnpdump -c /etc/isapnp.conf Port address /etc/isapnp.conf (0x0000) out of range 0x203..0x3ff If anyone knows what the problem is please reply back.
