[SLE] Adding a printer driver to WP
by yatsen.ng＠brunel.nl 09 Mar '00

Hi there, I'd like to pint a WP document but my printer driver is not in the list. I have an Epson Stylus Color 440. How do I add my printer? Thanks, -- Yatsen Ng yatsen.ng(a)brunel.nl Den Haag, The Netherlands It said "Needs Windows 95 or better".

[SLE] Modems question
by mmnelson＠hewitt.com 09 Mar '00

09 Mar '00

I'm not sure if I've asked this here before, but I'm going to ask again. Does Linux, and more specifically SuSE, support shotgunning modems? What I mean is, if I've got two or more modems installed on a machine, and an equal number of phone lines to connect them to, can I set up SuSE to use all of the modems bandwidth as one larger pipe? Can this be done, or am I crazy? -- 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] New TCL version
by fountai＠hursley.ibm.com 09 Mar '00

09 Mar '00

I want to upgrade to the new version of TCL, but v8.3 isn't on the SuSE updates site. What do I do? I'm happy to go and get the source and compile it, but when I type "make install" it's going to overwrite some rather important files (like tclsh) which the rpm mechanism thinks it has control of. Is the standard procedure to remove the tcl.rpm before starting, and if so, what do I do if something breaks and I need the old version as well as the new one? -- 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/

This is the procedure I used to fix a problem installation having the following symptoms: 1. YaST aborts with the message: "An error occurred during installation!" 2. LILO does not run (Non-booting) 3. Installation root password corrupted (Login incorrect) 4. Low memory (4-8M RAM) INSTALLING WITHOUT YaST ----------------------- 1. When YaST aborts with the error message, enter ALT-2 2. Install everything in a1 cd /var/adm/mount/suse/a1 rpm - Uvh --root=/mnt *.rpm --nodeps 3. Repeat installation of package devs.rpm (it fails the first time) rpm - Uvh --root=/mnt devs.rpm --nodeps 4. Install kernel cd /var/adm/mount/suse/images rpm - Uvh --root=/mnt k_i386.rpm --nodeps 5. Run lilo cd /var/adm/mount/suse/inst-sys/lib/YaST2/bin ./dolilo /mnt FIXING THE NON-BOOTING SYSTEM ----------------------------- 6. Reboot and log on using a boot floppy with these options: Boot: zimage root=/dev/hda3 init=/bin/sh (use zimage, linux or whatever you used) mount -o remount,rw /dev/hda3 mount /dev/hda1 /boot 7. Run yast cd /sbin yast 8. Run LILO under System Administration 9. Run kernel under System Administration 10.Update root password (User/under System Administration) 11.Update Select Choose/Install Packages Select minimal system package, and start (YaST should delete 13 packages, and add 11) 12.Exit YaST 13.Reboot from hard disk init S 14.Run yast and final update yast Select Update (replace everything) Finished.

[SLE] (OT) Apache / search engine question
by cjl＠j-sainsbury.co.uk 09 Mar '00

09 Mar '00

Hopefully somebody can help ... I've got a disorganised collection of ad-hoc documents, split between /www/public /www/ops /www/private I've managed to restrict access to ops and private using apaches .htaccess (and forcing users to sign on to go browsing). However - I don't want to maintain manual html index pages on the documents, since they are continuously changing. What I would like is a search engine which will present only the documents which users have rights to see, and preferrably be an indexed search engine (because there are a lot of documents!) Does anybody know of a linux search engine which can do this on 6.3?

[SLE] backups with cd-rw
by richard＠activitysuperstore.com 09 Mar '00

09 Mar '00

Hi Is it possible to backup partitions on to cd-rw? I have some partitions greater than 650mb and wondered if there is software that backups over 2 or more cd-rw? I believe backups to zip disks can span over 2 or more disks, does the same apply to cd-rw?

[SLE] Chat script error message
by moebius＠direct.ca 09 Mar '00

09 Mar '00

I'm receiving the following error message when I try to run my own chatscript (I can establish a connection without any problems on the same machine using wvdial). Receive serial link is not 8-bit clean: Problem: all had bit 7 set to 0 Since PPP requires the serial port to be set to 8N1, this would seem to suggest that the data bits need to be reset from 7 to 8 bits (which doesn't make much sense since wvdial has no problem, unless it forces its own internal serial port settings). After checking the stty man page I tried resetting the character size with cs8 but it didn't change the results. Am I resetting the wrong option, or is the error message misleading? It seems the problem with the connection is that ppp never launches after the connection is established, but is this caused by serial port settings or should I be checking the pppd options instead? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

[SLE] Question about PCMCIA and Kernel 2.2.14
by lfent＠esker.com 09 Mar '00

09 Mar '00

I just want to verify that PCMCIA Card support is not a feature of the Kernel, is this correct? I can't find anywhere to configure it, and I think it's handled by external features, but I can find PCMCIA under modules on my current Kernel, so I'm a little jumpy since this laptop is a proven pain to reinstall on, but I'd like to update the Kernel. Anyone know how pcmcia support interacts with the kernel?

RE: [SLE] Question about PCMCIA and Kernel 2.2.14

Correct. The pcmcia_cs package is available from www.sourceforge.com and is kernel-specific.

[SLE] diferrent runlevels at boot
by neonatus＠gimp.thz.net 09 Mar '00

09 Mar '00

Hi! I hoep someone can tell me how to configure lilo.conf file, for lilo to allow me to boot into different runlevels? What I mean is I have a single-key lilo prompt, which means that each image has it's own key and when the key is pressed the image is booted without the need to press enter. I would like to have lets say image 1 with booting to runlevel 3 image 2 with booting to runlevel 2 image 3 with booting to single user mode Can this be done - if it can how to doit automatically (via /etc/lilo.conf) not by entering linux single at the lilo prompt.
