[SLE] FTP, and wu
by jbauer＠seas.smu.edu 09 Mar '00

09 Mar '00

Hey guys, -----Aside-------- I feel sort of stupid for just now figuring this out, but I didn't know that SuSE's default install, installs a running ftp server. I didn't even know I could connect via ftp to my machine, which is sort of bad :(, if I wanted it running, I would have set it up. ------------------ I need help with wu-ftp. I've got the latest build, and installed it. I just don't know how to configure it. I looked at the docs, and at their website, but found everything to be very obscure. Does anyone know of a place where I can find some more understandable documentation? thanks, Justin -- 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] SMP, 2.2.14 and a BP6
by khadji＠pld.com 09 Mar '00

09 Mar '00

I have seen this topic both in the kernel archives and here but now that I need the information, I can not find it. Every time I boot w/ a SMP kernel (tried the stock SuSE one and rolled my own 2.2.14) it gets to the IDE setup (right after it identifies the IDE devices) and then reboots. How do I fix this? <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HEAD> <META content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" http-equiv=Content-Type> <META content="MSHTML 5.00.2614.3500" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have seen this topic both in the kernel archives and here but now that I need the information, I can not find it.

[SLE] Kernel parameters
by raghav＠easi.soft.net 09 Mar '00

09 Mar '00

Hi, I am using Suse 6.2 Linux on a Intel PIII m/c. Can I change the kernel parameters like process priority, max. no. of processes, memory that can be addressed thro' Yast or by editing any configuration files. I need this since my m/c is hanging intermittently.

[SLE] GNU enscript 1.5.5
by muskrat＠texas.net 09 Mar '00

I have GNU enscript 1.5.5-47 (SuSE 6.1). If I don't wait until one job finishes, subsequent jobs are garbled and/or slide off the page to the right (2-up printing in landscape mode) and onto the next page. This doesn't seem to happen with any other printing. Anyone have this experience or know of a fix?

[SLE] Desktop/kppp
by tb64710＠ltec.net 09 Mar '00

09 Mar '00

Hello All, In messing around, I now have the pieces-parts of about three themes on my desktop (KDE). How do I clean up this mess? Also after deleting some .rc files trying to rebuild my desktop, kppp says it can't create a lock file. Wait, that's only partly true, I also updated the system to so try to solve the desktop problem. Why do these themes do this? Why doesn't one theme replace the other completely? I don't want to commit to one theme forever. Shouldn't there be some sort of standard to follow so this nonsense doesn't happen? I won't even go into that whole ugly "is Linux ready for the desktop thing". Sorry, it's late and I didin't want to spend my little bit of time at the computer editing files. Sometimes I DON"T want to get my hands dirty. (Man, I'm really crabby tonight ;-) ) Thanks, Tom -- 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] Boot up freezes at second Ethernet card
by grbhat＠exocore.com 09 Mar '00

09 Mar '00

Greetings, I rebuilt my kernel to compile in ne2k-pci support. I have two ethernet cards, both ne2k (They are SMC3200 actually). While both NICs are correctly detected during the initial bootup sequence, my machine freezes when it comes to initialising the second ethernet interface (eth1). I am using SuSE 6.3. I went through the mail archives and the closest I could get was an incident where ne2k-pci cards failed on modprobe since 8329 modules were not included in the initrd dependency in 6.3. I would greatly appreciate any help.

[SLE] WTerm and Shading
by jpennington＠atipa.com 09 Mar '00

09 Mar '00

Hi, everybody! I was wondering if anyone else out there has played with wterm much. A coworker turned me on to it because wterm has the smallest memory footprint of any of the terms out there. After using it for a while, I found that it did *almost* everything that I need, as well as several things that I don't need ;). Currently, I use `wterm -tr -rv -geometry 80x40', which gives me an 80x40 terminal with _TR_ansperency and _R_eversed _V_isual. I'm having trouble figuring out if there is an option to set a shade on it as well, like Eterm does. I've noticed a value in some of the documentation that mentions `shade: boolean', but I don't know what it's referring to or how to implement it. Any ideas? BTW: I am *not* interested in `just use Eterm' posts. I'd rather run wterm half-way functional than be saddled with Eterm ;). -- -=|JP|=- Jon Pennington | Atipa Linux Solutions -o) jpennington(a)atipa.com | Kansas City, MO /\\ 816-241-2641 x121 | http://www.atipa.com _\_V -- 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] NFS mount problem

Doesn't work, this is the error I am getting root@cojones:/home/jkrough > rcnfsserver restart Shutting down NFS server done Starting NFS server requires portmapper \033[71G\033[31m\033[1mfailed\033[mroot@cojones:/home/jkrough > I was and I still am pretty sure that it is a problem with portmap but I do not know where or what to look at. I was able to mount my remote directory before but not any longer. Also this machine is the client machine so I should not need the nfs server installed or running.

It seems that the default settings in /etc/rc.config are to use the user space NFS server, but the package with these tools in is NOT installed. Try adding the package "nfsserv" from series "n" and then running rcnfsserver restart Peter. -- 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] tape drive and backup

hello there, I just installed on my system a SCSI-2 Dat and have got a question What do people generally use to make backups. Tar could be easier (ao at least I am not familiar with it) and I could not find any graphical front end to it. any other suggestions ? I also found the following: I could be wrong but I believe that there are a couple of typos in the Suse 6.3 manual (page 275, section 11.8) regarding the mt utility. 1. every example state a -d parameter for the device while the man page states -f instead. 2. the example given to space the tape to the end of the recorded data reads as follows mt -d /dev/nst0 eof according 6to the man page (& my own experience) this WRITES an EOF mark at the current location on the tape. the man page documents two other means (the difference between those two is not clear to me) use either mt -f /dev/nst0 eom (goto end of recorded media) or mt -f /dev/nst0 eod (goto end of data) didier -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Any views or opinions are solely those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of Visual Communications Group or its principal operating divisions (FPG, Telegraph Colour Library, Planet Earth Pictures, Colorific!, Pix, Giraudon, Bavaria Bildagentur, Definitive Stock, Space Frontiers). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed, and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
