[SLE] .pls files
by qapfecul＠lg.ehu.es 08 Mar '00

Hello, I'd like to know if SuSE 6.3 has any application allowing to listen to streamed mp3 files in the '.pls' format that I can use together with Netscape as a helper application. I know that for Windows both RealPlayer 7 and Winamp would do the trick. I've tried to set up the RealPlayer G2 beta for Linux without sucess. Thanks a lot. -- Dr. Luis A.

[SLE] Error messages we will never see
by rjohns＠otenet.gr 08 Mar '00

08 Mar '00

Hi Folks, A friend of mine sent me a list of user-friendly haiku error messages designed to calm users of Sony's Vaio. After reading them I came up with two bits of doggeral which I now submit for your enjoyment. Please send flames to rjohns(a)device.null Chaos reigns within I don't know where you've been. The point is moot, you must reboot before you start again. and Your system is unstable. Of course! The box isn't able. You see Bill is quite unwilling (since he makes a pretty shilling) to tarnish Windows legendary fable.

Hi, This appears to be done by mingetty by default and looking over 'man mingetty' reveals no way of turning it off. You might try using a different getty since it seems to be hard coded into mingetty.

[SLE] Non-Booting System & Root password problems
by test2654＠yahoo.com 08 Mar '00

08 Mar '00

This is the procedure I used to fix a problem installation having the following symptoms: 1. YaST Installation proceeds normaly until installing of the base package, then it ends 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 return 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 boot=/dev/hda1 (use zimage, linux or whatever you used) 7. Run yast 8. Run LILO under System Administration 9. Run kernel under System Administration 10.Update root password (User/under System Administration) 11.Update System Select minimal system package, and start (YaST should delete 13 packages, and add 11) 12.Exit YaST -- Finished (Should boot from hard disk).

Maybe your problem is solved by giving the section number (5) to man to get the correct proc-page. Otherwise you might need to install the package allman. But probably it's better to use only the documentation in the kernel sources directory -- I suppose it is more up to date.

Has anyone made it through an XFree86 upgrade successfully? Specifically, the package manager dependencies on windowmanager and x_server for xf86.rpm and dependency on c_preprocessor for xfsetup*.rpm.

[SLE] Quake or Quake 2 map creation in Linux?
by jbarnett＠axil.netmate.com 08 Mar '00

08 Mar '00

Is there any quake, or quake 2 map creation programs that will run under Linux? A long time ago I seen Worldcraft (for Windows 32-bit) that allowed a "CAD" like graphical interface to making up a quake/2 map, is there anything like this for Linux? btw I haven't checked out quake 3 yet, does that come with it's own map editor? I heard you needed a OpenGL compatiable video card to play it though.

[SLE] kdmrc and kdmrc.SuSEConfig...?
by richard＠activitysuperstore.com 08 Mar '00

08 Mar '00

Hi I have two kdmrc files under /opt/kde/share/config/, one is kdmrc and the other is kdmrc.SuSEConfig Why do I have two? I have noticed that yast/suseconfig gives an attention message after I update packages saying that I have modified kdmrc and that it is using its own version, kdmrc.SuSEConfig. However I have not modified this file, the only thing I have done recently is setup a graphical login (kdm) via yast, is this the reason for the two files?
