[SLE] ghostscript 6 - rpms?
by kuhlmav＠elec.canterbury.ac.nz 08 Mar '00

08 Mar '00

The ghostscript rpm says this: Currently there is the newer version 5.50 of ghostscript available. Due to a change in the licence of this version we are not allowed to put this version onto this cdrom. Nevertheless this version you will find this version on our FTP server. Where is it? It's not in the updates for 6.3. And is there a 6 somewhere?

[SLE] kernel 2.2.10 module problem

Hi everybody, I have been using a kernel module to use a frame grabber card since SuSE 5.0 (through all versions) successfully. But after upgrading to SuSE 6.3 from SuSE 5.2 on my notebook (Tecra 750), when I try to insert my recompiled module I get a "segmentation fault" message and in /var/log/warn: kernel: invalid operand: 0000 kernel: CPU: 0 kernel: EIP: 0010:[<c882311f>] kernel: EFLAGS: 00010297 kernel: eax: 00000004 ebx: 00000780 ecx: 00000781 edx: 00000781 kernel: esi: 00000000 edi: 00000000 ebp: c5663ec8 esp: c5663e9c kernel: ds: 0018 es: 0018 ss: 0018 kernel: Process insmod (pid: 232, process nr: 35, stackpage=c5663000) kernel: Stack: 00000380 00000400 00000380 00000000 c8823054 00000380 00000004 00000002 kernel: c01103c7 00000000 00000000 c5663f00 c8823d8b 00000380 00000000 00000000 kernel: 00000380 00000000 00000001 c8823000 00000000 c8823054 00000000 00000000 kernel: Call Trace: [<c8823054>] [__wake_up+59/72] [<c8823d8b>] [<c8823000>] [<c8823054>] [<c882ba9b>] [<c8823000>] kernel: [<c8823054>] [<c8823000>] [<c8823000>] [<c882ca8c>] [sys_init_module+1107/1212] [<c8823000>] [<c88319c8>] [<c8835b40>] kernel: [serial:register_serial+-21176/284] [<c8823048>] [system_call+52/56] [<c8823000>] kernel: Code: 0f 4e f8 89 7d e8 b0 04 89 da ee 89 ca ec 88 c1 89 c8 83 e0 Is there anybody who can read these lines and see any trouble solving indications ?

[SLE] Archiving Netscape mail
by abrahams＠valinet.com 08 Mar '00

08 Mar '00

I'm using Netscape Communicator as my mailer. Communicator seems to have its own file structure for mail folders. I'd like to archive my mail onto CDROMs. Saving it there is the easy part. The hard part is how to look at it again once it's been archived, since there doesn't seem to be a way under Communicator to specify the location of the mail folder I want to look at. Any suggestions?

[SLE] Openwall Kernel Patch
by dsoper＠clipper.net 08 Mar '00

08 Mar '00

Hi all, I was fiddling around with the Openwall kernel patch today on 2.2.14 today and was wondering-- where exactly do you unpack the tarball and what is the syntax of the patch command? I can't figure out where to put the thing to get it to patch properly.
