[SLE] SuSE 6.2 backup on Hard Drive method?
by frenche＠telalink.net 16 Mar '00

16 Mar '00

I have to 2 - 10 gig hd's with SuSE 6.2 like so: Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 19885 10022008+ 5 Extended /dev/hda5 1 171 86121 83 Linux /dev/hda6 172 428 129496+ 82 Linux swap /dev/hda7 429 6117 2867224+ 83 Linux /dev/hda8 6118 6288 86152+ 83 Linux /dev/hda9 6289 7406 563440+ 83 Linux /dev/hda10 7407 8524 563440+ 83 Linux /dev/hdb has similar partitions. I have unused disk space that I would like to devote to a compressed backup of at least one of these two SuSE 6.2 installations. My guess is that dd would be the utlity of choice. My question is are there any special qualifiers, switchers, options, nomenclature, notation, or advice about the best method(s) or making selection(s) on this topic? -- Jeff French frenche(a)telalink.net For the best Linux reading list on the WWW, checkout http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Reading-List-HOWTO.html -- 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] Help - no printing!
by nick.gaunt＠phnt.swest.nhs.uk 16 Mar '00

16 Mar '00

Hi all I have two problems with printing I cannot resolve: Firstly, when printing from Star Office 5.1 (with SuSE 6.3 and an Epson Stylus Color 900) several lines of text print with the top half of all characters missing. On a page of A4 four or five lines may show this behaviour whilst intervening lines are OK. I tried changing from times to other fonts, and changing font size, all to no avail. Secondly, while trying to sort that out I ran VMWare (to print the document from MS Word, which worked) and then, before closing VMWare, tried to print from Star Office again. Nothing appeared on the printer, no error messages were issued and even after closing VMWare I cannot print anything from Linux. I have restarted Linux, looked for lock files (but couldn't find any that cleared the problem) and still no output. Any ideas on what I should do next?

RE: [SLE] [OT] v. cheap PCs in the UK

I think Morgan Computers (www.morgancomputers.co.uk) sells cheap PCs. I don't know if they're _very_ cheap. The other place to look is Micro Mart which costs £1.10 and comes out every Thursday and is available from every good newsagent. Hope that helps.

[SLE] Where is Mozilla 14 fo SuSE 6.3 ?
by joelerch＠earthlink.net 16 Mar '00

Is there a Mozilla 14 compiled for SuSE 6.3, preferably a i386 version as opposed to one compiled for a pentium? If so where is it located? thanks in advance , joe -- 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] SiS 6326 and IBM 8515 monitor
by damianks＠netnet.net 16 Mar '00

16 Mar '00

I realize that this subject has been discussed extensively on this list. (I've been through the list archives) I have tried everything that has been posted and still to no avail. The display adapter that I am using is built in on a PCChips mother board, it is designated as "AGP" but the mother board has no AGP port. There is an entry in SaX for this card but I cannot get it to sync right. I used to be able to get this monitor to work at 1024x768 8bpp with a diamond stealth 3D 2000 but had to give it up when I built a computer for my mom. I have tried all the options i.e, no_bitblt, noaccel, and sw_cursor that were mentioned. I use the hsync and vsync values specified on the monitor specs I got from the IBM web site. I can't even get it to work in 640x480. SaX actually gives me a readable screen at that res but it is stretched vertically and narrowed horizontally. I would like to know if anyone could give me some help or at least point me in the right direction. I will be getting a new monitor and vid card, but not for awhile, and I don't want to wait to start using KDE again (I prefer the GUI to the console) B.T.W. I am running 6.2, I haven't upgraded or installed anything other than what comes on the cd's. If preferred, one can reply offlist to me at damianks(a)netnet.net Thanks in advance. -- 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/

I have the client for mircosoft networks installed, have also disabled the dummy eth0 device on my Linux box and have also specified "netbios name =" parameter in the /etc/smb.conf file. I think all of this has to do with an Internet explorer upgrade that I downloaded from MS. This was so that I could play active X games on the internet. Anyway, this is just a theory but I believe that's how I lost the "change password" tab. I have an "Internet" option in the control panel which looks a lot like Internet Explorer. Maybe I will have to uninstall Internet Explorer to get everything to work? I have followed the instructions in "Using Samba" by Oreilly & associates to configure it on the Windows side except for the "password" option for the reasons I previously described.
