[SLE] pygtk sources?
by pinard＠iro.umontreal.ca 14 Mar '00

14 Mar '00

Hi, people. I noticed that with SuSE 6.2, if there is a `pygtk-0.6.1-12' package on the CD-ROMs, there is no `pygtk' in the `zq' series. Should I find it under some other name? I thought the correspondence was straightforward. -- François Pinard http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~pinard -- 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/

Hello, Having a problem with my Win98 partition on my second HD. When i go to /root/mnt/Win98/Windows->Desktop, nothing comes up and Kfm freezes. I can look at any other part of the C:\ drive, ie: Program Files, etc. but not my windows desktop. I keep transfered files in a folder there so I can access them from linux or anywhere else. This has not happened before with prior installs of SuSE, and I did the same things this time when I re-installed SuSE after my Mandrake fiasco. I also loose my KDE desktop icons and end up rebooting. This happens as user or root and scares me when it happens as root as I do not want to mess up this install. SuSE is on hda and Win98 is on hdb. Any thoughts? Could samba somehow affect this?

We got the network card working with George's fix (and moving it to slot 0) - Thanks George. Now, it will not detect Slot 1 which is where the Adaptec SlimSCSI is. How do we get it to detect Slot 1? Thanks in advance and, as always, any advice is greatly appreciated. -- ____________________ Joseph A.

For KDE there are KRN, Kexpress, and Knode. KRN is the most advanced. If you try it, get at least version 0.6.11. Earlier versions that came with KDE sources didn't do thread sorting very well. 0.6.11 is much better. Kexpress has a very nice GUI and looks promising, but isn't very feature rich yet. Knode plays well with leafnode for offline reading. The GUI is pretty good but not all the features are there yet. All three are under active development I think. For GNOME there is a reader called PAN. I've heard good things about it, but have not tried it myself. I like Xemacs/gnus. I REALLY like gnus. It is by far the best news and mail reader I have ever used, and I've tried most of them. It makes use of the frames and drop down menus in xemacs, so it's sort-of a GUI. It is intimately integrated with the most powerful editor on the planet. If you're comfortable with [x]emacs, you might like gnus. If you hate [x]emacs, you probably won't care for gnus either... -- Bud Rogers <budr(a)sirinet.net> http://www.sirinet.net/~budr/zamm.html Though all my neighbors are barbarians, and you are a thousand miles away, there are always two cups on my table. -- 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] sax and xfreesetup

SuSE 6.3 Multimedia Install Permedia 2 video voodoo2 daughter card 196MB RAM SB16 PnP I did a fresh install of SuSE 6.3 today. And now I cannot configure x86. I tried using sax which resulted in a black screen, from which I had to ctrl-alt-del to reboot (ctrl-alt-backspace did not work). Then I tried x86freesetup (something like that, the last choice from within yast) and it let me go through all the settings, but when I clicked done, it said it was starting the graphical something or other and then kicked me back out to the yast menus. I have successfully set this machine up before using x86freesetup but not sax on 6.3. On 6.2, I was able to use whatever setup tool for the xserver I wanted. Has anyone ever seen this before? Any help would be appreciated!

Well, it seems this si all just a lilo problem. Using /sbin/chos is somewhat more terse but /Works/! If anyone know why Lilo is croaking, I'd love to know.

The thing is that my Linux box won't let any other computer access the shared unless they are logged in. I can find my Linux box in the "find computers" dialog, but it won't let me do any system browsing unless I am logged into the network. Anybody know how to make Windows '95 log into the network?
