[SLE] HOSTNAME problems with 6.4
by pdbeal＠louisville.edu 29 Apr '00

29 Apr '00

I am running SuSE 6.4 on my AMD K6-2 450Mhz.....and I have got a problem with my system. For some reason when X or xdm are running something changes my hostname to System.map. The only way I can fix this is to reboot because the export HOSTNAME doesn't work correctly...I have traced it to X or XDM since that was all that is running at the time when I log into my system and run xterm or rxvt it either doesn't come back or it comesback with pdbeal01@System:~> instead of the original pdbeal01@falcon:~>....I have updated the packages available for 6.4 on www.suse.com...but nothing has changed with those new packages....I have also noticeed I can speed up the time between the hostname changes if I use the virtual consoles and X simultaneous..... Can someone help?

[SLE] Sendmail question.

HELP..... Every time I install a new package that requires SuSEconfig to run, it replaces the sendmail.cf file. Which of course on the mail server is not a good thing. (unless you are trying to get killed by your user base). It took me a while to figure out what was going on... Now that I have... any Ideas..... statements.... Heckles....

My question; has anyone had success using this method with kernel 2.2.14? I have the OSS driver installed and cannot get dual channel to work. I'm limited to one set of speakers in linux, where I can get quadradic sound in Winblows.

[SLE] Fake Surfer for Xfree
by nbea＠ecn.ulaval.ca 29 Apr '00

29 Apr '00

Hi list Many months ago, there has been a thread on fake surfer issues on this list.. That is, apps that fake the movement of mouse. It is basically used for All-Advantage services on the internet... I've searched the archives and found nothing. A friend of mind recently challenged me on this one: find a fake surfer supported by X. Any idea? ________________ Nicolas Beaulieu Economics Department, Universite Laval Centre de Recherches en Economie et Finances Appliquees (CREFA) Quebec, Canada 418-626-5033 _________________ http://www.penguinpowered.com/~montesquieu mailto:montesquieu@penguinpowered.com ICQ 15933500 _________________ -- 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] info on different config files
by jasonunrein＠kscable.com 29 Apr '00

29 Apr '00

Does anybody know of any books or webpages (besides linuxdocs.org since its primarily RH) that have info about the contents of different config files in different distributions of linux. Over the summer (or longer) me and a few buds were going to try to write some libraries that could be used to do some sysadmin in different flavors of linux (Mandrake, RH,... ohh and of couse SuSE). If we can get the libraries working (done in c of course), we will also make a Java based gui and servlet to do the interface. Any ideas/suggestions/comments. -- 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] Leaving `/usr/local' alone [was: OSS sound after 6.4 upgrade]

I know that, at least for Apache, you are waiting for some mighty decision from the committee of all Linux packagers (decision which might be slooow to come). But in the meantime, please make every effort to not put anything new in `/usr/local', and rather use every opportunity to empty it. -- 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/

I have so many problems with that damned SuSE system that I decided to subscribe to its mailing list, in desperate need for help. I did not at all expect to see you here... Got you!! :-) P.S. - When I shutdown this SuSE thing, the bit-mapped display disappears, and a list of unreadable messages shows up on the screen, like for MS-DOS. Looks pretty old! After a while, the scrolling stops and nothing happens. I wait one or two minutes to make sure, then I turn the big switch off. But how can I be sure for real if "I can now safely turn off my computer"? I really lack the warm fuzzy feeling of security MS-Windows was giving me. P.P.S. - At boot up, SuSE does not even sound any nice arpegio ending with beach sounds. I lack this very much. Could it display clouds, too? -- 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/
