[SLE] Power Off on Shutdown
by gracchus＠inficad.com 01 May '00

01 May '00

BTW, it's good to be back....been away from SuSE for 'bout a year while testing out RH, Mandrake and Caldera....ran mostly Mandrake, which distro has come a long way since the "just an optimized RH" days. A killer installer that other distros should really look at, and it recognizes hardware like no other distro I've seen: picked up my HP CDRW on setup, automatically appended LILO with "hdc=ide-scsi", did the necessary dirty work in /etc/fstab and modules files, and it recognized the second CD drive in the system properly, as a straight IDE drive. Not bad. The problem I have with Mandrake is on my Athlon box, where I think certain underlying optimizations made with the pgcc/egcs compiler tend to make things a little unstable sometimes. Not the kernel, but X Windows and certain X apps (most certainly Netscape, which simply freezes completely every five minutes or so). I look forward to the Full Mozilla (better than the Full Monty!!! <lol>), 'cause Mozilla M14 runs amazingly well on this Athlon box. I understand there is some Athlon optimization code in the 2.3.x kernels, so I hope to see that option in the 2.4 kernel. One little thing I miss coming back to SuSE, though, is how RH/Mandrake automatically shut the power off when shutdown is complete. This can't be a difficult option to enable, just haven't been able to find out which config file and which command to add to it may enable this behavior. What command would be added to the shutdown scripts that orders the BIOS to shut off the system? If anyone out there has done this, I'd be interested in the details.

by peter＠hargroves.screaming.net 01 May '00

01 May '00

Dear List, Just purchased a new scsi scanner,it happend to be the only one in the shop and without checking to see if there was any support for the scsi card that came with it I find it does not work :) Any way checking the PCI -bus info I get this: Bus 0, device 10, function 0: SCSI storage controller: unknown vendor etc Vendor id=134a. device id=1. Medium devsel. IRQ9. I/O at 0xe000 [0xe001]. The card is a DMX3191 PCI Host adapter by Domex technology cop ver 000 and the scanner a Trust Scsi connect 19200 Has anyone come across this before and is there a work around for it or should I buy another card that is supported.

[SLE] SANE and UMAX help needed
by toganm＠yahoo.com 01 May '00

01 May '00

Hi everyone, After checking the sane homepage and realzing that I can not get UMAX Astra 1220 S by no means in Turkey I got myself UMAX Astra 2200 USB SCSI. I would like to writedown what I have done so far maybe someone could show me the way cause I am getting lost. I knew the scsi card coming out of the umax package was not supported under linux (except for the isa one but it did not work with me) I installed a Tekram DC390 pci scsi card to the system. Tried it under the Win98se got it working there. I am using a compiled kernel already with generic scsi support so I can use my ide-atapi cdwriter. ince the scsi card info was not included in my kernel I decied to included manualy. $ modprobe tmscsim $ sgcheck founds the scsi emulation at sg0 for the cdwriter scsi at sg1 for umax astra 2200 After reading the info at the sane home page and checking my suse 6.3 sane versions I decided to get the source from the homepage both for the sane 1.02 and the sane- umax 1.02 I upgraded the gimp from the suse site to 1.14 and also got the shared libraries. I compiled it under /usr/local/sane-1.02 directory after applying the umax patch as indicated by the readmes's. I downloaded xsane-0.57 also and compiled it. edited the /etc/ld.so.conf added the/usr/local/bin/sane ran SuSEconfig I did scanimage -T option and everything passed (at least these are the messages I saw). Being very happy log in to the Xenvironment run KDE open xterm type xsane No devices available What did I do wrong or what I am missing ? thx in advance -- Togan Muftuoglu toganm(a)yahoo.com __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

[SLE] Client - Server network
by icarus＠guldennet.nl 01 May '00

01 May '00

Hi there, I have to setup a network with about 150 clients (Win9x mostly), using mail/agenda, printing, Internet, filesharing and so on. I ABSOLUTELY refuse to use WinNT as a file/print/mail/proxy/whatever- server so that leaves me NetWare and Linux for as far as my knowledge goes. Does anybody know any good books about using Linux in an intranetworking environment? Or can anyone give me some hints? These are the things I must do: - Client must be able to 'login' and get a login-script to perform actions like starting programs local/updating the virusscanner et all - Broadcast-messages must show at the client (as NetWare uses 'send' or 'broadcast' and Windoze uses 'Winpopup') - Clients must be able to print on multiple printers ranging from Matrix- to laserprinters - Clients must be able to save data on the server and share it with other users - Clients must be able to surf the Net - Clients must be able to use a system-wide mail/agenda application (like Novell has GroupWise and M$ has Exch....Exch....Ex... (Well, y'all know what I mean)) This should be a nice project; I hope you all find the time to supply me with hints and other stuff.

Re: [SLE] Hylafax after 6.4 upgrade
by fsanta＠arrakis.es 30 Apr '00

30 Apr '00

Hi everyone, especially, Raphael, Gerry and George. There is a line missing from the /var/spool/fax/etc/modem.config for class 2 modems (Mine is a Supra 56e). George's HowTo refers to this line: ModemDialCmd: ATDP%s@ Setting up from root under 6.4 and running faxaddmodem does not add this line to the modem.config file. After hours of trying I can now fax at last! Oh, and for the record, you need the following updates from the SuSE ftp site: - hylafax4.1beta2 (series n1) - tiff (series gra1) - libtiff (series gra1) Thanks again for you help, Steve. -- 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] console display
by fgs＠epulse.net 30 Apr '00

Hi, I often need to telnet into my machine from an SVGA dumb terminal which is linked to a server running an app at about 600x400. Is there a way of increasing the resolution when I am logged in text/console mode?. I don't need X remote but a higher resolution would make everything much easier. Thanks anyone in advance.

Re: [SLE] Hylafax after 6.4 upgrade
by fsanta＠arrakis.es 30 Apr '00

30 Apr '00

Hi Gerry, Hi everyone. Yes, I tend to agree with you. I can see nothing different in my 6.4 upgrade but have had lots of little problems to sort out that, had I had when I had less experience when I upgraded to 6.3, would probably have given up on. I still can't fax and if I try it blocks the modem. I have deleted all references to fax in /var/spool and reinstalled hylafax from both 6.3 and 6.4 cd's, run faxsetup as root etc. etc. But after rebooting with START_HYLAFAX=yes and sending the first job, it just sits there refusing to dial, blocking the modem until I set START_HYLAFAX back to 'no' and reboot. I can now at least delete the fax and it doesn't appear on the queue in Susefax but it still blocks the modem. Any help anyone? Thanks, Steve.
