[SLE] wordperfect suse 6.4

30 May '00

Greetings, There has been talk on the list concerning the existence of a wordperfect rpm. For one reason or another, there are complications which prevent it from being distributed in the USA? I cannot locate this rpm on suse's servers for 6.1, 6.3, nor 6.4. It is not included on the cds that came with the box I bought. I have no problem with installing tarballs. I downloaded it from Corel twice to confirm it wasn't corrupted (very noisy lines out here, but shouldn't gzip/tar check for this?). Here is the actions I took to install this program, as output from 'script'. Note that my display is set properly. Sorry for the color, and all the other redundant control characters.

[SLE] Print server
by h.riesbeck＠home.net 30 May '00

30 May '00

Hi all: What would be required to set up a Linux host (in my case SUSE 6.1) as a print server?. Ideally such a set up would allow Windows PCs and also the Linux host itself to access, by way of a 'private' network, one or two printers connected to the Linux host. Thank you for taking the time to reply.

Hiya SuSE ppl, Since putting Kernel 2.4.0-test1 on my machine I haven't been able to connect to the internet. I use kppp and it fails on the pppd daemon with the message: Couldn't find the interface ppp0: No such device I've enabled PPP support and support for async serial ports in the kernel but still no joy.

[SLE] wvdial changes modem device permissions?
by dproc＠dol.net 30 May '00

30 May '00

Er .. its daft dproc here again with another 6.3 update problem ... I have wvdial from my 6.3 CD working beautifully in place of the old suseppp package. But each time I use it, it changes the permission of my modem device from 0660 (rw-rw----) to 0640 (rw-r-----) (Owner is root and group is uucp.) wvdial works once and is then unusable until I su and chmod 0660 /dev/ttyS2 again. This can't be right but I don't find a documented config to change. Any suggestions? dproc -- 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] control-s annoyance, starting appsH
by steveaux＠my-Deja.com 30 May '00

30 May '00

Hi! Three questions for the wiser 99% of you! A short answer or a pointer to an appropriate how-to or other documentation, as applicable, will be greatly appreciated. In case it matters, I am using FVWM2 as my window manager. (1) Because I use Star Office and various Microsoft applications, I now sometiimes catch myself trying to save with ^S in Linux applications. Sometimes I don't and a couple of times, I've simply hit S as the wrong key when trying ^A. When I do this, I suddenly can't use my keyboard at all in that X-window, although it is fine everywhere else. How can I get rid of this control key sequence of ill omen before I slip up in the middle of something important? Or is this actually something that could be very useful that I should know about? (2) How do I start an application within its own X window? For example, I can open an X window and start Matlab inside that X window. How can I just start Matlab (or pico or pine) from X window A and have it running in X window B? (2) How would I get an array of applications to start any time I use startx?
