[SLE] /boot/boot.b missing
by fsanta＠arrakis.es 27 May '00

Hi everyone. After recompiling the kernel (6.4) I see a good bzImage in /arch/i386/boot but I can't run LILO as it tells me: /boot/boot.b missing The LILO prompt ends at LI How can I get back to normal? This is being written by booting from the CD-ROM. At least everything is accessible after installing a SuSE kernel, Just want to get back to my old configuration in /boot/old and try again!

Can someone tell me where Apache starts it's point in the directory Structure please. I've now a 9.1Gig disk just for it and I didn't install it on purpose when I built my system on purpose (space shortage as I wanted enough of KDE to try some programming). thanks in advance scsijon -- 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] wvdial and lack of permissions
by rdiazuri＠students.wisc.edu 27 May '00

27 May '00

Dear All, I use wvdial as my PPP dialer. I generally can use it as regular user without any trouble. However, from time to time, and without apparent reason, the system complains saying ramon@ligarto:~ > wvdial --> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.40 --> Cannot open /dev/ttyS1: Permission denied And I am getting tired of having to login as root, and do a chmod to restore the permissions to w for members of the group (yeah, sure, its just a one-liner, but it is annoying anyway). Why is this happening and how can I prevent it? [Note: I am using SuSE 6.3].

[SLE] fetchmail and speed
by fgs＠epulse.net 27 May '00

27 May '00

Hi, Can anyone explain why a vanilla fetchmail (ie no options specified other than server, ptoto, id, password and local user are specified) takes about ten times longer to download mail over dial up than kmail?. I would rather use fetchmail but it dawdles and traffic can be high.

[SLE] Fwd: Two mice on two screens in XF4.0
by famu0002＠stud.uni-sb.de 27 May '00

27 May '00

HI all, I have just installed XFree 4.0 and had to discover, that sax2 shows no affection for my Logitech wheelmouse(ps/2). Installing a serial mouse and removing the ps2 mouse removed any complaints by sax2. It installed my Voodoo3 2000 and an Ati mach64VT, which both work fine, and the serial mouse. After hand-inserting the ps2 mouse with the correct imps/2 protocoll, startx produced 2 screens, and *One* Pointer being controlled by 2 mice. The Problem now is ,that, whenever I start sax2 with the ps/2 plugged in, sax will refuse to use any one of my 2 mice, even when i tell it to import my (working) Config. This results in me not being able to access some option further down in the windows, that have a scrollbar, since the scrollbars cannot? be used with the keyboard. After exiting sax2, X and both mice work fine again. My Initial goal was to run 2 seperate mouse pointers on 2 screens, attaching the focus to 2 keyboards(one ps/2 and one still-to-be-bought Usb-keyb. <Is this wise?> ). This is for doing programming HW w/ 2 people on 1 PC. I tried running 2 instances of xfree, but that did not yield the desired result (console switching required etc. ). As far as I can tell there is no way of 'binding' an Input Device to a particular screen, or do I need another 'Core'-Keyboard, to use another 'Core'-(mouse)Pointer? Btw.: Is there some *extensive* documentation available *somwhere*? The docs i found were pretty scarce, and none? was available for sax2. Apart from that, sax2 is very cool :) greetings, Fabian Mueller Stragies, Robert Alex ------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- -- 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/
