[SLE] FTP
by mike＠universe.ne.mediaone.net 25 May '00

25 May '00

Afternoon All: I'm looking at setting up FTP access to my machine, at least for me for now. I used to use Red Hat 6.2, and found that when Red Hat was installed, the /home/ftp was set with all of the appropriate folders (pub, bin, etc.) Looking at this directory after SuSE 6.4 was installed, I notice that there is just the lost+found directory. Is there a document that shows what to set up in /home/ftp/ for folders, what the purpose of each folder is, and how to allow access for both anonymous users, and users who have an account on my machine? I understand that the install of SuSE 6.4 probably did not set this automatically, as I can see how someone might take advantage of an ftp site if the owner of the machine was unaware of what was going. Any pointers in the right direction? - Mike -- 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] Problems with OpenGl
by aneiros1＠teleline.es 25 May '00

25 May '00

Hi, I have just installed Suse 6.4 and find that I can't use any OpenGl games or applications (including some screen savers that come with KDE). I have an Asus v3400 TNT AGP card. Is there any way to add OpenGl support to Suse 6.4 with that card? What do I have to do? Kind regards.

Or am I missing something here? Are we talking about where anonymous users write to when they log in? If so, /usr/local/ftp would not be a good place for it.

Howdy all I thought you guys might want to check out: http://www.rasterman.com/ It's Rasterman's of Enlightenment fame homepage. Warning, it's a bandwidth hogger but very pretty. View it in Netscape first, then _try_ to view it in M$ IE (if you have access to that browser). The tables have been turned =) Cheers Matt -- ---------------------------------------------------------- stick at spinner dot org dot nz Linux User #160471 http://www.spinner.org.nz ---------------------------------------------------------- -- 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] driver for BJC 1000
by didierj＠club-internet.fr 25 May '00

25 May '00

Just bought a Canon BJC 1000 printer. Could not find a driver for it on Suse CD (v 6.2), nor on the Canon site. Does that existe somewhere ? Or is it compatible with a previous Canon printer. I don't care much if it's B&W only.

This is very common knowledge for those who followed the evolution of things. As to quote precise references, I do not have any handy. HTML was much inspired from SGML. I tried to carefully explain that particular goal (in French) within the chapter on SGML, somewhere within: http://www.ceveil.qc.ca/Normes/index.html (Our original report is also available as a PostScript file somewhere, but I forgot the URL, and am not Internet-connected as I write. It is a not a small document to print, anyway. But I'll look for it if someone asks.) How WYSIWYG HTML generators use HTML, nowadays, has little to do with the initial intent of HTML. The worse is that people look into the crap these editors generate, and try to learn from there. HTML 4.0 much tried to correct the whole phenomenon, but it will take a long time before the correction globally succeeds, _if_ it ever succeeds. -- 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/

[SLE] Network printing with parallel printer
by davidlist＠get2net.dk 25 May '00

25 May '00

I'm trying to print out through my desktop system's parallel printer from my laptop system. The laptop and the desktop communicate perfectly together. I can rcp, ftp and all that. I have gone through the 6.4 manual on this subject, and have tried setting up the remote printer via YaST on the laptop, but nothing happens when I try printing something from the laptop. Can anyone here tell me what to look for?
