[SLE] Flash 4.0
by kar＠webline.dk 24 May '00

24 May '00

Just installed flash as a Netscape plugin. The reason was that I wanted to listen to some Internet sound. Problem is that the sound seems to run too fast. The speaker sounds real funny, like when you tried to play a 33 with 45 speed (in the very very old days :-)). Does a solution exist? Sound from the CD is OK, and also Midi files play fine. -- Kaare Rasmussen --Linux, spil,-- Tlf: 3816 2582 Kaki Data tshirts, merchandize Fax: 3816 2582 Howitzvej 75 Åben 14.00-18.00 Email: kar(a)webline.dk 2000 Frederiksberg Lørdag 11.00-17.00 Web: www.suse.dk -- 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] Voodoo2 and X 3.3.6
by mariuso＠sec.sibnet.ro 24 May '00

24 May '00

Hello, I have a Voodoo2 installed on my 6.4 system. Can I use my voodoo2 for speed up my KDE ... and normal windows (maybe to speed up enlightenment wm)? I think is possible for some cards G200, G400, GeForce256, Riva ... as you can see at http://sdb.suse.de/sdb/en/html/glx_64.html I have installed glide_v2. I tried to use sax, 16 colors, and i tried to follow the recommendation in the article ( In addition to the 'normal' configuration, the module glx has to be loaded. Please proceed as follows: In SaX, open the dialog 'Settings' -> 'Edit current configuration'. Select the section 'Modules' there. Enter Load "glx.so" as additional parameter Save the configuration. ) If I play a game, all is working OK, but for normal windows (like netscape) I don't feel any speed improvements.

[SLE] Athlon Motherboards
by jpennington＠atipa.com 24 May '00

24 May '00

Hi, everybody! :) My venerable EPoX MVP3G-M motherboard is finally showing signs of wear (dying IDE0), and I'm hopefully going to replace it soon. THere's no doubt in my mind that it'll be an Athlon Slot-A motherboard, but I'm a little unclear as to which one. I have brand favorites, but brands that offer the AMD (IronGate) chipset often don't offer VIA (KX133) chipsets, so I have to decide which one to use. AGP 4x is not an issue, so the KX133 holds no advantage at this point. What *does* make a difference to me is disk performance, so a KX133 is what I'm leaning towards (unless the KZ133 shows up soon!). To the folks at SuSE (esp. Andre Hedrick): Does the current implementation of UDMA66 on KX133 chipsets work *at* UDMA66, or is that chipset restricted to UDMA33 or (God forbid) worse? -- -=|JP|=- "Why, oh, why didn't I take the blue pill?"

No problem with that, it's just getting normal at my age! :-) Yet, maybe not this time :-). Let's see...

Your translation is surely better, but this is not what YaST showed to me, while you suggest it does. As for 3), it is a bit meaningless. But your translation now suggests to me that the line was truncated in the YaST display, so also truncating its meaning, and producing the ambiguity I reported. YaST should never truncate lines, or at least, not without giving some hint that the truncation occured, and some mean to see their full contents. > Yep, the help text doesn't match with the menu - neither in the > English nor French version, not even in the German version :-] I think that there are a few glitches in this area, which need to be corrected in YaST. -------------------- [1] My friend is not comfortable with English, so he asks me to select French when working on his machine. I still see a few questionable choices here and there, but overall, the French from SuSE is a lot better now that what I initially saw, releases ago. The first time I tried French, it was really bad, and sometimes plain misleading, to the point I thought for some time it has been all produced through Babelfish or such automated systems. That is, the wrong way. I surely avoided selecting French for many releases. -- 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/

You are asking for a flaming aren't you, especially if i forwarded this email to some of the top web designers in the UK - and that the ones I know use DreamWeaver. Can I use vi? YES Do I want to maintain a multipage web site using vi? NO Do I know html? YES Did I write html by "hand" way back when? YES Do I want to make life easy for myself? YES Its not a Windows/Linux issue. A pointless argument, needless to say. But you have NO RIGHTS WHATSOEVER to say that REAL WEBMASTERS write html in vi. This implies I have imaginary webmaster friends - because they use Windows. Its a matter of preference - but I bet I can layout a table in DreamWeaver faster than you can type <table width="300px">. And, yes, I forgot - Linux doesn't have a gui. And I suppose proper Linux users don't use a window manager to make things easy for themselves? Its emails like this - where people can't admit to shortcomings of Linux - that makes Linux users look bad. I love Linux - I would get rid of Windows if I could do everything I wanted to do with my computer but can't because some excellent programs are written for that other OS. But there are some things which I can't do in Linux that I can do VERY easily in Windows. If you were an American biker, I bet you would have a Harley Davidson because its American - despite everyone knowing they aren't as good as a Japanese equivalent. Not just my opinion... I remember an American friend telling me that.

The only thing I can see is... If you are using XDM - and both users try and get display :0 then the program must be reporting the last user of that display - if no terminals are open (XTerm, etc). And/Or, Try opening up a terminal as both users and then do a who command. I hope this gives you some clues as to what is going on!

[SLE] SuSE 6.4 & RAID1
by linuxsys＠pinefields.com 24 May '00

24 May '00

[I'm not sure if my initial message made it out so I'll try again] Basically, has anyone gotten RAID1 to work under 6.4? I can get RAID0 to run but RAID1 collapses with a "bad superblock magic" error message when I run mkraid. I've tried a couple of different devices, more schemes from more HOWTO's and FAQ's than I can keep straight, and the results are invariably the same. Worse, the raidtab I built for this effort will run RAID1 under RedHat 6.2. I asked on linux-raid about this problem and the general consensus is that the 6.4 implementation of the 2.2.14 kernel won't work with raidtools 0.90, the current rev for raidtools (or is there a better one???).
