Hi, ** I built a new box - named Bill on my home network - and put Win2K on it so ** that I could do Access/VB N-tier stuff on it (that's what I do for a living...) Same here (unfortunately). ** But Office 2000 install locked up early in the process, having done essentially ** nothing. Mine went in OK surprisingly... ** Visual Studio installed, everything except SQL Server. Kind of hard to do much ** N-tier without a database server. I couldn't get Win2k to boot up properly. I was running under my own username and it decided that the Visual Studio setup would run as the administrator. Problem is like normal, that when it rebooted it lost what the hell it was doing and nuked my session. Oh well. Back to gcc+emacs. Much nicer... ** So, what do I have this box for? Kicking. That's what mine is used for (and playing Homeworld) ----------------------------------------------------------- Chris Smith IS Dept - Raytheon Systems Limited [chris.smith(a)raytheon.co.uk] +44 1279 407 103 ----------------------------------------------------------- Programmers are busy writing the next best idiot proof software.

[SLE] Mail problem
by doddg＠falk-ross.com 31 May '00

31 May '00

Hi all, a strange problem has just started with my email server, and only with my mail account!! I use fetchmail to retrieve, piped through procmail, and sendmail for sending. Outlook97 tries to pop in for the email and fails with: A message could not be delivered. Make sure there is sufficient memory and disk space and that the message store is accessible, then try again. I look in /var/spool/mail/doddg and I have mail, there are no errors in /var/log/messages and /var/log/maillog, but I cannot retrieve the mail. If I mv my mail file somewhere else then cat it through formail and skip the 1st message (internal message) it still fails, but if I mv the mail file and wait for incoming mail to be delivered then I can receive mail normally - and it will work for the rest of the day...... I suspect the internal message is somehow getting corrupted, but I don't know how or why. All other users have no problems, but there mail volume is low. This problem has only appeared in the last few days and I haven't made any changes to the mail server in months. Anyone come across this problem before ? Graham ---------------------- Graham K.

Re: [SLE] Yanq (Yet another newbie question): remote X access.

Koos, Adding xdm to the level 2 initscripts is equivalent to setting level 3... (Unless I did something wrong of course; I simply copied the link to xdm from the level 3 script without changing the name.) I can live with initlevel 3 after all though: I can still login at a different virtual console if I stay disciplined ;-) (the resources used by the graphical login alone are probably extremely small).

Yours is probably defaulted to 2. Doublecheck you have a fully functional X env! BTW, this automatically gives you X on the console. If you don't want this, have xdm fired up from the runlevel 2 init scripts (/sbin/init.d/rc2.d) Cheers, Koos Pol ---------------------------------------------------------------------- S.C.

[SLE] Faking XServer/Loading Xlibs without X
by Admin＠brevsville.com.au 31 May '00

31 May '00

This may not be the most appropriate place to ask this question, but it is the place to start. I have a problem with Java on SuSE 6.3/Sun JDK1.2.2/JSDK 2.0/ JServ 1.1/Apache 1.3.12. There is a bug when trying to use any awt classes without X loaded, apparently it requires xlibs to be loaded first if X is not running, before using any of these classes. I'm told that I can work around this problem by simply loading xlibs.. but how does one do this. How to load xlibs without loading X? So my specific question is.. is there way to load xlibs on SuSE without loading X? Before somene scolds me for wanting to use awt with X, I am not using it for any image rendering/display function, just for measuring graphic file dimensions... very trival but sheesh load up all of X just for this! Thanx for any guidence.

Hi, people. I'm almost sure I saw this explained on this list already, but seeking in my archives, am just unable to find it.

[SLE] Windowmaker under GNOME?
by kline＠tao.thought.org 31 May '00

31 May '00

Yesterday I was experimenting (aka playing-around) with GNOME in a test login and tried to bring up the WindowMaker manager. Zero luck.... I use ctwm here and am looking for another wm that may have better devel tools or some kind of integrated development environment. I've poked around with wmaker here (FBSD), and it looks good. So why would it be missing from my SuSE distribution? I installed virtually everything. Do I need to run ``wmakerconf'' by hand first? Has anyone else bumped into this? thanks, gary -- Gary D.

[SLE] Help with ipchains
by moseley＠hank.org 31 May '00

31 May '00

Hi, I'm using ipchains and I'm masquerading my internal LAN. All working fine, so far. I want to allow access to a server running on a given port on an internal machine. So it would seem that I need to allow that port into the firewall, and also forward that port to the internal machine on the port where the server is running. I'm a bit confused about how to do this, can anyone help? This is what seems to be needed to allow access in and out of the firewall machine: # Allow access to that port on the firewall ipchains -A input -i $EXTERNAL_INTERFACE -p tcp \ -d $MYIPADDR $SERVER_PORT -j ACCEPT -l ipchains -A output -i $EXTERNAL_INTERFACE -p tcp \ -s $MYIPADDR $SERVER_PORT -j ACCEPT -l What I'm unclear on is how to write the forward rule, if that's what I need, to forward the port on the firewall machine to the port on the internal machine. I'm not sure if I can "simply" write a ipchains -A forward rule or if I need to use something like ipmasqadm in addition to ipchanis.

[SLE] gnome 1.2

Calling all gnome fans!! I pulled of the rpms for the latest gnome release from helixcode. I am running suse 6.4 but support says 6.3 packages should work (which is what the helixcode is packaged for). When I try to install the package, I get dependency errors for libjpeg.so.6; I already have libjpeg.so.62 so I added a simlink in /usr/lib from .6 to .62 Didn't work! Any ideas? TIA, Adi Gadwale. Are there any gnome aficianados && suse user sites out there?? -- 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/
