Re: [SLE] Mandrake

Only thing I don't like with Mandrake was having to buy EXTRA packages to get what SuSE and RH provide in the base, such as Networking Utilities & Application extensions. I still prefer SuSE for provision even though most work systems are RH. from Australia scsijon Have another beer, and well try again -----Original Message----- From: François Pinard <pinard(a)iro.umontreal.ca> To: Stefano Papini <stefano.papini(a)intercai.etnoteam.it> Cc: Greek Geek <bobbyg(a)ihug.co.nz>; suse-linux-e(a)suse.com <suse-linux-e(a)suse.com> Date: Wednesday, June 14, 2000 1:46 AM Subject: Re: [SLE] Mandrake >[Stefano Papini] > >> I agree with the reliability and smoothness of Mandrake installation [...] >> anyway just to share with you yesterday night I checked my HDs behaviour > >My first and only contact with Mandrake left me with a bad impression. >I'm sorry to not remember the details (with the amount of email flowing >here, I forget many things), but it was a bug report sent by the user of >one of my packages, and he was asking that i alter my things so Mandrake >would behave more nicely with them.

[SLE] changing F to f in a directory
by catsquotl＠softhome.net 08 May '00

08 May '00

Hello there, I have a quick question. Is there a way to change one letter in a few hundred filenames in the same directory? The setup script is looking for lowercase letters but on the cd everything is in capitol letters. I have already renamed the few names that had ordinary names there is a huge number of files beginning with F followed by a number. I`d like to automaticaly change all of these to f. Wich brings me to the idea that it would be enough to just change every cappitol to low case......hmmmmm anny ideas??? greets Cat -- 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] Alsa 0.5.7 for 2.2.13
by raghav＠easi.soft.net 08 May '00

08 May '00

Hi, I have installed 6.3 linux with kernel version 2.2.13 on my m/c. which is a Intel 810 integrated chipset (with AGP and AC 97 "AD 1881" soundcard). The Alsa version shipped with 6.3 CD does not work for this sound card. I think Alsa 0.5.7 works for this card. But Alsa 0.5.7 is compatible with 2.2.14 kernel, whereas mine is 2.2.13. Will alsa 0.5.7 rpm be available for Suse 6.3 kernel 2.2.13??

[SLE] Xfree4.0 question
by dmarkh＠cfl.rr.com 08 May '00

08 May '00

Just installed Xfree4.0 from the SuSE site, downloaded the GLX and Kernel modules from NVIDIA. WOW!!!!! Just a couple of problems though. Now when I log in (RUN LEVEL-3) as root I no longer have kde I'm in something I've never seen before. What is this for and how can I get kde back? Also if I do any package changes which causes yast to run SuSEconfig, It messes up the install of the NVIDIA GLX driver. Quake3 demo can no longer load libGL.so. Basically every time this happens I have to reinstall the NVIDIA rpms to get quake to run. This doesn't bother me too much as I'm only using quake 3 to test the NVidia 3d stuff. The change to the root login is a killer though. Any one know what I need to do to get KDE back for root? Oh yea is SuSE gonna package the NVIDIA/Xfree4.0 stuff for us any time soon????

[SLE] Nvidia & GLX
by irisinc＠gci.net 08 May '00

08 May '00

Last night I downloaded the NVIDIA and GLX for XF86 4.0. When following the installation instructions I had a few problems not described in the text but I worked around them. WOW!! I still can't believe the detail I'm receiving. One problem though. I had previously installed True Type Fonts with the help of George Zeigler's excellent HOWTO. All of the font renderings with this new NVIDIA and GLX installation are excellent with the exception of the body text in Netscape mail. No matter which fixed width font I use, the text looks like something from an old Word Star program. Funny thing though, the address block in this post has a very nice bold font that I am using throughout my installation. Does anyone have an idea about how I may effect a remedy?

[SLE] cameras or quickcams for Linux
by europax＠home.com 08 May '00

08 May '00

I am wondering if anyone has any advice on compatible still cameras or quickcams for Linux. Most of these seem to connect to USB and that is one thing I have never even tried using. I understand USB support is kind of limited.
