Heres another boneheaded question... Why wont netscape 4.72 on a SuSE 6.4 box display the PNG graphics format on webpages? Is there something I need to add?

[SLE] Problem using WVDial in user...
by horatio＠gm.gamemaster.qc.ca 01 Jul '00

01 Jul '00

Hi everybody, I have a problem when using WVDial in user mode. When I start it in a console, I get the message "Cannot open /dev/ttyS3; Permission denied". I can get over this by login in root and changing the permission with the command "chmod 666 /dev/ttyS3", althought it seems only to work for one session. Each time I shutdown the system, it has to be done again. Now, when I launch the program, it works but I get the following warnings: "Warning: Could not modify /etc/ppp/pap-secrets: Permission denied "Warning: Could not modify /etc/ppp/chap-secrets: Permission denied "CHAP (challenge handshake) may be flaky" Any idea about what might be causing these messages, and how it can be solved? Note that WVdial was installed through YAST in root mode. Also, I have seen on the WVDial web siste that there is a new version, 1.41, but the changes from previous version are not described. Is it worth the download and the installation? Here I currently uses version 1.40.

[SLE] Arkeia gripe/warning
by ethant＠pacificnet.net 01 Jul '00

01 Jul '00

Thankfully I checked the Arkeia documentation before I deleted my old harddrive. It seems that Arkeia has no way to read tapes without having the Arkeia genereated database files available. If I had deleted my old drive I would have lost the tape indexes rendering my backup tapes useless. It seems to me that any decent backup program should be able to re-create the indexes from tape if need be. I'd rather wait awhile for it to read the tape than to not have access to my backups! Their suggestion is to just tar up their config files on a separate tape because you will need those files for disaster recovery. They also say that they are working on a version of Arkeia where you don't have to do this. Thanks for listening.

[SLE] mk_initrd and image?
by rsweet＠sc-24-30-182-71.socal.rr.com 01 Jul '00

01 Jul '00

When I run mk_initrd it works fine...but it doesn't leave a initrd image in /boot and I get this message during boot: RAMDISK: Couldn't find valid RAM disk image starting at 0. Is there a way to fix this (I know there is I just cannot find the answer). Do I even need a initrd? Should I comment the initrd line out in lilo.conf? Any help would be greatly appreciated. -- .........

If your'e talking patches it ought to be patches 2.2.15 and 2.2.16 if you're upgrading from the standard (non suSE) kernel sources (2.2.14). >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Ursprungligt meddelande <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< "Michael J.
