[SLE] GTS Prophet II
by seanmcgrath＠flashcom.net 01 Jul '00

01 Jul '00

Sorry if this has been rehashed but simply can't get X to run under Suse 6.4 with my new GTS Geforce 2 Prophet II (Hercules 64 meg card). It worked perfectly with my Geforce 32 meg card by Hercules (Prophet I). I upgraded the card, and lost graphics - I get a garbled display. When I attempt to reconfigure under SAX, I get a garbled display as well when attempting to start the X server. This garbled display ruins all console shells, I have to hard reboot. Can anyone suggest what to do? I am a newbie at Linux and do not know how to install the new nvidia driver. Can anyone help please? I'm at a loss.... and am stuck using Windows (eeek!) \\\|/// \\ - - // ( @ @ ) ----o00o-(_)-o00o------------------------------------- Sean McGrath, RN, BSN, CCRN E-mail : seanmcgrath(a)flashcom.net ICQ : 7466420 ".....Nurses heal the World....." -- 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/faq

[SLE] Batch file in Linux?
by horatio＠gm.gamemaster.qc.ca 01 Jul '00

01 Jul '00

How can I create a batch file to start a program with some arguments? For example, there's a program that I start from a console command line with the following: xboard -ics -icshost 164.58.253.13 -icshelper timeseal. That's rather long to type so a batch file would be handy... It could of course be started from the command line, but the ideal solution would be from the KDE desktop. Is there a How-To file about that somewhere? Any XBoard user here who has solved this "problem"?

[SLE] ANNOUNCE: KDE Snapshot Binaries available 2000-06-30

---------- Forwarded message ---------- Subject: ANNOUNCE: KDE Snapshot Binaries available 2000-06-30 In-Reply-To: <00053110091701.05787(a)cpqlap.nebsllc.com> Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.21.0006301815420.2299-100000(a)thebox.nebsllc.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII A Fourth or July weekend present for all of you! (Where you wondering what you can do over this long weekend? now you know :-)) These binaries have been pretty well tested for basic functionality. The RPM's have been rebuilt to solve several dependency problems. If for some reason you have conflicts with the RPM's do a --force --nodeps on the install. VERY IMPORTANT: THESE BINARIES ARE CREATED FROM THE CVS AND MAY NOT BE IDENTICAL TO THE BETA THAT WAS RELEASED. THESE ARE NOT OFFICIAL KDE BINARIES. (DEVELOPERS: The date in kapp.h is changed to 20000630). A new version of the KDE ALPHA binaries are available at us.mandrakesoft.com. Please read the README file in the same directory. Just in case you missed it "READ THE README" prior to doing anything! If you need help installing please go to www.kde.org and look for directions. These binaries are built from CVS as of 30 June 2000 at 12:00am Eastern Standard Time (-0500). Please bring all install questions to the un-official kde-alpha list at kde-alpha-request(a)nebsllc.com. These binaries are built with QT 2.1.1 (-3mdk if you are a mandrake rpm user). You must have qt 2.1.1 with jpeg support compiled. Get it in the same directories as the packages or at any Mandrake-devel mirror. When you upgrade plese consider copying your old /opt/kde2 to an /opt/kde2.old directory and then installing. This way you have something to go back to. These files are available via ftp from: ftp://us.mandrakesoft.com/pub/kde or via http at: http://us.mandrakesoft.com/~molnarc (follow links for kde2 Alpha binaries) You will also be able to find these at (after a few days): http://www.htw-dresden.de/~s2697 The RPM's will appear on the Mandrake-devel (cooker) mirrors in the contribs directory within the next few days. They have been uploaded to the primary host. The RPM installs have been tested by me on a Mandrake 7.1 machine. They have also been reported to work on all other distributions. The rpm's are built with Mandrake 7.1. If you are not running the most recent version of rpm, I would suggest an upgrade. If you are running prior Alpha's I highly recommend you update. There are a lot of fixes and some structural changes in the packages. You will also find Source tar.gz's in the same directory. -- ------------------------------------------------------- Christopher Molnar,RHCE New England Business Services, LLC Mandrake Software Hartford, CT USA (860)956-9408 molnarc(a)nebsllc.com molnarc(a)mandrakesoft.com "It said uses Windows 95 or better, so I loaded Linux!" ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Cheers, Christopher Mahmood ------------------------------------------------------------------- SuSE Inc., Tel: +1-510-628-3380, x5024 580 Second St., Suite 210 Fax: +1-510-628-3381 Oakland CA 94607 Email: ckm(a)suse.com USA WWW: http://www.suse.com ------------------------------------------------------------------- -- 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/faq

Hello Everyone, Strange problem, I installed a clean install of SuSE linux (I used to have 6.3 installed) 6.4 and now I have have "No route to host" with I telnet to my second machine. Nothing changed on the second with respect to routing. The previous install of SuSE linux (6.3) the routing was fine. I did nothing special in the previous as I did in the new install of SuSE linux. Now I have a route problem....go figure :) Anywho, I will proceed to show as much network info as possible below: Route table: Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface 206.66.0.70 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo 0.0.0.0 206.66.0.70 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 ppp0 Snap shot of 'dmesg' (with respect to eth0) tulip.c:v0.91g-ppc 7/16/99 becker(a)cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov eth0: Lite-On 82c168 PNIC rev 32 at 0xa400, 00:A0:CC:5C:27:82, IRQ 10. eth0: MII transceiver #1 config 3000 status 7829 advertising 01e1. ifconfig output: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:A0:CC:5C:27:82 inet addr:192.168.1.1 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:33 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 Interrupt:10 Base address:0xa400 /etc/hosts file: 127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.1.1 thewave1.airmail.net thewave1 192.168.1.2 thewave2 ::1 localhost ipv6-localhost ipv6-loopback fe00::0 ipv6-localnet ff00::0 ipv6-mcastprefix ff02::1 ipv6-allnodes ff02::2 ipv6-allrouters ff02::3 ipv6-allhosts Note: Don't ask me the where the 'ipv6' stuff came from..I have no idea :) 192.168.1.1 (thewave1) is the main machine and 192.168.1.2 (thewave2) is the second machine.
