[SLE] Word Perfect 8 install problems
by vcardona＠home.com 02 Jul '00

02 Jul '00

Hi, everyone, I am trying to install my full version of WP8 onto my SuSE 6.4 box. I used to run it on SuSE 6.2 without any problems, but now, I cannot install it. Basically, it throws a lot of errors saying that files do not exist. From the looks of it these "nonexistent" files on supposed to be on the CD. Has anyone else tried to install WordPerfect, and have you gotten around this?

[SLE] somethings missing
by tomas＠primenet.com 02 Jul '00

02 Jul '00

I recently installed 6.4 after using 6.3 for quite some time, somehow I missed something somewhere cause now when I try to compile ssh with the source rpm, it fails because it didn't compile the ssh-askpass and ssh-askpass1 files so it was unable to create the binary rpm's. I know the ssh-askpass is somehow X related which makes me think that I missed an X evel package somewhere when I installed, but I can't fathom which one it could be. Anyone have any clues? -- S.Toms - tomas(a)primenet.com - www.primenet.com/~tomas SuSE Linux v6.3+ - Kernel 2.2.14 -- 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] sax2 from suse.ftp doesnt work on 6.2
by neonatus＠gimp.thz.net 02 Jul '00

02 Jul '00

Hi! I have just downloaded xfree 4.0 rpm's from SuSE's ftp site. After installing all the rpm's i ran ldconfig and then sax2. all the output that I get out of sax2 is this: SaX: . And than it crashes without an error. I don't know what's wrong, but I did notice, that it requires perl_stc and perl_gtx packages, which I don't seem to have and I couldn't find them on the SuSE's ftp site either. And another thing - my colors are all messed up in Xfree 4.0 (ati mach64 - Xpert@work) and I don't know how to set dga to make VMware work at full-screen. Does anyone have a solution/cure for my problems? THX in advance!

[SLE] Music CDs - Can't Play
by jerryvb＠mindspring.com 02 Jul '00

02 Jul '00

Sorry for going over this again, but the recent posts didn't solve my problem. I have SuSE 6.4 installed. A Sound Blaster 16 PNP sound card. I can't hear any sound when I play audio CDs with KSCD. I can see KSCD reading the CD, the light on the CD-ROM drive flashes, but no sound out of the speakers. Other sounds work, i.e. KDE startup .wavs, etc. Just nothing from audio Cds. My /dev/cdrom permission is already 0666. Please help, thanks in advance.

Hello everyone, I downloaded and installed Gnome 1.2. My only question now is how can I start it. I would like to be able to use kdm to choose a window manager when logging in, but Gnome is no longer listed. Gnome is no longer listed in Yast either. Is there any way that I can add it to kdm so that it is an option?

[SLE] SuSE 6.2 + YAST + Modprobe ppa ~ YAST refuses to start
by tabanna＠aig.forthnet.gr 02 Jul '00

02 Jul '00

YAST Refuses to start ________________________ I mention this, in case of interest :- When I boot my 'puter, the start-up script does a "modprobe ppa" for the purpose of installing my External Iomega Zip Drive. The weather being very hot [ 42 deg Celsius expected tomorrow], I unplug the ZipDrive transformer, when I am not using the ZipDrive. YAST does not start, when called, UNLESS the Zip transformer is plugged into the power supply. { I also suspect that this may impact a blind-spot in DNS look-up.} -- best:) Richard Aegina, Greece ________________ ____________ sent on Linux ____________ This Email is 100% Virus Free!

[SLE] Problem with installation of 6.4 from hard disk
by dusinger＠erols.com 02 Jul '00

02 Jul '00

I am trying to install 6.4 from a hard disk on my home PC (pentium 200). The boot disk hda1 is a removable 3.2 GB IDE disk with 6.3, the complete source tree for 6.4 is on a 8 GB partition (hdb3). The same source tree has been used to install 6.4 via ftp on my job, so it should be okay. Yast 1.03 finds the 6.4 source, but of course complains that Yast 1.05 is need for this installation medium. However, if I boot from a diskette with a 6.4 boot image I get the installation screen, but after choosing hard disk as the installation medium Yast 1.05 gives an error message "Cannot find the image!" I've tried different variations for the source path, but can't get Yast to install 6.4. And because I want to install 6.4 on a separate removable hard disk without loosing my 6.3 installation I need to get the installation via boot diskette running. I couldn't find solutions in the 6.4 installation manual or in the list archieve. Any help or hints would be much appreciated.
