[SLE] mc segfaults on 6.4
by neonatus＠neonatus.net 17 Sep '00

17 Sep '00

Hi! I have just upgraded my laptop from suse 6.2 to suse 6.4 (eval), and have found out that mc segfaults every time in console, but works in xterm?? ldd shows that all the libs are in place... there are no other errors, just Segmentation fault in console and everything works in X11's xterm. Any clues how to fix it? THX in advance!

Hello Is there a way to convert mp3 files to wav format and record them, one by one, directly to a cd? My hd is almost full. Thanks a lot.

[SLE] /etc/securetty
by ccarson＠change.com 17 Sep '00

I want to enable root logins from anywhere. (I know, this is bad, but this is a machine that I care little about, just want to use it to house stuff I need when I am in the field) In the past, I forget now, but I used to add entries to /etc/securetty other than tty[0-9]. I know I can simply remove this file to accomplish what I want but what can I add to this file to allow just 1 remote root login at a time?

You need to get the very latest ethernet drivers from Donald Becker's site at: http://www.scyld.com/network/updates.html ftp://ftp.scyld.com/pub/network/netdriver-2.0.src.rpm It will not work with the old driver (at all).

You have not got a working card driver loaded yet -- once you have, you can use yast to configure and it will work (and you might want to take a look at /etc/rc.config to see if there are any more options you want to use -- be sure to remember to run SuSEconfig after modifying /etc/rc.config or configuring with yast (if it forgets to do so for you, as it sometimes will)). -- 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] Maximum swap space?
by alex＠daniloff.com 17 Sep '00

17 Sep '00

Hello Linux folkz, I got a little bit confused with the size of single swap partition Linux can handle. Running Linux book stated that: "A single swap partition may be up to 128 MB in size. I you wish to use more than 128 MB of swap you can create multiple swap partitions. For example, if you need 256 MB of swap, you can create two 128-MB swap partitions." Recently somebody on Linux mailing list described his server having 256 MB and 1 GB single swap partitions. Does it mean that modern Linux kernels can handle a single swap partition of these sizes and the book gets a little bit outdated? Could somebody clarify me these issues. Thanks in advance.

Re: [SLE] netscrap 4.75 bus errors - xshared?

Gerry, Don't give up! That's the beauty of Linux you just keep trying! ;-) I upgraded my Netscpae 4.72 to 4.75 and I started getting Bus error everytime I tried to launch version 4.75, except if I was logged as root in which case verything work beautifully. So I gave up and decided to switch desktops from KDE to GNOME and that is when I got into problems. In the end I couldn't even go back to KDE all I got was FWM2 window manager which is the deafault WM when all else fails. I have now decided to install the whole lot. Now that I re-install everything from scratch my video card works much much better, I can now get all the resolution and colour depth under the sun! I can run Netscape 4.72 without problem, I can switch to GNOME without any problem. Great! ...I think I'll give it until next week for this false sense of security to wear out and I'll have another go at upgrading GNOME and Netscape! Wish me good luck! :-) ciao Carlos ------Original Message------ From: Gerry Doris <gdoris(a)home.com> To: Michael Galloway <mgx(a)ornl.gov> Sent: September 14, 2000 11:15:35 PM GMT Subject: Re: [SLE] netscrap 4.75 bus errors - xshared? I gave up trying to get Netscape 4.75 to work. I just went back to 4.72 that does work on my system. I'm on a home network behind a firewall so I don't think there's too much of a security problem...afterall, if someone's messing with netscape on this box then that's the least of my worries.

[SLE] XFCE 3.5
by richard＠sheflug.co.uk 17 Sep '00

17 Sep '00

Dear All Yesterday I upgraded my SuSE 6.4 Compaq notebook to XFCE 3.5 from the version that is supplied with the SuSE distribution. After doing the upgrade I did what I was told to do and ran "xfce_upgrade" from the command line. The old file was saved to I know not where. It flashed across the screen too quickly. I used xfce-3.5.0-1.i386.rpm to upgrade and YaST installed it without problems. I now find when I start X-Windows that I can only start CTWM which is the emergency WM under SuSE 6.4. I've run YaST a few times and it shows that XFCE is the default WM. How do I get out of this ? I haven't hacked WM configuration files before and I've no idea what to do.

[SLE] Redirecting Setiathome email option to local root email...
by creimer＠rahul.net 17 Sep '00

17 Sep '00

Greetings! I noticed that the Setiathome client has an email option to send out error messages to the default login address (my real email address). I just recently switched out the motherboard and CPU, and noticed that Setiathome has not been functioning properly. I would like to invoke this email option but sendmail on this particular machine is not configured to send email out to the internet. Is it possible to create an alais to redirect the outgoing Setiathome internet email to the root email account instead? (I'm sure this is possible but I'm not sure how or where to do it.) Thanks!

What is the diferance between the Netscape versions.
