Hi all, I am wondering how to fix loading lp module. I had this problem since 2.2.16. This are system messages: > modprobe lp /lib/modules/2.2.17/misc/lp.o: init_module: Device or resource busy /lib/modules/2.2.17/misc/lp.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.2.17/misc/lp.o failed /lib/modules/2.2.17/misc/lp.o: insmod lp failed I was trying to add a line in /etc/rc.d/boot.local /sbin/modprobe lp >dmesg gives following: lp: no devices found Thanks in advance.

[SLE] How do I...?
by jkreps＠rev.state.ne.us 12 Sep '00

I have a shell script, bbs_login, that I currently have set to that ./bashrc calles in in the user account when they dialin. I'm using mgetty. When the option to quit is chosen the bbs_login scripts quits, as it should. What i would really like to have happen is that the user is logged OUT of their account, back to the login screen. It seems that the only way I can think of is to write some C code and compile it. Rename /bin/bash as /bin/bash_old and save the compiled C code as /bin/bash. I don't really want to do that. Is there a system command I can send from a script that will log the user out and not just drop back to the bash shell. (i.e., can I call a script with '-' as the login does (-bash)?

[SLE] sendmail - "no route to host" on local net
by news＠onastick.clara.co.uk 12 Sep '00

12 Sep '00

I seem to be having intermittent problems using sendmail to relay from my Linux box to my windows box. The Linux machine is running a DNS server along with DHCP server - the '95 box gets it's IP and name from this machine. This all works fine - I can ping, masquerade all that good stuff. I've set sendmail up to route all given mail to an smtp server running on the win95 box by an entry in the /etc/mail/mailertable file - this all works okay. If both machines are up, mail is relayed across just fine, however, if the Windows box is not switched on when sendmail tries to relay mail to it, I get logged 'Deferred: No route to host' - fine. But after I switch the Windows box on - it gets a valid IP, name etc, kick sendmail (sendmail -q) I still get the 'no route to host' messages logged. Can't seem to persuade it to recognize the machine is 'there' as it were. Only way I can seem to get it to work is to connect to the 'net, disconnect then kick it - all okay. On a side note, if you are not using 'rc.config' provide the sendmail parameters, where do you specify the startup params (as in '-q30 -om' business) - I'd like to turn the 30 minute delivery off if I can.

[SLE] Kernel problem
by risselada-a＠hetnet.nl 12 Sep '00

Hello all. Hooking up with the prevously sent question: The problem wan't the processor. I now compiled the kernel with pentium MMX option enabled. This wouldn't work either. The kernel still wasn't booting at all. I tried to boot the kernel on LO speed (de-turbo), and this seems to work. We came a little further. It was doing all sorts of thing, but suddenly a message came up. It sayed Requere TSC feature. This is a Time Stamp Counter I figured out, but how to enable it. When I use 586, there apears extra options in the .config file, with tsc in the line. I know almost sure I use the Wincip C6 stepping 1 from centaur. Even during booting the kernel this appears to be treu (message) Can anybosy give me a cleu Greedz Alex -- "There was an interesting development in the CBS-Westmoreland trial: both sides agreed that after the trial, Andy Rooney would be allowed to talk to the jury for three minutes about little things that annoyed him during the trial." -- David Letterman ------------------------------------- This Email is 100% Virus Free!

[SLE] IDE tape drives
by zentara＠gypsyfarm.com 12 Sep '00

12 Sep '00

Hi, I'm looking to get an ide tape drive in the 10 to 20 gig range. I saw a Seagate STT 3200000A for less than $200. Would anyone care to recommend one that will work with the standard kernel drivers? Do all ide tapes work with the ide tape support in the kernel?

I found what the problem was, Michael! I used the basic 'kedit' editor when I was at home, but at work I was using the "Advanced Editor" and had the Options set to show BASH script syntax. When I switched back to kedit and save it every thing begin to work again. So, the problem was in using the 'Advanced Editor'. Apparently it was saving invisible control characters in the file and they were barfing the shell parser.

Hi Steve I bought an Epson Colour Stylus 440 when they first came out about a year ago. Does everything that I want it to in SuSE 6.4 and also in Star Office 5.2. Have not tried it in SuSE 7.0 yet, waiting for the Upgrade.

bash scripts are not behaving. The following script, which works on my SuSE 6.3 at home, fails on SuSE 6.4 at work with the following messages: ...Line 4: syntax error near unexpected token clearscr(){ ...Line 4: 'clearscr(){ If I remove the function and put its contents in place of clearscr then I get the same error msg but it barfs on the 'in' of 'case $mychoice in'. Bash will also barf if it encounters a blank line, or any trailing white spaces. Sensitivities which SuSE at home never displays. I carefully removed all trailing white spaces from each line, made each space between words just 1 char wide, and removed all blank lines. I made sure all indentation was by tabs. It worked for a while, but the next time I edited the script, to remove a '-k' from the sz line, it barfed and has refused to work since. Here is the script: #!/bin/bash fext=".001" clearscr(){ clear; echo "Hello, $LOGNAME, Select your choice:"; echo "1) Change Password"; echo "2) Download file using a 3 digit Julian day. Today:$(date +%j)"; echo "3) Quit"; } clearscr while true do echo -n "Choice? " read mychoice case "$mychoice" in 1) echo "Passwords must be 8 or less characters and/or numbers" sleep 3 passwd $LOGNAME echo "$LOGNAME did a Password change" >> /tmp/bbs_users_log echo "Password command completed..." sleep 2 ;; 2) ls *.001 echo -n "Enter the 3 digit Julian Day, 001 to 365:" read julian fname="$LOGNAME$julian$fext" if [ -f $fname ] && [ -n $fname ] then sz -Z -N $fname echo "$LOGNAME Downloaded file:$fname">> /tmp/bbs_users_log echo "Download complete" sleep 1 else echo "Couldn't find: $fname , or file was empty." sleep 2 fi ;; 3) exit ;; *) echo "$mychoice is NOT a choice" sleep 2 esac clearscr done -- 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
