[SLE] Suse 7.0 pro + yast2 + modem = no install :-(
by I.White＠itss.nerc.ac.uk 11 Sep '00

11 Sep '00

Hi, I have just spent all weekend trying to install the above from DVD (I assume CDs would be the same - but I'm not trying yet !). The symptoms are that near the end of the installation a red box appears stating that an error occured in the installation - not very useful ! However, after searching news archives I found other people had the same problem and that If I selected the alt-f3/4 terminal screens I could get the error message, which I did . It says something on the following lines : /lib/YaST2/bin/YaST2: line 162: 60 segmentation fault y2bignfat "$modulename" $moduleargs qt -T -style=platinum -fn "-gnu-unifont-medium-r-normal--16-160-75-75-p-80-iso10646-1" -geometry 640x480 -no-wm /lib/YaST2/bin/YaST2: line 163: 56 Killed x -deferglyphs 16vt07 2>/dev/tty8 1> &2 /lib/YaST2/bin/YaST2.Start return code is 35584 (errno = 2) After much testing I found that it is caused by leaving my modem (Pace solo external com2) on during installation ! If I switched it off it would install, however when I try to setup the Kinternet it says my modem connection is not configured. If I run yast2 and try to detect the modem it fails - despite the rx/tx lights flashing. What can I do ? Is there a patch to yast 2 to make it work, is there a known problem with this and other modems, can I use kinternet to setup the modem correctly, or do I use another method ? Also why is Xfree86 version 3 and not 4 installed ? (using a TNT2u card) is it safe to run sax2 and let it convert to version 4 ? I tried it a couple of times and it really screwed my keyboard up - no keys matched reality ! Is this realted to the modem or other hardware problem, did I do something wrong - or should I stick to Mandrake which detects everything nicely ?

[SLE] Gnome's on my 6.4 Desktop....
by bobbyg＠ihug.co.nz 11 Sep '00

11 Sep '00

Hi All, I finally used the "official" Gnome install thingy, rather than just running rpm -Uvh & then went into YAST-1 & changed default desktops. One word-YUM. Gnome 1.2 is a very cool piece of work & it picked up all of my KDE menu bits. So, SuSE'ers on this list-does the SuSE 7.0 release of KDE automatically pick up Gnome apps? Does a full featured Gnome come with the official release? Third & lastly, well done so far guys :-) *BFN* Haralambos :-) Hire the morally handicapped. -- 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] DNS Error?
by bartosh＠ocean.tamu.edu 11 Sep '00

11 Sep '00

This is slightly off topic, but since I am using SuSE for my DNS Server, I'll ask. My setup is accepting zxone xfers from slaves, and when I use it as a local nameserver all works. But apperantly (according to the utility I am using, DNS Professional by men and mice) my machine is not responding to queries from machines that see it's status as domain master, and all queries are going to my slave (which successfully gets the data from my host). Any idea what I could be doing wrong? My host is in a DMZ, but all other network functions seem to be doing fine. -mab -- 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] Disappearing RPM list
by nick.gaunt＠phnt.swest.nhs.uk 11 Sep '00

Hi I just upgraded 6.3 to 6.4 on my laptop and now, when I open KPackage, there are no packages listed in the left hand window and when I open any valid RPM there is nothing in the file list tab on the right hand side. Where have all the installed packages gone? The rest of 6.4 runs like a dream :-) Any ideas what I should do?

[SLE] ASP on Linux
by stryder＠facestech.com 11 Sep '00

11 Sep '00

FYI. Somebody asked the other day about asp on linux. There is a company called chili!soft that does that. http://www.chilisoft.com/ I beleive that they are owned by Cobalt Networks, those nice people who put linux in blue internet device boxes. They should know what they are doing. Their web pages say they do asp on SuSE 6.4 and apache_1.3.12 Regards, -- 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

I am thinking about buying an Asus K7V. Does anyone has any experience about it? Is the sound card supported by Suse linux? Is the AGP Slot supported by Suse linux?? Does it have any problem with Geforce DDR?

Re: [SLE] supply and demand
by purpleshirt＠hotmail.com 10 Sep '00

Here is why: I tend to plan things. I am also quite an economist. I was NEVER intending to buy 7.0. Reason is 'I was planning on buying 7.1' when it most likely has kernel 2.4 in it. Now SuSE is making me upset a bit and I am close to not buying 7.1 I am making right now decisions for far in the future due to treatment I receive now. So if SuSE would get their release schedule a bit tighter this all would be no problem: - make any release announcements when they actually deliver a product and not 6 weeks ahead of time - stick to their release dates and don't push them back suddenly (this rolls back to the previous comment, don't announce something you not ready to deliver) - release the US version within two weeks of the German one (or release the ftp immediately so people around the world don't have to fucking wait for SuSE to comply with encryption export laws in the US. I mean how do all the Aussies feel that they have to wait for the US release even though it is not them who got the stupid encryption export laws) - release the ftp version a week after that And you know all of this is true because others on the list already said: I won't upgrade to 7.0 because it doesn't have kernel 2.4 in it. Just because there is some people who skip out on the buying of a release doesn't mean they should be punished and not be able to ftp install it. As long as you have a customer you want to keep him. That is the rule of business and there is anal people like me who like to skip on a release and wait for the next. By SuSE not putting up the ftp it is making those people upset. Most SuSE customers most likely have a less worthy connection speed and always buy the package. I am one of the people who got all his machines on a fast connection and I like to take advantage of it. The way SuSE is releasing things though I cannot do so in the timely manner I like to. As far as it concerns me SuSE has been jeopardizing 70 dollars out of my pocket for release 7.1 since August 25, 2000(German delayed release date). Simple as that. mk >From: "Victor R.
