[SLE] Problems w/ NIC flaking out... I think.
by milanuk＠yahoo.com 08 Sep '00

08 Sep '00

Ok. Here is the scenario. I have the kids computer running SuSE 6.4. It is a generic, no-name Celeron 266 w/ 64M RAM, onboard sound (Crystal 4236), on-board video (ATI Rage Pro AGP w/ 8M RAM), a 3.2G EIDE HD, and of course, ps/2 mouse, keyboard, 17" monitor, speakers. It also has a Netgear FA310TX 10/100Mb PCI Ethernet card. All the pc's in the house are connected via a LinkSys 10/100 5-port switch (I doubt it's the switch, as the problem occured before the switch, when I had a Netgear FE-104 hub). There are times when I want to log into the kids computer (upstairs) from my computer (downstairs). Every so often, I can't get in via the network. telnet returns an error complaining of 'No route to host'. Ping times out. telneting to other hosts, i.e. the freesco firewall, or using the Win98 box via vnc, work, but once logged into those hosts, I still can't reach the kids computer. If I go to the kids computer, 'ifconfig' shows eth0 as up and running, but w/ ~35500 errors last time. A quick 'ifconfig eth0 down' and then 'ifconfig eth0 up' seems to fix the problem, at least for a week or two. I seriously doubt any extra-curricular activities on the part of the kids, as this problem started this summer, while they were away on vacation. Is it just a flaky nic? Or is this something else?

[SLE] where do you report an error in SuSe installation?
by pjh＠cstone.net 07 Sep '00

07 Sep '00

I've looked at SuSe's site but couldn't find any place to report an error so I'll do it here in hopes that one of the SuSe folks will notice and pass it on: If you run sax (Suse 6.4) and select Cornerstone P1700 monitor, it sets Hsync=31-117 and Vsync=50-144. These values are both wrong and the monitor won't work with them. Correct values are: Hsync=31-130 and Vsync=50-160. -- 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] I need a help with perl
by mendes＠mgconecta.com.br 07 Sep '00

07 Sep '00

Hello I need to hack somebody's else code but I don't know an iota about perl. It is a function which gets the full pathname for a file, however the pathname has spaces and = on it. How can I use the same variable but changing spaces for \-space and = for \=. Thanks a lot.

[SLE] LPRng vs lpd on SuSE 6.4
by milanuk＠yahoo.com 07 Sep '00

07 Sep '00

Hello, I have my HP LaserJet 2100 setup and printing finally. I may go ahead and change the drivers ala the Linux Printing Database just to see if I can finally squeak the the true 1200 dpi out of the printer. But in the mean time, I have a question/issue I'd like to address. I tried setting up the printer w/ YaST2, at first. Sometimes it finds the printer as a HP 2100, and sets it up. Other times it sees it as a HP ljet 5/5M, and sets it up. Regardless of _how_ YaST2 sees the printer, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. So I decided to set up the printer using the original yast. Ok, so I select the mono, other printer --> HP ljet5 grey, 600dpi, which seems to work ok. Until I decided to change from lpold to lprng. Printing pretty much stopped. I haven't gone in and really dug around yet, but I am curious: is this something others have ran into? i.e. switching from lpold to lprng kills printing? Any suggestions as to what specifically needs fixed? Also, I am looking into actually getting network printing working on my lan. Does the 'administer remote printer' menu in yast work if the remote printer queue is lprng vs. lpold(lpd)? What about the 'Printer' icon on the desktop?
