SB PCI
by Romain Boulanger 30 Jan '01

30 Jan '01

Well I've problem with MIDI, so I think thaht, as I am a newbie, I could have not well installed my soundcard (Ensoniq SBPCI 1371). I've been told that alsa was the simpliest way to install a PCI soundcard, so I tried (I just say 'tried') to install it with alsa. Firstly, with YaST2: Everything is ok, it detects my soundcard (Ensoniq Creative Sound Blaster AudioPCI 128), but then it says "the kernel module snd-card-ens1371 for sound support can't be loaded". So, no sound... Secondly, with alsaconf: Everything i ok, it detects mu soundcard..., seems to install it and... Starting sound driver: snd-card-ens1371 alsactl: The sound card 'card1' was not found... alsactl: The sound card 'card1' was not found... /lib/modules/2.2.16/misc/snd-card-ens1371.o: init_module: Device orn resource busy Hint: this error can be caused by incorrect parameters, including IO or IRQ parameters. /lib/modules/2.2.16/misc/snd-card-ens1371.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.2.16/snd-card-ens1371.o failed /lib/modules/2.2.16/misc/snd-card-ens1371.o: insmod snd-card-ens1371 failed. Now I have the same message when I boot, concluded by a wonderful 'done' (it looks like Microsoft...) and no sound. When I installed my soundcard with OSS (before alsa), I had sound, but no MIDI, and I had to type 'modprobe es1371' after each boot to make my soundcad work. So I think a soundcard half working is better than a soundcard not working, and I will uninstall alsa, but I will need to have MIDI very soon, because I use a software in my job which uses MIDI (the developers of this soft themselves adviced me a SB PCI 128, so it does'nt come from the soundcard...). So I probably misunderstand something in the docs (because O know people having MIDI with the same soundcard and SuSE), anyone can help me? Thanks, Romain

ssh-keygen -l does not work with dsa keys

Hi SuSErs, Did anyone run into this problem? I'm using openssh 2.3.0p1 and command ssh-keygen -l -f .ssh/id_dsa.pub produces: .ssh/id_dsa.pub is not a valid key file while the key is pretty usable. rsa keys are processed without problems. Thanks, -Kastus

[sle] Questions about Linux software and what to replace Outlook and Organiser with.....
by Shane Broomhall 30 Jan '01

30 Jan '01

Hi All, My name is Shane Broomhall, I work with windows software on a daily basis, I am in the process of learning Linux and I have installed SUSE 7 on my IBM laptop, as a Dual boot machine. I am still at a basic stage and learning how to use the system, that is why I am still doing all my work under Win 98. I am hoping to find programs that can perform the same jobs as : Microsoft Outlook with regard to handling Email and automatically placing it into folders using rules or similar & Lotus Organiser for booking appointments. I am planning on dual booting until I am comfortable enough to handle problems that may occur and getting my Winmodem to work if possible. I am planning to use Star Office as my office suite to replace Office 2000. I would appreciate any comments from anyone on applications I can use to replace Outlook and Organiser with similar functionality. Thanks in advance. shanebroomhall(a)computer.org

Microsoft is not going to go away. It is foolish to believe otherwise. What will happen, with some luck, is that the market will get out from under their jackboot and people will see there are alternatives, and start to use them. This 'total cost of ownership" concept that I believe M'soft invented is one any competent "salesman" could demolish in favour of Open Source with some research. The cost of paying good technicians won't change, the cost of the spiralling strangehold of software licenses can change. It's going to take a while.. Cliff

WINE and StarCraft
by Sean Oonamey 30 Jan '01

30 Jan '01

Hey people, I was wondering if anyone has tried to run StarCraft with WINE? I tried it a couple of days ago and was successful in getting it up and running but it was horribly slow. Is this something I just have to live with or can I speed it up a bit? I'm running SuSE 6.4 on a PIII 600 with 384meg RAM. Thanks!

my apsfilter environment messed up
by dproc＠dol.net 30 Jan '01

30 Jan '01

I can't print anything, because my apsfilter script (Version: S.u.S.E.-1.6) starts choking as soon as it starts. It reports a stream of errors as soon as it is called by the lpd. The first error in its log is always head: command not found (This is the first time a binary is called by the bash script /var/lib/apsfilter .) Errors continue until the filter hands an error code back to lpd without printing anything. Any clues? dproc

routing problem
by Benoit POSTE 30 Jan '01

30 Jan '01

Hello folks, I just leafed through the archives, but couldn't seem to find anything that would help me (maybe I used the wrong keywords ... dunnow). Anyhow, here I am with my questions. I have an old box (P100, RAM 16Mb, HD 500Mb) on which I just installed Suse 7.0 (no graphic as you can imagine, HD space is tight enough as it is). I plan to use it as a router/gateway(and /firewall as soon as I can get the routing work) for one or two Win98/Linux boxes. Status for now is: - "router" (192.168.0.1) connects correctly to the internet (cable modem, DHCP) and I can use irc or browse with lynx. - "router" can see (ping) the win98 box. - win98 (192.168.0.2) box can see (ping) the router. - slight boot error with the NFS daemon, but I do not plan to use NFS for now so it should be OK. And that's about it. I recompiled the kernel (not sure this was needed, but thus I could get rid of a lot of unneeded options) to make sure that I had the right network options (networking support, networking firewalls, TCP/IP networking, IP: forwarding/gatewaying, IP: firewalling, IP: masquerading, IP: ipautofwmasquerade support, IP: ICMP masquerating, IP: always defragment, IP: optimize as router not host ... hope I got them all). I tried either rc.config, IP_FORWARD="yes" then SuSEconfig, or what I had found in a howto somewhere (can't remember where exactly): echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward; ipchains -P forward DENY; ipchains -A forward -s 192.168.0.0/24 -j MASQ ... the end result is always the same: the win98 box cannot acces internet (no ping, no ftp, no http, no irc). Any pointers/ideas? Do you think that the problem is on the Linux box or on the win98 one? TCP/IP config of the win98 box perhaps? (IP address 192.169.0.2, network mask 255.255.255.0, DNS and gateway 192.168.0.1) Thanks everyone :). Benoit.
