Sound card
by Romain Boulanger 22 Jan '01

22 Jan '01

Hi all, I actually have a problem with my sound card. I just changed my card (I have installed SuSE 7.0 with a Sound Blaster 16, and I have changed to a SB PCI 128 ensoniq 1371), but I don't manage to install it. However, I've changed /etc/modules.conf as indicated in the docs, but when typing lsmod, my sound card does'nt appear... When typing depmod -a, it answers depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.2.16/pcmcia/mpsuni_cs.o in /opt/kde/bin/startkde , I can't find exactly the lines startifaudio kaudioserver startifaudio kwmsound that I'm supposed to change, but there are startifthere kcontrol -init sleep 1 ; startifaudio kaudioserver (sleep 1 && startaudio kwmsound) & should I change these lines? Thanks, Romain

"In this house we obey the laws of thermodynamics!" (Homer Simpson) They are Windows/Dos files. The concepts of owner and permissions don't apply. Cliff

Hello, I'd like to know how can I get with sendmail that my server only send e-mails to my local domain? For example, if my domain is domain.com, when an user try to send to user(a)otherdomain.com, an error appears to notice him that he can't send to this recipient. Thank you very much

Re: [SLE] WindowMaker 0.63-1 RPMS and SPMS ready for SuSE 7.0, want to upload
by Anders Dahlqvist 22 Jan '01

Thank you for the offer, Chris, and everyone else who has offered hosting! When I posted my original message I didn't know that the procedure for uploading is quite easy: 1. There's a dropzone, ftp.suse.com:/pub/incoming. Anyone can upload stuff there. 2. You have to submit a mail to upload(a)suse.com about what you have uploaded. Otherwise it will be deleted. 3. If your'e lucky it will end up in ftp.suse.com:/pub/contrib There's a README.upload file that describes what you need to know. Personally I think SuSe should advertise this better and hand out T-shirt and mascots(for purely selfish reasons) if your upload is approved. Some of the other distros - I hate to say it- are actually better in this respect.

Hi, maybe it is a stupid question, but when I want to change the owner of my windows partitions or change permissions, it doesn't work. It work fine with other files. What do I do wrong? Thanks Charlie Ti

adding fstab to installation disks
by joe 22 Jan '01

22 Jan '01

I did not receive a response from my previous request, but I have thought about it and think my problem may have to do with the way SuSE sees the hard drive. I would like to try adding the current fstab to the installation disk, is there an easy way to do that and have the installation program use it? thanks in advance joe PS: previous request for help: Need help for directory install problems with new hardware Date: Sun, 21 Jan 2001 19:08:32 -0500 I have the entire SuSe 7.0 ftp site on my hard drive, I had no problems doing a hard drive install making the boot/install disks. However, I have since upgraded my hardware to a Athlon 800 MHZ, ATI Xpert2000 , and Memorex 48 eide cdrom. When I try to do a hard drive install it says the directory is wrong. At first I thought it was the Maxtor ez-bios that was installed, so we removed that and reformatted the 40 gig drive using the new hardware, copied the cdroms to the drive and tried the install. No go- it may be a problem with not finding a inst-img ? But I looked all over the suse ftp site but can not find one. My old version of suse 6.3 has no trouble installing packages from the hard drive, I can upgrade everything, but if I try to do an entire install or upgrade, it complains that my version of YaST is too old and I need to use the boot disks - unfortunately the boot disks don't work. Desperation sets in, I try doing a complete install from SuSE 6.3 6 cdrom set and NO GO, it complains I don;t have enough memory for a ftp install ( need 32 megs I only have 128 megs, go figure) The install stops after the first disk complains about memory problems, the 128 megs just ain't enough according to suse 6.3. What's going on? It looks like I need to upgrade to 7.0 to use my new hardware, if I could only get the boot disk to work. My Suse 7.0 ftp site is stored on /dev/hdb11/cdrom/suse Any help will be appreciated. thanks in advance joe ..

KDE Desktop no longer starts automatically -- help!
by Robert C. Paulsen Jr. 22 Jan '01

22 Jan '01

Hello fellow SuSErs! After installing XFree84-4.0.2, I have the following problem with KDE/KDM/KWM: When I log in from the KDM screen, I simply get a single xterm. My KDE desktop does not load. I put a few echo statements in /sbin/init.d/xdm and they show that WINDOWMANAGER and DISPLAYMANAGER are set to "kdm" and "kwm" -- what else needs to be set up? If I run .xinitrc from the xterm window, then the KDE desktop starts OK. Also, If I kill the X-session and run startx (as a normal user from a tty) then KDE Starts up OK. Just yesterday I installed XFree86 4.0.1 and did not have this problem! I thought putting 4.0.2 on top would be easy. ======= The following may or may not be significant ============= I do get several errors when I run .xinitrc: robert@home:~ > . .xinitrc Updating default desktop Creating Floppy icons... Creating CD-ROM icons... Creating ZIP icons... Creating Windows - harddisk icons... Creating Harddisk icons... Starting kcontrol -init...Done.
