X4.0.2 Installed, but startx renders same error.....
by mhf 15 Jan '01

15 Jan '01

Experiencing failure in attempting to configure Xwindow system. Monitor: NEC FE700 Graphics Card: ATI Radeon I downloaded all necessary XFree86 4.0.2 rpm files from SuSE70 ftp site. Installed 4.0.2 by executing commands in the same folder/directory where files were placed. Used the commands in the Readme file exactly as stated: # rpm --nodeps --force -Uhv *.rpm # ldconfig I rebooted computer and logged in as root and receive the following linux error message: There is no link /var/X11R6/bin/X to /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_xxxx which is the binary of the installed X-Server. Please link the files as mentioned above or install the X-Server and run xf86config again. I'm aborting now. Okay. I went back and executed the following link command: # ln -s /var/X11R6/bin/X /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA I received message stating, "File Exists" I thought this might be a good sign so I did xf86config again and then tried to start up Xwindow system with startx command. Still No-Go. Yikes, help. Mike Flug michael.flug(a)snet.net

Alcatel usb modem - UK ( No Linux Solution ) - SuSE help needed
by dids 15 Jan '01

15 Jan '01

Here in the UK. Those of us lucky enough to get the home package of ADSL installed, have to suffer the use of Windows to access the net. Why, because the modem is an Alcatel Speedtouch USB modem, which only has drivers for Windoze. Our T&C disallow us from changing the hardware. Surely someone from Suse-UK could offer to lend Alcatel some help in getting a linux driver sorted. There is one supposedly in production, however the site concerning it has gone down, and I believe the prospective author has suffered a tragic loss in his family. So the project is on hold. I am suffering the pointless use of a Win2000 box purely to get onto the net. gnash gnash dids www.diddyland.com

KDE2 upgrade now menu icons missing
by Laura Bello 15 Jan '01

15 Jan '01

Hi, I just recently upgraded my SuSE 7.0 installation to KDE2 with rpms I downloaded from SuSE. I used yast to install. Everything worked okay and I was able to restart everything and log in using kde2. But I don't have any menu icons in either the K menu or the SuSE menus. I have text in all but a handful of items (cut & paste & run). When I look through the icons preference there is an icon displayed so it seems to know where it is but just doesn't seem to display it in the menu. I've fooled around with things some and discovered that if there is an absolute path in the icon entry of the .desktop file the icon appears, if it's just the name of the icon it doesn't. Seems like there is a pathing thing off but don't know where I could set it. And it seems kind of crazy to re-path all the icon entries because there are a lot. Any help would be appreciated. thanks ... -laura

cgi-bin problems
by Chris Large 15 Jan '01

15 Jan '01

I was trying out the cgi-bin on version SuSE 7.0 and i can't seem to get it to work. This is the default install. If i go http://localhost/cgi-bin/test.pl it will run. If i go http://localhost/cgi-bin/test.cgi it comes back as not found. If i go http://localhost/test.cgi it comes back as permisson denied. Why can't i get this cgi-bin to work with cgi scripts? I take it that there is something that needs to be changed in the httpd.conf file. This is from the httpd.conf file ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/usr/local/httpd/cgi-bin/" <Directory "/usr/local/httpd/cgi-bin"> AllowOverride None Options None Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> *--------------------------------* | Chris Large clarge(a)macn.bc.ca | | http://gone for now | *--------------------------------*
