Ah-ha! Yes, it had died. I thought it might be syslogd had stopped, but I didn't have a clue how to check it and what to do!

A quick check is ``rcsyslog status'' If it's dead, just restart it with ``rcsyslog start'' You may also have run out of space in /var filesystem. df will show you the available space. -Kastus > > Thanks, > > > > Andrew -- 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

uh oh....XFree4.0.2...what and how
by mhf 12 Jan '01

12 Jan '01

Issue: I cannot execute Xwindow system due to the fact that I am using an ATI Radeon graphics card with XFree86 4.0 on SuSE 7.0. I need to download and install XFree 4.0.2. I have gone to http://suse.com/en/support/xsuse/index.html#xfree86402 and have read the release notes and the readme document. Inquiry: 1. I can't figure out which i386 files I need to download to properly install and run 4.0.2. (The readme doc says I can find the files in "glibc 2.1.3" but I don't see such a folder.) 2. My linux computer is not connected to the internet. Once I download the necessary files to my windows machine, how do I transfer the files to my linux computer and place them in the proper folder or directory in linux. What is the proper directory in which to place the files. 3. Once the files are placed in the right folder or directory, can I simply run xf86cfg or xf86config, and 4.0.2 will install itself, replacing my current 4.0 This is embarassing; I feel like a first-grader trying to read Noam Chomsky. All guidance greatly appreciated. Mike Flug michael.flug(a)snet.net

linux-2.4.0.SuSE-7: Yast2 won't execute.
by Niels Stenhoj 12 Jan '01

Having failed to make the above kernel recognize my ISDN connection, I wanted to see how things would look from the perspective of Yast2. Apart from the password prompt nothing happened. Does anybody know why?

NAT
by Maurizio Firmani 12 Jan '01

12 Jan '01

Hi all, I am using SuSE7.0 and I need to set up a NAT server (static address translation). It looks like the 2.2.16 kernel support NAT (Networking Options > IP: advanced router > IP: fast network address translation). The question is simple, how to use this feature once I compiled it in the kernel. Which command is then available? TIA Maurizio

Shut-off the Computer
by Neville Cobb 12 Jan '01

12 Jan '01

Why doesn't SuSE 7.0 shut off the computer after I log out. Is there something I have to do to get this working. It worked OK with md7.0 so I guess my motherboard is quite capable. Nev
