Creative WebCam Go Plus
by Martin Mielke 04 Jan '01

04 Jan '01

Dear all, I recently got a "Creative Webcam Go Plus" and want to use it under SuSE 6.4 (Kernel 2.2.14). On the Creative's website I only can find info/drivers for both Windoze and MacOS. Has anyone among you experienced such an installation under Linux? Any hints will be very welcomed! Thanks a lot in advance and best regards, Martin

Several others have reported that they can still get to this web site. I just asked my wife at her company to try it and she had no trouble. My brother in California had no trouble either. So I guess it isn't a SuSE problem but where does one go to resolve this kind of problem. It is certainly not the fault my ISP since others are reporting this.

It won't work through a proxy, will it? I tried trace route here and after going through a few nodes here, it just shows "timeout" many times and then repeats the node from the beginning. Any more ideas? Damon Register

I can see maybe it being the KDE team in reference to the KDE specific packages, but what about packages like audiofile which used to be called audiofil. -- S.Toms - tomas(a)primenet.com - www.primenet.com/~tomas SuSE Linux v7.0+ - Kernel 2.2.17 The rule on staying alive as a forcaster is to give 'em a number or give 'em a date, but never give 'em both at once. -- Jane Bryant Quinn

But Bynari's Tradeclient runs a close second and uses 1/3 the RAM of Pronto. Sylpheed would probably be my fav. if it could multi-thread.

Apparant missing entries in firewall log
by Stuart Barbee 04 Jan '01

04 Jan '01

Folks, Below is a portion of the firewall log for a firewall machine I set up a few weeks ago. In general it runs SuSE 6.4 w/ all updates from SuSE's site (security and plain upgrades) as of 12-26-2000. I also ran harden_suse (hardsuse-2.6-2) to secure the permissions, daemons, login processes, etc. The machine runs kernel 2.2.16, w/ ipchains and masquerades a local network connection to the internet over cable modem. What I would like to find out is if anyone has seen log entries that appear to have been deleted. These are 4 separate lines, each of which should end w/ a (#35) or similar number for the rule that caused the log entry. As you can see lines 2 (containing only a period) and 3 are incomplete. I have never delt with such issues before and wanted to know if any one else has experienced similar incidents. More to the point, which possibility does this indicate: 1) Some strange (and hopefully known) behavior of the kernel logger, or ... 2) Someone is silently hacking away at my machine and sloppily deleting log entries trying to cover their trail. Any feedback is welcome, thanks.

Alt Gr not working
by fx Fraipont 04 Jan '01

04 Jan '01

My Alt Gr key does not seem to be working anymore. Problem is I can't say when it stopped working exactly. I have been fiddling quite a bit with my configuration after upgrading my motherboard, processor, memory and video card. Having problems configuring my ATI Expert 98, I installed Xfree 4.02 from the SuSe FTP site, and later went back to the original SuSe 7 Xfree 4. That might have done it. I am running SuSe 7 with kde 2.01. The problem appears with all window managers. The key works fine in console mode, so my keyboard definition (pc105 - be) is fine. Can anyone offer a suggestion? Thanks Fx Fraipont -- ______________________ Courtesy of SuSE Linux Kernel 2.2.18 (who Kares?)
