Fw: [SLE] USB Zip Drive->change|format
by Webillo Disperso 05 Oct '01

05 Oct '01

Hi. Perhaps there is a more convincing general reason, but I've seen the same using DOS formatted zips on my IDE Zip. I changed the zip, or DOS formatted it again, and it was recognized. ----- Mensaje original ----- De: "Mark Annandale" <mark(a)kenge.com> Para: <suse-linux-e(a)suse.com> Enviado: viernes, 05 de octubre de 2001 10:20 Asunto: [SLE] USB Zip Drive : Hi Guys : : While 7.2 is loading it appears to enable the usbmngr (?) and places an icon : on mydesktop for the zip drive.

RE: [SLE] Comments Please? New Linux Site.
by Jostein Berntsen 05 Oct '01

05 Oct '01

Hi, It looks nice and it seems that both functionality and design has been taken care of. A couple of things could be nice to have there: - It should be a page with About info with information on you and the missions for the site as well as the actions that will occur there. Important is to emphasize interactivity, news and community features if it exist. There are many Linux sites on the web, does this have an unique mission/vision? Is it only migration from Win or is it more? - Is it a living or a static site? If the first, put words like news, updated, products and other on the front page. - Many users comes to sites looking for information and news, others come for tutorials, reviews and applications. What can this site give to the user? Just some thoughts, hope it might be helpful as input.

FTP update of kernels...
by Jonathan Paul Cowherd 04 Oct '01

04 Oct '01

Hello SuSErs, I'm running SuSE 7.1 pro currently and I am looking to see if they have new kernel rpms available post 2.4.0 off their ftp-site. I feel like I could yank rpms from the 7.2 or 7.3 directory, but I don't know how kosher it would be, etc... Any recommendations are appreciated. Jonathan

Star Office & PostScript file
by Tracer Bullet 04 Oct '01

04 Oct '01

Hello all, Can someone clue me in on the procedure to follow in getting a document printed as a postscript file to disk with Star Office. As I don't have a postscript printer, I am using the generic driver, but I don't see anything that indicates printing or exporting a file to disk as a postscript file? Thanks in advance for suggestions end of line Tracer -- ---KMail 1.3.1--- SuSE Linux v7.2--- Registered Linux User #225206 /tracerb(a)sprintmail.com/ *Magic Page Products* *Team Amiga* http://home.sprintmail.com/~tracerb

X 4.1 memory leak
by Anders Johansson 04 Oct '01

04 Oct '01

I don't know if this is the proper forum for it, because I don't know how much SuSE changes the version of X they put up for download, but here goes: I have found what I think is a tremendous memory leak in X 4.1, and I'm wondering if others see what I'm seeing. I'm running 4.1.0-48 from the suse ftp site. I have top running, and I'm doing 'free' every couple of seconds, and every time I'm doing it, another couple of bytes are gone, but the real treat is when I switch to another desktop. When I come back, X has grown another couple of percentage points in memory usage, according to top and ps. This memory is never returned. It keeps growing until it hits the top, then it starts swapping, until finally the system is completely unusable, and I have to kill X. As I write this I have just restarted X. it started at about 30% memory usage, now it's at 64.9. Soon I'll have to restart again. Is anyone else seeing anything remotely like this? Anders

Burn bootable CDs
by Oliver Ob 04 Oct '01

04 Oct '01

Hi fellows. I am thinking of burning images of the below kind: 1) bootable both Linux and DOS 6 2) Linux should boot from CD into 16 MB HDD 3) Securing my installed Souzie for backup reasons, it should then work from CD (inside Ramdisk), if possible Now, please how can I get this done, what do I need? If detailed explanation is asked too much, a little friendly point into the right direction was enough.

Failed re-install
by Fletcher, Joe 04 Oct '01

04 Oct '01

Hi, I've got this Proliant 3000. I installed SuSE 7.0 on it. It worked. Then, because of some work with DB2 I "upgraded" to 7.2. Still worked. Now, for reasons connected with Oracle I'm attempting to re-install 7.0. I load the CD, format the disks, pick the options I want installed, these load and I reboot. On restart the box hangs with a balck screen reading LI. I'm assuming the boot files are corrupted. Anyone know why this might be and how I fix the problem.
