RE: [Fwd: Re: [SLE] LPT Scanner and SCSI emulation]
by Milnes Terry SSgt 52 LG/LGOP 03 Dec '01

It depends on the SCSI chip inside the scanner. I have a scanport SQ300 w/ a OnSpec 90c26 SCSI chip inside. I can get the scanner to work in Kooka as a Microtek/Mustek? Slimscan only in prescan mode. Every time I do a normal scan it just spits out a black image. For now I can use the prescan image as Kooka saves it as a image. However, later I am going to sell this scanner and get me a nice Epson Perfection SCSI model. Hope this helps.

Help with snort ifconfig on reboot
by Wayne Ringling 03 Dec '01

03 Dec '01

I have a suse 7.3 box running snort in stealth mode (no ip address). Right now I have to bring up ifconfig eth1 up manually because the suse scripts won't start an interface without an ip (on one hand I agree). But I want to start eth1 without an ip, so I can run in stealth mode (I also like it that way so I can preserve my public ip's). Can I simply go into the network script and add that command into the script right after it brings up the rest of the interfaces? BTW: I also made the receive only ethernet cable. (Yep, I'm crazy but at least I can say without a doubt that my snort box can't send back any info that it's even there.) Wayne

Hi all, I have currently an installation of Suse 7.1 which is running properly. I want to update to 7.3, but I want to save money. So: is it possible to upgrade my distro via ftp? There is something I should be aware of? What problem have you had? Praise

Nvidia drivers from YOU are buggy?
by David Kanter 02 Dec '01

02 Dec '01

I just ran YOU on a fresh 7.3 install and updated the nvidia drivers. Now there's a color-changing box on my desktop that won't go away! When I ran sax2 to select the drivers and answered "yes" to using nvidia's 3d acceleration, that's when the box appeared. Any ideas on what to do?

Re: [SLE] localhost:80 Error - This host is not configured as server for the SuSE help system
by andy 02 Dec '01

02 Dec '01

Don't use the help system so I'm not sure about the first but webmin uses it's own server, miniserv, not apache, whatever, and, unless the SuSE help system uses the same, (which is very unlikely), I doubt that the 2 issues are related.

Re: [SLE] Hylafax problem
by andy 02 Dec '01

02 Dec '01

Hi, Looks like the server isn't running, doesn't it. To ask the obvious question? have you done all the stuff in the /usr/share/doc/packages/hylafax/README.SuSE file including uncommenting the /etc/inittab 'respawn' entry and set START_HYLAFAX TO 'YES'? Having said that, I think the hylayfax server can start even without a modem added, although it won't be able to send/receive faxes obviously - it just accepts connections on port 4559 but it doesn't look like your getting that far.
