Intellimouse in 7.1
by EagleIce 30 Mar '01

30 Mar '01

Hi SuSE'rs I've installed the 7.1 a few days ago on a Gateway 466 computer and it doesn't auto-detect my MS Intellimouse (IMPS/2 with wheel), what's even worse is that none of the traditional methods to configure the mouse work either. This is what /etc/X11/XF86Config shows now: Identifier "Mouse1" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "IntelliMouse" Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" No ZAxisMapping 4 5 as you can see. Iwonder if someone has managed to configure this properly and how. Can't find anything on the support sites or the e-mail lists on this. Cheers, ei -- @~~ EagleIce ~ gnu4u(a)linux.nu ~~@ @~~ Running GNU/Linux & KDE ~~@

k_smp_24 upgrade and kernel panic
by Mark Daglish 30 Mar '01

30 Mar '01

Hi, I have just tried to upgrade my kernel on SuSE 7.1 using the kernel rpms from the ftp.suse.com site. I used yast1 to install the k_smp_24-2.4.2-5.i386.rpm. I then ran lilo and rebooted. I selected Linux_24 from the lilo menu. The system then refused to boot with a kernel panic unable to mount root filesystem error. I suspect that this is because / is on a SCSI drive and I had this trouble once before when I forgot to include the initrd file in the lilo.conf. However, this time the lilo.conf includes initrd=/boot/initrd_24 and /boot is on /dev/hda1. I did notice that the rpm did not contain an initrd_24 and that the old one from the initial install of SuSE 7.1 must be what is in /boot. How can I get round this problem? Many thanks for any help. Mark

FTP Install.
by FlavusSnow＠aol.com 30 Mar '01

30 Mar '01

Instead of the FTP install, is there a way to burn all the files necessary for an install onto a CD(s)? The problem is that I have a slow connection, and don't want to bog down my phone line for hours, but my brother has a very fast connection and a CD burner. Is it possible for him to burn me an installation CD (that is, not the Live-Eval version)?

SuSE 7.1 and SCSI trouble
by john.janmaat＠acadiau.ca 30 Mar '01

30 Mar '01

Hello, I am trying to install 7.1 professional on a new computer. This machine only has SCSI drives. The kernel cannot see the drives on install, which clearly means I cannot get any further. I tried using the boot disk for 6.4 that is available from the support data base, but it does not do the trick. Suggestions? John.

RE: [SLE] RE: DCOP Server Error (resolved?)
by Cleary_Mike＠emc.com 30 Mar '01

30 Mar '01

Well, I moved my .kde2 directory and renamed the three directories in /tmp and tried the upgrade from 2.1.0 to 2.1.0-1x (where x is arious numbers from 0 to 7, depending on the package) and got the dcopserver error again. I was kinda surprised to see it this time. But I figured out what my problem was... When I first downloaded the 2.1.0-1x files, I had a bad download on kdelibs and kdegames - Yast could not read those two rpms. So I downloaded them again - but there were no version numbers on the "new" downloaded rpms. Using kpackage, I checked the version of the "new" kdelibs rpm last night, and found that it was 2.1.1. So I re-installed the older kdelibs version 2.1.0-0x, and the dcopserver error disappeared! I have 2.1.1 downloaded now, so I guess I'll see what happens when I upgrade yet again...:) Mike ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cleary_Mike(a)emc.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- "We are born wet, naked and hungry......then things get worse." -----Original Message----- From: Crazy Diamond [mailto:crazydiamond21@yahoo.com] Sent: Thursday, March 29, 2001 10:23 AM To: Cleary_Mike(a)emc.com Cc: suse-linux-e(a)suse.com Subject: RE: [SLE] RE: DCOP Server Error (resolved?) Mike, Just to make sure, you might also want to mv your .kde2 directory in your home directory after upgrading to kde2.1.1. And yeah, definitely mv those three kde directories in your /tmp directory to something else. I think they were, ksocket-<username> mcop-<username> kde-<username> KDE2 will create new ones. Let us know how it goes...

Win TV Primio - Problems
by António Cardoso 30 Mar '01

30 Mar '01

Hi! First of all sorry my English. I had configured properly for defect in SuSE 7.0 Professional the TV card (Win TV Primio FM), with the kernel 2.2.16 and with XFree86 3.3.6. I never had any problem in the visualization of the tv programs, being she detected automatically, without having for that to move in the configurations of the kernel. Now that I accomplished the update of the totality of the necessary programs for SuSE 7.1 Professional (kernel 2.2.18 3 XFree86 4.0.2), I left of he/she can see the tv programs in Linux. I didn't change none of the parameters, I only made the upgrade. Everything now meets to right to work, less the tv card. It used the application kwintv to see the tv programs. Will it be that anybody can help myself to solve this problem? Best regards, AC
