Hi, I used "mirror" to get the whole tree using anonymous FTP. You might be getting login denied because the FTP server's user login limit had reached. I kept retrying till mirror could log in :) I suggest you do the same. Be patient, a lot of people are hitting the box to get 7.1. SuSE guys even increased the login limit to 600 from 500 this afternoon. Cheers, -- Nadeem Hasan nhasan(a)nadmm.com http://www.nadmm.com/ "Fred A.

Re: [SLE] interesting idea

couldn't you also just run dynamic ip software to keep track of the dynamic ips of site 1 and 2 and therefore always know their ip. this software could be housed on site 3. >From: Raymond Fung <raymondf(a)valentia.com.hk> >To: suse-linux-e <suse-linux-e(a)suse.com> >Subject: [SLE] interesting idea >Date: Thu, 22 Mar 2001 05:32:02 +0800 > >Dear all, > >I have an interesting idea here, but don't know if it is feasible to >implement >nor what kind of tools are needed to implement so.

interesting idea
by Raymond Fung 21 Mar '01

21 Mar '01

Dear all, I have an interesting idea here, but don't know if it is feasible to implement nor what kind of tools are needed to implement so. The situation is as follow : There are 3 physically disjointed sites, all are LAN of computers. Two of the sites (namely site 1 and site 2) connects to the Internet through some masquerading / NAT device using dial-up connections (thus using dynamic IP and private IPs), while the third site (site 3) has fixed IP address. Now, computers in site 1 wants to telnet into computers in site 2. As both sites doesn't have fixed IP, can I make use of site 3 such that some software is run on a host at site 3 waiting for connection from computers from site 1 and 2. After the two connection are made, something like a VPN can be established through this site 3 host to link site 1 and 2 together ? It would be great if I can do whatever service available (such as ftp, telnet etc.) between site 1 and site 2. This can be represented as the diagram below : +------------------+ | site 3 host with | | fixed IP | | | | +--+ +--+ | | | ?| <-->|? | | | +--+ +--+ | | | | | +------------------+ | | | | +--------------+ | | +--------------+ | site 1 host | | | | site 2 host | | with dynamic | +------+ | | +------+ | with dynamic | | IP address | --->| MASQ |------+ +----| MASQ | <---| IP address | | | |Device| |Device| | | +--------------+ +------+ +------+ +--------------+ Assumes that all computers are Linux based, can this be made possible ? What tools do I need to use ? Regards, Raymond Fung.

Adding NIC, low on IRQ
by tleck＠mindspring.com 21 Mar '01

21 Mar '01

Hello, I would like to add a Linksys NIC to my computer but I'm afraid I may be low on IRQs. /proc/interrupts shows that I have IRQ 3,5,and 9 free. As far as I remember, IRQ 10 is used by video (AGP) IRQ 11 is used by scsi (ISA) IRQ 12 is used by bttv IRQ 14&15 are ide0 and ide1 Cannot remember IRQ 13. If I install the NIC (which will be a PIC card) will it work ie find an open IRQ. Thanks for any advice. Terry Eck

Sound/midi question
by Jon Clausen 21 Mar '01

21 Mar '01

Hello all Where to look for a _really_ basic explanation of how sound/midi (yes I know they're two distinctly different thingies) work with Linux? What I'm after is something that explains how they connect to the system, and how they're controlled... I want to set up some multitracking midi/audio SW (maybe Jazz is what I'm looking for) and as such I would like to *really* understand how everything fits together. Then, along the way, I might understand why my CD-rom seems to play through some audio-channel on the mixer instead of through the CD-input... (yes it's plugged in) Any suggestions? Jon

3d games and ati all in wonder 128
by John Grant 21 Mar '01

21 Mar '01

Anyone have hardware 3d working on an ATI All-in-Wonder 128 card under SuSE 7.1? I did a test install (from scratch to a new drive) of the 2.4 kernel and XFree 4.0.2. but 3d doesn't seem to be working for either Heavy Gear II or Q3 (the only 2 3d games I have), even though I get messages to the effect that DRI is loaded when X starts up. What else could I check? I just installed everything today so I'm still a bit clueless about the new X setup, and this is my first experience with 2.4 as well. I did have both of these games working on the same hardware w/a 2.2 kernel and Xi's X server though, and I read through the "DRI User Guide". ( http://www.xfree86.org/4.0.1/DRI.html ) From what I can tell, everything seems ok cwexcepth that when I try to run /usr/bin/gears it segfaults. 2d support seems fine. FWIW, HG2 lets me start the game, but as soon as I start a mission it bombs out with a message saying, "Fatal signal: Segmentation Fault (SDL Parachute Deployed)". Q3 also gives me a segfault: [...] ----- R_Init ----- ...loading libGL.so: Initializing OpenGL display ...setting mode 3: 640 480 Using XFree86-VidModeExtension Version 2.0 XFree86-VidModeExtension Activated at 640x480 Received signal 11, exiting... .. so there's definitely a pattern here; I'm just not sure what to make of it. (libGL problem maybe? There is a /usr/lib/libGL.so from the xf86glxd.rpm there. Is that the right one?) Anyway, I'll go through it again tomorrow when I'm more alert - it was a long day even before I started installing 7.1. (just couldn't wait though! :) In the meantime, any clues are definitely appreciated. TIA, -John
