RE: [SLE] gimp-1.2 and xsane
by LOURO Auguste 04 Apr '01

04 Apr '01

Hi, I have just installed 7.1Pro and was very surprise by the easy way it does. Almost everything work well (Athlon 750, CDR yamaha 6416, Geforce2, 128Mo, 40Go UDMA HD). I have just a question : I use to work with Slackware for several years before, So i use to modify config files with vi ....... . With Suse i try to do so, it works well too. But it seems that when i run YAST or YAST2 it starts suse.config and the files go to the default value (before i change them with vi). Is it possible to disable updating some config file in suse.config to let the user edit them as he want. Thank's for help. PS: Very good job from SUSE !!!!

Re: [SLE] Still Desperate: KDE 2.1.1 Won't Work
by Paul C.Leopardi 04 Apr '01

Tim, Ralph, I can confirm all that you have said. I tried using qt-experimental with KDE 2.01 and got the kicker crash. Symptom is that the panel does not appear on boot. I have a log of XFree86 startup if you are interested. It contains lots of bleating about DCOP. So then I downloaded XFree86 4.0.3 and KDE 2.1.1 and installed qt-experimental version 2.3.0. Sure enough, same kicker crash. [See also http://dot.kde.org/985720278/985723293/985851880/985906834/986035842/ and http://dot.kde.org/985720278/985771030/985857224/ ] BUT I had not followed Nadeen Hasan's instructions. So then I followed them and made sure I had a working set of TrueType fonts, AND I turned on anti-aliasing by using Nadeen's method of adding the following line to /etc/profile.local export QT_XFT=true [See http://www.nadmm.com/show.php?story=articles/aafonts-HOWTO.inc ] So THEN instead of having kicker crash, every time I logged in I just got a black screen and was returned back to kdm. Finally, I deleted /etc/profile.local. So now I have TrueType fonts but NO anti-aliasing. I really suspect there is something wrong with the combination of qt-experimental version 2.3.0 and XFree86 4.0.X RENDER extension, possibly having to do with my setup. I am using ATI R128 with DRI and v4l. I can send you a copy of my XF86Config file if you are interested. So I really should report this to feedback(a)suse.de - it looks like there is enough evidence. Best regards

No mouse pointer while running KDE
by Gérard GUILLAUME 04 Apr '01

04 Apr '01

Hi, I've just installed Suse 7.1 . Eveything is fine except that I can't see the mouse pointer under KDE. In text mode with GPM, it's ok. Has anyone encounter that problem ? I'm using an USB mouse which has been nicely detected. My box includes : EPOX 8KTA3+ motherboard -Athlon 800 Mhz -OEM Nvidia GE Force graphic card -Adaptec 2904 SCSI with cdrom and cdburner Someone has told me about problems related to GE-Force card, but I've Win98 installed on the same box and no problem. Thanks for any help -------------------------------------------- Gérard Guillaume gerard.guillaume(a)atosorigin.com http://www.atosorigin.com --------------------------------------------

kernel 2.4.3
by Stefano Papini 04 Apr '01

04 Apr '01

Hi all, I'm trying to refresh my linux box with glibc2.2 and latest kernel breath. I've got a couple of troubles... 1) any pb. with SCSI uw2940 and kernel 2.4.3?? I got one msg warning about SCSI timeouts endless repeating while booting (I boot in text mode). This curiously happened after cooking my 2.4.3 with the same recipe used for 2.4.1 and 2.4.2 (but for reiserFS as a module). 2) I've got a pb. after installing glibc 2.2.: - on locale. My ENV variables are correctly set, my /usr/share/locale/xxx do exist, but perl, when starting, complains about missing locale (and defaults to C, or POSIX)... - trying to launch wine and got a missing "stdscr" from libwine.so.1 Any idea??? TIA, Stefano

But SuSE will probably not be the most comfortable distribution for such a restricted environment. It's a hard distribution to keep "small". Among the major distros, Slackware or Debian might be the easiest to use, given the hardware limitations. There exists a how-to that addresses your situation: the 4 MB-Laptop How-to. (Works for desktop machines too). See: http://www.linux.org/docs/ldp/howto/4mb-Laptops.html It discusses most of the installation and booting issues you're going to run into with only 4MB.

Re: [SLE] No mouse pointer while running KDE
by John Griffin 04 Apr '01

Yes, We are experiencing the same thing with our PS/2 mouse. As a matter of fact using sax2 everything (mouse included) are properly configured and working until the 'test' button in sax2 is pressed. We get mouse affected changes on the test screen (by moving the mouse around), we just can't see the pointer. We have changed the physical mouse, and manually modified the /etc/X11/XF86Config to use /dev/psaux instead of the link /dev/mouse. This mouse works fine in gpm, during all phases of sax2 (except for the test screen). This hardware (mouse included) worked fine in 6.4 and 7.0 versions of SuSE. cheers, jpg > Hi, > I've just installed Suse 7.1 . > Eveything is fine except that I can't see the mouse pointer under KDE.

Hi everyone, Is there anyone being able to run Lyx that comes with Suse 7.1.
