I have never had any trouble with a dialup connection using kppp, but I cannot make kinternet work. Below is a snippet of the kinternet log, as well as certain tab setting in the kppp setup. I would greatly appreciate it if someone more knowlegable than myself could give me some pointers to kinternet setup. Thanks ahead.

Re: [SLE] 7.1 windows client printing
by Purple Shirt 03 Apr '01

Damn why do I always have to answer my own questions? =) Well I suspected it and it was probably true. I uninstalled SuSE's lprng.rpm because I felt it was compiled for 2.2.18 and I was using 2.4.2. I pulled down the source from astart.com and did a ./configure --disable-gdbm make make install then moved my printcap to /usr/local/etc adjusted the file paths in /etc/smb.conf and /etc/smb.conf.nobody to /usr/local/ instead of /usr and printing runs without a hickup. Anybody who has problem with printing under 2.4.2 via Samba might want to try to compile from source to fix problems. It certainely worked for me. mk >From: "Purple Shirt" <purpleshirt(a)hotmail.com> >To: suse-linux-e(a)suse.com >Subject: [SLE] 7.1 windows client printing >Date: Mon, 02 Apr 2001 13:34:59 > >Hello, > >I just moved from SuSE 7.0 to SuSE 7.1 by reinstalling. > >I use HP 2100TN JetDirect printer.

suse rpms vs. other rpms

I am new to suse. Is there any significant difference between rpms built specifically for suse and those built for others, e.g. redhat?

How can our software become part of SuSe destribution?
by Pavlo Baron (SHI) 03 Apr '01

03 Apr '01

hi, we are now migrating our information management system (SHI InfoPilot) to SuSe and would make it part of the SuSe destribution. Is there a downloadable guide or an online documentation describing such a process? Is there possibly someone we can contact to discuss the details of such action? thanks Pavlo Baron [mailto:Pavlo.Baron@shi-gmbh.com]

Upgrading Samba, Location of Binaries
by dschuster＠horizoncasino.com 03 Apr '01

03 Apr '01

I feel I've caused this trouble for myself, and now I need some help to fix it. I decided to upgrade to Samba 2.0.7. I couldn't find the RPM for SuSE except for 2.0.5a. So I thought, I'll just grab the source and compile. The compile and install went well. The problem is now SuSE is running the wrong "smbd". The init.d script is looking for the binaries in /user/sbin and the install put them under /usr/local/samba/bin. I figure the solution is one of two ways: 1) edit the init.d/smb script to find the new binaries, or 2) put symlinks for the new binaries into the location where SuSE likes it. Which way is most accepted? Or, is there something else I should be doing that I can't comprehend right now? All help is appreciated. ~Dale ________________________________ Dale Schuster MIS Manager Lake Tahoe Horizon Casino Resort dschuster(a)horizoncasino.com

Problem with PPP on SuSE 7
by Kevin Breit 02 Apr '01

02 Apr '01

Hi, I have a friend who gave me this message: I have a problem with kinternet under Suse Linux 7.0. It will connect under my normal login, or under my root login, but not under a guest login that I created. As far as I know the guest login has priviledges equivalent to the normal login. It brings up a message saying the modem is busy or unable to respond. Anyone know the solution? Any ideas? Thanks Kevin Breit

by Gottfried F. Zojer 02 Apr '01

02 Apr '01

Hi, I mounted a new partition on a second harddisk and since that time I have troubles in my bash concerning the keyboard concerning the wrong characters.I use a german keybord but now the setting is like from a us-keybord.Maybe somebody can help and tell me in what .conf file the keyboard setting is stored maybe I moved this file to the new partition when moving datas from the old to the new harddisk. Gottfried P.S. When I start the X-Server and a xterm window everything is normal.

OT(Maybe):Netscape(Python-Script)
by Gottfried F. Zojer 02 Apr '01

02 Apr '01

Hello, Well maybe OT for this list but I hope nevertheless for a feedback. I installed the new Netscape 6.0 on my SUSE 7.0 box and now I have problems concerning a message -too many arguments when i start Netscape in a bash.So does anybody know how it is possible to use Netscape 6.0 and Netscape 4.7 on the same machine. 4.7 should run as localhost and 6.0 should run only as browser for the web and as bookmarker for pdf -files. So any feedback welcomed also concerning startup scripts. 1) 4.7 should start when I login as user automatically and should load also apache inclusive all installed engines like (Tomcat,Jakarta) in the same way like the default enhydra-installation. 2)6.0 should work as dialer when I login as user it should start and dial to the ISP and disconnect when finished with pop based emails and the acrobat plugin should be active so that I read at the same time docs. Any feedback welcomed if scripts in this form exist hopefully also in Python or embeddable in python. Gottfried
