GLX
by Tim Hanson 01 Apr '01

01 Apr '01

I get an error when I start X that puzzles me. it is: Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". I get the same error when I run some screensaver graphics. I don't really know much about it other than to reinstall xf86_glx (which didn't help). Does anyone else know about a fix for this? -- A dozen, a gross, and a score, Plus three times the square root of four, Divided by seven, Plus five times eleven, Equals nine squared plus zero, no more.

Help needed with CDRW and DVD
by Ralph De Witt 01 Apr '01

01 Apr '01

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all: I am trying to get my DVD and CDRW working. Both are ide type's on the second ide controller/channel. The DVD is master and the CDRW is slave or secondary. Both were detected by Yast2 during install, but it did not install ide-scsi emulation. I have followed the Configuration manual chapter 11 as best as I could (limited knowledge) and even talked to tech support. I have ide-scsi emulation set and working for both, but now the DVD does not read disks, and the CDRW is reading disks as cdrom but not writing disks, even though Koncd see the writer. I am not sure if I needed to set scsi emulation for the DVD? My main function for the DVD is install software cd's, and play music cd's and to retrive data from data cd's. My main needed for the CDRW is to make back up's and create data cd's from the hard drive. I think this is a linkage problem. Can some one please help. I am enculding the boot.local, fstab, mtab, liloconf, lsmod, and cdrecord -scanbus files: boot.local#! /bin/sh # # Copyright (c) 1996 SuSE GmbH Nuernberg, Germany.

RE: [SLE] Lots o hardware questions (cable access)
by Crazy Diamond 01 Apr '01

OK dude here's your answer to the cable internet connection question. I have a connection with AT&T and I believe the different providers work much the same way. Here's a link to SuSE's solution. This is what worked for me but I will explain it some more... http://sdb.suse.de/sdb/en/html/leah_all_dhcp_with_at_home.html First you need to set up your network card but Do Not activate it. Do this through yast1. This should be fairly easy. Now find out what your "computer name" should be. This is the name the cable access provider has you enter in the computer name field in network properities of windows. Find out what this name is and then try the following line: dhcpcd -h c113@blah eth0 where cll3 is your computer name blah is the workgroup and eth0 is your network card. Then test your connection by issuing a ping command to some server like this... ping www.suse.com if you get results your good to go. Check out that link above fore more info. Basically what you're doing is sending the dhcp server the correct name and workgroup. Otherwise it will send it your real computer name, the name you gave it when you installed linux. This won't work, you have to force the name in the dhcp command above. Write back if you have any more trouble. CD __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: [SLE] Fwd: Class action against Red Hat

haha. I am RedHat shareholder and I can just laugh about this. Notice how this suit is in the works as we are in an economic downturn but nobody ever brought this up when the shares for 6 months were on a rise (aug 99 to dec 00). because back then nobody felt poor.

Lots o hardware questions
by Kevin Breit 01 Apr '01

01 Apr '01

Greetings, I installed SuSE 7.1 on a friends system. He uses cable internet. After a bit of caressing, we get his NIC to work (ne io=0x300 irq=3). However, we can't get DHCP to work. dhcpcd times out while dhclient says that no offer was made by the ISP. Whats going on here?!?!?! Also, he's got an ESS1869F sound card. It's a dorky embedded chip. We can't get this working. Anyone have any tips on that? Also, how do we get the xconsole to stop popping up on X startup? Thanks a lot Kevin Breit

RE: [SLE] Updating to KDE2.1
by Crazy Diamond 01 Apr '01

01 Apr '01

I updated KDE2 to 2.1.1 just last week. I ran into problems because there were some directories in my /tmp directory that were "left over" from kde2. before you install or after, if you experience problems, check your /tmp dir and look for these 3 directories: kde-<username> ksocket-<username> mcop-<username> After I updated I received a "DCOP-server error" and could not run KDE2.1.1. I deleted those directories and everything was fine after that. I also removed my ~/.kde2 directory. I wanted all the default settings. I don't know if this is actually necessary but I fixed the splash screen hang during login. Good luck and let me know if you have any trouble.

Greetings, I've downloaded the KDE21 rpms from /pub/mirrors/kde/stable/2.1/distribution/rpm/SuSE/7.1-i386 and would like to update the installed version that came with SuSE7.1. Is there a proper proceedure/sequence to update the packages? My first attempt ended up in an unstable KDE that either locks up or crashes. Any pointers here is very much appreciated. Thanks a lot in adv.
