Dualhead console?
by Jon Clausen 10 May '01

10 May '01

Hello all For some time now, I've been enjoying KDE 2.1 on a dualhead setup. I like it very much, to have documentation on one screen, and what I'm working on, on the other. Now, increasingly, I find that when I'm doing stuff in the console, my eyes go looking for stuff on the second monitor... What I'm thinking is to have tty1/tty3 on one monitor, and tty2/tty4 on the other...(or something)... Switching between tty1 and tty2 shifts the 'keyboard focus' between the two screens. Switching to tty3 (or tty4) shifts the tty1/2-pair out, and tty3/4 in... So I wonder: Is this doable? Has anyone done it? (Where) Is there any documentation/pointers/recommended reading? System is 7.1 (2.2.18), two different Matrox cards... Regards Jon Clausen

SuSE Books
by Chris Herrnberger 10 May '01

10 May '01

Picked up "The SuSE LInux Server" book today and it well worth the 75 CDN that I had to shell out for it. Books are so darn expensive here and no real reason why. That aside, this is an excellent read, and my hat is off to the authors and SuSE. So the question to SuSE staffers is will there be more in this series (in english) as this one will soon be exhausted, and if so when. Whats nice about this material is that while its general and extends or builds on the SuSE manual the meat is clear and precise. No wasted time on this read. A more advanced text will hopefully follow soon. Best and continued success Chris

How important is it to not user gcc2.95.2 for kernel 2.4?
by Just Another SuSE User 10 May '01

10 May '01

The docs for kernel-2.4.4 say to not use 2.95.2 but use 2.91.66 instead? If I must use the older compiler, can I install this along side 2.95.2 and if so, how do I build using it instead? Thanks, CC

wwwoffle cannot connect to URL
by Torsten Nielsen 10 May '01

10 May '01

I've previously used wwwoffle on a SuSE system, and I like it a lot, now with a new computer a new installation of SuSE 7.1 I'm having problems. The daemon (wwwoffled) is running, and I can turn wwwoffle on- and offline. When offline I can request pages and run the interactive config script. The problem is when I'm trying to fetch the requested pages or use wwwoffle as a proxie in konqueror or netscape (any browser) - I immediately get the response, that it can't connect to whatever URL using port 80 (standard). Browser with direct connection works with no problems. I've tried to increase timeout values, but they are many seconds anyway, and wwwoffle gives up in less than one sec. I'm using kernel 2.4 that came with SuSE 7.1 (if that's at all relevant). Are there anyone using this great package? Please help! Torsten Nielsen

Processes won't die
by Charles Marcus 10 May '01

Has anyone had any major problems with processes that won't die under LTSP? I've got one user who can no longer run Mozilla (0.8.1) or StarOffice (5.2), and has some processes that won't die (tried killall mozilla, and kill -9 PID).. thanks Charles

Compilation Error Solved
by Maurizio Firmani 10 May '01

10 May '01

Hi all, I found that the function RTLD_NEXT is defined in /usr/include/dlfcn.h e /usr/include/bits/dlfcn.h. Those header files in the package glibc-devel (SuSE 7.1) are different than those in package libc (provided in SuSE 7.0). The quickest way to solve my problem was to substitute the dlfcn.h in the glibc-devel with those provided in SuSE 7.0. I don't know if there will be any serious consequence but I could happily compile and use the programs I need. Maurizio Firmani

Adding the 2.4 kernel back in
by Gary Luther 10 May '01

10 May '01

Hello suse-linux-e, Two questions please; 1) I am getting a lot of experience in installing Suse Linux 7.1. I was having a lock up problem and did a reinstall. Seeing as how it was very late I neglected to select the 2.4 kernel. So, it doesn't show up on the TUX screen. I have been back through YAST2 screens and cannot find out how to go back and add the 2.4 kernel as an option. Before I reinstall for the umpteenth time, I thought I would ask the list. TIA 2) Is there a way to default the TUX screen? I am sure it is simple to go in and set defaults but (blame it on sleepless nights) I haven't found that secret gate, yet.

HSP56 MicroModem
by Ken Green 10 May '01

10 May '01

Hi: I just joined this list. I hope it can help me connect my modem to SuSE 7.1. My modem is a HSP56 MicroModem. I am at work now but my Linux system at home and there, I have a patch on a 3½" floppy disk, entitled "HSP56-Linux-1.gz.tar" (as I can recall somewhat). Being a brand new user of SuSE Linux, I have not used it much as I am still learning the system. Exactly what are the steps I need to take to install the patch so that I can connect to the world? Thank for taking the time to read this and offering suggestion. Ken Green
