I wouldn't actually say the support staff "knows" linux. Times I've had to call, (which was only because I IpTabled myself out of the router -- idiot) the service people were friendly and sympathetic, but with NO experience of *nix. The fellows I talked to tried their best, and actually took notes from what I said I was trying out (ifconfig, route and friends), but actually told me that their boss was giving them dirty looks for trying to "support" one of those Linux people. Their manual, interestingly enough has sections on UNIX installations, which basically back out of it all by saying that typical *nix users are smarter about all this stuff, and should make it all come out fine by setting up their own flavor of DHCP. If you know of genuinely *nix-savvy tech support folks there, could you mention names? I'd ask for them by name at need, and send kudos-type emails to their managers commending them for their Linux expertise. Cheers.

ReiserFS + mirroring + ATA
by Chris.Smith＠raytheon.co.uk 03 Jan '02

03 Jan '02

Hi, I have two hard disks:- ata1 - master = IBM 30Gig ATA100 (/dev/hda) ata2 - slave = IBM 30Gig ATA100 (/dev/hdb) Any ideas how I can software mirror these and use ReiserFS as a disk format? SuSE has to be bootable off either of the disks *and* if one drive blows up, I need to be able to swap it out with another one and rebuild the mirror pretty quickish. I dont need to hot-swap - powering down is fine. Can someone give us an idea where to start please! Cheers, - Chris.

Hi, Last night i posted message asking on help to aviod my system shutdown by it self. Well put statement suggested in lilo.con in the appriate localtion suggested but jut know the system in question just power off again for no good reason. I am running SuSe 7.1 Kernel 2.4.13 Mantel RPM. 512 MB RAM 10 GB (ReiserFS / ext2 /boot) Matorx Millimum 2 MB (It's work machine ) D-Link 538 TX+ 10/100 MB What noticed this occurs when memory drop below 350 MB the system shutdown when i am going in to X/Gnome. What i find strange is i am running RH 7.1 + Kernel 2.4.13 Kernel.org with exact same MB/RAM/HD/NIC etc.. and all it well with it. I have had this problems since kernel 2.4.0 . I have checked RAM with memtest and it check out i have switched ram from RH 7.1 Box with this one done memory test as well it check out but still occurs. I have always love SuSe but seriously thinking of calling it quit's with this distro. I never any problems with other distro/kernels acting like this. Any ideas :) Alex :)

Burn bootable CDs
by Oliver Ob 05 Oct '01

05 Oct '01

Hi fellows. I am thinking of burning images of the below kind: 1) bootable both Linux and DOS 6 2) Linux should boot from CD into 16 MB HDD 3) Securing my installed Souzie for backup reasons, it should then work from CD (inside Ramdisk), if possible Now, please how can I get this done, what do I need? If detailed explanation is asked too much, a little friendly point into the right direction was enough.

no Java support?
by Doug McGarrett 08 Sep '01

08 Sep '01

I am informed by a website that I have a browser that doesn't support Java and so it will not go any further with whatever it might display. This happened in Netscape and Konqureor both. Is there a plug-in I should get and use, or some kind of modification of the kernel (brrr!) of what? TIA --doug

[SLE] Realplayer G2 and SuSE 6.3

Hi Has anyone got Realplayer G2 working with SuSE 6.3? If so, is it straight forward to install? I have got an alpha version of the generic binary for kernel 2.2. What install procedure did you use? Is it stable enough to use? Thanks Rich <HR> <UL> <LI>application/ms-tnef attachment: stored </UL> N§²æìržzÇ§ué[h²ë)îÅë§²æìržzË¬yÊ&ÚuØÚÊ&©Ý²Ç§ué[h²ë)îÅè^.±ç([(rØ^¶m§ÿðÃ.±ç(ô®Š+·ðèïÅ

Playing DVD's on TV
by Guy Van Sanden 01 Aug '01

01 Aug '01

Hello I got my DVD player going on Linux! But now, I've bought the cables, hooked it up to the television... and want to play movies there, but it's not working. I've followed the instructions in the TV_OUT file from nvidia, but it doesn't seem to work. The picture on TV changes, and the colors to as I change something on my X server, but nothing can be seen (not even blurry). I tried it on windows, and there it seems to work. I think it might be something with my refresh rate ... Has anyone gotten this to work? My config AMD Athlon with SuSE 7.1, kernel 2.4.2, XFree 4 (from distro), nvidia drivers. Used resolution for DVD's 640x480 and 800x600 Asus V7100 geforce2MX COMBO AGP video-card with video-out. Connected to the VCR using a SCART cable which is connected to TV-set via antenna-cable (my TV is about 20 years old, without SCART offcourse :-( ) Thanks for any help! Kind regards Guy

[SLE] [SHELL] LS and $EDITOR *2nd try
by Oliver Ob 23 Jul '01

23 Jul '01

Ok, I finally have some time to work on my Linux system: 1) I added export EDITOR=joe to /etc/profile.local, but when I enter edit at the shell, I happen to enter vi again. Solution? And how can I give options to joe when starting via this alias? is the joerc the correct way or have I to change the whole alias? 2) I set some aliases like alias $='ls -alX', and now I am experiencing that I do not get what I wanted. I would like the appearance of the LS output to be like with doscmd=/o:gen, that is directories sorted in a-z order FIRST, then the a-z sorted FILES. Any thoughts? -- *º¤., ¸¸,.¤º*¨¨¨*¤Oliver@home*º¤., ¸¸,.¤º*¨¨*¤
