Using True Type fonts
by Luis Pablo Gasparotto 01 Aug '01

01 Aug '01

Hi all, Is there some way to use True Type Fonts under Linux? How to configure it? I have tried that unsuccessfully using KFontinst and selecting a font path in Sax2.

SuSE 7.2 and Opera
by Brian Galbraith 01 Aug '01

01 Aug '01

Hi Folks Just installed 7.2 yesterday....so I am still trying to fine tune it. I have been having a problem with Opera and 7.2. The browser fires up OK....but after a few minutes use...the application freezes completely and has to be killed to close down. I have tried the rpm and tar ball downloads in both static and dynamic flavours...to no avail. Everything worked fine under 7.1. Has anyone had similar problems? Any remedy?

Fine tuning wvdial ?
by Lourens Steenkamp 01 Aug '01

01 Aug '01

Hello Everyone, I am, for the first time, playing around with wvdial. The man pages suggest that it is "intelligent" and not very configurable. Where / how / is_it_possible to configure the values for mtu, mru, asyncmap? I have tried setting them in /etc/ppp/options but wvdial seems to ignore these params. I am using 7.2 Prof, full install and an external analogue modem. TIA, Lourens. *** It's a thankless job, but I've got a lot of bad Karma to burn off. *** Powered by SuSE Linux 7.2 Professional Registered Linux User Lourens Steenkamp Republic of South Africa _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

RE: [SLE] Email Settings?
by Watson, Randy 01 Aug '01

Jeff, I am just realizing that the DNS MX records may not have propogated, yet ... I changed the MX record last night. It has only started working from your email, now, from a couple of others, and also from another email account of mine. So, I think I panicked when it didn't work immediately. Patience is a virtual attribute... Thanks, I'll keep watching it though.

by Kenny Shields 01 Aug '01

01 Aug '01

I have installed SuSe 7.2 to an existing SeSe 6.1 setup. T have had to reconfigure the modem detup. The result is when logged in as root I can dial out ok. As any other user I am getting the error from Wvdial of "Cannot open /dev/ttys0 - device or resource is busy" Can anyone point me to where I should be looking or what I should do? Any help greatly appreciated. Cheers, Kenny. -- Cheers, Kenny. Thought for today:- Everyone likes flattery, and when it comes to royalty, you should lay it on with a trowel. -- Benjamin Disraeli

Normally a clean install of SuSE 7.2 sets the symlinks the right way, so the above appeals just in case it didn't (cdrecorder should point to your CD-RW, cdrom to your cd-rom drive). No media found means that there is no CD in the drive, or only a corrupted one. Goodbye ...

ssh and telnet.

01 Aug '01

Hi. Using SuSE linux 7.2 here. Isn't it not possible to acces with ssh, rsh and telnet from another computer from the outside. I mean from a friend placed another place in the country. Is there some parts of the firewall set by default ?. -- Med venlig hilsen - Best regards - Vy 73 de Erik OZ4KK ----/ / _Erik Jakobsen - erik(a)urbakken.dk ---/ / (_)__ __ ____ __ --/ /__/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / -/____/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\ 7.2

Something is strange because I have > about 4 machines with FA310TX's running both linux and windows (at various > times). Never had a problem configuring that card on either Win or Linux. If the problem were with the cable only then ifconfig would list a proper HWaddr and not 00:00:00:00:00:00! IMHO, if the driver (via-rhine.o) doesn't get a proper HW address when it's loaded then it will not work. (Well, it's possible to set the MAC address for some cards (perhaps to all zeros too) but I don't think this case is relevant here.) -- Alexandr.Malusek(a)imv.liu.se
