OT: Elf Bowling game?
by Patrick 01 Dec '02

01 Dec '02

Hi all, Danger Will Robinson off topic question ahead! Are any of you familar with the above game? The last time I used Windows, there was Elf Bowling and Elf Bowling 2 available. Are the games or like games available in Linux somewhere? I intend to do a Google search after typing this mail, but I thought I would throw out the question to all of you first. They usually show up around Christmas time from the guy's site that wrote them for Winblows. They are fun to pass the time away.

Hi, Just curious if anyone knows why SuSE created /srv and /media? I had already created our web under /usr/local/www. Thank you. -- __________________________ DJ mailto: linux_programmer(a)hotmail.com

** Reply to message from "Howard Coles Jr." <hcoles(a)subdimension.com> on Sat, 30 Nov 2002 12:34:18 -0600 I don't know about your other problems , but at least I might be able to sort one of them out for you <g> at least if you are in Suse 8.0 , you didn't say, or I missed it. > I also can't figure out what wierd thing happened to my cdroms. > I have a DVD player, and an HP cd burner. That is your problem.. apparently the programs can't , at least not yet , actually produce the view that is in Konqueror ( easiest wayt to rip cds into whatever variation of new versions you wish ( ogg, mp3, wave etc ) ) IF there is more than one "cd" which is esentially what you have. And even if you don't want to use soemthing as exotic as the konqueror setup there seems to be some sort of confusion when there is more than one "cd" setup on the box. I suspect the problems you are having, W/ the Cdroms ,relate to that. Also , be sure that if you are trying to play music cds that the sound card is actually setup for the music cd player, adn the speakers are set to the sound card . (Ie they are plugged into the sound card ) I have two sound cardds and that has caught me out a couple of times. IIRC there was something about this back in the 7.3 documentation ? somehwere in all those books evryone complains about every time a new version of Suse comes out. Could be 8.0 tho. I'm pretty sure there must be something in the hardware database, or posibley Togan's Unofficial Suse Faq .. which I'm sure soemone can supply the url for... I , unfortunatly have a "memory leak" today of the proportions that make a black hole look tiny and insignificant. You didn't mention the version so I have no idea what might be happeing w/ the rest of your box... Tho it does take a long , and tending toward very long, time to get everything installed and setup at once.. It might be better if you settle on a default installation that you can live w/ ( your defualt if you like ) and get the problems w/ this or that widget settled before you attemtp to load up everything on the dvd! If there is a binery or "do it yourself tar package" of whatever is installed by red hat for your wireless stuff you problably install it on your suse box.. just an idea -- j afterthought: Life after death? Is that like terminate and stay resident?

intermittant wireless connection
by Bob 30 Nov '02

30 Nov '02

Since I installed the pci wireless card I had no issue, until today. Starting this morning I lose connectivity every 5 mins or so. I found some error messages in /var/log/messages. The error messages I see are: eth0: Error -110 Settings multicast list eth0: Error -110 Writing Tx descriptor to BAP What do these errors mean and how can I fix them?? Is this an error reported by the firmware? I am using SuSe 8.1 Thanks very much for you time. Bob

Of course, if this is building against 1.2, you should give up and wait for 1.2.1 - 1.2 has been withdrawn due to a DHTML bug. -- James Ogley, Webmaster, Rubber Turnip james(a)rubberturnip.org.uk http://www.rubberturnip.org.uk Jabber: riggwelter(a)myjabber.net Using Free Software since 1994, running GNU/Linux (SuSE 8.1).

SuSE 8.1 - Gnome2 adding own menu?
by Andre Truter 30 Nov '02

30 Nov '02

Hi, I have just installed SuSE 8.1. GNOME2 seems to be much faster and smoother, but I really miss some sawfish functionality. :-( In Gnome 1.4 I had a favourites menu with my own apps an slaunchers, etc. Now I wan to create my own menu again for GNOME2. I looked in the GNOME2 manual and it seems that you have to use nautilus and add a folder to the Applications folder. I can add the folder, but I cannot give it a name. It just stays 'untitled folder' even after I rename it. Has anyone had the same problem?

It has been pulled. They are going to release a 1.2.1 version, due to a vunerability. http://slashdot.org/articles/02/11/30/0029226.shtml?tid=154 Harry G
