Hardware devices and /dev?
by Damon Register 13 Dec '02

13 Dec '02

In trying to get grip working, I have searched through quite a few posts on the subject or relating to it. It seems that device permissions are a big issue. For me this has created a new question for which I haven't yet found an answer in my SuSE manual or in "Running Linux". Isn't it true that all the hardware can be found as items under /dev? For my system, SuSE has recognized all the hardware such as IDE controller and SCSI controller but how do I find what is the /dev that is associated with either of these controllers? In general, how can one determine the /dev for any hardware? It is easy enough to go to YaST and get a detailed hardware list with lots of info about the devices but I don't see any mention of the /dev. Damon Register

Re: [SLE] can't burn cd's & yast2 can't see installation dvd anymore

Thanx a lot; Ken. I'll try using directly the commands tonight. In fact; i already made my both drives ide-scsi, just as you said to. There's no problem with it, when i run "cdrecord -scanbus", i see both my drives. I also changed fstab. But still KOnCd gives a crash. I'm aiming to copy audio cd's. I'll try also xcdroast tonight; but Yast2 can't see my suse installation dvd anymore. Is it because of scsi emulation? Before the emulation, there was no problem with Yast2. On the other hand, i still can mount & use installation dvd from with file mgr. I searched suse-linux-e archives and found out that Robert Storey had almost the same prob with me. But i couldn't find the "solved" message. Is he still using this list? Does the scsi emulation cause other probs like it did (?) with the installation dvd? Maybe dvd or vcd films or sth else?

Mozilla GTK2 at last!
by James Ogley 13 Dec '02

13 Dec '02

That's right folks, I've finally got a package of Mozilla 1.2.x built with GTK2 up on www.usr-local-bin.org - this is in preparation for building Galeon 1.3.1, the latest build of Galeon's GNOME2 port. Highlights include: * Flash 6 plugin beta * built with GCC 2 so Java works correctly :) * GNOME2 menu integration * GNOME2 font inheritance, and in Classic theme, GTK2 theme colour inheritance.

nis doesn't automount
by steve 13 Dec '02

13 Dec '02

Hi. I want users who have an account under /home on our server to be able to login from a client without having to have an account there.. At the moment the login names appear at the kdm prompt but I am having to mount their /home directories using NFS on every client they use :-( What do the /etc/auto* files have to contain to achieve this? Could anyone doing the same help? Or maybe that's not what nis does? Thanks. Steve. SuSE 8.0 and 8.1

can't burn cd's
by oeren＠ykb.com 13 Dec '02

13 Dec '02

Hi, I tried a lot to use my cd-writer in suse, but still couldn't get a result. I have suse 8.0 which emulated my cd-writer (hdd) by default. But my other drive (dvd) is not. With this config, KOnCd can't be used. When I open the setup window, both writing & reading devices are set to cd-r. I change the reading device to dvd; click OK and KOnCd crashes. I can't use KreateCd also.. Because in this program devices can only be chosen from an scsi device list. Does my both drives have to be emulated? Or what else may be the problem?

Hmmm.... That's strange. We use Compaq Evo Workstations all the time and never had a problem with the network adapter. The e100 module should just work fine! So are you sure the card is not detected in anyway?
