Linux on Dell Latitude C640
by Nico Bayer 10 Dec '02

10 Dec '02

Hello, I wanted to install Suse Linux 8.0 on a DELL Latitude C640 Laptop. Everything worked fine. But the problem started with the first boot. With the message "Starting Kernel pcmcia" the laptop stopped and nothing worked anymore. Perhaps someone has the same problem and knows how to solve. Thanks in common Regards, Nico

Hi, Is there an X-server supporting Display Postscript (DPS) and running on Linux? I'd like to replace an aging X-terminal (Sun Ultra I) of a Solaris server with a Linux PC. DPS would make user's life easier. -- Alexandr.Malusek(a)imv.liu.se

can't install DBD::mysql on SUSE 8.1
by David Driscoll 10 Dec '02

10 Dec '02

Hi, I've been trying to install DBD::mysql on SUSE 8.1. I run "perl Makefile.PL" then "make" make gets to "chmod: failed to get attributes of 'blib/arch/aaut/DBD/mysql/mysql.so'" and fails. There is no mysql.so anywhere on my system. I googled and found something on the MYSQL site that said the problem was perl couldn/t locate libmysqlclient.so. I do have this file and I tried all the suggestions MYSQL offered: add location of libmysqlclient.so to path, add path to LD_RUN_PATH, compile perl Makefile.PL -static -config. But install still fails. I can find some copies of mysql.so on the net but they all seem to be part of packagesvfor older versions of RedHat and I don't want to load old over newer. All the other mysql stuff seems to be ok. Can anyone help? Has anyone installed the DBD::mysql driver on SUSE 8.1? Thanks, Dave Driscoll

Re: [SLE] Help me, problem with configure shell script

Look in the configure script, perhaps the shell it is referring to is not on your system Look for the first line in the file #!/usr/bin/????? this is the shell that is going to execute this script, it might be a shell or a path to a shell that is not found -- <End of message> In the configure script there's: #!/bin/sh # # rdesktop: A Remote Desktop Protocol client # configure script ...

It did the same on RH 7.3 Changing MPlayer to suid did the trick. I know it's not the most secure way, but this is a single user system that's not on any network, so it doesn't really matter.

Kernel stuff
by john B 10 Dec '02

10 Dec '02

Hi gang, I asked this on the ng, but haven't received a reply yet. I'd like to try and compile a new(er) kernel for my SuSE 8.0 system. I've looked at kernel.org, and see a 2.4.20 and a 2.5.50, and I've read in this newsletter about a 2.4.20 on suse's ftp site under /andrea. What should I get? I understand I can use different kernels if I wish, is this correct? Of the 2.4.20 kernels, the one on kernel.org's site is about 37MB download, the one on the suse ftp site is a .bz2 and is only 1.3MB...why is there such a huge difference? If I get a kernel from the .org site, will it work on my suse system? Where is the actual kernel for suse on the suse ftp site I should download if that is the better choice? I'm leaning toward the 2.4.20, but wouldn't mind trying the 2.5.x, but I just don't know 'what' to download, if that makes it any clearer about my question(s). Thanks for putting up with all of these inquiries, I know someone is probably groaning reading this, but hey...we all have to try *sometime* don't we? heh Thanks for any help, John

Hi there, I installed Yahoo Messenger for linux a few weeks ago, and it seems that during installation I checked the option "run this program when Linux starts", now everytime I login under KDE the Yahoo applet starts. How can I disable that?, should I edit some file or something?
