CD to MP3
by Damon Register 08 Dec '02

08 Dec '02

While looking for information on this subject, I found in the SuSE Linux 8.0 Applications book (page 45) that I could just enter audiocd:/ in the URL bar of Konqueror. This was also suggested in a thread of the same subject about 3 months ago. I tried it but it didn't work for me. According to the SuSE book, I needed to make myself a member of the disk group so I did that. When I type the audiocd:/ and press enter, nothing at all happens. it doesn't seem to hang, I get no error message. What else is missing? Damon Register

Hi. I try to open the /dev/parport0 in my VMware. It tells me, that "permission denied". Its the first parallel port I want to be used. Is it then the wrong parport ?. How give the permisson to the parport0 ? -- Med venlig hilsen - Best regards - vy73 de OZ4KK. Erik Jakobsen - erik(a)urbakken.dk Registered Linux user #114875 - http://counter.li.org

by TROTET ALEXIS 08 Dec '02

08 Dec '02

hi I access internet throught adsl over an ethernet card, and i encountered a little problem today...My connection works good but when i want to redirect my dinamic ip to my dns it direct it to 192.168.0.1 .I looked to my configuration and eth0 is set to dhcp, and when i load the system i can see that it assigned 192.168.0.1 to eth0, why this happened? i just reinstalled the suse 8.0 and before while loading the system it was saying that the ip will be delivered later... I hope somebody will help me resolve this little problem! have a nice day all of u alexis ___________________________________________________________ Soyez solidaire soutenez laction du Téléthon avec Yahoo!

SuSE 8.1 - Gnome2 - libORBitCosNaming.la
by Andre Truter 08 Dec '02

08 Dec '02

Hi, I am still trying to compile gnomesword on SuSE 8.1 - quite a mission. :-) I assume it is due to Gnome2. Now I got stuck on /opt/gnome/lib/libORBitCosNaming.la that is not found. The orbit-devel-0.5.17-63 package only have /usr/lib/libORBitCosNaming.a But, the orbit2-devel-2.4.1-44 has /usr/lib/libORBitCosNaming-2.la Anyone know where I can get libORBitCosNaming.la for SuSE 8.1? Or how to get gnomesword to compile on SuSE 8.1?

Scanner + YaST2
by Gunnar Haaland 08 Dec '02

08 Dec '02

I have a new Epson Perfection 1260 flatbed scanner, and I have some problem to install it. I am using Suse 8.o Prof. When I start YaST it can not find my scanner, so I try to configure with YaST, I can not find any Epson 1260 on the list, so I use 1240. If I try to use the Test button, YaST freeze, but if I continue without the Test, my scanner works, but When I start my system the next time, there is no scanner. My SuSE have forgotten that I have a scanner. -- Garantert fri for virus. Kmail og SuSE 8.0

Wireless to connect SuSE laptop with router
by Ralph Sanford 08 Dec '02

08 Dec '02

A question about wireless compatibility with SuSE. I intend to connect my laptop to a DSL/Cable router with a wireless connection. The laptop has SuSE 8.0 installed, though I do have a copy of 8.1 sitting here waiting to be used. Using the built-in NIC I can connect the laptop to the internet, however, I want to use wireless for the laptop. A Google search shows that 8.1 is supposed to have lots of extra ability regarding wireless (OK), but also shows a lot of people saying they can not get various brand name PCMCIA cards to work. The SuSE database has information regarding a wireless setup, but does not give brand names known to work. Locally D-Link and Linksys is readily available. From the internet, almost anything is available. Considering that a wireless access point cost as much or more than a new DSL/Cable wireless 4-port router, I will probably buy a new router to match the PCMCIA wireless card. What brands are know to work with SuSE? Working with SuSE is priority number 1, security is priority number 2.
