1) Anyone know if I can run a java app without being in Xwindows? 2) Anyone using a touchscreen with Linux? If so, do I have to be in Xwindows? Thanks! Tom

Hi, The same thing hapens om my system with a geforce card. I do not think your monitor goes to sleep but rather your system crashes. Some things which are recomended for the Geforce: Add mem=nopentium to the command line if you have an AMD machine. Disable 4x AGP in bios. Disable fast APG in bios. Hope it helps for you, Regards, Armand #-----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- #Van: Ray Abbott [mailto:ray.a2@ntlworld.com] #Verzonden: woensdag 13 februari 2002 17:21 #Aan: SuSE #Onderwerp: [SLE] Install Help plz # #organised until it gets time to test the monitor, which then #switches it's self #off completely.

I Blew It This Time

I was attempting to change permissions in a user account on a SuSE 7.1 partition and managed to kill the Xserver, I don't have the faintest idea as to how, or how to fix it. The messages I receive when I attempt to startx are: Fatal server error: Cannot open log file "/var/log/XFree86.0.log" When reporting a problem related to a server crash, please send the full server output, not just the last messages. This can be found in the log file "/var/log/XFree86.0.log". Please report problems to xfree86(a)xfree86.org. giving up. xinit: No such file or directory (errno 2): unable to connect to X server xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error. How do I restore X? Thanks in advance.

Comments please? Will SuSE support all-in-one peripherals in the next release or will I have to switch to Mandrake?

Februar 2002 00:42 To: PASCHAL,DAVID (HP-Roseville,ex1) Cc: hpoj-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [hpoj-devel] Foomatic supports HPOJ now. (....) Mandrake 8.2 will ship CUPS 1.1.13 (with the ptal script), LPRng, PDQ, HPOJ 0.8, SANE with HPOJ support compiled in, and the HPOJ-enabled Foomatic. Under all spoolers printerdrake configures HP's multi-function devices fully automatically with HPOJ, including scanning (both methods, SANE and ptal-hp -scan, depending on the model). The user is also informed how to scan on his device. After configuring the device he will find a command ("How to use this device") in the menu which he gets when double-clicking on the printer queue entry in printerdrake. Here there is also shown how to print and how to scan. scannerdrake does not need to be used with these devices. I encourage all readers of this list to download and install the beta versions of Mandrake Linux 8.2 and test the automatic configuration of HP's MF devices. The announcements of the betas are on http://www.mandrakeforum.com/ and the current beta is beta2. beta3 will come next week and has many bug fixes on printerdrake. (...) ===== Cheers ...

Need Network Assistance
by Steven Hatfield 14 Feb '02

14 Feb '02

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, I have a box that I'm admining that is several hundred miles away with a novice linux user at the helm. Until today, she was fine on the net and had 0 problems.. but suddenly she couldn't email or "surf the web". That's when I got the "please help" phone call.. and tried several things -- all to no avail. I tried to connect to her machine, and that was a no-go -- I get about 97% packet loss (42 packets transmitted, 1 packets received, 97% packet loss). There is another Windows machine in her house that is on a hub with her linux machine. The hub is connected to a cable modem, which supplies 2 IP addresses - -- 1 for each box. The Windows box is not having any problems with Internet connectivity. I tried small things -- "rcdhclient restart" -- which worked as it should but still didn't fix the problem. I had her go into yast2 - network/basic - and restart her whole network subsystem, which didn't work either. I had her swap the ethernet cable of the Windows machine to the Linux machine, and the situation didn't change, so it's nothing from the cable outward. Now here is the kicker -- if she types "ping 127.0.0.1" as +ROOT+, she gets the following response: ping: sendto Operation not permitted ping: wrote 127.0.0.1 64 chars, ret=-1 "ifconfig eth0" shows: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:04:5A:54:33:20 inet addr:64.192.118.153 Bcast:64.192.118.155 Mask:255.255.255.252 inet6 addr: fe80::204:5aff:fe54:3320/10 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST NOTRAILERS RUNNING MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:2252475 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:1478290 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:86 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:2496872698 (2381.2 Mb) TX bytes:220191125 (209.9 Mb) Interrupt:5 Base address:0xa000 - -- so it's able to pull an IP address from the cable company just fine. Does anyone know or have any idea why ping is not able to work against her own native IP? I'd love to be able to fix her machine without rebooting it.. she just hit 6 months of uptime.

Install Help plz
by Ray Abbott 14 Feb '02

14 Feb '02

Hello. Could someone help me with this weird problem I am having installing 7.3 pro alongside Win98. Everything goes as planned with all my hardware recognised and part ions organised until it gets time to test the monitor, which then switches it's self off completely. I have the latest drivers for it which Linux accepts and installs I have tried every resolution on offer within the program to no avail (including disableapic stuff). I have tried a text install and then use Sax2......same problem the monitor dies. The machine appears to lockup and the only way out is to reboot back to the choose monitor screen and try again. Frankly I am stumped, having no experience of Linux at all which I only bought two weeks ago and have been trying to install ever since :( . Monitor is a Proview 770 ( Not the best I agree but this monitor runs fine at any res under windows) running on a ATI Radeon All-in-wonder --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com) Version: 6.0.314 / Virus Database: 175 - Release Date: 11/01/02
