SuSE without video card
by Richard Bos 06 Feb '02

06 Feb '02

Just out of curiousity: Is it possible to run SuSE linux without a video card, after it has been installed. The concerned system is performing already for a long very well as email server, but the video card is getting bad. The box is accesible via ethernet, so this should be sufficient for the server, isn't it? -- Richard Bos For those without home the journey is endless

Wine and Win2k
by Tom Nielsen 06 Feb '02

06 Feb '02

Has anyone setup CodeWeavers Wine on 7.3 to work with Win2k? I'm having problems accessing files under Program Files on Win2k and I think it's because of the space between Program and Files. I've tried several remedies: - Program_Files - Program\\Files - progra~1 - ProgramFiles - Program/Files and others. I can get Notepad to work fine and other programs that are in a "one word" folder, but when I try to access programs like Word...no luck. I get an error that says cannot find folder C:\Program' Thanks! Tom Nielsen Neuro Logic Systems 805.389.5435 x18 www.neuro-logic.com

.htaccess and apache
by Tom Kostiainen 06 Feb '02

06 Feb '02

Hi, I'm having problems getting .htaccess to work with Apache. Then I found the text below in a online FAQ. My question now is, what are those 3rd party authentication modules mentioned below. I would need to know what modules to comment. ----- "On a SuSE Linux system, I try and configure access control using basic authentication. Although I follow the example exactly, authentication fails, and an error message "admin: not a valid FDN: ...." is logged". In the SuSE distribution, additional 3rd party authentication modules have been added and activated by default. These modules interfere with the Apache standard modules and cause Basic authentication to fail. Our recommendation is to comment all those modules in /etc/httpd/suse_addmodule.conf and /etc/httpd/suse_loadmodule.conf which are not actually required for running your server. ---- Cheers! - tk

Online Update problems
by Robert van der Kamp 06 Feb '02

06 Feb '02

Hi, I'm running Suse 7.3 and can't get the KDE 2.2.2 update installed using the Yast2 Online Update tool. After downloading the large patch, the install part of the process is done immidiately. When looking at the log file, the KDE 2.2.2 patch (and a couple of others as well) has the 'new' state, and not 'installed' as I had hoped. When asking the current KDE version, I still get 2.2.1 indeed, so the patch did not install. Also tried it from the command line as root, but nothing seems to help. Any tips? Thanks, Robert

Making network analysis
by Pascal Miquet 06 Feb '02

06 Feb '02

Hi, I'd like to make network analysis, because we've got a very bad transfert rate between an x220 IBM series and a vms SYSTEM. Yes they are already running :) How can I checks what's going on the network. Note that I have no idea concerning the connection between my LiNUX box and the vms one. I've already check that my interface is using the e100 driver revision 1.6.29 found on intel Web site. It's configured with 100 Mbps half duplex. The transfert rate is about 10Kbytes/sec. Tranfering data with my linux sender box trought a 2Mbit connection is OK. I've got transfert rate of 200Kbytes/sec. Thanks for your help.

problems starting up
by Clinton F. Aarts 06 Feb '02

06 Feb '02

I have been a Suse user since 6.4 came out and I have a problem with 7.2 pro on my laptop. All of a sudden it says that there is a inconsistancy and that I need to manually repair (fsck) /dev/hda2/ I have no idea what caused this altough I heard that dual booting with win2k can cause problems with file systems, if I switch between win2k to suse I need to shut the machine first and not reboot for it will cause Suse to crash during LILO. Do you know what kind of problem I am having?
