problem with .bashrc
by Jonathan 02 Feb '02

02 Feb '02

Hi: I am having a problem with the .bashrc file on my SuSE 7.3 computer. I use the following entry at the end of my .bashrc but it puts $KDEDIR and $QTDIR in my path twice! What have I done wrong? export QTDIR=/home/kdetest/qt-x11-free-3.0.1 echo $QTDIR export KDEDIR=/home/kdetest/kde-copy echo $KDEDIR export PATH=$QTDIR/bin:$KDEDIR/bin:$PATH export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$KDEDIR/lib:$QTDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH export MANPATH=$QTDIR/doc/man/:$MANPATH If I just put this in a file called kde3-compile and do: source kde3-compile the double inclusion of the the added paths does not happen. TIA for any advice. Jonathan

remote printing
by Tim Hanson 02 Feb '02

02 Feb '02

I can't seem to get output from suse3 (using apsfilter and lpr) to suse1, which has the printer. Local output from suse1 to its own port works well. Here's /etc/printcap for suse1: # ascii|lp1|ljet4-letter-ascii-mono-600|ljet4 letter ascii mono 600:\ :lp=/dev/lp0:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/ljet4-letter-ascii-mono-600:\ :lf=/var/spool/lpd/ljet4-letter-ascii-mono-600/log:\ :af=/var/spool/lpd/ljet4-letter-ascii-mono-600/acct:\ :if=/var/lib/apsfilter/bin/ljet4-letter-ascii-mono-600:\ :la@:mx#0:\ :tr=:cl:sh: # lp|lp2|ljet4-letter-auto-mono-600|ljet4 letter auto mono 600:\ :lp=/dev/lp0:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/ljet4-letter-auto-mono-600:\ :lf=/var/spool/lpd/ljet4-letter-auto-mono-600/log:\ :af=/var/spool/lpd/ljet4-letter-auto-mono-600/acct:\ :if=/var/lib/apsfilter/bin/ljet4-letter-auto-mono-600:\ :la@:mx#0:\ :tr=:cl:sh: # raw|lp3|ljet4-letter-raw|ljet4 letter raw:\ :lp=/dev/lp0:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/ljet4-letter-raw:\ :lf=/var/spool/lpd/ljet4-letter-raw/log:\ :af=/var/spool/lpd/ljet4-letter-raw/acct:\ :if=/var/lib/apsfilter/bin/ljet4-letter-raw:\ :la@:mx#0:\ :tr=:cl:sh: # ### END apsfilter: ### ljet4 letter mono 600 ### BTW, I don't have DNS set up.

START_LOOPBACK
by Anthony W. Marino 02 Feb '02

02 Feb '02

I've been advised that I'm missing "START_LOOPBACK" environment variable. Should I manually put it in the "rc.config" file? Is there anything else that I need to do, as well? Thank You, Anthony

Opera warning (was Re: [SLE] What's this? Anyone got this too?
by Doug McGarrett 02 Feb '02

02 Feb '02

Warning: I tried Opera from work, on Windows. It was kinda nice but: somehow it killed, permanently, a Visual Basic routine that tied Windows 98 into an AS-400 computer for some data. I don't know how, and IT won't help me. They want to completely wipe everything off my drive and reinstall W98 from scratch. With THEIR apps only, of course. --doug Original message (in part): >setting which is what I should have done in the first place. I only use Opera from work...at home >it's usually KMail. > >Tim Harrell [ .+1s/NOSPAM// to reply ] ><suse-ml(a)NOSPAMtharrell.com>

is this a bug??(ext3 & tty)
by Raúl Gutiérrez Segalés 01 Feb '02

01 Feb '02

Hi: I am wondering if this is a bug: crw--w---- 1 root tty 4, 24 ago 30 16:30 /dev/tty3 crw--w---- 1 root tty 4, 24 ago 30 16:30 /dev/tty4 crw--w---- 1 root tty 4, 24 ago 30 16:30 /dev/tty5 crw--w---- 1 root tty 4, 24 ago 30 16:30 /dev/tty6 Now, I am unable to erase them, nor to overwrite them with /dev/MAKEDEV Kernel is 2.4.7-10 and filesystem is ext3 Could this be a bug??? I am going for kernel recompile (I am getting 2.4.16 from kernel.org right now).. cause I didnt find any other way to restore those minor numbers. I booted from a floppy as well and couldnt remove them neither (got "Operation not permitted" message). Any suggestion? Besides cd / ; rm -rf / :-) Thanks! Raul
