Multiple Configurations
by John Higgins 30 Mar '02

30 Mar '02

Hello Everyone, I've got a laptop and I have 3 pretty distinct situations that I would like to be able to deal with 1) The laptop running on my home network - X running at 1600x1200 at 85hZ with the laptop's built in ethernet running with an assigned address. 2) The laptop running at work - X running at 1600x1200 at 75hZ using the docking station's ethernet card running DHCP 3) The laptop in neither of the above - X running at 1024x768 and the built in ethernet card running under DHCP. I'm not asking what the config files for X or the ethernet card are. What I am looking for is some way to inform OS of where it is and to have the init scripts perform the proper functions for me. In other words - how can I make entries in the LILO list that I would be able to use in order to tell the init scripts what to run? The following are the three things I would like for LILO to offer as options when it starts up HOME OFFICE LAPTOP_ALONE Then upon selection I get the appropriate setup Any thoughts anyone???

brief loss of network connectivity during PPP up/down
by jon bird 30 Mar '02

30 Mar '02

Using SuSE Linux 6.4, kernel 2.2.1x: I noticed that my analogue modem establishes a PPP connection (and conversely when the connection is terminated) there is a slight pause of network traffic on the internal network - noticeable if for example you are playing mp3 music of the Linux machine as a brief glitch in the music. I put this down to it being an internal modem as the relay switches over. To try and avoid this then I've been using an external modem but the 'glitch' is still there. Can anyone explain where/why this is happening - looking at the log it seems to be occurring during the ip-up script, the glitch seems to occur just before I see the line: Mar 29 18:46:43 toaster pppd[4073]: Script /etc/ppp/ip-up finished (pid 4074), status = 0x200 pop up in the log. Using pretty much the SuSE basic setup with firewall & masquerading enabled.

syslog
by Chris Large 30 Mar '02

30 Mar '02

How do i change the parmeters for syslog? In the rc.d/syslog there is the following... echo -n "Starting syslog services" test -z "$KERNEL_LOGLEVEL" && KERNEL_LOGLEVEL=1 startproc /usr/sbin/syslogd $SYSLOGD_PARAMS || return=$rc_failed sleep 1 startproc /usr/sbin/klogd -c $KERNEL_LOGLEVEL || return=$rc_failed echo -e "$return" Where does this "$SYSLOGD_PARAMS" come from? Do i add my new parameters after "/usr/sbin/syslogd" but before "$SYSLOGD_PARAMS". I want syslog to be able to execpt connetions from a remote machine and ai think i have to add a "-r" to syslogd but not sure to add it. Thanks *--------------------------------* | Chris Large clarge(a)macn.bc.ca | | http://clarge.bc.ca | *--------------------------------*

Default browser in Evolution
by Clayton Cornell 30 Mar '02

30 Mar '02

Just got Evolution 1.0.3 up and running - really easy to meet the dependancies in SuSE7.3 BTW. I have only one complaint that I have not been able to solve... the default browser that is used when you click an HTML link. I keep getting Mozilla.... I woudl rather get Konqueror. I have done the Google search thing and came up with the suggestion that I opne the GNOME Control Center and change the URL handling option to Konqueror. Did that (from KDE) and I still get Mozilla. Any suggestions? What can I do to redirect Evolution to use Konqueror instead of Mozilla as the default HTML browser? C.

Netscape 6.2.2 question
by Joe & Sesil Morris (NTM) 30 Mar '02

30 Mar '02

I have been trying to figure out which Mozilla version it is based on, and AFAICT it is still based on .9.4 (or .9.4.1 maybe. Does anyone know? I have it downloaded, but I would lose more than I want to switch from Mozilla .9.8.
