rsh host vs rsh host command
by Gerhard den Hollander 29 Mar '02

29 Mar '02

This is puzzling me if I do: rsh host I can login without a password prompt or anything. If I do echo host echo yes nothing happens for a while (30 seconds ?) and then I get host: connection refused Doing exactly the same thing onto a Sun machine works just fine Any idea where I need to look ? I did check /etc/pam.conf (and verified them against a set of linux machines where rsh otherlinuxbox echo yes indeed echoes yes) and that works just fine.

Re: [SLE] KDE3/SuSE

The problem with DCOP server is caused by missing entries in the startkde file. Below is a patch that should fix your startkde file to make KDE3 work again. Good luck. Oh and sorry about this not threading correctly, I lost the original email and pulled the subject off the SuSE web site. --- startkde~ Mon Mar 25 04:21:44 2002 +++ startkde Thu Mar 28 20:18:28 2002 @@ -36,7 +36,9 @@ # The user's personal KDE directory is usually $HOME/.kde3, but this setting # may be overridden by setting KDEHOME. # -KDEMAINDIR=/opt/kde3/ +export QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt3 +export KDEDIRS=/opt/kde3:/etc/X11/kde3 +export KDEMAINDIR=/opt/kde3/ [ "$KDEHOME" ] || export KDEHOME=$HOME/.kde [ -z "$KDEROOTHOME" -a "$UID" == "0" ] && export KDEROOTHOME=$HOME/.kde echo "$PATH" | grep -q "${KDEMAINDIR}bin" || export PATH=${KDEMAINDIR}bin:$PATH

A Faster System
by Darren Harmon 29 Mar '02

29 Mar '02

Hi; I have a choice of hard disk setup options. Which one is faster for linux? 1. Use Two hard drives at ATA66, in which I place the swap partition and VAR partition on the other disk, so linux will access both disks at the same time. (ie. opening a program and writing a log). 2. Use one disk at ATA100. (only one disk due to the IDE cable not being long enough - I have a full tower and some of the drive bays are quite away from the motherboard) If 2. then will SuSE 7.2 support the Promise Ultra ATA100 controller on the Asus A7V motherboard? Thanks for your help. -- --------- Darren Harmon http://users.breathemail.net/darren.harmon1/

kernel panic
by Patrick Nelson 29 Mar '02

29 Mar '02

My 71pro system locked yesterday and a cold reboot was implemented. When the reboot started it goes to a certain point and then does a kernel panic with a message like: kernel panic: no init found. try passing init= option to kernel. Anyone know what could be wrong? I've tried fsck'ing the partitions and they come up clean.

programming question
by Alberto Santana 29 Mar '02

29 Mar '02

Hi guys, Maybe this is not the place for this... but I hope somebody can help. Suppose I have a Perl script that will (basically) do something like this (from cron): $output=`lynx -dump http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-linux-e/2002-Mar/`; $send_it=`mail me\(a)here.com<$output`; OK, here comes the problem. What if list.suse.com is down? lynx will keep trying for a while until it gives up or something. Is it possible to impose a time limit, like: execute $output, wait for 45 seconds, if there was no response (lynx did not dump), exit(0); cheers, A PS. Solutions based on Python, bash, tcsh, etc. are welcome 2. -- Powered by SuSE Linux 7.1 (http://www.suse.com)

This should turn some heads....

This should give the Linux desktop a major boost: Apart from MSFT delaying tactics to the contary....: Announcing CrossOver Office, new Support system (Jeremy White, Wed Mar 27 04:58:09 2002) I am very excited to announce the next product in our CrossOver family of products - CrossOver Office. CrossOver Office will make it possible to install and use popular Windows applications as easily as CrossOver Plugin has made it to use Windows plugins, all without a Microsoft Windows Operating System license. Version 1.0 of CrossOver Office will support Microsoft Office 97, Microsoft Office 2000, and Lotus Notes. We hope to rapidly expand our support throughout the year. We have also made a major change in the way we deliver support to our customers, in the hope that we can serve you better. Specifically, we have built a completely new support infrastructure which means that each customer support email is assigned a ticket, and is tracked through our system. We also are providing a new support web page, http://support.codeweavers.com which provides you with a place to search the support archives and check up on the status of your requests. The new support system, if you sign in (which is optional), allows us to provide you with some further features. First, we can now automatically remail you a full installation download, which we hope will come in handy when you've lost yours or when we have a version upgrade. Second, and we hope importantly, we are offering a special discounted price to all of our current CrossOver Plugin customers - you can buy CrossOver Office for $39.95 instead of $54.95, if you go through the download section of the new support web site. Once again, I want to thank all of you. Working with our customers has been the greatest pleasure we have had these past 9 months. Please let us know if you have any problems or concerns. Cheers, Jeremy _______________________________________________ announce mailing list announce(a)crossover.codeweavers.com http://crossover.codeweavers.com/mailman/listinfo/announce I know its probably not going to happen, but how about a future version of SuSE being bundled with these products?

LaTeX or Lyx or ...?
by Dennis Tuchler 28 Mar '02

28 Mar '02

What is the difference between LaTeX and LyX? As I understand it, either is superior to a word processor if one is writing academic papers or books. Is that right? Any information would be welcome. dj tuchler
