I simply want to log onto the remote machine through SSH and start up the X app on THEIR end for them. It's just a convenience. If I ever reboot their machine remotely, I don't want to have to call them and say "ok, now click on that icon at the bottom of the screen to start the program". Basically, imagine I set up a server for a remote client, and this client has no idea how to use linux. Nor do I want them poking around inside the system. I want to be able to start their X app remotely. I tried VNC but with VNC I am able to log onto their computer but I cannot see the 'task bar' at the bottom of the screen (the KDE task bar), not am I able to see any X apps even though they ARE running on that machine. --------------------------- Eric Carbone

New computer sources
by P.T. (nevada) 26 Mar '02

26 Mar '02

Looking for sources that sells computers with Suse pre-installed. The only ones I have have found so far only installs Redhat or some of the other distros. Anyone have any links to sites that sells Suse Linux computers? Paul T. -- Anytime you have a 50-50 chance of getting it right, there's a 90% probability you'll get it wrong.

online update aborts without message or core file
by Kurt R. Rahlfs 26 Mar '02

26 Mar '02

SITUATION: I been trying to run YaST Online Update (YOU) from the text version of yast2. I've tried both the automatic method and the manual method. Both were from ftp.suse.com. First it was running out of space so I am now mounting /tmp on a NFS file system with 5 gig. PROBLEM: Now YOU just returns to a command prompt where I have to do "stty sane" to bring sanity to my tty session. HARDWARE: I am running this on a pentium 100MHz box. Any suggestions on where I can go from here?

One line depends on your network setup ie if your MASQ LAN is 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.0.255 then 192.168.0.0/24 would do the trick -- Togan Muftuoglu Unofficial SuSE FAQ Maintainer http://dinamizm.ath.cx

bootable CD's
by Mike 26 Mar '02

26 Mar '02

Hi, I'm trying to create a bootable CD for Windows. I know I need to create an image of a bootable floppy for this. No problem. I did a dd if=/dev/fd0 of=boot.img. That created the image of a bootable floppy. Now I try to get it burned onto a CD. I've tried both Xcdroast and mkisofs from the command line. No luck. Most of the time it tells me that it can't find the boot.img file. But it is there, and it is the right size. I'm missing something quite simple but can't figure it out. The man page is of little or no help other than giving the -b eltorito_img_file command. no examples to be found on the page at all. Does anyone know how to do this?

commands through SSH
by Eric Carbone 26 Mar '02

26 Mar '02

I am using ssh to log into one linux machine from another. ssh -l <username> -X 10.XXX.XXX.XXX But when I enter a command to start up a java app, it opens on MY linux machine instead of the remote one! How do I enter a command and have it open on the other machine (the one I am connecting TO via ssh)? Thanks, --------------------------- Eric Carbone
