Re: [SLE] burning cd's
by Doug McGarrett 26 Mar '02

Your CD player must be able to read and play mp3 files. Some of the newer ones do, but most do not. Check the specs on your cd player, and if you need to do that, you may have to buy a new one. A few of the latest auto cd players also will. --doug At 22:37 03/23/2002 -0800, Chris Large wrote: >Is there a way to burn mp3's to a cd so that they can play on any cd >player like an audio cd does? > > > > *--------------------------------* > | Chris Large clarge(a)macn.bc.ca | > | http://clarge.bc.ca | > *--------------------------------* > > >-- >To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe(a)suse.com >For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com >Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq and the >archives at http://lists.suse.com >

LaTeX under Suse Linux
by Debbie Rogers 26 Mar '02

26 Mar '02

Hi! I was wondering if there is a LaTeX package in the SuSE distribution, like latex2e, DVI, etc... If so does anyone know what the packages are called? If not can anyone recommend public or commercial versions for linux? Much thanks Debbie ===== -------------------------------------------------------- When I am good, I am very good...but when I am bad, I am even better! -Mae West __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

processing text files: which tools?
by Cincai Patron 26 Mar '02

26 Mar '02

Hi, I need to process a textfile, but don't know which tools to use, need some insight: The original text format is like this: 1,2,3,4,5 1,2,4,5,6 Now I need to insert something (maybe a line or more) before each line which contains the last token. Also, the last token should be in new line, so the format is something like this: some new lines bla blab la 5 blabla 1,2,3,4 5 some new lines 6 blabla 1,2,4,5 6 which tools I need to use? I know / have a little experience with sed, but that's as far as replace/insert character in a lines, not inserting new lines...? TIA -- Verdi March -- __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Movies - coverage of the 74th Academy Awards� http://movies.yahoo.com/

Rpm Database Is Stuffed
by Dave Barton 26 Mar '02

26 Mar '02

Is there any way to repair the rpm database in SuSE 7.3? On my last few attempts at installing different rpm packages through kpackage, gnorpm or command line, the install starts, runs for about 10 minutes, breaks up the screen display, freezes the system and sits there spinning the hdd into oblivion. The only way out is a hard reset. On a couple of occasions the packages did in fact install successfully, others show up in kpackage as having been installed, but are in fact not on my hdd. Selecting the kpackage file list for these non-existent packages brings up a message correctly saying that the package is not installed. Using kpackage's uninstall option reports the same thing and makes the package disappear from the installed list. Reloading the list or restarting kpackage restores the fictitious packages to the list. It's very likely that I generated this problem, by accidentally installing a Gnome specific package with kpackage while running KDE, because that was the first time the rpm installation crashed and has continued to crash my system ever since then. It may have no relevance to this problem, but just before this first crash I tried to perform a YOU update which just died at the end of the download stage. Any suggestions or guidance on how this can be fixed (not a reinstall pleeeeeeease) would be appreciated. TIA Dave

realtek8139
by marquis＠altern.org 26 Mar '02

hi, I used to install suse61 by nfs throuh 2 realtek8139 network cards, by it doesn't work with suse72, it's very slow and crashes Yast in the end. It makes no difference I use 8139too or rtl8139 modules, transfer rate is 15 UDP pachet/sec (was up to 1000 packets/sec for suse61). I thought problem was with 8139too, known for problems with nfs, but same with rtl8139. Thanks for your help if you have an idea! marquis

activate pop daemon manually
by abarthel 26 Mar '02

26 Mar '02

Hello, I had many problems with Postfix on SuSE7.3 till I learned that inetd was deactivated on SuSE 7.3 for security reasons (on a PRO version?) and that a default pop servor was not installed like it was usually the case with earlier SuSE version. That's the problem with default settings especially when your favourite distributor change them every three months. But a question: I activated thus manually inetd to have a pop daemon working (I activated pop2 and pop3 but I suppose pop3 is enough for Postfix, sorry I did not have a course on all the available POP protocols). Is there a way to activate the pop3 daemon manually without going through inetd? -- Alain Barthélemy

system update question
by bob smith 26 Mar '02

26 Mar '02

Hello, I was curious about the system update method. Is this only to be used when going from version to version such as SuSE 7.2 to 7.3, or can it also be used to update your current software as well? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

RE: [SLE] bootable CD's
by Berge, Harry ten 26 Mar '02

26 Mar '02

Have a look at 'isolinux' (http://syslinux.zytor.com/), which is a version of the really good syslinux. It makes it possible to create a bootable CD-ROM with the help of an initial ramdisk (the same way as with syslinux and a boot floppy) but WITHOUT the constraint of a 1.44M size. So you really are free to make a ramdisk of your own personal settings. You can create the CD using ordinary mkisofs/cdrecord and it works great!
