by Harry G 25 Mar '02

25 Mar '02

Below is a copy of the end of my boot log. How do I make it find the sound modules again?If I run /usr/sbin/rcalsasound status, I get a return stating that it is running. Is this something different or what? Harry G Mar 23 13:47:55 linux kernel: Switching off penguin.

Re: [SLE] There is something up with my fonts
by Cincai Patron 25 Mar '02

Hi, I think you'll need most of them (sorry I'm not bringing my laptop right now, I'm using winbox). Just: 1. Download everything in the ftp site. 2. Type "rpm -qa|grep x|sort > xlist.txt". Find each entry in xlist.txt that match with rpm-binary you download. On my system, I think there're 7 or 8 packages (I didn't install rpm for x print server). Then just update each packages with "rpm --nodeps --force -Uvh <package_name>". 3. In addition, you need to install the rpm with "compat" word. 4. restart x. Hope that helps. -- Verdi March -- --- Phil Shrimpton <phil(a)shrimpton.co.uk> wrote: > On Sunday 24 March 2002 18:13, you wrote: > > Hi, > > > I had problems with font also.

Kernel log oddities in boot log.
by Brian Durant 25 Mar '02

25 Mar '02

Hi again, I spotted some oddities in the kernel log after having recompiled my kernel for ACPI support. Here are the changes I made to the kernel: Start up menuconfig or xconfig. In General Setup Power management ACPI Support set Y ACPI Bus management set Y System set Y Processor set Y Is there a kind soul out there that has the patience to look through my kernel log (at boot) to help a SuSE newbie to understand what is going on?? Cheers, Brian

OT - Mail Servers
by Jerry Van Brimmer 25 Mar '02

25 Mar '02

If an ISP has "mail.ispxxx.com" for it's POP server, and "mail.isp.xxxx.com" for it's SMTP server, does that mean they only have ONE server for all mail, incoming and outgoing? That sounds a little dangerous to me; the cheap way out. -- Rev. 1:7 ; Registered Linux User #153217

Mozilla .0.9.9 problems
by Joe & Sesil Morris (NTM) 25 Mar '02

25 Mar '02

Is it just me or my setup, or is .9.9 worse than .9.8? I have found so many problems with .9.9's mail program I decided to go back to .9.8. It was more stable for me. Not a comforting thought as we near 1.0. :-( -- Joe & Sesil Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris(a)ntm.org Web Address: http://www.mydestiny.net/~joe_morris Registered Linux user 231871
