audiogalaxy once more
by Dirk Schlangen 31 Mar '02

31 Mar '02

Hint: englich version below! Hallo! Das Thema wurde zwar schon in der vergangenen Woche diskutiert, aber da ich weiterhin mit dem Programm Schwierigkeiten habe, hier noch mal die Problematik: Ich habe mich auf der Homepage von Audiogalaxy angemeldet und das Programm installiert. Folgendermaßen sieht meine account.txt aus: benutzername password Folgendermaßen sieht meine .shares.txt aus: /home/user/audiogalaxy/ Wenn ich das Programm auf der Konsole starte (mit ASatellite-static) dann scheint das Programm zu connecten. Ich kann auch auf der Homepage unter meinem Account sehen, dass einige Tracks den Status 'processing' haben. Diesen Status verlieren die 'angeforderten' Files aber nach etwa 1 bis 2 Minuten wieder und gehen 'offline'. Das Programm beendet sich selbst. Den Status 'transferring' erreichen die in Frage kommenden Dateien nicht. Komischerweise bemerkt der Satellite keine Files, die zum Tausch unter /home/user/audiogalaxy/ liegen. (Satellite meldet auf der Homepage 'You have no songs in your shared directory.' obwohl das eigentlich nicht stimmen kann. Diese Meldung gibt es natürlich nur, solage der Satellite läuft. Nach einiger Zeit geht der Satellite offensichtlich offline und diese 'Meldung' erscheint dann auch auf der Homepage. Vielleicht habe ich meine .shares.txt nicht richtig eingerichtet? Welche Fehler könnte ich sonst noch gemacht haben? Wäre für Hinweise wirklich dankbar. Grüße Dirk Hello! I guess this topic was already discussed last week, but I still have some problems with audiogalaxy: I have registrated a valid account on the homepage (www.audiogalaxy.com) and installed the AG-Satellite. My account.txt file seems to be alright: username password But I'm not sure wheater my .shares.txt is valid. It looks like this: /home/user/audiogalaxy/ When I start the programm on the konsole (AGSatellite-static), the client seems to connect because I can see some requested files on the audiogalaxy-homepage having the status 'processing'. After a while, this status is changed to 'offline' and the satellite seems to be offline / and the program itself terminates. I have one file in the directory /home/user/audiogalaxy/ to share, but the web-interface does not show this. Has anyone an idea? Dirk

"Hotswapping" IDE hard drives
by Glen Goldsmith 31 Mar '02

31 Mar '02

I keep seeing bits and pieces here and there about this is possible, but haven't seen any definitive guides out there. Other than, it isn't possible w/o frying hardware. I know this is poppycock, since I'm doing it in windows 98 w/ a software package called swap manager. It really isn't hot swapping, but just swapping ide drives w/o rebooting. I've got those handy dandy hard drive mobile racks. Great little things, but I'm using them for backups. And it would be really nice to be able to swap them w/o rebooting. Sure, I know you'd need to umount them fs on them, physically turn the drive off w/ the switch on the case, pull the drive out, insert new drive, power on.. etc. Sounds rather elegant if you ask me.... So anyone out there done any of this? IF so.. how? ;) Glen Goldsmith

zaurus pda

can anyone confirm if it is true that you need windows to sync the zaurus pda and to upgrade software into it? (sounds absurd from sharp they would make a linux pda to only sync with windows

Hi, Is there any possible for me to install suse from Harddisk with the interface of graphical Yast2, just like the one on SuSE CD installation?? Or, where can I get it (linuxrc from cdrom boot)? Is it legistimate for people to hand out the linuxrc from the cost version of suse? For people who download suse from ftp are capabled to make their own version of suse installation ISO with graphical Yast2 installation possible. Thanks for answering / helping. jsc

Newbie compiling kernel.
by Brian Durant 31 Mar '02

31 Mar '02

After my experience (or lack there of) ;-) with trying to compile the current kernel, I decided that I would try to summarize the commands so that it can be used when (not if) the question comes up again on the list. While it is good refering to the manual or MAN pages, the best solution always is to have a simple, concise presentation for newbies, so they (I) don't have to go looking around 10 different bloody places. Below are a list of the commands in order. Anyone care to add commentary to them for the archive or so that one of us can pull it out of the hat when the question comes up next time? cd /usr/src/linux make cloneconfig make xconfig or make menuconfig #do your changes# make dep make clean make bzImage make bzlilo mk_initrd lilo cd /lib/modules cp -a 2.4.4-4GB 2.4.4-4GB.backup Cheers, Brian

Auto-update
by James Worrest 31 Mar '02

31 Mar '02

Usually I use either the manual update or I have just downloaded the fixed files from a ftp site put them on a CD-ROM and upgrade by using the RPM program in KDE. I have been tempted to use the auto-update of YAST2 to the SuSE ftp site, but it usually warns me that it's going to take many hours to do this. Is there anyway to see, easily, what the patches you need and use the manual mode, or just turn on the auto-update mode before I go to bed and then when I get up see if the computer is still running? I would hope that it could determine what I needed without running hours on end. Anyway, I would like to know if any of you have solved this problem with 7.3 or if there is a problem? ---Jim

enlightenment
by Tamara Abbey 30 Mar '02

30 Mar '02

O.k., I'm trying enlightenment and I could not find it on the SuSE 7.3 personal set, so I downloaded all the rpms and I guess they're installed now. So, how do I run it? (and, I think, after a week, I am actually starting to have a little fun with this 8-)) TIA <tamara />
