Re: [SLE] CrossOver Office with SuSE Linux
by David Johanson 30 Mar '02

Chad - Did as you instructed but during the setup of xover office, after completing the install of office 2000 (windows update finishes), I get the xover dialog which reads Installation Report. This is the dialogue where you set the associations of dozens of file types. After selecting the associations (I did this a second time after removing xover and 2000 started over) I pressed the OK button. Instead of it bouncing back up and the install proeeding, everything came to a full stop, nothing more worked, the computer started beeping every 2 seconds - just as it does during boot while trying to locate my SCSI controller - and I have to reboot to stop the beeping and get my system back. This is not a system crash as I can log out and back in but this process does not stop the 2 second interval beeping; only the reboot does that. I can also run other programs while in X but the install is completly hung. I looked at the faq page and thought that item 5.1.4 might be associated with the problem - bad font somewhere - but trying to run that script results in the cursor just sitting at the end of the command; pressing return resilts in a command not found reply as shown below. root@linux:/home/dcjohan > $ ~/cxoffice/bin/uninstaller --cx-log font.log --debugmsg +font -- cursor sits after the word font-- <cr> gives bash: $: command not found root@linux:/home/dcjohan > Any thoughts? dave Chad Whitten wrote: > > as root run > sh install-crossover-office-1.0.0.sh > > it will install and then after the crossover plugin is installed you can pop > your office cd in your drive, fire up the crossover plugin and install office. > > On Friday 29 March 2002 21:34, you wrote: > > Chad - > > > > How do you install this program.

Re: [SLE] sound modules inserted twice

Hi, yes, my comp. is a notebook. And the problem was: sometimes it happened, sometimes didn't. But most of the time it happened. I just upgrade to KDE 2.2.2, and so far it doesn't happen. But I'll just keep watching until I'm really sure the problem has disappeared. -- Verdi March -- --- scsijon-net2000 <scsijon(a)net2000.com.au> wrote: > I had that happen when built my current notebook and fixed when > deleted the > offending lines somewhere, they was "insmoding the sound card" TWICE > instead of just once (sorry I just don't remember where BUT IT WASN'T > this > file), there was a note in the linux-on-laptops website about this > problem > and the 2.4.x kernal I think and it wasn't just suse specific. > > scsijon > > At 09:19 PM 3/27/02 -0800, you wrote: > >Hi, > > > >every time I logon to KDE, the xconsole display this: > >Mar 28 00:15:05 <machine_name> insmod: insmod: insmod > sound-service-0-0 > >failed > >Mar 28 10:36:30 <machine_name> insmod: insmod: insmod > sound-service-0-0 > >failed > > > >I've checked /etc/modules.conf, and it contains these entries: > >1. alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 > >2. alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss > >3. alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss > >4. alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss > >5. alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss > >6. alias sound-service-0-11 snd-mixer-oss > >7. alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss > > > >I've tried to comment out line 5,6,7, but problem remains.

copying a vcd with cdrecord
by Constant Brouerius van Nidek 30 Mar '02

30 Mar '02

Somebody has copied some of my videos (VHS Pal) on cd's which I now want to copy. I have finally been successful with burning a cd full with jpg files with cdrecord. KONCD and other gui programs all protested so much so that I worked over the console. How can I make a copy of the vcd? Do I need to copy the contents first on the hd? and what should the command for cdrecord be. I have used "cdrecord -v dev=0,0,0 speed=2 /target-dir/files.iso" for the transfer of the iso image to the cd.

SuSE7.3, USB and OfficeJet printer problems
by Juan Rayas 30 Mar '02

30 Mar '02

Hello, I'm new to linux. I just installed SuSE7.3. Installation went very well. YaST2 correctly detected my USB OfficeJet printer; however, the printer doesn't respond to any print requests. I looked at SuSE's online database and added the two missing directories: /dev/ptal-mlcd and /dev/ptal-printd. I also modified /etc/rc.config to include the following line: INITRD_MODULES="reiserfs usbcore usb-uhci". So far, nothing seems to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. P.S. does anyone know if this problem is corrected in version 8.0? Thanks.
