In 7.3 there were two - incompatible printing systems; so you might have to change this. This could be part of the problem. We have been going at this so long, I have a hard time remembering ;-) YAST 2 says that the 7.3 Pro version of CUPS is 1.1.10-25 and not installed, but I installed CUPS 1.1.14 from source early on in this odessy. YAST 2 does state that CUPS-libs 1.1.10-25 is installed. - Now start YaST2 and add the new printer. It's probably wise to delete - any old printer settings first, assuming you're not going to connect two - printers. Here, I'm guessing a bit because I can't remember how YaST2 - worked under 7.3, but I think you can add the printer and YaST2 will - detect the configuration file that you installed with gimp-print. You - should also choose a CUPS printer. Deleted the old printer settings. CUPS doesn't list the Epson C80, so I aborted the configuration. Cheers, Brian

enabling dma
by Shawn Tanner 31 May '02

31 May '02

I have been unable to enable DMA on my DVD drive which is attached to the primary ide as with nothing else. I have tried enabling it using the DMA module in the hardware section of Yast 2 and I have tried adding hda to the "FORCE_DMA_ON" section in the sysconfig editor and neither method has worked. I get the error message "dev/dev: Input/output error. mount: I could not determine the filesystem type, and none was specified. I AM able to enable DMA on my cdr which is attached to the secondary IDE as the master with an Iomega zip as the slave and can mount it successfully. I previously have had Mandrake 8.2 and Gentoo installed and DMA was enabled by default and worked for this drive. In gentoo all I had to do was make sure that support for my via chipset was compiled into the kernal and DMA was utilized automatically. I don't undersand why I can't get dma to work in Suse. Please help so I don't have to go back to Mandrake. I would go back to Gentoo but it is too much work. thanks

Files '.bayonne.nodes, .bayonne.sched, .xftcache'
by Oliver Fuchs 31 May '02

Hi, i recognized these files in my main directory /: .bayonne.nodes .bayonne.sched .xftcache I was wondering why the application Bayonne (GNU telephonie) is writing these config files in my main directory? Should it not be in /var/bayonne? Also why is the file .xftcache stored here? Oliver -- WARNING! POISON! BREATHING THE VAPOR, SKIN OR EYE CONTACT, OR SWALLOWING THE FRUIT CAN KILL YOU!

man1 for root only - am I the only one with this setting?
by Robert Storey 31 May '02

31 May '02

A weird problem, not hard to solve, but still weird... As a (non-root) user, I couldn't access any man(1) pages. These are the man pages for mostly system-level commands, but pretty common utilities like "ls" and "grep". Anyway, the problem was simply that, by default, SuSE had made these settings: bob@sonic:> ls -dl /usr/share/man/man1 drwxr--r-- 2 root root 28672 May 30 15:00 /usr/share/man/man1 As you see, directory /usr/share/man/man1 does not give execute permissions to anyone but root. All the other man pages (man2 through man9) had execute permissions for everybody. The problem is easily solved by having root execute a command: "chmod +x /usr/share/man/man1". What I don't understand is why SuSE 8.0 would have made this setting by default (it wasn't the case in previous versions I've used). A newbie unfamiliar with chmod would likely be blown away. Am I the only one who has this problem? I swear, I didn't change the default settings and I only installed SuSE 8.0 about three days ago. - Robert

Is this CUPS? my settings in the Gimp at least were correct for the printer. I have tried using Webmin, but the C80 driver isn't listed even after install of Gimp-Print. YAST 2 doesn't list it either, but says something about another non-YAST 2 printer setup existing. Anyone using Webmin have a word of advice? - Did you get gimp to work? The advantage is that it uses gimp-print - directly and so you can be sure there's no problem with CUPS. Still stuck with the paper being spit out. - I've had this kind of problem once. I got page after page with some - garbled text on the first line and nothing else. This happened when I - changed to a new printer. I think the solution was to delete (or rename - - that way you can go back) .lpotions and .gimp-1.2 from my home - directory, then go into cups and remove the printer entirely and start - again. This is greek to me. You mean I now have to delete CUPS and The GIMP and reinstall to get this to work? I know this isn't your fault, but what kind of #¤%* OS is this anyway? We have been working on this for how long now and I have to redo 2/3 of what has already been done to be able to maybe get this to work? Cheers, Brian

Well, I did get the 3D "enabled" as such but I haven't gotten anything to actually run using it. Everything that uses 3D just crashes. I did learn from Patrick that switching to run level 3 and then moving the XF86Config file to a .old or something so that SaX2 can create a fresh one works pretty well. -- See Ya' Howard Coles Jr. John 3:16!
