Fwd: Chat Script: NO CARRIER
by tom r 02 Jun '02

02 Jun '02

Hi All, One of my routers is giving me a weird error. I'm setting up a dial out capability using pppd with ppp-on and ppp-off scripts. The weirdness occurs when I try to dial out. The first time the script connects flawlessly. The second connection attempt fails when Chat reports 'NO CARRIER'. The odd thing is it never even tried to dial. As I understand it, 'NO CARRIER' is error that occurs when the modem on the other end hangs up unexpectedly. Why would I get a 'NO CARRIER' error before the connection is even made. If I retry the connection attempt, it agains work flawlessly. The only clue I have is that the first connect leaves the HS indicator lit on my USR V.everything modem when it hangs up. Then the second attempt fails but does manage to turn off HS. The the third attempt works fine. Can someone give some clue as to what's happening here? Thanks.

OT : Unified Linux
by Ben Rosenberg 02 Jun '02

02 Jun '02

My only comment on UnitedLinux is WHY/WHO told Ransom Love to be the spokesman for this. I think it would have had a warmer reception if one of the SuSE'ers were the spokesperson and they spoke Ancient Greek only. This guy is going to ended up doing for UnitedLinux what he did for Caldera.. *sigh* -=Ben --=====-----=====-- mailto:ben@whack.org --=====-- If it's true that our species is alone in the universe, then I'd have to say that the universe aimed rather low and settled for very little. -GC --=====-----=====--

kde/x-user-shutdown

Hi! Is there a nice solution for allowing normal users (perhaps with special permission) to allow shutdowns from KDE3 (or general x-window) with some kind of "shutdown"-button or do I have to write a (sudo)-skript or what can I do? Bye. da_bug(a)gmx.net

RE: [SLE] SuSE to band together with Caldera, Turbolinux, and Con ectiva?
by Alleman, Lowell 02 Jun '02

02 Jun '02

I agree. This has a potential to be really big for the Linux community. IMHO: Right now I think that there are too many "major" distros, as far as general-purpose distros go. There are probably 5-10 distros in this category. Choice is a good thing, but its a little overwhelming for newbies. I think maybe 2-4 major distros would be a lot easier to choose from and yet provided the flexibility and product distinction that users want. I agree that this joint effort will most likely provide a number of standards. Wide-spread standards will be a big push forward for Linux--making it more attractive to both corporate and home consumers. If these companies are going to offer us a more unified distro that combines the technical expertise of 4 large distros companies into a single product (or even multiple products), then I say "more power to you!" > -----Original Message----- > From: eric.linux(a)t-online.de [SMTP:eric.linux@t-online.de] > Sent: Wednesday, May 29, 2002 12:41 PM > To: Brian W.

Routing Problems in SuSE8.0
by Jethro Cramp 01 Jun '02

01 Jun '02

I am having big problems setting up a small network under SuSE8.0 Everything was fine until I got my isdn connection working beside my DSL connection. Then as far as I can tell the routing tables went to hell. I would describe what I've done but I've fiddled so much that it's a mess, so I'm going to describe what I want to achieve and pray that someone can tell me what I should be doing and where I should be doing things. I've got two computer 'beast' and 'laptop'. Beast has two ethernet cards - one connected to the local lan and the other connected to my broadband connection (PPPoE). I want the local network setup on net 192.168.15.0. The ips are: beast 192.168.15.2 laptop 192.168.15.8 At the moment they can't see (ping) one another. The PPPoE connection works, almost regardless of what I do with the eth0 and eth1, even when I delete them! I want to setup so that beast and laptop so that they can see one another so I can mount NFS etc. and setup the beast as a gateway for laptop for the internet. This was all working a few days ago. For what it's worth the output of route (with the ppp0) connection is: Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 61.48.57.254 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0 192.168.15.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 loopback * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo default 61.48.57.254 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 ppp0 With the ppp0 connection closed the output of route is: Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.15.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 loopback * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo As I say I've fiddled so much I've gone around in circles and am no longer clear on anything. Help much appreciated, Jethro -------------------------------------------------------

Lost Green Screen
by Keith Jacobs 01 Jun '02

01 Jun '02

When I first installed SuSE8 I had a nice green screen surounding the system loading text, also on a green background, which was black. I now have a full screen with a black background to the the text which is mostly white except for the words "Done". Where has this nice screen gone and how do I get it back?

Hi Stuart, > As far as I know, there is no Linux RDP (i.e. native MS TS) client. I > heard RDP4 had been reverse engineered by SCO, but don't know about > RDP5.

I was aware of the Citrix client (I support Citrix, server-side at work) but, if it's that good, I ought to investigate it under Linux ... I'll wait until I'm a bit more au fait with it though first.

Open Office 1.0 experiences
by Jerry Feldman 01 Jun '02

01 Jun '02

I installed Open Office 1.0 last week with no problems. However, when I created my lesson slides for my class on Tuesday, I created html and PowerPoint. I did not really like the html output, but it was ok. The PowerPoint output was horrible. Most of the slides were blank. I subsequently ran Star Office 5.2, and exported to PowerPoint and all the slides came out as expected. Another thing I did not like about OO is that on StarOffice 5.2, I could bring up multiple documents and align them vertically or horizontally on the desktop for easy cutting and pasting. (Normally I create a new lesson but I also recycle some slides from previous classes). Open Office create new windows. Just a minor annoyance. However, I did prefer the fonts on Open Office to Star Office 5.2. -- Jerry Feldman Enterprise Systems Group Hewlett-Packard Company 200 Forest Street MRO1-3/F1 Marlboro, Ma. 01752 508-467-4315 http://www.testdrive.compaq.com/linux/
