ethernet card for notebook
by steve 31 May '02

31 May '02

Hi We want to put a notebook into our 8.0 served lan from time to time. I can't find anything in the docs to point to how I can stick a RJ45 cable from our hub into a notebook. Is it the pcmcia stuff? Thanks in advance, could save me a lot of reading. Steve.

re: [SLE] Barcode Scanner
by Greg Freemyer 31 May '02

Barcode scanners are normally pretty dumb. I've never used the QuickLink, but I would be surprised if it is not like the others. Basically you configure them by actually scanning commands into them from the config. manual. Once configured, they typically scan a bar code, make a beep, and send out a small ascii stream. cat /dev/?? > /tmp/file Should be a truly simple way to capture the output. BTW: Historically in UNIX there was an option to cat to run unbuffered. This allowed commands like the above to work even if there were no newlines. I don't see that in the man page for SuSE, so you might have to write a simple c program or something instead of using cat.

Win4Lin
by dh 31 May '02

31 May '02

Please feel free to reply off list if you feel this is off topic. W/ all the talk of codeweavers lately I was curious about peoples experience w/ win4lin on SuSE linux 7.2. I currently run a dual boot but don't much like havinfg to leave linux just to run a win app. Last night my daughter was working on a report for her 5th grade class, she muddled through w/ linux but I knew that she knew there was a win program that would have made her particular task so much easier. (ms Publisher) Thanks for your thoughts -- dh I've been awake: 1 hours 10 minutes Suse Linux 7.2 professional kernel 2.4.17, xFree86 4.2.0, kde 2.2.2

diskless clients
by steve 31 May '02

31 May '02

Is it a possibility with 8.0? Like at the moment our ageing p266's also under 8.0 are really slow. They share their files but is there any way that we could run programs like OOo from the server as if they didn't have their own disks? And if so would it be any faster? Any pointers to docs or anyone who has tried? Thanks, Steve.

Hi Dre, Landy, Dre: > rpm -qlp > rpm -qip > try that against a rpm file Landy: > rpm -qpl package "-qip" gives me information about the package and "-qpl/-qlp" gives me a lot of information about where files are stored so thanks for that. What I still don't know is whwere the menu link will go (if indeed it evne creates one?)? James James C.

Hi James, > Ghost can do it, but it's really slow. I like Systemimager: > http://www.systemimager.org It is indeed slow! There's three downloads (that appear to be applicable there ...

So you just install it on Linux and run it? Or do you use a boot disk? Is it limited to waht it can copy? (EXT2/3, ReiserFS, FAT, NTFS)? > I'm still using 1.4, but I understand that 2.0 has all kinds of neat configuration stuff. OK :-) James C.

I rebooted and all was OK. Before I was dropping down to init 0 and then back up to 5 again. Rebooting must do something different. Thanks for your patience and yes, the krell chart is wonderful when finally the word 'sensors' shows! Steve. -------------------------------------------------------

(little OT): Compaq dead
by Leen de Braal 31 May '02

31 May '02

I am having a problem with a Compaq EP (P667). First it stopped booting, keeping Compaq logo screen, displaying F10 to setup. Pushing F10 blanked screen, nothing further. I have taken out CMos battery, and pushed the reset button on the mobo. At this moment even pushing the powerbutton brings nothing. Mobo seems to have powersupply, there is a led burning on the mobo, networkcard also seems to be alive. Already checked powerswitch, nothing wrong with that. Do I have to buy a new PC??? Gtz L1
