Hi Lester, > I'm using fou4s ( www.gaugusch.at/fou4s/ ) and that works > fine - rpm installed first time on 8.0 and ran from the box > - using the proxy setting YOU ignores. Can you tell me what your settings are because I am having as much trouble running fou4s as I am running YOU (& apt4rpm for that matter) despite some significant help from peopel aparently involved in the projects. Do you know what kind of proxy you are using? James C.

I e-mail SuSE on this and they told me that YOU DOES NOT work via proxy, they said (somewhat tersely I felt): "Yast Online Update does not support connecting via proxy servers." I asked for clarification WRT to why there are proxy settings in YOU and received no reply nor do I expect one now ... personally, whilst I highly rate the SuSE knowledgebase & the advice of SuSE staff on this list, I am not over-impressed with SuSE Installation Support (which was a big part of why I bought SuSE over other distro's).

[SLE] Newbie: PCMCIA (Neteasy) and Network Unreachable
by Chris Kellett 28 Jun '02

28 Jun '02

Hello all, I'm trying to get my laptop (Gateway Solo 2150) onto the internet (via a local network) using a Neteasy by D-Link DRP-32TXD Cardbus PC Card. I installed SuSE Linux 8.0 and went through YaST2. It didn't detect the PC Card, so I configured an undetected card with all the necessary material (IP address, gateway, DNS server, search domain, host name) supplied by my system administrator. (With this material, I'm up and on the network under the Evil Empire, so I've eliminated the sysadmin as the source of my problems!) When I try to ping a known computer on the LAN, I get "network unreachable" (same for trying to telnet). Using <<cardctl ident>> I can see the card in the socket. When I look at the hardware description under YaST2 I show no network devices (other than the loopback), but under PCI devices I show the Neteasy card, with all the relevant data, including the fact that it is a network card! On the mobilix site I've seen that most of the D-Link cards work with the pcnet_cs driver, and it also shows one of the Neteasy cards working with this driver, so in my /etc/pcmcia/config file, I added the card, with manfid, and bind pcnet_cs. I've fiddled with half a dozen other parameters (and changing them back to their defaults after verifying the change didn't help), and am uncertain how to proceed. (By the way, the card claims to be Linux compatible, but the fact that I bought it in part based on that claim simply shows how naive I am!) Looking at the relevant portions of the /var/log/messages file (which I've excerpted at the end of this message), the item that jumped out at me was /etc/hotplug/pci.agent: ... no modules for PCI slot 02:00.0 (that, and the fact that I have no idea what "sit-pcmcia" is.) Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Re: [SLE] Want to fax from a modem on a Windows Network box...(how good are you?)

Hi Tom, > Before I switched over to Linux I was using W2k and Winfax.

I don't know about WinFax specifically but I know it is possible on Windows to set up a Fax Print queue which can then be sahred so, in principle at least, you shoukd be able to print to a share queue ... hope that helps :-) James C.

I'm sure this has been covered numerous times, so what's one more??? How, if I can, install Windows fonts into my system? Thru KDE? I have about 170 fonts, but under KDE font installer, I don't see them all. I have a feeling I can't use them all. Thanks, Tom

No Sound in KWinTV Video Clips
by Bryan Tyson 28 Jun '02

28 Jun '02

When I save avi files from KWinTV, the sound is not saved. I get a silent video avi. I select the option to "Capture avi video + audio" in KWinTV and "record" is clicked on the line-in of KMix. Still no sound. Sound is completely working on all other aspects of this system. I can record wavs from line-in if connecting a portable tape player, for example. Yet if I try to record an avi from KWinTV all I get is silent video. The sound card is a Creative PCI 512, and I have the same problem when using a Creative PCI 128. Does anyone have an idea what the problem is? Thank you. *************************************************** Powered by SuSE Linux 7.3 Professional KDE 2.2.1 KMail 1.3.1 This is a Microsoft-free computer Bryan S.

Fonts (truetype?) can't be read in Star Office 5.2
by Kurt R. Rahlfs 28 Jun '02

28 Jun '02

This may be a Star Office problem but from what I can find at Sun's Star Office site they say the fonts are taken from the font directories that X uses. So I'm trying here. Besides there community here seems to be one of the best working ones I've found on the Net. The font look OK in kword and in konqueror and semi-OK in netscape. The problem seems to be only in Star Office's text document editor. The fonts were fine and I had a problem when I did a Yast Online Update and did several things there to get back to running and this is the only thing I can't seem to get fixed. I have removed SO and reinstalled it (ala Windows) but that didn't fix the problem. Any ideas on were to look to fix the problem? -- Kurt R.
