Scientific s/w
by Maura Edelweiss Monville 04 Jul '02

04 Jul '02

I've just installed SuSE 8.0. I'm interested in all s/w packages available on SuSE installation kit and from the network. Particularly I'm looking for tools for plotting (version 7.3 had "kpl"), tools for solving algebraic as well as Ordinary and Partial Differential Equations, tools for dealing with stochastic and deterministic simulations. Could you please help me with the selection of the right s/w packages rather than wildly installing everything ??? Thank you in advance. Best regards, Maura E.M.

samba versus nt4 question with conf file
by De Croes, Francis 04 Jul '02

04 Jul '02

Hello Guru's, Now first off all, I'm an absolute beginner, so please bear me if I sound silly. I ran 6.1 for a long time, just for file services in the past and jumped to 8.0 just a few weeks ago. So it's all quiet new to me, but I love to learn :) I run linux on a testmachine, just a noble pc (P4-1.7 now, used to be a P133) and it seems to run just fine and accurate in an small NT4 domain. But at this moment I'm having a question on event on this NT side. My event log keeps on filling with lines containing the following: Logon Failure: Reason: Unknown user name or bad password User Name: SAMBATESTW121-0900 Domain: JOZEF Logon Type: 3 Logon Process: KSecDD Authentication Package: MICROSOFT_AUTHENTICATION_PACKAGE_V1_0 Workstation Name: \\W121-0900 It's clearely a samba issue (I think). I'm wondering, is there a user sambatest ? I surely did not create it, so it must be a systemaccount. My question is : how can I stop samba sending these event to the Nt server ? I may be wrong, but I don't recall the event while I was running 6.1 and his version of samba. Can someone please enlight me ? Second question is an I4l, ISDN issue. Has anyone succeeded in installing a Tigerjet ISDN 128 k card ? It is clearely detected by YAST, but it is not possible to select a driver (combobox is grayed out). And I installed the latest downloaded packedges for it. Can someone please give me some advice ? Oh, BTW, just love 8.0 already....

Re: [suse-kde] 8.1?

Something must be up with your particular combination, I fear - I have had almost no problems with 7.3 memory and extended uptimes, often leaving half-a-dozen applications running on KDE2 for days or weeks. I had a smilar issue with the kde 3.0 that came with 8.0, but running top always identified the runaway processes if not the solution (which came with kde3.0.1). Maybe time to go through your process table again? HTH Fergus

Hi, SuSE 8.0, Kde 3 with kppp and kmail. Kmail and Moxilla and Netscape and ... can't find my ISP. I'm not able to browse the web or send/fetch mails. This is from my user account. Kppp seems to be working OK. I can ping localhost and I can ping my ISP OK. In all the messages in /var/log I cannot see any suspicious. Setting up hostname 'xxxxx' Done Setting up loopback interface Done Well, there is one thing. /var/log/mail says: Sendmail[]: gethostbyadr (xxx.xxx.x.x) failed: 2 Any ideas, tips? Thanks, Thomas

Re: [SLE] Mount Devices

When you attempt to examine the contents of the floppy/cd, have you mounted them? If so how? (exact command used please). What have you got in the /etc/fstab for the floppy/cd? If you try to read the contents using the "ls" command what do you see? What error do you get? Kind regards, Simon gberta(a)sympatico.ca wrote: >Maybe I havn't explained myself in proper linux terms, be patient with me. Other linux distros I have used allow me to look at my cd-rom and floppy and their contents from within the konkorer file manager, or from StarOffice, SuSE does not let me. I moved a file from the floppy to my hard drive from the superuser xterm. But I couldn't even see the file from StarOffice or filemanager.

Evolution & Mail Folders (Different)
by James.Rocks＠equant.com 03 Jul '02

03 Jul '02

Hi, I think someone asked something similar to this but I want to put a different question so I changed the title a bit :-) When using Outlook on Windows, I stored my documents and outlook PST's on a network share ... I can access those shares so docs aren't aproblem and I have transferred my mail into Evolution sucessfully. The Evo mail folders are stored under Evolution in my home folder but what I want to know is is there any way that I can put those folders elsewhere i.e. on the network & have Evolution still read them so that if my machine falls apart or hardware fails I have a backed up version on my server? One thought occurs to me is that it might be possible to "kid" Linux into thinking that a mounted share is identical to a folder in other words if I moved the evoltion files to a share then mounted that share onto a folder called Evolution (in my home drive) would Evolution be able to tell the difference?
