Broadxent V.92 PCI Modem DI 3631 & SuSE 8.0?
by Colburn 31 Aug '02

31 Aug '02

Picked up a Broadxent (Creative Labs) V.92 PCI Fax/Modem DI 3631 at Best Buy today ($19.99 after $10. mail-in rebate). Now the challenge is how to coax SuSE 8.0 into talking to it! I have tried YAST to no avail. Using AutoUpdate in hopes of something new at SuSE isn't an option because I have no Linux-friendly modem. Must I head out again, this time to WalMart, to acquire a known Linux-friendly ModemBlaster External DE5265 from Wal-Mart for $35. as recommended by "Phantasm"? Suggestions, please? Thanks! doc

Fonts in Xfig
by Steffen Brinckmann 31 Aug '02

31 Aug '02

Good Morning/ Afternoon/what-ever everybody, I have 7.3 installed, yes I do not install every version, and have problems with xfig. 7.3 seems only to know TimesRoman(for example) up to a size of 14pt. All bigger sizes are mapped down. I know that it is primary connected to the XFree fonts. I toyed around with the fontinstaller and even with something with "ms" in its name. Yes I am really desperate. Does anybody else have this experience. Does anybody even know a solution? That would be really great. Thanks in advance. Steffen ... _...

How can I find unused packages
by Tom Nielsen 31 Aug '02

31 Aug '02

Is there a program that will tell me about all my installed packages and how often I use them? The reason is that when I installed Suse, I put almost everything on my drive. Now that I'm becoming more familiar with the programs, and getting low on space, I'd like to ditch what I don't need, but I want to know if it's been used lately.

mozilla themes
by H du Plooy 31 Aug '02

Hi, I downloaded a couple of Mozilla themes, but I saved the .jar files rather than installing it directly, so that I can install it in both windows and linux without having to download it twice. Now, how do I invoke the installer? Just clicking on the .jar files doesn't do anything Thanks Hans == Find businesses and have your business found: http://www.brabys.com

That is a possibility that I really don't like ;-(. What did you do? Dump the motherboard? Or is there a solution? Can remeber to have read from a feller who excluded bad segments of ram. Could I exclude faulty address from my memory if there would be a fault with the slot. I would rather have a defect in my swap ;-).

This morning I found time to swap the two memory sticks which did not so;ve the problem. From a friend I just got one 128 Mb stick which he said was okay and I got the same result. So right now I assume that my swap area is corrupted. How do I check and repair that. Also with fcheck? malloc() is the memory allocator. In a C program, malloc() resides in libc and allocates memory for the application. This particular problem appears to be caused by an I/O error while loading a critical program (possibly /sbin/init). <big snip> Lastly, but not likely, you could possibly have a problem with your disk. Remember virtual memory. Physical memory is broken up into pages. It is possible that there was some swapping going on during the load, and there is some corruption in the swap area.

I have setup the firewall via YAST, but it seems it allows only settings for TCP and not for UDP. Where can I set ports for UDP ? bye Ronald
