Re: [SLE] SuSE help-center: How do I adjust font size? Need help.
by Max Webb 19 Sep '02

19 Sep '02

First, thank for your help and suggestions. Whether or not the SuSE help center fonts are determined by the KDE Control Center's font module is uncertain. Definitely, I know that it is using a different font set than the ones I have chosen for all fonts from the options in the KDE control center. Furthermore, in all other instances the fonts under my KDE setup are correctly displayed at large size of 14 points. There must be a config file somewhere to specify the default size or magnification of the SuSE control centers fonts. So again, I pose the questions: I truly love Linux and SuSE. They are the greatest. I have a small problem though. How do I adjust the font size in SuSE help-center? I know I can enlarge the view of the help center with the magnifying glass icon, but I have to do that every time it start the help center. There must be a way to more permanently change the size of the fonts. Perhaps there is a config file somewhere I can edit? Anyone with the solution please reply.

BIND 9 only knows global IP but doesn't know internal LAN IP whose private IP
by Prabu Subroto 19 Sep '02

19 Sep '02

I have a LAN for my office. I use only one ISDN line as the internet access for my LAN users. As the gateway I use 1 machine. This machine (named "proxy") has squid (as proxy server), BIND9 (as DNS server) and SuSE Firewall 2. As the operating is SuSE Linux 8. Now, I want my BIND9 works not only for "caching service" but also as DNS server for my LAN. So the user machine can also use only name not always IP number. I have re-configured "/etc/named.conf" file and defined my domain. my zone file is "duisburg.lam-ag.zone". I can launch my BIND9 but it works strange. it's ridiculous because my BIND9 only knows the IP address from outside of my LAN but not the IP address in my internal LAN domain (duisburg.lam-ag.de). Looks like my BIND9 can not understand my zone definition list. But I don't know where the mistake. Here is my "/etc/named.conf" and "/var/named/duisburg.lam-ag.zone" files. Please help me.

DVD and CD-Burner

Hi. In my SuSE 8.0 system I have a DVD and a CD-Burner. The DVD is hdc and the CD-Burner is hdd. If I want to mount the DVD from the desktop, I have to put in hdd=ide-scsi. If I want to install from Yast2, I have to erase the hdd=ide-scsi. Would be glad, if I do not have to do that "circus" every time. Here my lilo.conf: boot = /dev/hda change-rules reset read-only menu-scheme = Wg:kw:Wg:Wg lba32 prompt timeout = 80 message = /boot/message image = /boot/vmlinuz label = linux root = /dev/hda7 vga = 791 initrd = /boot/initrd append = "hdd=ide-scsi " #Here I do put in hdc=ide-scsi as mentioned. image = /boot/vmlinuz.suse label = failsafe root = /dev/hda7 vga = 791 initrd = /boot/initrd.suse append = "ide=nodma apm=off acpi=off hdd=ide-scsi" optional other = /dev/hda1 label = windows image = /boot/memtest.bin label = memtest86 My fstab file: /dev/hda7 / reiserfs defaults 1 2 /dev/hda5 /boot ext2 defaults 1 2 /dev/cdrecorder /media/cdrecorder auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0 /dev/dvd /media/dvd auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 /dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto noauto,user,sync 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 usbdevfs /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs noauto 0 0 /dev/hda1 /windows/C vfat noauto,user 0 0 /dev/hda6 swap swap pri=42 0 0 Is there one or more of you, that can see whats wrong ??. -- Med venlig hilsen - Best regards - VY73 de OZ4KK Erik Jakobsen - erik(a)urbakken.dk SuSE Linux 8.0 Professional Registered as user #114875 with the Linux Counter.

Multiple NICs
by h g 18 Sep '02

18 Sep '02

I can't seem to find a definitive answer to something that's been on my todo list for a while/ On "Intel" type systems how exactly are the ethX numbers assigned when probing? If, for example, it is done by the MAC address (lowest being first, etc) then the problem arises when a nic has to be replaced or added. If it is done by slot position then which device does the motherboard nic become? TIA Henry -- When I discovered Linux I also discovered that I didn't need Microsoft anymore.

Hi, You might try to email them to check if they ship to Sweden: post(a)linuxbutikken.no They had all the SuSE 8.0 packages, so I suppose they will have all the 8.1's too. I don't know if they are related to linuxbutiken.se, but I would not think so, looks like linuxbutiken.se has become http://www.geekonline.net/. Regards, Jostein

Re: [SLE] How to access Windows Network file systems and Printers from Linux

Using LinNeighborhood I could see all computers in the accessible workgroup of the network. But I couldn't mount printers. (is it the problem with the name eg: hp 2200; there is space in between). Using Yast I tried to Install printers but the relavant server names are not there. I manually tried to put the IP address, name, etc for the server and and the printer, but I couldn't print.

GOOD UPS news!
by Fred A. Miller 18 Sep '02

18 Sep '02

Some have wanted to know what UPS to get, and software. Well, I have a recommendation. I bought a Belkin "Universal VA1200 VA" today for $159.00 from Staples. It's a VERY nice unit, well made, supports serial and USB, and comes with Bulldog software for all flavors of 'Bloze AND Linux! I connected it via serial and installed the software. Guess what.....it works VERY well with SuSE 8.0! Fred -- "DRM.. Digitally Retarded Media. That's exactly what it is - content that cannot reach its full potential because of artificial restraints."

How do I get access to win2k server?
by Tom Nielsen 18 Sep '02

18 Sep '02

I know most of today's chat has been spent on the Suse 8.1 release, but I'd like to bring up another topic I need help in... I have a win2k server that I need access to. Currently I can access it through my Super User File Manager only. I can't put files from Konq as user: Tom. The drive is mounted on my root directory /mnt/win. Could this be the problem? I want to be able to put, get and work on files from there. Any thoughts? Thanks! -- Tom Nielsen Neuro Logic Systems 805.389.5435 x18 www.neuro-logic.com
