Re: [SLE] Updating KDE for SuSE 8.1

> Better is to use rpm -Fvh *.rpm, which will only update the packages you have installed, plus any needed for dependencies. that's right. I will add another section to the current FAQ to describe the rpm -Fhv *.rpm stuff ! stefan >Can I just put all the RPMS from the various directories ( base, applications etc ) in the same >directory and update using yast from there? > You can put them all in the same directory. I don't know about using yast for multiple packages, but IIWY I would use an xterm and rpm -Fvh *.rpm, you will see all the messages that may be shown, any errors, etc. I know before (8.0) yast couldn't do multiple packages from the command line, but it could have changed. -- Joe Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris(a)ntm.org Web Address: http://www.mydestiny.net/~joe_morris Registered Linux user 231871 God said, I AM that I AM.

Can Linux be a Windows Log server?
by Greg Freemyer 01 Oct '03

01 Oct '03

I know how to setup a UNIX/Linux log server and have the other boxes forward their logs to it. Can Windows boxes be setup to forward their logs to a Linux box? Does Windows even have the concept of configurable logging? Does my question even make sense? Greg -- Greg Freemyer

Reinstalled Suse 8.2 three times. Syslog Services fail to load properly each time. Rebooted several times and I get the same thing. Is this a problem with the cd? Checked your archives first for an answer, but its daunting. Thanks William Need a new email address that people can remember Check out the new EudoraMail at http://www.eudoramail.com

using CPIO to backup from the output of a file
by Damian Buckley 01 Oct '03

01 Oct '03

Hello, I have two seperate directories I wish to backup on the linux system /home and /usr. I don't seem to be able to find a way to enter the correct path in the crontab so I decided to create a script which takes the contents of /home and inputs it into a file, then append the file with the input of the /usr directory. What I now need to know is how can I get the cpio command to acknowledge this log file and backup all the filenames entered in there??? Somebody please help. Cheers Damian Buckley

Quicktime
by Jesse Purdom 01 Oct '03

01 Oct '03

Hello list, Is it at all possible to run Quicktime under SuSE Linux? I am running SuSE v8.0 Pro. I checked Apple.com and there does not appear to be a download for Linux, just Mac/Windoze. Is there an application available for Linux which can handle Quicktime files? Thanks! Jesse

[SLE] problems with SBC DSL Internet
by Casey Petersen 01 Oct '03

01 Oct '03

I'm a linux newbie, and I've just signed up for SBC DSL Internet Access, and I'm having a world of trouble getting it to work with Linux. After speaking with the tech support idiots (they told me Linux doesn't support DSL), I've spent quite a bit of time trolling the internet for answers. I'm running Suse 8.2, I have a Speedstream DSL modem that SBC gave me, connected via Ethernet. I installed Roaring Penguin's RP-PPPOE but it still won't recognize the modem and the connection won't work. Does anyone use SBC or a similar service that can help me out getting it up and running? It already works on my windows computer, so I don't need to sign up with them, just get linux to recognize the connection. Also, as far as the Ethernet settings, should DHCP be turned on for this, or should I use a static IP address? Thanks, Casey Petersen
