March 27/29 KDE 3.1.1 bits are broken
by Steven T. Hatton 30 Mar '03

30 Mar '03

I am convinced there is a serious problem with the bits from SuSE's RPMs of KDE 3.1.1. I'm not sure where the problem is, but I did mv /opt/kde3 /opt/kde3-suse; ln -s /opt/kde3-cvs /opt/kde3 to put my own build in, and things work which were not working with the SuSE build. I filed a bug report, but I haven't added this to it. I'm almost certain the problem is int the KDE bits and not the QT bits. If I could identify the RPM, I might be able to tweek something to make it work. If you're wondering what I'm talking about, try using kdevelop with the latest KDE 3.1.1. STH

Hello! > The annoying thing is that during the download there is no > statusinformation what so ever, I would expect to see the total download, > the alreday downloaded size, the download speed, the remaining download > time. Yes, that's the problem of the online uodate in SuSE... There is no any status info etc. I've already posted this into SuSE wishlist. The best way is to start update at the night. Best regards, Andrew.

CD copying
by DB Troll 30 Mar '03

Could someone please tell me how to copy cd,s. I am using 8.0 and kde3.1, I also have x-cdroast. When I check these they both have the cd-rw as reader and writer. I cannot seem to configure either to use the cd-rom as reader so that I can burn on the fly. TIA David

lockups under 8.0 with the newest .18 kernel pkg.
by Ben Rosenberg 30 Mar '03

30 Mar '03

Could someone clarify for me if the latest kernel release for 8.0 is giving any issues? I've had 2 deadlock ups since I installed it. It's behaving a lot like 8.1 did when it had an AMD southbridge bug. Did something creep into the 2.4.18 release for 8.0 that behaves the same? This is why I didn't install 8.1 after it was said to have been fixed.. I didn't want to take the chance. :/ -- Ben Rosenberg ---===---===---===--- mailto:ben@whack.org Tell me what you believe.. I'll tell you what you should see.

2 network cards
by LinuxWorld999 30 Mar '03

30 Mar '03

On a toshiba laptop, two pcmcia network cards have been installed for use with SuSE 8.1. However, using ifconfig, only one card is listed as eth1. The other card eth0 is not listed. The laptop is a Toshiba Satellite 3000-X11. SuSE specifically recognises eth1 correctly as a Cardbus Lan card but not the other 3com card which is a combined lan and modem card. However, if the combined card is the only card, SuSE recognises the card and the dhcp server assigs it an ip address. When the second lan only card is inserted, only this card is recognised and the combined one is not assigned an ip address. When running WinXP on the same machine, both cards are recognised and can be bridged. Can anyone give ant guidance on how to configure two netword cards in SuSE 8.1? Thank you for any assistance.

flex and yacc
by Hans-Georg Lerdo 30 Mar '03

30 Mar '03

Hi guys! The whole hing works on the Solaris system I work on. But at home on suse I have trouble compiling flex and yacc results... He're the details: I have two files: test.lex and test.y. Both I run through flex and yacc: yacc -d test.y flex test.lex On the Solaris system this one "cc y.tab.c -ly -ll -o run" produces a executable file that works correctly (since it only checks the syntax of the source code). Now I want/need to work at home on the grammar with memphis but want to get to the same result with the un-mod files first. And there it is: the compilation of the c files doesn't work: "cc y.tab.c -ll -ly -o run" is bad... (same with gcc and g++ and...) The "ll" lib on my suse system is called "lfl" as I was told on the German list, but "ly" is still the problem... If I leave it out I get: hg@Thinkpad:~/Documents/University/COP 6726/project/current> gcc y.tab.c -lfl -o run lex.yy.o: In function `yylex': lex.yy.o(.text+0x46e): undefined reference to `yyerror' /tmp/ccH1E2Uo.o: In function `yyparse': /tmp/ccH1E2Uo.o(.text+0x189): undefined reference to `yyerror' /tmp/ccH1E2Uo.o(.text+0x3d1): undefined reference to `yyerror' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status hg@Thinkpad:~/Documents/University/COP 6726/project/current> If I put it in I get: hg@Thinkpad:~/Documents/University/COP 6726/project/current> gcc y.tab.c -lfl -ly -o run /usr/i486-suse-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -ly collect2: ld returned 1 exit status hg@Thinkpad:~/Documents/University/COP 6726/project/current> Anybody have any ideas/solutions??? Thanks in advance! L8r HG

Re: [SLE] kernel sources for 2.4.20
by Michael Sacco 30 Mar '03

One problem that I had was that acpi was there, but the modules "battery" and "ac" weren't getting loaded. If I manually loaded them, then acpi would work. -----Original Message----- From: "Turd Ferguson"<turdferguson(a)infowest.com> Sent: 3/29/03 1:19:17 AM To: "suse-linux-e(a)suse.com"<suse-linux-e(a)suse.com> Subject: Re: [SLE] kernel sources for 2.4.20 Is it possible to build a kernel off of an existing installation?

Has anyone used an ATI video card successfully under 8.1? Yes. I have an ATI 7000 PCI video card. Suse is the only Linux distro out of the 6 different Linux distro's I have loaded in the past 6 months that would recognize and work without a ton of configuration problems so far. Roy

I ordered the 8.2 pro release yesterday and am curious as to specific video card support. In looking at the SuSE hardware support database, I noted almost 7 full pages of cards from ATI, but what I couldn't find listed specifically was the TV card variety from ATI. Has anyone used an ATI video card successfully under 8.1? dave -- David C.
