Cable Modem Router Question
by Leslie Forrest 03 Apr '03

03 Apr '03

Hi all, Currently, I use my desktop as a firewall, routing etc connected to a cable modem. I, also connect my laptop to a 2nd NIC in the same desktop computer. Now I am going to need another NIC for my PS2. I have read that a stand-alone router connected to my cable modem would be the best solution. I have carried out some preliminary investigations and I think the Linksys BEFSR41 will do. Does any-one have any experience with this router ? Is it any good ? Any other info would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance, Leslie

Can't log in as root
by Cleary_Mike＠emc.com 03 Apr '03

03 Apr '03

Yesterday I discovered a strange problem with my SuSE 8.1 box at work. I logged out of KDE, and then tried to log in as root. It tells me that the login is incorrect. However, as a user, I can su to root using the same password. I can even change the password, but I still can't log in as root. BTW, I am not trying to login through a telnet session. I am trying to log in at the machine.

Updating libc
by David List 03 Apr '03

03 Apr '03

Is it possible to update libc on a SuSE Linux 7.3 system without breaking something? I have installed SuSE Linux 7.3 sparc on an UltraSparc I and I have just tried compiling gcc 3.2.2, but it fails with a complaint about libc.so.6 is missing. I assume that a libc update would make this error go away, is that correct? Best regards, David List

I saw here when someone did a question which was about control files and this people searched a solution to avoid that members of the group deleted a specific file. I think this resolv your problem. chattr -V +u < file > This command set the attribute u (Undeletable), only the root and the owner file can delete the file. I hope help you with this...

Re: [SLE] Microsoft says to take aim at Google!(OT)
by Nicholas Parsons 03 Apr '03

03 Apr '03

Reading the article on cnn, it said that Google is indeed a private company based in Montain View California. Also it said that google did not have any plans (at least in the immediate future) of becoming a public company. ~~Nick --- On Wed 04/02, Curtis Rey < crrey(a)charter.net > wrote: From: Curtis Rey [mailto: crrey(a)charter.net] To: suse-linux-e(a)suse.com Date: Wed, 2 Apr 2003 22:56:50 -0600 Subject: Re: [SLE] Microsoft says to take aim at Google!(OT) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 On Wednesday 02 April 2003 17:51 pm, Fred A.

Yep, the DOJ ineptitude shows through once more as M$ continues to quash anythinhg that it feels is a threat or will hinder their play to dominate everything IT/IS. This would be terrible if Google were bought out by Bill and Co, I wonder, is Google a public company? I hope that those on the board don't go for the money - but if history and investors hold true this hope may soon be dashed. I am gratified by the continuing decline in M$ stock value. I hope that they continue to press their license programs. I also hope they find that Windows Server 2003 is as much a let down as Unreal Tournament 2003 insofar as it was overhyped and a big disappointment. I wager that within 6 months Server 2003 will be exploited as everything else M$ and this will finally put to rest Gates claims about "trustworthy" computing. On the issue of Google,... well I just hope that Google see the need to remain independent over the need for a one time big buyout revenue grab!

Menu Entry for Mozilla Mail?
by John LeMay 03 Apr '03

03 Apr '03

I just installed Mozilla 1.3 and Mozilla Mail 1.3 rpms via apt, however I don't have an entry for Mail in Mozilla's Window menu. Anyone know if this is a known issue or am I missing something? I'm thinking about just installing 1.4a, but thought I'd try the apt method first since 1.3 was available there.

Problem with adding Truetype fonts
by Clayton 03 Apr '03

03 Apr '03

After a fair bit of reading and experimenting, I am stumped... mostly because I don't know what the error message I am getting really means. I've added some TTF fonts I need for a project I am working on. They work fine in all applications except The GIMP... which is where I need them. I did some reading, and the instuctions seem simple... put your TTFs in a convenient location (mine are in /usr/share/fonts/truetype) ttmkfdir > fonts.dir in your font directory. xset fp+ /usr/share/fonts/truetype xset fp rehash. When I do the xset fp+ /usr/share/fonts/truetype part I get an error: ------------------------------------------- X Error of failed request: 86 Major opcode of failed request: 51 (X_SetFontPath) Serial number of failed request: 8 Current serial number in output stream: 10 ------------------------------------------- OK, nice, but what does this mean? I know what the fp+ is supposed to do... it's supposed to append the new font path to current font path. I've checked and it is not appended... yet. As I said, I'm stumped here... suggestions?
