I did not have to do anything special. However, I am still on 8.0 here.

I am looking for a programmer
by Ronald Wiplinger 06 May '03

06 May '03

At first it looked very simple, but it isn't. I have recorded with a sniffer a conversation of browsing a web site and that I have to do from the Linux machine. Right now I use a Windows machine, jumping from site to site. However, I am not interested in the contents of these web sites. I would like to use a background program on Linux, which would be much faster for that what I need. In order to make the program you will need a Windows machine and a SuSE box as firewall. If somebody is interested, I can provide more info via private emails.

HOW LINUX DEVELOPERS AND DISTRO MAKERS CAN MAKE INSTALLATIONS TROUBLE FREE(OT)

HOW LINUX DEVELOPERS AND DISTRO MAKERS CAN MAKE INSTALLATIONS TROUBLE FREE (Source: LinuxWorld.com) If developers and packagers flesh out the details of these suggestions, modify them to iron out wrinkles and then adopt the practices, most if not all Linux software installations will be trouble-free and distribution-agnostic. http://www.linuxworld.com/go.cgi?id=742312 -- Powered by SuSE Linux 8.2 Pro & KMail 1.5.1 Never forget: At Microsoft, the engineering department are the Ferengi...

IBM RESPONDS TO SCO'S $1 BILLION COMPLAINT (Source: LinuxWorld.com) Didn't do it. That's the clear message IBM sent with its reply to The SCO Group's $1 billion lawsuit in which it accuses Big Blue of illegally trying to damage Unix to build up Linux.

Re: Install SuSE 8.1 or 8.2 on PowerEdge 6400

It probably has up to date drivers off the CD. I put some postings on this list back in December about getting 8.1 up on a 2650 with 3/D It involves getting to "Manual Install" and loading the drivers by hand then the installer can see the disks to partition. Still the system won't boot, so you need to reboot off the CD again, and doing an FTP kernel upgrade. Check that all the drivers for the root partition are in /etc/sysconfig/kernel:"INITRD_MODULES" first. michaelj -- Michael James michael.james(a)csiro.au System Administrator voice: 02 6246 5040 CSIRO Bioinformatics Facility fax: 02 6246 5166

Konqueror & printing crash
by O'Smith 06 May '03

06 May '03

Hi all, I seem to have run into some interesting crashes and wonder if others would experience the same thing. Two sites I have found that some strange things occur. The first site listed gives a Sig 11 crash when trying to print (CUPS). Funny thing is, if I turn off "Embed fonts" in qtconfig printer tab, it prints without problems. Here is the first site and I will include the back trace file output below. I thought maybe it was a bad SuSE qt3 rpm, so rebuilt from the src.rpm, which didn't seem to alter my findings. http://web2.altmuehlnet.de/fschmid/ ----------------------------------- The next site just brings Konq and printing down to their knees and only Ksysguard or skull & crossbones removes it. Here is the site: http://www.ecsusa.com/products/l7s7a2.html Kindly see what experience you have when trying either site. Most other sites I have tried print without problems, at least I have not run into others so far.

Cups upgrade question (8.1 Professional)
by Mark Lucier 06 May '03

06 May '03

Hello list. I appreciate the knowledge of this list. Many times folks here have come to my rescue. I have another situation. I have upgraded my stock version of cups to correct for a landscape printing problem. I upgraded from 1.1.15 to 1.1.18 using Yast2 from the Suse ftp site. I did a rccups stop and I updated in the following order. CUPS libs, CUPS client then CUPS ignoring conflicts then rebooted. All seemed to go well. I am confused to why I am "Forbidden" to Print a test page. I am informed that I do not have permission to access the resource on this server (while I am sitting at the server). Also when I click on the printer icon or printer link I get the same message. I can see the list of printers I have created before the upgrade, modify, start and stop, and configure and each one along with adding a printer. Everything seems to be working fine and folks can print. The location bar shows http://localhost:631/printers (etc.) as I would expect. When I attempt to print a test page or access the printer, the location bar changes to http://my server name:631/printers (etc.). My server name is the host name in the network card configuration utility. I am not sure what happened or what changed. I corrected one problem but created another. Any help is appreciated. And I hope I am clear on the description of my problem. Thank you in advance. -- Mark Lucier Public Schools of CLK 57070 Mine Street Calumet, MI 49913 Phn 906-337-0311 Ext 1110 Fax 906-337-3848 mlucier(a)clk.k12.mi.us

fetchmail -keep problem
by Constant Brouerius van Nidek 06 May '03

06 May '03

Newly installed fetchmail and configured it with fetchmailconf on my Suse8.1. I am downloading and sorting out my email still on a seperate system in DrDos and I not yet ready with my home network setup so I want to keep the emails on my isp when I have a look at them with Suse. With "fetchmail -keep" that works but with a flaw. Everytime fetchmail thinks it should contact my ISP all emails which it had already downloaded are downloaded again. That means with the suse list only a rapid filling up of my harddisc with a multitude of the same emails. Can that be solved with a command that I have overlooked?

Video Capture cards
by Michael Satterwhite 06 May '03

06 May '03

I want to add a video capture card to my system, and would prefer to get one that is Linux compatible (while I don't mind that much booting back to Windows to work, I'd rather do that as little as possible). I'm sure some of you have them and was hoping that you could recommend some. I'm not incredibly opposed to an integrated display card and capture card, so please recommend either if you have them. Ideally, it should have both composite and S-VHS input so that it can accommodate both my laserdisc and video camera for inputs. tia ---Michael
