gcc versions 3.2 and 2.95
by Arthur Magill 30 May '03

30 May '03

Hello all, I'm running suse 8.1, and have finally got fed up with all those older applications that don't compile with gcc version 3. So, I'd like to install the older gcc 2.95, while keeping my current gcc 3.2. I've naively downloaded an old tarball, and tried to build it. Trouble is, version 3.2 won't build 2.95 (yes, that's exactly the problem I'm trying to fix!). I tried to build using: ./configure --program-suffix=-2.95 (that went okay) make install (that broke) I also tried: make bootstrap but that broke too. I won't include the errors - there were lots of them! The usual sort of thing, about deprecated syntax, etc. There must be lots of you out there who've managed to do this build? How did you do it? Any ideas would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance, Arthur

Differences between Evolution 1.2.4 and 1.3.92...?????
by Tom Nielsen 30 May '03

30 May '03

So, I downloaded and upgraded 1.3.92 from 1.2.4 and I have 1 question... What's the difference????? I mean other than it being incredibly slower and the fonts looking better than 1.2.4, I don't see anything. Did I not install something? I installed all the files from usr-local-bin. I assumed this would be a major upgrade....but boy was I let down. (no offense to James Ogley...this is directed at Ximian). Any insights would be great!

X11 cursors...
by Preston Kutzner 30 May '03

30 May '03

Hello list, I was just playing around with Knoppix today, and I noticed that it uses Xfree 4.3.x and KDE 3.1.x. I also noticed that they're using a translucent cursor in X. I poked around in the /etc/X11 directory and found a "cursors" directory with several files with the extension .theme in it. I also noticed an entry in the XF86config file where they seemingly reference one of the files. I then proceeded to poke around the /etc/X11 directory in my SuSE 8.2 box and I couldn't find a 'cursors' directory. Does anyone know if the cursor "themes" are normally distributed w/X11 or if there's a way to add them into my SuSE installation? I'd love to have the translucent mouse cursors. -- Preston Kutzner | IT Manager Naeser's Law: You can make it foolproof, but you can't make it damnfoolproof.

Database front ends
by John Pettigrew 30 May '03

30 May '03

I need to move the database I use to run my business to linux soon and am starting to look at the options. Now, the backend power is clearly there but there seems to be a lack of good front ends - and by "good", I mean something that can produce a high-quality printed report. Almost everything that I've seen is fine for on-screen work, when all that is needed is a row-and-column representation. The best I've found so far is Knoda, but I'd prefer something gtk based (because I use Gnome as my desktop). Does anyone know of anything that produces good, WYSIWYG reports with graphics, page layout and text formatting?

Hi, all, Have a vexing problem with this card and Suse 8.0. I downloaded the updated Pcmcia rpms here: http://www.suse.com/us/support/download/updates/80_i386.html . And I was able to get the information about the card, set it uyp as a network device in Yast2 and now ifconfig -a lists eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:06:25:2A:DE:5F\ BROADCAST MULTICSAT MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 Dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:7 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:0 (0.0b) TX bytes:1548 (1.5kb) Interrupt:9 Base address:0x100 I went into /etc/pcmcia/wlan-ng.opts and made sure that the card was enabledstation mode was on INfrastructure, infrusture was set with the right SSID. I went to a hot spot. my card blinks and I check /var/log/messages and see that it's not getting an IP from DHCP. Looks like an Intersil firmware version 1.04 Ad-hos demo mode supported IEEE Standard IBSS ad-hoc mode supported WEP supported 104 bit key MAC Address Station name Prism I ready index 0x01: Vcc 5.0 irq 9 io 0x100-0x013f executing: './etwork start eth1' Tx error, status 4 (FID=0127)_ Tx error, status 4 (FID=014E)_ /etc/hotplug/net.agent[2437]: INterface eth1 is handled by service PCMCIA ... exiting eth1: error -110 writing packet header to BAP Tx error, status 4 (FID=0160) Tx error, status 4 (FID=0186) timed out waiting for valid DHCP server response + STarting DHCP client daemon on eth1 . . . . . .No IP address yet. Backgrounding I call t-mobile, and their network guy sas he SEES me trying to get in, and that HE can't get through to me. I check the firewall and it says it's off. Can anyone give me some ideas about what to change to get this working? It's SSOOOOO close I can taste it! Thanks in advance, Nick

I know this has been beaten to death, but someone on our local users group just asked why it's not OK to trade a VmWare key but it is OK to give him a CD burn of SuSE 8.2 Pro.

Postfix & virtual domain : help !
by Koenraad Lelong 30 May '03

30 May '03

Hi all, I'm trying for weeks to set up a mailserver for our company, but I keep having problems. First : I planned to use Postfix, with Courier (and later on SpamAssassin, Amavis and SquirrelMail). Is this a good choice ? The mail for our domain (single one) is stored in a POP-mailbox by our ISP, and will be fetched with Fetchmail. This will hand the messages over to Postfix which has to store the mail for the different users (Win-based, none of them users on the Linux-box) in Maildir format. Courier will distribute the mail to the users, in POP or IMAP format. Second : my problem. I set up things like described in http://high5.net/howto/ (mainly) and http://www.marlow.dk/tech/postfix.php?noframe=yes But when I try to send a mail to user(a)domain.tld with KMail (on the box itself), the message stays in the outbox, and the logfile from Postfix says : .../smtpd[1273]: connect to subsystem private/proxymap: Connection refused .../smtpd[1273]: warning: connect #x to subsystem private/proxymap: Connection refused I put the logging verbosity up, and then, just before those messages, I got .../smtpd[1273]: maps_append: proxy:unix:passwd.byname Now I'm stuck. I don't know where to look further. Any logfiles to look into ? Does Courier need to be running in this fase ? Any hints are welcomed ! -- Met vriendelijke groeten, Koenraad Lelong R&D Manager ACE electronics n.v.

compiling samba 2.2.9pre1 with ACL support on SuSE 8.1
by Silviu Marin-Caea 30 May '03

30 May '03

For reasons unknown, samba included with SuSE 8.1 did not allow me to execute directly .exe files stored on it, from Windows clients. So, at that time, I compiled samba 2.2.9pre1 from CVS and used that. Now, I need it to support ACLs. ./configure --with-acl-support --with-sendfile-support checking whether to support ACLs... checking for acl_get_file in -lacl... no checking for ACL support... no checking whether to check for support sendfile... yes checking for linux sendfile64 support... no checking for linux sendfile support... no checking for broken linux sendfile support... yes Why does it not enable ACLs? Or maybe someone knows why I can't execute the .exe files if I use the SuSE's samba. Thanks.
