by Mark Halegua 03 May '03

03 May '03

I'm setting up hylafax on a system and the how to I have states in order to get Hylafax to start on boot to invoke YaST, "system administration" ->"change configuration file" and set START_HYLAFAX to "yes" However, in SuSE Pro 8.2, YaST doesn't have these menu options (under KDE or the text version). What file holds the configuration options to start hylafax on boot? Thanks, Mark

Generic vs Desktop icon of differing extensions?
by Curtis Rey 03 May '03

03 May '03

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Ok, I have been trying to pretty up my menus and I do a search for <pick an app>. I first do something like "locate foo.xpm" and see if I get a return. Then I do a "locate foo.png" and if that doesn't turn up anything. If not them a just do a wider search for "locate foo" and look for icon extensions. I have found a few icons to say the least. But I have run in to a situation wherein no *,xpm/.png exists but a *.desktop does. Looking at this it looks like an icon to me! But try to change the extension from *.desktop to *.xpm (or ,png) and it almost always turns into a generic/broken file page symbol/icon. So,... What is the difference that make a *.desktop unique/special compared to a more common *.xpm/.png extensions? TIA, Curtis. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+s/Tz7WVLiDrqeksRArZAAJ0avNs9xAeHasdbb4ogwaZAisERXgCfYOke GkqINLfPYlaU+wtD/QBnl68= =oicI -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Disaster {was Re: [SLE] Imapd in SuSE-8.2 does not work}
by ghugh Song 03 May '03

Thanks a lot (especially to David Krider) for all the help. However, nothing so far worked out for me. Why are we having this problem? David mentioned once that it is because my password is a plain text? [ I am sure that he meant some more. ] Can I just avoid all this hassle and use a strange characters as my new password? That does not sound right. I cannot just spend any more time on this one. I am giving up and The 8.2 upgrade turned out to be a disaster, because if I switch to "pine" as my mail client, I know I cannot deal with the spam mails at all. I blame the SuSE team. They should give us a clean upgrade path. It is not a clean upgrade at all. I would say it is terrible. Strange thing is that there is no mention about it in the Administration Guide. The more strange is that not many people are complaining about it. I don't understand why? Are they not using Pop3d or Imapd at all? Plesae help from someone who uses Mozilla-mail as his/her mail client with no problem. Thanks a lot. G. Hugh Song

VMware4.0

Hi. I have just installed the SuSE 8.2, and was trying to set up the VMware 4.0 version, but I get the following message: "eurit:~ # vmware-config.pl Making sure VMware Workstation's services are stopped. Stopping VMware services: Virtual machine monitor done Trying to find a suitable vmmon module for your running kernel. None of VMware Workstation's pre-built vmmon modules is suitable for your running kernel. Do you want this program to try to build the vmmon module for your system (you need to have a C compiler installed on your system)? [yes] yes Using compiler "/usr/bin/gcc". Use environment variable CC to override. What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include] The directory of kernel headers (version 2.4.20- 4GB) does not match your running kernel (version 2.4.20-4GB-athlon). Even if the module were to compile successfully, it would not load into the running kernel. What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include]" How can I fix that situation ??. Med venlig hilsen Erik Jakobsen Urbakken 8 Oeland D.K. 9460 Brovst Denmark eja(a)urbakken.dk

Routing table confusion in SuSE 8.2
by Jerry Feldman 03 May '03

03 May '03

(I seem to remember the discussion earlier, but could not find it quickly in the archive). I just installed SuSE 8.2 on my laptop. I have both a built-in Ethernet port and a PCMCIA wireless. Somehow, the routing table is missing the default route when both interfaces are active. Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 /etc/sysconfig/network/routes 0.0.0.0 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0 eth0 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 eth0 192.168.0.0 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0 eth-pcmcia default 192.168.0.1 - - If I remove the wireless card, then the routing table returns to something normal. Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 0.0.0.0 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 Conversely if I remove the wire, the default route shows correctly. Rhe system is confused because of two interfaces on the same subnet. In my case, I just wanted to set up the wireless. -- Jerry Feldman <gaf(a)blu.org> Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9

dynamic network.
by eja＠urbakken.dk 03 May '03

03 May '03

Hi. I have just changed my system from static to dynamic network here. At the present my Linux is SuSE 7.2. I have commented all lines in the /etc/hosts file, but every time I after run SuSEconfig, the 127.0.0.2 appears every time. I have changed the network to dynamic using the Yast2. What can possible be the culprit here ?. TIA Erik Jakobsen
