ORiNOCO Silver and SuSE 8.2
by Jay Vollmer 07 Jun '03

07 Jun '03

Hi Everybody! I'm trying to get my laptop running SuSE 8.2 to connect with my wireless access-point. I've been tinkering with the wireless settings and I'm not getting it. When I run KWiFiManager, It shows the name of my local access-point and indicates excellent signal strength, but I don't have any connectivity. I'm using the ORiNOCO Silver card from Lucent Technologies which cardctl identifies as "WaveLAN/IEEE Version 01.01." Does anyone know how to set this up? -- JAY VOLLMER JVOLLMER(a)CONSOLIDATEDLINT.COM TEXT REFS DOUBLEPLUSUNGOOD SELFTHINK VERGING CRIMETHINK IGNORE FULLWISE

8.2 and "Walmart special."
by Fred A. Miller 07 Jun '03

07 Jun '03

A friend of mine bought 8.2 Pro. and had a Walmart box he bought 6 months ago or so......Celeron in it. The VIA video card, like most VIA makes was no good, so he dropped an ATI in it, and also turned the VIA NIC off and dropped an Intel in it. 8.2 went on like a glove after that......a $200 box that runs like a top. So, it's doable even with these cheap boxes. Fred -- Powered by SuSE Linux 8.2 Pro & KMail 1.5.1 Never forget: At Microsoft, the engineering department are the Ferengi...

libncurses.5

Hey Group: What in the world is going on with 8.2. It seems that a lot of thing are failing. The most recent is "chroot". Yes! it is requested to change "/" (root) to /media/hdb1 which is a mounted reiser file system. chroot /media/hdb1 cd /media/hdb1 shows all files and directoies. ERROR /bin/bash: error while loading shared libraries: libncurses.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory /tmp # ldd /lib/libncurses.so.5.3 libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40075000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x80000000) This same process worked great in 8.0. As a note this hdb drive has had nothing done on it since 8.0 was upgraded to 8.2. -- 73 de Donn Washburn __ " http://www.hal-pc.org/~n5xwb " Ham Callsign N5XWB / / __ __ __ __ __ __ __ 307 Savoy St. / /__ / / / \/ / / /_/ / \ \/ / Sugar Land, TX 77478 /_____/ /_/ /_/\__/ /_____/ /_/\_\ LL# 1.281.242.3256 a MSDOS Virus "Free Zone" OS Email: n5xwb(a)hal-pc.org Info: http://www.knoppix.net

SuSE 8.1 - YaST2 online update problem
by Przemyslaw Tokarski 07 Jun '03

07 Jun '03

Hello Every time I try to run YaST2 online update module (whether from a command line or in a graphics mode) it initially says: Trying to initialize FTP/HTTP connection.... and then immediately Can not connect to www.suse.de. Check your connection I have a working connection to the internet and I can ping www.suse.de without any problems. YaST2 online update used to work while the system was being updated from another location (in Germany) and then all of a sudden it ceased to work when we brought the laptop to Poland Can anybody enlighten me on what the problem can be ? My system is SuSE Linux 8.1 Professional running on a TOSHIBA laptop. I`ve heard rumours that YaST2 online uptade utility that comes with a stock SuSE 8.1 can only operate in an active ftp mode, but this should not be an issue in this particular situation as I disabled my whole firewall to allow active FTP to check if YaST2 online update must be run in an active FTP mode, but unfortunately it still did not work. Best regards Przemyslaw Tokarski Lodz, Poland

Strange YaST2 Problem
by Kirby Nesbitt 06 Jun '03

06 Jun '03

Wonder if anyone has seen this.. I just downloaded the KDE 3.1.2 packages and upgraded the desktop. No problems there. Now however when I go into YaST2 and attempt to select any packages or groups for update , I receive this idiotic window that pops up and says "Abandon all Changes?" The "accept" or "cancel" buttons are non-responsive causing the whole Install and Remove Software Module to freeze (under YaST). What have I done wrong here in my recent update. For the KDE RPM update, I created a dir under tmp and dropped everything in there. Then Created a new directory entry under YaST2-Change source of Installation. Disabled the cd:/// record temporarily but have since restored this enrty as the sole source. After completing the KDE upgrade I had gone in and deleted the RPM's under my tmp dir (140 MB) in the efforts to conserve space. Could this have thrown a wrench into YaST somehow? Really looking for the expert advise here as I an not sure how I'll upgrade from this point on unless I can get rid of this nag window. Thanks! K. Nesbott

Here's what an 'ls' gives you on the cdrom: Packages boot/ content ctimne-cp1250.txt ctimne-latin2.txt liesmich.txt media.1/ readme-hu.txt readme.txt The file that I'm curious about is in the "boot" directory: # ls -F boot LIESMICH README bootdisk liveeval loader/ modules1.txt modules2.txt rawrite.txt LIESMICH.DOS README.DOS modules1 modules2 rawrite.exe susee You can see the "susee" file there. Here's more info about it: -r--r--r-- 1 root root 636M Apr 10 03:10 susee # file susee susee: data That is the file that I want to check out, but can't figure out how to mount it.
