editing /etc/sysconfig in yast
by Eddie 01 Jun '03

01 Jun '03

Has anyone tried to edit the /etc/sysconfig file using yast? My experience is that while it states that possible values are "any value", I cannot enter anything by way of the keyboard. If there is a drop down selection I can choose that or by right clicking the mouse I can select "clear" but am still unable to type anything. I will edit the file directly but I was just wondering, is this a bug, is it suppose to work like that or am I doing something wrong? Eddie

by Dennis 01 Jun '03

01 Jun '03

I did a ftp install of 8.2 fresh (sorry, wallet is empty for the moment) and found that kuickshow is no longer available? I really miss kuickshow with it functionality to step through all the image files in the directory. Is there anywhere that I can find kuickshow for 8.2 or is there any other viewer which having the similar function? Pls advise. Thank you. Dennis@sg.

by Kirby Nesbitt 01 Jun '03

Just wondering if anyone might recommend a good live stream ripping package? I see StreamRipper is still around but doesn't look as if the *nix flavour has been updated in awhile. Appreciate hearing what your running. Cheers! K. Nesbitt, VE6IV SuSe 8.2 Professional -- Help prevent MS software piracy, give a friend a copy of Linux today!

i82365 or TPIC
by Justin Zygmont 01 Jun '03

I am trying to get 8.2 on my laptop but it can't seem to find tpic.o when it loads the modules4 disk. In previous versions of suse, it looks like they used i83265 for pcmcia instead, and it works. Does anyone know if they changed it, and if I can change it back somehow? thanks..

Splitting and merging file
by Puth Chan Choth 01 Jun '03

01 Jun '03

Hello all, To split file into pieces, we use the split filename --bytes=1300000 General syntax: split filename --bytes=[number of bytes] Example: split sendmail.tar.bz2 --bytes=130000 After splitting, we will get these files xaa, xab, ... and so on. I would like to ask you, how can I merge all these files back? Thank you so much for your assistance. Best regards, Chan Choth

YaST2 always in endless loop with "abandon all changes"
by Bart Symons 01 Jun '03

01 Jun '03

I have SuSE 8.2, all the latest updates and patches. Whatever I do with YaST (the GUI version, v2.7.30-1) it always goes into an endless loop of "abandon all changes" dialogs, regardsless what I was using YaST for and regardless of whether I click OK or cancel in the "abandon all changes" dialogs. It's even impossible to quit YaST. The problem doesn't occur with the text version. ????

8.2 cd defect?
by Constant Brouerius van Nidek 01 Jun '03

01 Jun '03

Trying to install 8.2 I have been struggling for half a day. Of course safe setting, first trying to update my 8.1 and as that was not functioning a new install. Everytime it stalls at the time when the propositions are made for the software choices. It does not show anything even after a long wait. Trying to update via Yast in the 8.1 install does show the old software and the new software but proposes no new packages to update. So now I am suspecting a small defect on the first cd. Is there a method to check this, e.g checksum or so?
