Re: [solved] SiS 650 Chipset and SuSE 8.2 in a Laptop ...
by oguz eren 20 Jun '03

20 Jun '03

Hi, wolfi. I'll also buy an asus laptop with sis650 chipset, next week. I'll install SuSE 8.2 on it. I was thinking XFree86 4.3 is supporting sis650. At least on XFree86's web site it's said to be supported. Is choosing the fb driver means loss of any advantages or performance? If you encounter any further problems, would you please let me know? And another question: Could you enable 3d support for this video card, and did you test it? Thanks in advance,

clipboard to/from console
by Peter Evans 20 Jun '03

20 Jun '03

I'm using mined as my editor, because it has a WordStar interface. As I understand it -- and I'm a stupid newbie, so I probably don't -- there's no standard way to copy a chunk of text from, say, Konqueror and then paste it into mined. (Certainly "clipboard" isn't mentioned anywhere in mined's lengthy documentation.) Therefore in order to paste in a little chunk of text from Konqueror I must paste it into Kate or some such conventional editor, save the result as a file, and read the file into the file I'm writing with mined. Yawn! Googling around for an answer takes me to Mpcb 0.4.2, athttp://www.icewalkers.com/Linux/Software/511140/mpcb.html . There appears to be no SuSE (or RH) package for this proggie. Well, I can probably figure out how to install it. But I hesitate, because it seems to me that what I want to do is so humdrum that there must be a standard way of doing it that I've stupidly overlooked. Comments?

Need help with mysql with SuSE 8.2
by Art Fore 20 Jun '03

20 Jun '03

Does anyone know of any SuSE documentation for their installation of mysql? I tried the mysql manual, but some how, I cannot acccess it. Comes up cannot access user @localhost, access denied. How that got there I will never know. When I start if from the runlevel editor, get "stty: standard input: inappropriate ioctl for device" which I have now idea what means or how to find out what is causing it. Have completely reinstalled the operating system and mysql, same problems. Art

FYI: Xine works :-)
by C Hamel 20 Jun '03

20 Jun '03

Thank you one & all for the suggestions. I finally got my favourite, xine, to work. :-) It required the kde-gui before it stopped crashing, but I'd already d/l the libs so that may have contributed. My problems w/the d/l amounted to not being able to read German very well. <LOL> ...CH -- SuSE Is All U Need. --Especially when xine works. :-)

Impressed with SuSE 8.2 but what about sticky pin on windows
by Terry Eck 20 Jun '03

20 Jun '03

The default configuration for KDE is no sticky pin on the windows title bar. The function of this was to allow a window to show-up on all the desktops. Anyone know how to configure this function?

USB printer access via Samba
by Mike Green 20 Jun '03

20 Jun '03

Hi! I have two printers hooked to my SuSE 8.2 Linux box. One is a Brother HL-645, which uses the parallel port. The other is an HP Photosmart 7350, which uses a USB port. I can print to both printers from the Linux box. I have Samba set up and experience no problem browsing to and adding either printer to the printers for Windows 98 and XP computers on my home network. And I can print from both of the Windows machines to the Brother without a problem. Any attempt at printing to the HP, however, fails. The XP acts as if is sending the page. But no page is printed. The Win98 machine says that it can't print the (test) page. I'm guessing that I am missing some setting related to the fact that the HP uses a USB port. Ideas? TIA! Mike Green

by Nate Mayotte 20 Jun '03

20 Jun '03

How yo ya reset the console resolution in SuSE 8.2? I did the initial install on a old 15" monitor and after I switched it an lcd the console resolution is really shakey. I went through SaX2 and set the resolution to 1280x1024 and that works fine for kde, but the consoles are all shakey still.

(text deleted) Answer: Go to "KDE/SuSE-control center" ( it's on "KDE-kicker" (gear) menu ) open (SuSE) "Control Center"; find "Help", click on it, and then click on "SuSE" A new screen should open, follow the instruction (i.e. enter "administrator (root) password", etc) after the bottom it should show a dialog box: "re-build data bases," do it and you SuSE help data base should get re-built (mine shows 19 American flags - in 4 general categories) >> Are you running KDE desktop, and if so, do you have >> a "red and white life preserver" on your bottom "task bar" ? > Yes and yes. What happens when I click on it is as I described before. > I get a list of links; some, such as that for Bash, are linked to actual > help; others, such as that for "Application Manuals | KDE", go owhere.... That tells me your "help data base" is not complete. So re-build it as stated above. >> Do you also have a KDE help icon ??? (test delted) I did a little more research -- KDE's help is also a "life presever- that's why I changed mine to a "penguin" --- so they looked different. IIRC, KDE's help gets installed as part of "KDEbase3" and then installed when SuSE Help is rebuilt. Hope this helps.
