-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 HI all... I was just given a Trust Photocam the DC-2500 series. This a serial port camera. I'm trying to get it to work with Linux. gphoto2 has a driver for the DC-3500 series that does not quite work.

cfm extensions on websites?
by Nick Zentena 16 Jun '03

16 Jun '03

Anybody know what cfm is? The site is running a Microsoft webserver so I'm guessing it's something from them. Both Mozilla and Konqueror want to run realplay instead of showing the page. Nick

Booting Problem
by Akinola Oke 16 Jun '03

16 Jun '03

I have linux installed on a system that was formerly Windows and I am having problem booting straight with LILO. I always have to be at the console to type "Esc" for the system to skip to LILO, otherwise, the system will just be rebooting since there is only residue of Windows application left. How can overwrite the booting process to that only LILO boots. Thanks

No sound with SoundBlaster Live 5.1 PCI card
by Trey Sizemore 16 Jun '03

16 Jun '03

I installed SuSE 8.2 on my desktop that has a SoundBlaster Live! 5.1 PCI card. It appears to be detected correctly (using the EMU10k1 driver) and the mixer settings are unmuted and at reasonable settings, however I'm not getting any sound. Is this a frequent issue and if so, are there some other things I should check? Thanks. Trey -- Trey Sizemore trey(a)fastmail.fm

Remote Dialin with pppd & mgetty
by Jasmine Davis 16 Jun '03

16 Jun '03

Hi All I am trying to set-up a remote modem dialin to a SuSE 8.2 system so selected remote users can access the Internet through the Linux box. Now as usual I am having problems in getting this functioning. First I uncommeted the mgetty line in the inittab file & reloaded it, so now the modem answers. Now I want to configure the dialin. By putting my username & password in Kinternet on my remote system I get the following when I try to login. pppd: CONNECT 57600 pppd: --> Carrier detected. Waiting for prompt. pppd: Welcome to SuSE Linux 8.2 (i586) - Kernel pppd: (l). pppd: xena!login: pppd: Welcome to SuSE Linux 8.2 (i586) - Kernel pppd: (l). pppd: xena!login: pppd: --> Looks like a login prompt. pppd: --> Sending: jasmine pppd: jasmine pppd: Password: pppd: --> Looks like a password prompt. pppd: --> Sending: (password) pppd: You have new mail in /var/mail/jasmine. pppd: Last login: Mon Jun 16 11:10:59 from xxxxxxxxxxxx.com.au pppd: Have a lot of fun... pppd: jasmine@xena:~> pppd: --> Hmm... a prompt. Sending "ppp". pppd: ppp pppd: -bash: ppp: command not found pppd: jasmine@xena:~> pppd: --> Hmm... a prompt. Sending "ppp". pppd: ppp pppd: -bash: ppp: command not found pppd: jasmine@xena:~> pppd: --> Hmm... a prompt. Sending "ppp". pppd: ppp pppd: -bash: ppp: command not found pppd: jasmine@xena:~> pppd: --> Don't know what to do! Starting pppd and hoping for the best. pppd: Serial connection established. pppd: Using interface ppp0 pppd: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyS1 pppd: Serial line is looped back. After I get this far, the connection will not get any further & just drop out. What I want is for remote users to login like they do with an ISP. e.g. They just put their username : password in & the remote system configures their IP address, remote ip, dns & default route, in otherwords, does it all dynamicly. Can this be achived with mgetty & pppd or is it better to use a radius server? If so, what radius server is suitable & not a headache to set-up?

VIA8233 Sound chipset
by Tim Dickinson 16 Jun '03

16 Jun '03

having a lot of problems regarding sound in SuSE - i have an on-board VIA8233 Chipset (VT8233 is the SuSE driver) on my Asus A7V8X-X motherobard. I was able to play sound in XMMS - but NOWHERE else - and then i tried updating my driver - and now everything in my system is trying to use a VIA8235 chipset (this is not what i have) even XMMS - and nothing works now..... i am trying to play sound through ALSA - is there another way i can get my soundchip working? i read that the VIA chipset has a few problems on the ALSA project home page. Has anyone had trouble with this before? I'd also like to get system sounds working - is this an ALSA issue? or is it still my chipset?

[OT] Stuttgart
by Togan Muftuoglu 16 Jun '03

16 Jun '03

Hi everyone, This is complete [OT] for a lot of people so please send the replies "to me only". We will be moving to Stuttgart by the beginning of September and I need recommendations for couple of things. 1) DSL connection: Which provider gives Static IP with no restrictions on setting a web/mail/ftp servers. I am using a flatrate ADSL in Turkey so I am looking for a similar service with no restrictions on the traffic amount and type. 2) Since I have never been to Stuttgart before and our friends in this town are average Microsoft users, I also need suggestions on computer hardware and software shops, that are knowledgeable and trustworthy, the last thing I want to hear is how secure is Windows software even with default installation. I will be probably having more questions once I visit Stuttgart and play the tourist next week, yet as I understand question 1 is vital as the service is not available in everywhere in Stuttgart ( I may be wrong ) Thanks in advance -- Togan Muftuoglu Unofficial SuSE FAQ Maintainer http://dinamizm.ath.cx

Software repositories
by Trey Sizemore 16 Jun '03

16 Jun '03

Just got finished installing SuSE 8.2...very nice. I was wondering if there was a repository such as apt-get in Debian or urpmi in Mandrake for SuSE packages that I could use. I have found usr-local-bin.org in the archives for some packages that I want, but wanted to know if there was something to address other software as well as helping with dependency resolution. Any tips to someone new to SuSE are greatly appreciated. Thanks. Trey -- Trey Sizemore trey(a)fastmail.fm
