Abit ic7-g and suse 8.2 support
by Josef332 12 Aug '03

12 Aug '03

Hello fellow Susers. I want to install Suse 8.2 on an Abit IC7-G with an intel 875 chipset.Is the hardware supported by this version of the Suse distro? All the HDD's to be installed along with it are SATA so I presume tehre may be a problem installing them? Previous experience with sata disks in linux had them working very slowly and I could no possibly install the OS on them. Any experiences that a fellow user may have had with this kind of motherboard/chipset would be welcome. Thanks

SuSEfirewall2 and games
by Keith Mickunas 06 Aug '03

06 Aug '03

I'm really sorry if this is covered all the time, but I just can't figure it out. Is there a simple way to set up the firewall to allow windows machines to play games on the internet? I've been through the manuals, the conf file, unofficial faq, and I'm not having a lot of luck. This is what I have set up: P2 running SuSE 8.2 Pro with all the latest updates eth0 connected to the internet eth1, 192.168.0.201, connected to the internal network Internal machines can access the web, external machines can access ssh and the webserver on the SuSE machine. The game I want to play is using port 2325, and some others show up for source ports. Are these the correct settings? FW_QUICKMODE="no" FW_DEV_EXT="eth0" FW_DEV_INT="eth1" FW_DEV_DMZ="" FW_ROUTE="yes" FW_MASQUERADE="yes" FW_MASQ_DEV="$FW_DEV_EXT" FW_MASQ_NETS="0/0" - shouldn't this masquerade every port? FW_PROTECT_FROM_INTERNAL="no" FW_AUTOPROTECT_SERVICES="yes" FW_SERVICES_EXT_TCP="http https ssh " FW_SERVICES_EXT_UDP="" FW_SERVICES_EXT_IP="" FW_SERVICES_DMZ_TCP="" FW_SERVICES_DMZ_UDP="" FW_SERVICES_DMZ_IP="" FW_SERVICES_INT_TCP="137 138 139" FW_SERVICES_INT_UDP="137 138 139" FW_SERVICES_INT_IP="" FW_SERVICES_QUICK_TCP="" FW_SERVICES_QUICK_UDP="" FW_SERVICES_QUICK_IP="" FW_TRUSTED_NETS="" FW_ALLOW_INCOMING_HIGHPORTS_TCP="yes" FW_ALLOW_INCOMING_HIGHPORTS_UDP="yes" FW_SERVICE_AUTODETECT="yes" FW_SERVICE_DNS="no" FW_SERVICE_DHCLIENT="no" FW_SERVICE_DHCPD="yes" FW_SERVICE_SQUID="no" FW_SERVICE_SAMBA="yes" FW_FORWARD="" FW_FORWARD_MASQ="0/0,192.168.0.2,tcp,2325 " I can get connected for a bit, then it drops me. Do I need to open up the ports via FW_SERVICES_INT_TCP and FW_SERVICES_EXT_TCP also? Is there a simple one step solution to allow all my windows pcs to play various games on the internet? Or do I have to do special rules for each and every machine and game in FW_FORWARD_MASQ? I could swear that when I used other tools in the past I could just open up a port and be done with it. Yet I'm having nothing but trouble with this. The weird thing is how some stuff works just fine. I got waste running pretty quickly, but I had to initiate the connection with my friend, the firewall blocked his attempt to connect to me, but once I connected to him things went back and forth just fine. -- Keith Mickunas keith(a)mickunas.net I'll be deep in the cold, cold ground before I recognize Missourah! - Grandpa Simpson ------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through IMP: http://horde.org/imp/

SuSE 8.2 and hwscan on boot
by Basil Chupin 04 Aug '03

04 Aug '03

Would someone please remind me which control file, and where it resides, that needs to be massaged to stop the hardware scan on boot. (Which parameter to alter would also be helpful.) The RunLevel editor in the Control Centre refuses to switch off this check. Thanks in advance. -- Understanding only begins with the act of perception.

Ghostscript
by Bill Wisse 03 Aug '03

03 Aug '03

Haia I saved a document in my home folder , ext .ps. When I want to open this I get an error message ""Could not start Ghostscript" This is most likely caused by an incorrectly specified interpreter. Any suggestions what to do here? I'm using SuSE 8.2. -- Greetings from /bill at 169 west , 19 south.

VIm backspace nonsense
by David Krider 03 Aug '03

03 Aug '03

I've been battling with SuSE's VIm implementation since I made the switch from Red Hat some months ago. I find that in insert mode, the backspace key won't go backwards before where I started inserting in a line. In normal use, this is just annoying. When I'm trying to program with cindent set, and I reach the end of an "if" block or such, I can't back up one indention to close the block. I suppose it may be a terminal setting, but I would be loathe to change that, since I don't want to change it on every machine I sit in front of, but I can do that if that's what it takes. Does anyone know what I can set, anywhere, to make this problem go away? I don't even know where to start. Thanks, dk

Gnome Questoin
by Turd Ferguson 02 Aug '03

02 Aug '03

I have recently updated several of my gnome apps. Now that I have done so, the fonts are all tiny on the apps (evolution, gftp) and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to fix them. KDE is running just fine. I run a 1280 x 1024 resolution. I am a KDE user and have not had any luck with gnomecc or otherwise. Any advise on how to fix this? -- "Turd Ferguson.

Hallo all I am running suse 8.2 pro here, and I need to take screenshots. I have previously used ksnapshot for this but I see that it is not included in 8.2. Am I overlooking it ? Is there anything else I can use?
