Manually setting the time
by William Westfall 29 Aug '03

29 Aug '03

My time and date are totally screwed up. When I try and use YaST it comes up with an error. Is there a bash command to force a time date change upon the system? If you didn't notice... this was a message from the future!

Guys/Gals, I'm trying to get an Alcatel speedtouch 330 DSL modem working on a new 8.2 installation. SuSE support say they can't help. There's a mail in this group's archives: http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-linux-e/2003-Apr/0036.html Unfortunately, I don't understand it. I've already tried the driver - but can't get it to compile. I've now downloaded the speedtouchconf script, but don't know what I'm supposed to do with it. A search for speedmgmt on the alcatel website gets no hits. The post also says to make sure the kernel supports something called HDLC, and USB. How can I tell? Is there anyone there who can explain in words of one syllable (as to a child) how I go about doing this? Many thanks, Peter

[OT] I believe that someperson(!) at this end unsubscribed us from SuSE. My apologies to all. We will be continuing to use SuSE until, well, whenever! Cheers.

jpg to avi
by Mark Crean 29 Aug '03

29 Aug '03

Does anyone know of a program that can batch convert a whole lot of jpg stills into an avi movie? I believe that mencoder can do this with jpgs to mpegs - though I've never used it - but I'm looking for a good proggie that can output an avi, if such a thing exists. Best to work off the command line as apparently there are around 9000 stills to convert! :) Fish

newbie- needs help setting up wireless Linksys WPC11 with WEP
by Joe 29 Aug '03

29 Aug '03

Hi, I am trying to configure linksys WPC 11 (version 3.0) using SuSE 8.2 on a dell x200. Using the Yast2, the card is recognized and it pretends to allow me to configure it. But none of my configuration is applied to the card. When I attempt to use "iwconfig", the card is listed as wlan0, any attempt to make a change and I am told that "function is not implemented". Any assistance would be appreciated, Joe PS - I have looked at the support site wireless article and it has not helpful nor has google or the linux-wlan.org web site.

Opera and the missing libXM.so.2 - A mystery solved
by Philipp Thomas 28 Aug '03

28 Aug '03

Subject pompous enough to get your attention? Good ;-))))))))))))) Many of you have stumbled over Opera 7.X requiring libXm.so2 and got the advice to just ignore it as Opera would run without it. After having had an email exchange with one of the Opera developers today I know a bit more. It does indeed run without it, but you can't use netscape plugins (at least older ones) like the flash player. Now there are two ways to solve the problem: 1) Download the Opera 7.20b preview. It contains /usr/lib/opera/plugins/operamotifwrapper-3, a plugin linked against libXM.so.3 (which SuSE supplies since 8.1 in its openmotif package). That plugin should get renamed to /usr/lib/opera/plugins/operamotifwrapper by the installer. 2) Get opera-7.11-1.i586.rpm from ftp.suse.com or its mirrors in /pub/people/pthomas/8.2 . This contains the plugin from 7.20b and should install without having to use --force. Philipp
