Repair cups from command line
by mark bannister 25 Sep '03

25 Sep '03

Well, I celebrated too soon. After changing my motherboard all was well until I tried to reconfigure my extra parallel ports. I screwed up Cups somehow and now system won't start. Cups fails to start then system Hangs when Samba waits for Cups to start. I have no clue how to configure these things from a command line. I thought I could run YaST from command line, but I can't seem to figure that out either. I am booting from the rescue system. Can someone kindly point me in the right direction? Mark B.

Dell Flat Monitor
by Sergio Dominguez 25 Sep '03

25 Sep '03

Hi all, just installed Suse 8.2 Pro in my desktop (in my laptop it gave no problems!) and it looks like it cannot find the right monitor. I have a 15" flat monitor, and I have tried the 1503FP and a standard LCD 1024x768@75Hz In both cases Sax2 fries when doing the test (mouse not working and no response to keyboard) (I got those from looking through the list) If in any case I get to a not too bad (which means black margins on the screen) configuration and I save... well it hangs with a black screen and cursor blinking. Has anyone sorted out this monitor? Thanks, Sergio -- Didja hear about the dyslexic devil worshipper who sold his soul to Santa?

WOW!! So much help, so fast. I thank you all for the words of encouragement. Although it's now my THIRD choice, I do think SUSE is the one. Some have told me I'm over-researching and reading on Linux but I want to be sure. I have three weeks before I'm going to be really REALLY busy with my daughters wedding and family over from England, I'm thinking I might take the plunge now. You may hear from me again very soon. Thanks again. Maureen.

Floppy and DVD/CDRW Drive in same laptop bay
by William Westfall 25 Sep '03

25 Sep '03

Does anyone know how I get SuSE 8.2 to allow me the privilege of using both the floppy and CDRW in the same bay on my Panasonic T-72 laptop. I currently have the CDRW/DVD drive in the bay and it works great, but there are those occasions when I need the floppy, which goes into that bay also, what would be the procedure for swapping and activating so I have access to both? Thanks in Advance

We are using Suse Linux version 8.1 and we have a crontab set up - recently the crontab stopped running and without rebooting the machine I want to know a) what could have happened and b) how I can get the cron to start working again?

8.2 text install on vmware 4
by Eugene Salinas 25 Sep '03

25 Sep '03

Hi everyone, I'm new to the list as I'm trying to install SuSE 8.2 and am having some issues. I'm trying to install SuSE 8.2 in VMWare 4. So I followed the instructions and installed using the text mode installer. However, I must have missed something because it didn't ask me whether I want to install the X server or not. VMware says to install text mode only so that you can put the tool on later and then use sax2. The install proceeded to the end in text mode only to see that at the first boot it started loading kde and after that I couldn't figure out how to install the vmtools and reconfigure the screen. Any ideas of what I'm missing? thanks a lot, eugene.

FAT32 question
by Frits Wuthrich 25 Sep '03

25 Sep '03

every time I copy or move a file from a reiserfs partition to a FAT32 partition, I get the error message 'could not change permissions for [filename]'. This is the line in fstab for this drive/partition: /dev/hdb1 /windows/F vfat iocharset=iso8859-1,users,gid=users,umask=0002,code=437 0 0 Although I get the error message, the file gets copied anyway. I use SUSE8.1 or WinXP on this box. I am not sure what is going on, but I suspect the permission is set incorrectly for this windows partition? -- Frits Wuthrich <frits(a)wuthrich.cc>

Re: [SLE] Laptop Wireless
by Branton Boehm 25 Sep '03

I'm reposting this, because I think that it's been pushed down far enough that people aren't seeing it. Basically, I've got my internal wireless card setup as my eth-pcmcia-0 device. Someone said something about how it should be bridged to eth1 and then I can use it. It doesn't seem to be doing that. Can anyone help?

Re: [SLE] kde 3.1.4

Hi Thadeu, Which package have you used from ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/adrian/beta1 ? There is no qt-3.2.1-ver package schema in there. I think it is better wait until SuSE folks are gonna fix this under their FTP site. stefan --- Jose Thadeu Cavalcante <thadeurj(a)terra.com.br> wrote: Hi, I installed the Kde-3.1.4 using that one qt and in principle it is working correctly. So, It is good if you use that qt-3.2.1. I think SuSE will put qt3-3.2.1 in the download area briefly.
