YOU failing
by John Pettigrew 05 Sep '03

I cannot currently get YOU to download any patch information - it fails complaining that fetchmsttfonts has failed the signature check. I've tried several servers and all give the same result. Does anyone else see this? And what can I do about it?

how to change gateway without using YaST?
by Agi Subagio 05 Sep '03

05 Sep '03

I'm using SLES8. I want to change gateway on that SuSE without using YaST. I've changed the /etc/sysconfig/network/routes with this entry: default: 192.168.1.254 - - But, after I restart the network device, that entry won't work. My routing table still won't change. Which file I should change if i want to change my gateway manually? regards, Agi

UK based volunteers required
by James Ogley 05 Sep '03

05 Sep '03

Next month sees Linux Expo UK 2003 at Olympia in London. I'm thinking of seeing if I can get a spot on the .ORG stand for usr-local-bin, but because of work commitments, I won't be able to man it for very long. If I'm able to do this, and get a bunch of CDs burnt with the latest builds as well as some basic literature about the site, would anyone be able to volunteer to man the table for some of the time to make sure noone takes all the CDs, and to answer any questions people might have? Please reply off-list if you're up for this...

LT winmodem problem
by Desmond Kenny 05 Sep '03

05 Sep '03

Hello to all! I have recently installed SuSE 8.2 on a Panasonic CF R1 sub-notebook (dual-boot for now, but hoping to get rid of the other OS in due course). Most things are working fine, but unfortunately the modem is a winmodem (not a real modem, I know :) ). From the vendor/device list at www.yourvote.com/pci/ it seems that this is an LT 56k winmodem with a chipset 1456VQH19R-1(INT). uname -r reported that my kernel version is 2.4.20-4GB, so I went to heby/ltmodem/ and downloaded ltmodem-kv_2.4.20_4GB-8.26a9-1.i386.rpm. Then when I do: rpm -i ltmodem-kv_2.4.20_4GB-8.26a9-1.i386.rpm I get the response: Failed dependencies: k_deflt=2,4,20-4GB is needed by ltmodem-kv_2.4.20_4GB-8.26a9-1 What is happening, and what should I do next? [please don't say 'get a different/real modem' :) ] Help please! - and please keep it simple -- this is my first experience with Linux :) best wishes to all, Des Kenny

"YOU" runs SuSEconfig after it downloads packages. So does fou4s, (after I use "kpackage" I do "SuSEconfig". I don't know if Apt-get does ??? I usually run "# SuSEconfig --verbose" and ofter if I downloaded "new stuff capture the output using stdout, i.e. as root: "# SuSEconfig 2>&1 | tee /home/"user-name"/text.txt" HTH.

[suse-linux-e] Is the python-gnome package broken?
by Thibaut Cousin 05 Sep '03

05 Sep '03

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, I'm using up-to-date SuSE 8.2 and I ran into a strange problem when making the RPM package for Solfege 2.0.0. Solfege uses Gnome2 Python bindings, so it requires the package called python-gnome 1.99.14. I think that package is completely broken, but I'm really not a Python expert, so I'd like to hear other opinions before I report that. There are two major problems: - - During compilation, ./configure complains that gnome-python-2.0.pc is missing. Indeed, the pkgconfig file is absent from /usr/lib/pkgconfig. I had a look at the source RPM package for gnome-python. The file is here, but it is excluded from the binary RPM (i.e. not declared in the specfile). - - So I copied that file to its proper place and compilation succeeded. Then I had a run-time error: the module ui from gnome.ui was missing. Another look at the gnome-python package: that module is there for gtk-1.2 but not for gtk-2.0. And similarly, it seems to be there in the source package, but not declared in the specfile so not installed. Did I miss something, or is SuSE's package miserably broken? Thanks for your opinions! - -- Thibaut Cousin Web : http://www.thibaut-cousin.net -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2-rc1-SuSE (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/WDIifBjEv/Ah2egRAhWmAJsHL/slzNK6NYtmuqGppbx/UmgHHACfXk5n AP7Z+bg1SSFiXe+SRmjsOBQ= =Yubo -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
