Boot error msg question
by Donn aka n5xwb Washburn 02 Sep '03

02 Sep '03

Hey Group; After the recent reload for my SuSE 8.2 CDs (with no upgrades or patches) I am getting a list of errors during boot about various rpmorigs. Any clues as to what it means? What is RPM/SuSE looking for? The file appear to be text (good news). Are these errors from the CD load, whats loaded or need to be configured notes. I have never notice this kind of error before. __________________________________________________________________ ERROR at boot. Searching for unresolved configuration files done Please check the following files (see /var/adm/rpmconfigcheck): /etc/cron.daily/tetex.rpmorig /etc/pam.d/sshd.rpmsave /etc/permissions.d/tetex.rpmorig /etc/profile.d/tetex.csh.rpmorig /etc/profile.d/tetex.sh.rpmorig /etc/texmf/XDvi.rpmorig /etc/texmf/config.ps.rpmorig /etc/texmf/fmtutil.cnf.rpmorig /etc/texmf/language.dat.rpmorig /etc/texmf/mktex.cnf.rpmorig /etc/texmf/modes.mf.rpmorig /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf.rpmorig _________________________________________________________________ (see /var/adm/rpmconfigcheck) = it shows the above list only -- 73 de Donn Washburn __ " http://www.hal-pc.org/~n5xwb " Ham Callsign N5XWB / / __ __ __ __ __ __ __ 307 Savoy St. / /__ / / / \/ / / /_/ / \ \/ / Sugar Land, TX 77478 /_____/ /_/ /_/\__/ /_____/ /_/\_\ LL# 1.281.242.3256 a MSDOS Virus "Free Zone" OS Email: n5xwb(a)hal-pc.org Info: http://www.knoppix.net

How do I connect a Canon A70 to Linux
by Tom Nielsen 02 Sep '03

02 Sep '03

I just bought a Canon A70 digital camera and wanted to know the best way to transfer photos from the camera to my SuSE box. I'm running 8.2. I really don't want to go out and buy a card reader, rather I just want to plug in the camera's USB cable and see in in Konq. Thanks, Tom -- Tom Nielsen Neuro Logic Systems 805.389.5435 x18 www.neuro-logic.com

(Thank you James!) Linux: # rpm -qa | grep gcc libgcc-3.3-43 gcc-c++-3.3-43 gcc-g77-3.3-43 gcc-3.3-43 gcc-info-3.3-43 gcc-objc-3.3-43 gcc-java-3.3-43 Note: I that I running kde 3.1.3 which I install rpm by rpm using apt-get.... The problem I have now is that kde 3.1.3 dies when I run BURN. Double ugh! I already had the problem of kde dying before using k3b before and I solved it my changing the version of qt3 Here's my version of qt3 rpm -qa | grep qt3 qt3-3.2.0b1-6 qt3-devel-3.2.0b1-6 Does anyone know what version of qt3 is required for k3b-0.10 under KDE3.1.3??? What version of qt3 are you using ? I tried to install qt3-3.1.1-71 but doing so would create mega dependancy problems. Can anyone out there please help me? TIA James

RE: [SLE] does virus and worms affects linux ?

Otherwise you will need to revert to your backups. You do backups I hope! If using vmware or Win4Lin you should be able to run a virus scanner. On Wine or Codeweavers Crossover I don't know of any virus sanners that work. Files infected by a virus using Wine would have to be removed by hand. The linux operating system itself would not likely to be effected. -- Regards, Graham Smith --------------------------------------------------------- -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq(a)suse.com

Brand New System ! (Was :: No more XD2, now I have etc)
by Thinker 02 Sep '03

02 Sep '03

After everything I went through to try to get the system to stabilize, it finally got to the point where nothing would work (at all) so I decided to reinstalled the 8.2 system via ftp. It seems someone should put a warning label out there for those newbies considering the installation of Ximain XD2 and red carpet. I hope I am not wrong in thinking that those utilities are the reason my machine died? Now for my real questions. 1. Now that I have a clean system, how exactly should I go about installing apt and after I install apt, should I never use Yast2 again? 2. I selected Gnome in the resinstallation. What is the difference between ULB GNOME 0.3.2 and the Gnome that comes with 8.2?

Trying to run a program built on a later version of Linux
by Linux Mailing lists account 02 Sep '03

02 Sep '03

I'm currently running SuSE-7.3. I have engineering programs that prevent me from upgrading to SuSE-8.X at this time. I have another program that appears to have been built on a later version of Linux. It claims to need: libc.so.6 (GLIBC_2.3) ld.so says libstdc++.so.5 needs it. Near as I can tell, the libc.so.6 I have is GLIBC_2.2. Is this a system specific library? (i.e. I can't upgrade it w/out upgrading the system?) -Gerry linux(a)darykon.cet.com

GCC 3.3 RPMs
by James Ogley 02 Sep '03

02 Sep '03

Hi, Does anyone have a copy of the RPMs of the original GCC 3.3 official release that were in /pub/people/pthomas/gcc at the time? (Note, not the new 3.3.1 packages from /pub/projects/gcc) Reason being that I just upgraded to the 3.3.1 RPMs, and have been unable to compile either the latest GIMP or GStreamer plugins this morning as a result. [Incidentally, the packages in question are: cpp, gcc, fcc-c++, gcc-g77, gcc-info, gcc-java, gcc-objc, gnat, gnat-runtime, libgcc, libgcj, libgcj-devel, libobjc, libstdc++, libstdc++-devel] Thanks in advance James -- James Ogley, Webmaster, Rubber Turnip james(a)rubberturnip.org.uk http://www.rubberturnip.org.uk Jabber: riggwelter(a)myjabber.net Using Free Software since 1994, running GNU/Linux (SuSE 8.2) GNOME updates for SuSE: http://www.usr-local-bin.org

cannot open ftp site
by himbA 02 Sep '03

02 Sep '03

Hello, I'm running Suse 8.2, KDE 3.1.1 and konqui as my web browser. I can access all internet web pages just fine with konqui except for ftp:// sites. After a while of loading page (eg. ftp://ftp.suse.de/) i get 'Can not connect to localhost'. Other utils, such as Kbear work fine, it is just konqui that cannot access ftp pages. Has anyone had similar problems ? regards, himba -- This €-mail was Kmailed.
