Modem set-up for Hylafax
by Phil 25 Nov '04

25 Nov '04

I'm trying to set-up my modem and Hylafax. The modem set-up facility in kde is for dial-up isp service. it reports my modem on ttyS14. setserial reports settings, but so does every other com port. how can I check which com port the modem is on and is there a simple communications program where I can send some AT commands to the modem to see if it is responding properly. Then I'll ask some Hylafax questions

FW: [SLE] wireless card ipw2100 - SOLVED
by Thom Nowakowski 24 Nov '04

Edit the line STARTMODE='onboot' to "manual" in the ifcfg-<your eth0 device> in /etc/sysconfig/network. Take a look at man ifcfg it may help also. Rerun SuSEConfig to be sure, then reboot or init i, init 5 to see if it helps. Please let me know.

I had a similar issue with my Toshiba Tecra 9100. What I found for me is that the DHCP service does not handle gracefully a condidiotn where it tries to initialize both eth0 (my wired nic) and the wireless nic under conditions that eth0 is not plugged in; it backgrounds the DHCP attempts for eth0 and does not seem to get an address for the wireless nic. I could get things started manually, but it was a pain. What i did to address it, was to set eth0 not to start "on boot" but "manual" in the setup of the device. This way on bootup the DHCP service did not seem to get confused by not getting an address ont he wired nic during bootup and did get an address for the wireless nic. This may not address your issue, but perhaps its relevant. Plese let me know if this helps or not. David abraham(a)esper.com.

Check ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/9.2/suse/ every once in awhile (Right now it contains only the source code). The last word I heard was that they would put the rest of 9.2 up around the end of the year.

Balmer threatens Asian governments who want to use Linux
by Gil Weber 24 Nov '04

24 Nov '04

A fascinating article on CNN.com at link below. Balmer threatens governments using Linux with lawsuits over alleged intellectual rights infringements. Classic quote from Ballmer at end of article: "We think our software is far more secure than open-source software. It is more secure because we stand behind it, we fixed it, because we built it. Nobody ever knows who built open-source software," he added. Chutzpah!!! ;o) Here's the link to story. Gil http://www.cnn.com/2004/TECH/biztech/11/19/tech.microsoft.reut/index.html

init 5 kills my keyboard
by Felix Miata 24 Nov '04

24 Nov '04

This "just" started happening. I don't recall anything I did on the last boot several days ago before turning it off. So, I don't have any clue where to start looking. If I boot to runlevel 3, everything works, but only until I do 'init 5' or 'telinit 5'. Then the keyboard just dies. If I boot directly to runlevel 5, nothing but the reset & power buttons work. To run X, I must login and then do startx. This I do not like. How can I fix this? -- "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..."

Double Layer DVD problems may be kernel bug on heavily loaded systems
by Mark Gray 24 Nov '04

24 Nov '04

I tried to copy the 9.2 installation DVD to disk using two different DVD readers on running 9.1 systems, and they both failed with read errors part way through. Then I booted up the rescue system from the 9.2 DVD and copied the DVD to hard disk without any problems. To my mind this shows that the problem is caused by an interrupt related bug in the IDE driver. Just my $0.02 worth.

SLES 9.0 Installation, Kernel Panic Out Of Memory.
by mmarseglia 24 Nov '04

24 Nov '04

Hi folks, I just downloaded SLES 9.0 and went to install it on a Compaq Proliant, Pentium Pro, 384MB RAM Server and got the following message: Kernel Panic: out of memory and no killable processes. Is there a way around this? I've tried the "Safe" installation and "text mode" with no effect. Thanks!
