ATAPI
by Donald D Henson 06 Aug '04

06 Aug '04

(SuSE 9.1 Pro) I've been trying to get grip to work. On the grip list, they tell me I need to specify a specific ATAPI device using a command-line option something like: -D ATA:0,0,0 except that I need to replace the zeros with my specific system information. Unfortunately, no one of the grip list seems to know how I can determine my specific system information. I'm sure there's a command somewhere, similar to fdisk for partitions, that will give me the info I need but I'll be danged if I can find it. Will some kind soul please tell me what command I'm looking for? Sincere appreciation for your time. -- Donald D.

Can someone PLEASE file under private cover attach from 9.1 Pro. and from /etc/hotplug, the following 2 files: hotplug.functions & hotplug.subfs.functions I suspect 1 or both files are "bad." Thanks, Fred -- "Ballmer is no more designed for the art of persuasion than the Abrams tank is for delivering meals on wheels."

I have Postfix setup to route email to my Cyrus-IMAP server, but it is not working. It is still only accesible through POP. How do I correct this. I set everything up using the README.SuSE file in the Postfix doc package. Any suggestions would be grateful. Thanks! NeoFax

03 Aug '04

I'm trying to get an MP3 player, but I want to get something that will work with Linux....meaning something that I don't need to use software with. Can anyone make any recommendations? I'd like to keep it under $250. Thanks, Tom -- Tom Nielsen Neuro Logic Systems, Inc. 1.805.389.5435 x18 www.neuro-logic.com

file splitter
by Steve Adams 03 Aug '04

03 Aug '04

I have a ThinkPad without a driver for its network card. Obviously, I can't just download the driver directly to the ThinkPad. I can download the driver to a different system that's running linux, but it's a little more than 7MB in size, and won't fit on one floppy. Q: What utility can I use to copy the driver file to multiple floppies, and still be able to reconstitute the driver file on the Windows machine?

Gnome-Python Package Broken?
by Scott Leighton 03 Aug '04

03 Aug '04

I have the gnome-python package installed from the SuSE 9.1 DVD but python acts like it isn't there. The problem has come up while trying to get gramps to work. The gramps folks all point to a broken SuSE package, the comment I see frequently is "SuSE is known for shipping incomplete gnome-python packages." But no-one seems to be able to point me to a solution. The error shows up like this.... helphand@helphand:~> python Python 2.3.3 (#1, Apr 6 2004, 09:45:08) [GCC 3.3.3 (SuSE Linux)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import pygtk >>> pygtk.require('2.0') >>> import gnome.ui Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? ImportError: could not import bonobo.ui >>> Now, both gnome.ui and bonobo.ui *are* installed and *are* on my hard drive in the locations seen here ... <http://www.suse.com/us/private/products/suse_linux/prof/packages_amd64/pyth…> Both Python and the gnome-python package came straight from SuSE media and were installed via Yast. Can anyone point me in the right direction for solving this? Scott -- POPFile, the OpenSource EMail Classifier http://popfile.sourceforge.net/ Linux 2.6.5-7.95-default x86_64
