I retyped it, this time correctly, now I get "Module IPV6 is in use" I also tried "ifdown -dhcp" but got "dhcp no such interface" "ERROR: Interface not available and no configuration found" dmc -- ___________________________________________________________ Sign-up for Ads Free at Mail.com http://promo.mail.com/adsfreejump.htm

sata cdrw/dvdrom installation
by Abram B Olson 01 Apr '05

01 Apr '05

So my ide cdrom drive died this morning, it was old and had been making weird noises for a while. I replaced it with a sata cdrw/dvdrom combo drive. My system boots fine but the cdrom no longer works in suse. I looked in the yast2 cdrom section and it doesn't see any drives. I also looked in the Hardware Information section but I didn't see anything that looked like a sata cdrom. The bios see's the drive and I can boot from it although the suse installation fails after it loads the kernel (even though it loads the sata_sil and scsi_mod modules). In winxp the cdrom works fine so I know that it is plugged in all the way and has power. I've looked through dmesg and I see four scsi devices (formerly there were only three) so the kernel seems to be seeing the drive. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Abe

Redhat might be big now in servers but they have no **recent** 'desktop' client. Yes there is community fedora stuff but thats not really 'redhat'. Redhat gave up on 'desktop unix' - make your head think about that. I'm not sure i want to pay redhat bucks for a lamp server. - I can do that 9.2 professional. Redhat works for pointy haired bosses that need 'support' (or those who buy sco liciences) Thats my view --- it clown <suse(a)mailbox.co.za> wrote: > If you look at: > > http://www.theregister.com/2005/04/01/red_hat_fy05_results/ > > It says that redhat is quite huge. > > How does suse compare to redhat? > ______________________________________________________________ > http://www.webmail.co.za the South African FREE > email service > > -- > 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 > > > Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com

RE: Crapy sound playing mp3 produced by lame
by Martin 01 Apr '05

01 Apr '05

Hi experts, I'm trying to convert wav files to mp3 using grip/lame but they sound really bad comparing with original wav. I have tried all suported bitrate on two different PCs with no difference. Anyone can suggest what may be wrong? Thx, Martin __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Re: 9.0 laptop route prob

Jay Savage said: snip... John, >What exactly do you mean by "gets through to the router"? Without more >information, here are a couple of things to think about: Opening up Konqueror on the desktops immediately allows Internet access through the Linksys 80211B router and the cable modem. Not so with the Toshibo Satellite 4030CDT, which has 9.0 as do the desktops on this home LAN. >1) DHCP: > a) are you using a static IP on a network with dhcp servers?

It's a little strange that >you're having to do this in advanced. are you getting a message about >trying to modify files that are in use by dhcp?

I did that several times as you suggest, but no joy. Situation persists. The xircom card feels very hot sometimes. At bootup eth0 fails. I can bring the green light on with ifconfig eth0 up 192.168.1.107 and ping other hosts by their hostname. >2) DNS: > You haven't mentioned looking into it yet, but it's by far the most >common network problem, especially with laptops.

There is a dongle in another pc , but I dont know beans about wireless yet. The laptop had a linksys pcmcia card which was recognized by cardctl, but I have removed it and its config. Hope these are reasonable responses. >HTH, >--jay >-- Many Thanks --John

Firefox opening new window instead of tab.
by Tim Nicholson 01 Apr '05

Despite having the "Open links from other applications in: anew tab in the most recent window" in Firefox 1.0, when I click on a link in an email in Thunderbird it always opens it in a new window!!!
