What do you have set up to run there? btw, they're not errors, they are notifications that root has logged in and out respectively (or, technically, that a login session has started and ended, this doesn't have to be a real login, it can also be that a process has launched as that user by cron) -- 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

SCO-ansi terminal emulation ?
by Chadley Wilson 30 Aug '05

30 Aug '05

Greetings, Does suse 9.3 have a sco-ansi terminal emultor, we use Basis Pro5 in the world of golfers, and it requires so much modification of termcap to get it to work on linux. And even then some times borders are drawn with characters and other times borders are nice. We have to preset user profiles with TERM-ansi; TERMCAP=/u/pro5/termcap.custom; export TERM TERMCAP, and we can't use bash we have to specify sh etc.. Isn't there a simpler way. We don't run X at all we are completely terminal based (as in thin clients and sco/linux console) , I would like to trash the sco-unix setup at each site and run on linux. Man what a job!! I had a look at the tty's and pts's but can't seem to find away to set them so that every thing works with out having to specify terminals each time. For example, I set user dave to ansi he can only use hotkey or a thinclient, he can not work on the server or another linux console. This makes him partially mobile on the course as there are only certian points he can access, or mary who is setup for linux console can't access the system out on the course, so to fix a problem at the POS point she must venture all the way back to the office. (Some of the gold clubs are massive). So we setup two user accounts for each person, now we have a mamoth administration job, and ID10T users who can't remeber there own names and can't login, or they logged in with the wrong username at a point which messed up the display, and because the screen looks all messed up they reset the terminal and then things go from minor to hell, and the terminal must be reset. I must get in the car drive all over the country fixing this nonsense. Please HEAR my cry for help!! I neeeeeed to simplify the profiles, or have dual support in one profile. Any tips, tricks, hacks, cracks, or real solutions would be so greatly appreciated that if I can, I will send a bottle of something you like!

shell interface that is compatible with ansicoe
by Chadley Wilson 30 Aug '05

30 Aug '05

Greetings, I have played and seen and found that cdialog and dialog won't work in our system, ansi and ansicoe doesn't seem to be supported and we run our primary software using ansicoe what would be the best suggested way of building an interface that runs under the linux console, hotkey, and thin client ansi emulation ? even better to resolve all of my problems, is there a way to get an anscoe pluging for the linux shell and konsole ? -- -- Chadley Wilson Production Line Superintendant Pinnacle Micro Manufacturers of Proline Computers ==================================== Exercise freedom, Use LINUX =====================================

Bluetooth mouse in SuSE 9.3
by Scott Stickeler 30 Aug '05

30 Aug '05

Hi All, I have been trying to get my Bluetooth mouse ( Kensington PocketMouse ) working with SuSE 9.3. I can get SuSE and my mouse to communicate ( it shows "Kensington PocketMouse" connected when I put the pointer over the bluetooth icon in the toolbar ) but the mouse doesn't do anything. Is there something else I need to configure? The other odd thing is that if I type "bluetooth:/" into Konquerer it shows my mouse but it has a joystick icon. Could this be the problem? Thanks, Scott

artsmessage : Sound server fatal error, cpu overload
by Arun K. Khan 30 Aug '05

30 Aug '05

While using multimedia apps such as kscd/amarok/rhythmbox (that access the sound card thru artsd sound server), the system freezes and then I get a dialog box "artsmessage : Sound server fatal error, cpu overload" Thereafter, no sound from the app. I have played around with the sound system settings in KDE sound control center with no avail. At present the settings are ALSA/FullDuplex in the HW panel. In the General panel I have set the priority to "realtime." I can play a CD/MP3/OGG files with alsaplayer though in this scenario. I am encountering this on both 32 bit as well as 64 bit editions of SuSE 9.2 and 9.3. SuSE 9.2/9.3 (32/64bit) KDE: 3.4.2 (9.3) Sound Card: SBLive 5.1 Any solution/workaround for this problem?
