I believe that `make zlilo' will do the compile also (which produces no

As far as HTML mail goes, I ignore it.  Not because I can't read it, but
because plain and simple I don't need to read it and I don't want to read
it.  It is annoying.  The same with vcards except they're not quite as
annoying.=20

Two weeks ago I would have agreed with you.  But=20
I have since found that each distro has its strong
points.  SuSE makes an awesome workstation, but
trying to make it into a gateway with DHCP is a losing
proposition.  (I patted myself on the back yesterday
for setting SuSE up just like this.  I rebooted it
many times to prove it will work from ground zero,
and 18 hours later, it's dead.  No DHCP, won't
init eth0, no routing.)  Red Hat, on the other hand,
handles DHCP with a mouse click.  Throw in LinuxConf
(which works in text mode and GUI) and the marketing
(smell the money and the future), and I feel the=20
pull, drawing me back into its clutches.

In this country (USA), Red Hat rules, and SuSE is=20
third (or fourth, depending on the survey).  I=20
have only so much resources, so I think I'm going=20
to have to focus on the future.

Just remember the 20th century paradigm: Build a better

the rights to it and shelve it; 3) I'll boost my
marketing efforts and squash it.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"

The intent of Yast, it seems, is to provide coordinated control over the
software that's installed on one's system.  It certainly works well for
the software provided by SuSE, and from what I've read it also works
tolerably well for some (but not all) packages in RPM format.  The
hangup there seems to be packages that were specifically configured for
RedHat systems.

But what's missing is a facility for keeping track of packages that
aren't provided by SuSE and are in .tgz form.  It was suggested to me
that the instmon tool would help with those - but that still leaves me
with two different, uncoordinated package managers.  I'd very much like
to see Yast enhanced to become a really effective general package
manager.

There are several cases to consider:

1. Packages not provided by SuSE at all.

2. SuSE updates to previously installed .tgz packages.

3. .tgz updates or extensions to SuSE packages.

Installing a .tgz package has two basic steps: unpacking the package and
installing its contents.  The installation typically involves three
substeps (for Gnuish software, anyway):

   ./configure
   make all (which does the compilation)
   make install

However, there are lots of variations, so I see little hope of
automating the installation phase.

What Yast *could* do would be to do the unpack to a standard location,
take a snapshot of the system, and then instruct the user to do the
installation.  After the installation is complete, Yast would then take
a second snapsnot.  (That's more or less what instmon does.)  Those
snapshots could then be used for automated uninstallation.  Optionally,
the unpacked files could then be discarded.  The package would be
included in Yast's list of what's in the system.

Yast does in fact process .tgz files - but all it does is to unpack them
to the root directory--which is worse than useless.

A couple of examples of things I've done or plan to do:

- Installing KDE 1.1 on a SuSE 5.3 system (works fine, but I dread the
  next update)

- Installing the TeXLive distribution

Thoughts, anyone?

I've noticed that when I use Yast to search for installed packages on my
system (using F5 under Package Information), the search takes several
minutes - far longer than it takes to search the CDROM.  Since the
search appears to be almost entirely a CPU computation, I'm puzzled as
to why it should take so long.  Have other people had the same
experience?

Always in S.u.S.E. Linux 5.3 I used "script" option in kppp on my 2500 Laptop.

This is what I always did with xisp ( kppp before they added the "k") in both
Linux for the Power PC and MK Linux on my Apple 7600.

Now I switched setting to PAP, and vunderbar, I am Netting again.

Before I was told to avoid PAP and CHAP and stuff by the phone support at
!nteract Services, (uswest ISP).

Apparantly scripts don'y trigger pppd or diald or whatever. Anyway. Now ppp
works. I have WordPerfect downloaded and going.

Now if I can only find a girl friend...

I am having nothing but trouble setting up DHCP client on a suse 5.3
pc.  I got the dhcp server working on another pc with suse 5.3.  my
windows clients have no problem connecting to it.  I haven't rebooted
the server, but i noticed when I reboot the client, the dhcp client
stuff stops working.=20

I like suse alot, but I am getting tired of messing with dhcp. =20

Looks very similar to the error I was getting (spawning too fast ...)

Let me know if you get it corrected.

I am very close to wiping my install and starting from scratch.

So much for upgradeability (which was, after all, the only reason that I
use SuSE!)

So I got another floppy drive connected via the parallel port, this one=20
can't be marked as bootable by the bios, however I can run loadlin from it
and this way the CDROM is plugged in at the kernel boot time.

However I can't seem to get the correct file/options set to boot the linux
kernel on the SuSE floppy using loadlin from a DOS prompt. Here is what I
tried:

loadlin e:\linux root=3D/dev/hdc ro

It loads the kernel with the following standard messages::

LOADLIN v1.6a (C) 1994..1996 Hans Lermen =20

'Loading..........................(etc - 1 1/2 lines worth)'

Then it starts the boot of the kernel.
This time is does recognize the CDROM since it is installed at boot time with:

hda: TOSHIBA MK3003MAN, 2937 MB w/128kB Cache, CHS=3D746/128/63
hdc: TOSHIBA CD-ROM XM-2402B, ATAPI CDROM drive

But right after:

Partition check:
 hda: hda1 hda2 hda3 < hda5 >
hdc: media changed

Then it errors out with:

[MS-DOS FS Rel. 12,FAT 0,check=3Dn,conv=3Db,uid=3D0,gid=3D0,umask=3D022,bmap]
[me=3D0x0,cs=3D0,#f=3D0,fs=3D0,fl=3D0,ds=3D0,de=3D0,data=3D0,se=3D0,ts=3D0,ls=

So this time it booted and mounted the CDROM read-only, however now it is=20
complaining about a console path.

Any clues???

Is anyone connected to Roadrunner with SuSE 6.0?  If so, I'd very much

Good Morning,
8:20, here
I received my SuSE 6.0 saturday. The 5.3 setup was better than the 6.0. I did=
 a
fresh install for the 6.0, not an upgrade. The first thing I happen to face w=
as
(and still I'm a facing it). My keyboard is of the  QWERTY type (the type
depends on the first six letter on the keyboard, so you can have qwerty qwertz
and  azerty which correspond to english german and france keyboards) with the
necessary accented letters (egrave, eacute ecc.) on the left of the "enter"
button. In YaST I chosed "qwerty-it", tried out and I got a few greek letters,
namely: alpha, capitol Phi, theta ecc. Well, it may be useful when I type math
symbol in latex, but I happen more often to use accented letters and i
still prefer to type an è instead of  \'e. The same behaviour happens
with "qwerty-ibm" and "qwerty-it2", but didn't happen with SuSE 5.3. When I am
in an X window I have a full italian keyboard.
There are other oddities but I will further investigate before posting to this
list and to the customer support.

Suggestions?

TIA

Maurizio.

P.S.
I noticed that in the 5.3 manual and in also in the 6.0 manual the name of Le=
nz
Grimmer is not mentioned! Don't worry, Lenz, I just corrected it ;-)

P.P.S
There is also an nice sticker with the SuSE logo. Very nice...if my keyboard
talks italian...

Ciao,
M.=20

  The crypt package I know of is part of glibc and needs to be compiled
into glibc at the time of compile. Don't know of any other crypt package
that would cause probems during the compilation of other programs.

Well, a quick search of the documentation that comes with SuSE lists
these files, amongst several others, that cover "respawning too fast":

Text-Terminal-HOWTO: Trouble-Shooting (software) =20
    http://localhost/doc/howto/en/html/Text-Terminal-HOWTO-17.html>

The Linux Serial HOWTO: Troubleshooting=20
    http://loca=
lhost/doc/howto/en/html/Serial-HOWTO-14.html>=20

The Linux Modem HOWTO: Troubleshooting=20
    http://localh=
ost/doc/howto/en/html/Modem-HOWTO-12.html>=20

The Linux Bootdisk HOWTO: Troubleshooting, or The Agony of Defeat.=20
    http://lo=
calhost/doc/howto/en/html/Bootdisk-HOWTO-7.html>=20

The Bootdisk HOWTO says:

If init starts, but you get a message like:=20

        Id xxx respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes =20

it is coming from init, usually indicating that getty or login is dying
as soon as it starts up. Check the getty and login executables and the
libraries they depend upon. Make sure the invocations in /etc/inittab
are correct. If you get strange messages from getty, it may mean the
calling form in /etc/inittab is wrong. The options of the getty programs
are variable; even different versions of agetty are reported to have
different incompatible calling forms.

As if throwing MS products into the mix weren't enough,
RoadRunners are different.  Hawaii's is completely
different and incompatible with the mainland, and
it would not surprise me if there were variances
across the country.  Beware.

Not sure, but here's something realted which is quite strange.

With the es1370 kernel drivers you can play sound and cds in kde, but if you
enable system sounds you can still hear the relevant sounds by using the media
player - but not with the test button (or by triggering the event) in the sou=
nd
setup.

So I installed the latest OSS drivers which set the mixer correctly and allow
sounds to be heard by pressing the test button, it also displays some info in
the sound info panel of kde.  Which is basicaly the output of a cat
/dev/sndstat command.

o as root I did a cat /dev/sndstat > sndstat to get the message into my root
directory.  Then I disabled the oss drivers and recompiled the kernel with its
own sound drivers.  Then if you do cat /dev/sndstat it reports cat: not
supported by device.  So I did an mv sndstat /dev/sndstat to overwrite the
soundstat file with the one generated by the oss drivers.

System sound will then work in kde!  But you still have to adjust the mixer
everytime you boot :(

Dunc.

Hi everybody,

When I start my computer running SuSE 6.0 I receive the following error
:

"cannot determine local host name. Use the servername directive to set
it manually".
When I press enter, I get the prompt and the login-process works just
fine. How do I remove this error and what should I do to start x (KDE)
automaticaly. I used Redhat before SuSE and then it was OK to edit the
etc/inittab manually. This may sound a "basic" question but I'm new to
all this.

TIA

Hello,

I have installed SuSE on a PII-300 with a Wide SCSI drive connected to a
Adaptec SCSI controller.  It works great!!

Now, on to samba, I have tried to up the performance of my samba server
while *sharing* an access database.  I try to add the "socket option =3D
TCP_NODELAY"  but in the log it says there is no such flag.

I installed the samba rpm from the cd.

Any insight to this problem, Any else solve it?

Thanks

Lach

 I have not accomplished this yet (permanently).  I have been on RR with
SuSE
6.0.  You just have to set up your IP/Mask/DNS info and go.  You'll
eventually need a DHCPCD package (free).

I understand that RR is not necessarily the same thing around the country.

HTML mail is no problem if you have an entry in your mailcap file.
This is a list with many new users, so the users with experience can
simply addjust theis mailcap.
=20
Add:
-----
text/html; html2txt; copiousoutput
-----
to ~/.mailcap and put the Perl-script (attached) into your path.

I hope this small script is usefull.
It just requires 'lynx' and 'perl'.

If you do not use your system for faxing purposes, you may safely comment

This is new since Pine 4.xx. There is an article in our SDB about this:

Hmm, I have a SB16 PnP running with 2.2.1:

This is what I have in /etc/conf.modules:

alias char-major-14       sb
post-install sb /sbin/modprobe "-k" "adlib_card"

What errors do you get?

Well quite. Netscape doesn't seem to do this, but in other respects is
the only usable mail client I've come across for Linux - which isn't
saying much, and is quite a shock. Vast numbers of mail clients, pretty
much all of them either an apalling user experience (eg: PINE),
completely incomprehensible (eg: Applix, StarOffice) or just plain
incapable (eg: KMail). Netscape is hardly ideal (not being able to
handle more than one POP3 source is a disaster), but it's the best of a
bad bunch. I'm on a large number of high-volume mailing lists and I'm
used to Messenger Pro on RISC OS which does this sort of thing perfectly
and is one of the two reasons why I still use my Acorn when I'm in its
presence (the other being Zap).

I removed the SuSE Apache installation completely, and installed instead
my own straight from apache.org, because I wanted to attach JRun to it,
and because I just wanted a clean vanilla upgradeable version all
sitting neatly in one place (/usr/local/apache). The trick is that when
YAST asks you if you want to resolve dependencies for other packages
before you do an install, is don't hit AUTO. If there's a way I can
persuade YAST that Apache is installed (which it is), please let me
know!

Well actually, when I just let it do its stuff, it worked fine...

I bought ApplixWare for Linux this weekend and went to install it.

Now, I've got SuSE 6.0 installed which is apparently libc6 (glibc). So I
was a bit surprised to discover Applix trying to install its libc5
version when there's a libc6 version just sitting there.

It turns out that one of its criteria for determining that this is a
libc6 system, is to look for /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.2.8. This doesn't
exist in SuSE 6.0 - it has libstdc++ 2.7 and libstdc++ 2.9, but not 2.8.
First I tried to just create a symlink from version 2.9 to version 2.8,
and Applix installed the libc6 version, but failed to work due to
unresolved symbols. Then I tried to find a libstdc++ 2.8, but found that
very difficult, finally found sources to 2.8.1 and 2.8.1.1 but they
failed to make (compiler errors, looks like errors in the source code).
This of course might be why SuSE doesn't include them :-)

But anyway, I reverted and just let it install the libc5 version and it
works fine, but it would be nice to be able to know I could install
libc6 software.

It would be even nicer if Applix didn't depend upon internal library
symbols so one could use it with newer versions of the libraries it
uses... I'll be moaning to them about this. :-)

Try enabling socket filtering and compiling. :-) Oh, and with that
disabled, the kernel compiles and runs but we got massive failures
during boot, so I immediately reverted.

... still on 2.2.1

I had a copy of SuSE 5.1 and it was vvslow, but I was inspired to get 6.0
and the search is lighteneing fast maybe it was a bug.

See patch on www.linuxhq.com (patches filter.h, looks like a few lines
were left out when Linus made 2.2.2)

Well, you didn't mention Mutt, so I'll refer you to http://www.mutt.org/>
As long as to you console based !=3D always hard to use you may like what you
find.  I'm by no means a console-only person but I still use Mutt for mail
because it simply has more features than the other mailers I've seen and is
really easy to learn and use.  (I do personally prefer a console mailer so
I don't have to be somewhere I can run x to get my mail, but anyway...)  It
makes processing large volumes of list mail and other mail pretty much
painless.

Yatsen,

Any internal modem will work.....  As long it is not a *winmodem*.  A US
Robotics 56K internal modem is a great product it has jumpers to set the IRQ
and the com port number.

Good Luck,

Neither do I, but I know about a general problem with glibc2.0.6.pre7 and
linux-2.2.X, which probably affects all tools using scsi generic devices,
such as cdutils, xcdroast and probably cdwrite, tool.

The libc-library version SuSE ships is incompatible to 2.2.X kernels wrt.
scsi-generic devices support:

The library's header file /usr/include/scsi/sg.h is incompatible to its
counterpart inside of the kernel (/usr/src/linux/include/scsi/sg.h,
incompatible data types). This results into the kernel (e.g. drivers) and
the library using different data structures when accessing scsi-generic
devices (binary incompatibility).

A brute-force work-around is to copy the kernel's sg.h to
/usr/include/scsi/sg.h and to recompile all tools which access scsi-generic
devices. With some luck, some of these tools will work again.

A proper solution is to rebuild glibc from source and to override glibc2's
sg.h inside of glibc2's sources with the kernel's sg.h before compiling
glibc2. Then recompile all tools which access scsi-generic devices.

However, there are also some reports on linux-kernel on a potential bug
inside of the kernel related to this subject, but I am not knowledgeable
enough to judge on this.

Hi Rachel,

I installed the libc6 version without a glitch.

There is a "how-to" on the web-site, and it tells you that you need to
download a small C library first, but then follow the glibc installation
from CD002 - from within YaST.  This worked fine for me, but you could also
install it as per the CD booklet instructions for Red-Hat.

Here's the URL to the relevant Support Database page:

So, I got another floppy drive connected via the parallel port,
this one can't be marked as bootable by the bios either. However
I can run loadlin from it and this way the CDROM is plugged in
at the kernel boot time.

However I can't seem to get the correct file/options set to boot
the linux kernel on the SuSE floppy using loadlin from a DOS prompt.
Here is what I tried:

"loadlin e:\linux root=3D/dev/hdc ro"

The kernel loads and then starts to boot fine.  This time is does
recognize the CDROM since it is installed at boot time with:

hda: TOSHIBA MK3003MAN, 2937 MB w/128kB Cache, CHS=3D746/128/63
hdc: TOSHIBA CD-ROM XM-2402B, ATAPI CDROM drive

But right after:

VFS: Mounted root (iso9660 filesystem) readonly.
Unable to open an initial console.

It hangs. This time I can load and boot the kernel. The kernel
sees, recognizes and mounts the CRROM read-only, however now it
is complaining about a console path.

Any clues???

After upgrading to 2.2.1, I discovered that I can't get my HP-compatible
printer (on /dev/lp1) to work.

Here's the error message when I call lpr on any printing job:

"cannot create /var/spool/lpd/ljet2p-letter-auto-mono-300/.seq"

Any idea as to what might be behind this? I don't think it's
permission-related, but I may be wrong.=20

Yes, I have precisely the same problem. Are you also using the es1370
driver?=20

I haven't checked out the OSS or ALSA drivers with the new kernel yet
(the latter seem to be highly recommended). They might offer a possible
workaround.

Just a hunch, but the feedback, to me, seems to be related with the high
volume setting necessary to hear any sound output on the card. By
cranking the volume to "eleven" (so to speak), the always-present noise
produced by mouse movement may be made audible. There's a lot of stray
low-frequency noise in computer cases these days, what with the amount
of cards connected to expansion slots.

Again, this is just a hunch.

Hi Rachel,

On the grounds of all the defects you've listed above, may I suggest
XFMail which, as far as I am concerned, performs well in all these
respects (and many others)?

I find it a nice user experience, it is pretty straightforward to
comprehend (though there are a few features you may have to scratch your
head over a bit), it can handle several POP3 sources, it provides good
filtering rules, etc. In fact it has more useful options than I'm
able to count.

Best wishes,
Ted.

What I need to compile and run kernel 2.2.1? SuSE 6.0?
At the moment I've a SuSE 5.3 with kernel (SuSE too) 2.0.36.

gcc is 2.7.2.1, lilo is 1.6a

The problem I have is booting new kernel: it hangs after the message:

<< uncompressing linux ..........ok    now booting the kernel >>

The last time I compiled 2.2.1, it was configured 'very light', nothing
other basic things:
no sound, no SCSI, no network card, no strange fs (ntfs, vfat ...), CPU=3D386
(instead of my PII) etc.

Do someone knows anything?

Thankx
NanniX

Well, I looked at Mutt before, but I really do want an X-based one. What
I *also* want is for whatever I use to use the normal unix mail folders
- Netscape with IMAP might do it but I haven't set that up yet, then, as
you say, I can use a console system remotely - and for such occasions
PINE will suffice. (More commonly I'd choose to set my X or other client
to point IMAP at my mail folders if possible...)

This might seem obvious but caught me out a couple of weeks ago.

Is your PCI modem a real modem or a 'Winmodem'.

If it's a winmodem, it will not work under Linux as I found out to my
cost.

Did you configure your system as a DHCP client? This disables the manual
network configuration.

Yeah, I didn't buy SuSE Linux Office Suite 99, just Applix's own box
which has one disk. However, that stdc++ rpm is exactly what I was
looking for and is probably what I need. I'll find out tonight when I
try it. :-)

This should not be mixed up with my note to you about certain packages
which include encription stuff. "crypt.h" belongs to the C library
(glibc2) and should be installed by default on a SuSE 6.0 system.

This message seems to come from the apache WWW-Server. Make sure, that
/etc/hosts contains your host name. You can set up the name using YaST.

So how do you configure one interface as a dhcp client and another with a
static address for IP Masquerading?

My ISP uses dhcp with a cable modem.  My second NIC serves my other
systems on a 192.168.x.x network.

Thanks,
Paul Hostetler

I cannot get the TeX Live! 'install packages' shell script to work off the
CD. I found the standard distro of teTeX with SuSE ancient and unusable when
it came to reproducing the examples in the LateX Graphics Companion, e.g.
the version of pstricks has 'gradient', etc.  packages that were updated in
1997...  If anyone can help, please do...

Hi,

1. Do you have free space in /var?
2. Do you have a directory called
/var/spool/lpd/ljet2p-letter-auto-mono-300?

Most likely this is the second...

That's true but the other script (run-crons) is definetely needed
since this is the one responsible for calling the hourly, daily
and weekly cron scripts (in /etc/cron.xxx) at appropriate times:

You can at least get rid of the messages in the syslog
by putting a "-" in front of the /etc/crontab entry for
that script:

-*/15 * * * * 	root	test -x /usr/lib/cron/run-crons && /usr/lib/cron/run-crons

My memory may be failing, but didn't I see one or more posts here about=20
utilities that allow "tuning" of TCP parameters like MTU, Window size,=20
etc? Or maybe it related to tuning the modem serial port. Dunno.=20
(Wasn't 'setserial' though).

My problem is that Netscape seems to load some pages very fast, but=20
freezes part way through, requiring a killall. Almost like a buffer=20
overrun or something.

Do you have aumix installed? This can be used at boot time to pre-set the
mixer volumes.

O.k., I found out that my modem won't work under Linux. Same goes for my
soundcard.  I was warned about this in the book "Mastering LINUX". The
writer, Arman Danesh, says  '...you are best off without a Plug-and-Play
modem, and should really consider spending the small amount of extra
money required to get an external modem'. Too bad I took notice of Linux
after I got my new rig. My question is; is there an internal modem that
will work under Linux or will I have to get an external one? If I do
need to get an external modem, is an E-Tech a good choice? Any
suggestions? Thanks.

Hi,

I went a bit further using a good collection of hints (Zentara, your
last two mails were quite helpful in the end) I was on the brink to get
it working.

Zentara, I tried to follow your remarks about these different modules to
load. found out:
1. soundon/soundoff won't work
2. a "modprobe sound" would load all modules.

I had missed to run isapnp (because I thought I wouldn't need it, s.o.
hinted that earlier, but I forgot about that halfway), Zentaras remark
and quoted files rang that bell. Ran all this, logged into X and heared
the famous last words that ironicly were as false as the "original"
speaker HAL9000.
Had a quick think about, all files OK, well "reboot" time, to see
everything work from bootup.
Next thing: KERNEL PANIC!. suspicion. Did I do my work accidently with
the working 2.0.26, all for peanuts? a few reboot attemts with 2.0.36
KERNEL PANIC, including the Messages saing that there's a problem with
the hard drive. After that, JUERGEN PANIC. Emergency system ..... well
*all* my (and this is serious) partitions that had been mounted looked
like a duck that had been hunted with an anti tank grenade. thousends of
errors, duplicate blocks, everything you might think of.
I have to add, that I changed some setup options (once in there to look
for the printer port... I could not resist changeing some), in this case
probably something concerning HD access and DMA.
The disc was not broken (wish it was!), since I could reformat it. So
it'll be a brand new 6.0 install that. Luckyly, I still had my ols 5.3
on the other disc. I hope all this was caused by my foolishness and not
by a severe bug in kernel 2.2.2. Just for the sake of others.

Juergen

I agree with most of that.  I personally dig PINE, but I'm into that
kinky stuff.  It's only really usable though if you use fetchmail, do
the local spool thing and all that.  What I really want is Eudora Pro
for Linux.  I would pay twice the Windows price.

Yes -- the contents of the directory appear at the bottom of the e-mail.

It seems that the .seq file might be causing this problem.

kuser is totally unusable .  It's just not reliable enough for
something like user administration.  The same goes for a few of the
other KDE sysadmin stuff.  YaST does user management pretty well, but I
was still kind of pissed when I first installed SuSE, typed "adduser
luna", and got "command or file not found.  Grrr.

That may be true, but being a lame brain, I posted this even though I
have a SBawe64, not an ensonic.  Sorry, just didn't even pay attention
to the subject line.

I do find it interesting that we have the same problemo with two
different cards, though. =20

I will try the aformentioned drivers when I get a chance (=3D=3D

Hi All;

I, at last, broke down and got myself a new keyboard. My old one was 6
years in use. The new one is quite nice, but I have 5 dead keys. The Win
'95 key and FOUR win '98 keys. My question is how do I find out what command =

each key  sends and how (if possible) to remap them to something usefull? For=
=20
example  I'd like to add the Brit # sign and the Yen. Is it possible to have =

one key give two letters, for example "DM" for German Marks?

Lastly the new keyboard has the Euro sign on it. But when I use it all I
get is a normal small e. Has anyone worked on this yet?

TIA

Ahem.  I sympathize.  Really, I do.  I don't suppose it will help to
mention that I really like the combination of Xemacs and gnus...

Someone else (Ted Harding?) has already mentioned XFMail.  Let me second
that suggestion.  I used it for a long time before I discovered the joys of
gnus, and I liked it a lot.  If you haven't tried it yet, you might want to
check it out.

I am using the diamond supraexpress 56i flashed to v90 with pnp disabled
by jumper.  This modem works quite well under linux and is an internal
one.  I highly recommend you checking it out on their web site.  Something
like www.diamondmm.com.  The modem will allow disabling pnp by moving
a jumper.  The modem has worked flawlessly under NT, 95, BEos, and linux.

Thanks for the support, guys. I just found out that my modem is a *winmodem*.
The phrase 'The PCI56RVP is our top of the line PCI bus Win-modem' on E-Tech's
site couldn't have made it any clearer. However, their FAQ sheet gave me hope.
It sates the following:

Q: Does the PC56RVP modem work with the Linux operating system?

 A: Yes. Any of our Rockwell-based modems that support non-plug-and-play,
 including this one, will work with Linux.

Now I just need to do a littel bit more research. But that's what Linux is all
about, right?

        You can also try WinTalk, a freeware chat program for Windows that
uses UNIX talk protocols, if you'd prefer not to muck about with
scripts.:)

You can find it here:=20

I had some reactions on my perl-script to be able to read HTML-mail.
So I was motivated to do more work on it and to look deeper into the
problem.

Here is a new perl-script: htmlmail.pl.

First, you don't need my script if you want to use 'lynx'.
Second, my script doesn't need 'lynx' anymore and can print in PostScript.

Solution 1:
Add to ~/.mailcap:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
text/html; lynx -dump ; copiousoutput; nametemplate=.html
---------------------------------------------------------------------
if you want 'lynx' to reformat the HTML-mail.

Solution 2:
Add to ~/.mailcap:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
text/html; htmlmail.pl; copiousoutput; print=htmlmail.pl -p
---------------------------------------------------------------------
if you want my script and want to be able to print the HTML-mail in
PostScript.

Put this script somewhere in your path, do a 'chmod +x htmlmail.pl' and
enjoy it.

Cees.

The

Linux

I'm using a Cardinal Connecta 56K 3440 wirh SuSE 6.0 and it works
fine. It's idenetical to the US Robotics Sortster, and while it as a
pnp internal modem, you can disable pnp and assign an irq vai jumpers.
I got the card to work in less than 5 minutes, and haven't had any
problems so far. But beware there's also a winmodem available from
botch Cardinal and USR, so make sure you grab the right one, and you
shouldn't have any problems.

I looked everywhere I could for rpm's for KDE, so I desided to download
the gziped tarballs of KDE1.1 and compile them myself.

 The base of KDE compiled without problems, just follow the instructions
on the INSTALL file and wait, and wait and wait.=20

I tried compiling and installing glib C once and that was quick in
comparison.=20

The only compilation problems I had was that KDE 1.1 works with a more
up to date Qt libary, and kfax. kfax had a probelm compiling, I dont
know what as I am just a newbie, only haveing used linux for a year.

Anyway, the make files are rearly good with kde, and you just need to
remove the name of the faulty app once from the make file (It only
occures once) this stops the neet recursive script from compiling that
directory. Once this is done the rest of the graphics packages installed
perfectly.

Was it worth it? Well KDE 1.1 looks better, it is generaly the same but
improved, I think if you can afford the time go ahead, but it is a big
down load.

I had the same problem with the internal modem that came with my Sony
VAIO.
I yanked it and attached an EXTERNAL Zoom V90 56K FaxModem and it works
great!
(I chose Zoom because they cost less)

Is there a standard location for untarring program source code?  Is it
ok to dump it in /usr/src/ along with the kernel source?  I have been
untarring and compiling from my home directory, but it struck me today
that there may be a convention for this.  =20

Most people prefer to use the directory /usr/local/src for all new stuff and
/usr/local/bin for the installation of new binaries.

I would NOT mix it up with the Kernel source code under /usr/src.

The two most common locations are the directories under /usr/local and
/opt.

Since the HD that my /usr is located on has less than 15 0.000000ree space I
usually install a new app under /opt, if it requests to be placed there,
or I create a new dir on my 6.4GB hd.  Usually, the executable is put
somewhere on the path (/usr/bin, or /usr/local/bin) or the path to the
executable is added to the PATH variable, along with the libraries being
added to LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

Thanks. I took .seq out of the directory, but I'm still getting the
error.

I'm really at a loss as to what's going on. Has anybody else experienced

I've had this problem myself, too -- especially when lots of graphics
are stored in Netscape's cache. Generally, the Netscape window freezes
and blanks (goes white or grey) before I need to execute the killall.

But -- the good news is -- the 2.2.1 kernel solved *most* of the
problem. At least on my rig; your own milage may vary. I still have to
call killall once a day or so, but the frequency's down to 200f
before.=20

I'd highly recommend compiling 2.2.x kernel and trying it out -- yes,
the improvement might be that good.

Greetings,

To those of you who have not ordered your copy of 6.0 yet, here's
something you may be interested in.

I ordered 6.0 from Linuxmall mid Feb, and 7 days later I had it.
Delivered to Houston it was $41. I normally order from cheapbytes but they
did not have it then.

Just a thought.=20

Hello all,

I am running SuSE 6.0 and kernel 2.2.1.  When I start the machine, while
it's running the serial configuration it reports "modprobe:  module
char-major-4 not found" interspersed with the normal setup lines for
ttyS{0,1,3} (which I have installed).  When the machine shuts down, wall
reports an input/output error with ttyp1.  (Others if there are other
ttyps open).  XTerms work ok.  Does anyone know what's going on?

As some of you know, a few weeks ago, we had a Dell Poweredge 2300 arrive as =
our
new mail server and firewall to our LAN, which includes an RS6000 F40.  SuSE =
6.0
didn't arrive right away, and because 6.3 didn't support the embedded SCSI
controller and video, I played around with RH 5.1 and plugged in the drivers =
for
video and SCSI.  Performance was VERY good, but it's just not as polished as
SuSE.

I formatted the drives when 6.0 arrived, my copy that is....the order for
Cornell has NOT arrived yet, and I went to work on the server.  The Dell,
although not my choice for hardware, has taken to SuSE quite well....VERY, VE=
RY
solid!  There's 2 Intel nics. in it...one to our LAN, and the other to the new
XDSL line.  Firewalling and all are now done, and today I started pointing
user's Netscape (4.5 for 'DOZE) to the new server.  Our users have never been=
 so
impressed as many web pages pop up almost immediately!!  Now, I'll change over
e-mail from the "old" NT server to the Linux server.

Any of you who may be considering XDSL, SHOULD do it!!  It's MUCH faster than
cable yet a LOT cheaper.  Our monthly costs are: $250 to our ISP, and $40 per
month to Bell Atlantic...that's it!  Atlantic Bell charged $495 to install the
XDSL line.

Best,

Fred

Hi,

I think there is a bug in the SuSEconfig.java script run by YAST.  What
this script does, is replace .java_wrapper with a new version but it
doesn't set the execute flag of the file.  Because of that, java
programs cannot be run using the java command (which is a symbolic link
to .java_wrapper.

I get error now trying to compile motif apps like this one:

/usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.a(XmRenderT.o): In function `ValidateAndLoadFont':
XmRenderT.o(.text+0x2065): undefined reference to `_Xsetlocale'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [xmmix] Error 1

and

usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.a(XmRenderT.o): In function `ValidateAndLoadFont':
XmRenderT.o(.text+0x2065): undefined reference to `_Xsetlocale'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [xscreensaver-demo] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/src/xscreensaver-3.07/driver'
make: *** [all] Error 5

Looks like a similiar error and I'm wondering if it's related to
SuSE 6.0 as it compiles fine under 5.3 ?

Anyone know ?

Thanks

Actually, I like /usr/local/packages for the .tgz files.  But really (as
I said in another message to this group), Yast ought to be capable of
managing this kind of thing in a systematic way.  Otherwise package
management becomes incoherent and uncoordinated, with Yast doing half
the job and knowing nothing about the other half.

Hello,

        Thanks for the responses, Jeffery and Phil.  Unfortunately I still
haven't got to the root of the problem but  I'll keep you posted,
Jeffery, and let you know if I get it sorted out. I went back to the
archive to read your posting to see how your problem got started. Were you
upgrading or doing a fresh install?=20
=20

        Phil, the sources that you pointed us towards for help in
trying to get to grips with what might be causing the "respawning too fast
etc" error all pointed to problems calling getty or with getty after it is
called.  That is direction that searching on dejanews pointed me to also
so before posting I had compared my /etc/inittab files on my working and "bro=
ken"
installations to see if size and  permissions were the same. I
did a line-by-line comparison of /etc/inittab and couldn't
see any differences.=20

The Bootdisk Howto was particularly useful and I did
some further checking based on the troubleshooting section but still
cannot boot from the 2.0.36 kernel on hda6.  I checked that ldd /sbin/init
points to the same library on both hda6 and hdb3 and rechecked that
/sbin/init.d/boot and /sbin/swapon were both executable.

Based on this and the fact that I was unable to execute an ld -V
commands from my bash shell immediately after I installed the rpms (before
I rebooted) suggests to me that installing the rpms had
*corrupted* my bash shell or deleted some frequently used library. The
warning about the conflict with ansidecl.h  that is contained in the
installation log (see below) has me thinking/hoping that if I could
undo the installation of the binutils and util rpm and reinstall the
earlier versions from my cd that I might be able to get my system
working again.

Anyone know if it is possible to use YaST to uninstall rpms from a
mounted but not / partition? When I boot to my hda6 partition in rescue=20
mode (linux single) it is mounted read-only so I cannot run YaST. When
I boot to hdb3 and mount hda6 on mnt/hda6 YaST naturally enough only
wants to install/uninstall packages from /dev//hdb3. Is there a way
around this catch-22 situation?

Thanks for any suggestions. I'm leaving the full text of the earlier
postings attached to provide context for anyone who feels they might be
able to help. It makes for a long posting.

The tkrat which comes with SuSE 6 is busted and there is a locale fix
we discussed awhile ago.  When one compiles the latest tkrat it also
busts on tcl/tk locale stuff.  Is there a conclusion besides using the
kludgy set command yet?  This was a topic in the list about a week ago.

LinuxWorld kicks off soon.  Be sure to look around the exhibition hall
carefully for the vmware demo.  If you dont know vmware, check out
www.vmware.com for information.  I wont be there unfortunately but
would like to be.  I did help build a few of the systems running a
variety of things.  No more on vmware.  You got to see it to believe it.

I think that there will be a lot of joy in linuxland after the linux
jamboree.  Sorry to sound rather secretive; but just wait and see.=20
There is big news on the horizon.  Check out slashdot and other places
for new on linux.  I forecast that linux will gain a lot after and
during linuxworld.

Bye and have a good show if you go.  If not, watch the usual web spots
for news.

Hi,
 try this out, it should work. Become superuser and give the following
command:

mkdir /var/spool/lpd/ljet2p-letter-auto-mono-300

actually 'ljet2p-letter-auto-mono-300' should be replaced with whatever
entry it has got in /etc/printcap file.

For example, if the followinf entry is there in /etc/printcap,

ps|raw:\
        :lp=3D:rm=3D100.0.0.10:rp=3Draw:sd=3D/var/spool/lpd/lp1_raw
        :mx#0:\
        :of=3D/usr/spool/lp1/hpjlps:
        :lf=3D/usr/spool/lp1/ps-log:

then issue 'mkdir /var/spool/lpd/lp1_raw'

First of all, make sure you have the smbd running. Simply start it with smbd =

For the earlier samba-versions (i.e the one shipped by suse 5.3), the way to
add users is smbpasswd -a. For newer versions I think there is a command
smbadduser. Then you have to set the password with the smbpasswd command (in
both cases). Good luck!

Hi folks,

Sorry for this but yesterday I wasn't paying attention and I deleted a
lot of my e-mails. Those e-mails contained the solution to the problem
why Netscape keeps saying that it can't find that host with every
adress. Could somebody post the solution for this problem again ?

TIA

OK - I'll bite.  Why did it work flawlessly when I rebooted=20
several times?  Doing the math, the DHCP client said it
got a lease for 1800 minutes, which is 10 hours.  That's
about when the whole system collapsed.  Why would eth1
(the non-DHCP'd interface) suddenly lose its routing?
When I got to the machine (two reboots later), the dummy
interface had eth0's parameters, eth0 was 0.0.0.0, and
eth1 was OK (192.168.1.254).  Total weirdness - never saw=20
the likes with RedHat's DHCP.  OBTW - RedHat's distribution=20
of Gnome LinuxConf has YaST begging for mercy (and I thought
YaST was cool compared to Red Hat's control-panel).

The DHCP client I was using is the one on the SuSE website.

SuSE makes an awesome workstation, but I can't get it
to route for beans.

Anyway, being the money-grubbing capitalist republican that
I am, I'm going to focus on where the money is, and in the
US,
RedHat's got the ticket.  At least I can acknowledge whose
slave I am.

The one that Lenz pointed me to has excellent instructions.

That's ok.  Red Hat's working fine.  Thanks anyway.

You can safely blame that on majordomo, though, not the list behavior.
SmartList *never* does that and it runs plenty of lists with the reply-to

YaST's capability of unpacking .tgz-Archives is a leftover from ancient
times, when Software Packages where gzipped tar Archives (like Slackware
has). These Packages contained the whole directory structure and binaries
as well as pre- and postinstall scripts. It was never intended to be used
for _source_-Packages. This would be a hard job, since every source
package requires different rules on how to make a binary of it and has
a different directory structure...

Yes. Mount hda6 on /mnt/hda6, cd to /mnt/hda6 and make a "chroot . bash".
You now have /mnt/hda6 as your root directory. "logout" will get you back

Voodoo Banshee is not yet supported by XFree. There are two workarounds:

Using Kernel 2.2.x and a Frambuffer device:

Using Daryll's X-Server:

Good luck.

Hi everyone!

I'm having trouble with samba and I don't understand what is going on.

I'm trying to access a Red Hat 5.1 Linux Server with samba 2.0.0 from a
SuSE 6.0 station with samba 1.9.18. When I use:

"smbclient //linuxserver/ernesto -U ernesto"

I aceess it without problems, after typing my password of course. When I
try:

"smbmount //linuxserver/ernesto /mnt/server.ernesto -U ernesto"

it asks me for my password but then it gives me an error saying

"mount error: invalid argument"

Can someone gives me an opinion about this please !

thanks

ernesto

ps. I had this working without any problems before upgrading to SuSE 6.0
(using SuSE 5.3) and samba 2.0.0 on the RH machine

Hello Lenz,=20

        Thanks, I'll do that this evening. Do you have any observations on
whether uninstalling the rpms that I installed immediately before I
started having boot problems is a feasible solution? Any particular
"gotchhas" I should look out for?

        Thanks again,

Jesse

This is due to the order you compile the parts of KDE, in C and I assume
C++ headers are parts of the code that are like units in PASCAL, ie
standardised or at least trusted peices of code that are being reused.
Because of this headers are needed to be in location first. I installed
KDE in this order.

kdesupport
kdelibs
kdebase

then everything else in some order or other.

Hope this helps.

Owen

Also I used --prefix=3D/opt/kde as thats where the rpm's put kde

Hey there everyone,

Thanks for the advice on how to install 6. Now, I have another
question: which kernel? I'm just slightly confused by all the
different versions.

I've heard that the 1.1.something kernel that comes with SuSE 6, or at
least the newer kernel closest to 2.2 is pretty reliable and faster
than before. I was really wanting to use a version that is stable,
won't break ppp and has the snazzy new disk caching linux filesystem
I've seen 2.2 has.=20

Is 2.2.1 perhaps the best to go for?

Which one is the one to use do you think? Any help would as always be
greatly appreciated. All these numbers... *headspin* ... :-)

I look forward to actually being able to answer something on here
soon-ish...

Cheers!
Dom

Maybe the library is a libc5 version. Contact your vendor. In our case,
MetroLink, they have libc5 and glibc versions.

Thanks for the advice.=20

I tried what you recommended, but no luck.

I even rm -rf'd the lp1 directory (and its subs), called yast, and
reconfigured a printcap from scratch. The new printcap set=20
up a new set of directories under /lp1, and got rid of some junk.

*Still* no luck. I can't get a handle on what's happening here. I've
even rebuilt a new bzImage or two, not that this should help.=20

I'm running out of ideas. Whew.

You're talking about the console font, not X, I guess:

Thanks -- I took a look at Documentation/Changes, but the changeover
from lp1 to lp0 as the default only seemed to relate to Plug-and-Play --
at least from what I could see in a quick run-thru of this file.

Anyway, after switching to lp0, I don't get the error message (and no
print-out) -- I guess this indicates that the correct port setting is
lp1 for me.

Does anybody have their KSCD workin under kernel 2.2.2 & KDE 1.1?  Mine
is falkey.  I would love to know if anybody either has this working or
has had the same problem I have.  It would help me greatly in
troubleshooting this.  The problems are that kscd will not interact with
the CD-ROM drive unless I have touched it with another program.  If I
mount /cdrom with a music CD in the drive the it tries to mount but
fails.  I can then access the drive to play music.  I can never get the
darn thing to eject.

TIA,

Steve

IIRC, you have to remove the configuration file:

rm ~/.kde/share/config/kscdrc

It should work afterwards.

Here's what I did:

1. Started Yast
2. Choose/Install Packages
3. Package Info
4. Typed "kde" after the colon (but anything else would do).
5. Pressed F5.

The search took 2 1/2 minutes (under 5.3).

    Is there a way (under Netscape Messenger) to move a message from the
Inbox to a particular folder using only the keyboard?  Using F10 I can
get to the Message menu, then M takes me to "Move".  The problem is that
I can't figure out a way to use the keyboard to select the particular
folder I want to move the message to.

By the way, the reason I'm so interested in keyboard-only techniques is
that I find the constant switching between keyboard and mouse to be
stressful on my hands - and carpal tunnel syndrome is something I don't
want.  I would guess I'm not alone in that!

Hi,

I have a problem on both SuSE 5.3 and 6.0 where I lose all sound in the
system (bell and modem dialing sound) and the kbdrate settings after my
laptop is awaken from a suspend due to a closed lid.  APM is compiled
into the kernel.  I have a couple of questions:

1. I can rerun kbdrate to restore the kbdrate setting, but what can I do
to restore the sound?
2. Is there a way to fix it permanently without having to run something
after a suspend?

Thanks,
Avi=20

Strange. I just repeated these steps and it worked fine... Does "top" show
any unusual things? Which version of YaST do you use? I have 0.991.2

There's an update on our ftp-Server to version 0.991.3, this should solve
the problem:

yast.rpm       YaST Version 0.991.3 with some bugfixes
               Fixed scanning RPM database. YaST was confused
               by packages with multiline summary entries.

Hi,

I have a old HP Colorado T1000 tape backup on my machine which I want to use

Do I have to rebuild the kernel to get support for this or can I just load so=

True, but it would nice if there was some way to tell Yast that a
previously installed package has been upgraded by a source compile.=20

Many of us have wrestled with the SiS 6326 AGP to get it to work with

Will the driver for this card be upgraded?
If so when can expect one?
I know this card is capable of much more than it is doing now.
Any Info Helpful

Ian,
There is a version of Manic Miner for SVGALib!
While it doesn't have the same razamataz as Quake, it's simple enough for me
to follow!
I've also seen some work on starting Sonic (X-Hedgehog).

Well, then use RPM! You can install the source RPM of the previous version
and modifiy the spec-File to use the new source tgz. Now rebuild the
package and install the new RPM afterwards. Most of the time, there's not
much more to do than changing the release number of the source package.
There is an article in our SDB, which covers this issue:

Also have a look in Donnie's excellent RPM-HOWTO and the Book "Maximum
RPM", which is also available in PostScript on http://www.rpm.org>

I used to have a Kensington Expert Mouse, one of the best trackballs IMHO,
which broke finally.  However, I bought a Kensington Orbit as a replacement
which does not track as far as the old one.  It takes 3 or 4 swipes of the
finger to get it across the screen.  Is there anyway to adjust this?  I tried
changing some mouse settings in XF86Setup, but nothing had an effect.

I used LessTif-0.87.9 as a replacement for Motif when I compiled XEpehm
3.2 on my SuSE 6.0.  It worked great!
BTW, where did you download the Motif 2.0 lib from?  I surfed their site
but got sticker shock.

Is it possible to use version 0.991.3 with the 5.3 release?  And aside from
that, are there any problems in using the existing Yast to install the new Ya=
st
(since the existing one will be running during the procedure)?

Following Lenz's advice, I decided to replace my existing version of
Yast (from SuSE 5.3) with a newer version.  The existing version is
0.97.4.   I downloaded the .rpm file for the newest Yast and then
started up the old one, specifying "Installation adjustments" and then
"Installation from a reachable directory".  But then, no matter what
directory I specified, even just "/' or "/usr", I got the message "Could
not find the installation directory.  Please enter an existing
directory."  How can I get past that error message?  Is there something
that Yast is looking for in the directory to consider it valid?

However, I was thinking about using The _SuSE Server_ as a _Print Server_
and was interested in others opinions, success and failure stories as well
as suggestions and pointers in creating a Print Server.

I will welcome information off list as well.

I'm relatively new to SuSE, but it appears that SuSE, like other linuxes,
ships with the older versions of ftape, and it is not compiled into the
kernel. According to the ftape docs, this is correct. But you should get
the latest (3.04d) version and *then* compile it as a module. Can't see a
reason to recompile the kernel. Someone jump in if I'm wrong here.

Can't seem to compile kernel 2.2.2 with SuSE 6.0.  The one time it finally did
compile,  it choked on boot-up when it tried to load modules.  After looking =
at
the changes file, it appears that the insmod that comes with SuSE 6.0 is out =
of
date already???  Anyway, I tried to compile everything directly into the kern=
el
with no modules.  Ran  make mrproper, configured kernel, ran   make dep clean
bzImage  and now it wont compile at all no matter what I do.

The long answer is that I believe the route you were attempting was
intended as a full installation of SuSE from a reachable directory on
your hard disk.  Unfortunately I can't recall the correct procedure for
doing what you're trying to do from YaST - I just sort of wing it and
usually get there, sorry.

The short answer is that I installed the latest version of YaST today by
typing as root: rpm -U yast*(whatever its called).rpm=20

And it worked - when I fired up YaST, it had the correct version number.

Thanks Lenz.  That worked well. I removed all the packages I had=20

Sorry but someone has deleted your message about my card order being
refused.  Could you pass this reply over to the correct person in the
order group. The original order was an internet credit card order for
SuSE 6.0.

I checked with the card company and they have no record of any approval
request being turned down.
Could you advise me of what bank was used and what the total amount was,
including shipping.

There is enough available credit to make the transaction and I really do
want the latest version!

Have a good day and keep that SuSE shipping.

Hello all,
I am wonder how to use Sniff+, a commercial package that shipped with
SUSE 6.0.  I am learning to program in C/C++ (well C to start), and
would love to see what this package is like.  When starting Sniff+, I
get a window that tells me that I have no license.  Atmittedly, I
didn't read carefully the msg that popped up while installing.  If
anyone knows where the readme file is, or what I need to do to
activate Sniff+, I'd appreciate it.

Thank you in advance,

Alejandro,
Using yast you can look under:
Yast/System administration/Network configuration

or manually, edit /etc/rc.config

checking for gtk_gl_area_begingl in -lgtkgl... no
configure: error: *** Can't find gtkglarea

If I go=20

I have absolutely no problem printing from Windows
via samba.  Works great - as good as any commercial
print server I've seen.  I can print multiple
jobs, and they queue up just fine.  Expected
behaviour.

The down side is whenever I print multiple jobs
from a Linux program running on the server, the
second job collides (overwrites?) the first,
and the printer starts shooting out paper with
garbage on it.  This behaviour started after I
upgraded to 5.3 (gimp also does not work),
so I suspect I have a glitched upgrade.

YaST is looking for a complete SuSE source, since you're telling it to
do a complete installation of SuSE :(

You want Choose/Install Packages, then select Install Packages. Type in
or navigate your way to the dir where you have the new YaST rpm and
carry on from there.

Since YaST is statically linked, it should also work on a 5.3 system, but
I cannot give you a guarantee for this. You need to update YaST using rpm:
"rpm -Uh yast.rpm". If you experience wierd results, remove the new
package with "rpm -e yast" and reinstall the version from CD or the latest
one from the 5.3 update directory on our ftp-Server.

This is from the package info (Sniff 3.0):

Unfortunately SNiFF+ doens't come with a preinstalled license key any
longer. Run the program /opt/sniff/bin/get_licenseinfo and send the
resulting information via email to .

Hi,

I read few days ago, that the Suse manual is on the CDs, I will just
give my CDs to a friend so he can install at home ( I have the right to
do that ?? right ?? I have a registered copy) but he will need the docs
to do  a very well tuned install ( BTW this is a WTG to you the Suse
boys !! this is the best distro on the market !! no contest !! I gave up
on Red Hat install after 1 hour, I had no problem with SusE :)

So If someone can remind me where the PDF are ?=20

Hi Lenz,

Did you know that the page you referred to in the support database,
is half German. I don't have any problems with this myself, but a
lot of others might.

Sorry, no PDFs. But there's PostScript and DVI in package suse_lxe.
You may need to get the update from the ftp-Server, we've received some
hints, that the package on the CD is incomplete...

I can confirm that. I also started with Redhat en tried 4.2 and 5.2. It gave
me a lot of troubles installing X-windows. With SuSE 6.0 it worked like a
charm altough the SuSE-boys are lying ! Installation in 30 minutes, what a
scam ! It took me at least 45 minutes  ;-).

Lenz,

Thanks for the advice, unfortunately I had already tried that.  I double
checked to make sure I wasn't doing something wrong.  It works just fine
under 2.0.36.  I just tried it on the same box with the same KDE install.
I does not work under 2.2.2.  Perhaps there is something wrong with my
kernel configureation.  I also get an error during boot saying that it cant
find char-major-4. (or something reall close to that.)  That, I believe, is
a serial port.

Steve

Hi. I've got this driver , after two days of troubles and furry I
compile it and compile sane with support to plustek but scannig is
baaaaaaad it's only black:-(.
You must compile it in sources of sane AFTER sane ./cnfigure or better
is install sane source package then done rpm -bp sane.spec in
/usr/src/packages/SPECS,next copy /backend from plustek driver to
/sane-1.0 in /usr/src/packages/BUILD then make in /plustek_driver
next make install and next make in /usr/src/packages/BUILD/sane-1.0 next
make install
and before scanimage -L You must insmod pt_drv . Oh in /dev after
instaling pt_drv You must make symlink ln -s pt_drv scanner.

If you have Linux up and running:

        dd if=3Daic7xxx of=3D/dev/fd0

Unter DOS: use rawrite (see directory DOSUTILS on the first CD)

Hello Wojciech,
Thank you for posting this information about your experiences.
I hope it will be helpful next time I try to get this working!
And thanks for the warning that the quality is not good.
With best wishes,
Ted.

ok, i'm into new territory here with linux. i'm installing a new cdr/scsi=20
adapter into a suse 5.3 system. i don't know enough about linux/scsi to
interpret the boot messages. below is some output from dmesg. it looks like
the second scsi adapter comes up, but i never see any reference to the cdr
device (smart and friendly rocket 8020).=20

is there any way to probe the second scsi adapter?

thanks!

I have an HP scanner (ScanJet IIc) which shows up in my boot log as
follows:

<4>  Vendor: HP        Model: C1750A            Rev: 3125

/etc/sane.d/hp.conf contains:

csi HP
/dev/sg2

(but I also tried sg0, sg1, sg3 and sg4; all /dev/sg* are
 crwxrwxrwx. Under SuSE-Linux-5.3 I used to run my scanner on /dev/sgc,
 but after installation of 6.0 I don't see no /dev/sg[a-z] anymore
)

and /etc/sane.d/dll.conf:

hp

My problem now is that scanimage says that it does not find a SANE
device:

canimage: no SANE devices found

Who can help me out?

Hi,

I didn t found the gmc ( GNOME commander )in the 6.0 distros CDs.=20

BTW GNOME does not work anymore.=20

I reinstalled all the packages from the GNOME series (choosing R in
YAST) but now it says "libglib missing" or something like that=20

I'd like to know if someone succeed with the new GNOME (not the one on
the CDs, because this one work but gmc is not present (the file manager
is not in), or how to reinstall the one fom the CDs ( it was fine after
all!! I want my GNOME back  !!!! ).

Just an other question if I do ldconfig I got this warning:

ldconfig: warning: can't open /usr/i486-linux-libc6/lib/libqimgio.so (No
such file or directory), skipping

Is it something you can just ignore ??? is there a way to fix this ???
aren't we using this libc6 ( aka Glibc in 6.0) or did I mixed
everythings up :( !!

Any clue/help/tip will be greatly appreciated, especially on getting rid
of the warnings and getting GNOME back

regards to all.

I agree with both of you about suse being the easyest yo install, but can't
agree on being the best. While it's certainly true that RH5.2 sucks a lot, I
can't say the same of RH5.1. While I never got RH5.2 to install & run
perfectly on my computer (especilly Internet conection), RH5.1 ran
perfectly. My opinion is there's no such a thing as a better distro, it's
only that for some of us one or another works and fits better with us.

Hello,

What desktop managers would you recommend, and why. I have KDM that came
with my SuSE 5.2, and I have heard about KDE 1.1, but what about some of the
others like Afterstep, Gnome, Enlightenment.

What do they have to offer, what is good or bad about them, and why?

Cheers

aic7xxx
is with the xserver and may other thing related to maybe related to I
have

on X mecanics (xserver, xterm, consols,....ncurses files)

Note : that I noticed that I have problems in configuring the Kernel
using

Menuconfig or Xconfig
           but this is another problem

Could some one help me just understand some thing in this problems ?

Thank you very much,

Thanks -- I tried out your suggestion, but I get the "lpr: unknown
printer" error with this.

Are there any other lines in your /etc/printcap other than the five
lines above?

Hi-

I am running gnome 99.8 off the suse 6 rpms that are located off of
gnome's web site.  I downloaded all the latest, compiled glib and gtk
1.20, and have had pretty good luck with the release located there.  If
you use the suse 6 rpms be sure to read the notes on the page about
imlib errors not loading png files correctly.  I also had to download
all the devel files to get things compiling correctly.

The gnome version which ships with suse is rather old.  Gnome 99.8
seems quite stable here. I did have to self compile glib and gtk.  Note
that if you want gtk it wants glib so might as well do both.  Both are
at www.gtk.org.  GTK is a rather interesting compile here :)

I recommend the combinatin of windowmaker and Gnome 99.8.  It just
looks slick.  Gnome 99.8 is available for SuSE 6 and they say that a
version for 5.3 should be coming. =20
I have run englightenment but its not my personal cup of tea.  I dont
run kde whatsoever.  Had lots of problems even with the 1.1 release on
SuSE 6 here.
Take care.

I took Lenz's suggestion and upgraded to the newest Yast (in the 6.0
directory on the SuSE ftp site, package a1).  It solved the problem.
Probably the reason he didn't see the problem we did is that he's been
using the new version.  (Aside to Lenz: you might want to verify that the
old Yast has the slow search on your system, so as to be sure that an
upgrade always solves the problem.)

My son and three of his classmates got the assignment to put together
a Beowolf cluster as a class project in the next two weeks. He said
they are leaning towards using SuSE. We had hoped our SuSE 6.0
subscription would have arrived by now, but so far we are out=20
of luck.

Is it better to try to postpone the assignment until we get SuSE
6.0 or better to just use 5.3?  A deeper question : is SuSE
better than RedHat for Beowolf?

How about this question: Providing they get it
set up and running, what software is available
to show it working?

thanks in advance.

joe

PS: At least one professor is looking forward to seeing it work
and said that if it works OK they will keep it and use it as
an addition trainig aid. Naturally, this will be good for SuSE.

/var/log/messages should say something about installing
the NW-Card driver ... (at bootup)
Afterwards, ifconfig should bind eth0 to the NW-Card.

1. Does the driver work?
2. Did you configure the NW (with YAST)?
3. Does your new Kernel support Networking?

Glad you asked!  You're not the only one - I got the same thing when I
compiled the 2.2.1 kernel and tried to run it.  I certainly hope someone
responds to this.

Did you know that you also have to replace referenes to your /dev/cua devices
by references to /dev/ttyS devices?  (Doing so doesn't affect this problem,
though.)

I posted some earlier messages about the problem I had running Yast and
attempting to install a .rpm package from an existing directory.  The
message I got was "could not find the installation directory", which
confused me greatly because the directory was right there.  The actual
problem was that the *contents* of the directory weren't what Yast was
expecting, namely, something that resembled an installation CD.   This
error message really ought to be replaced by a more informative one.

mv linux linux-2.0.36
tar zxpvf linux-2.2.0.tar.gz
cd /usr/src/linux
make mrproper
make menuconfig
make dep clean zdisk
make zlilo

Actually, it doesn't matter!  Maybe an inventory of .tgz files isn't even nee=
ded,
since they are only used as the data source for the unpacking process.  Once
they've been unpacked, the only reason to keep them at all is for archiving
purpose.  But they still ought to be in a standard location.

I just ran across a situation where I *almost* needed just this facility.  I
tried to run the xcdroast program, but it wouldn't run because it needed an
updated tcl/tk and tix library.  Fortunately you had those on the web site.  =
But
what if you didn't?  The suggestion in the xcdroast package is to uninstall t=
he
existing tcl/tk and replace them with new ones obtained in .tgz form from an =
ftp
site they specify.  But simply uninstalling them without telling Yast that new
versions are there would probably mess up all kinds of dependencies that Yast
tracks.

I expect the SuSE update facility for 6.0 handles this - but I did it in effe=
ct
manually.  I looked in /sbin/init.d/* (the various startup files) for referen=
ces to
cuaN and changed each one to ttySN.  Then I deleted all the /dev/cuaN files. =
  The
system with these changes still works under the 2.0.34 kernel, actually.

Hardly elegant, I know!

        Paul,=20
                I gathered from earlier postings that you have the 5.3
distribution. Did you have to upgrade your versions of libc, ppp,=20
binutils, etc as described in the CHANGES document that comes with the
kernel? If so, where did you get the upgrades? What particular
directories etc. at the SuSE site if you got any there?

        I recently downloaded a number of upgrades from the 6.0 and 6.0
evaluation directories at the SuSE ftp site and installed them at one
fell swoop in preparation for upgrading to 2.2.1.  I couldn't boot
afterwards so I have since uninstalled them and replaced them with the
versions on my 5.1 CD.=20

        I'd like to try again, upgrading one utility/set of libraries
at a time this time around  so if anything breaks isolating and
replacing the offending upgrade will be easier.=20

        Thanks,

        Jesse

I asked about this last week, but haven't had any response, to wit:

: I've also noticed an error message in my logs that's only occurred

[1] The second thing being that since updating to KDE 1.1 I cannot get

offset so that the rightmost and bottom edges are not visible until I
move or maximise the window.=20

Actually, I've since run xrdb manually and it hasn't made the slightest
difference to Netscape's behaviour. I still get the error message from
kdm in my syslog.

The last time I booted I got the following message:

/dev/hdc1 has reached maximum mount count, check forced.

What the hell does that mean? I never heard of a "maximum mount count"
before. Is there such a thing as a maximum amount of times you can boot
your system? After a short while the boot sequence continued normally.

True on all counts.  The ftape code that comes with the kernel sources is
old and buggy.  I was under the impression that Claus' code was about to go
into the kernel tree RSN, but it hasn't happened yet.

Go to Claus' ftape page and get the latest version.  Read the INSTALL file
carefully and follow the instructions to build ftape as modules.  You MIGHT
run into the modversions problem and have to recompile your kernel, but
probably not.

        http://www.math1.rwth-aache=
n.de/~heine/ftape/>

I managed to stuff the 3.04d ftape code into the 2.0.33 source tree and
build a kernel with ftape compiled in using the diffs on Claus's
development page, but it took some fiddling to make it work.  From around
3.04something on, ftape builds as modules with very little fuss and works
quite well.

You forgot to install the newly compiled kernel.

Install it into a disk to test it:

  make zdisk

If it works, then install it in your disk:

  make zlilo

When the system starts up, one of the first things it does is to check
the status of the filesystems (such as /dev/hdc1) which will be mounted.

If the system was previously closed down cleanly (e.g. by running
"shutdown -h now") then a flag is set in the filesystem indicating
that it is "clean" -- and in fact you will usually see a message to that
effect, followed by the filesystem being mounted straightforwardly.=20

On the other hand, if the "clean" flag is not set, then there is the
possibility that the machine was closd down without updating the
filesystem so it may be in an inconsistent state. Then the filesystem
consistency check and repair program "fsck" is run.

So these are the two normal alternatives: clean shutdown -> mount
without check, non-clean shutdown -> fsck followed by mount.

However, the "clean" flag means no more than a proper shutdown, and does
not guarantee that some filesystem errors may not have crept in over time
anyway. Therefore, there is also a counter in the filesystem which
keeps count of the number of times it has been "cleanly" remounted
without being checked. When this reaches a certain limit "fsck" is run
anyway, just in case. This is when you get that message.

So don't worry about this message -- just be pleased that your system is
looking after you properly. After a "forced check" you will again go
through a number of reboots without checking -- until the next time
the maximal mount count is reached.

Best wishes,
Ted.

I am a bit confused with all the /etc/isapnp.conf, loadable modules,
auto loading kernel, /etc/conf.modules, PnP mother boards, and bios
settings.  I have an ASUS P2B mother board with an AHA2940UW PCI host
adapter, a Matrox Mellenium II PCI video card, a SB64 gold sound card,
and an ATAPI EIDE CD-ROM drive.  I am using oss for my sound driver.  It
works.  I do have a problme with kscd on Kernel 2.2.x, and  I keep
getting an error saying the system can't find char-major-4.

Does anybody know if I should have the:

PnP OS feature of the motherboard enabled or disabled?
IRQ for the SB in used by ISA or normal mode?
The I/O ports and IRQs for the com ports set to the normal com 1 and com
2 settings for wintel?
Other settings on the motherboard in any special configuration?
isapnp.conf set up to describe the settings of my sound card?

TIA,

Steve

This is normal.  It is one of the features of the second extended file
system.  Whenever the number of times the file system was mounted
reaches the preset count, a file system check is forced and the counter
is reset.  You can modify this count by using tune2fs.  For more
information check the manual page of tune2fs.

Hi all,
        Does anyone know what the message:

kdm[366]: can't execute "XBINDIR/xrdb" (err 2)

in the /var/log/messages, means and how to solve
the problem?

Thanks,

I'm pretty sure 'hell' doesn't have anything to do with it!  ;->

Everytime you reboot your computer the kernel mounts all the HD's it
finds in the /etc/fstab file.=20

After about 5 or 6 reboots the kernel does an HD check, which is similar
to scandisk or chkdsk in DOS.

If you never turned your system off you would never see that message.
Since I no longer dual boot to Win95 I leave my computer running 24/7,
and only turn off the monitor and printer when I'm not in my office.  It
never crashes so why shut it down or reboot.

Just curious as to whether anyone has tried to do the final_linkage recompile
of xanim under SuSE 6.0.  I did...the mpgs I want to see with the three extra
codecs don't work anymore.  All I know is that it worked under 5.3

Anyone have any suggestions.

BTW, I also tried specifing gcc 2.7.2 in the final_linkage script...Same
problem results (perhaps a egcs/gcc problem is what I had though, but I guess
not).

So what were the solutions to some of the problems in SuSE 6.0:

Such as No KDE sounds (other sound apps work though).

Other problems I would like to resolve:

1. Xkb under X creates an error.  Seems it didn't compile properly.  I disabl=
ed
it to bypass the error (going back to the 'older' method as it is described).

2. Conflict on lines 10 and 14 of the Xresources file...I would like to find
out why.  Error shows up when starting X.

I don't know if anyone else has seen these latter problems.

Actually, I'm getting close for 5.3 to work. ;)  I upgraded glib and gtk+,

next is Gnome.  Basically, my system is so modified by source files
that a .rpm file won't count.   Matter of fact, most of SuSE's .rpm files
won't work anyway..., (take wvdial for example, which is compiled
with 2.8? of ?..., sorry, but it's been a long night.)  (insert NEW .rpm's

here btw.)

Personally, what I would like SuSE to do is produce a .RPM update
of compiler updates then have a tree for programs related to those
specific upgrades.  As a example, Gnome 1.0 requires 1.20 of glib
and gtk+ 1.20.  KDE is another fine example, or upgrading to the
2.2 kernel.   (ala,  even after reading the upgrade notes for the
2.2 kernel some files / links have been moved or linked into another
package.  Issue's like this will either break or make a distrib.

Personally, I don't mind hunting for all of this, but other's will.

Just my 2 cents.

Actually, I would second this motion...but would prefer packages be in the old
tar.gz or .tgz extensions....some of us have no choice but to download through
Windows (winmodems and such) and then have to load the stuff from the windows
partition ...windows does rude things to .rpm files...IT TRIES TO PLAY

You can always download using SHIFT+left mouse button. This way saving to

Hi,

If u have used the same file without any change it may not work. Things to
be noted :

ps|raw:\  -> 'ps' is the printer name(can be anything), eg: lpr -Pps 

rm=3D100.0.0.10  -> '100.0.0.10' is the node name either the ip of n/w
                        printer or print server
rp=3Draw   -> should be either 'raw' or 'text', that means for printing
            ASCII or text use 'rp=3Dtext' , for Postscript files use
            'rp=3Draw'

I think this details should help you out to get things done. Waiting for
your reply.

Regards,
Senthil vel

Hi,

I purchased Suse 6.0 but found no registration card in the box.=20
Additionally, the registration number was not printed on the inner
portion of the manual.  I'm wondering how to go about installing star
office.  I ran sosetup but the star office install requires a key.=20
Therefore, I went to the star office site and optioned one.  I enter the
user information  and then the key.  However, the "next" button is never
selectable.

Thanks,
Scott Gray

PS:

I did install so_en.  However, I did it manually as follows:

rpm -Uvh --force so_enxxx.rpm

The package would not install without my specifying the "force" option.=20
When I did the Suse install, I selected the install everything option.

regards to all,

Sorry to yell in the subject line, but panic fills me :(

Yesterday night I try to install the version 1.0.0 of GNOME from their
site

to do this I builff glib and gtk version 1.2.0 from gz archives not RPMs

Then I download and installed all the rpms from their site

as I had an annoying warning coming from ldconfig, so I remove the line

/usr/i486-linux-libc6/lib/

from /etc/ld.so.conf !!

Now when I type man csh for example I got a segmentation fault message,
what did I broke ?? How ?? and how can it be fixed.

I have to say that it seems that xman is working properly.

Any help/clue/tip will be greatly appreciated because I read the man a
lot and cannot use xman ( not convenient at all )

regards to all,

GH Portefait

Look at Documents/Changes:
There, you will find the minimal version numbers of the components affected
by the upgrade.

 [SuSE Linux] A couple questions about kppp, Netscape sound and dial-up

Hello SuSE folks !

I got a strange behavior of kppp. When my SuSE 6.0 box just booted up
and shows kdm graphical login, kppp starts dial up Internet connection
even before I got into KDE or Windowmaker. What should I change in the
setting to avoid this unwanted kppp behavior?

I really want to start dial up connectin when I invoke Netscape. For now
I invoke kppp, start dial up connection and only after pops up Netscape.
How I can do it in reverse order ?=20

Does somebody know how to enable sound in Netscape 4.5?

Could somebody poin me on a good e-mail server program which allows to
create a couple e-mail accounts, has a graphical interface and featured
with remotely e-mail boxes monitoring option over Internet? For example
kind of program similar to Mail Gear 1.0 (URL-Labs Inc.)that I'm using
for Winbloze NT server.

Thank you in advance

Alex

Make sure, that you use the correct install path for lilo and the
Makefile. By default, the kernel will be installed as /vmlinuz, while LILO
is looking for /boot/vmlinuz. Either correct /etc/lilo.conf or the
variable INSTALL_PATH in /usr/src/linux/Makefile

This seems to be a common problem with 2.2.2. I still run 2.2.1, though...

It sure is. I just contacted Dirk Hohndel from the XFree-Team yesterday.
They are working on it, but there's no estimate of a release date yet.
Stay tuned.

These messages seem to come from the network configuration script.
Hmm, ist it really "Eth0"? It should be "eth0", this is case sensitive.
Better check /etc/rc.config and /etc/route.conf for correct spelling.

Have you been able to start X using the "startx" command? Maybe this

I think that you can start with 5.3 since it becomes with the parallel (PVM)
libraries from the Extreme Linux project. This is basically what you need to
run a demonstration program.
However it seems that the Beowulf community is using more and more Linux 2.2 =
so
later, if you want to use specific Beowulf software, you would probably need
SuSE 6.0 sooner or later.

www.beowulf.org states that all their software is available for RedHat 5.2.

That's the question that should be answered _before_ they start to build the
cluster :)

It would be a good idea of they read the excellent HOW-TO for Beowulf written
by Jacek Radajewski and Douglas Eadline in

http://www.sci.usq.ed=
u.au/staff/jacek/beowulf/HOWTO/>

They would learn that a Beowulf cluster should be designed to resolve a
specific problem. There is no such thing as a general purpose parallel
computer. So look for an application first; that can be tested with PVM using
two ordinary Linux boxes, without constructing any Beowulf machine at all...

Let us know about the whereabouts of SuSE 6.0 and Beowulf.

Bye,

Petri

you can save a lot of time by creating the config you like with 'make
menuconfig' then 'make dep clean bzImage modules modules_install' it runs
the whole lot instead of issueing the 6 separate commands listed below!

Make sure, that you use the correct install path for lilo and the
Makefile. By default, the kernel will be installed as /vmlinuz, while LILO
is looking for /boot/vmlinuz. Either correct /etc/lilo.conf or the
variable INSTALL_PATH in /usr/src/linux/Makefile

This seems to be a common problem with 2.2.2. I still run 2.2.1, though...

I used to think this until I discovered a few uses for letting them hang arou=
nd.1. It leaves a record of everything I had to change to get the package to =

2. Some Makefiles provide an uninstall facility: "make uninstall" removes the=

3. Cheesy but easy place to keep the miscellaneous documentation.

Now that disk space is really cheap, my /usr/local/src is getting big!

Hi, I'm completly new to Linux, though I've been working with Irix and
HP-UX for some years. I've run into a problem with regards to getting
the Soundblaster Live! to work (both under Linux and Windows98; I can't
get Windows NT to install;). I've followed the instructions in the SuSE
manual, ie. running pnpdetect (or somesuch, I'm at work, don't have the
manual).

Anyways the utility which the manual says I should run doesn't detect my
soundcard or anything. It complains about some PCI module not
found/installed so that it can't check for PCI conflicts. The SB Live!
is a PCI card so I thought the problem lies therein. The SuSE manual
doesn't say anything, and I don't find any good info about what I should
have installed.

My networkcard, also PCI, was detected by YaST, so I find it strange
that the SB Live! card can't be found.

Should I just go into windows, take a note of everything I can about
it's setup and use that in some conf file (isapnp.conf or something,
again I don't recal the exact name)?

Your X server refuse your access or cannot talk with you
This could be caused by several problems:

- do your network settings are corrects? I mean can you telnet your machine?
- Check your DISPLAY variable
        try:
        $ echo $DISPLAY
        :0.0
        $ export DISPLAY=3D"target.screen.machine:0.0"

- on the X server your host must be authaurised:
        try=20
        $ xhost=20
        to see all accepted hosts
        $ xhost yourhostname
        would fix.

Hope this helps

Have a look at "cat /proc/cpuinfo". If the kernel detected both CPUs, you
will see it here. If not, you need to recompile your kernel after
activating the variable "SMP=3D1" in /usr/src/linux/Makefile

I can telnet withmy machine.
It's pitty but don't , after Xhost:
 Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
 Xlib: Client is not authorised to connect to Server
 xhost: unable to open display ":0.0"
If I change DISPLAY to sp5rdu the same with "sp5rdu:0.0"

May I add to you thoughts, Lenz. It would probably be better to:

"make dep && make clean && make bzlilo && make modules && make modules_instal=
l"

especially for those who might be new to, or nervous about, compiling their
kernel. What it says is: make dep, and if no errors, make clean ....and so on.

 I am trying to use the GD library to show dynamicly created GIF files

thru CGI scripts.



After installing the packages GD and Chart from

h=
ttp://www.linux-magazin.de/ausgabe.1997.12/Chart/chart.html>
and using the example script space.pl i get the following errors in my httpd =
log  file:



 Can't load '/usr/lib/perl5/i586-linux/5.00404/a=
uto/IO/IO.so' for module IO:  Unable to resolve symbol at /usr/lib/perl5/i586=
-linux/5.00404/DynaLoader.pm  line 166.



Seems the DynamicLoader is'nt able to load a dynami=
c object file. After 

some research I came to the conclusion that maybe Perl 5.004.04 wasn't  compi=
led with the correct options. (see  http://theory.uwinnipeg.ca/CPAN/data/mod_=
perl/mod_perl_traps.html , section  Perl modules )



I downloaded Perl 5.005.02, removed 5.004.04 from my system, installed the  n=
ew Perl version, and ofcourse the Apache webserver didn't want to start  anym=
ore. /usr/libexec/apache/libperl.so was still refering to the old Perl versio=
n.



Yuck, that means I have to download the Apache source and compile it. Lot of =
 work for such a stupid problem, and I am not even sure it will fix the probl=
em.





So, does anyone know how to fix the 'can't load module' problem  without=
 recompiling god knows what on my Suse 5.3 system?

Well, I cant give you all the details on the solution, just a direction. I am=
 struggling=20
with a simulair problem.

You have to compile Apache with support for dynamic libraries. This is=20
explained
in the INSTALL document. You can either call configure with all the
correct options or edit ./src/Configuration to change the static modules
in to shared modules. To add the mod_perl read the INSTALL doc.

Hi Lenz,

 uname -a
Linux wdm 2.2.2 #1 SMP Tue Feb 23 18:57:27 AKST 1999 i586 unknown

Been up with Linux-2.2.2 since it came out. Worked great for me.
No problems at all.

After installing SuSE 6.0, am I expected to do much configuration of
Apache and modules? I was under the impression that the install would
set it up for standalone version.

I'm going to do some php, mysql and apache development, so if anyone has
it up and running under SuSE 6.0 in standalone mode (localhost only, no
network) I would be grateful for example configurations.

Well to keep it short (keeping me busy) try:

"make dep clean bzlilo modules modules_install"=20

instead. :)

Well, since we're getting adventurous, how about 'make -j 5 zImage zlilo
modules modules_install'

The -j is the number of threads or instances of the 'make' program to start
while compiling.  As a rule I would do 1 per 10M memory on the machine, but
never more than 15.  This can significantly reduce the time it takes to
compile a clean kernel.

*.java files are source files. *.class files are compiled binaries.

If you have jdk installed, try

javac BurnIT.java

and you should have your class file :)

(if you do not have the jdk installed, it is provided by suse in RPM
format)

Hi,
   I'm trying to install SuSE 6.0 on a new SCSI HDD but the installation=20
can't get past the "select installation media" stage.

The hardware : MSI 6120 Dual PII mainboard with adaptec AIC 7895 UW SCSI=20
adapter. One IBM U2W DDRS 34560 HDD and a Pioneer DR-U16S SCSI CDROM.

I booted from the CDROM and it went into LINUXRC successfully. I went to=20
'Start Installation' and select 'Installation from CDROM'. After trying=20
to mount the CDROM, it gave an error msg of 'An error occured during=20
installation'. I went to Alt F4 and saw the following error msgs :

Startup
Unable to identify CDROM format
VFS: brelse : Trying to free free buffer
sr_photocd : (SONY/PIONEER) Hmm,seems like the CDROM doesn't support=20
multisession CD's.

Can anyone help me on this?

thanks!

I'm having the same problems, too:

1) The "next" button can't be selected.

2) rpm -Uvh --force so_enxxx.rpm didn't have any effect.

3) No registration card in the SuSE box for me, either.

Any suggestions?

Hello=20

I have obtained @home.net cable modem service, and now I'm trying to set up
my SuSE 5.2 Linux box kernel 2.0.33.

I have obtained the following HowTo articles:
Net3-HowTo
Cablemodem-miniHowTo
DCHP-miniHowTo
Ethernet-HowTo
I have read the above HowTo, and have the basic idea of how to setup my
linux box. But I could use some pointers?

1. To start have @home.net set up and running on Windows 98, and obtained
the IP Configuration information with the following command "winipcfg"

2. Next I have decided on 3COM Ethernet card 3C509B-TPO ISA. This card is
well supported by Linux and has plenty of Data transfer speed for my needs
and this is the card used in my Windows 98 machine.

3. I know I have to recompile my kernel to included Network support and
support for my Ethernet card, but I do not exactly know which Network
options to included ( I do not think I need all options ) in my kernel?

4. Now I have added my setting to the different configuration files, can
any one give me and idea of which files have to be set up?
My understanding is: I'm setting up a work station on the @home.net network
and do not need to setup a network server on my Linux box correct?

Thanks in for any help

        Not to belabor this virus hoax thing (which is to say, I don't
care if I'm belaboring this virus hoax thing, listen to me, dammit!), but
it seems you two are missing the point, at least in terms of this
particular warning. =20
        It says absolutely nothing about binary attachments; it claims
that one can get do damage to a computer simply by viewing an ASCII text
file!  This is clearly absurd.  It's like saying you're in danger of
having your eye poked out if you look at a photograph of a cue stick. =20
        Our friend the "VIRUS WARNING" could be called a virus itself, but
even it is only capable of causing minor irritation and congestion in
one's emailbox.

jason
P.S. - Actually I can think of a time that it *was* possible to do damage
to data just by displaying a text file.  This was back in the dark days
of DOS 3.3 (or so): if you had "ansi.sys" loaded, you could become a
victim of a maliciously coded ansi file that would remap your keyboard to
send a data-deleting command to the DOS prompt, while changing your screen
colors to something like white on white to obscure what it was doing...
while all the while you thought you were going to see a pretty Atari
2600-stye picture.  But, of course, I was somewhat of a neophyte back
then, so perhaps that too was just a hoax, a BBS legend, as it were. ;)

Thanks

I was able to start the xserver with startx command
I think because I recommented out the following line in /etc/inittab file

7:2:respawn:+/sbin/init.d/rx tty 7

I did :

#7:2:respawn:+/sbin/init.d/rx tty 7

Thanks -- I'll try tweaking with this suggestion.

I've put in a request for help on this to SuSE support, since it began
w/ 6.0 and 2.2.1.

I haven't heard back from them -- I suppose they're busy.

Dear Joe,

please have a look at:

http://florida.linuxusers.org/beowulf.htm=
l>

The info on that web page is a bit outdated because we have since made
a bit of progress by putting together a couple of pentiums and the
cluster is up and running. It runs under RedHat 5.1 mainly because that
was the distribution the people who set it up had experience with. I am
quite confident that you could do the same with SuSE 5.3 or 6.0.=20

Best regards, Alex.

Regards to all,

Sorry to yell in the subject line, but panic fills me :(

Wednsday night I try to install the version 1.0.0 of GNOME from their=20
site

to do this I built glib and gtk version 1.2.0 from gz archives not RPMs

Then I download and installed all the rpms from their site

As I had an annoying warning coming from ldconfig, so I remove the line
/usr/i486-linux-libc6/lib/ from /etc/ld.so.conf !!

Now when I type man csh for example I got a segmentation fault message,
what did I broke ?? How ?? and how can it be fixed.

I have to say that it seems that xman is working properly.

Any help/clue/tip will be greatly appreciated because I read the man a
lot and cannot use xman=20

Please send anything you got :) I m really stuck without the man pages

Best regards=20

Great. I'll send them some e-mail -- I hope it's not necessary to fax a
receipt, because this info should be on their system somewhere.

Re: Star Office, all I'm looking for is the spreadsheet (supposedly)
included with the suite. Abs, a Xaw-based spreadsheet, mangled my
calculations. Gnumeric complains about my gtk-config script when I run
./configure (seems to have happened to a few other people too). I'm
about to try Ksiag (Qt-based I believe); I hope it compiles and runs.

With tax-time in the US around the corner, I'm getting anxious. Does
anybody have a recommendation for a spreadsheet that compiles and runs
-- bug-free -- under SuSE 6.0 & 2.2.x?

I knew about the upgrades mentioned in CHANGES, but I decided to try the kern=
el
anyway without them - and your experience suggests I did the right thing.  I =
too
wondered where to find them, but never put much effort into getting the answe=
r.
Right now I'm set up with the 2.2.1 kernel listed in Lilo but not as the defa=
ult.
My system runs fine with the older kernel, but I'm sure I'd gain benefits from
moving to the new one.  What concerns me about the libc upgrade et al is that=
 it
might not work with the older kernel, so one I do it I'm committed (and possi=
bly
stuck).

I'll probably wait until SuSE 6.1 comes out and then upgrade.  That way at le=
ast I
know I can fix everything at once.

I just visited the 3Com's site (they're the ones selling US Robotics
modems). The US Robotics Courier V Everything seems like the ideal
internal modem for a non-windows operating system. It's even mentioned
in the specs. Does anyone have this particular model and if so, how does
it perform in the real world? Oh yes, how much does it cost?

You can't use Netscape with the keyboard alone. That 'trick' is
documented, see the HELP-button of your Netscape browser.

Here's another one:
  shortcut for cut&paste of URLs into the location bar -
  simply paste into the browser window, anywhere, and the URL (if there's
  a valid URL in th clipboard) will be loaded

Hi ,

Apache worked for me out of the boxe with SuSE distribution. I am using it
with the local sdb doc.
I had just to adjust few things in the /etc/httpd.conf file :
In my case my hostname machine and IP and PORT are respectivelly aloha,
127.0.0.2 and 80. So
I added the informations in /etc/httpd.conf file :

Port 80
ServerName aloha
ServerAdmin root(a)aloha
BindAddress *
Listen 127.0.0.2:80

This my work for starting the httpd engine.

I am still learning how to configure Apache. The work done by SuSE folks in
setting Up a doc
server is god start for me.

I hope this would help

Regards,

Naceur

I believe there's something built into the kernel that causes each mounted
disk filesystem to be checked after every N mounts, as a safety measure.
There's probably some way to adjust N or disable the check altogether, but
I've never found out what it is.

I recently installed SUSE 5.3 Linux on a PC.
There are two NICs. One is connected to two
other PCS, and the internal network works
fine. The other NIC is connected to Bell's
high-speed 1 Mbit modem. The service provides
dynamic IP addresses only. I installed "dhclient",
which is run as 'dhclient eth1". This also messes
up my internal network, which is on eth0. Is
there something in the config files that need
to be changed?

Thank you for your help.

The only thing I can tell is that I have some problems with my SCSI Pionner
CD   and SuSE 6 using aic7xxx. I have a mainboard ASUS PB2DS / AIC7890
onboard controller.
Right now I have one processor only.
The CDROM is detected but does not fuction well particularly when I am
using Yast to install or desinstall packages !

Thanks for asking this question I am sure that very quickly you will get
some usefull help from the list folks !

Hello

I run SuSE 5.3. I just installed HylaFax and SuSE Fax, and I noticed that I
could no longer dial-up using wvdial and the like---it tells me that I don't
have permission all of a sudden. (I can dial as root!)  For some reason thoug=
h,
I can still use Kppp to dial-up (as non-root).  My /dev/modem is linked to
/dev/ttyS1 which has the following permissions:

crw-------   1 uucp     uucp       4,  65 Mar  4 13:32 ./ttyS1

If I change these, they are almost immediately changed back (thank god for
SuSE's quite thoughtful idiot proofing).  Also, was this always
uucp.uucp?  Anyway, I am not sure what changed
with the installation of HylaFax and SuSE Fax, but if it is connected, I also
noticed that when I hit "get status" in SuSEFax, it tells me it is waiting for
the modem to become ready.  And, I am gettin mails that say that HylaFax thin=
ks
my modem is "wedged".  What's that?!=20

TIA,

chris

o at least the system sees the second adapter. there is an entry in
/proc/scsi for the ncr53c8xx. is there a way to probe the second scsi bus
to look for devices? thanks!

I believe that there will be rpm files for suse 6 available as soon as
tomorrow according to the gnome mailing list.  I can post the url for
the downloads if people are interested.

Some email between another list member and myself prompts me to ask
these questions...

What will happen with gnome 1.00 rpms are released IF we have compiled
gtk, glib, etc through sources and not rpms.  ImO, the current state of
gtk releases in rpm format is mired in unresolved dependencies,
different revision levels for different things, etc. =20

I want to upgrade to gnome 1.00 as soon as suse builds the rpms.  Can
someone speculate on how to handle these rpm's when I have already
compiled gtk, glib 1.20?  These are not in the rpm database whatsoever.
 What will happen when rpms start looking at dependency issues?

I am more than a little concerned because I have spent a deal of time
getting two systems to be more or less gnome aware using both rpms and
sources.

I eagerly await any information from suse regarding the current
planning with gnome 1.00 and how I can keep my current gtk, glib, etc
without getting trapped in the spiralling lib nightmare.

Thanks

Ok I am attempting to install suse 6.0 over the network.

When i boot up with the floppy boot disk and get to the point where it asks
to start the installation, i choose install via ftp. Well it says i will
need to load my networking card module.
I have a ne2000 compadable networking card, so wehen i  goto 'load network
card module, I can select:
ne: NE 2000 / NE 1000 (ISA_
or
ne2k-pci: NE 2000 (PCI)

After selecting the appropriate driver (ISA) I get prompted for the
'parameters for "ne" Example io=3D0x300.

I have tried that  # with a few others but non work.
How can i find this out!
The computer type is a ppro200mHz 64mgs 1.2 gig  HD, basic CDRom, along with
a basic NE2000 compadable network card.

Assistance would greatly be appreciated!

I'm trying to run a program ( BurnIT for writing CD's) that is written
in Java.  However, when I run it I get the message "Can't find class
BurnIT" even though BurnIT.java is in the directory.  I've done a lot of
experiments now and determined that the problem is much more general: I
created a sample Java program in /tmp and had exactly the same
difficulty.

There's a note in SuSE Help about CLASSPATH being related to this
problem, but I unset CLASSPATH (which had a null value anyway) and it
made no difference.   I've also explored the directory
/usr/lib/java/bin/i686/green_threads,
which has a great number of java variants, but I can't find anything
revealing there, and the critical executables,
java.SuSE-static and java.SuSE-dynamic, are in binary form.

I'm running SuSE 5.3, and from the names of the files this does seem to
be a SuSE problem.  Can anyone tell me what I need to do to get my Java
programs to run?  They do seem to run under Netscape - but the note in
SuSE Help indicates that usually they do even when other classes can't
be located.

There are two giveaways in this virus warning that it isn't genuine:

1. The reference to information "announced from IBM" with nothing specific
about where in IBM it came from.

2. The fact that the virus is supposed to erase a hard drive without knowing
what kind of operating system or hardware it's running on.   I have yet to
hear of a virus that affects both Windows and Linux, for example, let alone
both the PC and the Mac.

You do not start AIM by typing in AIM.
You  have to enter
wish8.0 /where/ever/AIM/is/tik.tcl
you can make a executable file called 'aim'
to do this for you so you can just type aim
to start AIM.
good luck

Hi Christopher,

You basically don't need to recompile your kernel. You also can setup your et=
h0
device via Yast. I myself have recompiled the kernel. You don't need much
network support. You can skip firewall and masquerading support. Skip NFS and
SMB and token ring support. You have to get TCP/IP support and you also have =
to
choose your network device.

As DHCP client you can get either: dhclient from http://www.isc.org/> the ftp
site is:  ftp://ftp.isc.org/isc/dhcp/> or you can get dhcpc the =
ftp site is:
ftp://sunsite=
.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/network/daemons/> . You can start them up
via dhclient eth0 or dhcpc eth0 . By te way you only need one of the dhclient=
s.

The dhclient is also delivered at the Suse FTP site. ftp.suse.com .

By the way installing an dhclient from Suse 6.0 is very easy.

I hope this is any help.

If you need more help please ask. I'm currently also running masquerading at =
my
cable modem network.

Regards,

Joop.

Please could Yast be "fixed" so that it handles "server full" errors
better?

Selecting install packages by FTP, works fine when the server allows
you to connect. However as soon as a server rejects connection because
it is busy, Yast seems to completely lose it place. Yast seems to be
making a separate connection every time the directory tree is
navigated, but when a connection fails it seems to forget where it is
in the tree, and pressing  on the directory to which I wish to
enter results in an "unknown directory" error when the server does
allow the connection - Thus forcing me to start again. It would be
nice if it could "remember" the correct place within the tree and
connect to the correct directory when retrying a refused connection.

Dont word macro virii affect all brands of word that they come into
contact with?  We used to support large numbers of PC and MAC users and
the word concept and macro virii seemed to move at will because people
were not careful and did not upgrade virus protection.  Nothing
against, macintosh users but it seemed that our biggest areas of
infection were the areas that had the most mac users. =20

Perhaps I am wrong, but I always thought that the macro and concept
virii could infect either mac or msdos systems.

I was perhaps being too subtle (and maybe not even correct ).  Microsoft W=
ord
doesn't run under Linux, in general, so Word virii shouldn't affect Linux.  B=
ut
there is one wrinkle: some versions of Word *might* run using a Windows emula=
tion
package such as Wine or Wabi.  Whether the virii would survive in such a
transplanted environment I have no idea.

I have to raise a question, or two.

I often receive similar messages, but I must assume that a virus is a
program of some sort and must be able to run in order to be able to
carry out its intended function. So my understanding is that a virus
must be attached to email and must first be dettached and caused to run
before any damage may occur.

In the case of macro virus' an inffected spread sheet, for example, must
first be opened by the application.

Is there some sort of virus or worm (I used to believe there was some
sort of difference) that may merely "hitch hike" on email and not be
required to be dettached and run?

Also, it seems to me that if that were the case, a very clever way to
spread a virus would be to attch one to an email of just the nature of a
warning, with the explicit instructions to send it to everyone in one's
address book.

BTW, I am not giving anyone a hard time, but raising some valid
questions.

Regards,

Bob Russell

This unfortunately is just a test...I sent two messages yesterday to the
mailing list and they did not come through the list back to me.  So I am

Does anyone know what the lag time is from a mail send to a mail being receiv=

Even better might be to check out
http://metalab.unc.edu/LDP/=
HOWTO/Modem-HOWTO.html>.

Not only will it set you on course for dealing with plug and pray but it
also contains a link to a page that lists modems and links you to some
handy information on particular varieties of modems.

Yeah,  I took the source code ,codecs, and makefile I had used

I compiled it with EGCS and it works fine.

Assume that the hoaxster=20
        gives it to 10 sincere people who want to help protect their 10 best
friends,=20
                each of whom give it to 10,=20
                        each of whom give it to 10,
                                each of whom give it to 10,
                                        each of whom give it to 10
                                                each of whom give it to 10

Now you've got a million people passing worthless info around the net,
slowing it down, wasting bandwidth.  Multiply by the number of hoaxes
and now you see the damage.  Add to this mess the messages like mine and
yours explaining (for the umpteenth time) what a hoax is and how it
really works and......  It amounts to nothing more than turning people
into unwitting spammers.

Lenz,
     I booted up from the CDROM and it seems like SuSE automatically=20
loaded the aic7xxx driver. When I got to the linuxrc screen, I tried to=20
load SCSI module but there's a warning saying SCSI module already loaded=20

  I'm using AfterStep and KDE, but I'm thinking of implementing the new
version 1.0 of Gnome instead to see whets up. Windowmaker is a good one
to try as well if your not interested in trying AfterStep. But
personally, I would recommend you try using KDE and Gnome and make your
own decisions.

  Not to my knowledge there isn't, but that could change, there is talk
that Intuit will be porting Quicken to Linux in the near future, if that
happens, and they see a significant amount of usage or what not, they
may port their popular Turbo Tax program as well in  following months. I
know I'm gonna be looking forward to it.

  Its called 'tune2fs', someone else mentioned it in a previous message
of this thread. There's a VERY slim chance that you don't have it in
your man pages. About the only thing it doesn't do, or maybe I've just
never been able to figure it out, is report what the current settings
are. Anyone know that??

  You may also wanna try decompressing the gz file before running patch,
else try running    zcat .gz | patch -p   from either outside the
directory of the source your patching, or inside the directory of the
source your patching (depending on how the patch was made)

        I think so, you certainly didn't break anything. I may try to
compile the 2.2.1 kernel and see how it functions with my existing libs
and utils etc.=20

Hello all,

My char-major-4 problem, I found, could be fixed in two ways:

1)  Compile serial as a module

2)  alias char-major-4 off in conf.modules.

My ttyp5 problem went away mysteriously.  I _SUSPECT_ it has to do with
xconsole, and lsof wouldn't work for me because I'm running kernel
2.2.1.  Thanks to all who helped.

I wouldn't do that, the G200 is excellent. I run a commercial display manager
called Accelerated-X from Xi Grpghics, Inc. and it works excellent!

Subject: [SuSE Linux] "2 filesystems single /" error on trying to
 reinstall SuSE

Friend's new machine came with:

AMD k6-2 3??MHz cpu
Gigabyte motherboard (GA-5X ??)
8.4 gb hdd (eide)
Matrox G200 AGP
128MB RAM
...

Machine came with Win 98 installed a 4.2gb partition, leaving
other half available for Linux.

I installed SuSE 5.3 on the last half,=20
hda2    / 4+ gb
hda3    swapfile - 127MB

Set to boot from floppy.  It worked fine except I didn't have the
appropriate X-server, so I was waiting before setting up the X
Window system and KDE.

Turned out lots of lockups with the Matrox G200 AGP card and the
ALI chipset on this Gigabyte motherboard.  Vendor was good about
swapping the video card out for a...

        Diamond Multimedia Speedstar 8MB AGP card  (DVD capability 	=09
under  Win 9x)

I decided to "overinstall" 6.0 over 5.3, since it has the newest
X-servers, one of which (SVGA??) would hopefully handle the
Diamond video card, and I wanted to add any new KDE stuff (a
clean install seemed "safer" than an update). =20

I deleted the two linux partitions, and then created them in
reverse order, (seemed the only way to convince SuSE's fdisk,
that I wanted a new, clean install), I then went to set up the
mount points and behold, I got an error message after assigning
the large partition to  /  .  I don't have the error msg in front
of me, but it was something on the order of...

"You can't have a single root directory, if you have 2 different
filesystems." =20

The win98 fs is vfat, btw.  This error comes up whether I try to
mount the win98 partition (hda1) as /mnt/win98, or leave it
totally unmounted.  When asked to choose a filetype (DOS, vfat,
or UMSDOS) I chose vfat, because that's what it is.

I'm doing something wrong, but I don't know what.  I've searched
the SuSE database (and read the <1024 cyl info) and searched the
installation troubleshooting portion of the SuSE 6.0 text, but I
missed any useful info on this topic if it was there.

The toughest thing for me to understand is why I was able to
install SuSE 5.3 and boot from a floppy, and now I'm not able
to.  I don't think I touched the MBR before, and Win98 is running
fine.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Also, anyone able to comment on the Diamond (multimedia)
Speedstart 8MB agp card and server support under X.

Thanks.

Gerry

From: g3 

Did my earlier post  get through?  - sqlinit: DBROOT must be set !!!=20
aarrgghhh - Wed, 03 Mar 1999

anyway the prob was -- Trying to run Apache 1.3.4 from SuSE 6.0 (for a
small intranet),when clients access the apache server they get a
 message, whether via a WWW browser,
telneting to port 80 etc.

I never sorted this out, but  sidestepped it by  building apache from the=20
apache source  on the SuSE 6.0 CD. =20
This got rid of the  problem,  as apache=20
was now built without module support for ADABAS D -
why did SuSE make YaST do that !!
However now i dont get apache to run as a standalone server, but only as a=20
inetd daemon. This actually is ok, but i would really
like to get apache running standalone simply because it should :-)
When set up as standalone, connecting clients get a  alert. Telneting on port 80 - connection is refused.
the apache error_log  tells me:
httpd: [Fri Mar 5 09:07:47 1999] [crit] (98)Adress already in use:=20
make_sock: could not bind to port 80

does anyone know what the problem is ?

thanks a lot.

  Hello, I am new to the mailing list, so my apologies if this issue has been
covered in the past.
  Less than a week ago I switched from RedHat 5.1 installation to SuSe 5.3
[kernel 2.0.35].
  I have fixed the problem which I am about to describe, but I would like to
let other newbies know how to fix it if they experience the same thing.  I
would also like to know if I can expect any other problems along the same
lines.  =20
  I installed all the relevant C development stuff neccesary to compile
programs.   When I tried to compile a few basic programs, I kept getting erro=
rs
about  'No such file or directory...'  for  'linux/*.h' files which were being
refered to by other files.  The files were there--well, they were on my hard
disk that is, I knew  because I could find them.     My newbieness kept me
puzzling over this for longer than I'd like to admit, but I did eventually
figure out that the problem was two broken symbolic links:   /usr/include/asm=
=20
-was linked to-> ../src/linux/include/asm     which should've been linked to->
.../src/linux-2.0.35/include/asm & number two
  /usr/include/linux  -was linked to-> ../src/linux/include/linux
     which should've been linked to->   ../src/linux-2.0.35/include/linux

  I just checked, & it seems that the scsi link also is broken in the same
way...  =20

Problem solved! A friend came by and found out that I had compiled a
networking thing (the card?) as a module, which apparently could not
be loaded at boot time, while it should.

Thanks for all help!

You have to run "/usr/sbin/suserundig" to create the necessary database.
This may take some time.

I tried to decompress the file first but I got a message that kind of goes
like this:

Hmmm... this doesn't seem like a zipped file

I should have written it down, I know but anyway. So I went ahead and just
tried to run the patch. Since I'm in /usr/src and the patch itself is in the
same directory, I figured needed to add -p0. I thought -p1 is when you're in
a different directory.

Hello,

I few days ago I installed SuSE 5.3 in a 260 Mb partition (with another 32Mb
swap partition). But soon, before I could start to play around, I ran out of
disk space in that partition. Then, I decided to steal a few more Megs from
the Win95 disk, so now I have another 250 Mb partition for Linux, in a
different disk. But, how could I make this new partition really increase the
little free space I have in the partition where I first installed
everything? Could I move the contents of, let's say, /usr of the old
partition into my new one and then mount it over /usr? Could YaST help in
this? Any suggestions?

Thank you very much.

Hi

I need to buy a new modem for my SuSE 6.0 system, but I need to make=20
sure that I don't buy a winmodem.  So, my question:

Internal modems come in winmodem and non-winmodem flavours, right? =20
But what about external models:  does one get external winmodems?  So=20
can I be sure that if I buy an external modem that it will work with=20
Linux?

Thanking you in advance,

Both these assumptions are quite right, unless there is some
specific security flaw in the receiving a mailer-daemon or mail user
agent. For instance some mail programs allow for spawning a shell
and execute commands if the message contains a specific character
sequence. I believe Outlook Express and Netscape Mail for Win95
have a security flaw like this. (It might have been fixed, but I
don't know)

Not with current e-mail technology, but this may be coming soon.
Think of a HTML-email with java(script) that runs some malicious
code. It is up to the programmers of e-mail clients to prevent
this from being possible. It will however still have to be run
to do damage, but the mail client might do this automagically.

How right you are. They could even be attached as executables,
claiming to remove the (non-existant) virus the mail
is warning of. Try to imagine a Happy99-like virus/trojan
sending automatic virus warnings to everybody. Scary!

These hoaxes are in fact computer viruses,
which just use biological agents for spreading. They are
completely independent of operating systems, and unfortunately
they have very small requirements.

Yes, these questions are certainly valid. I just hope that my

a few hoaxes.

Dear all,

When i do a smbmount i get the following failure.  With kernel 2.0.36 it
works perfectly. With kernel 2.2.2 it fails to mount. Via smbclient it
works perfectly also under kernel 2.2.2. Has something changed in the
smbmount commands? I cant find anything about it in the man file.

Thank you very much.

Joop Boonen.

Try replacing each / in the smbmount command with two \
for example:

pc4:/nbsserver # smbmount \\\\nbsserver\\users\\  \\nbsserver\\users
-I

This should work

Hello,

I have a new Hitachi PII 266 notebook pro.  It has a 10/100 ethernet controll=
er
in it.  I have not been able to determine it's controller chip.  Every driver=
 I
try and use dosn't work.

Has anyone had success configuring this notebook with Linux??

As an aside, I have an older Hitachi notebook pro 133,, with build in ethernet
that uses lance32 driver.

Thanks

Couldn't we get this mailing-list to be a 'attachment-free' zone? the

MS Office for Win-3.1 runs fine under WABI. (At any rate as fine as under
Windows).

I assume that whatever a Word macro woud do if Word were running under
Windows, it would also do if Word were running under WABI.

In fact, When "Word is running under WABI" Word is really running under
Windows which is running under WABI.

I've received a lot of Word files (which is why I run WABI anyway) but so
far have had the luck to avoid macro virus troubles, so I can't report
objective evidence about my assumption above.

(Maybe I shouldn't have said that).

Cheers,
Ted.

 Hello,



I try to use a package called GD with Apache 1.3. This package is a PERL

module with a dunamic object. Whenever I run a PERL script

thru Apache as a CGI script I get the message:



Can't locate object method "new" via package "GD::Image"



The new method is in GD.so. Seems when using mod_perl it 

doesn't load the shared object GD.so.



My question is. How can I use third pary shared objects residing

in the PERL library tree when a perl script is executed thru

the Apache webserver.



I am using:

Apache/1.3.0 (Unix) S.u.S.E./5.3 mod_perl/1.12

i do this:

mount new filesystem on /mnt/tmp

cd /usr && find . -print0 | cpio -p0vumd /mnt/tmp

then,  reboot from a floppy and do
cd /
mv usr usr.old
mkdir /usr
chown root.root /usr
chmod 755 usr

try a test mount of the new partition, and if it
works, edit your /etc/fstab to reflect the new mount point.
Yours,

What is proper?

I will explain the German way of pronounciation:

Su ... like suit (but keep the u short)
SE ... like set

V,

The fix to get apache to run the way SuSE has it compiled is here:

file:/usr/doc/packages/apache/README.SuSE

chmod +s /usr/sbin/suexec ;
rcapache restart

The reason they did it this way is so they can access thier help database.  I
kinda like it that way because I want to learn how they did it so I can
expand upon it.  I do understand that it may not be what you were expecting.
As far as fixing other problems with apache, my 18 hours of playing with it
probably won't help.

I have the some problem but this solution didn't work.

By the way I had to do: smbmount ////server//share//  //localhost//mountpoint
because using \\\\ gives an error.

I hav'nt heard of a external winmodem.
So any external should work with linux.
Since the cpu does most of the processing work in a winmodem,
I doubt that it could be done fast enough thru a serial port cable.

I made some progress with my printer problem:

-Called yast, configured a new printcap (after using the settings below
didn't work)=20
-Enabled permissions for ../lpd/"printer"-ascii-mono" directory

Now, I'm getting this error:

lpr: connect: Connection refused
jobs queued, but cannot start daemon

I wonder what's wrong.=20
My lpd seems to load okay on boots.

I also noted that when I do the following:

~#killall lpd

~>lpd        (calling lpd from user)

I get this message:

lpd failed to open configuration file '/etc/plp.conf': No such file or
dir

(It's true that this file doesn't exist on my system)

I wonder if this nonexistent plp.conf file could be the problem . . .

Hi all,
        I have been trying to update my kernel to 2.2 but every version
I try breaks my "shutdown -h". It halts the system but doesn't turn it off
though I have compiled the kernel with this option.
I have a Toshiba 4000 CDS. Any sugestions???

Best,

FCC speaks about recent action.

Thank your for your email concerning reports that the FCC will take action
requiring Internet service providers (ISPs) to    impose per-minute usage
charges on consumers. Please let me assure you that  these reports are
erroneous.

The matter before the FCC concerns carrier-to-carrier payments, so-called
"reciprocal compensation."  Reciprocal compensation has nothing to do with
consumer Internet charges.  It's about what telephone companies pay one
another.

In fact, the FCC has exempted ISPs from paying per-minute charges to local
phone companies and will continue to do so.  The threat of imposing
per-minute
charges on the Internet is one of the great enduring urban myths.

In short, the FCC has no intention of  imposing per-minute charges  on the
Internet.

I am attaching a copy of Chairman Kennard's  statement on the matter.

ANSWERS FROM FCC CHAIRMAN WILLIAM E. KENNARD
TO QUESTIONS CONCERNING
THE ACTION TAKEN BY THE FCC ON FEBRUARY 25, 1999,
CONCERNING RECIPROCAL COMPENSATION FOR DIAL-UP
INTERNET TRAFFIC

   Has the FCC opened the door to Internet charges?

  A:  Absolutely not.  The FCC has reconfirmed the Internet's exemption.
Consumers will see no new charges on their Internet or phone bills.

  Q:   Are we going to see new long distance charges to connect to the
Internet?

  A.   No.  Rumors have been spread by some people, but these rumors are
false.  The FCC will not impose long distance charges for dialing up the
Internet.

  Q:   Is there any way that local phone companies will be able to start
imposing usage-sensitive access charges to Internet service providers?

  A.   No.  The exemption from long distance access charges is solid as a
rock and has been upheld in court.

  Q:   The FCC will not allow long distance charges for local calls to the
internet.  But has the FCC made it easier for states to impose long
distance charges for local calls to the Internet?

  A:   No.  States have no power to impose long distance charges.  Only the
FCC can do that, and we declared our jurisdiction over this traffic.

  Q:   What changes can consumers expect to see as the result of this
decision-- in the short run, and in the long run?

  A:   Consumers should see no changes in their Internet or phone bills,
either in the short run or long run, as a result of this Order.  The big
picture in the long run is very positive -- our continued "hands off"
policy towards the Internet will allow it to continue growing rapidly,
unfettered by regulations.

  Q:  How will Internet providers react to this Order?  Will this be good
for business or bad for business?

  A:  It's good for business and consumers.  We have clarified how
companies pay each other for this traffic and we have done so in a way that
prohibits the assessment of long distance charges.  This can only help
consumers.

  Q:   Why were so many negative rumors spread around?

  A:  The Internet has become extremely important to a lot of people in the
last few years.  We get letters every week from people for whom access to
the Internet has opened up whole new possibilities for business, social
service, and life. The very idea of paying long-distance-type charges for
hours web surfing naturally produces great anxiety.  Therefore these rumors
tend to
spring up anytime the FCC does anything related to long distance service.

Hi,

I should probably start out by mentioning that I'm a complete
novice to linux and computers in general.
A few days after buying the linux cd's I finally succeeded in
more or less installing the system and x is running.
But how can I get some sound out of it?
I looked in yast "integrate hardware innto system",
but nothing there about a soundcard or anything.
(Assuming soundcard is hardware). I think I have a
'soundblaster pro' or something like that.

Thanks in advance!

Have you run the script /usr/sbin/suserundig to initialise the database
after configuring the database in /opt/www/htdig/conf/susedig.conf?

If yes, and you're still getting the message, you may be falling foul of
the same error I had - lack of space in /tmp for the temporary files
htdig creates when initialising the database.

You can get around that by setting the envvar TMPDIR to somewhere on
your disk where you have plenty of free space until after suserundig has
executed.=20

If you add -v to the end of each commandline in the suserundig script,
you'll get some feedback to the console as to what is (or isn't)
happening.

I'm using 2.0.36 and would like to stick to this kernel because of it's
stability (and newer kernels also do not have all the ISDN-functionality of
SuSE's 2.0.36 that I need). However, this kernel does not support my
Soundblaster 128 PCI.  Do you have any suggestions how to solve this.
(Must be possible since RedHat's 2.0.36 does support this card).

Thank you in advance.

I consider myself THE expert having just had the worst time. Since Jan 1
1999 I have had to buy several and swap some more. It's all been my own
fault (well mostly) if only I had had enough sense to ask. Now I have it
working I never want to do it again.

Almost everything nowadays is winmodem, but some will work anyway. PCI
modems are to be stayed away from until somebody writes a work aroun. I
wouldn't have a clue. Other internal modems may or not work, but stay away
from those that say "Minimum requirements: Win something." Try to get the
bloke in the shop to say he'll have it back if it doesn't work with
non-windows.

Go for external. Besides they have flashy light; it impresses me anyway :)
Even the ones I got have a "Minimum Requirements: Windows ..., " but I think
the difference here is that it say's it will work with 3.1. That was the
clue I went for and it is fine.

Happy hunting.

I have an additional reason to ALWAYS want external modems.

They can be turned off INDEPENDENTLY from the comp itself.

I would consider it a security risk to have an internal:
A virus/trojan could (without my knowledge) dial up to
anywhere (or if i use diald: go online) and transmit
private documents to anyone or just dial an expensive
number (in a foreign country) and spend all my money.

With an external modem I can prevent all this, simply
by turning off the modem.

It sounds more like this:

Should be a link in /usr/src from linux-2.0.35 -> linux

Your linux symlink in the /usr/src directory is missing. It really is the
preferred way to have kernel sources set up. You already found out why.

That would account for your other findings. You just discovered the results
without knowing the problem.

Subject: [SuSE Linux] removing gtk/glib self compiled libs

So, I am at the point in making a decision about going with gnome 1.00
and have to install the rpms for glib/gtk to make things work right.  I
have self-compiled gtk/glib and now will probably have to remove them
to get the rpms to work correctly.  Does anyone have any insight they
can offer regarding this?  Has anyone applied the gnome rpms at the
1.00 level and self-compiled gtk/glib?  How does one remove these libs
manually?

This whole thing makes me speculate on having a package administration
approach which would manage the whole system and not just some aspect
of it.  We need a yast which manages self-compiled programs and offers
to manage the system across the board.

Comments, opinions?

Hallo,

I have 2 NIC's installed on 1 PC. One NIC (eth0) is connected to an ISP using=
 a cable modem.
The ISP gives me a dynamic IP.  The other NIC (eth1:192.168.0.1) is connected=
 to a second PC(192.168.0.2) using static IP.

1.  DHCP Client activated by Yast:
        eth0 works properly.
        eth1 doesn't appear at the startup-listing and ifconfig eth1 gives 0.=
0.0.0  So ping 192.168.0.2 doesn't work.
2.  DHCP Client not activated:
        The 2 NIC's appears at startup.
        eth1 works. I can ping 192.168.0.2
        eth0 doesn't work. Of course I need a dynamic IP

How can obtain the following configuration ?
        eth0 dynamic IP   and   eth1 static IP

Thanks for helping this newbie
Jan Vercammen

Right on!  I said the same thing myself a few days ago in this forum.
Hope someone at SuSE is really thinking about it.
Lenz did respond to my message - said he'd forward it to feedback(a)suse.de.

If you pronouns SuSE in the German way it'll be like Suzy except for the y
sound that will be replace by a the h sound that people pronounce when they
imitate an Italian who is speaking English. That is more or less like it.

Well,

The best means for the moment is to do it manually, though it is not as
easy to do it, I suppose, for voluminous libraries as gtk/glib.

Once compiled with *make*, the libraries are to be installed with *make
install*. While the latter is running you see all the procedures on your
screen. You can undo them manually, unless there is a *make uninstall*
possibility (which exists for some packages (Once, the lib compiled, try
to do it before *make install*)

To avoid to reinstall the recompiled lib, there should be an install
script, unless I'm wrong. I never had to uninstall my gtk/glib for the
moment. Moreover, my experience with Linux is too limited to give you
more precise information.=20

So, consider it as a possibility, and perhaps someone else will add
something to the thread in this direction :)

Martin from Geneva.

P.S. By the way, You could just install your *.rpm(s) over your self
compiled libs, don't you?!

I am using the 2.2.0-pre7 kernel from SuSE Linux 6.0, but I've noticed=20
that my serial mouse on COM1 is not working anymore.

I have (solved?) this problem by removing the serial program /sbin/init.d

Is this correct or is there a better solution tyo solve this?

When you plug my ethernet card into a hub(via ethernet, the hub segments
that port.

Why would it do that? Strange. Would Linux configuring the card wrong make
it mad?
 Could the network card be running at full duplex? If so how can i turn that
off.

Specs:

Suse 5.3 install from CD's.
Network card kingston 10/100

Thanks in advance!

The problem is solved. But it took quite some work i need to reinstall the sa=
mba
package. The samba mount part is now split into to parts. Later i will try to=
 use
the original package. But as far as i know it doesn't work.

The input string is: smbmount \\\\k6-2\\d -c 'mount /mnt -u user -g group'

I hope Suse will deliver a new RPM package soon, to solve this problem. The m=
an
pages don't say anything about this problem. I can imagine as 2.2.0pre7 kernel
support was just hackers support. But now it's getting more real.

I hope the suse patch file that is delivered to samba will also be edit as it=
's
not the up to date. it doesn't compile smbmount, smbmnt for example.

hey gang,
just upgraded netscape to 4.5 on my SuSE 5.3 box.......and was wondering
,
is there anyone running this version that knows how to get rid of that
annoying left window in the messenger??? i can only minimize it so that
about a inch shows on my 800x600 desktop,
in the winblows version i can minimize it all the way so nothing shows.
my comment to netscape would be "why do you want your product to look
like MS I.E.?"
gross.........

I don't know for sure, But the 4 years in german class make me want to
believe it is pronounced "sues ae"

I haven't really thought about it much......I say it "sue see"

If you mean the window showing the folders - yes, I do! Go
to View -> Show and uncheck the folder-option.

Hello,

First I would like to thank everyone for the pointers on the kernel
upgrade.  I have 2.2.2 compiled and running and was able to get ppp up the
first time out.  I'm having printing problems now.  I have parallel
printer support compiled in ( CONFIG_PRINTER ) but when I issue lpr
nothing happens.  Am I missing something ?=20

TIA, Mike

Go to suse's website and search the support database by
hardware. Then select souncards, and find the article on setting up
a soundblaster.

There has been a big change in the way you setup sound
between versions 5.3 and 6.0. Also there is a difference
in setup between the 2.036 kernel and the 2.2.* kernels.

It is very easy to setup sound with the OSS sound system from
4Front. It only costs about 25 bucks, but is a lifetime license with=20
free upgrades. Otherwise, you can spend a saturday afternoon
trying to set it up manually.
I do it manually, but have easily spent over 20 hours learning
about sound. If you are pressed for time, get OSS, otherwise
post what version of suse you are using and  what kernel you use.

Basically, you setup isapnp, edit it, compile sound as a module,=20
and turn sound on as root.

hello david,

which version of SuSE do you have?  and do you know which kernel you
have installed?  ironically, i found it easier getting sound to work
with kernels 2.0.x than with 2.2.x.  Anyway, if you have the 5 CD
release you should find the free version of OSS under the sound packages
via YaST.  Make sure it is installed and then read the help that comes
with it.  It will hopefully automatically detect your sound card and
install the appropriate drivers.  Or if you've got the $20(?) just buy
the commmercial version of OSS and get technical support (and more
functionality).  Using OSS is very easy so you should have few problems.

rite... If your card is a ne2000 or compatible

well thats the easy part! ;-) there will be a few more things you need
to do once you have the driver/module for the card loaded..

I havent done this in about 4 - 5 months so bear with me but
First you have to mount the cd on the "server side" in yast with the
mount point of
/var/adm/mnt or /var/adm/mount  

on the "client" side you'll be asked if you want to log on as anonymous
or a user
you need to be a known user on the server machine and not root
select user -  it prompts you for a name and password - then if the cds
mounted in the suggested dir on the server -in yast, Then yast kickes in
on the client and the install begins

I really went nuts with this but someone from the list helped me and
when it works its a beautiful thing ... when it dosent... 
let us know how you make out

This discussion reminds me of the character played by W.C. Fields in many
1930's movies, a drunk by the name of Mr. Souse.  He insisted that his name
should be pronounced "soosay", but no one else pronouced it that way.

Hi,

Has anyone noted any problems with the GNU C compile on SuSE 6.0? I've
experienced som problems compiling apps such as kmysql, dbmetrix etc.  I've
checked and I do have all of the required packages installed.

Thanks,

Yes, I have lpd started it shows up at the end of the boot messages.
I went back through the make menuconfig and I must have been mistaken on
the parallel printer support. I am unable to find it anywhere in 2.2.2.
There is a parallel port support ( CONFIG_PARPORT ) however compiling this
in does not solve the problem. I am at a loss as to where the printer
suport is, it usually resides in Character devices.  Has anyone
experienced this before? Is my source tar ball missing something?
Or does the new kernel handle printing differently and I'm just not seeing
where it is?
Thanks, Mike

I recommend xfce.

Pro: small, fast, uses low RAM, easy to install, VERY
CONFIGURABLE.
Con: No kill option on root window menu - nothing an xterm
won't fix.

I found KDE 1.0 would fill 128MB RAM and 64MB swap in 4
days, forcing
a reboot to clear it out. I changed out wm, still using same

and am having no problems.

I recently called SuSE to find out about my 6.0 upgrade, the woman
that answered the phone did not pronouce it Soo-zee, perhaps closer
to Soo-Suh and that is what prompted me to ask. I mispronouced
Linux for months before I learned the proper pronucication, didn't
want to make the same mistake with SuSE.

Do we need to be? I just was repeating what I think I read in the faq. I
mean if we're asking questions, I could ask 'who cares?' and let that be
the next in line. I'm not sure who or what you think needs to be 'clear'.=20

I managed tonite to download all kinds of gnomeish stuff for the
upgrade. I had some serious worry points with the self-compiled
gtk/glib stuff.  In fact, the rpms failed finding the libs.  I had only
three applications break because they were looking for libs from an
earlier compilation.  I got these sorted out tonite and have a working
gnome 1.0.1 system basically intact.  I managed to get two of the three
apps working.  If I want balsa I will have to recompile it appears.
So thats my story and Im stuck with it. This is definitely one of those
situations where I append a YMMV after the success.

  Your best bet will be to edit your /etc/profile file, look for the
alias section and edit the line that reads the following
  alias ls=3D'ls --color=3Dtty'
and make it say
  alias ls=3D'ls --color=3Dnever'
logout then log back in, next time your run an 'ls' command you will
nolonger see any colors.

Hi Michael,

can you please tell me where you got the libs from? And if the is a special
way to instal them how did you install them?

Thanks,

Joop.

> Thanks, Mike

The printer devices are (sometimes) numbered differently now -- one
computer used to use /dev/lp2, now it uses /dev/lp0 -- also (assuming
you compiled line printer support as a module) you need something
like:

alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
options parport_pc io=3D0x278

With the correct io address you are using.  (This computer generated
an interrupt for every character printed so I do not use interupts
with it.)  See /usr/src/linux/Documentation/parport.txt for more
details.

(You should be able to kludge things up to put the lp on the same
/dev/lp? as the old kernel, but once I "located" my printer I did not
bother looking into it any further.)

Hope this helps.

Hey, when I said "Am I dumb" I mean it that I cannot see my messages on the
list while I can receive messages from the list (like if I cannot speck, not
that I am such a "dumb"). It seems that people at SuSE, after the spamming we
had, decided to filter out all the messages whose headers don't correspond to
the ones of  list subscribers. There is no advise on the web page and I haven=
't
found out ,yet, if such a filter  is applied to the address of the sender, the
server mail used or the "FROM" header. I usually work on three different
machine and I would like to know how to setup the account in order to be able
to send mail to this list from any machine.

This is similar to what I'm going thru w/ my build of 2.2.1.

I eventually found the parallel port in Character Devices -- it's toward
the end of the list.

I've got *both* this (Charactar devices) and the CONFIG_PARAPORT
parallel support compiled into the kernel, but no luck.

I've also reedited /etc/printcap for lp0 and lp1, to try each port (you
might try this yourself). No luck.

With me, the initial problem was lacking the correct permissions for the
/var/spool/lpd/"printer"....auto.... directory. Jobs didn't spool.

Now that I've chmod 755'd the directory, print jobs spool okay, but I
still get this error:

lpr: connect: Connection refused
jobs queued, but cannot start daemon

The man pages indicate that what's going on here is this: lpr can't talk
to the daemon (which is already started, because I verified this w/ ps
aux).

I'm really mystified with this problem, which has consumed a vast amount
of time.

Is your situation similar?

Any gurus know what's going on?

Yes, I have lpd started it shows up at the end of the boot messages.
I went back through the make menuconfig and I must have been mistaken on
the parallel printer support. I am unable to find it anywhere in 2.2.2.
There is a parallel port support ( CONFIG_PARPORT ) however compiling this
in does not solve the problem. I am at a loss as to where the printer
suport is, it usually resides in Character devices.  Has anyone
experienced this before? Is my source tar ball missing something?
Or does the new kernel handle printing differently and I'm just not seeing
where it is?

You know I have seen a lot a mail about YaST, linuxconfig, etc. So=20

SuSE and have had very little trouble and it can due most things YaST
does and also linuxconfig can do so anyhow!

I like -fn 10x20 because my screen is 1280x1024

You find such fonts in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc

I had a similar problem with the 2.2.1 kernel.
It revolved around a conflict with my soundcard.
My solution?
Set printer irq to 7 in bios.
Use yast to setup printer on /dev/lp0
Set my souncard to irq5

It was weird, I could not use sound on irq7, even if
I chose irq5 and /dev/lp1 for the printer.

Hello!
I have recently installed suse 6.0 and have found out that there is no ssh
included - is there an glibc rpm somewhere on the SuSE's ftp site - I cant
seem to find it though. If anyone knows where to find one i'd really
apreciate it - i dont want to compile it from the source - still having
problms with libc/glibc (gcc and egcs)

Thx in advance

In my opinion there is no point in thinking about the pronumnciation
of SuSE. It is a 4-letter abbreviation for (Gesellschaft fuer) Sofware
und Systementwicklung, and the german people until recently wrote it
as S.u.S.E (germans like dots and capitals). Like for other foreign
abbreviations one can pronounce these following one's own linguistic
rules or habits.

Mine was on the separate little registration card in the box. It contained
your suse registration number and the Star Office mediakey. The mediakey
just allows you to install far enough to go online and get a real regnum
and user id from StarOffice.

I don't know if someone mentioned this to you yet,
but the 2.2.* series of kernels switched the irqs around for /dev/lp1
and /dev/lp0.  /dev/lp1 now is irq5 and /dev/lp0 is now irq7.
Check this against your souncard settings, there may be a conflict.

So check your system bios for the irq setting for your parallel port,
check your soundcard irq, check yast to see if you are on /dev/lp0
or /dev/lp1, and open conf.modules to check irq and port for the
printer module, if you went modular.

Hi-

I got all the rpms from the suse 6 portion of www.gnome.org.  I did not
use yast because the website warns that using yast may cause a lot of
dependency errors to crop up.  Here is what I did; worked for me.

*downloaded all the rpms (minus devel except for gnome-libs-devel and
imlib-devel.  These also failed the dependency check)
into separate directory to lessen operator confusion
*got out of windowmaker and gnome 99.8 to a console. I just felt more
comfortable with this
*attempted to do an rpm -Uvh *rpm in the directory I was in.  That
caused me to see all kinds of failed dependencies for gtk/glib.  I was
kind of lost at this point because I had compiled the gtk/glib stuff
myself.  I grabbed the gtkn/glibn packages and installed them for the
purposes of getting stuff straightened out
*everything went except for some missing file messages which rpm
ignored and continued
*then I reinstalled my gtk/glib stuff.
*now I think I will have to download and upgrade the devel stuff.=20
Thats the only way I can compile stuff.

I booted windowomaker and got gnome working but I had a few issues.
My issues were with earlier compiled programs looking for a link
library which was gone.  These apps included gedit, gmc, and xchat.
I removed the self-compiled gedit and replaced it with the rpm and got
gedit working.  I also did this with gmc.  I finally recompiled xchat
as this is my favorite irc client of all time.

Everything now works except for balsa.  Balsa wants the old gtk libs.=20
I dont use balsa but I want to get things back the way they were.  I
dont know what happens with gtk/glib when you do an rpm install.  I
honestly think that they go somewhere else other than the default
/usr/lib since rpm -Uvh *rpm could not find my perfectly good gtk/glib
self-compiled libs.  More than likely, no entry in the rpm database is
the scoundrel.  I can compile gnome apps and gtk apps now so things
seem okay.

I know this seems like a meandering text and I apologize. I wanted to
try to cover exactly what I did to get gnome working here.

Hey, when I said "Am I dumb" I mean it that I cannot see my messages on the
list while I can receive messages from the list (like if I cannot speack, not
that I am such a "dumb"). It seems that people at SuSE, after the spamming we
had, decided to filter out all the messages whose headers don't correspond to
the ones of  list subscribers. There is no advice on the web page but I think
it is based on the "From:" header. I am not sure about that, though, because I
usually work on three different machine, with three different domain name,
with three different setup for my mail account, and I could send mail to the
list from each of them, even if there was a bigger delay from the machine who=
se
domain name is different from the one I used to get subscribed to the list.=20
Can you confirm that, so I can setup accordingly my mails account?

TIA

Maurizio

but that works only for kvt, not for a normal xterm. kvt also does not
offer you the 10x20 font. Most fonts it *does* offer appear quite
ugly, at least on my screen. Especially the variable size ones.=20

I had a similar problem when I compiled the 2.0.36 kernel on SuSE6.0. I got a
"char-major-6" not found. That was because I compiled the printer support
directly into the kernel while the kernel expected the printer support to be
compiled as a module /in fact in /etc/conf.modules there is a "char-major-6=20
lp" line). When I compiled the printer support as a module I could print agai=
n.
This might apply to your case because I had a look at /lib/modules/2.2-pre7 a=
nd
I found out this lines in the  modules.dep:
/lib/modules/2.2.0-pre7/misc/lp.o: /lib/modules/2.2.0-pre7/misc/parport.o=20

Hope this help

Does the SuSE 6  section only exist on ftp.gnome.org .  I went to several
mirrors but have yet to find a SuSE 6 section on any of them.

No.  Go to www.gnome.org.  Select Quick- Take me to the software and
look at the list for SuSE 6 software.  Go to that page and it has all
the packages for the current release of gnome (1.0.1).  The page there
lists some mirrors.  If you want the direct url, I can send it along
but you can get to the page real quick by starting at www.gnome.org.

I believe the truth of the matter is that the German pronunceation would
fall between Soo-zee and Soo-Suh.  If I'm not mistaken the final 'e' is
pronounced like a-umlaut.  That is a sound between the english 'a' as in
'apple', and 'e' as in 'end'.  The 's' sound in German tends to be between
our 's' and our 'z'.  I have never heard it pronounced in english, but I
always say "Soo-Suh."  I kind of like Suu-zee though.

I use :

 xterm -font 9x15bold (some other cmd line stuff for color, geometry, etc).

If you don't have any other X-Fonts installed, that's why you can't use
them.

You can look in '/usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/misc/fonts.alias' for a list of
fonts that can be used from the command line.

What "save options" options menu?

Sounds like you're talking about kvt, not xterm.

This does not cause balsa to run whatsoever here.  Balsa reports not
finding the gtklib I had installed when I compiled balsa.  I deleted
the original binary file but it still says that it has a problem
locating this lib.  Dont quite understand this. =20

I did recompile my self built gtk/glib and will probably have to
download all the devel packages to get things compiling correctly.

Have others installed the gnome 1.0.1 rpms?  Did you have self compiled
gtk/glib libs installed or did you do rpms for everything?  Im just
curious because I definitely wanted my self-compiled gtk/glib there
because the rpm's could never be found when I attempted compiling
sources.  When I compiled xchast last nite it found my self-compiled
stuff first time.

I dont really know if broke anything but I dont believe I did because
everything works exceedingly well here.  If people are interested, I
could post some basic comments about changes between the 99.8 and the
release.  There are some things I did not see in the 99.8 release that
may have been there in cvs releases.  There is a gnome-ppp applet now
and a few other things which are a bit different.  The menus seem
somewhat better thought out, etc. =20

Just as a side note, I just verified that all the gnome 1.0.1 rpms
installed.

I had my CDROM setting as the Master on the second IDE connector.  I
couldn't get my new 6.4GB HD to be recognized as a slave on the second
IDE.  So, I had to change the jumpers on the CDROM to make it a slave,
and the jumpers on the new HD to make it a master.  Then Linux saw the
new HD, and I could still boot from my CDROM.

Hi, newbie question:- Using SuSE 5.3/kernel 2.0.36 on an old box (586
100mhz,512mb hdd, 72Mb RAM). I set it up with a swapfile of only 32Mb
because of space shortage. Watching resources using top I find that in
order to use the swapfile i need to load 7 copies of Worperfect8 + 3
copies of Netscape4.5 + 5 xterms (all running xaos with the rotating
palette option - to load up the CPU). My Q is is a swapfile really
essential?????
Thanks, Trevor.

I made the same kernel adjustments you did and had no further problems
(under 5.3).  I believe you can still refer to your IDE devices as
/dev/hda, etc., and the CDRW as /dev/sr0 (or whatever the right number
is).

Hello all,
Thanks so much for the insight.  I recompilled with the print stuff as
modules and then played with the port assignments. It turns out that 2.2.2
sees the (previous kernels) /dev/lp1 as /dev/lp0, just a reassignment of
ports, problem solved. I had a problem with fetchmail also. I don't use
imap, only pop3 so the way I have networking set up in the kernel
conflicts with the out of the box config of fetchmail when it does its
check of protocalls.  Solution; wrote .fetchmailrc in
/home/username something like this...

poll pop.ispname.whatever proto pop3 user username pass password fetchall

Just sub in your isp, username and password,then issue fetchmail at the=20
command line and all is well.  The imap protocall is bypassed.  I just
wanted to post this in an effort to contribute back to the group.  Hope it
helps someone.

Thanks again, Mike=20

BTW the performance boost and the learning/insite experience is well
worth the minor difficulties a kernel newbie like myself may experience.
I've been using Linux for a few years due to it's stability and for me,
stability alone was enough to stick with it. After doing this kernel
upgrade and 'seeing' some of the nuts and bolts of the os I am convinced
that it is the only way to fly. As for SuSE, I have tried just about every
distro and IMHO you guys are tops as far as integrating everything into a
tight package and holding back until you've got it right(glibc and such).
My two cents ;-).=20

I think that is an excellent idea. that Martin has.

In general things such as scripts and the like need not be attached and
any other things that might be attached may be emailed by an individual
to an individual.'

I point no finger at anyone, but "anyone" may be on this list and though
I don't want to be suspicious there are entities using Linux and not
using Linux that might care to cause chaos.

I intend to immediately delete any email I receive that has an attchment
unless I specifically have requested it from an individual.

DELETE THIS EMAIL MEASSAGE AFTER READING IT!

I would have to say yes.

There are those times when you have that momentary surge of processes when
you are suddenly out of memory. Swap can help when you don't realize it. It
can also be used when you can't see it in top. Even if you use top with no
display delay, it may be almost impossible to see the swapper in action.

Some swap is, IMO, necessary.  How much is another elusive question. You
need some experience and lots of playin' around to be able to figure that
one out, adequately.

Yeah, I know that there's no warranty, but I'm not sure I have the=20

    /opt/netscape/netscape -no-about-splash

As far as I can tell from the depths of newbiedom, this sets the=20

KDE 1.1 is out and is far better with smaller memory footprint. Try it.

I think KDE and X as a whole run xrdb.  Just that there seems to be a bug
between lines 10 and 13 (more correctly line 13 overrides what is stated in
line 10).  At least that is the error I get, and have yet to resolve.  I am
going to have to swap notes on that with a friend of mine who still has 5.3
installed.

Hi,
    I'm a new lurker of this list and a new user of Linux as well. Greetings
to all of you! I've written 'cause I have a problem in making linux detect
my Creative PCI 128 sound card. I have got SuSE 6.0. The full version of OSS
(3.7.something) doesn't autodetect it, while the new demo version
(3.9.something else) does, as an Ensoniq 3970 PCI card, if I remember well.
But it refuses to work when I give 'soundon', 'cause I don't have the
license file. I've compiled the 2.2.2 kernel, enabling sound module, and
specifically the one of my chipset, but it still doesn't work. BTW, I don't
know _how_ to ensure if the module works, since my suppositions are based on
the fact that xmix and such programs say that they can't found hardware, or
similar, there still isn't any sound card setup in YaST, and... I don't hear
anything! So,
    -how can I ensure the kernel support works correctly?
    -must I buy the licence for OSS? I'm only a student , and I have
troubles in gathering the money (oooh... what a sad story.. ;). BTW, SuSE
shouldn't say it supports my card if one is compelled to pay additional
bucks to get it work...
    -is there any other list member who resolved the same situation, or
someone who can give advices?
    Bye,
        Germano Rizzo

just wondering if anyone would know why wvdial says that modem will not
respond. i edited the file wvdial reads from and inserted ATZ as modem init
and ATDT as dialing prefix. it will respond in minicom but slowly and kppp
wont work either. i am not good with configuring text files and chatscripts
so wanted to try wvdial to connect to isp using pap.

thanks

I haven't looked at gnome yet.  I'm going to wait until they clean it up
a bit.  I think they did harm to their cause by releasing what many are
calling a "beta" or even "alpha" version because of it's incompleteness
and lack of stability, it what some are saying is true.   ???

I downloaded and installed gtk from tarballs.  In fact, because of some
problems with the rpm program itself I have switched to using tarballs,
except for when YaST uses it.=20

So, from your experience, is it reasonably stable or still shakey?

OSS has a free version out that will probably work fine for you!

Yeah.  The GNOME list has had a share of issues with programs.  I have
to say here though the 1.0.1 release of rpm's built has been quite
stable.  I have left the system running since downloading and applying
the rpm upgrades.  As I mentioned, only gedit, balsa, and gmc wouldnot
work but that was not the fault of the 1.0.1 release. =20

ImO, GNOME 1.0.1 is ready for primetime overall.  Perhaps we will see
various pieces upgraded and refined.  I think GNOME is an evolving
thing.  The 1.0.1 release marks a change in a few areas. Now if there
could be some integrated approach to the packages for installation and
support, it would be great.

Moreover, I feel compelled to mention that SuSE needs to actively
consider producing a package management and administration suite which
will allow us the freedom of using either rpms or tarballs.  I use
tarballs usually; but wimped last nite and got the rpms.  The thought
of compiling 20 or 30 programs was rather daunting to me last nite.

Some interesting things re: gnome.  The application set is still
evolving.  There are new applications or ones not in the 99.88 release.
There is a graphical ppp dialing program. The program seems much more
responsive to menu calls and program selections.  There were problems
with the gmc file manager and I think there still may be some.  The
display though is quite nice and it has decent management tools.  I
have not seen gnumeric (spreadsheet) but intend on doing so.  A few of
the best of breed apps would be for me:

xchat
gedit
calender
gnomecard
all the great games!!

I cannot rate balsa at this level because I had overall display
problems with the program on both a laptop and desktop.  A few others
that seem pretty cool are the level of configurability of the panel
itself.  I think a tough, but improving, area is the integration of
gnome and window managers.  I personally like windowmaker but others
choose englightenment.

Tools that manage the GNOME installation are quite well done also ImO.

You can also point the configure script to the correct location for
kde or qt includes or libs.  Type configure --help |more (my suggestion)
and you can see what switches the configure script will accept.  Note
that when configure checks for the correct qlib version it will print
out what it finds usually.  Its been my experience that by installing
kde from rpms and then attempting to compile/install tarballs, that you
often will need to use configure switches.

Easy.  Put one of the installation cd's into your cdrom drive and start
yast as root user.  Now go to change or create system configuration and
select the staroffice package out of the pay group. It will install a
script on your system called sosetup.  Now exit yast and run the
script.  You will need the medianumber which shipped with suse 6 to
immediately register.  AFter you get internet access you will need to
permanently register via the web.  The version installed will time out
in about 15 or 30 days.

This was the first question I posed to the SuSE guys at LinuxWorld.  I
essentially got 3 answers:
- Soo-zee
- Soo-Suh
- and something that sounds like the children's author "Soose"

According to the folks at the conference, both from German and American
origin, it really doesn't matter, and what you call it is dependent on
where you are from.  One gentleman, upon hearing that I was from
California, suggested I call it "Soo-Suh". =20

I believe I heard more Germans pronouncing it "Suu-zee" (like the
feminine name), but I believe that is slang, and not really the
"correct" German pronunciation.

Are we all clear on this now?

Judging by the errors the QT lib is either missing or is the incorrect
library.  Check the makefile to see that it is looking in the correct
place for the QT lib and then confirm that the QT version you have is
the correct one for the app.

insert cd 1
    use yast under load installation pick default installation then hit
escape
    this will take you back to the main yast screen
    from there choose edit installation and scroll down the list of choices
to commercial and hit enter. will should then see a list of the software
choices you can choose from. scroll down to star office english. if it
doesnt say staroffice50 then you can probably figure it out from the
description at the bottom of the screen. when it is highlighted i think you
hit the space bar. if your system needs other programs to be installed in
addition to the package to make it work properly a screen will
appear(dependencies) from their either manually check the files or simply
choose auto which will automatically resolve these dependencies and from
there you either press f10 or simply go back to the main yast screen and
choose begin installation.
    after you have the uncompiled binary installed on your system you will
have to compile it(convert from source code to binary) in order to use it.
this is fortunately very easy just type sosetup when logged in as root. you
will have to supply the code that came with your distribution(it should be
on the white card that has your registration information. make sure you type
in all caps or exactly as it appears. if you've lost it i am not sure if it
is a generic number to all distributions or is specific for each
distribution but i suspect that it is a generic code. you could probably get
it on this list if it is the same for everyone. keep in mind that this is
only a 30 day registration and you will have to connect to the stardivision
site to get a code to use the program continuously.
    its in my opinion comparable to word perfect and definitely better than
the applixware demo because you can only write one page with it.

I'm in the process of hammering out a new installation and a whole lot
of new issues are cropping up at once:

1)  Switching from RH to SuSE 6,
2)  Installing on a laptop, implying
2a)  learning PCMCIA stuff and
2b)  learning APM stuff.

It's in regard to item 2) that I write.  I was having system lockups
every time I resumed from a suspend-to-RAM operation and among the
things I read was a note that this is often a case of the PCMCIA having
been compiled _not_ to use APM.  I went to the PCMCIA website and
grabbed the latest version of the PCMCIA utilities (3.0.9) and
compiled/installed them  --  for use with a supported Ethernet device.

Now at bootup time, I see a very interesting phenomenon:  when the
PCMCIA subsystem is initialized, the networking fails, claiming that no
such interface as eth0 exists.  As near as I can tell from the bootup
messages, this occurs between the 'pcmcia start' and the 'network start'.
However, if I change my default runlevel from 2 to 1, boot, and then=20
issue 'init 2' as root, everything works the way it did before I changed=20
the PCMCIA stuff.

Bearing in mind that I don't yet fully understand the "SuSE way" of
configuring and booting -- and that I also don't fully understand the
Linux PCMCIA utilities -- does anyone have any idea what I might need to
change to fix this problem?

If any system files or such are needed, I can certainly send them along
but I don't want to guess and fill this message with useless information
while risking leaving out what is actually needed.  Feel free to email
me at the address in my sig or reply via the list if you think this is
something others would benefit from.

Thanks,

Jim -- who knows RedHat but isn't running it anymore...

Well - this should depend on which modem you are using. modems are usually=20
produced with  their own specififc init strings to
optimise performance. hmm. Nothing to stop you writing you own or tweaking=20
the original, though. Maybe a good idea to try the Web site of
you modem manufacturer and see if they have their own scripts to download. =20
Try you ISP support too.
Or for example  -=20
http://www.visi.com/support/modems/>
http://www.netins.net/dialup/modems/init/>
http://curlew.davlin.net/modemhelp.html>
Otherwise configuring wvdial  seems pretty easy - edit /etc/wvdial.conf - =20
inserting your ISP phone number, ISP user name, ISP password, modem baud=20
rate.
I may be wrong here but;=20
Keep init1 to ATZ, or  ATZ1, as this command resets the modem hardware. im=20
no expert.
init2; insert the script from your modem manufactureretc that handles the=20
dialling etc.
best to get hold of a modem command reference if you want to hack some=20
scripts yourself. =20
i found the most important command is M0 - this turns off the modem sound=20
chip!!!
good luck

Subject: [SuSE Linux] Setting up a /pub directory...

Greetings!

I was wondering how I could properly set up a /pub directory that could be
accessible to my roommate's Win95 computers over a LAN.  I briefly
experimented with a SUSE installation on my old 486 system with the /pub
directory burned into a cd and Samba accessing the cdrom drive.  This worked
out OK but it was pain to get working.  I'm now waiting for a new Pentium
motherboard and hard drive before I set up a permanent file server
installation.

I think this is how a /pub directory should be set up (again, I'm not sure):

1. Create a pub user account that automatically creates a /home/pub
directory.

2. Enable the subdirectories in pub to be world read-only but keep the
various "." files in the pub directory private to the pub user account.

3. Set up the appropriate read-only permissions in Samba to have the
directory accessible as /fileserver/pub to the network.

Am I missing anything here or is there better way to set up the pub
directory?

Just change the xterm font definition in your ~./Xdefaults file to
something suitable. I use

xterm*font: -adobe-courier-bold-r-normal--14-140-75-75-m-90-iso8859-1
=20
You can also set your default fore and background colours there, amongst
other things.

I am I fond of MySQL and PostgreSQL, to tell you the truth I really could care
what database I use as long it is ANSI SQL 92 compliant
or is almost compliant because when I write CGI using PHP I stick to=20
ANSI SQL so the scripts I write can be used on any SQL database w/o
modification, so I would suggest MySQL because of all of the API
and contrib's available.

I've had a lengthy ordeal with configuring printing under 2.2.1,
including the error message:

lpr: connect: Connection refused
jobs queued, but cannot start daemon

Finally, I've narrowed down the root of this problem:=20

When I call yast to configure printcap under 2.2.1, it sets up the
permissions correctly for root, and I'm able to print as superuser.

However, it doesn't enable the correct permissions for the other single
user (I'm at a standalone box right now).

I've only seen this behavior under 2.2.1.

Questions:

-What permissions need to be set?=20

-Has anybody else experienced this problem?

"Time out"? Does this mean that, on SuSE 6.0, Star Office 5 is a *demo*
(like Applixware) that's usable only for a limited period of time?

If that's the case, are there any ways to get a hold of a limited
version of the suite that can be used indefinitely?

Sorry about my ignorance -- I haven't looked into this software package
until recently.

Go ahead and open the xterm then click the options menu at the top.=20
Using the menu set the fonts and terminal size of your choice and then
click save options at the bottom of the options menu.  That will change

I don't know about what permissions have to be set, but I have
seen a similar problem. Mine revolved around a conflict with
the sound card.

First thing I would do is go back thru your printer setup
with a fine tooth comb. Start in the bios and make sure
your printer port is set to irq 7 , not auto.  If it's auto,
root might get away with printing, while a user may not.
Just a guess.

Then setup yast to put the printer on /dev/lp0, not
/dev/lp1.  If you have the printer setup as a module,
make sure your conf.module setting reflects this change
to irq7.

Then check your soundcard and make sure it is at irq5.
If it's a pnp card, change /etc/isapnp.conf and your
setting in conf.modules.

YMMV, but this works for me.=20

It sounds like you have an irq conflict between the modem and something else.
What are the com port and irq number for your modem and mouse?
Also, if you are using an internal modem, check your bios and make sure
that your onboard com2 has been disabled. Your internal modem and onboard
serial port uart may be fighting for the same irq.

The OSSfree driver that comes with your 2.2.2 kernel should work with the car=
d.
My guess is that you don't have the proper entry for it in /etc/conf.modules.
Do you have an entry in /etc/conf.modules for sound? Did you set it to the
irq that the pci system gave to the card at boottime?

------------------------------------------------------
conf.modules entry:
--------------------------------------------------------
alias char-major-14       sound
alias sound               sb
options sb  io=3D0x220 irq=3D5  dma=3D1 dma16=3D5 mpu_io=3D0x330

Of course, put the irq that was given the card at boottime.

After successfully putting my 2 pc's in a network and starting up NFS,
I would like to give pc2 access to the Postgress database on pc1.=20
So I created the mount point /var/lib/pgsql on pc2 and mounted
/var/lib/pgsql of pc1 on it.=20

I was surprised to see that, looking from pc2, I could see all files
down to /var/lib/pgsql/data/base but the files in the base directory
seemed absent:

On pc 1 I saw:                     |  And on pc 2:

I had a similar problem.  Every time I ran YaST to install or remove an
app YaST would reset the /sbin/pppd permission and I would have to
"chmod a+s pppd".  In /etc/permissions you can tell YaST what default
permissions you want various files to have and when YaST runs it will
set the permissions of those files according to the values found in
/etc/permissions.

Hi

        Anyone know anything about installing SuSE with TX-Pro II boards,=20
the ones without the graphics cards ?  They have a chip instead.

        I've been using one with Windows 98 and it works fine.  I'd like to=20
upgrade one of the other machines.   TX-Pro looks really good.

        I was thinking that the SVGA X-server might the answer.

Thanks

Hi everybody.
I wonder how to copy cd under Linux. I've read a nice how-to but it was
only about scsi drivers and I have an Atapi one. I think to have
understood that Atapi cdr-drivers are dealt with like scsi ones through a
sort of emulation. My kernel is enabled for this. Now: can anyone tell me
how to go on? I would greatly apreciate some good documentation about this
issue. For now I am using Win98 to copy cd's but if they contain music the
result is terrible ;( I'm sure Linux can do it better ;)
Thank you

Hi Glenn-

The version on suse 6's cd's will timeout or not work after a period of
time goes by.  If you want to use it past this time, you have to bring
up the registration program and have it access some www server and get
a real registration number from there.  The version will register for
free and become usable indefinitely.  The registration process only
takes about a minute of time.  So it does time out but you can register
for free on a website maintained by star. I was able to register within
30 seconds of accessing their pages.  This process is automated by the
registration process and it does all the work for you.

Uh-huh, I know *this* score. :) I had to perform precisely the same
edit, too. I can't understand why pppd wasn't set at
4755 in the /etc/permissions file to start with . . .

I tried what you recommended, but there didn't seem to be many -- or
even any -- /var/spool/printing-related-directories to configure in
/etc/permissions. I hit the few that I could; didn't help, however.
Maybe yast isn't the problem after all.

I want to start integrating ApacheSSL and some RDBMS.  Does anybody have
experience with this?  I have been playing with Adabas because it is
what SuSE seems to favor internally.  There is a lot of good
documentation on it.  I have the feeling this is not going to be the
easiest thing I've ever done.  Does anybody have a favorite, or better
yet, experience with more than one RDBMS on Linux and with a web
interface?  What is the best way to interface with a web front end,
perl, tcl, c++, other?  Are there alternatives to CGI?

TIA,

Steve

Thanks. A few days ago, I checked out a several of the above configs --
my bios puts the printer port at irq 7 (not auto). The printer's
definitely at /dev/lp0, because that's the port I'm using to print under
root. Soundcard's at irq 9.

I eliminated any soundcard conflicts -- just to be sure -- by compiling
a special kernel with *no* sound, but the problem persisted.

I have a hunch (but nothing more) that it's permission related --
otherwise, I wouldn't be able to print under root.

The only problem is, I've "relaxed" the permissions for everything in
/var/spool/lpd/, but nothing's done the trick. I've done the same for
lp, lpd, & lpr as well.

I don't know enough about printing in Linux to have an idea of what
other permissions might be involved.

The version you get on the suse6 disks will timeout unless
you go online and register them for free.  That is no different
from what Corel did with WordPerfect8.

You get a mediakey with suse, that lets you setup .
Then you go online and register with StarOffice, you then get
a full registration number and userid. This dosn't expire
unless you move to a different machine or email address.

Hi,

I'm running four of the boards with good success and satisfaction except for
the onboard SiS video.  The video works with the new version of XFree but, not
as good as it should. If you check back through the list postings you'll find
that there have been numerous problems with it.

I also ran into a problem with one of the boards in combination with an AMD
K-6 266. It caused a kernel OOPS whenever it booted. I swapped out the
processor for a 233 K-6 and the problem disappeared.  However, the 266
processor worked fine in another "newer" TX-Pro board.  It was probably a bios
problem.

Another area of concern may be the onboard sound.  I had it working on one of
the boards but, I later installed a AWE 64. So my experience is limited.

Personally, I can recommend the boards -- with the above caveats.  I am
writing from one with the onboard video now. I am using it as an X server for
some diskless clients. But, if you want high quality graphics, add a high
quality card like the Diamond Viper 330 RIVA 128 or Diamond Viper 550 RIVA
TNT. These are cards I am using, other folks may recommend  different cards.
There are many good ones. The things I like best about these boards is that
they are cheap and when you get ready to upgrade again you can setup the
onboard sound and video and sell them to the Windoze people. ;-)

Hi,
    thanks to all for answering my problem, expecially to Ken and Jerry
Lynn; I've solved my problem. If anyone have the same, I just downloaded the
latest OSS package from 4front (file osslinux392e-glibc-222-SMP.tar.gz from
www.opensound.com), installed it and it worked fine, but only for 20
minutes... So I stepped on Ken's advice, compiled the kernel with sound
support (2.2.2, the 2.0.36 didn't support it; and compiled the sound supp.
not as a module, but _inside_ the kernel) and... Woah! it works fine, and
without time limits (anyway, I hope so)! Thanks again, list members!

This seems like alot more work than it should be.  If you have Samba setup
already, you can just login with the remote computer using some username and
password.  Doesn't have to be pub.  For instance, I have this .BAT file on my
Windows 95 desktop.
net use h: //Precious/Taveren
Where Precious is the name of the Linux box running Samba, and Taveren is the
user.  When run it asks me for the password and then maps the /home/Taveren
directory to h:.  And since a directory was mapped to a drive letter as the
root of it, I can't go up any directories.  I only have access to the
/home/Taveren directory.  Hope this gives you a little to think about.

Thanks. I've been thru this file a lot the past few days; the only info
relevant to my situation seems to be the /dev/lp0 -> /dev/lp1
switcharound. Switching ports helped me get printing underway for root,
but hasn't helped the situation for user. I'm still getting the error
messages for the latter.

If you find anything in this file or the other kernel docs that might be
helpful, please let me know. :)

I could not find resources on adabas D whatsoever.  For me to use
adabas D for work, I need concrete examples on setup of tables, how to
use different x functions, what the different configuration options
mean in adabas D like for table init. and how to use them.  I dont see
 this anywhere. The online or help docs are quite vague besides using
xcontrol or whatever.  I found informix much easier to work with.  One
command and I have access to my informix databases.  It does not take
myriad hundreds of mb's to install either.  There are front ends in
html for informix freely available.  One can also use the applix data
component to attach to either adabas D or informix databases. =20

I have a web page somewhere which details applix data to informix
somewhere.Have you considered the other ones like postgreSQL, mySQL?  I
have not because I am using informix now for most stuff.  I also use
qddb which provides a lot of functionality for things like contact
lists, addresses, cd rom collections, software titles, etc.

Check in the file /etc/ppp/options for the word "lock". If it is not commented
out, do so. Otherwise pppd tries to get a hold of the modemdevice. As kppp has
already done so, pppd thinks it can't do its things, give you the message "PPP
daemon died unexpectedly", and dies.

This happened to me today after uppgrading from SUSE 5.3 to 6.0.=20

I am trying to install the 2.2.0-pre7 kernel from the SuSE 6.0=20

can solve this by removing "serial" from /etc/init.d, but I do notknow=20
this is the proper method. Anyone any ideas?

Yes, from root, and from user if I do a chmod 755 /dev/lp0.=20

I don't know about YaST, but lpd starts at boot, lp0 is correctly probed
(at the correct 0x378 address), and is correctly identified as
PC-style. Then, on the last line of dmesg, lp0 is taken offline (the
last line of dmesg's output reads "lp0 off-line"). I don't know if this
is normal or not, but it doesn't affect printing under superuser.

I know about the confusion. There's parallel support in two places in
menuconfig -- "General Setup" and "Character Devices" -- and you also
have to include PC-style for the parallel port somewhere. This threw me
for a loop at first. I decided to compile everything into the kernel,
and again, only printing for user is affected (works fine w/ root).

I don't know if there are other places in menuconfig that I've
overlooked; if there are, pls. let me know.

Michael,
Have you seen this?

file:/usr/doc/packages/adabas/html/docu.htm

I am interested in using Informix.  I have messed around with it at work
in
Solaris.  I can never understand why they produce a really good GUI for
windows, and give us a text interface on Unix.  As far as you know there
isn't a GUI for Linux based Informix is there?

I heard about problems with Netscape 4.5 so I was fearful about using
it.  However, I've been using it since I installed SuSE 6.0, a couple of
weeks ago, and it hasn't hiccuped once.  That's about 100 hours of
serfing and a thousand email msgs (if my sent folder count is correct)
and who nows how many newgroup msgs. =20
Everything runs beautifully.

And/or you can configure YaST to only warn you about file permissions it
considers to be wrongly set, and not change them.

Thanks for the info on installing/registering Star Office.

As a follow-up to this topic, has anybody evaluated SO against
Applixware in terms of usability, stability, and looks?

I'm particularly interested in a comparison of the spreadsheets of the
two suites, if anybody would care to sound off on this topic.

You need to add a host entry to the pg_hba file from what I remember. I
don't think you want to share your database via NFS either but instead
use a single postmaster process on the system where the database files
physically reside. Since all client connections are done via TCP/IP
sockets, you can access your databases remotely over your network. I
think it's OK to use NFS for the purposes of having access to the
postgres utilities, libraries and such, but don't try to have a separate
postmaster process on each system trying to manage the database files as
I would expect the database files to become corrupted.

I was online and it did not work.
Seeing my frustration level rising I downloaded NS 4.51
After a complete install I can insert my mail data but Netscape will not
connect to my isp.  It cannot see anything but my ppp connection is
working.  I used wvdial to set it up.

This is not the ease of use I would expect.  Everyting thing as far as I
can tell is set up exactly the same as my other m/c.

I am running the Netscape 4.5 that came with SuSE 6.0.  Everyuthing is
fine except the Messenger facility.  When I click on Messenger I get
the error message that says the default inbox folder is missing.

Can someone tell me what I have done wrong and how I can correct this
problem? =20

Thanks in advance.

Nope, the mouse is on /dev/ttyS1. It looks likes something in the program
"serial".

Way back in 1967, when I was in graduate school, we had a KSR-33
TeleType paper-display terminal, fondly refered to as a 'tty'.   With it
you could type at about 10 cps.  Each time you hit a key a bell would
sound and a series of holes would be punched across a yellow paper tape
mounted on the right side of the keyboard.  The tape had small sproket
holes running down the center of the tape allowing it to be pulled
through the punch head as you typed.  This was how one entered a series
of instructions telling the computer what do to.  Paper from a roll
beneath the keyboard pass up behind the keyboard and over a rubber drum,
where a print head printed the character.  I think you may have seen
this kind of keyboard as props in the older scifi movies or movies about
newspapers.  If you made a mistake on the last keystroke of the program
you had to start all over again.  My major project was programming the
computer to sovle for x using the quadratic equation.  The program, as I
recall, took about 15 to 20 minutes to enter and required about 15 feet
of tape.  We would roll it up and send it to the Computer Center in
Austin, TX., where the CDC 6600 (because it cost 6.6 Million $) would
read it in, along with the data which was also punched into the tape,
and generate a prinout which was mailed back to us.  It was either the
solution to our problem, or dump of the program indicating where the
errors were.  It cost the Physics dept. $1,500/month to rent 15Kb of
storage.  Toward the end of the semester the department contracted with
a local bank to use their new Honeywell 200 after business hours.  We
would go down at 11pm and load the Fortran compiler, feed it our tapes
and get an immediate printout.  At one of their tty's we would type
another tape with any needed corrections and retry it on the Fortran
compiler.  A must quicker process  ;-)...   We were amazed with all the
speed and power.

BTW, did you hear about the STS computer that was announced last week?
It is 4 to 5 times faster than IBM's "Big Blue".  BB takes 3.6 MWatts
and enough hardware to cover a football field.  The STS computer
requires 1.6Kwatts and is only about twice the size of a PC, with 1GB of
RAM.  The speed and power is amazing....

If you are being connected by vwdial and your ISP connection is live and
active, then when you bring up netscape just type your ISP's URL into
the address textbox, i.e. "http://www.navix.net>".
If it does not connect then I suspect that you have your
hostname/domainname and address setup wrongly.

The most obvious question is "Is it missing?".  Did you delete it?
If it truely is missing then click on "Local Mail" in the directory
structure in the left hand side frame and then click the right mouse and
select "new folder". Call it "Inbox".

IMHO, Star Office has gone way down hill.  I find it very very slow on my
166MMX machine.  I hate to say it, but MS Word under 95 on my office machine
runs rings around it.  The only Star Office has going for it is that it is
running on a stable OS.  I had run SO3 for a brief momemnt in time and that w=

reasonably quick.  SO5 has gone way down hill in the interface, in that it is
trying to replicate Micro$oft.

Applix I found fairly quick.  Too bad its registration runs out after a few
months.  Interface is particularly Eurpean in style, but very functional.

WordPerfect--well that is my favorite.  It is quick, intuitive.  Just my styl=

 I now await Corel to port the rest of their suite to Linux.

Then it sounds like you have a network configuration problem, rather
than a problem with Netscape. Have you got a working DNS? Can your
system resolve hostnames?

Netscape doesn't "connect to your ISP" as such. It uses your existing
network to connect where you ask it to. You can tell it to do everything
through a proxy, or to connect directly to each host that you point it
at, but if it can't resolve the proxy address, or any other addresses
that you give it, then you have an underlying problem with your system.
Check that you have the correct nameserver(s) listed in
/etc/resolv.conf.

Just a few things to help people into the GNOME world that I have
learned through painful acquisition.  I could not get the rpm packages
to see my self-compiled copies of gtk/glib which meant I had to apply
the rpms for the self-same libs.  Not a big deal; but when I use the
rpm's compiling programs gets difficult for some reason.  I reinstalled
the glib/gtk I built after installing GNOME and all works well.  If you
have are gonna build GNOME aware apps, might as well grab the devel
libs.  Almost every application will ask for a file or two which is in
them.  Many of the applications you download from the developer's site
will search for the gnome libs and includes in spots that the rpms do
not place them.  Run the configure --help and see the switches that one
can use to redirect this to the right place. =20

Now for just a few really cool applications hints :)  I just compiled
the Gnotepad and this is a lot more than what the name implies.  It is
a quite well built multi-faceted editor which compiles without any
problem as long as you have the libpng-devel and probably the
gnome-libs-devel installed.  On the other end of the spectrum was balsa
for me.  Balsa took me to new plateaus of compiling agony as I
basically had to get every devel lib before it would build.  Thats why
I say, go ahead and grab the devel stuff.

Another group of neat applications are the games.  There is a card game
which has about 12 components which I really love.  The yahtzee game is
kinda cool and quirky.  As its your turn; the computer calls out, "OK
human, your turn".  I like that.  The gnome-wide configuration tools
are pretty well done also.I plan on trying gnumeric today. That is the
spreadsheet built for the those needing to number crunch.  I also
really like x-chat which is a really, really decent irc client.  It is
quite robust and should be for its development.  Others that are nice
is the rather low key guiTAR which does archive management.

As a second attraction with running WindowMaker, I have been quite
taken with dock applications.  I have found a cd player, a great clock,
and a system load program all running at start time on the windowmaker
dock.  These are really great programs and emphasizes the power of
these window managers.  Now I see when people said, "WindowMaker is
cool; you just gotta see a desktop running themes", what in heck they
meant.

Hello

I run SuSE 5.3. I just installed HylaFax and SuSE Fax, and I noticed that I
could no longer dial-up using wvdial and the like---it tells me that I don't
have permission all of a sudden. (I can dial as root!)  For some reason thoug=
h,
I can still use Kppp to dial-up (as non-root).  My /dev/modem is linked to
/dev/ttyS1 which has the following permissions:

crw-------   1 uucp     uucp       4,  65 Mar  4 13:32 ./ttyS1

If I change these, they are almost immediately changed back by magic (thank g=
od
for SuSE's quite thoughtful idiot proofing).  Also, was this always uucp.uucp=
?=20
Anyway, I am not sure what changed with the installation of HylaFax and SuSE
Fax, but if it is connected, I also noticed that when I hit "get status" in
SuSEFax, it tells me it is waiting for the modem to become ready.  What's
that?!=20

TIA,

chris

Well I bet you the winmodem is the problem. I would remove it, and try again.
I had a winmodem once, and it locked up all my serial ports. Remove it.

If you use a ps2 mouse on irq12, you should have no problem there.
The serial ports in your bios are what I was talking about.  Make sure that
you don't assign them an irq that your internal modem needs.

If I was you, I would pull the winmodem out, and put your 56k internal
on com1. Then you would have a working v90 modem for both windows and
linux on com1. Remember to change /etc/isapnp.conf for the 56k.
Didn't the winmodem give you a crazy listing in /etc/isapnp.conf?

You did try to edit your isapnp.conf file didn't you?

Sell that winmodem to some windows newbie. :-)

I believe it originated with "teletype", which were the old terminals
back in "the olden times".
A teletype was a typewriter with a keyboard, an was the input-output
device back then. You were lucky to get 2400 baudrate with them.

The name just has carried on.

Now there is also ttyS* which stands for serial input output.

Go to Netscape's website and download the full version of 4.5
which includes Messenger. Most people don't use Messenger
so the standard distribution only contains Navigator and
Communicator (for mail).  Messenger is some sort of ICQ
type of IRC thing, I believe.

Well an internal also produces more heat inside the case.
It takes up a slot, which reduces airflow.
It consumes power from the pc power supply, which can
be significant in a system packed with hardrives and ram.
It may be a small factor, but any phone line surge is brought into
your pc case with an internal, a factor in you surviving a lightening
strike.

Same here.=20
I would like to remind all 4.5 users to go into
Navigator/Applications  and change the default=20
behavior for " * " from  "default plugin" to "prompt user".
It prevents buffer overflow attacks.

The first thing I would do is start yast, and reinstall your mouse.
You probably have it listed as /dev/cua1 and the 2.2.0 kernels
want it on /dev/ttyS1

The perl script returns the following:

"Engine replied: SQL: -329: Database not found or no system permission.

It seems this is comming from the lines in the perl script:

my $dbh=3DDBI->connect('dbi:Informix:stores', '', '');
if ($DBI::err)
{
    print "Engine replied: $DBI::errstr\n";
    exit;
}

I am running the "dbaccessdemo7 stores",  and I have the following
environment variables set:

bash-2.02# env | grep INFO

When I actually go into dbaccess and connect to that database I see it
called "stores7(a)demo_se".  I tried replacing "stores" with that in the
script and got exactly the same result.

Sinice I am a complete newbie to perl, DBI, DBD, and for the most part
Informix, I am very lost.  Could someone please give me a point in the
right direction.  How do I define/access my data source?

TIA,

Btw, any particular info on what to install first?  (ala, like similiar

I've been running WindowMaker for the past few weeks after using KDEfor a
few months and I've been very pleased by the lower memory foot-
print and themes, etc.   My 6-year old son likes the ability to swap over
to his Spider-man desktop without effort. ;)  Btw, how do you like guiTAR?

Thanks to everyone for advice.  Sadly, nothing worked, so there must
be some flaw in my configuration.  Since mail service via Netscape is
not essential, I'm just going to forget the whole thing.  In every

Actually, I found the SuSE 6 rpms at http://gnome.linuxbe.org/>.
These are 1.0.1 rpms for gnome.

I downloaded all the rpms into a directory, went to a console and typed
rpm -Uvh *rpm and let it fly.  I got a lot of dependency issues with
glib/gtk with that one.  I resolved them and did it again and it took.

No problem.

Basically, the solution was to sent e-mail requesting a registration
number (if it wasn't included with the book) to SuSE. I did so, but
haven't received a reply.

I'm still wondering how the registration number will make installation
possible. In my case, the "next" button (to be used after the
registration number is inserted) is "blanked out." I'd be surprised if
it will blank itself on again once the correct number is inserted.

Hi,
    I've a problem: it seems that my 33600 modem actually works at 9600 when
connecting from Linux... I've tried the 'query modem' function in kppp both
on /dev/modem and on /dev/cue0, and both are correctly recognized at 33600,
but then the connection monitor signs only 9600... Is there a config file
somewhere which causes such a strange behaviour? Thanks,
    Germano
P.S.: Ah, yes, I'm using KDE 1.0 on SuSE 6.0, kernel 2.2.2 and a normal
33600 pnp rockwell modem

hello,

I just checked my log messages and sure enough my password was easily
readable.  I was only able to read it as root, but that's still a
problem.

Can't say for sure, I can only offer a guess.
Do a cat /proc/scsi  and see if your atapi cdrom is
listed. Then use that scsi bus number and scsi id
in the cdrecord command line.

My copy of cdrecord from suse6 didn't work right out of the box.
Others have experienced this and claim it can be fixed by recompiling
it yourself. I'm currently out of town, so I can't try it.

This is the reason, why /var/log/messages should not be readable by anyone
else than root :) This is a feature. But I am not sure, if you can disable
this, I am sure you can reduce the verbosity level of pppd somehow.

I'm probably getting confused between Messenger and "AOL Instant Messenger".
I was under the impression that AOL Instant Messenger was like ICQ.

I've noticed it, too. Since the password cannot be sent encrypted (your ISP
should know your encryption key) and since pppd messages are written by defau=
lt
on /var/log/messages, I am not surprised about that. I don't think there are
any problem as long as you don't change the permissions of the /var/log/messa=
ges
file which is 640.

Hello List,

Well, after playing around with a copy of SuSE 5.2 I got from a PC Magazine
for a few weeks, I have gone out and purchased SuSE 6.0 from 'The Linux
Emporium' on (UK) 01491 837010 on Friday. It came Saturday morning. Great
service.

Anyway, before I put the new version on, are there any pitfalls I should be
aware of before I start. I understand that this version ships with kernel
.36, and I will have to upgrade to 2.2 after.

Should I totally remove 5.2, and format before putting on 6.0, or does the
upgrade work fine.

How complicated is it to upgrade to the newer kernel?, what does it offer? I
have not even tried to add sound to my 5.2 setup, because it looks quite
complicated. I only have 750 Megs to play with for Linux, is this enough for
a running system (100 Meg also for swap space)

What are the CAD programs like on the CD's, are they any good?

Thanks

Tim Delbaere

I just checked my /var/log/messages file and saw the connection dialog
but NO password was shown.

The best way, (and most time consuming way) is probably to select the
minimal installation, and then change/create configuration and de-select
everything uneeded (such as applixware). I find the pre-made
configurations to be slightly off at what their purposes are, so you
might want to go through everything and see if there is stuff that hasnt
been checked (such as sudo maybe?) that you might find necesary, even for=20
a minimum install.

Did you try putting a "setserial" command in your boot.local file?
Look at man setserial, and set your com port to spd_vhi.
I had to do that with 5.3.
Suse6 seems to work fine without it.

I haven't had any problems with my celeron 300a.
Although I bought an extra fan a good one and overclocked it to 450.
I ran some stress tests and it works great.
I've also run suse 5.3 on a 486 it was slow as a frozen sloth but it
worked.
I even ran kde with it.

Dear all,

When you cant see any icons when a data directory is listed from http
(via a browser), example see: http://cgmd71233.chello.nl/data=
/>. You need
to change the authorization on the directory: /usr/local/httpd/icons to
chmod 655 icons than it'll work.

Hey, Hi
Same problem, My external BEST MODEM (56K) reports that the carrier is 4800
oh, Suse 5.3 (2.?.?) and I've tried the same things the person below has...
KDE 1.0 also (Cool GUI !)
this seems strange, glad someone else has this problem, oh, I figure by
timing a FTP
I have roughly a 36K connection (by rough timing)

Many have overwritten, many have upgraded.  I chose the upgrade route
and it went fine.  Libc6 is part of the new version, but I did make sure
that I had selected the old libc5 libraries to be installed so I could
run the old programs as well.  I did not install the 2.2 kernel.  I plan
to wait until SuSE's superb engineering staff works all the bugs out and
integrates it in the next release.  I had only 137MB (16%) of disk space
left on my hda.  After the install only 3% was left.  So I copied the
/opt to a partition on my new 6.4GB drive, /c3/opt, deleted /opt, and
put in a link to /c3/opt on hda. I now have 13 0.000000ree on hda.=20
Nice release!

Hmm, it seems when i hit cntr-alt delete at the console to shut down, my
screen goes completely nuts. displays all kinds of garbage until the
shutdown is complete. Im not sure if its the video driver or what, because
it happens in the console even if i havent run x at all.

i have a diamond stealth II s220, and a Sony Trinitron CPD-1304 monitor
(not supported so i use the CPD-1430 instead)

Any suggestions?

Hi,

Yesterday I installed SuSE Linux 6.0. Everything is OK, except=20
networking. Apparently I have a DNS problem -- Netscape can not=20
resolve host names. If I telnet to my work mashine and use name=20
(like: woodward.chem.orst.edu) it will not work either but if I type in=20
128. 128. .. (bla - bla) I  get connected OK. The same tactics work=20
inside Netscape.

Is there any way to correct this problem without reinstalling Linux?
(I used wvdial to set up PPP)

Thank you,

Fedor

Dear all,

When you cant see any icons when a data directory is listed from http
(via a browser), example see: http://cgmd71233.chello.nl/data=
/>. You need
to change the authorization on the directory: /usr/local/httpd/icons to
chmod a+w icons than it'll work.

Check the /etc/host.conf file. It should read:

multi on

OK, i know this is not the "supported" kernel,. but the results i got
are tooo weird.

1 - i have no scsi devices. I guess my computer really wanted one, so it
reads my windows partition as /dev/sda1. Makes mounting  the partition
really interesting.

2 - Lilo is only happy after i've run it 3 times under 2.2.0_pre7.  It's
like the holy hand grenade in Monty Python... "and the counting of the
running shall be three".

3 - Here's a cute thing: there's apparently a database of vendor numbers
with the corresponding companies. The vendor of my modem is listed in
there; in the pci devices list, the vendor # is given, but comes up as
unknown vendor. i thought computers were good for analyzing info.

Do I have to write the code to tell the machine to look in the database
& compare notes with it, so that the machine might understand what it
has??

It's a hacker kernel. Just thought some of the endearing features it
displays on a relatively new machine (K6-2, 64M RAM, 4M video, etc),
might amuse/dismay other SuSe-ites.

Hi,
I'm a first time user of SuSE.

YAST says it installed egcs.

Tried compiling a project (not mine) and apparently egcs could not be found.
Look in /etc/sbin not there.
First time I ever tried compiling anything on a Linux box, but I had been war=
ned to expect the unexpected!

QUESTION 1
What happened to egcs?

Disinstalled egcs.

put in 'front end' to gcc

change Makefile to CC=3Dgcc

project (not mine!) Compiled OK.

But only ONCE!

Next try, after minor mods compiler gives error saying missing mysql.h refere=
nced by one of the project's includes

QUESTION 2
Is it possible that the gcc compile process somehow 'loses' track of an inclu=
de=20

Both probably dumb questions, but we all start with those

Hi, I just installed Red Hat 5.2 on my machine and I'm having problems with
the x-windows configuration. I have an AGP Viper 550 16Mb graphics card
which is not supported. I was thinking about installing the latest xfree86
but I don't know how to install it. Do you know where I could find
documentation about this.
Also, I went at www.xfree86.org and I tried to download the latest xfree86
from their ftp server, which xfree86 should I download??? I saw a FreeBSD
version a LinuxOS version but I didn't see a Red hat version.

One last thing, I downloaded the latest kernel and I would like to install
it. Could you point me to some documentation on how to do this.

Thanks in advance

It is my understanding that the "front end" will call the old gcc
instead of egcs. Remove the "front end".

[Getting the right parameters set for a network card module]
One thing that has always worked for me is 'autoload modules'. I guess
it does some kind of modprobe, 'cause I've never had to give any
arguments for it to detect my network cards...

Hi,=20

While trying to install a minimal system I selected in yast:=20
load configuration and then=20
minimum system (59-73M)
But when I go on I get lots of unneeded stuff, including the
Applixware demo with 67MB!

Is there a better way to find out what is minimal?

Irq4 is usually shared with com1, which is most
people's serial mouse irq on com1.
Where's your mouse?

I heard that the the latest kernel has better AGP support!
Is this true?Has anyone run this card with latest kernel.
If this is true would adding the new kernel  fix any of the problems with

Yep, the whole idea of the front end is to call gcc, because, although YAST i=
ndicates egcs as installed it doesn't show up when I do a 'make'

I just bought an external modem today - a Diamond SupraExpress 56e. I
set it up easily under windows and it works great. But the reason I
bought it is because of Linux. I don't know what I'm doing wrong but I
just can't get a connection. I used Minicom to set it up. The modem is
connected to COM1 so I set the serial port to /dev/ttyS0. Next, I
configured option E (Baud/Par/Bits) to match the modem's settings. The
connection speed was set to 115200bps, parity and data bit were set to
'none' (option J) and 8 stop bits. I saved the setup as dfl. So far for
the setup.

When I tested the modem, I didn't get the 'OK' prompt. The text in the
right lower corner says 'Offline' and nothing changes that. I tried some
options in the menu but nothing works. Can anyone please help me out
here? I'd really appreciate it.

Are there any users of the Imation "Smart Drive," who are using the
encryption feature under Linux.

I originally held back as I was told a zip drive was a better choice.
After learning that the LS-120 has dual capabilities(ls-120 & floppies)
I think it will be a good choice for me. I am curious as to whether
there are any, or many hurdles in getting one working fully under Linux.

I have plans for my current floppy drive and the LS-120 seems a very
nice alternative.

Thanks,

Bob Russell

OK... MAJOR linux time!

Myself and the technician for a school in Northumberland, UK, are thinking
of dumping our OS/2 network server in favour of Linux.

How easy is it to make a set of standalone Win95 workstations log on to the
linux server as a domain, say 'susesnet', like we currently use 'rmnet', and
then automagically give them access permissions to their folder only, say
for example user 'STUDENT0004' has a folder on the server called
N:\student0004.  They also have access to the folders which have the
applications in to launch them.  But they don't have access to the admin
folder, or other users.

Basically, what I'm asking is - is it possible to make our linux server
appear in Network Neighborhood after a user has logged on?  Or is there a
way to allow user STUDENT0004 to access a PATH of //susenet/student0004,
like we currently use shares?

Bottom line:  How easy is it to make Suse and Samba act as a fileserver for
600 kids?

At this very moment I'm writing a CD on an ATAPI CDROM, the Phillips 26A
OmniWriter.  I set up the kernel with SCSI emulation, which seems to be all
that's needed.  I'm also using cdrecord, version 1.8a18.   You can find out
what SCSI (or simulated SCSI) devices cdrecord knows about by issuing the
command

    cdrecord -scanbus

However, be warned: there's a nasty error in the man page about the SCSI ID.
The number yielded by scanbus is claimed to be:

     100*scsibus+10*target+lun

But in fact it seems to be

     100*scsibus+10*lun+target

You can check all this out by using the -inq option.

One of the best animation programs in the business - Blender.  Developed
by a professional animation studio in the Netherlands.  Written in C++
and is blazing fast.  I've seen parts of 20 minute movies made with it.=20
Amazing.  It's free to folks using Linux.  The manual, which is an
object de' art, is $50.  Well worth it.

> AutoCAD

Several packages here.  One is Varkon, from a Finnish firm.  Free to
Linux users, otherwise it's $795 per seat.  It is programmable,
vectored, 3-D, animated, or you can do simple flat 2-D.

> LightScape
> Photoshop
> Corel Draw & PhotoPaint,...

A single package, GIMP 1.0, which is free, will match or exceed all of
these.

The only way I got it to work here was by making sure that my local address
and host name was the first one in the server lookup.  Had to do it through
yast, but list your local name first and your address first.

With all the talk of Gnome 1.01 (or is it just 1.0), I am curious as to what
really is required to get it working under a newly installed copy of SuSE 6.0=
=20
Basically are there libraries (or other apps) that are required that happen to
be newer than that included with SuSE 6.0?

Ecerything is wonderful, and I've pretty well pounded my new laptop during
the last two weeks, but I have this one nagging netscape question . . .

How do I resize the netscape window? I seem to have two choices -
full-screen, or about 600f the screen -- which isn't quite wide enough to
show the 'stop' icon. This is under windowmaker 0.51 and fvwm2 both.

TIA

How about checking to make sure you have user permissions for the modem, eith=
er
for /dev/modem or for /dev/ttyS0 or both.  Changing your user to the "dialout"
group also seems to solve the permissions problem for /dev/modem.  But if the
symbolic link is not done from that to the appropriate tty, changing the user
to "dialout" won't change the problem.

Since I been talking that gnome talk, let me say that if you journey to
www.gnome.org and go to the suse side of things, you can find
everything.  The basic approach is to download all the rpms into a
directory, run rpm -Uvh *rpm and then sit back and watch the fun :)=20
You will be sure to see a few unresolved dependencies.  Do not use
yast for this; the web site warns that yast creates false dependency
reports.  The command line rpm program works the best.  Also note that
I have had to install most if not all the devel packages to compile
things that run in gnome/gtk.

Hope this helps.

And reinstall egcs.  egcs installs links si that when you call "gcc" it
actually calls egcs.  If you want to call the old gcc, use the switch
-V2.7.2.3.

Hi,
I was getting the same message but was unable to determine the module
it referred to.  I solved it(not the way I wanted to) by removing the auto
load modules when I recompiled the kernel.  Of course I had to compile
everything in rather than modularize :-(. Every thing seemed to work fine
for me too with the messages.  My uneducated guess is that it has
something to do with the kerneld replacement? Maybe something in the =20
boot script sequence is pointing at a reference to pre 2.2.x. Any
thoughts?

I'll let the wonderful folks at SuSE know this.  I agree, I'd use

I just used what was there.  I don't remember all the details of the
installation, but I don't think that was my idea. I modified the DBPATH to
/usr/lib/informix and there is DATA!  Thanks.

You compiled serial support directly into the kernel instead of as a
module (this is a 2.2 default).  You can turn off the annoying "cannot
find" message by finding a line in /etc/conf.modules which looks like:

alias	char-major-4	serial

and changing "serial" to "off" like so:

alias	char-major-4	off

This will keep modprobe from looking for serial as a module.  I had the
same problem, and found it quite alarming .

TWIMC.
  In case anyone remembers, a while back I was kicking rocks about my
system not running stable with 5.3, after a few days the harddrive light
would light up and stay lit and then a few days later the system would
just kinda lock up forcing a reboot.
  Anyway, I yanked my drive out (which contains Slackware) and put in my
other drive which I have installed 6.0 on with kernel 2.2.0 I will let
anyone interested know my results as soon as I do. Wish me luck.

  Ya know, that serial.o module was causing me a ration of errors upon
bootup, I finally just turned it off in conf.modules to get rid of it
until I can correctly get around to finding the reason why it was

Subject: [SuSE Linux] init SIGPWR differences between SuSE 5.3 and 6.0

I just got SuSE 6.0 delivered today and have my primary 5.3 workstation
upgraded. The upgrade went very smooth for the most part although I did
have one problem. I run my system connected to an APC Back-UPS 650 and
for the last few months I've have had the "backupsd" program from the
UPS-HOWTO monitoring my UPS so my system can be shutdown unattended in
the event of a prolonged power outage.=20

I expected problems with some of the custom stuff I have since it's all
been built against libc 5. No big deal I'll just recompile. What I
discovered is that the old version of init expected the "powerstatus"
file to reside in "/etc/powerstatus". The new updated man page for init
included in 6.0 says that init looks at "/etc/powerstatus" as well. What
I found out is that this is not true. The init program included in 6.0
expects the powerstatus file to reside in "/var/run/powerstatus"
instead. I used the "strings" utility on the init file to see what file
name was embedded in the executable.

  I had the same problem, its related to the serial.o module, I added
the off flag to the char-major-4 line in conf.modules and when restarted
it nolonger reports that error.

edit your conf.modules file and change the appropriate line from
    alias char-major-4        serial
to the following
    alias char-major-4        off
which is part of the serial.o module which isn't compiled into your
kernel and thus is giving you the problems.

  This may sound weird, but did you happen to hit the replace button so
that it will replace the current configuration with the default your
trying to select? The default configuration consists of minimal as well
as another which total around 400+MB.

from /etc/conf.modules (which is still used by 2.2):
   alias char-major-4        serial

So you either don't have a serial module, the kernel (kernel thread
'kmod') can't find it, or you don't have that line in /etc/conf.modules.

FYI: what does char-major-4 mean:
look at /dev/ttyS0 (the COM1: under DOS)
  crw-rw----   1 root     uucp       4,  64 Dec 11 18:20 /dev/ttyS0
the 'c' at the beginning of the line marks this a 'character' device (as
opposed to 'block' (b) devices, like your dev-entry for the
harddisk and partitions). the first number is a 4, the major number,
ttyS0 (first serial interface) has the minor number 64. ttyS1 has 65.
That's how these module names are derived. Also see 'man mknod'.

My SuSE 6.0 already had all the entries one might possibly need in
conf.modules. To switch a module off use:
  alias char-major-4  off

No, it won't. The kernel is not the problem, the X-Server is...
Using another kernel won't fix the SiS-driver.

You must be talking about the "Creative Labs 3D Blaster Banshee". You
won't be able to configure it unsing SaX, since this card is not supported
by XFree (yet). Have a look at Daryll's pages
at "http://glide.xxedgexx.com/>" for a driver.

I don't know much about Red Hat, but I assume, they also have an update of
the SVGA X-Server on their ftp-Server. Just upgrade the respectve RPM,
that should be it.

Red Hat is Linux, not vice versa. :)
You need the glibc-binaries for Linux, if you use the XFree86 original
archives.

There is a Kernel-HOWTO in the Linux Documentation Project:

Hi,
    thanks for everyone answering... alas, nothing worked!
    However, I noticed that kppp, in order to connect, gives the command
'connect 9600', which is probably the cause of the speed... Do you know if
the given commands are taken by some scripts, in order to modify it?
    Thank you again,

AFAIK, this is not possible with the current package. Have a look at the
init-script at /sbin/init.d/dhclient, maybe you can tweak it to work this
way. And yes, we are working on a solution. I've already forwarded your
message to the package maintainer.

No, seriously, we expect the german version to ship at the end of this

KDE 1.1 will be included, as well.

The Samba documentation explains this in depth, especially "Win95.txt"
under /usr/doc/packages/samba.

Yes, sure it is.

600 concurrent users or all together? If the machine is fast enough, that
shouldn't be a problem. It might be a bit tedious to add all the
accounts...=20

Whoops, that shouldn't happen. Did you look for error messages on console
3 and 4? (Use ALT+F3 to switch to console 3, for example)

That should be enough. I assume, you have a broken CD-ROM or some kind of
hardware problem. Please look for kernel error messages.

> Is there someone out there that can help me?????

If you see error messages, please post them to this list. I am sure,
someone will give you a hand.

I'm going to ask this again and I apologize if I missed the answer the first
time but I've just upgrade to 6.0 and have been messing quite a bit with my
system.

Are there instructions on the SuSE website for doing the kernel upgrade?  I've
been looking for them without success.  I did the 6.0 upgrade yesterday but k=
ept
the 2.0.36 kernel.  Feeling flush (foolish???) with success I'd like to give =
the
kernel upgrade a go.

I use the good old traditional fvwm2, it works *very nicely*.  KDE in my
opinion, is like going back to all the crap GUI principles given to us by
Micro$oft.  It's incredibly slow in addition.  Besides which, who needs a
'desktop' when you have tkDesktop File Manager if you like that sort of
thing - a real UN*X application that gives you back a little of the power of
established command-line tools, not some attempt to copy M$.

i740 Cards are supported by the xi740 package. Have you tried to use the

I finally got my Diamond A50 which uses the infamous sis6326 chip
in the xf86config I used the standard sis6326 driver 5?? something , them
manually changed /etc/XF86Config around lines 507 un commenting and editing
the following=20

vidioram 8192 //un comment and edit=20
no_accell     // un comment
no_linear     // was not there , added this in.

Then starx --bpp 16
to start in 16 bpp mode. This gives a nice workable setup with readable
menus and white widows with readable letters and background.

there is also a setting "sw_cursor" I did not use this , as the above got
it working.Hope this helps some of you out there with this notois chip

S.u.S.E. Linux 5.3 was libc5, but was capable of executing glibc2
binaries. You might be lucky... Give it a try.

What I did to get 2.2.2 running:
- started with a plain SuSE 6.0
- configure (make config), compile, install, run lilo
- changed two lines in /etc/conf.modules:
    one for af_packet (was: af_package), for tcpdump to work
    the other one for the sound card (which wasn't supported by 2.0)
- deleted entries for routes from /etc/route.conf, because 2.2 sets up
  routes automagically (for the networks directly on an interface)
  (doesn't hurt if you don't do this, you just have two entries insetad of
  one for (some, depends on configuration) routes
- reboot

Some minor stuff might not work afterwards, like kpm (KDE graphical
'top').

You can find the ssh rpm in the CD and install it with YAST
but I don't know if it is the bugged version or not.

It is not included on the international CD's, but you can get it from one
of our non-US mirrors:

I know this is documented on the SUSE  site, but would I be missing a lot of
SW if I just got the Suse snapshot CD and used that Suse 6.0 version?  It is
cheaper then the full install (I already have 5.3, so I do not need a
manual) and seems to contain more ftp mirrors.

The SW that is listed as being only on the suse 6.0 CD, are these
duplicates?  i.e can I do a full install without them and still have a
working system?

You can run precompiled glibc2 binaries, but you cannot compile them on
5.3.

Title: different kernels


Hi there,

how manage different kernels? I actually work on 2.0.35 (S=
use 5.3).

How can I test zB 2.2.1? How can I make point to the new c=
ompiled kernel

with the usual sequence of make(s)?

Do I need a different boot disk?

Thank you,



Stefano

One thing that nearly always works is to start netscape using strace=20

And reinstall egcs.  egcs installs links si that when you call "gcc" it
actually calls egcs.  If you want to call the old gcc, use the switch
-V2.7.2.3.

This is fantastic news.  I really like the SuSE distribution.  I use Road
Runner as an ISP so I am in the same situation with multple interfaces
because I do IP Masquerading.  As SuSE ships now, I can only use it on my
client machines.

I think Yast would be much more powerful if it would read in the existing
system configuration as Linuxconf does.  This would eliminate these out of
the box configuration issues.

Will SuSE ever ship with Linuxconf?

opps , left out some info , xfree86 3.3.3(comes with suse 6.0) and used the
SVGS server , ans suse 6.0

>>>>
I finally got my Diamond A50 which uses the infamous sis6326 chip
in the xf86config I used the standard sis6326 driver 5?? something , them
manually changed /etc/XF86Config around lines 507 un commenting and editing
the following=20

vidioram 8192 //un comment and edit=20
no_accell     // un comment
no_linear     // was not there , added this in.

Then starx --bpp 16
to start in 16 bpp mode. This gives a nice workable setup with readable
menus and white widows with readable letters and background.

there is also a setting "sw_cursor" I did not use this , as the above got
it working.Hope this helps some of you out there with this notois chip

Is it possible that you have your modem NVRAM configured for 9600 somehow
and your kppp is only giving ATZ as an init string?

You won't have all the software packages at your disposal.
The snapshots, like those from cheapbytes.com, give you a
basic linux system. But you could go to an ftp site and get any
packages you might have need for.

You will get a working system, but things like xv, sane, Image Magik,
sound packages, etc, may not be on the snapshot you get.

The upgrade instructions are in the documentation section of the
2.2.* source code package.
The upgrade goes pretty smoothly, just like compiling any other kernel.
You could save time by checking the mailing list archive, and=20
reading all the recent kernel questions.

Basically:
1. You need egcs to compile the 2.2.* kernal, so remove
package "gcc front" if you installed it.
2. dev/lp0 and /dev/lp1 get their irq's switched around from the
2.036 kernel. This can cause conflicts with previously setup=20
soundcards. Just check your irqs.
3. You may get errors about "char major 14" etc. Just go into
/etc/conf.modules and turn them off.

You just need to put the parameters in /etc/conf.modules.
------------------------------------------------------
conf.modules entry:
--------------------------------------------------------
alias char-major-14       sound
alias sound               sb
options sb  io=3D0x220 irq=3D5  dma=3D1 dma16=3D5 mpu_io=3D0x330

Then you should be able to turn sound on with
modprobe sb

or if you have an awe add:

insmod awe_wave

Also soundon should work with OSS

I used to have that problem when I had a 640x480 monitor.
I remember you need to resize from the top, which was hard to
do because it hugged the top edge of the screen.

I remember holding   togther then hitting the
down arrow, and it would move the top of the netscape
down , then you could use the mouse to resize top line
down, then drag the whole screen back up until you could see
the stop button.=20

Do you have a ps2 mouse? If not where is your mouse?
Also, in your bios setup for serial ports, do you have your
motherboard's first serial port set to 3f8 and irq4?

Also make sure you second serial port dosn't conflict with it.

Also, make sure no winmodems are in your machine.=20

Welllll.... GEE. If you're gonna be that way....   `*8 > =20

Baud only accurately refers to Mark/Space shifts up to 1200. Anything above
that is not baud anymore. It's bits per second based on phase modulation of
the analog wave.

Whew. Glad I got that off my mind. Thanks for the ... uh... inspiration.

You seem to think you are compiling a 2.2.2 kernel but you are
in your 2.035 src directory. You have this all messed up.
First, under suse5.3 you need to have a whole bunch of package
upgrades to get the 2.2.2 kernel to compile.
Second, put the 2.2.2 kernel in a different directory.
Put the tgz package in /usr/src and unpack it.
That should give you /usr/src/linux2.2.2,
then do your make menuconfig in that directory.

Yes, all of these check out.=20

Since printing is still possible under superuser, unless I can think of
a solution, I'll put this problem to bed and wait for SuSE 6.1 -- or a
message from the support people.

Upgrading via the CD-ROM generally gets rid of problems I've had
compiling new kernels, libraries, and the like . . .

Please reinstall the kernel source from scratch then try 'make dep clean

I'm on my way home from work to install a TeleS 16c ISDN card on my home
computer. And I recall that the setup for ISDN cards (ion YaST) asked
for an IP address, which I don't have. Do I have to set up DHCP before
inserting my TeleS card?

I'm going to make a small network between my two computers at home. I
don't have any static IP addresses, but I'm also not connected to any
external network. That is true only part of the time though, so I wonder
how do I set up my two computers so that the dial up ip address doesn't
interfere with my local address.

Both boxes runs SuSE 6.0.

What are you able to run with your card?

We'll it is working much better thanks to tips I received from the mail
list. Thank you!
The problem is I can't run x any better than 800 x 600 16bp. This would
drive me nuts if i didn't have 17inch monitor.
I set my video card up via sax and if I set my memory any higher than 4mb
 the cursor is white square
and text/fonts go away. I used the sw_cursor and no_bitblt options and
this fixed that in 800 x 600 16bp=20
but not in 1024 x 768 16bp.  I use the svga server because the xfcom_sis
was added to it.  RamDac 175.
I don't know if it matters but the video is onboard.
Any info helpful.
Thanks again again again
Ian

Hi,

I don't want to start a 'Bandwidth wasting desktop holy war', but for
many users customizing their work environment by editting fvwm
configuration files is just not friendly enough.

If Linux is to become a replacement for Windoze, the man in the
street who does not know (and does not want to know) 'vi' or 'ed' or
other noble UNIX editors will want something like KDE.

I agree that the GUI _implementation_ of M$ is not very successfull ,
(actually, not _just_ the GUI implementation) but provided drag and drop and
other GUI stuff really works (like in KDE, for example) it is very useful
and user friendly.

KDE may not be as fast as fvwm, but it comes with an integrated set of
tools (which is expanding weekly) and is easy to configurate. And speed is
relative of course, I use a 233MHZ/64MB box and am quite happy with KDE 1.1.

Anyway, it's all a matter of taste and opinion. Here at work I am forced to u=
se
OpenLook with a lot of shell tool stuff, and I get by :).

Peace and Linux,

Martijn

Subject: [SuSE Linux] SuSE 5.3 and Kernel 2.2.2? compiling still stops ...




        Hi all again !

        I have SuSE 5.3 in my system with kernel 2.0.36, and I've got kernel
2.2.2, after ungziped the file in /usr/src/linux (linux-2.0.35.SuSE), do
make menuconfig and start compiling with  :

        make dep clean zImage modules modules_install

the compilation stops and shows me this message:

Per thanks for the detials. It is now working under tar using /dev/ht0.

Does Tar compress files?? and can you tell it to restore filed to a
diffrent directory ??

Man tar came up as no entry avialable.

Wasn=C5=BDt it the otherway round? As far as I remember, you needed gcc to
compile the kernel. Or did you *definately* need gcc for the 2.0.x
series only?

curiously ...

I too would like to know what you're doing to get the SiS 6326 to work
well.  I was a big proponent of using the Sci-Tech Display Doctor XServer,
but it stopped working after about 3 weeks.  No matter if I uninstall the
RPM and reinstall it, I get the license has expired.  So, now, i'm stuck
running with the VGA16 server or else all my text disappears with the SVGA
Server.  Even on the SuSe site, they say that the Xserver will probably
have to be run with the VGA16 server.  Any suggestions would be most
appreciated in getting my SVGA XServer to work.

I have almost the same situation here in my home, excpet I run Winblows on
one machine.  You do have static IP address for your computers, they range
in the subnet of 192.168.1.*  There are others as well.  Those addresses
are not found anywhere on the internet.  Just give each computer an address
in that range, preferably not the same one, and your set.  As for sharing
dial-ip, use IP Masquerading to give both computers internet access.  The
How-To's explain it quite well, there are some web pages as well.
Hope this helps a little

Read the IP Masquerading and the Diald HOWTOs - they describe your situation
exactly (or look up those topics in the SuSE manual).

Hi, Stefano!
    another italian, I suppose? Well, this is my experience: just compile
the new kernel, then copy the directory /boot in another, i.e. /boot2. After
this, overwrite the /boot2/vmlinuz file with the compiled one (you can find
it in /arch/i386/boot, it is the file zImage: write

cp /arch/i386/boot/zImage /boot2/vmlinuz

    after this, copy the file /System.map in /boot2:

cp /System.map /boot2/

    of course, I suppose you have already give make modules and make
modules_install. Now, edit the file /etc/lilo.config, and copy the
uncommented lines that refers to your actual kernel boot, adapting them. For
example, I had:

image =3D /boot/vmlinuz
root =3D /dev/hda2
label =3D lin

 and so I added the lines:

image =3D /boot2/vmlinuz
root =3D /dev/hda2
label =3D linnew

 finally, save it and call lilo (as a command). Now, when you start the
machine, writing linnew you'll boot the new kernel, while writing lin the
old
one. Satisfied :)?

This subject has been already discussed on this list, but...
I can access my msdos partition only as root, even if in the fstab there is a
line like this:
/dev/hda1  /mnt/msdos/  vfat user,noauto 0 0

where:
/dev/hda1 -> device name
/mnt/msdos -> mount point
vfat -> type of the filesistem
user,noauto -> mount options, namely:=20
        user: allow an ordinary user to mount the file system.
        noauto: prevents automatical mount of the msdos filesystem at boot

With these options I can mount the msdos filesystem but I can access it. This
sound quite strange to me and I cannot find out the reason. I mean, I can mou=
nt
and access a floppy (msdos formatted) disk as any user... should be the same
for the /dev/hdax, or not? Actually there is a difference in the permissions:
brw-rw----    1 root        disk            3,    1 gen 20 05:27 /dev/hda1
brw-rw-rw-    1 root        disk            2,    0 gen 20 05:27 /dev/fd0

Maybe I just need to change the /dev/hda1 permissions?=20
[] YES  [] NO   [] I just did it but nothing happened
Is there any reason for the above difference on the permissions?
[]YES  [] NO   []I don't care about your dos partition

Hi, all

I have a small but still annoying problem. I have a dial-up (expensive)
connection to my ISP. The ideal situation is this: I download my mail,
close the internetconnection and read through my mail (a lot!). However,
when I shut down ppp, netscape completely freezes and I'm unable to do
anything with it unless I'm "connected". Perhaps I've missed some
configuration or is it a bug?
Sure there must be a way of working offline?=20
I've just recently installed SuSE 6.0 and the netscape version is 4.5.
I haven't experienced this in earlier versions of SuSE or netscape.

TIA=09

I've just installed it and am using it right now. :-)

Basically I followed the given instructions for the SuSE RPMs on www.gnome.or=

 but
that could be just unfamiliarity. :-} It certainly looks cool. "gnome" just
appeared in the list of window managers to use in KDM too, on this machine, w=
hile
at home I had to add it manually for some reason.

Now on kernel 2.2.3 by the way. :-)

Libraries that it needs newer than are in SuSE 6.0 are basically the GTK and
Gnome stuff, which are supplied in Gnome's SuSE 6.0 rpms.

Well after whats seems weeks of trial and error,i`m now
very,very,stuck !!.
I have a fully working 2.0.37 kernel,with modules that load.
All hardware works.
However when i compile a 2.2.x kernel all works,execpt that=20
the cdrom and its filesystem fail.
I`ve tried everything,building it in,as modules etc,etc.
Done all the upgrades,although i see some of you didn`t do that.
Built the new modutils package as an rpm,which i can add and remove
at will,cause this fails with the 2.0.36/7 kernels.
cat /proc/filesystems see`s iso9660 when its built into the kernel,
there is a line for /cdrom in /etc/fstab that works for the old
kernel.
Even tried changing the actual drive,to see if i had developed a
faulty drive.(nope).still don`t work.
Changed drive from /dev/hdb to /dev/hdd to see if that helped.(no).
This was changed in hardware too of course.
If anyone has any ideas at all,please lets here them !!.
I checked out the mailing list archives on kernel.org for similar
problems,and there is some reference to this,but with kernels alot
older than this.
Everything else works fine though.
Even done a complete re-install with yast,including the 2.2.0pre7
This as you know has the iso9660 filesystem as module.
This again fails,but all other drives including floppys and ls120
drive mount no problems.

Ah!!! You need to know the magical incantation to put into the fstab entry.  =
It's
"umask=3D0".

If you want to access it over a LAN, you need even more magic:
uid=3D65534,gid=3D65534.  (It took me quite a while to guess that one.)

As they used to say in grad school: "intuitively obvious to the most casual
observer". :=3D)

then return to the begining menu,what is wrong?

Is there problem about my 17.2G eide harddisk?

Hi,

I never dealt with Atapi tape drives, only scsi...
You can try these and see if it works...
Create a link /dev/tape --> /dev/hdd
# ln -s /dev/hdd /dev/tape
then put the tape in and run:
# mt offline --> should eject the tape.
# tar -cvf /dev/tape /etc --> you should see the files scrolling on the
screen (backing up /etc directory)
# tar -tvf /dev/tape --> should list files on the tape.
To rewind:
# mt rewind

OK, I need some pointers...

1. I downloaded the updated SuSEconfig file from SuSE's website.  This thing =

a binary about 6k in size.  It showed up without an extension but on the webs=
ite
I believe it had a .gz on it.  In any case, I've tried .gz, .tz, .rpm.  I can=
't
find any way to uncompress it.

2. I downloaded the updated java.rpm.  When I try and install it I'm told that
I'm missing libXm.so.2.  I can't find this sucker anywhere!!!  I checked the
rufus site and it mentions the file as a pre-req but doesn't say where to find
it.

I have this 'umask=3D0' in my fstab file and as a user I can write, delete
and read from the vfat partition with no problem. Only 'cp' is behaving
very strangely.  Trying to copy a file from the ext2 partition to the
vfat partition generates an error as can be seen in the following
example:

        avi(a)Seahorse:~ > cp x.html /win98/
        cp: /win98/x.html: Operation not permitted

The strange thing is that the file IS copied regardless of the error
message.  Strange. =20

Has anyone else seen this?

I installed linux on my brother's computer (Celeron 450MHz). I can't
tell if it works better than with non-Celeron, but it works perfecty
fine.

In reply to the infamous question, "Forget your LINUX root password???",
the reply is:

"The best way to fix this is to start Linux in single user mode (runlevel
1).
You can do this by typing linux single at the lilo prompt. After the kernel
loads you will be left at a bash prompt logged in as root. At this point you
can change your password with the passwd command. To continue onto
multi-user
mode (run level 3) just hit 'ctrl d'. That should do it."

How can an Admin maintain 'any' security???

Yes, I get it all the time when transferring from vfat to or from ext2.
The error message actually refers to the inability to copy file ownership
and permissions.=20

I guess you are right.  Gcc is needed for the 2.0 kernels,
but the 2.2 can use either egcs or gcc.
However, I believe the 2.2 series were INTENDED to
be compiled with egcs.
I guess people with 5.3 and want the 2.2 series kernel,
can compile with gcc; but I would expect them to run
into problems.
The 2.2 series is written with libc6 in mind, so was egcs.

I'm guessing that the boot floppy dosn't recognize the fat32
partitions on /dev/hdb.  If you have partition magic,
convert your second hard drive to fat16.
=20
If I were you I would use linux to format the /dev/hdb
to ext2, before installing. Apparently win98 has done
something to the second disk which linux can't recognize.

As a minimum, you need 1 big ext2 partition, and 1 swap
partition, which is about the size of your ram.

You can boot linux off the floppy, then run
fdisk /dev/hdb

Then remove the  partitions on /dev/hdb,
then create 2 primary partitions, 1 ext2 and
1 swap. Then try installing again.

You can try to install on top of the fat16
partition, but I wouldn't recommend it.

I use netscape that way without problem, same setup, However ,I'm using
wvdial, not suseppp. Maybe wvdial releases things differently, because you
just hit , instead of ppp-off.

Hi, I use fvwm2 exclusively. I start everything in an xterm that is
not on the menu. I even have  a custom background screen
which is set by 1 line in fvwm2.rc file.

Simplicity is EASY. What complicates things are all the different=20
desktops. They are pretty, but they complicate things and
cause problems.=20
I think it would be easier for me to show a new user how to
right click on the desktop, create a new xterm, type in the program
they want, then hit  to minimize the xterm.

It never locks up.

Help

I have just received my copy of 6.0 and did a clean new install rather
than update my 5.3
I am unable to use YAST to install network devices. It sees my ethernet
card but the Network Base Configeration is white and I am unable to
configure the modem as a PPP device??
I have reinstalled 4 times using a full install (everything checked)
same result went back and installed 5.3 and it works there?
Will someone tell me what to read or where to look for the answer to
this? I know it's something I am doing wrong but am at the end of my
list of normal fowl ups for me. Please hurry I am reduced to a Windows95
box and am having withdrawal from my beloved SuSE

TIA

Everything still works with your setup, the only problem is that you cannot
execute ls.. for example, if you try to get a file which you know is there,
you will get it..

When people belong to an ftpguest group, wu-ftpd chroots to their home.
Therefore, it expects to find /bin/ls in there..

All you have to do, is copy it in every users home.. e.g.
/home/jholl/bin/ls ... Be careful, because it has to be statically linked
(=C3=A8=C3=B3=C3=A5 the one in ~ftp/bin and not /bin/ls).

If you want that to be the default for every new user in your system, then
you may find convinient to do "cp -a ~ftp/bin /etc/skel" and put 'users' in
your ftpguest group..  :)

Best regards,
Sotiris.

By physically securing your machine.  Somebody else may point out lilo
passwords and BIOS passwords, also.

I believe it will copy the file, but be unable to set permissions as
needed once there. I get this running Midnight Commander. Copies the file,
but gives me an error on resetting the permissions.

Actually I tried to put umask=3D000 to the fstab with no success. I just put =
it
again into my fstab which looks like:

/dev/hda1       /mnt/msdos      vfat            noauto,user,umask=3D0  0  0

# mount /mnt/msdos
# mount
#/dev/hda1 on /mnt/msdos type vfat (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,umask=3D0)
# ls /mnt/msdos
# ls: /mnt/msdos: Permission denied

Can  you send me a copy of your fstab or write down the line I'm interested t=
o?

TIA

OK, I think I found the problem but not the complete solution.
I noticed that I ended up with two libc.so.6's. One in /lib and one in=20
 /usr/i486-linux-libc6/lib, and the one getting used was the one in=20
  /usr/i486-linux-libc6/lib and it was failing. I commented out the=20
   /usr/i486-linux-libc6/lib line in /etc/ld.so.conf and BOOM, uname
   works! But this can't be the complete solution! Does anyone know what I=20

If you're serious about security, you control physical access to the machine.

If it's only being used for the local monitor/keyboard/mouse, and you have
multiple users, you need to lock the system unit up *and* reconfigure
CTL-ALT-DEL to be ignored.

Hi,
        Then, can I compile it under 5.3 or do I have to use glibc2 binaries

Have you configured the system to be a DHCP client? This will white out the
network base configuration menu choice. The fix is to re-select DHCP
client, select 'no' and press enter. Then do the network base configuration
and go back to DHCP client-mode again. (I went through this two days ago .

Yes, I gave up too easily.  Following the advice of several
knowledgeable persons, I changed the ownership of /nsmail and all the
files in it, including Inbox. Linux can be very frustrating, but also
very rewarding  when the solution to a problem is so easy. =20

Thank you all very much indeed.

Not really.  KDE - right mouse, select program.  Wheel icon appears on
desktop.  Right mouse it, select properties.  Rename default prefix to
desired desktop name.  Click execute tab and browse to find executable
file or script.  Browse for icon graphic. Click last tab and select
executable type.  Presto!  Done.

Except there is a lot of typing and path changing to do every time you
want to run a pgm, and you know how fuddle-fingered one can get at
times. Doing this over and over may be a learning situtation the first
one or two times, but after that it is a pain in the .... fingers.
With a desktop icon you make it. Once.  Then click it any time you want
to run what the icon represents.=20

KDE never gives me a problem.  Period.

It's about choice, which is what makes the world go round, unless you
live in a "benevolent" socialist nanny state.

Hi all
        I recently installed 98 and connected to my linux lan which worked
flawlwssly with ip masq.
Initially I established a good ip masq with the 98 and all was well.
I then decided to switch modems from 98 to linux which diddn work so I
switched back and now the ip masq dosnt work. (both modems work
independently on the seperate machines though)
Here are the symptoms
1)I can ping all machines no problem
2)when I dialup with linux and immediatly try to ping the linux from 98
the ping hangs and no net connection is made with 98.
3) as soon as I kill the ppp connection on linux I can then ping linux
from 98

I *really* have to get this working and any suggestions readmes etc would
be appreciated.=20
If someone has their network setting in 98 please post or send them to me

also fwiw I have a FW on suse and masq starts on boot spoofing friends
etc....
I dont suspect the FW to be a problem because I can ftp files easily from
98 to linux. The connection seems to break when I establish ppp with linux
Any ideas?
thanks

This is not the only way to secure your system, otherwise we are saying
that linux is a poor os for enterprise applications.

First, you must do the above, as well as disabling booting from floppy
in the BIOS.  There is also a way to use sulogin from inittab to require
a password when booting into single user mode.  Look up cryptographic
filesystems and such.  It all depends on who you're trying to keep out,
and for how long.

The Security HOWTO and books on security are good places to start.  Then
on to sites like rootshell, l0pht, and antionline for more info.=20
Security isn't impossible, it's just a full time education :-)

hello everyone..=20

well I just installed SuSE 6.0 and I just set the X Windows using SaX.
Everything is going great except the configuration of the Keyboard.=20

All the letters work except the |, @, ~, and $ characters. it would output
~, ", -, and the Pound Sign, respectively.. I tried different combinations
in the model and Languages.. and its still gives me the same stuff.

 I'm using a Compaq Presario with a Compaq keyboard..

Thanks for your Time..

gudday...

I am having a problem with "ppp".

I have S.U.S.E. 6.0 installed and am using
KDE.

When I am booting up "Kppp" and it seems to
authenticate, I get the following "KDE" message:

        "The pppd daeman died unexpectendly".

Can anyone help me with this problem?

Thanks in advance

What plans does SuSE have to also include a current release of gnome in
their new release?  Since there is something much nicer than the old
version on 6.0, it would be nice if people could see gnome 1.00 instead.

When I worked with SPARC Solaris (2.5 at that time) I could do the same I
can do with a Linux boot floppy (start rescue system, mount filesystem on
hard disk, change/delete root password, reboot the real system, bingo!)
with a Solaris CD.

By the way, my SuSE 6.0 has the lines
  # what to do in single-user mode
  ls:S:wait:/sbin/init.d/rc S
  ~~:S:respawn:/sbin/sulogin
in /etc/inittab, so that you have to give the root password for single
user mode, before you get a shell.

I'd have to agree about KDE. I have had it lock up, but I had about ten
different programs running at once, including Netscape.

If you're going to have to do all this typing, you might as well be on a
console instead of X Windows. If I'm going to use a GUI, it might as well
be really GUI (gooey?). I prefer the console to X, but when I'm in X, I'd
rather not open a terminal window so I can launch programs and such. Just
point, click, drag, etc.

Also, you're looking at two different paradigms. For newbies, KDE is most
like what they're probably coming from (M$ Windows). These people are
acutely afraid of the command line. Having to do stuff in xterm is
combining two dissimilar paradigms, which would be daunting at least.

Nothing against fvwmx, but you do have to do a lot of xterm and rc file
twiddling in it, which doesn't exactly fit with that GUI look and feel.

Hi,
    this problem has been solved by someone of the list (TJo, for sake of
precision) three or four days ago, and I had it, too, so no better occasion
to show I've learned the lesson ;) !
    In the file /etc/ppp/options , at the line 72, there should be the word
'lock'. Just comment it, by putting a # simbol before it, and it all will
work.
    BTW, someone would explain why this setting is the default, even if it
creates so many troubles? If it wasn't for you, I never would have solved
this problem...
    Greetings,
        Germano

This may sound weird: no, I didn't try the replace button! Which was
stupid, as it did what I wanted. I was mislead by the screen showing 5
or so unchecked boxes. So I checked only the minimal installation and
thought: that's what I'll get.=20

Thanks for helping me out of my black-out!

Hmmmmmmmmmmm

with out the no-linier , i got black screens with red type. open up a
terminal window I got a blacl and white striped window , where you could
not see what you typed.

I added the no-linier and started x=20
wity "startx -bpp 16"=20
that gave a workable screen , that has three sizes (shift +/-) and I was
even able to use netscape as well.

To be honest , I am realy glad to have some sort of workable xwidows ,as
just using terminal mode was realy holding me back from see what linuix can
do.

Maybee its not in 16 bpp mode , How can you checkk this ??
Now I am curios to knoe what mode it is in.=20

How do you check this ??

yast's display is a bit dodgy under gnome-terminal on my machine. I'm
guessing it's some kind of setup problem on my part (I used the SuSE .rpm's
from the Gnome site). Anyone have this problema and know how to fix it?

Try "file ", it should tell you the correct file type. If it is
still gzipped, rename it to .gz. Gzip will not decompress files
without the "gz"-extension...

This is the Motif library, which is required for the dynamically linked
binaries, which are also contained in this package. Just pass the
"--no-deps" Parameter to RPM and it should install.

Yes, Gnome (1.0.1 at least) will be included as well.

I would recommend using "ProFtpd", it is much easier to configure for such
an environment and works. But be sure to get the latest version from the
ftp-Server! The one on the CD has a security hole.

Hi,

I normally start up emacs as a server and handle my mail in it.=20
I also often use emacs forms mode for accessing my data.=20
Sometimes, say once every 5-10 times, I access and leave forms mode to
find out that many commands result in an error message like:

Args out of range: 747308, 747308

As a result I can't even save my RMAIL file, get new messages and so
on. I can't even quit with C-x C-c and have to kill emacs.

Does anyone have similar problems?=20

Hi!

I have some difficulties whith YaST. For me, YaST feels a little awkward to
work whith, but I guess I`ll "grow into it" eventually. For now, my problem is
that I somehow messed the package configuration up, so that whenever I
install/remove a package, and make a dependencies check, I get a long list of
packages whith the message:
"Search for installed or ready to be installed packages whose dependencies are
NOT given!.."
The list contains packages that are not installed on my system, but that YaST
seems to be 'missing'. If I choose to ignore and press 'continue' my choices
will be installed/removed, and the above mentioned packages will be left
alone.... Til next time.....:-)
How can I resolv this, and get YaST to quit nagging me about stuff that I don=
`t
want to install...??

Hallo Linux Experten!

Kann man Linux auf einer separaten Festplatte (in diesem Fall D:)
installieren und von dieser HD in Linux booten ohne diese Platte zum Master
machen zu muessen? Das MB (Bios) erlaubt nur ein booting von C:. Gibt es
fuer diesen Fall einen Bootmanager der auf der Startplatte liegt und eine
Auswahl erlaubt?

Sobald Linux bei mir "rund laeuft" werde ich aus "Bill's Folterkammer"
fliehen koennen...

Doesn't work on SuSE 6.0.

Well, they've only got the libc5 version out of course (tut) but I
thought that should work on SuSE 6.0 anyway. However, I just get "Bus
error".

So what's missing is a simple "here's how to configure fvwm2" guide. The man
pages are great for listing all the options, but I'm thinking of "here's a
list of neat things you can do, and how to do them".

Would be nice to have...

Dear Susers!

I did not find the Postgres tutorial examples within SuSE 6. Why they
are missing !
How can I restore them without making Yast crazy next time I call Yast
to install
or desinstall things !

Should I rebuilt Postgres from scratch will be installed in the sma way
SuSE did it !

Could any one of you help with hints or advises

Regards,  Naceur

Do you have a US keyboard and a UK keymap?
Have you tried using YaST to set the keymap? - see:
        Adjustments of installation
                select keymap

(I had no luck with Sax)

I've got Linux up and running, the sound isn't quite there yet, the ISDN
card, neither, but I can live with that for the moment. What I can't
live with out is a working mysqld. Each time I start it it tells me that
it can't find the file host.frm (or something or other just like that.)

What do I do? Well I ran mysqld --help to see what the paths where
supposed to be, and found them. Copied the *.frm files from the position
where they were at, and tried mysqld again. No joy. I read some more,
and everything comes back to that file.

Anyone have an idea about what to do? I'm just this (-><-) far from
getting my system to do what I want it to do. (I just have to mount a 4
GB partition for my database and web documents, but I'm waiting for this
other thing to work.)

Baud is the number of state changes on the line per second, for example=20
all V22 modems are 600 baud but the can be 600, 1200 or 2400 bps (if=20
you include V22.bis). The difference is the number of bits transmitted=20
with every state change.

If someone can get to the machine for about an half hour, they
can get anything. You can pull the cover off and remove the
hard drives and boot them up on another machine.

Some things I do:

1. Phsically lock your case to the desk, in such a manner that
the case cover cannot be removed.

2. Remove floppy, or disable it with a keyswitch on the 12 volt power
to it.

3. Put a password on lilo in the global section, and put the
word restricted in each kernel section. This will prompt for
a password when trying to boot into single mode.

4. Make your /boot directory read-only by root. It's
a pain when you need to run lilo to change it back to
read-write by root, but it keeps prying eyes out.
Your lilo password can be read from lilo.conf
also, so remove it after running lilo, or make it read-only
by root.  Also your /boot/map file has your passwords
showing in plain text.

Yeah, a simple ncurses style setup program for fvwm2 would be nice.
It would let you add programs to the menus, and set the background.
It could be done with s bash shell script.

I've seen this phenomena a couple times when grabbing .gz (not .tar.gz)
files using Netscape. The only solution seems to go back and download
again using another tool (ncftp, kfm, whatever).

This means, that you did not create the privileges database yet. Did you
use the mySQL RPM from the distribution? Then you just have to set
START_MYSQLD=3D"yes" in /etc/rc.config. It will create the necessary files
on the first startup.

Hello All,

These scripts are GPL.  Check them out.

They still need alot of work.  Any Perl programers out there
who what to help are welcome to.

Dear SuSE people,
Could anyone, or perhaps Lenz, tell me if it is posible to launch windows of
the kind Eterm, that can be transparent, as it is npossible with Devian. I am
using last version of WindoMaker but I do not like the idea to move from 5.3 =
to
6.0 as I read so many problems with the new distribution...!
I have a lot of beautiful Themes and for some of them I think that Eterm would
be a wonder.
Thanks if anyone can help,

My approach re: fvwm2 was to use a second taskbar or buttonbar that is
a bit easier to modify than the fvwm2 buttonbar.  I like tkdesk since
the code additions to get it to see additional icons and programs is
quite minimal.  Get the latest tkdesk from the guy's website.  I dont
recall or have the url.  On the mousie menus, I added a network popup
menu by copying an earlier one and making the entries say whatever apps
I wanted.  I even added cute little icons by looking at where fvwm2
places it mini icon files.  To add a nice background, I use xv at the
init part.  Something like:

*	"I"   exec xv -max -root /usr/share/pictures/barton.gif -quit

I also turn off xmessages by commenting its line in the init functions.

and the same with the web and news.  I actually wrote an additional
buttonbar for the fvwm2 buttons.  Not an easy task since I got quite
lost initially in the .fvwm2rc file.  I think if there were a graphical
front end to this file which would allow people to see what each area
does, that would be good.

To write a network popup or any popup, easiest way is to look at the
existing popups under workmenu (left mouse click on default fvwm2) and
add one yourself.=20

You can have fvmw2 start programs at the init line, you can add or
remove the buttonbar and add a new pager, etc by altering, removing
lines in the init area.  You can also have it change the state of
things by adding lines like:

tyle xeyes NoTitle, Sticky

Cruise down in the fvwm2 file until you see a bunch of these.  With
xeyes set this way you can start it via the init function and not have
title bars and have it follow you around in different desktops.

Hope this helps.

The --no-deps is unknown option by my SuSE 6 rpm package !

here is what I did :

aloha> rpm -i --no-deps java.rpm

--no-deps: unknown option

Any hints on where can I find the lib " libXm.so.2 " ?

Hi, I had mysql running about 6 months ago, but had no need for
it so I deleted it.
I remember there was some difficulty getting it to initialize.=20
There is a catch-22 sort of startup procedure for mysql
and postgres. They both come with a default database,
which you must first open up, then you can create a new database.
With postgres it was called "jolly", and with mysql (sorry I can remember).

On the mysql website, there is extra documentation. The complete
manual in pdf format seems to give all the steps you need to go thru.
Mysql contains alot of security features and you need to create=20
root priviledges and user priviledges before you can use it. The
pdf document explains this step by step.

Also there is an excellent mail list for mysql. If you want to use mysql,
susbscribe to it. It is a really informative list. There is plenty of
help available there.

Linux supports more than one processors since quite some time. Regarding
the maximum number: i've heard of 8-CPU (Xeon, IIRC) Compaqs running
Linux...

Use "--nodeps" instead of "--no-deps" for no dependencies rpm option

no problem it was just a syntaxe error, I was able to install the new java
rpm.

Interesting philosophical question.  Do you really want a lock that no
locksmith can open?

If you're willing to assume that only trusted people have physical access to
your Linux machine, then the reply is adequate; you can't run linux in S mode
without physical access.  If you don't assume that physical access is so
restricted, you can still set a startup password in the BIOS (for most modern
machines).  I assume there's a locksmith's way around that also, but I don't
know what it is.

That sounds like a plausible explanation.  I wonder if there are any options
on `cp' that will prevent it from trying to set the permissions.  Clearly,
because of the limits on vfat, merely modifying the mount parameters will not
do it.

I don't know what your problem is - but here are the entries in my fstab for =
three
Windows/DOS partitions:

/dev/hda1       /dos_c        vfat      defaults,conv=3Dauto,umask=3D0 0   0
/dev/sda1       /dos_d        msdos     defaults,rw,uid=3D65534,gid=3D65534,u=
mask=3D0   0
0
/dev/hda8       /dos_e        vfat      defaults,umask=3D0   0   0

All of them are accessible to me.

Have you tried accessing them as other than root?  There's that funny root-sq=
uashing
business in NFS mounts that might be relevant here.

Hello all,

I re-compiled kernel 2.0.35 and had to do make bzImage.  I renamed
the old kernel, copied the new kernel to /vmlinuz, updated lilo.conf and
ran lilo.  When I reboot and  pick the new kernel at the lilo prompt it
just says:  Loading SUSE........ and then the lilo prompt just reappears.
I can then pick the old kernel and it boots fine.  What have I done wrong?
Is there a problem with kernel I compiled?

I too got the same error when I installed Netscape 4.51.  So, I fired up
Yast, delete the Netscape package all together with Remove Packages, (back
up my mail of first of course), and then reinstall the new Netscape,
worked like a charm, saved room as well because Netscape 4.51 renamed all
the old Netscape files with .old extension.  Hope this helps you too.

 There is an optional argument '-z' you can give to tar to compress files.
I am not sure if it works on this drive. I have not tried to restore
files to a different directory but '-C directory' might work.

I am attempting to install a program that tells me it wants
libstdc++.so.2.8.  As I understand it, this comes from/with the g++
2.8.  If I am correct SuSE leap-frogged that one.  Is it possible to
install the 2.8 shared objects without stepping on egcs?  I poked around
on SuSE's site and didn't see the 2.8 rpm anywhere.  (I may have
overlooked it.)  Any advice would be appreciated.

I'm running KDE under Linux 5.3.  How can I set the keyboard repeat
rate?   I realize that there are several levels at which it might be
controlled:

1. The keyboard hardware itself.
2. The main part of the operating system.
3. The X Window system.
4. KDE.

Does anyone know how all of these interact?  KDE itself doesn't seem to
have a setting for this, though it does have a setting for keyclick
loudness.

I should mention that a fast keyboard repeat rate can be *very*
hazardous, particularly when you're doing system installation.  I once
clobbered a system because I pressed Enter once (so I thought) but got
three keystrokes as a result.  That took three default choices, one of
which was a disk reformat.

Paul,
and others, hey, the password in BIOS lock, well, take out the battery.

We've found that a Locked room, with only a small number of keys,
Bios Passwords
and of course login passwords, comes close to 'security'.

If someone wants in that has physical access to the machine, they're
probably in already. :-)

Hi all,
I made a couple of rpm:

- busycursor 0.3=20
- xfstt 0.9.10 provided with a startup script (/sbin/init.d/xfstt)

both are glibc based, hence for SuSE 6.0. Tomorrow I will prepare the libc5
version.
These are my first rpms, hence: suggestions, comments and even light
threats are welcome. You can find them -the rpms, I mean - at:
http://adriatico.prisma.rm.cnr.it/~maur=
izio>=20
The home page is dramatically essential, but you may consider it as a
metaphora of the human existence. Anyway, we are dealing with computers and
they don't understand art.=20
Busycursor has been compiled with egcs 1.1.1, while xfstt with gcc 2.7.2.3. I
don't know if the size of an executable may be an index of the quality of the
compiler but with gcc 2.7.2.3 I got smaller executable. Maybe someone of you
can enlight me.=20

It would be nice if we can upload our rpms to (in, at ... how do you say in
english?) the suse ftp server as other distributions do.

 Ciao

Maurizio

Well, kind of :)

You can issue "make" with the parameter "-j ", where "num" is the
amount of concurrent processes. Talking about applications: multithreaded
applications (like mySQL) make use of multiple processors, so do
applications which start multiple child processes (like Apache or Squid)

I found the problem on the webserver and it is now corrected (typo).
You can now download my perl scripts to convert fvwm2 menus to icewm
or blackbox menus.

>=20
All right then. Sometimes, one misses some important points. I didn=C5=BDt
install egcs, because I use the c-compiler only for compiling kernels.
Some packages (like FORTRAN) preselected egcs again. Since I am planing
to move to 2.2.2 (System restored after my big crash) this makes things
*much* easier.

thanks!

Hi Maurizio,

Here's a copy of my fstab line. I bet that your problem is that you did
not put in "rw" for read write.=20

BTW, where in Italy are you? I'm looking for someone living in Southern
Italy or Sicily. My wife and I are thinking about moving where it's warmer
than South Germany. :)

Hope this helps!

My Li=

system (SUSE6.0 kernel 2.0.36) is also OK, it connects to internet with a ana=

The problem is that a ISDN=20

There's fvwmconf. I've found it more confusing than editing the
.fvwm2rc, though. And another one's called dotfilemaker (?).

Yep. Press the help button. You'll find something about removing

More info:
1. 'apropos' also segfaults.
2. I extracted the files 'man', 'libdb.so.1.85.5' and 'libgz.so.1.1.1'=20
from my SuSE 5.2 CDs and copied them into the appropriate dirs. Then I=20
ran ldconfig.

No joy.

What's next--a full reinstall of the libz-1.1.1-1, db-1.85-8 and=20
man-2.3.10-8 rpm's?

Can anyone offer some insights? Obviously I'm flying blind here.

Yeah I know, but after seeing the problems with Netscape 4.5
running under libc5; I have a deep suspiscion that libc5
and libc6 are not compatible in some tiny way. Furthurmore I don't
think much effort is going into finding out either; everyone
is just moving on to libc6.

So if you are going to compile a kernel that was designed
for libc6 with libc5;  I would expect a little "quirk" to pop
up somewhere.

No one has ever explained why Netscape 4.5 keeps
giving bus errors when run under libc5. But under=20
libc6 it is fine. So what is the "glitch" ?

Who knows what might happen in the kernel?
Why risk it?

I've been telling you the best options for the

try those with no other options.
It is working good for everyone else.

There is a nice fvwm configuration documentation website.  I don't
recall the URL, but doing a google.com search on "fvwm" will bring it
up.

I can't remember what it is, but AFAIR there's a fix documented in the

That is because the option is --nodeps

You can also use --force to make rpm ignore package and file conflicts,
if you are brave...

  I personally use the settings in rc.config to control that, which can

I am now more confused than I ever have been about all this libc
stuff!

At some point in my constant tinkering with SuSE6.0 I reinstalled
Navigator 4.5 from the download off Netscape's site.  When starting it
resulted in a bus error and  would not start.  I deleted the whole
installation and reinstalled.  It then ran.  I just now upgraded to
Navigator 4.51 and realized that Midi wasn't working.  I downloaded the
ump for libc6 and copied the ump.so to /opt/netscape/plugins.  Netscape
would not start, and caused a bus error.  I then downloaded and
installed ump for libc5.  Netscape starts, and it plays MIDI files.  I
get an error, however.  It says "sh: error in loading shared libraries
libc.so.5 cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory."
This is displayed in a netscape window "subprocess diagnostics
(stdout/stderr)"

Q 1) How can this play music if it can't find the libc5 files?

Q 2) I thought libc5 application would run on SuSE6.0.  Why do I get
this error?

TIA,

Steve

I am releasing a new version of my perl scripts.  If you downloaded
the previous version, bitbucket it and get the new version.

this version requires no hand editting of the menus.  They can be
dropped right into place.

  Ok, I'm thouroughly stumped here, Ive compile the sound andppp both as
modules with less then positive results.
  The sound is an 100% SB (SB16-SCSI board) which I have given the
correct parameters within conf.modules
ie:
  alias sound sb
  alias char-major-14 sound
  options sb io=3D0x220 irq=3D5 dma=3D1 dma16=3D5 mpu_io=3D0x330

but it refuses to load unless I manually run '/sbin/modprobe sb' but if
I run it at a console, the system locks up, I have to run it within X. I
am able to compile it into the kernel with the same parameters but every
other boot causes it to lockup just after the "Starting kswapd v 1.5"
forcing me to reboot the machine. The 2.0.36 kernel worked fine with the
same parameters as I am setting for the 2.2.0p7 in both modular and
builtin form.
  Now the ppp module itself just plain ignores the hell out of whatever
I have attempted to try and start it with, whether it be manually or
automatically upon bootup, I end up with the same results, no ppp. When
I run modprobe or insmod on the ppp module it acts like its loading, but
when I attempt to connect with ppp it says that 'the kernel lacks ppp
support'. The conf.modules file contains the alias entries for ppp but
I'm not having any luck.
  I'm kinda fed up with looking for possible solutions, so if anyone
else can think of something I would really appreciate a response.

Works here, but I had plugin problems.  I suggest you remove any plugins
which are not default to 4.51 and see if it will start then.   I can't seem
to get UMP for libc6 to run with 4.51.  I won't swear that it works with
4.5 either.  I just haven't done a systematic test.  It did cause bus
errors with 4.51.  Of that I am sure.

I have been dual booting Linux and Win95 for awhile with Win95 on hdb thanks =
to
the gracious help of someone who provided me with a two line addition to the
Win95 section of lilo.conf.  Unfortunately I tried to add NT to the mix so my
daughter would have access to it for her CS studies.  That totally screwed up
my system so that I couldn't access Linux anymore.

The two lines remapped hda and hdb so that Win95 thought it was booting from
the the first drive.  I have checked the man pages for lilo and lilo.conf and
the Howto pages, but I can't find it again.  If someone could please send me
that configuration again, I promise I will make a hard copy and a backup so I
don't lose it again.

Hello

Can anyone give me and idea of when a SuSE Linux distribution will included
kernel 2.2.0?

The reason I'm asking is that: by the time I figure out every thing that is
needed to update SuSE 5.2, SuSE people will have the distribution out.

I suspect that you may be confusing gcc/egcs with libc5/libc6. Whether
you use gcc 2.7.2.3 or egcs you are still using libc6 (aka
glibc). Suse 6.0 allows you to *run* libc5 applications, but will
*always* generate libc6.=20

The original SuSE /usr/X11R6/bin/netscape program is a shell script. I
started 4.51 directly, and didn't call that script.

Ne1 that have been able to make SSH2 to work in SUse 6.0????
i only got som major errors. and that is really annoying.
Like i couldnt find libapam.so.0 and when i try to compile
pam will pam ask for libpam.so.0 to.. and I think that this shouldnt
happen.. in other words i will get MAAAADD.. .* blubb lubb*

If someone have been able to make this little things to work.

I have installed Suse ver 6.0 on one machine. However when Yast
compiles the configuration, it complains about missing libqimgio.so.
libqimgio.so exists, but points to the nonexisting libqimgio.so.0.

Where can I find this?

Yes, I'm subscribed to mysql, php, and suse lists. The problem is
solved, all I had to do was change the START_MYSQLD=3D"no" to yes and
voilla, I'm in heaven.

Now I'm off to download my favourite editor for installation; and the
SuSE manual hints at the possibility to run linux in a shell under
Windows, which would be way cool, since my prefferred editor is
UltraEdit.

We'll see.

A web search on a linux driver for this card turned up very little.
I have a SuSE linux system running on an Adaptek 1542A controller.=20
The controller card is becomming a bit unreliable, so a friend gave=20
me this wd7193 PCI card. The system SEEMS not to recognize it. Is my=20
distro (5.1) just too old, or does no driver for this card exist,
or,just a likely am I doing something wrong? I have 6.0 ordered=20
from Linux Central, will this work with this card?

On an alternate subject, this system has just had another drive=20
installed and I am wondering what the optimum partitions would
be. the drives are:
        760MB SCSI=20
        1GB SCSI
        1.3GB SCSI
        2GB SCSI
The 760MB and the 1.3GB are both older slower drives and the 2GB is=20
the fastest. This machine was made out of parts from my junk box!!=20
It has a Nexgen NX586-133 and 32MB of ram.

I tried that too, and it didn't work. But I'll now try deinstalling 4.5.

No it isn't, unless they've just now put it there. I'll check. (Again.)

Hi,

I tried to install java-1.1.7v1a-4.i386.rpm on my system.
This gave me failed dependencies:
libXm.so.2 is needed by java-1.1.7v1a-4
I checked and found that libXm.so.2 is a commercial lib...
Is there a way around this library install?
Note: a non-gui version does not suit me -- i need gui...

Thanks a lot,

The dependancy is necessary for the dynamically linked binaries. However,
the package also contains statically linked progs, so you can install the
package using the RPM-option "--nodeps".

Good. Is that in Suse's rc.config or whatever?=20

About a year ago I was trying to test mysql against sybase. We use sybase=20
at work, and it was my idea that mysql would run rings around it for
purely readonly reporting. To test this I
was loading two tables, one with about 60000 recs, and the other with
1.2million records. I was amazed at how fast mysql "imported" the records.
And especially impressed with reporting. One thing for sure, this
experience drove home the importance of indexes on joined and "where'ed"
fields. Alas, I did not finish doing it.=20

One thing I questioned was their security. IMO, I could not see how to use
it in a multiuser transaction oriented system. I wonder if they have
improved this?

I downloaded and installed KDE 1.1 RPMs from the SuSE FTP site and now I
see that some of the utilties included with KDE no longer work because a
shared library is missing. If I try to run "ktop" I get the following
error message:

ktop: error in loading shared libraries
libkfm.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or
directory   =20

The timestamp on "ktop" shows a date of January 20th, 1999 which seems
to indicate that it is an older utiltiy that's not included in the KDE
1.1 RPMs. All of the program files installed for the KDE bin directory
from the 1.1 RPMs have a timestamp of Feb 17th. This would tend to
indicate that those KDE programs with the Jan 20th timestamps or earlier
have been replaced or are no longer supported in KDE 1.1. Before
upgrading I was running the version of KDE that's included on the SuSE
6.0 CD set which I think was 1.0.=20

I did some more checking and I have something like 64 kde programs that
no longer run since they all have some dependency on some KDE 1.0 shared
libraries. I'm wondering if I should uninstall all of the KDE packages I
have and then wipe out any remaining files in my /opt/kde directory. I
could then do a clean install of the KDE 1.1. RPMs. Something seems to
have gone very wrong since I'm stuck with alot of KDE programs that no
longer run.

Hi,

I need some help with ssh.
I tried to compile ssh 1.2.26 with socks firewall support.
This failed with:
configure error: can not find socks library. You must first install socks.
Where can I get that library?
Also, even if i manage to compile it with socks support, how do I tell it
what proxy to use during connect?
For now, i tried:
# ./configure --with-socks
Is there anything else I need to specify?

All tips are greatly appreciated.

Hi,

It occured to me that when I added a new user, he/she can not use a
dialup/ppp service anymore.
When you type "wvdial" you get  an error message i: "can't read conf file.
Permission denied"
Does anybody know how to sort this out?

We'll thanks to alot of help from this mail list I have my card working!
Use the svga driver because the xfcom_sis was added to it.
Or at least this worked for me.
In sax go to the tab "card" there is an expert mode add all your settings
their.
check these in options     "nobitblt"   "noaccl"  "sw_cursor"
You'll find the xf86config's in /etc i found several on my computer I just
made sure they all said the same thing.
I added my correct amount of memory 8196 in the etc manually.

I've finally managed 1024x768 in 16bpp has anyone managed 24bpp  :)

If you still have problems with it I'll email you  a copy of my config.
I've tweaked and tweaked and tweaked and tweaked till I got mine running
where I liked it.
Good Luck,
Ian Moore

I'm trying to install SuSE 6.0 in a machine with just 16 MB of RAM.

After loading the root image and YaST starts loading for the first time
I get an error message in a red panel and I'm back in linuxrc. I also
get an error in the console about not being able to fork.

Does anyone have a suggestion about this? Is 16 MB too small?

No, 16MB should be more than sufficient. Which boot-disk did you use?

Hello,

I'm using 6.0 and have an ethernet card configured to use DHCP.
Initially, everything works just fine, but after a few hours
the network interface suddenly disappears, and dhclient reports
that the network is unreachable. lsmod shows that the ethernet
module is not loaded anymore. I imagine this is happening around
when the dhcp lease is up for renewal.

This has happened both with a 3com 3c905 vortex card and an ne3200
based card.  Does anyone know what's going on?

Thanks,

This problem is getting to me.=20

What I /did/ do was to reinstall man, libgz and libdb from the SuSE=20
RPM's as follows:

    rpm -U -vv --force db-1.85-8.i386.rpm
    rpm -U -vv --force libz-1.1.1-1.i386.rpm
    rpm -U -vv --force man-2.3.10-8.i386.rpm

Would you believe, man STILL gives the "Segmentation fault" message!!

If /anyone/ has any suggestions, please let me know. I never knew how=20
many times I ran 'man' until now :-)

BTW, Michael, I don't have strace installed now. I guess that's my next=20
alternative, but is it on the SuSE distro?

I used the scsi04 boot disk. I used it before on another PC without
problems. This one is a little old, though. I'll try eide01, this PC
doesn't have SCSI.

This time I'll write the message down :)

Hi

 I've been able to upgrade to the 6.0 version of SuSE linux without=20
problems.  Everything works fine.  The only thing is that YaST told=20
me not to install Star Office when I ran setup.  It said run=20
"sosetup" from within X-windows.  I've done that and it just tells me=20
not to be silly and to go away. If I use YaST it refuses to either=20
find the package or doing anything sensible.  What is the file name=20
of the Star Office file ?

 Anyone know how to get Star Office into my linux box.  Which CD is=20
Star Office located on ?  What's the list of commands that I need to=20
use to install it ?  The SuSE installation manual is superb but it=20
doesn't give a clue about Star Office installation.

        I've looked at the SuSE search database and the stardivision.com=20
site for FAQs, nothing doing there.

Thanks

Dear Friends,

I just tried SuSE 6.0 and would like to implement kernel 2.2.1 in it.  I
have d/led .tgz form of kernel 2.2.1 and read Documentation/Changes.  It
seems many package in SuSE 6.0 hasn't complied with the requirement yet.

Anyone has upgraded their kernel, and would like to share me how to do it
in details ?

Thank you.

I've upgraded from 5.3 to 6.0 without significant problems.  However, I notic=
ed
that Realaudio no longer works in Netscape 4.51.

I've double checked rvplayer and it works.  If I enter rvplayer the Realaudio
window opens and I can enter the web location I want and then click and start
playing a live radio session.

If I try the same site in Netscape rvplayer starts for a second (I can see it
in top) and then nothing.  I've checked all my setting and everything seems
correct.

Is this a known problem in Netscape 4.51? =20

You're right. Sorry Rachel. I found it last week in the unsupported
directory on a US Netscape server, but when I went back to grab it, it's
only available in the 128-bit encryption version which my .uk TLD
prevents me from d/loading.

I have tried eide01, eide02 and eide03. In all instances I get the same
error.

Here is what I do:

- Boot the machine
- Load the NIC module
- Set the IP numbers requested
- Download the root image
- linuxrc starts YaST
     ERROR: Red panel with message:

              "An error occurred during installation!"

The console in ALT-F3 says:

  Loading Image /root
  /bin/sh: fork: cannot allocate memory
  Program Aborted!
  (Todays date)
    ERROR: Open Output File, DETAIL: 0 FILE: SystemCmd.cc LINE: 512

In one instance I got a "Caught signal 7!" right after "Loading Image
/root"

Note that I'm doing an FTP install (we've ordered the CD also). I gave
it a try my 5.3 and didn't get the same error, but while installing the
packages I got a red panel with message:

              "An error occurred during installation!"

apparently some error with the CDROM, a NEC cdrom.

So, any suggestions?

Well, supposedly they do: on the SuSE ftp server there is a "contrib"
directory. You can upload rpms into the "incoming" directory and they
should get moved over by the SuSE guys (check /pub/README.incoming).

However, quite some time ago (over a month) I uploaded some rpms
and send mail to SuSE. Even got a reply after a while that they
got the files and that they will be moved. But nothing has
happened so far...

I am beginning to think that I should also start creating a
web page where people can download my SuSE rpms instead of waiting
(forever?) for SuSE to react...

Hi Francisco,

Until not there is no sound driver for the SB live available. The starting
to wok on a driver for the SB card. You can see the supported card at:
http://www.opensound.com/osshw.html>

This is the main site: http://www.opensound.com/linux.h=
tml>

You can also look in the supported hardware database of Suse.

As far as i understand the way that kernels are handled the driver will
only will be added in kernel 2.2.x and higher. In kernel 2.2.x soundblaster
PCI64 and PCI128 are already supported.

Regards,

Joop Boonen.

I hope that the information was useful.

Had the same problem a while ago. Turns out it was due to some
errors (out of sync?) in the man index caches.

Try running "mandb" (or alternatively SuSEconfig which runs mandb,
too) to recreate the man index cache files.

All KDE programs need to be recompiled for the new 1.1 libraries.
Old (i.e. 1.0) programs won't work.
You'll have to remove all the old KDE packages that weren't
replaced during the upgrade and possibly try to get newer
versions of the corresponding programs.
Unfortunately, the KDE 1.1 rpms on the SuSE server are
missing some programs, IMHO. For example, ktop disappeared
although, according to the KDE web site, it still belongs
to "kutils"....
SuSE guys, will there be updates/additions to the KDE rpms?

Here is more information I could get while working on this:

After loading the network card module SMC-Ultra with io and irq
parameters, so no probing is done, I get this in the log console:

   VFS: Disk change detected on dev 02:00
   VFS: Can't find a minix or minix V2 filesystem on dev 02:00
   VFS: Can't find an ext2 filesystem on dev 02:00
   smc-ultra.c: v2.02 ...
   eth0: SMC Ultra at 0x280 ....

I don't know the nature of the VFS error but it happens when I load the
module (I tested.) At this point if I try the FTP install, it fails as I
described before. If I try a CDROM install (with a SuSE 5.3 CD in the
drive) it loads YaST with no error.

Hope this can shed some light into this problem. Any comment will be
welcome. Thanks.

Setup is not telling you not to install SO. It just says that wehn u install
it with yast  you also have to run "sosetup" under X.

Ok, it is located on CD Nr. 3. With yast install the so package in the pay
section. You will be asked to insert CD3. But first u have to start with
CD1. The next step is to start X-Window and then you have to rub sosetup
there. After the complete Instalation you can deinstall the so package with
yast.

If there are any mor problems just mail me :-)

If you did use the SuSE RPM, just set "START_MYSQLD=3Dyes" in /etc/rc.config

I was wondering if anyone here has succesfully installed the irc
client KVirc on SuSE 6.0. No matter what I tried, I just couldn't get
it to compile. When trying to "make" I get a whole bunch of "undefined
refernces", I've got all the libraries required, and the
LD_LIBRABRY_PATH is also set correctly.

The ftp-Installation requires some more RAM than the CD installation. The
VFS warnings can be ignored.

I must (once again) correct myself. 16MB does not seem to be enough for an
ftp-Install in SuSE 6.0. However, there's a workaround: Make sure, that
you already partitioned your disk and created and initialized swap-space
on your hard-disk. Now choose "ftp-Install" and wait for YaST to load. As
soon as you see the progress-bar (Starting YaST), press CTRL+S when the
bar is past the first half of the screen. You should now have a root-shell
on console #2, where you can add swap space using the "swapon
" command. Verify this with the "free"-command. Now switch
back to console one and press CTRl+Q to continue. YaST should start up
fine now.

Good luck!

Hello,

I have installed SuSE 6.0 and I am now having trouble getting Atalkd to run.

I have installed the aic7xxx kernel off the cdrom.  The .config file looks co=
rrect for supporting Appletalk, but just isn't
happening.

Is there a how-to out there, or any other insight?

thanks

Lach

Subject: [SuSE Linux] Accessing my dos partition...solved

Hi all,
I solved the problem. I put all my mount point into /mnt while SuSE by default
put them in /. I read a lot about the mount command and the fstab, and I was
extra sure that the infamous line in my /etc/fstab should work. In fact it was
the file permission of /mnt to give me problems. For a reason I don't
understand the permissions were:
d---------  root  root    /mnt

in fact only root could access mnt while, according to my fstab, every user
could mount the msdos partition:

/dev/hda1    /mnt/msdos  vfat   noauto,user,umask=3D000 0 0

where:
noauto -> the msdos filesystem is not mounted at boot
user -> Allow an ordinary user to mount the file system. This option implies
the options noexec, nosuid and nodev. This options is necessary otherwise you
won't be able to mount this file system as ordinary user.
umask-> set the bitmask permissions that are not present. Usually umask is set
(see file /etc/profile) to 022 which means: rwx for the owner of   the file,
execute and read for group and others. The 2 bit in the umask force to exclude
the permission bit related to 2 i.e write permission.

The file systems, unless overridden by specific options in the fstab file, are
mounted rw by default, hence you don't need to explicity put "rw" in the fsta=
b.

I changed the permission of the mnt directory to:
drwx_r_xr_x    root   root  /mnt  =20
(the x, for a directory means access not execute) and everything went weel.

I am surprised on how much blind (brain - blind, I mean) I can be.

Sometimes I happen to get up on the wrong side of the bed.
My bed has a side on the wall.

My advice is not to do rpm -U but rpm -i --force for new (1.1) kdesupp and
kdelib (if you have an earlier version of kde -1.0) , many programs are linked
to old libraries so.1  but rpm -U unistall them.

Read carefully instructions when you install star office. When you install it
from yast i gives you an advice that installation tree will be installed in (=
 I
don't  remember but meybe in /usr/local/lib/so_en  ) then you shud go to this
location and run setup from subdirectory bin - this is the real instalation,
after insstallin you should uninstall an rpm package ( it's only zipped
installation )

I missed kpackage, so I tried to compile it by myself. It seems quite easy,
there is even a spec file if you want rpm.
The version I have is 1.1.3 (the latter realese) which requires Qt >=3D1.42,
which I have installed on my system. The problem is that I cannot compile it
because all the qt include files have the wrong name!
For example:
In file included from kpackage.cpp:21:
kpackage.h:46: qfiledlg.h: No such file or directory
kpackage.h:47: qgrpbox.h: No such file or directory
In file included from kpackage.cpp:23:

I had a look at /usr/lib/qt/include and:
qfiledlg seems to be named qfiledialog.h=20
qgrpbox seems to be named qgroupbox.h

Who is wrong, the author of Kpackage or people at SuSE who made
the Qt rpms?

I have also noticed that some KDE1.1 applications suffers with a sort of buff=
er
overruns when xfstt is installed. I use the same number and type of true type
fonts I used with 5.3. The compilations of xfstt is extremely easy so you
cannot be wrong with that. I use the same version of xfstt as I used in 5.3
(hey, I compiled it again, with the libc6, I am not usinf the version for 5.3=
).
Kmail is one of the affected program.
Moreover, I had lots of problem with the italianisation of the Desktop as I
reported on this list. I downloaded the rpms from SuSE and I installed three
or four time right now, always after removing any clue of the previous
installation. I have the suspect that the KDE1.1 packages are not very well
done.

Hi,
    I've begun to collaborate to translate some Linux docs into italian (KDE
for now). The problem is that I have to manage SGML files. I use a text
editor now, in particular kedit (but I guess anyone would suit), and I try
to
keep the tag scheme intact. But I can't be sure I do right, 'cause I don't
know how to read sgml files... Is there any program who lets one edit SGML
files directly? Or just view them, just to be sure I keep the original
layout intact?
    thanks,
        Germano

Hi!

I have difficulties getting my printer to work. I have compiled kernel 2.2.0
and built the modules parport.o & lp.o (amongst others). The lpd is set to
start at boot-time and no errors are reported while booting. However, when I
start YaST to configure a printer, It wont let me choose the option
'configure printer'. (I have a HP deskjet 670c). I have consulted the
SuSE-manual, but to no avail...
Any help would be much appreciated.

I've not probed it but... could it be that you create a swap partition
before do the rest?... you could boot the system with a linux boot
disquette with fdisk and create the partitions before installation

Excuse my poor english, i think rafael may understand spanish:

podr=C3=ADas hacerlo aunque no lo he comprobado en la pr=C3=A1ctica (falta de

AFAIK, Emacs has a special SGML-Mode. In addition to that, package
"sgmltool" contains a tool called "sgmlcheck", which checks the integrity
of your document.

However, it stopped working when I put kernel 2.2.3 on, no idea why.

I assume because of the same reasons that made xosview to stop working
since 2.2.2 : the format of some files in the /proc filesystem have
changed.

If you installed the shlibs5 package (series "a") you should have
libqimgio.so in /usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib along with libqimgio.so.0,
both linked to libqimgio.so.0.1 and all in the same directory.

The stale link to libqimgio.so in /usr/i486-linux-libc6/lib which gives
rise to the error messages seems to be the result of a bug in the
installer and can safely be deleted.

Only this ?
What kernel do you use if 2.1.x or 2.2.x I sugest to recompile pppd.
If 2.0.x I don't know how to help you. Please write something about you

After compilation and instalation all should be good. There is a script which
makes missed files.  I had the same problem but now is O'K.

options file. This maybe be the wrong file name Im not on my box at home so
I can not tell for sure. But the help on kppp tells you what to do. It

I have a question about how linux deals with memory and swap space.  My
company develops engineering apps for mainly unix platforms and we
recently started work on porting our software to linux.  One of these
programs is a kinda of modeler that can be relinked depending on the
size of model you want to work with.  Fairly often we work with "X"
million cell models that require a whole lot of ram.  Most of the
machines we have have at least 2GB of ram and about 4GB of swap.  We
have a dual processor PII 450 machine with 1GB ram and 2.5GB of swap.=20
It seems that whenever we try to go beyond a model that requires 1GB of
memory we get a segementation fault.  Is there a limit of some sort?  I
know there is a 8MB stack limit but that is not the problem.  We are
using suse6.0 with gcc and absoft fortran and a 2.2.2 kernel.  Could
someone point me in the right direction to find out more information?

Thanks

Drew

SuSE seemed to install OK, except that when booting there are
messages saying cua[0-15] cannot be found.  Yast setup seems to
go OK re: mouse, but sax config doesn't do anything to make the
mouse work.

After trying to mknod cua0 (4,64 perhaps, been a few days ago),
or link mouse to ttyS0 and other odds and ends, nothing works.
Manual start of gpm, no matter what options, etc., goes nowhere.

However, exact same setup works on Debian 2.0 installation.  Same
gpm options (-t ms -m /dev/ttyS0).  Sax did a better job of figuring
out the video card, and everything looks like it'll work, but no
Xserver since mouse isn't there.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Michael

I have resisted using "rpm" directly and so I have been using YaST to
install RPMs as I get them. I did look at the man page for rpm and I did
a few queries to see what package owns some of the kde utilties I can no
longer run. I get the following:

bash-2.02# rpm -qf ktop
ktools-alpha-50
bash-2.02# rpm -qf kdiff
kadm-alpha-45
bash-2.02# rpm -qf kless
ktools-alpha-50
bash-2.02#       =20

These are older packages than what are part of KDE 1.1.

My only question regarding rpm is how to get it show me a list of what
files are contained within an .rpm file? I tried: rpm -ql .rpm
and on every file I tried this on I get a not installed error message
like so:=20

Linux/KDE1.1> rpm -ql  klibs-1.1-1.i386.rpm
package klibs-1.1-1.i386.rpm is not installed

Also there is a fairly decent sgml viewer called qweb.  It's a Qt app

Let's try once again maybe we can do this.
Try to run kppp from xterm and then you can watch messages if they are from
kppp or pppd.

Hi, :)
    and thank you lenz. I tried to follow your advice, but it's not what I
meant, I'm afraid...
    I think sgml is a markup language just like html. Well, I search for the
equivalent for sgml of what frontpage (for example) and netscape are for
html: a WYSIWYG editor or, at least, a layout/graphical reader... It sounds
strange to me that they don't exist... Emacs, as far as I can see, does only
a tag checking, but _still_ shows the tag in the window. Or maybe I'm wrong,
and simply I haven't (yet) found the appropriate function :)...
    Sorry for tiring you again :), I hope this is the last time.

Hello!

Does anybody know what I have to do to install SuSE 6.0 on a Dell=20
Poweredge 2300?

When I boot up with the SuSE install CD, it recognizes the Adaptec 7890
controller, but then it can't find any hard drives!

(Further specs: http://www.dell.com/products/poweredge/pe2300/indepth.htm>)

TIA

Hi all,
I have a big problem with latex. I need to use the italian hyphenation. In
SuSE5.3 in the directory web2c I did=20
# initex 'lplain \dump'
from which I obtained 2 files: lplain.fmt and lplain.log. In lplain.log there
was written something about the hyphenation used which in my case was=20
\l(a)english=3D\language0
and=20
\l(a)italian=3D\language1

With SuSE6.0 I changed the file language.dat commenting the german language
and commenting out the italian language. Then I went to web2c and did a "init=
ex
'lplain \dump'" but there is no lplain file, I assumed it is changed in this
new version to plain but in plain.log there is nothing about hyphenation. I
urgently need to switch on italian hyphenation. Could you please tell me how =
to
do it?=20

Thanks,

Maurizio=20

How did you create your swap? the maximum swap partition size is 128 MB.
Of course you can bundle a few partitions, and there is a (Kernel?)
variable to alter if you want more than the standard (think it was 8)
swap partitions.

Don=C5=BDt know wether this changed with the 2.2.x Kernels, but above remarks
suit to the 2.0.x series.

As of version 1.7.1, xosview again works perfectly with 2.2.2 (and

[SuSE Linux] kppp fails [kppp helper fails!] after KDE 1.1-1 upgrade

I stand corrected. After the upgrade to KDE 1.1-1 the problem is NOT the
tradtional "LOCK is still in the Options file" or "pppd hangs
unexpectedly"...

...no, this is a brand new problem.

The kppp application functions fine. THE VERY INSTANT I hit the "connect"
button I get a collapse of the program and a screen explaining:

"A kppp helper application failed. So I stopped this pointless connection
attempt"

The screen really says something like that!

There is no LOCK in Options.

I have tried with BOTH the "use the lock file" selected and deselected.

Thanks

Keverything else is Kwonderful. Kvundebar, or whatever....

Khal

I think the problem could be the backplane controller!
Let me know if/when you get it running.
Because we have a dell 2300 at work that we are considering putting linux

I just wanted to mention a success story.=20

Seems so many complaints flow through here we forget to say enough about the
positives that happen so, here it is.

I received my Linux Office Suite from SuSE today.

Went to the database.=20

Found the link to installing Applixware 4.4.1 on SuSE Linux 6.0 and
followed it.

It just worked.

Glibc version installed and running as advertised.

Imported a couple of xls and Ms Word files ...=20

Didn't have to jump through any additional hoops.

I _love_ when that happens.... and it loads SOOOOOOooooooooo much faster
than Star Office. Yes!!

I use Netscape 4.5 in Win98 (I have a winmodem) and also have a strange probl=

extensions changing.  When I try to dl .tar.gz files they are listed as .tar.=
tar in
the "save to disk" dialog box. If I remember at the time I correct it then. I=
f I
forget then I change it wherever it was saved. No problem.

Something else I noticed,  when trying to dl .rpm files in Netscape Real Play=

to play them. So I just dl .rpms with I.E. One of these days I'll get around =
to
removing Real Player. I don't use it anyway.

You might want to try running "mandb" with the "-c" option which
recreates the caches from scratch instead of trying to update them.

Subject: [SuSE Linux] Why no Firewall/Masquerade Info in SuSE 6.0

Hi,

    I just picked up a copy of SuSE 6.0 (I'm using 5.3 at the moment), and
reading through the manual, I didn't see a section (or any reference in the
index) on Firewall and Masquerade.  Given that a lot of people are using
Linux on a 486 box for internet access for a LAN, how come no instructions?

    Should I make copies of files like rc.config, hosts, etc., before
attempting to upgrade?  I figure I'd better write down the IRQ and
interrupts for my two ethernet cards for sure.

I also get the same error message; however, I notice that if you try again
on the second (or sometimes third) attempt, kppp does work, for some
mysterious reason. However, after disconnecting, and reconnecting
afterwards, it fails once again. My options file does not contain 'lock' in
it; this seems to be a new bug.

I'm getting 24 bpp with "no_bitblt"  but there seem to be different
versions of this chipset so you mileage may vary.

The night of the inauguration ball Clinton, Gore and their wives were
turing the Whitehouse, followed by the C-SPAN cameras.  Gore lead the
group into the Hall of Presidents.  Glancing around he pointed to the
bust of George Washington and asked "Who's that?".  Clinton, standing
behind him, turn toward the camera (but was apparently not aware he was
being filmed) and hit his forehead with the heel of his hand, then
rolled his eyes.  I'll never forget that.  I knew from that instant that
Gore wasn't smart enough to be President of the US, which is why he is
Clinton's VP.  A real Quayle-clone.

It is libc6 (aka glibc).  You can also load the old libc5 files too.=20
The best of both worlds.

Neither in the german version. ;-( But, look into the docs on CD. The
"old" 5.3 Article might be theresomewhere. (I=C5=BDll go looking for it
today, since I am working on the same thing) There are changes with the
2.2.x Kernels, ipfwadm has changed to something I don=C5=BDt remember. ;-)

definately. save your home directorys, /etc, and if you made changes to
your boot files also /sbin/init.d. Anything in /usr/local/bin?
I had a big crash recently and learned a lesson. ;-))
Updating won=C5=BDt kill your stuff, but create *.rpmsave *.rpmorig files.
It=C5=BDs helpful if you know what=C5=BDs been changed before.

I had a mail from stardiv last week. Spoke about new Filters and

Hi everybody,

it=C5=BDs possible that it=C5=BDs been on the list, most printing stuff conce=

the lp module or the changed /dev/lp0 lp1 stuff, so I didn=C5=BDt care to

for goodness sake, which kernel option did I miss to mark for compiling

YES! That proved to be the key. After running 'mandb' as root and=20

I renamed the offending /var/catman/local/index.bt, reran 'mandb', got=20

I've been looking in lost of places, but still my network configuration
is not working correct. Does anybody have any clue where to find
information/examples etc.

To be more exact: i have a small network (2 W98 machines, 1 linux
machine that should be the server in the network. The linux machine also
has a Fritz! PCI ISDN card. My internet proviser gave me a static IP
number. I' m working with SuSE 6.0 (2.0.36) .

Any help or hints would be welcome.

Juergen,

Mine works in 2.2.3.  Did you have it working with 2.2.2 or 2.2.1?  The
strange thing is that when *I'm* booting I get a message repeated about
twenty times 'modprobe can't locate module char-major-4' or words close to
these.  I have no idea why I get this.  I've gone through the
configuration several times and don't see anything obvious that I might be
missing.  I also have a problem with my kscd interacting with the CD-ROM
drive.

It looks like you are aware of the change in lp0 <-> lp1 and have already
taken the corrective action in your CMOS settings.  I wish I could help.
All I can do is quote that fine gentleman in our White House: "I feel yur
pain." :-/

Hey gang,

  Some time ago there was a thread in this group about re-partitioning an
existing MSDOS FAT hard drive without re-formatting and losing all the
data currently on the drive. It would allow one to re-size, both up and
down, the size of the partition.

  Does anyone remember this, or what 3rd party software that accomplished
this?

-John

It's there, but the name 'filter upgrade' is confusing since you have to
download the whole package (about 60MB).  I didn't find a separate
upgrade for the filters alone.  Now after the upgarde the 'about' box
shows 'Version 5.0 FilterUpgrade'

Does anyone have installed qmail instead sendmail over SuSE 6.0?

I was trying with qmail-1.01-8.i386.rpm that i've downloaded from RUFUS
repository but havin' enough troubles...

More information about the package:

Description :
Qmail is a small, fast, secure replacement for the SENDMAIL package,
which is the program that actually receives, routes, and delivers
electronic mail.  *** Note: Be sure and read the documentation as there
are some small but very significant differences between SENDMAIL and
QMAIL and the programs that interact with them.

Thanks in advance and excuse my poor english.

Ouch.  Probably 7 or 8 hours and several retries on my phone line.  Oh
well, thanks to cron and wget that's not as painful as it sounds...

The version I have now imports most Word files but doesn't always get the
formatting right, and doesn't handle Powerpoint files at all.  How much
improvement have you seen with the upgrade?

I used PartitionMagic 4.0 (with latest patch to 4.1) quite successfully
to resize MSDOS partitions as well as EXT2 (Linux) partitions w/o losing
any data all on any sized partition (including a hard drive > 8 gigs). =20

I would just grab 1.03 tar-ball from the author site and install it.

It's safer....

I have 1.02 running on several servers and 1.03 running on my workstation
at home with SuSE 6.0.

Unless the rpm is from SuSE, I'd prefer to run through the installation from
the tar-ball. It will help you understand the process better, anyway.

I freely open all Powerpoint and MS Office 97 files without problems.
It's excellent.

yapp. It *was* on the list. I dug the archives and found a mail Mark
Gray, march 6th:

alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
options parport_pc io=3D0x378

were "missing" in conf.modules. In my case, the printer is now on lp0.

well, I thought of a missing, not compiled module. My setup was OK. I
think we=C5=BDll hear more of these "module linked problems" as people move
to 2.2.x. ;-))

Thanks for putting brain grease into anyway.

Make sure you have selected

        Parallel port support
        PC-style hardware
        Parallel printer support

in the kernel configuration. If you have compiled `PC-style
hardware' as a module, add

        alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
        options parport_pc io=3D0x378 irq=3D7

to /etc/conf.modules (of course io and irq have to match your
settings). Then reconfigure your /etc/printcap (change /dev/lp1
to /dev/lp0). It's probably the best to use YaST's printer
configuration for that.

Ciao,
        Stefan

Hi,
Using suse6 and the 2.2.1 kernel.

I've been playing around with printing when
I get a chance. I've ran into some "oddities",
and wonder if anyone knows what the deal is?

1. I was recently given a bunch of suggestions on how
to print plain text files from a command line.
I finally had to resort to what was in the manual...doh...!!

To print a plain ascii text file from the command line,
I just enter "lpr -Praw textfile"...very easy.

There is one glitch to this. As root it works perfectly.
As a user, it works from a command line or xterm perfectly,
but when I enter it on the Midnight Commander command line,
it prints, but the console locks up.
When I do a ps -aux I see that a "cons.saver" for that tty
is locking the tty. It seems like Midnight Commander is not
regaining the tty after printing. It works perfectly
when running Midnight Commander in an xterm.

Any clues, or should I just learn to live with it?

2.  I need to do a chmod 666 on /dev/lp0 to get normal
users rights to the printer. Is this normal? Is there
another way to give users printing rights? Do I need to
set up a printer group?

Hi,

I'm a total newbie to Linux. Just got SUSE 6.0 3 days ago. My understanding
was that SUSE 6.0 is compatible with i740 card. But I can't seem to
configure it from the list in XF86Setup. When I click on it gives me some
sort of error prompt. Can someone please help me. TIA!

Don't need to do that since the group exists:

bash-2.02$ ls -la /dev/lp0
crw-rw----   1 root     lp         6,   0 Jan 20 05:27 /dev/lp0
bash-2.02$ cat /etc/group | grep lp
lp:x:7:
bash-2.02$

So, just add the corresponding users.

Have a good one.

Dee,

How's it do browsing the web?  I am using the SO5 off the SuSE 60 disks and I
can't seem to get it to find my network.  It did interface with the web when I
set it up.  It had to in order to register.

I just got done upgrading my home network server from SuSE 5.3 to SuSE
6.0 and all I can say is what a pain. The upgrade was very smooth and
everything was working fine after the upgrade expect IP Masquerading. As
it turned out, I had to go and hand edit "/etc/rc.config" and set
IP_FORWARD=3Dyes inorder to get things working again. I guess I'm confused
as to what other way is there to configure this stuff?  I don't recall
seeing any option for IP_FORWARDING in YaST. I had IP Masquerading
working fine under SuSE 5.2 and it still worked after I upgraded to 5.3.
It seems like something really changed in SuSE 6.0 with regard to this.=20

What alerted me to this problem that then led to a solution was that
during bootup, I would see a message stating that IP Forwarding was
being turned off. After greping around a bit I found that this message
was being displayed from the "/sbin/init.d/boot" script.

I am attempting to install SuSE Office Suite onto  a friends computer.
I ran SAX but it didn't work properly.
Using xf86config everything went well until I hit startx.
"config error /etc/XF86config :207
Protocol: File has been written Take a look at it before running
'startx'  Note that  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Mouse type not supported by this OS
_X11TranssocketUNIXConnect:Can't connect: errorno=3D111
xinit:no such process(error 3)
server error"

This machine had 5.3 running a while ago and the same setting worked on
an installation using the normal SuSE 5.3 iinstallation.
This was a completely new installation off the Office suite release.

thanks

Denis

Hello,

As root, I'm able to connect with KPPP at 33k baud, but
as user I'm limited to 9600 Baud.

Any ideas,

Thanks

Hi All
    Ive just reinstalled Suse 5.3 and initially diald started on bootup.

Now for some "strange reason"..  at boot, the message I get is "diald
already running...."
then on shutdown... "couldnt shutdown diald no such pid"
after boot I issue ps x and of course diald is *not* running and any
commands to call it up produce a "network is unreachable"
Can any one please shed some light on my delimmna?
Thanks

As much as I prefer StarOffice for spreadsheets, documents of all sorts, etc.,
it has to be the WORST app. to setup for mail, and in fact, it locks up SO
tighter than a crabs butt as soon as it "updates."  SO 4.0 didn't work proper
either, and 5.0 WITH the FREE upgrade now available also locks up.  I haven't
tried the Java upgrade yet, but probably will, just to see if it'll handle web
pages better than Netscape.

Are you configured property kppp speed for that user(s)? maybe the root
have 33k in his configuration but the rest of users not... Take a look
at Setup/Device on KPPP *as the corresponding user*... sorry if it
wasn't the trouble.

Have a good one.

I now have it working.  I also have to have import/export so use SO.  So far,
the new filters seem to work quite well.

The User(s) KPPP is set for 57,600.  Something is limiting the serial
port speed to 9600.  This must be a common problem, because I'm using
a standard Suse 6.0 install, got KPPP running under root, then tried
running KPPP as as a user.

Any other ideas,

Chuck

I found a work-around to the problem.  If you change the user(s) KPPP
serial rate from 57,600 to 115,200 then the modem connects at 33k.

Weird, but I'll live with it.

Thanks

Hello,

I tried to modify my /etc/fstab file to make mounting my Iomega Zip
drive more straightforward, along the lines suggested in the Support
Database.

Since then, during the system boot and when I "mount /zip" I am getting
the following error message:

[mntent]: line0 in /etc/fstab is bad; rest of file ignored.

Mount /cdrom produces the same error message.

It is more of a nuisance than anything else 'cause the Zip and cdrom
drives mount correctly.

This is my /etc/fstab file, I added the line beginning /dev/hdd4.... I
don't think I changed anything else:

/dev/hda7	/		ext2		defaults	1	1
/dev/hda10	/usr		ext2		defaults	1	2
/dev/hda6	/wine		vfat		defaults	0	0
/dev/hda1	/winc		vfat		defaults	0	0
/dev/hda9	/home		ext2		defaults	1	2
/dev/hda8	swap		swap		defaults	0	0
/dev/hda5	/wind		vfat		defaults	0	0

/dev/hdc	/cdrom		iso9660		ro,noauto,user	0	0

/dev/hdd4	/zip		vfat		rw,noauto,user,exec,umask=3D000	0	0

/dev/fd0	/floppy		auto		noauto,user	0	0

proc		/proc		proc		defaults	0	0
# End of YaST-generated fstab lines

Can anyone suggest why this is happening? Please bear with me if this is
a trivial question, but this is only my 3rd week with Linux.

Thanks and regards,

Martin Drake
Luxembourg.

Well, my Suppra i36.6 v+ connects at 115,200 as a said at kppp conf.
so... :-? Maybe the trouble is within speed negotiation between both
modems (ISPs and your one) or any AT string that's incorrect or Satan
walkin' around your serial port ;-D

Good luck and have a good one :)

You might look at

Joachim Hein
Linux Companion for System Administrators
1999 Addison-Wesley
available through Amazon or at most chain bookstores (or through your
favorite Linux web site)
I'd say this is intermediate - advanced, more toward the advanced side.
Very no nonsense technical presentation.

It has most everything you could probably want with the exception of
Samba.  For samba, take a look at

John D. Blair
Samba: Integrating Unix and Windows
1998, paper
also availablility ditto
Level is probably intermediate - advanced again.  Extremely well organized
and usable.  Has helped us a lot.

The package "xi740" contains the necessary X-Server. If XF86Setup does not
work, try SaX or xf86config to get it running. If you do not get a

Maybe there is a stale pid file under /var/run. Look for diald.pid and

Hi,=20

My applixware can't connect ot my PostgreSQL database. It says:

Server: broken pipe

and according to the documentation this means that I might not have an
up-to-date version of the Postgres ODBC package. However, I got it all
from SuSE-6.0. What am I doing wrong?=20

Here's my axnet.cnf:

# axnet.cnf - axnet configuration file
libFor elfodbc /opt/applix/axdata/axshlib/lib

And my .odbc.ini:

[ODBC Data Sources]
Default =3D Postgres Stripped

[Default]
Servername =3D localhost
Database =3D wybo
Driver =3D /opt/applix/axdata/axshlib/lib/libodbc.so

Have you tried putting a setserial line in your boot.local file?
Look at man setserial.
The default serial port speeds are 9600, last time I needed to do
this back in 5.1.

Try  setserial /dev/ttyS1 spd_vhi

Hi,=20
I can't click on hyperlinks in Netscape - I can go to URLs OK using the addre=
ss
bar and pressing return, but clicking with any button on a link doesn't do
anything.  Anyone met this before?

Yes that was it. Thanks for the reply.
I had no idea about diald leaving stale pids but I can see that may have
been contributing to my past problems with diald. I couldnt understand why
it wasnt starting at boot.
Now I know what to look for.
So, should I make the assumption that if I look in /var/run and compare it
to ps x then I should remove any "stale"/ dead pids? The reason I ask is I
also notice a ppp_0.pid Id guess this is also stale... as its not appearing
in ps x.
Thanks again

I am currently using KDE1.1 (SuSE rpms), kernel 2.0.36 and SuSE6.0. But I am
experimenting some buffer overruns whenever I open applications like kdvi,
kmail. To display a dvi file of ~5 KB, kdvi takes about 1 minute, sucking
almost all the CPU and the RAM cached ( I have a pentium 200 MMX with 64 MB of
RAM)!  Not to mention bigger files.=20
I did not have such a problem with KDE1.0 under SuSE5.3 with 2.0.35 kernel. I
susoect that something on the making of the rpms went wrong. Tomorrow I will
download the source packages and try to compile all the package by myself. I
read on this list that KDE1.1 partially solved memory problems arised with
version 1.0. I am experiencing the contrary, it's like I did a downgrading
instead of an upgrading!
Anyone else has experienced that?

[] YES  [] NO  [] That's why I use Gnome

I switched to windowmaker, but I have a problem to resize some windows like t=
he
Xemacs one. On windowmaker in order to resize a window you should point the
mouse to the bottom of the window or the bottom corner, then drag it to the
desired position. The problem is that if the size of the window is bigger than
my screen (800x600) I cannot rise the bottom part hence I cannot resize the
window. Is  there any workaround to this?

[] YES  [] NO  [] DEPENDS

I wondering? I have installed Applixware with SuSE 6.0 and waiting for
the key for SO5, but one thing I noticed with Applixware the other day.
That is that it does not seem to be WYSIWYG. Mind you I only installed
and have not "tuned" the app., but am I expecting too much?

You can also use the DOS program FIPS.EXE, which you can find on many=20

Hi everyone...

I'm looking for a good linux book (english) that covers the
network/administration aspect.
The book I'm looking for should have lots of info about file security, users
rights, group rights, file permissions etc. and preferably also rights when
using the SAMBA server.
Short: everything I would need to implement linux in a commercial network.

I already have a book called Linux Unleashed 3rd edition from SAMS

I have Novell Netware knowledge and Windows NT 4.0 knowledge (did the NT4
Server Core course), I'm also "playing" with linux for 1.5 years know and
therefore I want a book for more advanced users.....

Anyone knows a good title???

Vincent

This is an annoying "feature" of the CD player in KDE 1.0 . If you close
it via the window-close button, it is still active (see the icon in the
task bar). To get rid of it, you have to use the "on/off" button on the
CD-Player window.

Hi-

I have used applix for a variety of text + graphics things and have had
pretty good luck.  Especially if I take in graphics from its own
package.  The graphics ability in wp8 seems a bit more refined because
it allows a lot more flexibility in dealing with graphics; but I like
being able to doubleclick an applixwords linked graphic and getting the
graphics editor to come up.  My printing jobs have somewhat
demonstrated that I often have to go back to a page with text and
graphics and do a minor amount of fiddling.  Unfortunately, staroffice
5 seems to do better at this for me and wp8 seems to do the best.  WP8
is quite refined with the full cd version at editing graphics within
wp.  I know others have used applix more; but to me its quite usable
and functional.  There are better.  As a sidenote, SO5 is a definitely
a resource pig.  On a Dell Inspiron 7000 laptop with a Pentium II 366,
8mb AGP card, 128mb of system memory, SO5 takes fully 30 seconds to
load that rediculous desktop.  WP8 comes right up as applix does. I am
at the point now of looking at solutions and what will survive for me.=20
I ordered the filter upgrade for SO5 out of curiosity only.  I believe
that when corel releases its full linux office suite we will see a
redefining of what a suite has to be.  I am hoping that the corel suite
provides that bridge.

It's easiest to edit the /etc/mail/*.mc file and run it through m4 to
create the /etc/sendmail.cf file, e.g.

m4 /usr/share/sendmail/m4/cf.m4 /etc/mail/linux.mc > /etc/sendmail.cf

More documentation than you're likely to ever need should be in
/usr/doc/packages/sendmail and /usr/share/sendmail.

/usr/share/sendmail/README is a good place to start.

Or perhaps is it iconified (docked) when you close it?  In that case try
to close it with the close button inside de application, *not the window
close button*.

Have a good one.

You might wish to write a series of articles to Linux Journel or the New
LINUXmagazine (www.linux-mag.com) because I have found articles a way to
pre-test chapters and raise visibility.

Linux Juornel publishes a quarterly Linux in Enterprise suppliment to
subscribers. Check it out.

KDE and Gnome ("I want to tell you a story, about a little Gnome, faaar
from home....") have both high curb appeal to the Suits. Desktops calm
them.

In that the new KDE 1.1-1 requires corba-1.1pre2-3.i386.rpm  I suspect a
KDE/Gnome convergance in -3 years perhaps.

I find the new koffice suite promising too, espescilly (sp!) in that
WordPerfectSuite2000 for Linux is maybe a fortnight away.

I run Applix.  It is WYSIWYG for me.  I am very pleased with it.  It
read an rtf document perfectly, and my WP8 choked on it and gave me
blacked out pages.

Hi,
    I've heard strange voice about qt, and therefore KDE, which is based on
them. It seems that QT are developed over a wicked licence type, which
allows Trolltech to make money with them, and limits the freedom of
redistribution, etc. I got those infos on www.rustcorp.com/petition/  , but
I'd like to know more. Since I trust you better than my mother (also 'cause
my mother don't knows the differenc between a TV Color and a PC ;), could
you kindly explain better the point? Is really KDE so bad in moral terms?
    Thanx,
        Mano

Hello Guyz!!

I was wondering if you could help a fellow linux user in need? After a fresh
installation of SuSE 6.0 i can't boot. It keeps getting stuck right after it
ask for a password and restarts itself. Problem is it keeps hanging at the
starting syslog services prompt. All it does is stay there i thought it mighta
been cause my computer is slow but that doesn't seem to be the case as i left
it on overnight. I've tried everything i could but i stilll can't even get to
the command prompt. Then i try to just reset the system which isn't that great
itself. It gets stuck everytime i try to boot. If this has happened to anyone
could you please help me out? thanks a bunch guyz

I would suggest you de-install KDE.=20

o Grab the rpms for KDE-1.1.

o With X-Windows NOT running ('init 2'), via Yast, un-install KDE.

o Via Yast, re-install all the QT stuff off the CDs and make sure you have
  the qtcompat package included.

o Install the 1.1 rpms via rpm from the command line.

  To make it easy on myself, from a temp RPM directory I put all the KDE
  rpms in and did a command line program to make it work:

        'for i in *.rpm; do if rpm -ivh $i ; then mv $i /tmp ; fi ; done'

  and ran it until everything installed. There was one rpm I had to force,
  but I don't remember which one.

o init 3 (restart X-Windows).

o Then restart X/KDE.

I hope I got the order correct. It's what I ended up doing after I upgraded
to KDE 1.1 and had some stuff that wouldn't run similar to what you
described.

Hello !!
Did somebody found a solution for this :
In the same linuxbox :
  - 1 ethercard with dhclient ( cablemodem ISP)
 - 1 ethercard with static ip ( 128.0.2.1)

I tried to modify dhclient scripts, to run dhclient eth0 ... but nothing
work well....

An other thing, someone have a new script for the masquerading using ipchain
instead of ipfwadmin ????
 I did have to downgrade from 2.2.1 to 2.0.36 because for that

Old news, Mano.
Trolltech has coordinated their license for the Free Qt toolkit to the
GPL.  Check the site and read it for your self.

http://www.troll.no/free-license.html>

KDE is a great front end.  And Qt is a great toolkit that can be used
without worry to make and distribute GPL software, IF you have to a
desire to compete commercially against Trolltech with their own tools,
which would be unethical anyway, I think they would come after you with
their lawyers.

Germano,

This is all history.  QT is free!  That is it is under what is called QPL.

Hi,

I am in the process of evaluating Informix Dynamic Server but for that I
need to patch the kernel for >3000 file descriptors.  I am running SuSE
6.0 international (non German) version.

I obtained the kernel 2.0.36 patch file for >3000 file descriptors per
process from SuSE's ftp site.  I patched the kernel source with no
errors but when I try to compile the new kernel it fails with the
following error:

gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -V2.7.2.3 -Wall
-Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strength-reduce -pipe
-m486 -malign-loops=3D2 -malign-jumps=3D2 -malign-functions=3D2 -DCPU=3D686  =
-c
-o init/main.o init/main.c
In file included from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/types.h:16,
                 from init/main.c:17:
/usr/src/linux/include/linux/posix_types.h:47: `NR_OPEN' undeclared here
(not in a function)
/usr/src/linux/include/linux/posix_types.h:47: size of array `fds_bits'
has non-integer type
make: *** [init/main.o] Error 1

To perform the patch I used the following command from the
/usr/src/linux directory:

root(a)Seahorse:/usr/src/linux # cat ~/large-fd-2.0.36 | patch -p1 2> out

So, is the patch for a version different from the one shipped with the
international version of SuSE 6.0?  Is there a *source code* patch that
will work?

Thanks,
Avi

  Ok, I'm thoroughly confused here. Iv'e recompiled ppp-2.3.5 and the
kernel 2.2.x per the instructions both as a module and built into the
kernel. Every time I attempt to start my ppp session though it says the
following.
"This system lacks kernel support for PPP.  This could be because the
PPP kernel module is not loaded, or because the kernel is not configured
for PPP.  See the README.linux file in the ppp-2.3.5 distribution." but
it loads fine on bootup and doesn't give any errors when I attempt to
load it as a module. It just keeps giving me that error. What am I
missing here?

I wanted to try zircon which is an irc client on the SuSE 6.0 CDs and I
installed it and when I run it I get a box that says, "*** Your tcl/tk
interpreter does not have a suitable networking extention!!", and I
click OK and that's all it does. My Tcl/Tk is from SuSE 6.0 of course. I
was trying to find a user friendly IRC client other than BitchX. I'm
almost sure that I will eventually want a tcl/tk interpreter with
suitable network extentions even if I don't use zircon.

Hi there are several programs that can do this. go to download.com and
see what you can find.

if not .....

=20
 start fdisk, delete windows partition.
then use the startup disk in win98 to restart start fdisk again and
answer no at the first question, (it is somthing about using
extended....) then go to delete non-dos partitions and see if they are
there. if they are ......reboot. then start fdisk with extended support.
and create a primary that is using the whole disk reboot and
format c:/s  this could free up up your drive.
it seems like it is imposible to delete non dos partitionds with
extended support in fdisk.

i know this is kind of obvious,so dont falame me if you have done this.

Hi guys,

try this, as I think it will work.

Go into a WinDoze98 Full DOS session & start it's fdisk. You may need to
cd into windows/command; where the fdisk util lies. Type fdisk. Now, one
of the options in thier, is change Hard Disk Drives & sellect your
second drive. It will show-having selected it, (well the Doze95 version
did....), something like "non-DOS partition." Just delete that, exit the
utility; it is kind of intuitive to run & then remove the HDD, sell the
machine & have a nice day....

Hope that helps.

Bobby   :-)

Assuming your Win98 drive is /dev/hda and your Linux drive is /dev/hdb,
did you call fdisk this way:

fdisk /dev/hdb

I believe fdisk will, by default, show only the boot drive (the one with
the master boot record on it). If your boot drive is /dev/hda (the Win98
one), then you would have to run fdisk /dev/hdb to show the Linux drive,
even if you're running under Linux. If you run the DOS version of fdisk,
you probably will neither see nor be able to do anything with the Linux
drive.

SGML stands for Standard Generalized Markup Language. It's an ISO standard
language that is used to create structured documents.=20
HTML is a 'subset' of SGML, and is not used for the creation of structured
content, but for web-based content. It's not an ISO standard, either.

That's not as strange as you might think. In contrast to HTML, SGML codes tell
you nothing about the _appearance_ of a piece of text. They only tell you the
structure of the text: that it is, for example, 'Body' text or 'Heading1' tex=
t.

An SGML document, consisting of marked-up ASCII, comes with another document
called a Document Type Definition (DTD), which acts as a kind of template.

The DTD contains the rules that say, for example, that a 'Heading2' can never=
 be
followed by a 'Heading1'. This makes it easy to have many authors work on a
large documentation set: everybody uses the same DTD. When a person has finis=
hed
work on a document, he/she validates it using an SGML parser. The parser acts
like a kind of debugger: it tells you were the structure is invalid and needs
to be changed.

So actually all the time the author is working on an SGML-based documents, the
formatting codes are visible, so the author knows in what section of the text
he is working. The final layout is only created prior to publishing. The bene=
fit
of this is, that by using different style sheets, an SGML document can be very
easily formatted according to the output medium you need: screen, paper, web,
CD ROM. It's a question of mapping the mark-up codes to a different format.

This is probably one of the reasons why there are so few WYSIWYG editors: you
want text to be optimized for both screen, paper, web etcetera (think of using
the same text both in single- and three-column layout, with and without
underlined hyperlink text).

There are very few (professional) WYSIWYG editors for SGML, and I don't even
know if there are any for Linux. For WIN/Solaris/Mac there is 'FrameMaker+SGM=
L'.
A very nice package, but probably too expensive to buy as a one-off :(
There's also Adept, but I don't know anything about that.

You could go to the International SGML User's Group with your question, maybe
they can help you further ('cause I can't): http://www.isgmlug.org/>,
isug(a)dspl.co.uk

There is also an excellent book called 'SGMl Buyer's Guide'. By Prentice Hall
(http:=
//www.phptr.com/>. ISBN: 0-13-681511-1.

Ok, thanks to all for the explanations. I feel relieved. I think also that
KDE is much better than Gnome (for now; who knows in the future??), so I can
continue to use it and to work translating it without problems...

I've had this problem recently, I think it was caused by an error on compiling
the kernel. When I do mine I run a batch programme (make dep clean bzImage
modules modules_install bzlilo) I must have missed an error which caused the
problem, and as the programme just carries on reguardless, it didn't know the=
re
was a problem until I restarted. Try recompiling the kernel, and watch for
errors, failing that try reinstalling the source.

Hope this helps

Matt

Hi all,
       I posted a thread recently abt my failure to get the Adaptec=20
aic7895 scsi controller working under linux. I tried SuSE 6.0 and it=20
loaded the generic aic7xxx driver which doesn't seemed to work well. In=20
my desperation, I tried using Redhat but it doesn't work as well (Who=20
was I kidding anyway..:) ). Anyway, my SCSI HDD and CDROM are both=20
completely useless. Is there anyone out there who had success with this=20
particular controller? Lenz?

I loaded in my IDE HDD and compiled this controller into the kernel.=20
When I boot it up, it hung intermittenly. Seems like a driver problem. I=20
tried searching SuSE site for help but to no avail.

TIA      =20

First if you are just going to remove the second hard
drive from the machine, you don't need to reformat or
fdisk. Just remove it, and remove your bios setting for it.

You may need to make sure your cdrom has it's master-slave
jumper properly set after removing it.=20

You can use any fdisk to wipe it out. In dos, select
the "drive2" after starting, and just "delete non-dos
partitions".

In linux, "fdisk /dev/hdb " and delete the partitions.

Sounds like a module auto-loader problem to me. If you have=20
module loading enabled in the kernel, you don't need to stsrt
the kerneld daemon. Maybe you have both loaders going? Just guessing.

Probably "failed dependencies". The redhat rpm likes to
put a few things in different places from suse, you could
probably force it, and manually put things in their
proper places for suse, but you are asking for trouble.

I would bet the modules are stored in different places on suse and
redhat,
and your system won't work good without the right module set
in there.

Hi all---
I'm a semi-newbie (new to Suse, used RedHat before), and I was hoping you cou=
ld
clear up a couple of issues for me.

1) I compiled and installed kernel 2.2.1, and am getting 2 error messages on
start up.  One is "modprobe cannot find nls-iso8859" and the other has
something to do with Char-major-14 (I think).  What could have caused this and
how can I fix it.

2) `While going through the various logs to try to sort out the problem, I
found the message "cat uses obsolete /proc/pci".  What does this mean and does
it need to be fixed somehow?

3) After installing a new kernel, can I remove the old kernel sources and
module directories?  My system is a bit low on space since I'm running Win98 =
on
another partition for now, and I'd like to delete anything I don't really nee=
d.

I'm running Suse 6.0, btw.

Sorry if these questions have been asked before, but I'm new to the list.
Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me.

Elizabeth

I cannot locate it. The only thing loaded concerning Staroffice is
documentation, all of it referring to 3.x and 4.x releases of Staroffice.

How can I get Staroffice loaded as a single package?

There is no mention of Staroffice install and setup in the fine
manual.

Thanks for any and all help.

The bit rate includes compression, that's because you can obtain
"virtual" speeds over the *real* speed of your modem.

Have a good one.

There is an RPM (on Disc2 I think)   that you copy to your HD, expand it, and=
 then run a setup.

P.S Have your MediaKey ready :)

With the instalation you only installed the setup files. You also have to
run sosetup to install it. After this instalation you can remove the
StarOffice package with yast.

While you selected StarOffice in the pay section you should get a message
witch explains the whole thing ;-)

Do it if your kernel runs with no problems ;-)

All
    I came across this how to last nite that worked so well I thought
I'd pass it on
http://linux-howto.com/ptHO=
WTO/mini/Loadlin+Win95>

essentially you put loadlin and vmlinuz in C:\
Then add this to your config.sys and autoexec.bat
perviously Ive used a linux.bat file    C:\loadlin.exe  vmlinuz
root=3D/dev/hdc..?  ro
this gives you a nice loader menu IF you plan a dual boot have a look at
this
------------------------------------------------------------
[clipped from the how-to]
6.2.  Method 2.

  This method is a bit more involved, but offers the greatest
  flexibility. What this method does it create your own custom boot
  menu, though it does not replace the Windows 95 boot menu. You will
  need a Config.sys and an Autoexec.bat file.

  =C2=B7  First you will need to define a Startup Menu in Config.sys (my
     comments to you are in parenthesis):

______________________________________________________________________
               [menu]
               menuitem=3DLinux, Boot to Linux  (This defines a Menu Block
and gives it
               a description).
               menuitem=3DWin95, Boot to Windows 95
               menucolor=3D15,1  (This gives a blue background with bright
white text)
               menudefault=3DLinux, 15  (This sets the default menuitem
and waits up to
               15 seconds for input).

               [linux]
               shell=3Df:\loadlin.exe f:\vmlinuz root=3D/dev/hdc2 ro (Please
see Section 4
               for examples and syntax).(change this to your local drive
ie:C:\)
               [win95]
               (Include the normal contents of your config.sys file
here. If you did
               not have a config.sys file before now, then leave this
section blank).

______________________________________________________________________

  =C2=B7  Save and exit your Config.sys file. If you want, you can use this
     Config.sys template to get started.

  =C2=B7  Next, edit your Autoexec.bat file (my comments to you are in
     parenthesis):

______________________________________________________________________
               goto=20

               :win95
               (Include the normal contents of your autoexec.bat file
here. If you did
               not have an autoexec.bat file before now, then leave this
section
               blank).

______________________________________________________________________
  =C2=B7  Save and exit your Autoexec.bat file. If you want, you can use this

     Autoexec.bat template to get started. That should do it. The next
     time you reboot, you should get a Start Up menu with the option to
     boot to Linux or Windows 95.

Do you have any good answers to the following questions:

1. How can I use RPM on a distributed network?  I need to install
software in parallel on a heterogenous network of more than a hundred
Linux and SunOS hosts with a mix of local and NFS-mounted filesystems.=20
rpm -i xyz.rpm works like a charme - but for one single host only.
Any ideas, solutions, experiences?

2. How can I use RPM as a non-superuser?  I prefer to use my personal
account "czyborra" as a member of the admin group instead of working
anonymously as "root" leaving anonymous traces.  RPM often gives me
permission errors.  I cannot even read the database of installed
packages when I start xrpm: failed to open //var/lib/rpm/packages.rpm.=20
Do I just need to get my permissions straight or is RPM designed to
run for root only?=20

3. Why does http://www.rpm.org/> still point to
h=
ttp://www.redhat.com/support/mailing-lists/archives/rpm-list/> instead
of http://archive.redhat.com/rpm-list/> and why =
doesn't it inform me

I hacked /etc/printcap by hand but I'm having some problems with printing from

Emacs (when doing Print PostScript) actually print the contents of the file
correctly. If I do an 'lpr file.txt', the contents of the file run off the si=

Hello:

I'm a real newbie at Linux, having just received SuSE 6.  I specifically
purchased this distribution because I understand that it works well with my
HP notebook (OB800CT).

My dilemma is this:  I currently have a 6 GB hard disk, using only 4 GB as
the only partition so far.  It's NTFS.  Any advice on how to have Linux boot
from the hard disk with this NTFS active primary partition?  Should I have
any problems partitioning the remaining 2 GB for Linux?

I have System Commander and Partition Commander that have worked fine for
installing SuSE 6 on my FAT desktop.

Have I "boxed" myself into a corner using NTFS on "C"?

Thanks

about packages of Apache, Perl, Perl::Tk, Tcl/tK, Tix which are
nessessary to build a Linux server. Can I just install and use these
packages from standard SuSE 6.0 distribution or I should download them
from CPAN and compile them specifically for Linux ?
 Any help will be gladly appreciated

Hi all,

I've just switched my system from 5.3->6.0, and there
seems to be a problem with libc5 compatibility for=20
some programs.  Specifically, I run the motif window
manager, and it seg faults under SuSE 6, although the
same (libc5) version runs fine under RedHat 5.1, which=20
is a libc6 system.  Any ideas why mwm would seg fault
under SuSE 6?  /etc/ld.so.conf contains the reference
to the libc5 area, and the libc5 compatibility RPM
has been installed.

Also, can someone explain the warning messages of=20
the compiler (or linker) that say something like
"file.o: warning multiple common ...".  I've never
seen this warning before, and I am guessing it's
a libc6 issue?

Thanks to everyone who replied to my Staroffice problem.

It is my understanding now that there is a message displayed when the
Staroffice package is selected that tells you to run sosetup to complete the
installation of Staroffice. I guess I just missed this message during the
excitement of this install. I feel that it would of been nice if this was
mentioned in the manual for those of us that sometimes miss important messages
like this.

Thanks again.

se.com/pub/suse_update/KDE/1.1-with-qt-1.42/> ?

I see that the file klibs-1.1-7.i386.rpm is rather new, but
the file klibs.changes  hasn't been changed since February.

TIA

I have a problem with nfs and compiling.  It seems if I try to compile
from another machine over NFS I get corrupted files on my machine.  I
get source files with binary junk added on at the end.  I have suse 6.0
with 2.2.2 kernel installed.  Has anybody seen this before?

I have a dual-boot system that works pretty easily. It's a bit odd to begin
with, but it works...
1) create a linux boot disk (pick your flavour) that has fdisk on it...the
linux kind of fdisk, not DOS.
2) fdisk
    a) create your partitions 
    b)type your partitions . For a Linux/Win95 dual boot, the following
works best:
        hda1 - Linux
        hda2 - swap
        hda3 - Win95/98 (this works best as type 6, not VFAT)
    c) start by flagging the Windows partition as bootable.
    d)save and reboot
  3)install Windows first
    4)when done, use DOS fdisk to flag your linux partition as  bootable.
     5) install Linux
     6) put both partitions up on Lilo.
    7) Should take no longer than...maybe 1.5h..including the fdisk.

Hope this is useful.

Hi,
I just installed 6.0, 2.0.36 kernel.  I'm using a Matrox G200 with
16MB video ram, and xsvga. Sax let me pick driver from its list.
There is a dark section across the top of the display (at all higher
resolutions; I haven't tried low ones yet; machine is not at hand
right now). It is about 4-5 mm high.  In all other respects, the display
works very well.    The monitor was
not pre-selectable (It's a Dell-branded Sony trinitron 20"), so I
chose "unspecified".  I just
wrote in vert. and hor. refresh rates from its specs, and all seems well.  Th=
is is
not a monitor size adjustment problem: the little corner rectangles
are where they should be, only the top halves of the top ones are
blacked out.

Any ideas?  I'm brand new with Linux but have never
seen this sympton with other OSs and other boards.

Best,
jim bennett

According to the RFCs, a normal computer (not a router) should not forward
IP packages. So basically this has been wrong in earlier version of SuSE
Linux and we have fixed this by defaulting to disabling IP forwarding.

I admit that this should have been better documented.

Did you do a "make config" and set the number of open files allowed?

There is no difference in kernels between the german and the international

The problem seems to mainly occur when I have several nfs connections
open.  It seems like nfs gets confused and writes data to the wrong

How did you create the key?

You can find the correct command in /etc/rc.config:

h-keygen -b 1024 -f /etc/ssh_host_key -N ''

We have several machines with a 7895 here and they are working without
problems. Are you sure there's no hardware problem? Did you check cabling
and termination?

There is also a bootdisk available on
ftp.suse.com:/pub/suse_update/suse60/disks/aic7xxx, which contains a newer
version of the driver, but from your description I guess it's a hardware
problem.

I had almost the same problem.  In my case I purchased SuSE Linux 5.3 directl=
y from
SuSE.  It did come with a registration card and registration number printed i=
n the
manual.  However, their label printer was misaligned so neither number was
legible.  When I tried to do something about it Iwas continually bounced back=
 and
forth between sales and tech support (the latter, of course, almost always
unreachable by phone).  After a couple of weeks I finally convinced someone i=
n tech
support to issue me a new number altogether, although the person who did it d=
id it
very reluctantly and said that this was a very special exception.

Look at the modem setup string, or the modem's power up settings.
Depending on your modem, the W or X or other AT commands might control
what is displayed when the connection is made. For instance, on some
modems setting W0 causes the serial port speed to be reported, and W2
causes the data link speed (modem to modem) to be reported.

Type 'sosetup' at prompt to run install program.  You may have to cd to
the Office50 directory and type ./sosetup.  You'll need to be connected
to the WWW to finish install and register for unrestricted personal ed.

During the install you'll need a install key that either came with the
SuSE registration card or you can go to www.stardivision.com and get one
there. =20

Seems like a lot but its a good package Its worth it.

Hello!

I'm new to Linux.
While I was waiting to receive my SuSE Linux 6.0 I was playing a little bit w=
ith Debian 2.0
I couldn't setup X server for my C&T65550 laptop to get 16bpp.
I even tried with Accelerated X server - without success.

Instalation with SuSE went smoothly, and SaX configured 16bpp without a probl=
em. Great!

I'm really impressed with SuSE product - I think my best software investment =
in last years.
The package is also very nice (CDs & manual) comparing it to many products bo=
ught for OS/2 earlier.

I'm still in the process of tuning my system, but majority works OK.

My HP LaserJet 1100 prints, OK, Fujitsu 640 MB MO drive serves nicely as a ba=
ckup tool and the GIMP=20
scan nicely with UMAX Astra 1220S connected all with external SCSI CD-ROM wit=
h Adaptec 1460 PCMCIA=20
adapter.

I don't want to explain you how much trouble and time I had to put this syste=
m to work under OS/2.
Under SuSE Linux it works out of the box!

I was hesitating to jump earlier on Linux thinking that it is too much hackin=
g and now I do not have time like=20
before (playing with Coherent 3.0 in the past).
But SuSE is really nice.

I have few suggestions.
To make things more easier I suggest to automate the process of setting the f=
onts under X.

Many people are coming form the Windows world and especially for those with n=
on-Latin1 needs, there is=20
too much pain.

I need Latin-2 support, mainly under X (not in console). There is not so many=
 Latin-2 fonts around but there=20
is plenty 852 (OS/2) or even more 1250 (Windows) TTF.

Now I'm trying to setup xfstt (which works), but it's a pain to make it work =
under Applixware, because it=20
needs AFM files and so much work for fontdir.

If someone knows for a solution to convert TTF fonts with 1250 (852) encoding=
 to ISO8859-2, I'd be very=20
thankful.

Also, now I've bought SuSE 6.0 and Office 99, but in the future I'd like to h=
ave the whole SuSE Linux as well=20
as Office, but not to buy both products, doubling so many things.

For me the difference with the Office is just to have registered version of A=
pplixware, everything else is on=20
SuSE Linux 6.0

I suggest you to separately handle the Applixware upgrades, so that Office us=
ers can get the whole SuSE=20
package + Applixware.
There are still some thoughts, but it's enough for today.
Happy newbie Linux,
Sasa

Yes, and the KDE 1.1 version from SuSE was not affected, because we
had disabled mediatool.

klibs 1.1-7 was primary released for some people who had problems
with kdevelop. But it also contains the mediatool security patch.

The 'running off the side' is called the stair-case effect.
A HP printer expects a \n\r (dos-standard) and not a \n (unix-standard)
at the end-of-line.

The fix is easy.
Transform all \n to \n\r with a little script (unix to dos) or tell the=20
(HP) printer to use the unix-standard. Look it up in your printer manual.

Hint: Send a PCL-code (a Esc code) before the file.

If I read 'man 5 printcap' correct, you send the output to the printer 'ps'
on the host 'pl1hpfl7'.
It sounds like you have a PostScript printer.

You most likely need a filer to transform 'any-format' to PostScript.

As far i known there's a relation between real and "virtual" (with
compression) speed.=20

...

115200	33600
57600	28800
38400	14400
19200	 9600

...and so on...

Unfortunatly, i've no real notions about modem compression standards
works and no time to study it. Maybe anyone in this list can put a bit
of light over this question, does any?

Have a good one.

I'll break a spare...

I've had two problems with suse. I think it was on version 5.3 when i've
any kind or trouble that don't let me register (don't remember what
exactly, could be registration page was down). Anyway, i send a message
to support team with another trouble explainin' that i'm not a
registrate user because i couldn't register my suse. They answer my
question without problems.

In that version too, the first CDs burned with YaST has a trouble in
english process instalation related to partitioning HD. That's not very
serveral, as i did an fdisk from a boot disk and, with the partitions
stablished in that way, i could run the installation process without
more troubles. Anyway, i sent a mail to support team tellin about the
trouble, then they send a mail to another department wich sent me a new
CD (first of package) with a fixed YaST without charge in a few days.

Perhaps now they're a bit "overflowed" with the exponential grown of
LiNUX, i hope (and think) this is a transitory situation that *must* be
corrected anyway.

Anyway, i'd like to listen any SuSE guy explained what's up with this...

Good luck dudes, and have a good one.

(and excuse my poor english, hope you've understand (or, at least
understood) me)

Go into /etc/conf.modules and enter "alias char-major-14  off "; that
will
stop it.

I had that setup once. You are not in a bind, it will work.
Since you have Systems Commander, it can be made foolproof.
Your biggest problem is lilo may run into the 1024 cylinder
problem.

My suggestion:=20
Use system commander and move your "c" partition, which
should be /dev/hda1 over the smallest amount possible, to
make free space at the front of the drive. Then create a new
primary partition in that space and make it type ext2. This
will be number /dev/hda2. Then make another primary at the
very end of the drive, the size of your ram, this will be the swap
partition, /dev/hda3. Then make the remaining space into another=20
primary partition, and make it ext2. This will be your root
partition, /dev/hda4.
Then when you go to install linux, and you go to "select
partitions", choose to format all of your new partitions,
making /dev/hda2 and /dev/hda4 as ext2; and /dev/hda3 as swap.
Enter for mount points: /boot on /dev/hda2 ; / on /dev/hda4 .

Now the install should go smoothly, and since /boot is mounted
in the first primary, lilo will work for sure.

How do you have 'raw' defined in your printcap file?

I don't believe so.  I installed it using the tgz files (sometimes called
tarballs, I gather).  Since the world is supposedly switching to SuSE 6.x,
I'd guess it's unlikely that 5.3 rpm's will ever appear.

My installation via the tarballs took quite a few hours, but KDE 1.1 under
5.3 does seem to be working as it should.

By the way, I'm waiting for 6.1 before I upgrade.  Usually I find that it
takes a while for the x.0 version of anything to stabilize.

Hi,
One thing I'm questionable about, is on how to
patch kernels up to a new level.

Say there is kernel 2.2.0
and patch 2.2.1
and patch 2.2.2

To move my 2.2.0 source up to the
2.2.2 level, do I need to aplly the
2.2.1 patch , followed by the 2.2.2 patch?

Or can you just apply the latest patch to attain that level?

In other words is everything in the 2.2.1 patch included in the
2.2.2 patch?

The file /etc/conf.modules contains info about char-major-4 (serial
module) and char-major-14 (sound module).  I mention both because they
end with the numeral four.

Edit the conf.modules file and add

alias char-major-4 off
alias char-major-14 off

with the other alias statements.

Shack,

I believe what you want is your MS icon so you don't have to boot into DOS (y=
es 95/98 is still DOS!) I don't believe there is an emulation that will quite=
 get you there in Linux.  I
doubt there ever will be.  Sun does have such a thing for Solaris, but I have=
 never heard a good word said about it.  What you are really looking for is w=
ine:  http://www.winehq.com/> .
It's still in alpha so far as I know.    I haven't tried to use it lately, bu=
t I have run some simple wintel apps with it a while ago.

If you are serious about having a linux icon, I suggest you find a good book =
on computers such as "How Computers Work"  I have a degree in computer scienc=
e and learned a lot from that
book.  You don't  need to degree to read it.

HTH,

Steve

  Sounded like a good suggestion, but I took a look after I read your
mail and I had disabled kerneld in the rc.config file, Unless it is
fireing somewhere else that I am unaware of.

Has anyone been able to get native Java 1.2 running with native threads
under SuSE 6.0? When I tried to run the "java" program I get the
following undefined symbol error:

/opt/jdk1.2/bin/i386/native_threads/java: error in loading shared
libraries
/lib/libpthread.so.0: undefined symbol: __libc_rewinddir

In looking at the the output of ldconfig I find that I have the
following version of the pthreads library:

libpthread.so.0 =3D> libpthread.so.0.7=20

Hi ppl,

I bought SuSE 6.0 two days ago for fun and now i have a problem....

I have a 3Com Ethernet PCI Card in my computer, It works with no problem
with Solaris 7, and Linux Red Had 5.2 and FreeBSD but with SuSE it is giving
me headaches... :-(

I can see the module loaded, i use ifconfig and see the eth0 up, i use route
and see all routes and the default gateway, but that's it....
When i try to ping anything other than the 127.0.0.1 ou my own ethernet IP
address it doesn't work... It doesn't give me any message, simply i lost all
ICMP echos....
I tried to configure the 3Com with Yast and by hand, nothing works....

Anyone knows what's is missing here?!?!? I still don't understand the
configurarion files of SuSE. Too many year with Red Hat and Solaris ;-)

Thanks,

-- Sergio Silva

okay, I know that Linux isn't meant to support scaners on the printer port.

However I also know that many many problems have been sorted out that didn't
used to work.

Anybody know if scanners are ever going to work?

AFAIK you must apply each patch in numerical order. I was runnung 2.2.0 and
over the last week or so applied patches 2.2.1 then 2.2.2 and last weekend
patch 2.2.3 - no problems. Also you cannot use a wildcard i.e patch*,
because the * wildcard uses ASCII order and not numeric order.

I have a Connor tape drive connected to my floppy interface. Device is
/dev/ftape. Taper works okay with it. Tar works okay with it. mt -f
/dev/ftape status returns okay. But afio anything gives me "/dev/ftape"
Invalid argument. Latest version of afio.

Actual command:

afio -Zvo /dev/ftape < filelist

Actual message:

afio: "/dev/ftape": Invalid argument

Any ideas why this wouldn't work?

Ciao,
I am running KDE1.1 on a SuSE6.0 with a 2.0.36 kernel, pentium 200MMx 64 MB
RAM.=20
I have xfstt installed from the rpm I made
(http://adriatico.prisma.rm.cnr.it/~mau=
rizio>). There are 334 TrueType fonts
indexed on /usr/ttfonts which is a soft link to /mnt/msdos/windows/fonts. On
the file fonts.dir are listed only 145 fonts belonging to the families: arial,
comic, courier, futura, human521,impact,times,verdana,wingding.=20
Nevertheless,all the fonts are correctely displaied on Gimp, Netscape, or on
the font selection menu in any of the KDE applications.
I have noticed that the first time I open kmail or an html document with kfm,
they takes a long time before displaying the document. Then, they behaves
normally. If I uninstall xfstt, this sympthom disappears.
Could you please do a little test and tell me if you have the same behaving?
In the xfstt FAQ there is a note on a possible buffer overruns of some
applications which cannot handle correctly the "huge number of fonts,
proportional and scalable fonts and the big glyph sizes Xfstt can provide".
I sent a mail to Stefan Taferner - the author of kmail - about this problem a=
nd
he told me:

"...I have xfstt running without problems. Seems that you have another
problem here..."

Before dismissing xfstt and try xfsft (which requires a bit more work than
xfstt to compile), I would like to receive your feed-back.

I got the KDE1.1 rpms from:
sunsite.cnlab-switch.ch

 I had not such a problem with KDE1.0 SuSE5.3 kernel 2.0.35 and the same
amount of tt fonts.

Thanks,

Maurizio

Yes, have a look at the spec file in the apache.xxx.src.rpm package

I needed to get JRun working on it. In the end I removed SuSE's apache
completely and instead I use one I cook myself straight from apache.org.
It has the side-benefit (IMHO) of putting it all in one place.
Everything except the binaries in /usr/local/apache.

hi richard, What exactly is the problem ? i missed the original
question.
If you are just configuring a single machine with a standard dial up
internet account then the procedure given in chapter 7.6 of the SuSE
manual,setting your configuration file with YaST, should work fine, . It
did for me :p

Mmmm, I do get the same thing each time the maximal mount count is reached -
does anyone know how I could fix this?  Is there something like tune2fs or
similar which could stop/check this recurring problem? To fix the errors
reported, I usually use something like (from memory)?:

e2fsck -f -b 8193 /dev/hda3

this works until max mount count is reached the next time.  Perhaps it is
insufficient?
k.
p.s. I use 'shutdown -h now' to shutdown the machine - could this cause a
problem if I do it from a desktop like KDE as opposed to logging out?  (this
is rare, though, as I don't like KDE!).

Francisco,

Rather than using make zImage, use make bzImage - it allows for much
larger compiled kernels.

I've been  trying to get my printer working for some time now.  However
whenever I print something it goes to the queue and sits there.  lpq
returns this error and lists the print jobs pending.

waiting for lp to become ready (off line?)

The printer is an HPIII that works great on my 98 laptop, but is failing

on my SuSE 5.3 using a AN430TX MB.  I've never used this mb for anything

else to test the ATX LP1 port, however it is new (not used till now) and

I have no other reason to doubt the port.

Any thoughts that could help me get it running would be appreciated.

George

If that package is configured with the script 'configure' you can set
the installation directory with the '--prefix=3DPATH' parameter. It sould
be documented in the README file.

I am betting that the image is too large to boot.  You have two options
in this case.  Run the make config again and use modules wherever
possible to reduce the size of the kernel. (This is the cure I would
prefer)  You may also substitute "make bzImage" for the "make zImage"
command.
=20
Modules may be used for any drivers not needed to boot the system.
Network card, ppp, those kinds of things.  If you do this be sure to
select loadable module support in your make config.

hope that works for you,
Allen

Hmm, I guess, he was more referring to starting Linux via "loadlin" by
klicking on an icon. AFAIR, we have instructions in our manual about
this...

I assume, you need to be root to properly install packages. Anything else
(querying the database or building packages) should work without root
privileges.

Wow! You can do that?  Does this mean that you have a loadlin icon on your
9x desktop that will cause loading to boot Linux and replace 95 as the
running OS?  I am confident that Linux will not run "under" 9x.  How does
this work?  It seems to be a bit dangerous. If you have files open in 9x
wouldn't you lose your work when Linux started?

Ok, I can RTFM if you don't feel like going into it.  I probably won't look
into this I haven't touched 9x in months.  I use Solaris, NT, and Linux.

Sendmail on SuSE 6.0 is configured vi the variables in /etc/rc.config and
the files in /etc/mail. Have a look at /etc/mail/README for further info.

which kernel do you use? I had some trouble after switching to 2.2.x
which device do you print to? did you accidently use the wrong /dev/lp??

try to =C5=BDcat textfile >/dev/lp0=C5=BD and look for reaction. (next, try l=
p1
and lp2)

is there anything helpful in /var/log/messages like:

o the online signal is not sensed.
this reminds me a bit to my problem (2.2.3 kernel) In my case, some
parameters for my printer module were missing in conf.modules:

alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
options parport_pc io=3D0x378

Mine's exactly the same, but I updated 5.3 to 6.0 rather than doing a
new install. Also I'm running sendmail 8.9.3, but all I did was to build
it, and copy the relevant files across from the build dir to their
existing counterparts on the installed system, and remake the config
file as above.

Is your m4 config file in /etc/mail called linux.mc? If not, that may be
why m4 falls over. You should at any rate have a file in that directory
with an .mc extension. back up your existing /etc/sendmail.cf file and
run m4 on the *.mc file to recreate it. i.e. if you have a file called
SuSE.mc, then try

m4 /usr/share/sendmail/m4/cf.m4 /etc/mail/SuSE.mc >/etc/sendmail.cf

The docs I pointed you to describe the config options that can be
entered into your .mc file which will reconfigure sendmail accordingly
when you rebuild the sendmail.cf file and restart it.

I know basically what modules are and why they are used (to keep the
kernel as compact as possible, etc). I recently came across the term
"modularized kernel". Now I know that all linux users make use of
modules, right? Why use a term like that; I doubt there are linux users
who don't use modules at all, so I can't imagine it's  term to
distinguish it from a "non module" kernel. Is it just a term to describe
the animal or is there more to it? Just curious - I'm a newbie.

I've done that successfully.  But I'm curious: is there any disadvantage
of using make bzImage, even when it isn't necessary?

Hi,

After upgrading to KDE 1.1 my kppp fails with error 'Helper app died',
why?
I know this was asked earlier but I deleted the thread without reading
it.
My apologies! Can someone kindly explain, again?

Thanks,

Obviusly, decompression of the kernel requires time.

Hi all,
i don't get kppp working. i believe that kppp misses some basic facts
and i don't know where to get them. my provider is t-online and i asked
them for some things like default gateway, subnet mask, domain-name,
DNS-IP-adress etc. but the the service couldn't give me an answer (no
answers concearning non-tonline-software).
when i try to configure a ppp-connection via yast it shows me only some
things like the nameserver (194.25.2.129), the POP3-server etc. but not
the things mentioned above.
i visited already the suse-support-databank but didn't find anything
about this special problem. maybe i don't need them at all? Are the
default-settings right? i=C5=BDve got an 56k diamond supra e external modem.
any options needed or problems known about that?

omebody mumbled 'newbie'? yes, right.

thanks for help!

I don't mean to annoy anyone.  But I would like to know if there is a
way to get rpms to upgrade what is needed to get the 2.2.x kernels
working correctly with SuSE6.0.  Looking at
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/CHANGES and seeing what the recommended
versions of the software, it doesn't appear that everything is "up to
snuff".  Running 2.2.3 at home I can now no longer do a man on
anything.  I know it is my own fault for just installing the kernel. I
did put the old kernel in my lilo.conf so I can switch back.  This new
kernel is incredibly fast and also supports my cheap radio card in
video4linux.  I can get the .tgz's and compile myself...But when I
upgrade to newer versions of SuSE it has problems...I was thinking
this was due to all of the packages I installed from source.  Is there
an easy way to make rpms from my compiled source?  I know RTFM.  But I
really don't have the time now.  I was hoping someone could shed some
light on this for me...Thanks

It's easy. It's a big jump from 2.036; but it's a=20
about the same menuconfig as 2.2.0.
By the way 2.2.3 is the current latest.

Works fine for me.

If you are using the 2.036 kernel, you're probably on /dev/lp1.
Make sure you don't have a conflict with your sound card and your bios
has irq7 assigned to the printer port. Sound should be on irq5
in your case.

Does it work as root, but not as a user?
Do you have the lpd daemon started in yast?

Can you "cat textfile > /dev/lp1 " ?
If not check irqs.

If you can, then make sure the lpd daemon is started.

If root can use the printer, but users can't; then you
must add the users to the lp group.

The opposite of a "modularized kernel" is a "monolithic kernel", with
everything built in to the kernel. These can be huge and wasteful.
The modularized kernel refers to a kernel design which is capable
of using modules. The kernel can plugin chunks of code as needed,
then remove them later. This is very efficient and configurable.

Compile them yourself to be sure all the modules are correct.

I'm running 2.2.3 right now, and made no package upgrades to my suse6.
Man works fine.

It takes less than a half hour to compile your 2.2.3 kernel and modules,
from a tgz source package. The biggest time consumer is going
thru the make menuconfig to customize your kernel.

Hi all!

Well, that's it:

When i change the text mode in a document that i'm writting with LyX to
 only the first word is used as the described term. Is
there any way to do that more words are used as that?

By example, I write this:

SuSE LiNUX is the best operating system that i'd never used.

Now, i say LyX that test is a description, but only the word SuSE is
bolded but i want to describe SuSE LiNUX, not just SuSE.

TIA.

        Ummm....uhh, I accidently deleted /var.  I'd been trying to move
from 2.0.36 to 2.2.3 off and on all day, and finally got it working when I
remembered that "make bzlilo" was sticking everything in / these days.
So, I did a "mv v* boot" and "mv S* boot".  I changed to my boot directory
and saw that var had found its way there, too...and forgetting that I
mv'ed, not cp'ed, decided to "rm -rf var".  Ouch.  Yes.  I *really* did
that. I didn't even realize what I'd done until the kernel started looking
for stuff in /var and couldn't find it... <:(  never claimed to have any
common sense...
        So, do I have to reinstall SuSE (i'm using 6.0), or is there
another less time-consuming way to resurrect my precious directory? =20

May the Gods forgive me for this cardinal blunder...

The 'shutdown -h now' command tells Linux to halt the system
immediately, as opposed to '-r" which tells it to reboot.  These two
options are the only good ways to shutdown or reboot your system.

If you have disk errors each time you boot up, even after a correct
shutdown, then perhaps your hard disk is telling you it is about to go
south.

But are there Linux users who actually use a monolithic kernel - is there a
reason why one should use one (these days)?

I recently installed SuSE Linux 6.0 and am trying to
get my SoundBlaster PCI128 to work.  I installed
the ossdemo package from the CD, but when I try to
run oss-install I just get:

oss-install:command not found

I then tried downloading the latest version from the
4front web site, but get the same result.

Any help would be gratefully received; I would like
to get my sound card working.

Great article.
IDG.NET also published a article by Frank Hayes that parroted the
Microsoft party line about NT being as cheap as Linux to install.
I did a cost summary of the upgrade to Win95 and NT on the workstations
and servers where I work, not counting replacing 3rd party software that
the "upgrades" to the M$ OS requires because it broke them.
When the upgrade from WFW 3.11 was completed we had replaced all of our
386 and 486 machines with 586 P75's and higher.  It took three years. =20
We didn't include CDROMs or SOUND cards and the boxes averaged $1,500. =20
Now, M$ is asking us to begin cycle of "upgrading" to machines that have
128MB of RAM and 10GB of HD and a fast video.   Assuming the same avg
cost of $1,500 the NT 2000 "solution" will cost about $510,000 including
hardware and license costs.
Because Linux can use our P266 machines with 32 and 64MB of RAM just
fine, and the 4.3 Bigfoots are also more than enough, ONE SuSE will do
the whole thing for $50.
According to Frank, $510,000 is about the same as $50.  And my 95 yr old
mother-in-law is as beautiful as Cindy Lawford.
Even if we give each workstation a complete distro so they can have the
manual, which is well worth the cost, the total cost is only $10,000
which is still WAY BELOW the NT "solution".

First, you don't set up kppp through yast.  Kppp has its own setup and
can be done by clicking kpp then going to setup. =20
 Your ISP will definately have to give up the DNS and ip information but
then they have that info and should be glad to do so.  If the first
person you talk to refuses to give it to you ask him/her to transfer you
to another.  (They have no good reason not to give you the information
you need to connect.)  If they are stuck on the "use our software only"
thing you can always tell them that you accidentally deleted that
information from your setup.

Since you have already done some ppp setup through yast it is important
that you go to edit /etc/ppp/options and comment out the line that says
"lock".  Just add a # in front of it.

If all else fail write me with the location of the t-online you dial
into and I will get the dns information for you by asking another user
of the service.

I imagine if you had a Linux box dedicated to a certain specific set of
services it might make sense to build a kernel specially tailored to those
services.  In that situation you would probably be as well off to include
the required functions in the kernel rather than building them as separate
modules.=20

Ctl-Space between the words you want to include in the described term.
Likewise, Ctl-Enter to bind multiple lines together, like in an address.

I prefer to keep my scsi, ppp, printer, and ethernet built
right into the kernel.
Maybe monolithic kernels are more secure under certain conditions?
Maybe you can't teach old dogs new tricks?
Maybe people don't like to deal with conf.modules?

The directory that oss-install is in is not in your path.  To run it
use:  ./oss-install
This tells the OS to look in the current dir for the program.

... so I'm now working from home, and I wanted to set up my SuSE 6.0
workserver to be a server for the websites I'll be developing, and I new
I wanted to set up a DNS server to provide a local private domain for
the home network - and in addition have virtual hosts in Apache.

I've already got my own-cooked Apache, as I've mentioned before.

... So I went to the howtos in /usr/doc and found the how-to on setting
up DNS, and it seemed to be exactly what I was looking for except, what
should I find but that SuSE 6.0 installs named BIND-4, and the how-to is
for BIND-8 which is *substantially* different. Completely different
configuration file format. As the link to the BIND-4 how-tos was dead, I
had no choice but to install BIND-8.

Thankfully, this happened quite easily, after all my trepidation about
fiddling with something so fundamental. I downloaded the BIND-8.1.2
sources and followed the instructions to compile and install it, and it
works perfectly. (Imagine my annoyance when a few *hours* later BIND-8.2
was released!) I had to adapt a bit to get reality close enough to the
how-to examples for me to continue and do the *new* stuff, but the
initial conversion using the named.boot to named.conf converter given
worked perfectly. The only fly in the ointment is that I still only have
the BIND-4 man pages.

But anyway, apparently BIND-8 is The Thing these days, more secure etc.,
and definitely a nicer file format to work with, and even I managed to
get it working without much pain and I'm hardly a guru (yet :-}). So why
does SuSE still go with BIND-4? (And only provide how-tos on BIND-8?)

Most likely, this is because the directory with the oss-install file isnt
in your path. You need to specify that you want to run it from that
directory which is outside of your path, by running ./oss-install
(note the dot and slash in front of the command).

You must specify the full path to the executable. In LiNUX the current
directory is not generally added to PATH environment variable due
security issues.

Well, then if you are at the directory where oss-install executable
resides then simply type:

./oss-install

If you're in another place, type the full path:

/tmp/oss-x.x.x/oss-install

(^Ficticius path obviusly ;-))

Have a good one.

yeah, it cracks me up when ms proponents say it's cheaper to run NT or 98

ok, have done this but now I appear to be getting a daemon error.

This is from messages:
Mar 16 14:50:11 LINUX1 lpd[119]: restarted
Mar 16 14:53:40 LINUX1 kernel: lp1 at 0x0378, (polling)

ctory
Mar 16 14:56:15 LINUX1 syslog: lp: /usr/spool/lp1/hpjlp: No such file or dire=
ctory

And I get this:

LINUX1:/home/mentor # lpq
Warning: no daemon present
Rank   Owner      Job  Files                                 Total Size

Now when I boot and shut down I see the statement "lpd starting" or "stopping=

 So I'm not to sure what to think of the daemon.

Thank you for all your help.
George

In fact the domain I supplied in my /etc/hostname is not registered but I get

   There's been some discussion lately about the advantages of
configuring the kernel as a relatively small resident portion together
with a larger set of loadable modules.  I'm somewhat puzzled by this,
though I've often heard it.  Although in theory it's possible to load
and unload modules dynamically, my impression is that in the usual
default configuration all the modules are loaded after the kernel has
been loaded, and they're never unloaded after that.   Under those
circumstances, what's the savings?

Or is there some mechanism for loading modules automatically when
they're needed and unloading them when they're not needed?

Greetings,

With all the traffic on the list about kernels, I thought this might be
interesting.

I found an article in the Linux Gazette in which the author
states that the common belief that a linux install requires a
kernel compile scares newbies enough so that many do not try linux=20
for this reason alone.=20

He states that the popular dists ship adequate kernels and the desire to
recompile for speed is useless. Since modern pc's ship with 32MB or more
Ram, modularizing is meaningless, he adds.

Of course, the kernel recompile is scary the first time, but after that, I
find it FUN!=20

Take a look at this before you jump on me! :-)

  Your right, Linux will not run on Win9x or even NT for that matter,
but what happens with loadlin is that the computer is restarted and
booted into Linux. I can't recall if Win9x will give you an opportunity
tosave any open files or not, but I do seem to recall NT allowing you to
save open files before it reboots.
  Anyway, I hope this helps.

tune2fs should be loaded on your system in the /sbin directory and you
can change the max count by doing the following:
   tune2fs -c  
          and/or
   tune2fs -i [d|w|m] 

initial default is 20 when using -c
initial default is 6 months when using -i

  The 6 months should be fine, but the max. mnt. count (-c) should be
raised if you do alot of shutting down/restarting of your system.

  I have a similar configuration and the way I set mine up is as follows

Filesystem            Size  Used  Avail  Capacity Mounted on
/dev/hdb1             1.7G  632M   1.0G     37%   /
/dev/hda2             596M  172M   390M     31%   /home
/dev/hdb2             1.5G   95M   1.3G      7%   /usr/local
/dev/sda1             1.9G  901M   935M     49%   /drv-d
/dev/sdb1             1.0G  557M   415M     57%   /drv-e

  I used part of my 850 'hda' drive as swap, the remainder as the home
directory, I also made another drive the /usr/local directory for any
programs that I install outside the distro. Makes it easier to reformat
the main drive without risk of losing personal files that reside in your
home directory or shell scripts you may placed in /usr/local/bin
directory
  Another thing I did after installing was rename the /opt directory,
copy the contents to /usr/local and then create a sym link as /opt
pointing to /usr/local so that those files/programs don't reside on the
/ directory anymore.
  I'm currently working on setting up the 'sda' and 'sdb' drives to work
as one 3 gig drive instead of two drives totalling 3 gig. But thats
another story.

Hello, I recently got a cable modem installed (!) and it works great. I
have two machines, one is my workstation (A K6-2 400mhz), let call this
one yeaben, yeaben is set up to use the cable modem right now, on it i
have a multi-boot of Win98, SuSE Linux 6.0, & RedHat 5.2 . I Mainly use
SuSE on it.=20

Now what i'd like to do is use my second computer (A Pentium
200mmx) running SuSE 6.0, lets call this one wolf, as a server/gateway for
my little network, so wolf is always talking with the internet,
masquerading yeaben and any other computer I hook up to my hub (yeaben &
wolf are connect via 10mb HUB right now, but wolf hasnt been on the
network since the cable modem was installed because i cant get
masquerading working right)..

Ok so my problem is I want wolf to act as a DNS, & Firewall/Masquerade.
The documentation in the `hilfe' is sparse and not focused for SuSE (i.e.
refers to files that dont exist such as named.conf).=20

I'd like some help setting this up, if anyone can run over the steps i'll
need to take and/or point me to some specific SuSE documentation for
setting up a DNS or Setting up a Firewall & Masqueraded network i'd
really appreciate it.

    Thanks,
        - Nick

fmmarzoa(a)alexander:~ > rpm -qf /var
aaa_dir-99.1.7-0d=20

Well, this package only creates directories and i assume if you can
force it's installation over itself, the only results will be that
directories that doesn't not exists (as the var that you kill...
ASSASSIN!!!! ;->), will be recreated. This package should come within
the first CD of SuSE (at "base" group of YaST); you must install it by
hand anyway... locate the packate in CD's and then do a

rpm -i --force aaa_dir-99.1.7-0d.rpm

I think that should works. I didn't try it obviously ;-)...
I'm not totally sure that this will resolve your problem, so take a look
at the file that i'll send atached with this doc. It contains all the
relations between all *MY* stuff below var directory, perhaps you should
install more packages in order to recover another things.

Aditionaly, you can do an script that query files for all your rpm's
installed and list those that have any missing below /var in order to
reinstall only them.

Good luck!

During the bootup of linux i get the ff nessage and the system hangs after
that

VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly
Unable to open initial console

Note that the first line is just to show the point the error occurs.
I'm running a Cyrix 233 Media GX machine. I do have an ethernet card on the
machine but i've not configured Linux for it in any way - I'm using LoopBack
for now and my graphics card is not supported by XFree86 but noe of these
'future problem sources' can be the culprit of this problem.

Can anybody help me please? Thanks

Are we on 1.999? there's still people who thinks that computers can take

power while you're at kitchen' and get cooked you? (excuse my poor

Hello
    I have installed almost all of SUSE60 successfully (approx.3 GB) and
everything seems to be working fine.
On another PC with RH5.2 I controlled Apache from a GUI under an X Windows.
Under KDE in SUSE60 I can't  find any GUI for Apache, is there one ?

Any help would be appreciated.

Well modularization is now neccessary for most systems.
Have you noticed how many people complain about the
error message "kernel too big" ?

I think Hubert has said that the kernel must be able to boot
within the old 640k dos limit.

So Microsoft wants to let a computer and their operating system
take control of your house.......

I was just watching a TV show called "Cops"? , and they were
detailing how the new police technology was used to
subdue a gang holding a bunch of people hostage in a house.

One of the things they showed was how the cops could "take control
and lock your computer" via the internet. Before they locked it with
a "federal warrant" screensaver, they downloaded a complete file
listing of the computer.
They said it was done with
a legal trojan downloaded as part of a anti-virus update package.

Considering how corrupt things are, how much money would it take
to buy the secret federal code needed to "invade your computer".

No thanks, I'm not buying any "mysterious Microsoft" home network.

Hi,=20

I saw /etc/crontab that seems to do some useful things; and I created
a script in /etc/cron.daily that should run my daily backups. But it
doesn't get started.=20
So I ran crontab -e to put that /etc/crontab in my (root's)
crontab. Then it got active indeed, except that it generated
errors because every command starts with `root':

Can someone please help me setup a one way cable modem for SUSE 6.0? I was
told to setup a network card  and DHCP in YAST. Which I did... I think. Not
sure if I did everything right though.

Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

No, not yet. But the RPM on the WWW-Site should work on SuSE Linux 6.0, if
you install it using "rpm -i --nodeps". You need to install the required
perl libraries (perl-libnet), however.

> Will AutoRPM be included in the SuSE distribution?

I have it on my TODO-list, but I cannot promise if it will be included in
the next release.

So what directory on the  SuSE ftp site do you point autorpm to?=20
Autorpm doesn't look into sub directories for updates, it expects all of
the update rpms to be in one directory with full length names.

Any progress on the Yast DHCPCD/IP Masquerading multiple NIC issue?

Hmm, are you using the correct root partion? If you use LILO, try to boot
your system by passing "root=3D" to the kernel. Note:
do not use the partition for "/boot" as your root partition! This is a
very common pothole.

Okay, I have trashed my 5.2 setup, reformatted partitions, and finally
installed 6.0.

I am now trying to get back online from Linux.

Using kpp, I created my account, setup the modem and device, and created
a script for my ISP, etc.  This is kppp a great tool!!!  Using the log
window, I can see that I connect successfully to my ISP and that I get
assigned an IP address (my ISP uses dyanmic addresses).  However, after
getting the IP address, a bunch of garbage appears in the kppp log
window and the bottom message area says it is expecting "OK".  Needless
to say, my script ends after sending "ppp" after successfully loging
in.  If I wait, kppp hangs up and attempts to redial.

Any ideas what I did wrong here?

        Hello.

        I have setup SUSE-6.0...
        Now I have a problem with /sbin/init.d/firewall script because
        I use 2.2.x kernel. Today I change ipfwadm to ipfwadm-wrapper.
        Is it right? Do you know any others way?

/etc/crontab is the "system wide/controlled" way of doing crons.=20

'crontab -e' creates and uses individual/user modifiable crontabs.

If you use user crons, you don't put the user field in the crontab. If you
use the system wide crontab, you need the user field to tell cron for whom
the cron tolls.

Hi Nick,

The only way is to rewrite your scripts / configuration files from ipfadm to
ipchains. When you use the standard configuration for the firewall. The ones
that are supplied with suse you can download rewritten once at
ht=
tp://www.suse.de/~bb/>

Joop Boonen.

Ciao

I found out that the command "find" is very powerful (have a look at man find=
).
It can be extremely useful to remove all the kde sockets on the /tmp director=
y.
Yes, they don't occupy phisical space in the hard disk, but they do occupy
phisical space on term whenever you type ls.

Just typing:

find /tmp -ctime +1 -type s -exec rm -f \{\} \;=20

which means "Starting from /tmp find all the stuff which satisfies the
following condition":

-they are created more than 1 day ago (-ctime +1)
-they are socket (-type s)

and remove them (-exec rm -f \{\} \;).
inside the command given by exec the "{}" is a synonimous of the file which is
being elaborated.

The question, now, is:

Where do I put this command to be executed at boot time? Maybe, in boot.local?
Are there better places?

Suggestions are, as always, welcome.

Ciao,

Maurizio

Hi,

I have trouble setting up dial in server in SuSE Linux 6.0 (kernel 2.2.2)
Do you know some information I can find on the net? Most of the information
that I found was implemented on RedHat Linux 5.x and Slackware. So the new
rc.config from SuSE is a little bit to hard to understand.

Thank you in advanced.,

I'm not the guy, but at work I end all my phone conversations with "Have a
good one."  It's a short form of "Have a good day."

kerneld don't do the job + modprobe need be run by root.

I wonder if kerneld need to load a module in the begining before
starting the unload/load procedure? (I know after one minute of no use
the module is unloaded).
right?

I recently saw post in this group regard "xanim" and I finally had some
time to download and build this app.  To build "xanim" requires the use
of "xmkmf" to create a Makefile. When I tried to run make, the compile
failed on the first file since the compiler couldn't find Xlib.h. I
looked at the -I flags which make was using to run the compiler. I'm
typing this from memory so I may be wrong here but I think I saw the X11
include direct showing as "/usr/X11/include"? I looked there and there
were no X11 hearder files. Instead the header files were in
"/usr/X11/include/X11". I noticed too that the X11 header files can be
found in "/usr/include/X11" as well. My solution to this problem was to
hand edit the Makefile and then I was able to compile and install xanim.
It's nice to to be able to play .AVI files on my Linux box now. :)

As a side note I have to say that I've never had alot of luck with
building applications that require me to use "xmkmf". I think those
applications that use the "configure" script are alot nicer to work
with.

Same here. No problem with man. (Sadly, the man pages are not easier to

The documentation with xanim mentions this problem and says that the
corrective action is to edit /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config/X11/x11.tmpl

Agreed. Please read the article to see why most people will not need to
recompile.=20

I thought the issue about big kernels mainly revolved around "make zImage"
vs. "make bzImage". The times zImage didn't work, bzImage cured it, in my
experience. =20

I looked for Hubert's comment on the archive but could not find it. Could
someone clarify this "old 640k dos limit" issue? The kernel howto was not
enlightening about it.=20

Nevertheless, I will compile a humongus(sp) monolithic kernel and see if
it installs.=20

In any event, compiling kernels has been highly instructional and
satisfying.

On another note, anyone got kscd to interact with cddb? I could not, so I
installed a cli cd player called cdcd. It worked perfectly, querying cddb
and displaying the artist and titles.=20

SuSE kicks major linux butt!

Happy compiling,

Steve.

With kernel 2.2.x kmod will load modules, when they are needed.
But it won't unload them. Quote from
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/kmod.txt:

------------------------------------------------------------>
To periodically unload unused modules, put something like the
following
in root's crontab entry:

Kmod only loads modules.  Kerneld could do more (although

I did go through the X11.tmpl file but I decided to leave well enough
alone for the time being. Do you know if this is a problem with all
Linux platforms that have XFree86 on them or is it just related to SuSE
Linux? I don't use xmkmf enough to know much about. =20

Hi all,

I have found the following link:
http://www.vmware.com/download/downlo=
ad.html>. This is a link to a
virtual pc. Under which windows and other operating systems run. See
test in the web page. When you want to use it quit comfortably. You need
at least a PII 266 MHz or something comparable K6 II 300MHz. And ay
least 64 MByte ram. Advised is even 128 MByte ram. You also need the
specially written SVGA driver (at :
http://www.vmware.com/support/vmw=
aretools.html> ) And a modified XFree86
to have the maximum performance (at:
http://www.vmware.com/support/xfree86.htm=
l> ).

Regards,

Joop Boonen.

There is a buffer overflow possible problem. Go into helper applications
and
make sure you change the action for * from "default plugin" to
"unknown prompt user.

Also, I have found that the automatic mail checking will lock
the browser up when checking for mail. Go into mail options,=20
and edit the pop server entry. Choose "don't automatically
check for mail". This has helped me alot.

I have had trouble with this new compilation. First, I had to change the
cc=3Decgs to cc=3Dgcc ; even though I'm using egcs. Then I had to change the
lib
and include directories. Then it compiled, but the new codecs 4.1 and 5
don't play, I only get sound from them.

I can only get the older 3.2 codec by compiling it in, as in the older
version.

The new codec is suppossed to be a dll , and is supposed to in a
directory
defined by XANIM_MODS_DIR?

Has anyone got the 4.1 and 5 avi's to play with this dll?

I think bzImage just compresses better, so as we are reaching the=20

I was thinking some more about this. Wouldn't it be possible to have a
standard
small kernel which loads, then hands control over to a kernel of any
size?

Try a 5 meg for size. :-)

I use the kernel module loader in the new 2.2.* kernels, and I thought
I read that it does remove unused kernels?
What is the "autoclean" mean when I do a lsmod?

Hi all. I'm trying to configure an Ensoniq 1869 in my laptop. When I was
using Kernel 2.0.? I was able to use OSS3.7.1z as provided with the
distribution. Then, I went to 2.2.1 (from a CD). No OSS.

So, I hit the books. I did the whole pnpdump > /etc/isapnp.conf thing. I
compiled sound modules into the kernel. But when I looked at
/dev/sndstat I got nothing.

Having previously been successful in getting sound working in Red Hat
5.2 using sndconfig with kernel 2.2.1, I pulled sndconfig off my Red Hat
dist. ensuring that I met all the dependencies that the sndconfig
package called for. Didn't work, then I fiddled (use --noprobe
--noautoconfig with no modules loaded) and it worked. Hooray, I thought.
But, upon rebooting- no sound!

So, I went back to the whole pnpconf thing. I did things like compiling
pnp support into the kernel (which seems to id the card correctly) and
removing automatic isapnp.conf reads during bootup via yast.

No luck! I'm past the frustration stages, and the desperation stages and
am at the resigned & patient stages. Suggestions?=20

This bug has convinced me finally to upgrade to SuSE 6.0

------ Forwarded message ------
       From: yocum(a)fnal.gov
    Subject: [linux-security] CIAC Bulletin J-035: Linux Blind TCP Spoofing
       Date: Wed, 17 Mar 1999 13:48:12 -0600
         To: linux-security(a)redhat.com
         Cc: yocum(a)fnal.gov
Return-Path: 

...

PROBLEM:       An implementation flaw has been identified in the Linux TCP/IP
               stack.
PLATFORM:      Linux kernels up to and including 2.0.35.
DAMAGE:        Remote attackers could forge TCP connections without predicting
               sequence numbers and pass data to the application layer before
               a connection is established.
SOLUTION:      Install upgrade.
______________________________________________________________________________
VULNERABILITY  Risk is high. To eliminate this vulnerability, kernels below
ASSESSMENT:    version 2.0.36 should upgrade as soon as possible.
______________________________________________________________________________



Not that I had needed the conviction. However, SuSE-USA was so far
unable to give me a price quote on version 6.0 which I needed for my
purchasing department. As far as I am concerned their e-mail addresses
must be pointing to /dev/null. No response despite several tries
starting in mid-January. No response even after I asked the German SuSE
people to intervene on my behalf. They must not be needing my business
apparently. Perhaps if I complain loud enough on this mailing list that
will change by the time 6.1 rolls around?
Anyway, the bug forced me to upgrade to 6.0 via ftp install, and I
suggest all users with kernels of 2.0.35 and lower to also upgrade. I
don't have a good feeling about how dangerous this bug really is to
allow a remote root compromise (Lenz, any comments?), but having been
burnt once before, I'd rather not take any chances.

Best regards, Alex.

Hi all!
I am new to this list, since the french one fall appart...
Well I have a rather complicated problem : I want to set up a suse 5.3 or
6.0 with tow network adapters. One have to be in dhcp, and the other have to
use a fixed address. But in Suse, you can only use dhcp or fixed addresses,
not together!! I tried to modify a bit the network init scripts, it worked
at startup, but then the dhcp client does not renew its lease, so adress is
lost...
Did someone manage to setup a config like mine, using tow network adapters,
one using dhcp, the other on,e using a fixed address?
Thoms

I recently failed miserably at my first newbie attempt to install SuSE=20
Linux 6.0 on my home built overclocked Celeron 300a system.

Specs in case anyone actually cares:

Inwin A500 case with 300 watt power supply, dual case fans
Celeron 300a, overclocked to 450 mhz, 4.5 mhz locked clock
multiplier x 100 mhz front side bus setting. (the processor has
posted and run well at 464 mhz, haven't tried 504 mhz yet)
Glacier 4500C, triple fan/heatsink processor cooling unit.
IBM 12.9 gig deskstar 7200 rpm ultra dma hard drive
Kenwood True-52X 7 laser head cd-rom drive
Diamond Monster Sound MX300 Soundcard
Creative Labs 16 Meg Banshee video card, with a dual fan cooling
unit.
19" Monitor ... blah, blah, blah, blah...and yes there are 7 fans in
my case!

Anywho ... I had problems relating to hard drive partitioning,
was using Powerquest's Partition Magic, in hopes of having
a Win98 and Linux dual boot system. Not to mention that
the Banshee card seems to be unsupported by XFree86 so I
wiped out the partition and gave up! Lame I am .... yes.

So essentially I'm looking for any advice in regards to
what video card I should go out and buy ... NVidia TNT
based or what? I will say that I HATE ati cards and would
rather not deal with the garbage they sell. I want something
that will kick ass in 2d as well as 3d.

Sound card? MX300 ... lost cause? Partitioning ... any=20
advice that anyone who's used Partition Magic can offer?
I successfully set up a Win98/NT Server dual boot configuration,
took no friggin time at all and have been developing software=20
as a profession for the last 10 years (with quite a good record of=20
success) so I don't think I'm a lost cause. but Linux makes me feel=20
stupid, despite some Unix C development experience (Apertus=20
Technologies Enterprise Access if you're interested, middleware
screen scraping "stuff", interfacing with legacy mainframe app's)
on Solaris and EXTENSIVE experience with an IBM RS6000 running
AIX, 6 - 604 processor's, 1.5 gigs of ram and 200 gigs of DASD and
IBM DB2/6000.

I've spent $400 on win98 license's recently and I won't tell you what my
copy of Visual Studio Enterprise Edition cost me ... please help
me break my microshaft shackles!

And what's up with USB peripheral (keyboard and mouse) support
for Linux?

later,

Jon

  boot.local is where you would put anything you want loaded/ran right
after the system bootups. You could create a routine similar to the
other routines within the /etc/rc.d (/sbin/init.d) directory. But seeing
as how small your routine is, that would be overkill.

I did something like that with my /etc directory.
Since it wasn't so long after the intallation I just copied
the etc directory of the live system into my /etc and
it fixed most of the problems.

Hi,
yes ... it's perfectly right ... you shouldn't encounter any problems with
ipfwadm-wrapper
but, on the other hand, you should laern somedays how to work with
ipchains 'cause (at least i hope so) this will be the standard firewall
manager for all 2.2.x kernels.

  The way I understood it was minimum requirements (for linux) was a
standard PC with Pentium or equivalent. Pentium II or equivalent,
recommended. Was I mistaken?

Yes, boot.local is a very good place for such things.  Probably at the end of=
 the
script, following the call on rc.config.

Although they should include GNOME 1.1 and the new Xanim. ;)

Hi there again everyone, Happy St Patricks day!

Well, we just got a shiny new etower with built in rage card and
whizzy K6, its really nice. I installed 6.0 flawlessy in half an hour,
told it during the install that our new 56k HSP Micromodem (PCI card)
lived on com4 under dos.

I then set up a ppp device in yast and typed in ISP info, just as I
did in 5.3 Then I removed the lock option in /etc/ppp/options and
typed all the info into kppp.

I click connect and it says "Modem busy" Does anyone have any advice?

I don't think its a winmodem it doesn't say that anywhere. In 5.3 I
got it to work by following the steps I told you above and it worked.

Should I just go back to 5.3? Please help if you can!

Cheers!
Dom

Hello:

I'm pretty much a newbie with Linux and need some help getting my
Crystal CS4232 sound card to work.  I'm running SuSE 6.0, with kernel
2.2.2.  I recompiled the kernel last night to be absolutely sure I had
included support for the sound card.  I have followed the instructions
in the SuSE manual and run pnpdump and then edited isapnp.conf choosing
the same options for both the modem (Motorola PnP) and the sound card
that worked under Win 95.  (The modem works fine with Linux.)  When I
ran:
        /sbin/isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf

I got the following output (slightly abridged):

        ModemSURFR 56K enabled OK

        CSC4232 {WSS/SB}: enabled OK
        CSC4232 {Game  }: enabled OK
        CSC4232 {MPU   }: enabled OK

Then when I ran:  cat /dev/sndstat I got:

        "Operation not supported by device."

Can anyone suggest what I might do next?

Thanks,  George

For Xanim, I skipped the xmkmf and wait right to a make xanim.  Why--well that
is the way I had done the compile under the last version of Xanim.  Basically
involves manually changing the Makefile beforehand instead.

IP masquerading seemed much easier with 5.3. With 6.0, we just
can't get it working properly, went through the howto's did everything
we read about and still no good. The ip masquerading module loads at boot
time, but nothing gets through.

Would someone with a lot of experience please take the time
to write out the steps to follow to get ip-masqurding working
with SuSe 6.0? At this point, we have changed so many things
in an effort to get it working that we may have set something
wrong.  We use wvdial for our dialer, which worked well with
SuSE 5.3  and ip masqurading, but not sure if that could be
a problem with 6.0.

Any information that you care to offer will be sincerely appreciated,
maybe someone could eventually write up some kind of script
to step people through the process, make it as easy to use as
In-joy for OS/2 :)

thanks in advance,=20

Issue a "cat /proc/interrupts" command and look at the irq listings.
It will tell you what irq's your box is using.  Your modem may be using
TWO irq, one at 4 and perhaps the other at 9 or 10.  You may have to
reassign some irq's. (Change jumpers on your modem card, your printer
card, etc., to jocky your irq assignments around till you get a pattern
that works.

So, what have you done to confirm that ViSta has access to the Dialogs
feature other than just compiling Xlisp_Stat?  Set an config settings,
etc...???

Actually I went ahead and allowed it to print through the 98 machine and it
works rather nice.

However I want the linux box to serve, not the 98 box.

COM4?=20
Are you sure your modem isn't sharing an interrupt with something else?
If you go into minicom, can you reset the modem?
Can you reset the interrupt to COM1 or COM2?
Can you reset the modem in minicom if it's set to COM1 or COM2?

That ought to keep you busy for a while ;-)

Yes, I have.

Did you download the dlls? They are not included in the source tar
ball but must be downloaded separately. I got them from

Many thanks to all who answered my query; I now have a working sound
setup.  After much headscratching I have also managed to get my
HP LJ4L to to print it's output each line under the previous one...

Next to kppp, which get through the initial login, password and
protocol then terminates with an error (the ppd daemon died unexexpectedly).
I am using Demon Internet, and have obviously set something wrong.

Yes, use the SMTP server of your provider instead of your local SMTP server

Thanks, but " Have a good one" is not shorter than "Have a good day". Must be

I use kscd and it can iteract with cddb. I just had to fill in the proper
informations (artist and titles) and now every time I put in an audio cd I get
those informations displayed.

DHCP stands for dynamic host configuration protocol, nothing says that=20

I believe that this means that kppp cannot lock the device which it=20
does by creating a lock file in /var/locks IMSC. You may find that kppp=20
doesn't have permission to do this. IMHO it should have the same=20
permissions as ppp i.e. setuid root but only executable by group.

find /tmp -ctime +1 -type s -print | xargs rm -f
is more efficient and easier to type without those backslashes.

I think that it was SuSE's /root/bin/cron.nightly that was run both at
boot time and every night.  It also runs an update of the locate(1)=20

I keep wondering when enough corps will just say enogh is enough. No
upgrades , well stick with what we have.=20
the only option we have as a consumer is to vote with our dollers. If a
signiificant No. say no , they will have to listen. I mean upgrades used to
be 30.00 , now your looking at $90.00 for "beta" versions , which break
every thing , and dont run as "advertized" . Have you tried win98 with 16
meg of ram..

Its not only Mickysoft , but Intell as well. There is a constant "push in
the new , push out the old every six months. The more hardware they push
the more bloated the software comes out. Give me a break.

To telll the truth , I have been running linux for 8 mos or so , fist tried
it on a 486 , and as a simple samba server w no x , it ran circles around
windows as far as sharing. Now I have it loaded on my desktoop  , and on my
old desktop (p166 runing samba) and it has NEVER EVER CRASHED OR HAD A
HICUP ONCE THE HARDWARE AN SOFTWARE WAS CONFIGURED/SETUP. My only gripe has
been with the sis6326 suppoer , and Lenz was on the ball and ststed upfront
that there were problems on it and that xfree was working on it. Try that
with Micky soft. =20

Hmm , think where you can spens the other 400,000 or so ???
Last six months have been amazing , witha all the software and hardware
manf jumping onto the fray. Its scary , immagine software and drivers for
ever thing that work ,Billy will be in hot !@$#

The majotr roadblock is application on the desktop. We need more apps. Give
the apps , and some one will fix/deal with the install isues. Open source
will allow this to happen.=20

I once read that Linus fooled the pc bios by making the kernel an image
of a bootable floppy. If it's right, the kernel image can't be more than
1.44Mo (may be 2.88 on some bioses).

Did you look in /etc/conf.modules? Make sure, that you pass the right
parameters for this card. Does the driver's output in /var/log/messages
match the hardware parameters (IRQ, I/O-Address). Also make sure, that you
do not have an IRQ conflict.

ROFL

I tried my fist comile on a 486/66 with 4meg ram. Took me over a week to
get a kernal that would comi\pile with out an error , that would load. Had
to start the compile and leave it overnight.

Talk about fustrating 

Funny thogh . since installing suse on my p166 and amd400 , I havent yet
needed to recomplile.=20
But now I know I wont have to leave it run.
Reminds me of when I started programing wirh clarion 1/2 start the complile
, go have a  cupo of coffe and come back 20 minuts latter. These bnow
complier and faster chips are great.

I am sorry for the dumm question, but I just opened
my box of SUSE 6.0 (international edition) and I am=20
somewhat buffled.=20
On the box it is clearly indicated in several places
"900+ applications on 5 CDs". Inside though there
are only four CDs (and a floppy). What gives?

Is there a single source ie HOWTO describing all the tricks, dangers and
glitches in migrating from 5.3 to 6.0?
I have been watching the e-mails for a while now and just bought 6.0.=20
But there seems to have been a great number of problems and fixes listed
I have lost count of them.
A single document would be a great idea.

I am dumb. And lazy.

When starting up Linux everything gets started, apache, mysql, and php.
Sometimes I do some changes to the httpd.conf file and want to restart
the server. How? If I kill all sessions and start the httpd I get an
error message DB_PATH must be set or something.

I tried to kill the httpd processes one by one and hoping that the new
processes would read the new httpd file, but I'm not sure they did.

Dear all

Sorry to post this question to the SuSE mailing list, but I have=20
tried both Forrest Young and Luke Tierney of ViSta and XLispStat fame=20
without any success.  I am using SuSE 6.0 afterall, so I am sure you=20
won't mind too much ;-).

I either have a problem with installing ViSta or XLispStat.  Both=20
seem to be compiling/installing properly, but I get an error message=20
under XLispStat when I run ViSta.

Below is the error message reported by XLispStat 3.52.5 (and 3.52.9)=20
(I have tried all versions of ViSta):=20

Paths to the XLispStat and ViSta directories are:=20

tatinit.lsp has been edited to reflect the correct path to ViSta.  I
am using SuSE 6.0 running on a Pentium II 233MHz.

This is the reply from the XLispStat people:

I did check the Makefile and everything seems OK.  Does anyone have a=20
suggestion that might get ViSta/XLispStat working?

Thanking you in advance,

After I installed 6.0, my printer deamon(?) quit working. I can
print via the raw printer spool, but not  via ascii or lp.=20

I can convert an apsfilter generated postscript file into PCL
for my HP dj670 with gs, then copy it to /dev/lp0 - prints fine.

apsfilter produces a postscript file /tmp/aps_out***.  I believe gs
gets executed for this file, no output ends up in /tmp/gs_***, but=20
for each lpr-command some kB of new PCL-code surface in the
/var/spool/lpd/.../log file !

I had this problem with kernel 2.0.36 and now with 2.2.3.  =20

By the way, what is the :la@: entry in the printcap-file generated by
YaST? I can't find it in man printcap.

The fifth CD (assuming it is actually there) is the live filesystem one, and
it is behind CD4 (the part that CD4 is in hinges out to reveal CD5).

Does your sound work? If it does don't worry about
not having /dev/sndstat. I've seen in the linux usenet groups
that quite a few sound card drivers don't support /dev/sndstat.

You could either use "killall -1 httpd", to make Apache reload it's
configuration files. If you use the SuSE init-Script, you could also use
"rcapache reload".

Look real carefully at the bottom of the
floppy caddy. There is a "tricky" 5th cd slipped
in there. It is the "live file system"; which most=20
people don't use anyways.

Maybe i was not clear enought. I want set up 2 network interfaces. One for a
home private network has to use a fixed address(like 192.168.x.x). A second
one is connected to the internet (cable access). This second one have to use
the dhcp protocol. My isp asks for this. Now take your suse favorite tool
(yast) and try to set this config up! It will not possible because when you
tell yast to use dhcp, it use it for all network interface and disable all
network addresses. To me, the ideal thing would be either to set up the dhcp
client directly in network configurator or, by defaut, to yast on wich
interface it should use dhcp in the use_dhcp variable in the suse config
file. Hope the suse team hears me... ;-))

I had been wondering the same thing, and not hearing anything back, just went
ahead and did it.  If you just follow the standard upgrade procedure (look in
the 5.3 or 6.0 manual which comes with the ditbn) it works!! Imagine that!!=20
(I had some very small bugs to work out. . . very small. . .install took about
30 mins not counting stupidity time) So, once again, I was happy with SuSE's
product, even though I remain less than enthusiastic about their
public/commercial presence.  Obviously though, a good product (should!) trump
a good image.  Lets keep our collective  fingers crossed.

This may seem like silly question.  Iam only interested in upgrading
the required packages to go from libc5 to glibc.  I would like to
continue to run the binaries that are libc5 compiled and upgrade the
rest on a case by case basis.  Does suse 6.0 have an option like this?

Anyone know why when I debug the line :

if!(fd=3Dfopen(file,"r")

it would fail. Then say :
"../sysdeps/generic/strcmp.c:31 .. no file or directory found.
But it would be ok if I use 'next' rather than 'step'
please any suggestion ?
thanks,

There is an article in the current issue of LG which talks about
setting up a dial-in server. Take a look at:

Although, its not specific to SuSE, but should help you some.

What is the problem you are having partitioning??? I have used and like
Partition Magic but never had any problems with it.  fips 2.0 (located on
your SuSE cdrom in the utilities section -- it is a dos program) will safely
split an existing partition in two, provided you haved packed all the data
in the partition to the beginning using defrag or similar utility -- and
fips is ver very fast compared to PM.

Also, re your video card, you can probably get it to work using the
framebuffer device driver which is new --- see the pages on xfree85.org for
howto information on the framebuffer device driver.

That's tood bad, b/c IMHO the xpert98 and later models do kick ass in 2D
though maybe slightly weak in 3D ... as well the new ATI 128 is top rated in
both 2D and 3D, and ATI has always been well-supported in Linux.

If not ATI, then Matrox G200-based cards are excellent in both 2D and 3D
and are fully supported.  Also, for straight gaming, NVidia Riva (TNT and
128) or Number 9 Revolution 3D are good choices.

> Sound card? MX300 ... lost cause?

OSS (an optional component in the SuSE setup -- see the docs) plans support
for this card -- but it ain't there yet.  See www.opensound.com.  Given your
background, you could probably assist in getting this card supported -- I
would love to be able to use the MX300 myself!!  Sound is definitely the
weak leak in Linux.  The Soundblaster PCI128 and 64 models are listed on the
OSS database as working.  I haven't tried these as I am waiting patiently
for Aureal Vortex support.

Don't know why,  I have found WIndows NT and 98 MUCH more difficult to
install, maintain and configure than Linux in its latest incarnations.  What
problems were you experiencing???

If you have unusual hardware, the key is that you have to read read read.
Make sure you install all the man pages, docs and books (they are not
installed by default cause they take up a lot of space).  Find a topic, and
read everything you can.  Most of the stuff in *nix is really really
simple.  Usually requiring simple editing of text files in the /etc
directory in the worst case.

No USB support ... yet.  There is a group working on USB support and it
should be in one of the next releases.

It will probably end up being more than that. How about
your toaster will stop working if you miss a credit card payment
on it. :-)

You must have been very determined to recompile your kernel! What linux
dist and version number was that? How long ago? I've read you can compile
the kernel on a fast machine and install it on the slow machine, but never
tried it.

Yeah. That's what the article was getting at. It aint broke, don't try to

I bet you won't be able to leave your chair compiling on the 400mhz!

I just have a amd k2-266 32MB ram, and the whole process past make
menuconfig takes maybe 10min, though I just surf while its going on and I
don't notice the time. I found the more stuff you enable, the longer it
takes. I generated a 800KB file last night for kicks and it took a long
time.=20

I hear ya! But I tell you I am happy with the amd 266. It's the modem

Does anyone have a AX59Pro with a K6-II?
I do and I'm trying to understand why I can't have my PC powered off when
I use the  'poweroff' (halt -p) command.
I have a 2.2.3 kernel, but I've also tried with 2.2.2 and 2.2.0 with the
same result: after unmounting all things, it halt itself with a memory
kernel fault...:^(

The mentioned text file says it doesn't.

I haven't found anything about this. But from my testing I'd say
`rmmod -a' will only remove modules marked as auto cleanable.

bzImage doesn't refer to bzip. See
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/kbuild/commands.txt for details:

-------------------------------------------------------------->
Note: the difference between 'zImage' files and 'bzImage' files
is that 'bzImage' uses a different layout and a different
loading algorithm, and thus has a larger capacity.  Both files
use gzip compression. The 'bz' in 'bzImage' stands for 'big
zImage', not for 'bzip'!

An `rcapache restart' should do it.

Same here with an identical motherboard and k6-II.  Note that the K6 is MVP3
chipset (not intel) so this is probably the source of the problem.  Shutting
down to "halt" rather than powering off seems to be okay; only power off is
affected.

I just went through this last weekend when I upgraded my home's network
server. I have a script of ipfwadm commands I had been using since I
first started using SuSe Linux 5.2. I had upgraded to 5.3 and every
thing was still working. It was when I upgraded to 6.0 that my IP
Masquerading quite workgin. All of my local system could ping and
connect to the server by no packets were being routed outside to our
ISP. My solution was to go and hand edit /etc/rc.config and set
"IP_FORWARD=3Dyes". As of SuSE 6.0 it defaults to "no".=20

I posted this problem to this mailing list and received a reponse.
Apparently for SuSE 6.0 they decided to follow the RFC that states that
a workstation should not automatically do any IP forwarding. I don't
think this was documented any where. I don't mind them following this
RFC and probably for a majority of workstations this new default setting
is the correct thing to do. It's just a pain for those of us that
already had a server system running with IP Masquerading and this little
change breaks an important feature.

Make sure you unfold the boy the right way. there is still space for a
6th CD. If you have 2 free spaces for CD=C5=BDs you better complain at SuSE
for a replacement.

Hi, all

I would greatly appreciate if somebody could give me some info on Matrox
G200 cards and how well they work/perform  with linux.
I found at least three types of them: Mystique, Millenium, Marvel.
Which would you recommend?
Does the TV out function work with linux?
What X server is used?
How does it compare to other cards (performance/$$value)?
Is there any other video card that you would highly recommend?
I am going to use it mostly for 3D gaming.

Any pointers are welcome.
Thank you,

-alexm the bandwidthwaister

It seems that sendmail either works flawlessly or it starts exhibiting
bizarro behavior here.  I have a real basic setup which is a dialup
connection via a modem with only one system.  My /etc/hosts file is:

127.0.0.1	localhost
207.167.85.183  mperry.basin.com	mperry

My resolv.conf is

domain znet.com
nameserver 207.167.67.1
nameserver 207.167.80.19

Thats it.  Now when I attempt to use localhost smtp, sendmail queues
every last piece of email I sent with host name deferred lookup and I
have to force a send with sendmail -q.  I have the default sendmail
installed and working with the switch -bd -q30m -om.  If I remove the
word "localhost" from pine and use no default value and remove it from
tkrat, all email goes out immediately.=20

Does this seem strange to anyone or is this some sort of sendmail
feature?=20

I suspect people may be taking these virus warnings too lightly, and
giving knee-kerk "This is a HOAX" responses.

Please read the following, and maybe think again.

Best wishes to all,
Ted.

RE: WARNING!! BEWARE GREEKS BEARING GIFTS!

Hey Hector,

This was forwarded to me by Cassandra--it looks legit. Please distribute
to Priam, Hecuba, and your 99 siblings.

Thanks,

Laocoon

WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!

IF YOU RECEIVE A GIFT IN THE SHAPE OF A LARGE WOODEN HORSE DO NOT
DOWNLOAD IT!!!! It is EXTREMELY DESTRUCTIVE and will overwrite your
ENTIRE CITY!

The "gift" is disguised as a large wooden horse about two stories tall.
It tends to show up outside the city gates and appears to be abandoned.
DO NOT let it through the gates! It contains hardware that is
incompatible with Trojan programming, including a crowd of heavily armed
Greek warriors that will destroy your army, sack your town, and kill
your women and children. If you have already received such a gift, DO
NOT OPEN IT! Take it back out of the city unopened and set fire to it by
the beach.

FORWARD THIS MESSAGE TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW!

RE: Greeks bearing gifts

Laocoon,

I hate to break to you, but this is one of the oldest hoaxes there is.
I've seen variants on this warning come through on other listservs, one
involving some kind of fruit that was supposed to kill the people who
ate it and one having to do with something called the "Midas Touch."
Here are a few tipoffs that this is a hoax:

1) This "Forward this message to everyone you know" crap. If it were
really meant as a warning about the Greek army, why tell anyone to post
it to the Phonecians, Sumerians, and Cretans?

2) Use of exclamation points. Always a giveaway.

3) It's signed "from Poseidon." Granted he's had his problems with
Odysseus but he's one of their guys, isn't he? Besides, the lack of a real
header with a detailed address makes me suspicious.

4) Technically speaking, there is no way for a horse to overwrite your
entire city. A horse is just an animal, after all.

Next time you get a message like this, just delete it. I appreciate your
concern, but once you've been around the block a couple times you'll
realize how annoying this kind of stuff is.

Bye now,

Hector

Thanx for your help. I'll try it. I have another idea that might work :
Configuring the dhco nic with no adrress (0.00.0.00) and use a standart dhcp
client on it...
I'd like to set up an ip masquerade over the nic with dhcp. could work the
SuSE one? or does it need to have the adresses in yast?

Modules automatically inserted by kerneld are marked as "autoclean" because
they will be automatically removed after a period of inactivity.

Hi All,

I am running SuSE 5.3 and have become quite tired of using Netscape
Communicator for e-mail.  I am now using sendmail and fetchmail with
mutt.  I have created the following script:

        /etc/suseppp/scripts/ppp-up generic
        sendmail -q
        fetchmail -v >> /var/log/fetchmail
        /etc/suseppp/scripts/ppp-down

to send and receive but it has a problem.  The commands after the ppp-up
execute immediately and the entire script finishes (with errors from
sendmail & procmail) before the modem even begins to connect.

How can I pause the script and test that the connection was made before
continuing with execution?

VMT for your answer about the release of SuSE Linux 6.1. I have, today,
ordered SuSE Linux 6.0 from The Linux Emporium. I can thoroughly recommend
TLE for their speedy and excellent service, and do not hesitate to suggest
any UK susers to use them.

FWIW I am now at the successful and happy stage. It seems that my
conf.modules din't contain a crucial
component :=20
        alias char-major-14 sound
was missing. At least, I think that was it. A little bit of black magic
seems to be a crucial part of sound setup ;-P

As I keep installing packages over time I find that my upgrade times are
going up. My upgrade time from 5.2 to 5.3 was only about 30 minutes. I
find now though that a few of my systems are much bigger and so there
are usually 150-200 packages to upgrade and so this can take 45 minutes
to an hour depending on the speed of the system I'm upgrading.

Pros:

The upgrade of packages and the system itself from 5.3 to 6.0 went very
smoothly.

Cons:

Any custom stuff I had linked against libc5 no longer worked. I had to
recompile all of my custom stuff to use libc6 instead. All went smooth
here as I simply recompiled and reinstalled all of my custom stuff.
(Note that I did expect this to happen since I knew SuSE 6.0 was based
on glibc. This may be a con for some people that are unaware of this
change).

IP_FORWARD is set to "no" in the /etc/rc.config file and so this broke
IP Masquerading on my server.

It seems like the gcc packages were broken up or something as I
discovered that "gcc" no longer existed on my system after the upgrade.
I had to install a "gccfront" package to get "gcc" back on my systems so
I could do kernal compiles.=20

My solo-1 card didn't work either.
I removed all sounddrivers from the kernel and use ASLA now. I've downloaded =
it
from the net, just look at www.altavista.com for ASLA.

Hi George,

Try the following. cat    > /dev/dsp . This might give a sound.
My computer at work also uses a CS4232. it works perfectly.  If it doesn't
work can you please sent me your .configure file in /usr/src/linux . Than i
will try to find out what might be wrong.

Regards,

Joop Boonen.

Dear Joe,

Have you also enabled ipforwarding in the rc.config file. This can also be
done via yast and configuration file. I have had the same problem. if you
want to use kernel 2.2.x new problems will occur that is ipchains. That can
be downloaded from www.suse.de/~bb/

If you need more help you can ask. I have setup IP masquerading using Suse
6.0 with 2.0.x and now with 2.2.x

Regards,

Joop Boonen.

Dear Alex,

On this URL you can find information about performance of video cards:
http://www.anandtec=
h.com/html/reviews.cfm?types=3Dyes>&TopicTypes=3D3 . and also
this link http://www.cpureview.com/> . There are files for the Voodo=
o chip in
the suse distribution. I don't know what they do.

By the way there is not as of yet any accelerated xfree86 server for a
matrox card.

I hope it's helpful.

Regards,

Joop Boonen.

I think this is the clever little game M$ has been playing. Frankly,
when Windoze95 was first announced I wsn't even using a PC, but as my
nkack for trivia usually does I noted that one of the experts commented
that Win95 was more about hardware upgrading than software. I did not
fully understand, but it caught my attention.

I don't know much about benchmarks, but a real test of any OS is going
to be done on the same hardware. Running OS/2 Warp 3.0 on a 486/33 I saw
"more speed" IMHO than with Win95 on my NEC P166.

So long as the guys and gals, who sign the checks to buy the OSs know
little about what goes under the hood, so to speak, money will be poared
down a hole.

FYI I saw an interesting white paper comparing OS/2 and NT last year.
IBM was looking at continued compatibilty of applications as
users/businesses upgraded their OSs; downward not upward as M$ does.

Also, for those, who did not see the Public Broadcasting System program
that was shown here in the States(January, '99, I think) called "Nerds
101," which looked at the web and pc there was an interesting comment. I
can not quote it verbatim, so I will not claim to do so, but I think I
keep with the spirit of the thought when I recount that one of the Sun
people, who was interviewed stated that a top programmer in the industry
made the observation, after being hired by M$, that he saw some of the
worst programmers he had ever seen after going to M$. If this is true is
there any wonder M$ OSs continue to grow larger and larger. Add to that
that as with BEos M$ does not have the luxury to be able to devorce
itself from old apps, or does it?

Regards,

Bob

Close...  Attached is a copy of boot.s from the linux-0.1 kernel!  Read
what Linus has to say about it...


|
|	boot.s
|
| boot.s is loaded at 0x7c00 by the bios-startup routines, and moves itself
| out of the way to address 0x90000, and jumps there.
|
| It then loads the system at 0x10000, using BIOS interrupts. Thereafter
| it disables all interrupts, moves the system down to 0x0000, changes
| to protected mode, and calls the start of system. System then must
| RE-initialize the protected mode in it's own tables, and enable
| interrupts as needed.
|
| NOTE! currently system is at most 8*65536 bytes long. This should be no
| problem, even in the future. I want to keep it simple. This 512 kB
| kernel size should be enough - in fact more would mean we'd have to move
| not just these start-up routines, but also do something about the cache-
| memory (block IO devices). The area left over in the lower 640 kB is meant
| for these. No other memory is assumed to be "physical", ie all memory
| over 1Mb is demand-paging. All addresses under 1Mb are guaranteed to match
| their physical addresses.
|
| NOTE1 abouve is no longer valid in it's entirety. cache-memory is allocated
| above the 1Mb mark as well as below. Otherwise it is mainly correct.
|
| NOTE 2! The boot disk type must be set at compile-time, by setting
| the following equ. Having the boot-up procedure hunt for the right
| disk type is severe brain-damage.
| The loader has been made as simple as possible (had to, to get it
| in 512 bytes with the code to move to protected mode), and continuos
| read errors will result in a unbreakable loop. Reboot by hand. It
| loads pretty fast by getting whole sectors at a time whenever possible.

| 1.44Mb disks:
sectors =3D 18
| 1.2Mb disks:
| sectors =3D 15
| 720kB disks:
| sectors =3D 9

Dear Alex,

On this URL you can find information about performance of video cards:
http://www.tomshardware.com/> ,
http://www.anandtec=
h.com/html/reviews.cfm?types=3Dyes>&TopicTypes=3D3 . and
also
this link http://www.cpureview.com/> . There are files for the Voodoo
chip in
the suse distribution. I don't know what they do.

By the way there is not as of yet any accelerated xfree86 server for a
matrox card.

I hope it's helpful.

Regards,

Joop Boonen.

The hardware situation is about to break wide open.  I saw an ad for a
300MHz, computer with 64MB RAM and a 3.2 GB HD, a 56Kb modem, mouse,
video and sound card --- $299    Add a monitor and it jumps to $499.=20
With Linux in the package - WOW!   Hardware is about to become a
commodity.

I think that a lot of the apps are there, they just aren't advertized or

ad on TV for GIMP, or Blender or ACM or...?

There are some options on pppd that allow you to execute scripts. One
command executes a script once the PPP connection is made, and the other
is executed when the PPP connection goes down. I think the options are
"ip-up" and "ip-down". I don't have a Linux system to look at the pppd
man pages to make sure I'm 100

I'm not sure how this affects the use of the SuSE PPP scripts as I use
diald in conjunction with pppd instead. When I ran a Slackware system I
had to run chat and pppd directly from a script and so that why I know
the options I mention exist in some form with pppd.

Well I think I graduated from newbie status today.  It's been a year
since I started with Linux and I finally found and fixed my first bug.
I am easily self-impressed.  Here's the deal.  I was having a bad time
of starting tcsh.  Kept getting "Bad : modifier in $ ($)."  So I kept
putting printf statements in the /etc/csh.cshrc until I found the line
generating the error.  I did a printf of the $s in the following
conditional from the csh.cshrc:

########## begin #####################
# source extensions for special packages
#
if ( -d /etc/profile.d ) then
  set _tmp=3D${?nonomatch}
  set nonomatch
  foreach s ( /etc/profile.d/*.csh )
    if ( -r $s ) then
      source $s
    endif
  end
  if ( ! ${_tmp} ) unset nonomatch
endif
############ end #####################

This indicated I should look in /etc/profile.d/informix.csh .  This file
did not have the '{','}'s you see in the text below.  I also commented
out the export line.  As far as I know that isn't needed in (t)csh.  Is
that correct?

#
# variables for informix se to be sourced by /etc/profile
#
setenv INFORMIXDIR "/usr/lib/informix"
setenv INFORMIXSERVER "demo_se"

etenv DBPATH "$INFORMIXDIR/"
setenv PATH "${PATH}:${INFORMIXDIR}/bin"

# export INFORMIXDIR INFORMIXSERVER DBPATH PATH

It fixed the problem.  Boy I'm proud of me.  Now if I could just get vi
to produce a "hello world" text file :-/

Hi Jon,

For video cards performance see: http://www.tomshardware.com/>=
 .

See you,

Joop.

About support of video cards under linux and XFree86 i don't know anything.
It would be great if there would be a benchmark test for XFree86 servers.

Hello,

I downloaded the 2.2.3 kernel and uncompressed it in /usr/src/linux. I
have done the -make dep-, -make menuconfig-, -make bzImage- and -make
bzlilo-. All with no problems. When I restart however, I still have the
2.0.36 kernel. What I am I doing wrong here?

Thanks!

You should probably have a look at tkppp and suseppp. Works fine for

Hey everyone,=20

Well first of all a huge thank you to everyone who responded to my
last question, I really appreciate it! :-)

OK, so it appears I have to edit isapnp.conf... I ran the cat
interrupts thing and it looks like irq 4 -7 are free... Now where do I
edit the file, I read the SuSE manual but I'm still not sure, I tried
but it hasn't worked.

Where do I edit, to say assign the modem to irq 5? I know it may sound
daft, but I found isapnp.conf really hard to understand.

Plugging and praying,
Dom=20

Hello Piet,

After you have compilled the kernel cd to /boot
rename vmlinuz to something like vmlinuz.old.
Then cd to /etc
and vi lilo.conf,
ADD something like,

image =3D /boot/vmlinuz.old
root =3D /dev/hdXX  # where XX is whatever your boot partition is
label =3D linux.old # or whatever you want to name your old config

This allows you to issue=20

linux.old=20

at the boot prompt if the new kernel fails and boot to 2.0.36.

Next go to /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot and

mv (or cp) zImage (or bzImage) /boot/vmlinuz

this moves or copies the kernel image to where it needs to be to boot.
Then issue

lilo

which sets up your new boot configuration.  Reboot and you should be
running 2.2.3.

Hope this helps,
Mike

I am trying to answer a question someone asked me.  How do I find the
version of glibc I am running?  When I do the following I don't see an
answere.  He wants to know if I have glibc2.1.  It involves the beta of
Netscape DS.  He says it won't run on 2.1.  Mine's running, but it was
glitchy at first.

You probably aren't putting it in the right location?
The new kernel goes in /boot. Is that where your
bzlilo put it?
If not, use yast to redo your lilo.

Send me a copy of your /etc/isapnp.conf and I'll edit it for you.
Better yet, just look for a line that mentions your modem,
then under it, there is a line for irq.
Don't forget to uncomment
ACT Y at the end.

By the way, don't use irq 5, it will probably conflict
with a sound card if you have one. Or the printer.
Use irq4 if you have a ps2 mouse, if you have a serial mouse
on com1, use irq3 for your modem.

  Just a thought, but did you copy the vmlinuz from the / directory to
/boot ?? If you created the kernel with make zlilo or bzlilo it wont put
the kernel in /boot you need to copy/move it there yourself.

PC Magazine, Vol 18, No 7, Page 87, Paragraph 8:

"Nobody writing in the popular press wants to predict the emergence of a
gentrified Linux as the next major change on the desktop environment or
in the Fortune 500.  Well, I'm doing so now.  The way I see it, Linux's
code base is under much tighter control than Windows'."
        -John C. Dvorak

One other thing stood out about the magazine, from my perspective: how
marginal it is becoming.  It seems to be steadily shrinking in page
count and the technical pieces are diminishing in both quantity and
quality.  What I quoted above seems to be the only piece of information
worth passing along from that issue.   The current issue, like so many
of the recent past, seems nothing but a collection of reviews of trendy
hardware and software interspersed with "columns" which seem mainly to
be extensions of Microsoft's support desk, if not it's primary support
desk.
I've subscribed to PC Mag from the beginning.  My current subscription
expires in one year, but I won't be renewing it. =20

I began subscribing to Linux Journal last September.  It appears to be
growing in a direction opposite to the one PC Mag is on.  And PC MAG
doesn't have anything like the Linux Gazette online.

And to think, I spent 18 years of my life as a consultant-programmer
digitizing the financial records of all kinds of businesses.  Not once
during that period did I ever encounter a company that wanted to keep
the Point of Sale on computer but the General Ledger on paper.  I met a
good number that wanted two sets of books: "one for the government and a
'small set' that gives me a quick bottom line".  "Don't know how to do
that" I would reply.  Gates apparently does.

Hi,

You can use something like this:
----------start-------------
/etc/suseppp/scripts/ppp-up generic
sleep 20 # wait 20 sec
ping -c 3 your.gateway.numeric.ip.here
if [ $? -ne 0 ]
then
        echo "No connection established..."
        exit 1
else
        run the rest of your script here
fi
--------------end-----------------

  Place your commands in the ip-up file which will not execute until a
successful connection is made.

That's what ip-up and ip-down are for.  Man pppd and read the sections on
/etc/ppp/ip-up and /etc/ppp/ip-down.  ip-up runs when pppd successfully
connects.  ip-down runs when pppd exits.  Here's what I have in ip-up.

#!/bin/bash
echo "$(date)     $1  up" >> var/log/ppplog
/root/bin/ckmail

The $1 in the echo line is the interface, ppp0, returned by ip-up.  The
result is a line in the logfile like this:

Thu Mar 18 21:41:18 CST 1999     ppp0  up =20

Other parameters $2, $3, etc will return connection speed, local and remote=20
IP addresses, etc.

/root/bin/ckmail is just a script that runs fetchmail and does some other
things.  Then in ip-down I have

#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/killall ckmail
echo "$(date)     $1     down" >> var/log/ppplog
if [ -e /tmp/pppman ] || [ -e /tmp/pppcron ]; then
    /usr/sbin/ppp-on
fi

Which among other things will try to bring the link back up if it goes down
prematurely.  This is pretty simple stuff, but you can do almost anything.

Hi,

Does anyone know where the standard vi editor is located in the SuSE 5.3
CD set ? I uninstalled a few packages from my system via YaST and it
disappeared. I found other variations such as elvis, xvi, vim but I just
want the original version.

Thanks.

Fred

before you start to compile the kernel, make sure you have uncommented the
#INSTALL_PATH=3D3D/boot
line of your kernel sources Makefile.
If this line stays commented your new kernel will get installed under / and=20
not under /boot
and lilo wont find it....

Thanks.  I am actually looking for more detail.  That only tells me the
"major" version.  It doesn't tell me the 2.0, 2.1 etc.  This guy has
another
distribution of linux which links libc.so.6 -> libc-2.0.7.so for
example.

I dont think there is an "original version" with SuSE.  I beleive it
has always been a symbolic link to vim.

You can always go to YaST, find the package, and .  That will tell=20
you what version it is.

My 6.0 says: glibc-2.0.7pre6 glibc-crypt-2.0.6
glibc-linuxthreads-2.0.7pre6 glibc-localedata-2.0.7pre3

It would be interesting to find out how they passed their last financial
audit for purposes of certifying their financials with such weaknesses.=20
It's too bad a member of the accounting firm which did their last audit
can't be put on the stand.

Hello folks.

I got a strange behavior of kpp. I use kpp for connection to the
Internet. When my box is connected I can't invoke Netscape or any other
program or application (e.g. mc, Xterm, YAST e.t.a.). When I launch
Netscape or any other application before connection with kpp it works
fine during connection while these applications are opened, but as soon
as I close Netscape or any opened application when box is connected I
can't invoke them again till I disconnect my box from Internet.

Could somebody point me what is a problem Why kpp locks others
application when it connected to the Internet ?

Thanks

Alex

What?!? I have used several different Matrox models (now using a
Millenium G200). It's fast and I strongly believe they were always the
very fastest with XFree86. So there.

What makes you think so? Have a look at /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc/README.MGA,
especially the last=20

2.  Features:

   o uses linear frame buffer

   o Resolutions up to the maximum supported by the card should be
     possible.

   o 8 bpp, 16 bpp (depth 15 and 16), 24 bpp (depth 24, packed) and 32 bpp
     (depth 24, sparse) are all supported.

   o supports VESA Display Power Management Signaling (DPMS)

   o supports RGB Sync-on-Green

   o supports the XF86_DGA extension

   o Makes extensive use of the graphics accelerator.  This server is very
     well accelerated, and is one of the fastest XFree86 X servers.
     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

So, the X Server does use hardware acceleration :)

Have a look at /etc/rc.config and search for "SENDMAIL_LOCALHOST". I
assume, you need to add "localhost" and your hostname in this variable.
Don't forget to run SuSEconfig afterwards.

I assume you told sendmail to queue outgoing mail
(SENDMAIL_EXPENSIVE=yes) in YaST?

Just use "-bd -om" as the sendmail args and flush the queue with
"sendmail -q" from your ip-up script or wherever when you go online.

You should also have the line "Cw localhost" in your /etc/sendmail.cf
file (SENDMAIL_LOCALHOST=localhost in YaST should set this).

That should fix it, although I'm not sure which version of sendmail is
shipped with SuSE now, since I maintain mine separately to the
distribution.

Dear Michael Andersen,

I only wanted to tell that the Matrox cards don't have an accelerated
server. I don't know how the co-operation is between Matrox and XFree. But
i myself don't think there will be chances that there will be a accelerated
XFree86 server for the Matrox cards. By the way i know that the Matrox
cards are very fast even under a SVGA XFree server. but the thing i'm
worried about is. That whenever XFree will support 3 D. That Matrox won't
be available with 3 D support under XFree, what do you think?

By the way i use both ATI Rage II cards, S3 virage and Matrox mystique
cards. To be honest with the applications i use there isn't much of a
difference. I'm also using the virtual PC program from www.vmware.com. It
works both great under Mach acc en SVGA server with a mystique.

I hope i haven't offended people. I'm sorry if i did.

Regards,

Joop Boonen.

Can someone give me some information about firms that produce video chips
and who are working closely together with XFree86? I mean basically there
is no firm that ports applications to Linux. I've never seen any program of
ATI for the TV function for the all in wonder cards or from Matrox for the
Rainbow runner etc.

Dear Lenz,

Ok, the Matrox cards are accelerated. But are they as well accelerated as a
AT card? And what are the chances that there will be a separate XFree86
accelerator for Matrox cards? Isn't a dedicated XFree86 server always
better?

Does Matrox hand out any code for their cards or has it to found out by the
programmers?

Regards,

Joop Boonen.

I was clearly wrong about not being accelerated.

Well it's under tighter control by the "end user", maybe that is what
he meant.

The fact that there isn't a separate driver for the Matrox cards doesn't
mean there isn't accelerated drivers for them. They're just integrated
in the SVGA driver (i.e. it contains specific Matrox code). Furthermore
I believe Matrox recently released full specs for their cards (more or
less, as it's only available to "registered developers", can anyone tell
more?). I think the Matrox cards will soon be the best supported cards
in the 3D area, as they're always been in the 2D area.

I know *exactly* what you mean. PC Pro used to be pretty good but now it's
just an advert's folder. Even the tests are getting to be pretty pointless.
I mean, how many times can you test a PC. There comes a point when the
test's just become 'page filler', More stats - More pages filled. The best
items are the 'Real Life' columns but to get those you have to hunt thru
adverts, stripping them out one by one. Groan...it's a pain.

{Snip}

One other thing stood out about the magazine, from my perspective: how
marginal it is becoming.  It seems to be steadily shrinking in page
count and the technical pieces are diminishing in both quantity and
quality.  What I quoted above seems to be the only piece of information
worth passing along from that issue.   The current issue, like so many
of the recent past, seems nothing but a collection of reviews of trendy
hardware and software interspersed with "columns" which seem mainly to
be extensions of Microsoft's support desk, if not it's primary support
desk.
I've subscribed to PC Mag from the beginning.  My current subscription
expires in one year, but I won't be renewing it. =20

I began subscribing to Linux Journal last September.  It appears to be
growing in a direction opposite to the one PC Mag is on.  And PC MAG
doesn't have anything like the Linux Gazette online.

Hello all !

Is it possible to upgrade from rh51 o SuSE6 and keep the users and

We need to format the disk to change partitions and clean a lot of
garbage.

I usually shutdown with the following command, which works (e.g., does not
crash but correctly halts the CPU and system after shutdown):

    shutdown -h now

As you correctly note, this does *not* poweroff the system (for which you
need to use the -p switch, as I recall).  Unfortunately, any attempt at
autopoweroff produces the system crash you noted in your earlier post.

Michael is correct.  Check out Xfree86.org and you will see in the list of
supported drivers that the G200 chip is directly supported.  This would not be
the case if it was merely supported through the generic SVGA driver.

However, as with most any cards, the feature connectors and advanced
functionaility such as SVIDEO are usually not supported.  This is not always =
the
result of a failure of the company to provide specs, but in my experience more
often because not enough people cared enough about that type of functionality=
 to
put the effort into writing the necessary driver code.  I strongly believe (b=
ut
don't know for sure) that Matrox releases specs for their cards to the commun=

very quickly.  I believe this because drivers for their cards on Linux are al=
most
always availble very shortly after the release of a new card.  Also, Matrox h=

always been very supportive of alternative OS' (I know this as a former OS/2
user).

Hi,
The new xanim2800 has changed the way it handles
codecs to a module format. It loads codecs as
it needs them, and they are separate from
the main xanim executable.

When you download and unpack the dll's,=20
they are given ownership "unknown user, unknown group".

Is this the way they should be used for security purposes?
Or should they be changed to the same ownership and=20
permissions as xanim itself, which is root.root 755 ?

It needed the script, but if anyone cares, I now have found the problem.

SuSE by default created a /etc/ppp/options file.  This file is required by
kppp to be in existence, but empty.  deleting the contents of this file fixed
the problem.

Now if I can only get StarOffice to register properly I would be able to
delete MS from my life ... 8-)

Dear Lenz,

Ok, the Matrox cards are accelerated. But are they as well accelerated
as a
AT card? And what are the chances that there will be a separate XFree86
accelerator for Matrox cards? Isn't a dedicated XFree86 server always
better?

Does Matrox hand out any code for their cards or has it to found out by
the
programmers?

Regards,

Joop Boonen.

I was clearly wrong about not being accelerated.

I get this error message when I shutdown SuSE 6.0 running on kernel
2.2.3. (I'm running it on a Gateway 2000 Pentium II G6-300. I have a STB
Velocity 128 video card, and an Ensoniq AudioPCI audio card) Has any one
else gotten this message? Everything else seems to be working okay, but
I want to make sure it's not something I should be concerned about. By
the way, I've only noticed it happening after I start X. It happens both
after shutting down from kdm and if I go to the kdm menu, press
Ctrl-Alt-F1, and login as root and execute "shutdown -h now".=20

Suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks!

Andrew Post

An interesting thing to this is that the value sendmail_localhost always
contained the value localhost and I did not have sendmail expensive set.
With this setup, sendmail queued all email if "localhost" was mentioned in
the smtp services part of a email program like pine.  When I added
mperry.basin.com to sendmail_localhost all email goes out immediately like
I want when Im connected.  I never did this before with suse 6 or earlier
versions.=20

Anyways, thanks Philip and Lenz for the advice.  The corrections to
sendmail_localhost worked; but Im darned if I know why.

The current xosview does not work, because the format of some files under
/proc/ has been changed. The latest release of xosview fixes this problem.

I sometimes rlogin into my home machine from work machine (Sun Ultra 10=20
with Solaris.)  and I use a xterm to do this.  Unfortunately, the text in
the xterm is distorted when I run lynx.  Also, when I "cat" or "more" a
text file, the text appears like it has been selected.  Does this have to
do with my machine not recognizing that I am using an xterm?

Is there a way to correct this?  Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks!

Yes, kernel 2.2.3 broke xosview. Update xosview to the latest version.

omeone (maybe Lenz) mentioned that xosview *won=C5=BDt* run on 2.2.x for
reasons that I can=C5=BDt remember. But it was a bit more complicated.

No, unfortunately it seems to be a bug in Linux's APM.  The Aopen board uses
an MVP3 chipset which is more than capable of automatically powering down the
system; in fact, it is also capable of turning the system on (wake-on-modem
or wake-on-event)!!!  However, auto power off, whether built into the system
or accomplished with poweroff, causes a crash with this board.

I'd like to load SuSE 6.0 into a 2 GB partition of a 6 GB hard drive.  The
SuSE 6.0 manual suggests that for  >1 GB space, the partitions could be:
100MB root, ~50-80MB swap, 100MB /home, and the remainder  /usr.  Using
Yast, I do this, only to be told that I need more space on (I think) /root,
about 300MB total.  It is not clear to me what a reasonable space division
should be.  My interest at this time is to use this PC (a laptop, actually),
as a workstation, with Netscape, Start Office, etc. as the primary
applications.

Using Yast, what are your suggestions on sizing the partition,s and in what
order should they be?

Any tips?

I have tried loading SuSE on this machine, with the 6GB drive having a 4GB
NT partition already.  There are 3 available hda2, hda3, hda4.  If I need a
total of four  (/root, /home,/swap, and /usr), I presume that I will make an
extended partition.  If I do that, I seemed unable to "mount" the extended
partition.

Does it matter if the swap partition is real or extended?

If I intend to use one of the four partitions for DOS-FAT (my NT one is
NTFS), should I plan on making two extended partitions from the start?

Thanks

Stanley C. Rogacki, P.E.

Hi,
The Netscape 4.5 which comes with suse6 has been
working fine for me.
Just out of curiosity I downloaded 4.51 and put
it in a separate directory.

I did ldd's on both versions.

For 4.5(coming with suse6):

Notice the "not found" for libc5 under 4.51?
What will this mean for it's realiability under suse6?

I have never paid much attention to those warnings.  Anyway, fips should do t=

trick.  Don't forget to pack your disk first (don't worry, it won't work if y=

don't but it won't mangle anything).

Yeah, the screen font smoothing bug is annoying -- but note that it is a
software driver bug unique to windows 98.  Never tried the Banshee myself,
though I am sure it is better at 3D than the xpert 98.  Do you have the full
8Megs?  That makes quite a difference.  Also, I am using an AGP version which
helps a lot.  I can tell you that this blows the lid off my last card which w=

a PCI-based S3 virge.

Yeah, forgot you were overclocking.  Stick to the Matrox or ATI cards as they
are more stable.  Anyway, use AGP and don't worry (AGP isolates bus speed from
the PCI/CPU bus so you have a constant bus speed regardless of fsb speed).  If
you have AGP, make sure you haven't tied the AGP bus speed to the CPU bus spe=
ed
(usually done in BIOS setup or through jumpers) as this will both slow down y=
our
system and cause compatibility probs.

There's always a first time.  If you know C ....  Look around for someone
working on sound card drivers generally.  Usually these people are listed in
FAQ's, HOWTO's, or doc pages for the sound drivers.  THere is a kernal sound
discussion group I believe.  If you want to volunteer, throw your hat in and =
I'm
sure you will be welcomed.  Writing device drivers in Linux is not very hard =
and
all the source code is there as are most of the authors!!!

USB *is* unusual hardware in the sense that even MS only recently supported i=

Linux will have it soon enough along with Firewire.

MS windows has nevery recognized my monitors properly, so I am used to provid=

Banshee is a pretty new video card.  It will likely be supported in the next =

It is a bit difficult to use LILO.  But the recommended way if you have windo=

98 is to use loadlin anyway.  Try loadlin if you have win98.

This is really a problem with installation of multiple os.  No problem, thoug=

if you have partition magic which includes IBM's bootmanager.

Wow.  Pretty cool for a home network!  Proxy server setup is straightforward.
Use Yast to administer the network settings.  Never done this myself but I th=

its pretty easy; you may need to recompile the kernel to permit IP forwarding=

(someone else maybe can answer this).

SuSE's manual covers this pretty nicely.  I like a 700meg partition mounted to
/opt, 300meg for /home (maybe more if you have multiple users), and 3gig for /
(root partition).  I also use a single swap partition of 96MB on a different
hard drive (to speed access).

that's good.

By unusual I really meant cutting edge technology (USB keyboard and mouse,

excellent.  wb if you need more help.

I apologize for the newbie nature of this but seeing that I am, allow me to g=
et
the ball rolling.

I partitioned off a piece of my drive, giving me about 2GB for version 5.3. N=
ot
knowing what I would need or not need, I selected minimal install and proceed=
ed.
The installation filled up my 2GB allocation and I'm quite sure that I did
something wrong. I had read that a Linux install would be quite well off with
1GB of space.

In sum, what would be my best way to proceed. Should I or can I wipe everythi=
ng
clean and start over OR what should I do about tidying up what is presently
installed on my drive.

Is 2GB a reasonable amount of allocated hard drive space?

Once again, thank you.

Rod

You didn't have to recompile. You could have simply installed the shlibs5
package and had the best of both worlds. It's a compatibility thaaang

The IP_FORWARD item was explained. It's a security thaaang.

Yup. gccfront, just like the book/list/suse community says. It's a
flexibility thaaang.

Other than those expected scenarios (which means nothing's broken), how'd
ti go?

Jose,

If all you want from the RH system is the users and passwds, then just=20
make copies of your /etc/passwd & /etc/shadow (assuming shadowed
passwds) and copy them to the respective files on the new SuSE setup.
You may want to compare /etc/groups as well, since the passwd file has=20
to associate the users with the groups.

Hi Rod
    IMO anything over ...600M is *alot* You can do a very nice custom install=
 at
around 4 500M
The thing is you have to look closely over *every* package in  yast. Initiall=
y its
alot of work but once you get used to it... its a peice of cake.
If you look at all the packages the forst is the base system (youll need it) =
=3D80M
programs that dont need x... have a look you my system is 12M
applix (which is crippled so unselect it) =3D0
extreme linux =3D0
development C C++ mine is 42M
documentation mine is 42M (go over this carefully as the german man and howto=
s are
selected by default
emacs I dont use emacs so 0
emulators I dont use 0
games 211K
gnome 0
graphics 3.3M
KDE 27M
network support 22M make sure you select suseppp and all the ppp options
commercial software  18.3M
sgm 0
snd 0
spell checking 17M
tcl 16M
tex 0
X =3D 21M
xap 1.4 M
xdev 5.1M
xsrv try and select the server you need 5M
xv =3D0
xwm 32.6
zq=3D0
this totals to about 420+ -
You can always go back to yast and install something if you find you need it
Im sure alot of folk would be appalled about my small no frills install but I=
t works
just fine and after installing *several* times I think I know what I use and =
what I
never use.

As I had mentioned in the "Pros" section of my previous message, the
upgrade of all my systems was very smooth. The only thing that really
gave me grief was the IP_FORWARD thing on my server system.=20

I saw I could have installed the shlib5 package but I wanted make a
clean break from libc5 on all of my SuSE 6.0 system. I was successful in
doing this on all of my systems except for my personal workstation. I
use WordPerfect 8.0 and it only supports libc5 at this time.

The upgrade to SuSE 6.0 was my third upgrade of SuSE since I started
using it back at version 5.2. The only thing that keeps changing is that
it's taking longer and longer to install all of the packages. I keep
installing more and more stuff off of those SuSE CD's. It's really very
impressive the collection of stuff they've put together on their set.
For most of the free stuff I use, a majority of it has been installed
from the packages on the CDs. This is a big time saver as I don't have
to go out and download stuff of the net that often anymore.

Regards,

Tony

The server SuSE 6.0 the b***** win98

Can someone please help, this is driving me up the wall. I have a linux
server downstairs which is meant to serve me for internet and email. My
Win98 machine upstairs has a couple of conflicting cards, believe me as soon
as I can dump the internal modem I will be very happy. but as my email
connection using the server is not working i have to keep pulling out and
inserting the modem card which has me and my wife and my aunt something
pulling hair out in handfulls.

So far : My server (I shall call it server as that is the label) can auto
connect to ISP and I can ping eg www.netscape.com and it's numeric
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx okay.

I really need to at least get email from the win 98 machine so that I can
fix the other niggling points. other wise my aunt thingy gets it!

Please please help.

I've been running a Pentium 150 with 64Mb SDRAM with no difficulty. I
ran with 32Mb with no problems, as well. The only difficulty I
experienced with Linux was when I attempted to run two HDDs with /,
/opt, /usr and /home on a WD UDMA(4.3Gb) with the swap partition on a
Conner(420Mb) IDE. I suspect that the ide just couldn't keep up and
"paged' me to death.

One other point: I've heard and can confirm only to a limited degree
that Linux gains more from RAM than from processor speed. There is a
limit to the ram at this point though.

Rehgards,

Ok. I think I know what you mean. But could you  clarify "...in your default
path."  I realize this is truly basic. Please forgive my ignorance. I'm only =
just
beginning to get comfortable with this command line stuff. BTW, I just upgrad=
ed
from Redhat 5.2 to Suse 6.0 last night. All went well. I will try oss and your
suggestion tonight If that goes well I'll compile 2.2.2 or 2.2.3. What is the
difference?

Excellent point!  And what would they put on their prospectus...  The

Hello,

Does anyone know of a good clear resource for xmodmap ?
I have a Sun(style) type5/pc keyboard and would like to map the
keys on the left of the kbrd to their respective duties in CDE.
I've tried xkeycaps in SuSE6.0 but with no luck.  I thought I would
get lucky there since it has my keyboard listed but it does not respond
correctly.
TIA, Mike

Hi,
I'm just trying to get samba going as an
intellectual exercise.
I'm running into a roadblock.
The last time I tried it , was back with
Suse5.1 connecting to win95, and I was
successful.
I used a simple command.

mbmount //z2/c /B -I 192.168.0.2
where /B is where I'm mounting, and 192.168.0.2
is the address of z2.

Now it dosn't work.

When I try it, I get asked for a password,
then the password is always rejected, and it says
check the smbmount page for info.

Well, I changed the "security=3Duser" to "security=3Dshare";
and I did the win95 registry change to set
EnableClearTextPassword=3D1

I still get the same error message.

I have the smbd and nmbd lines in inetd.conf uncommented,
and samba and inetd are started in yast.

Anyone have a clue?
I prefer NFS anyways, so I'm ready to chuck samba
if I can't get this to go.

Go into /usr/lib/oss, and type ./soundon. You need the ./ because the
working directory (i.e. the one you are currently in) is not included in
the path. Typing /usr/lib/oss/soundon will work just as well.

Hi,

I just upgraded SuSE 5.3 to 6.0 and KDE 1.0 to 1.1. I run into minor
problems afterwards: kppp started redialing after finishing login in to
my ISP, fixed that by moving the new file /etc/ppp/options and replacing
it by an empty one.

The permissions for the directory /mnt are set to "a-rwx", so my old
entries in /etc/fstab didn't work for regular users when I tried to
mount my Windog partition in /mnt/win. I guess the intention is to have
other partitons mount in the root directory, as the update did so for
/floppy and /cdrom.

I've a question: I can't execute kvt now. I get this error message:

        kvt: could not chown /dev/ttyp4. Please check SUID bit.

and

        inca:/ $ ll /dev/ttyp4
        crw-rw-rw-   1 root     tty        3,   4 Mar 19 00:52 /dev/ttyp4

Can anybody suggest a fix to this? Thanks.

Greetings,

Could someone give an example of how to patch, let's say, linux-2.2.2 to
.3?

(I've been at 2.2.3 from sources, but I want to get ready to patch .3 to
get to .4 when it comes out.)

In my case, I setup /usr/src/linux-2.2.2 and symlinked to linux. The patch
file(patch-2.2.3) is sitting in /usr/src.

The kernel howto says to do this from /usr/src:
patch -p0 < patch-2.2.3

When I do this, it deviates from the howto and asks for the file to
patch!!? I am lost as to what to do now. From other reading, it seems to
hint that the patch file needs the absolute path to the code to be
patched, but this does not seem reasonable.=20

I must be doing something silly here, so someone please set me straight!!

Lost in Houston.

Steve.

Hi everyone,

Thanks for all the help so far, I spoke to someone else and they
suggested that if there were lots of modem drivers installed under
windows the beastie may be nought but a hapless winmodem after all...

Under windiows sytem control panel, I clicked on the modem and then on
Drivers and it gave me a list:

UNDER \WINDOWS:

PTCOM.VXD
VVOICE.VXD
VMODEM.VXD
VMM32.VXD

UNDER: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM\

VMODEM.VXD
PTCTRL.CPL
PTVCD.VXD
PTSERIAL.VXD

Do you think from this its a winmodem?

Thanks,
Dom

I heard that Bill is gonna re-release Internet Exploder 4 after 5 and
that software from microsoft now will start going in reverse numbers.=20
Sources close to Microsoft say that development time lessens and they
can get bugfree releases out to their "final beta testers" if they
adopt this strategy.  Personally, I am looking forward to getting
Office 4.2 again. Now that was a integrated office productivity package
:)

Hi,
    does anyone knows how to get a IOMega ZIP 100 ATAPI (internal IDE) to
work? At boot time it's correctly recognized at HDB, but when I try to
access to /dev/hdb or /dev/hdb0 it fails...

I moved to 2.2.3 with any problem, the "problem" , if so it could be called, =
is that any info in the /proc f.s. and some other things are changed starting=
 from the ipchanins that now (i thought) include much more thing and maybe th=
e info about routing.
I saw in Documentation/Changes that not *ALL* the minimal requirements are sa=
tisfied but the kernel compiled correctly.

Can anyone (maybe from SuSE) explain me more the policy from what the 6.0 was=
 made with ?

Thanks.

different solutions are thinkable:

1) Let the server do all the work, what means, you fetch *all* your,
your wifes and aunts mail with fetchmail from all their different mail
accounts round the world and "drop" it on the server in the respectice
user account. (all done by fetchmail). From the win98 machine, you=C5=BDll
pop your mail from your "server" and sent it via smtp to your server.
(this affects your =C5=BD98 outlook setup).
you must make sure that the nessesary packets are installed. (they were
in my default install so I never bothered. I tested this setup once a
few distros and reinstalls before)

2) compile a kernel with masquerading support and mask your locak
network. then you=C5=BDll be able to surf, mail whatsever from your win98
machine. This means reading through some documentation and enabling a
few variables in rc.config.

Hope this helps a bit

I know what you mean Steve, I am as lost using the patch command. This
strikes more hard, if you want to include something different from an
kernel update patch, since there is an easier solution for that:

copy your *gzipped* patchfile to .../linux/scripts

in .../srcipts is a file called patch_kernel. just call it, it will look
for the current version, for a collection on gzipped (*.gz) patchfiles
and apply them in correct order. (it=C5=BDs possible that you=C5=BDll have to=
 make
it executable)

I have a script "getpatch" that ftp=C5=BDs you all needet patches from the
current to the desired kernel version. (found it between patches on a
long forgotten ftp-server)

Fuuny , There hasent been any niose over the MickSoft Refund . Its kind of
diaed down.
It will get interesting as M$ starts releasing win2000 , especialy in light
of all the apps that are broken by it. I wonder if they will blame it on a
Y2K compatability issue ??

If it's a winmodem, and you do a pnpdump >/etc/isapnp.conf;
you should get a huge isapnp.conf with about 20 different
registers to set up.
There is web site somewhere that lists all winmodems by
manufacturer. Look at this list's archive, it has been
mentioned 3 or 4 times.

Hi Robert et al;

I can agree with you here. At the moment I have two HD a 120Mb and a
540Mb. When I first install SuSE I had my swap on the 540Mb later I
upgraded to SuSE 5.2. At that time I moved my swap to the slower 120Mb. I
can tell a real change. Much slower now.=20

This is true too. One thing to watch for when you add RAM is that your
cach memory is enough for your new main RAM. For example I have 8Mb Ram
and 64k cach. I plan on upping my Ram to 32Mb as soon as possible. At the
same time I should up my cach too. My manual says upto 512k.=20

Later!

I installed 6.0 the 2.2.re7 version on my non-connected computer.  I was
worried about my isp connection due to the problem e-mails I have seen.
The only problems I have had are the kde won't work as it needs a lib
and the netscape won't work as it need libg++.so.2.7.2
How do I relink these files up?
And if I have to recompile where can I find the instructions to do that?

I am finding the amount of info available to be a vast haybale and I am
looking for a needle.

It is still better than M$ though.  I feel that I am in control=20

Thanks

I had some trouble with mine also. Have you tried /dev/hdb2 to
/dev/hdb4?
I read, that in some cases it=C5=BDs always the 4th partition.
mine shows and works as /dev/hdd.

My major trouble was the undocumented jumper that put it in atapi mode
from whatever mode. Since you see hdb on bootup, I recon it=C5=BDs not that
jumper, cause I didn=C5=BDt see anything.

Hello,

Try adding something like this to /etc/fstab ,

/dev/hdb    /zip       auto           rw,noauto,user 0   0

then cd / ,
mkdir /zip
chmod 000 /zip  (or however you would like your permissions)
then, mount /zip

Hope this helps, Mike

We use VS 5.0 (VFP 5.0) where I work.  When VS 6 came out I pushed for
it, because of the bugs in VFP 5.0.  I was first of 15 pgmrs on the
staff to upgrade to VFP 6.0.  It didn't take too long to realize that
the released version wasn't even as good or as stable as the beta R1
release, which I had tested and on the basis of which I pushed for the
upgrade.  Now, I am too deep into the biggest app the dept has to revert
to VFP 5.0, but rest assured that none of our other prgmrs will share
the egg I have on my face for believing in M$ VFP 6 hype.  (I attended
the FoxPro bash at Orlando last March and "saw" VFP 6 running...  On the
basis of the video tape that M$ produced and showed at the trial, it
becomes apparent that I saw a "laboratory" version of VFP6 at Orlando.) =20

I will never be burned by M$ hype again, because I will never buy or
recommend another M$ product.

I saw on LinuxToday, today, that M$ has announced a 10/6/99 release date
for WIN2000.

Did you ever see a deer in your headlights while driving at night?  They
seem frozen by the glare of the beams in their eyes.  It hinders their
ability to see outside the beam and as a result they many times move in
the wrong direction and die.  "Frozen in the Headlights" describes what
M$ is attempting to do to consumers by releasing another "release"
date.  It is just another in the long line of release dates which were
released to the consumer frozen and delay their possible selection of
Linux to replace Win-NT "solutions".

I would suprise me if even an unstable version of Win2000 (would there
be any other kind?) is released by 10/6/99.  Even if it is, don't count
on a service pack to fix  the bugs before June of next year.  By then
the instability of Win2000 will be infamous and the sounds of thunder
will be the herds of deer stampeeding to Linux.
Yes!

SuSE 6 is libc6 (glibc).  SuSE 5.3 is libc5.  Install the old libc5
libraries from the CD set.
I did that to keep my older apps running. =20
No problems.

Germano,

A Zip drive's device is /dev/hdX4, where X is a, b, c, or d, assuming you
only have 2 IDE connectors. On your system, you should be able to access
your Zip at /dev/hdb4.

Hope this helps.

hehehehe...

Illusionist call that "the distraction".
It keeps the audience from focusing on that dud M$ just released.

If I were Gates I would talk about the Internet too, during the release
of IE5, and I wouldn't take reporters questions.  That could get
embarrassing.

I think there is hope for Matrox, which I hope will be my next video
card.  I say hope because I recall seeing a note that Matrox had
provided access for the sources of the G200, which suggestes to me that
we will eventually see a server, perhaps even for the Marvel, which
personally I'd like to see(Hauppauge which is the card I have, has not
been as open as as Matrox). Support those businesses that support Linux
in a real way.

Sorry to waste bandwidth, but......

SUPPORT HARDWARE MANUFACTURERS THAT SUPPORT LINUX! Matrox has made a
significant step by releasing their code. Thanks Matrox!

does it have jumpers on it? If so its probably not a win modem.
Im no expert.. ;-) but, my understanding/perception is one of winmodems
traits are plug and play meaning the os detects it and issues irqs as
needed. 
Whereas a jumpered modem needs/should be issued an irq by the instaler.
A nice modem detecter is wvdial (as well as an easy ppp dialup program) Id
suggest to first see if it has jumpers, if it does install it and then
install wvdial then see if its detected. You may have to try different irqs
and if its a  compaq you'll have to wrangle with the innane setup in the
bios.
all in all youll know if it works or not

If you want later versions of gnome-core, control-center, and libs
check out the link from www.gnome.org for SuSE 6.0.  There are updated
rpms which bring the core stuff up to 1.03.  I just applied them and
have noticed a few basic changes in things for the better.

Enjoy!!

I installed suse 6.0 over 5.3 on my two machines.  These are dual booted
to Win 98(sorry but I do need Win for work!)
Now after I reran LILO neither machine will completely boot 98.  They
seem to hang up and leave the MS 98 screen on for ever and nothing short
of a hard boot can get rid of it.
any ideas?

I followed the oracle installation as per the sdb "Oracle8 on Linux"
when I do the install it requests that I run the orastab.sh script.
How can I get this to run, nothing seems to work.

  Well, theres two ways it can be done, the patch can be run from either
just outside the directory, or inside the directory its patching,
chances are that if you attempt to patch from oputside the directory and
it asks you which file you wish to patch then the patch was meant to be
run within the directory. Give that a try and see what happens.
  Also, while the file is in gzip form you can patch with the following
command from either inside or outside depending on the characteristics
of the patch:
    zcat patch-2.2.3.tar.gz | patch -p

   I just subscribed to suse-security-announce a couple of=20
days ago (since that was when I ordered my copy of SuSe 6.0),=20
but was surprised to see a couple of SuSe security alerts on=20
Linux Today while not getting these alerts from the mailing=20
list.

   Do posts to that list usually lag behind general announcements=20
to places like Linux Today, or do they perhaps get posted to=20
suse-security before being posted to suse-security-announce?

Hi, Miller

I remember a similar problem when running LILO. This may be due to that
the linux native partition in lilo was marked as active. You should
de-activate it because Bill Gates enjoy when only W98 is the active
partition. Thus, take the boo disk of W98 and then by using FDISK or
PartitionMagic if you have it, de-active linux partition and set active
only W98 partition. Then redo from start. I advice you the use of a boot
loader instead of LILO in MBR.

Good luck,

Gustavo

I think I've seen what might be a partial response, but I'm not sure I'm
clear on this.  I have a home lan connected to the internet via cable
modem, through a linux (SuSE 5.3 currently) machine.  There are 3 to 4
machines on the lan, all running Windows 95, although some (like this one)
are dual boot to OS/2. =20

I want to be able to provide each of my users with their own mailing
address.  My home network is called "alembic", and the fully qualified
domain name (I think that's what it's called) is alembic.ne.mediaone.net.=20
I can receive mail on the Linux machine as skoper(a)alembic.ne.mediaone.net,
and one of my users, eak(a)alembic.ne.mediaone.net can also receive mail
there. =20

So, how do I get the mail from the linux box to the individual users (who
may be running netscape mail, or outlook express, or eudora, or PMMail on
OS/2, or even Lotus Notes?

Thanks in advance.

I have only used LILO or the NT boot loader. Can NT use LOADLIN at all?
I know that the lilo plus NT boot loader approach worked well for me
and can be done if NT is installed on a ntfs partition or fat.  I have
also used LILO to boot both NT and linux.  This was just as simple.  I
used yast to setup NT installed to /dev/hdb and all went as expected.

Hi-

Thanks to the folks who sent me suggestion on how to get my sound card
working.  I finally gave up on trying to configure it using isapnp. I
found that if I compiled the sound support directly into the kernel
instead of doing it as a module I was presented with an opportunity to
directly assign the IO ports and irq in the kernel configuration menu.=20
When I rebooted with the new kernel the sound worked just fine.

On to the parallel ports and printers.

LILO will not boot!

Worked all day today on my first install of Linux (SuSE 6.0) and it=20
was fun - mostly. Installed on 2.75GB disk space with Win95 and=20
BootMagic loader.

Installed LILO to the Boot Sector of root partition, the second=20
choice in YaST > Configuring LILO.

After selecting Linux in the bootloader menu:

What is wrong and what to do about it?

    I came across this how to last nite that worked so well I thought
I'd pass it on
http://linux-howto.com/ptHO=
WTO/mini/Loadlin+Win95>

essentially you put loadlin and vmlinuz in C:\

Then add this to your config.sys and autoexec.bat
perviously Ive used a linux.bat file    C:\loadlin.exe  vmlinuz
root=3D/dev/hdc..?  ro
this gives you a nice loader menu IF you plan a dual boot have a look at
this
------------------------------------------------------------
[clipped from the how-to]
6.2.  Method 2.

  This method is a bit more involved, but offers the greatest
  flexibility. What this method does it create your own custom boot
  menu, though it does not replace the Windows 95 boot menu. You will
  need a Config.sys and an Autoexec.bat file.

  =C2=B7  First you will need to define a Startup Menu in Config.sys (my
     comments to you are in parenthesis):

______________________________________________________________________
               [menu]
menuitem=3DLinux, Boot to Linux  (This defines a Menu Block and gives it a
description).
menuitem=3DWin95, Boot to Windows 95
menucolor=3D15,1  (This gives a blue background with bright white text)
menudefault=3DLinux, 15  (This sets the default menuitem
and waits up to 15 seconds for input).

               [linux]
shell=3Dc:\loadlin.exe vmlinuz root=3D/dev/hd??? ro  (where ?? is your linux /
partition  ie: a1
               [win95]
(Include the normal contents of your config.sys file here. If you didnot
have a config.sys file before now, then leave this section blank).

______________________________________________________________________

  =C2=B7  Save and exit your Config.sys file. If you want, you can use this
     Config.sys template to get started.

  =C2=B7  Next, edit your Autoexec.bat file (my comments to you are in
     parenthesis):

______________________________________________________________________
               goto=20

               :win95
               (Include the normal contents of your autoexec.bat file
here. If you did not have an autoexec.bat file before now, then leave this
sectionblank).

______________________________________________________________________
  =C2=B7  Save and exit your Autoexec.bat file. If you want, you can use this

     Autoexec.bat template to get started. That should do it. The next
     time you reboot, you should get a Start Up menu with the option to
     boot to Linux or Windows 95.

It pops up an error saying that the registration failed, and to try
manual registration.
I do however receive a screen showing my assigned customer ID and
registration key!!!!
Nonetheless, when I try to enter these, the regsitration will not accept
them.

Has anyone had this problem???  StarDivision is ignoring my emails and I
cannot find a contact phone numer for StarDivision anywhere.

So far, my opinion of StarDivision is right up there with that other
Starr.  Their licensing/media key/customer number/decrypt key really
sucks.  Makes microsoft look like good guys!  Well, its free right?  Not
really, since I'll probably have to end up paying for a copy just to get
it registered properly!

I installed SO without a problem when I was running RH 5.2.  This is my
first attempt while running SuSE 6.0, and it failed with a segmentation
fault almost immediately. =20
Did you run into that?

Greetings!

After finishing the default install of SUSE 5.3, installing the latest
Xserver (3.3.3.1?), configuring with Sax and starting up the default desktop
(FVWM2?), the mouse cursor will get stuck at the top of the screen.  I'm
using a PS/2 Logitech wheel mouse.  The current error message I'm getting
right now is that the Xserver has lost contact with /dev/mouse.  Do I need
to create symlink to point /dev/mouse/ to /dev/ps2aux? Or do I need a
special X-driver for my mouse?

Thanks!

Christopher Reimer

When I run

df -h -m

I get the following:

Filesystem         MB-blocks    Used Available Capacity Mounted on
/dev/hda1                874     111      713     13%   /

My question is:
hda1 started out as a 1.2 g drive, hdc1 started out as 8.4 g drive.  Why
are the sizes reported so much lower than the actual drive size?  Did I do
something wrong in defining them?  Is there space that is not being
reported?

Hope this isn't a tiresome question.  I have read info df and looked
through a couple of books here, but am not finding an explanation (that I
understand at any rate).

Thanks for any help.

  I don't recall ever seeing anyone use loadlin within the NT loader, I
know you can use the NT loader instead of lilo to boot linux, but don't
think you can use loadlin within the NT loader.

Hi, Jerry
I have installed so5.0 from suse 6.0  CDs. But instead to use ./setup you
should write "sosetup". Try it and reply me in case of unsuccessful
attempt.

The stardivison protection scheme is boring, but they must protect
themselves, no? The main problem is that one MUST give the good visit
card in the very beginning of the installation. I had to write my name
(case included), first name and e-mail, and these can't be changed
before registering (must delete and reinstall if mistyped). Done that,
all goes right for me, the numbers are the same for linux and windows,
it's very handy to have the same application on the two systems.

I also have the "./setup:window manager didn't set icon sizes - using
default message", but it starts without problem.

However, it seems staroffice needs a great amount of real memory : I
have a 166 pentium with 32Mo ram and when loading netscape after star I
had a crash (hard crash, I think swap crash), although the cache was not
full, far from. (100Mo cache).

I Think there is a problem with fdisk within suse 6.0
I used to work with fdisk in 5.2 5.3 without problem (I have 95/nt/linux
on the same drive)
but recently When trying this I had a crash : Linux run always nice, but
win95 seems never to start and bill's fdisk start running endlessly the
hard drive (I waited 5 minutes then reboot)
Caldera opendos fdisk run, but do not recognise linux and scratch linux
partition.

Having a paper map of the partition, I reboot from cd and remake the
partition table with 5.3 fdisk. I plan to experiment with this, but the
operation wipes out all the win data (linux's is safe) and I don't need
this too often...

I think it's not possible to use loadlin with NTFS only partition. with
nt on FAT, it's probably possible but tricky. I Think i'ts always
usefull to have a dos partition (at least some Mb) in the beginning.

Ah, but according to the Linux Weekly News of late Friday or Saturday, Siemens
is going big time with Linux Servers, and if I'm not mistaken they are the sa=

company that plans to put Linux on their SAP servers.  Distribution:  SuSE !!!

I recently saw a packaged mentioned on the usenet called "bootparm" or
"bootparam". It supposedly was a way to add linux to the NT bootloader.
You probably install lilo in the linux partition, not the MBR, then
put a pointer to it in the NT boot loader menu.

Here is my output using the switches you specified:

merwyn ~: df -h -m
Filesystem         MB-blocks    Used Available Capacity Mounted on
/dev/hda2               5483    1062     4137     20%   /
/dev/hdb1               2919     151     2617      5%   /home
/dev/sda1                988     211      726     23%   /jaz

Now try using the df command with no switches and see what you get.=20
Mine says:

merwyn ~: df
Filesystem         1024-blocks  Used Available Capacity Mounted on
/dev/hda2            5615309 1087741  4236792     20%   /

/dev/sda1            1011810  215172   744365     22%   /jaz

The first ones make the switches display things slightly differently. =20

Why is it that this program can't be used without a mouse? I mean
sometimes (after recompiling kernel) strange thins happens and my mouse
won't work:( Sometimes I just have to run SAX and use the old
configuration (from a backup) and it works. Other times it doesn't, and
then SAX is hell, because (to my knowledge) I can't use the keyboard on
the confirmation dialog after hitting exit!

While on the subject, why is it that my mouse seems to disappear?

No David, you didn't do anything wrong. What you need to know is that
"1000" in computer talk is actually 1024.  If you were to do a simple
'df' you would get the 1024KB listing.  When you added the -m parameter
you told Linux to divide the 1024KB listings by 1024 to get the MB
listings.  Do the math, convince yourself!

Of course, that's the first instruction in the install procedure. =20
Not only did I try that I also switched to the directory that contains
'setup' and ran it, to no avail.  I also added /tmp/sv001.tmp to my
LD_LIBRARY_PATH and retried both sosetup and setup.  No joy.  I searched
DejaNews and found many there who could not add SO5 while running KDE.=20
I decided that I value KDE more than SO5.
Thanks anyway.

Hello:

I am trying to compile the Linux 3Com network adapter driver, 3c59x.c,
version 0.99H without success.  The distribution is SuSE 5.2 with standard
kernel 2.0.33.  The compiler is gcc version 2.7.2.1.

Driver 3c59x.c, version 0.49J, 2/7/98--the driver native to this
distribution-- compiles without difficulty.  Version 0.99H, 11/17/98, of the
driver always fails to compile.

This is the compile command I am using.  Verbose mode is on.  Can anyone
interpret these messages and give me a clue where the problem may be?

Interesting, especially how it ends an a concillitory note.  Agi-prop?

Where I work we have the same sort of culture.  Anyone can, and does,
email anyone else.
I prefer email to phone for the simple reason when some one asks for a
change in a program, or wants to tell me about a bug, I want it in
writing.  When people call and begin discussing some topic, and I don't
care what the topic is, I usually say I am "too busy to hold a phone
conference right now, would they please email me?"  I want that audit
trail.  If someone tells me they can't put it in writing my 'crap'
detector goes off, and I become immediately suspicious.  I've had people
say one thing to me and another thing to some one else.  Email locks
their "story" in, and if there are problems they have to re-explain what
they mean.  It has cut down on 990f the office turmoil  associated
with "miscommunications" and office politics.

If M$ doesn't retain their email culture my first assumption is that
they are not being honest.
If they were being honest their first defense against a DOJ attorney
attempting to distort the meaning of an email message is to display and
read all the email messages on that topic the preceeded and followed the
msg in question.   The truth will be obvious, most of the time.

I noticed that SuSE have posted a 2.2.3 kernel tarball on their website.  As
there don't seem to be any instructions perhaps someone can help me out...

1. is this kernel any different from the "standard" 2.2.3 kernel?  In other
words, does SuSE modify the kernel for use on their OS?

2. the SuSE 6.0 box says that it is 2.2 ready but shipped with 2.0.36.  Is th=
is
really true or are there other packages that still need to be upgraded to run
the 2.2.3 kernel?  If so, is there a list somewhere?

3. Redhat has posted an upgrade HowTo (with dire warnings about upgrading).  =
Is
there some similar howto or instructions available for SuSE?

Thanks, Gerry

I'm having some not so serious problems after compiling a new (2.2.3)
kernel. The first symptom is the fact that during bootup I get some
messages (Which I can't remember, and I've been looking trough faqs as
well to see if they are there.) with regards to some module loading
problems. (Can't find module MAJOR 4 something or other;)

And I compiled some filesystems as modules, and I wonder, shouldn't
these be loaded when needed? They didn't on my system, so I recompiled
the kernel with everything inside. (When I tried modprobe I got can't
find module...)

The ppp device is missing. (I did configure that into the kernel.) Or
rather, I get temporaryily unavailable, which isn't good, since it is
what I get whenever I try.  (And I can't find the hisax module with
modprobe, this one I think I compiled as a module.)

So, I'm a bit lost now. Yeah, I've followed the compil instructions in
the distrib, I've read in the SuSE manual. (So I think I'm not turning
to the list in an untimely manner.)

Any help appricieated.

(This is, I think loosly knit to the XFree86 problems I experience as
well, ie. mouse not working.)

What you are describing is classic symptoms of an irq conflict.
Do 'cat/proc/interrupts' while things are running fine and write down
what it shows you.
Then, when things seem funny, do that command again and compare the
results.

Let me guess: You downloaded it with netscape and it did add additional

Download it with wget or ftp.

I'll do that on the working setup I have. I'll see what happens on the
nonworking setup, but read below for more info about that. (I'm very
pleased with myself for not wading into an upgrade without a prober
backup;)=20

That's not easy to do because I still don't know how to navigate in X
(or KDE) without a mouse, so it is useless to do anything inside the
windowing environment when the mouse isn't working.

And if the windowing environment isn't up, I don't use mouse support,
which then won't let me use the commands you describe.

A catch 22.

        In X-windows open up the Kppp interface by selecting the "internet"=20
option.  Click on setup and then go for the "device" tab.  Back space=20

How would I remove all hardware using IRQs, or rather the setup for
those. I probably need to uninstall my network card, my SB AWE, TeleS
ISDN 16.3c. Only the network card is working properly at the moment
anyway.

Could an extra SB Live! card give some problems (with regards to the SB
AWE)? If I could get _ANY_ windows to install on my computer I could
have taken a note of the data for the cards there, but alas, I can't get
any installation program to finish on my system. (ASUS P2B-DS, Dual P-II
400, some fairly standard cards (extra scsi controller, the two SB
cards, the TeleS, the network card 3com 3c905 IIRC).

At the moment there are lots of hardware in there which I can't utilise
because I haven't had the time/luck to get an OS up which will use it.
(I need NT so that I can use my SB Live! on both processors, I can't get
NT 4 up, only NT 5 beta 2, but it doesn't recognise the drivers I have
for the TeleS card.)

Bleeding edge...

Edit your /etc/ppp/options file and remove the word "lock".

Ok, when trying to unzip a tar.gz file I had downloaded I got the
message: "Multipart or something not supported get a newer version."

Shouldn't the gzip on the SuSE 6.0 distro be farily new? Why on earth
did I get that error. Well, I just gunzipped it at work and moved the
tar file via my effective sneaker net.

Yes, ok with your comments but I need the linux box working as a samba server
too. Is that a problem ?
May the samba server have any conflict with the gateway?

I've just tried to configure a ppp conection in my linux box and the samba
server doesn 't work anymore.

I need to disable the parameter of DNS in parameters of yast to reenable the
samba server.

What's happening here ?

Thanks for your comments and escuseme for my english.

Has anyone had luck getting kwintv to function with the Hauppague WinTV Board=

I have the bt drivers and vid for linux in the kernel compiled as modules. I
can get whatever the last channel I was viewing in windoze to play, but no
matter what channel I select from my channel list (created from auto scan) it
allways remains on the the last channel viewed from win98 boot.... Any Ideas
would be greatly appreciated.
        On another note, I have installed the VMWARE Virtual machine under
Linux. All went very smooth and I even booted Win98 in a box on my SuSE Linux
desktop, but after a restart I get a complaint from PVM (Parrallel Virtual
Machine) that it is only compatible to kernel ver 2.0.32 and I am runnig 2.0.=
36
with SuSE 6.0 ... Strange that it worked outa the box (just after setup) but
not after restart. I have d/l'ed a new ver. 3.4 of PVM but still have to
install it... I am looking for a way to fake out PVM 3.11 into thinking 2.0.36
is 2.0.32 ... Any ideas would be greatly appreciated...=20

You have TWO sound cards plugged into your computer?  !!!
They may be hogging most of the available irq's....  Choose one, remove
the other.

Each periperhal card (sound, net, etc.) will have one or more 'default'
irs's and base addresses.
Write them down on a sheet of paper and compare them to see which ones
are attempting to use the same irq - base address.  Assign each card to
a unique set of irqs and base addresses.  Reset any card jumpers to
match your assignments, if possible.
Scsi cards also need port settings to be unique.

NT 5 beta 2, eh?  Talk about working in dreamland...

Say, while your are at it, I have the Calculus III textbook that you can
use do do some introductory diffi-q stuff.  What?  You haven't studied
Calculus I and II?  (get my point?)

Well, I want a soundcard to work with under linux. The SB Live! card
doesn't have a driver (yet). I need the SB Live! under NT 4 so that I
can connect some DAT gear to the computer. Very important for me. It
also helps while playing back some large compositions;)

Ah, and I have a large 18GB harddisk which is supposed to be my
mastering HD for a CD, thus I need the digital i/o on the SB Live card.

It worked under Win98 (except for the ISDN card, which was a RAS, CAPI
or something problem) so I assume it would be possible to make it work
under linux. The Rom is PnP and recognizes my two scsi controllers (one
on the MB), it recognizes the SB AWE 64, and the network card.

I haven't dared turning on IDE yet, because it makes it impossible to
install anything under windows, but windows works with them after
install...

I assume I'll need to find manuals for everything (I doubt my ISDN
card's manual is nearby), take a note of all that. Then physically work
on the cards to do the rest. Well I assume (as I noted above) that none
of these cards have default settings which overlap, since they worked
under Win98.

No problem there, I think, since everything boots and comes up.

Mmmm, you mean get 98 or NT 4 up? Well, I had 98 up, had to erase it for
the normal reasons one erase 98. (something fucked up my boot partition
majorly, later I learned that it was lilo which didn't like IDE turned
on when configuring.)

I've tried to install NT 4 three times, from three different sets, not
possible, the setup program will always crash during setup.

NT 5 beta 2 works without problems, until I try to install my ISDN card.
The stupid setup program on the CD Rom crashes.

I'm hoping for an NT 5 beta 3 trial, it might have the ISDN problem
fixed.

I have dl'd the usb file but not installed. I am in need of a new modem

modems available. Has anyone tried one? Will they work in Linux?
I'm a little short on irq's, usb could really help out.

Exactly as the readme suggests.

No joy. But I allready got some help which suggests I should turn of
serial probing, I'll test that to get rid of some problems. Then I'll go
ahead with getting the correct data for my cards in place. Perhaps more
will work then.

HI All;

I plan on getting a sound card just to play with. I don't want to put any
real money into it. Sooooo, looking at the prices I find one listed as=20
"SB16 compatible PNP" for 25 DM (ca 15$). ORRRR next in price are=20
"Creative SB 16 ISA", "Creative SB 64 PCI", "TerraTec 128i", or "Diamond
Sonicimpact S90" all at 49 DM each (ca 30$). I don't want to spend anymore
than that on a card.

Not knowing a durn thing about them, will one of them work with Linux?=20
Also if I get the more costly card which should I get? My system is
a 486/33 all EIDE (no SCSI at all) it was built in 1992.=20

TIA!

When you untar the kernel you will find mountains of documentation, including=
 a

Hi All;

I was about to order 4Mb Ram chips yesterday when the order taker asked me
which I wanted 30 or 72 pin chips.....

Well, I don't know. Can anyone tell me how to tell which I need? I have a=20
"OPTI-486WB" motherboard that was made in 1992. It has 8 slots with 1MB chips=
=20
in each now.

Looking in the manual, one place it refers to the chips as "4MB SIM DRAM",
another says "4M x 9 OF SIM" and yet another says "4M x 9,4 pcs". No where
does it say anything about pins.=20

TIA!

Gerry,

I can't say anything about the SuSE tarbal.  Havent even looked at it.  I got=
 mine
from a Linux kerel mirror.  My guess is, if the file name has SuSE it is a Su=
SE
modified kernel if not it is the "raw" kernel.  I haven't had any new problems
with the 2.2.3 kernel.  My kscd CD player still doesn't work.  That started w=
ith
2.2.1.

There are some changes that can get you with the 2.2.x kernel.  On is that it
moved the default  lp assignments.  I don't remember the details of this, but=
 if
(when) you find your printer doesn't work, don't panic.  Just search the arch=
ives
of this list and you should find an answer.

HTH,

Steve

  Correct, you install lilo, but NOT in the MBR otherwise you defeat the
purpose of using the NT loader to boot to NT/Linux.

I seem to remember at one point SuSE was expecting to ship 6.0 with a PE

  You can usually tell by the length of the chips or slots, but since
you don't have both to compare the lengths against that won't really
help. Judging by your description above though, I would say that you are
currently using 30pin chips which are about 1.5" shorter then 72pin
chips.

Subject: [SuSE Linux] Sorry, the modem is not ready

hi all,
i'm still trying to connect my linux-box with the internet and having a
problem with kppp. when i try to start the connection it always tells
me: 'Sorry, the modem is not ready'.
on the other hand, when i try 'query modem' from within the kppp
configuration it first tells me 'modem ready' and then gives me the
following output:

ATI:     56000
ATI 1:  042 171
ATI 2:  ROM Checksum Verified
ATI 3:  Rev 2.000-01 (c) 1998 SupraExpress 56ePRO
ATI 4:
ATI 5:
ATI 6:  008 IT 00
ATI 7:  RCV56DPF-PLL L8571A Rev 24.00/24.00

i can't understand, why it tells me 'modem ready' within the modem
query-thing, detects my modem right (diamond supraexpress 56e) and gives
me afterwards this 'sorry, the modem is not ready' message. and of
course the modem IS ready (well, at least under windows it is).
please help me, I'm trying this internet-connection-thing already since
three or four weeks (at least).

thank you

ulrich

p.s. thank you, allen carpenter for the answer to my 'kppp settings for
t-online'. a second try got me the needed informations!

I am using a dell inspiron 7000 with 128mb of memory, 8mb ati rage LT
II agp card, 366mhz Pentium II processor.  I run Linux and vmware NT on
it quite well.  The dell inspiron has a 15" screen and its a big guy.=20
Has a cd and floppy drive.  Its fast!!  Portable desktop.  Cautionary
note regarding the ATI Rage LT II.  You will need the XI Graphics
package which is commercial or download the hacked Mach 64 drivers.

It runs both NT and linux quite well!!

very odd. did you try "tar xzf tarfile.tar.gz" ?
in the early days (before I learned tar works with gz files) I used
"gunzip tarfile.tar.gz" and "tar xf ....."

there are some different zip-tools, that might give unexpected results.

If it is a PS/2 mouse, you should select PS/2 in SaX.  Does GPM work on
the console? =20

The default lp is lp1 under 2.0.x, and it was changed to lp0 under
2.2.x.  Additional devices increment from there.

/biz/needs/linux/support/

Greetings-
As a connoisseur of Linux, I delight in using and promoting the SuSE distribu=
tion
with all the amenities in applications and scripts, it is with joy that many =
users
in the U.S.'s largest state have joined in this venture.

Having said this, there remains a desparity between=20
the two sites suse.de and suse.com in content, information and offerings.
As an example, today is 3-21-99 in Anchorage, AK, and viewing the URL
http://www.suse.com/index_us.html> I see a total of =
5 bulleted points of
interest. None new in nature, unless you didn't know about 6.0 being released.
Granted, http://www.suse.de/e/index.html> has more, but =
you don't get sent to this page
when you access the map at http://www.suse.com>.

Now on htt=
p://www.suse.de/> there are today, 18 bulleted points of interest
with "new" tags as well on some. These tags range from a new beta release
to new software updates. =20

Now, I am employed as a professional in the data world, have vendors calling
on us daily, as we have offerings ranging from ATM services to dry pairs,
dialup Internet to OC3's, retail Long Distance to wholesale MTS and more. I v=
isit
conferences as often as time permits, and I do seek the vendor information
necessary to make a critical judgement.=20

Why should it be different using SuSE's web sites ? I will be marketing
to users world wide and will be using someone's distribution, and a web
site that has current info is going a long way to cutting down costs for
our company and the vendor.

Therefore, I entreat the folks in charge of the English site to=20
help in working out a new push for quality in the English web site,
consistent with the main thrust of SuSE.

Best Regards
-Dee

I get the error message:

Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 08:02

Whenever I try running any new kernel now ? Is this hardware failing ?

I have the "Creative SB 16 ISA" and it works fine on my SuSE 5.3 system.  I h=

Hi folks,

I'm writing some perl script using xemacs.  I really like this editor.
There are a few features that drive me nuts though.  One of these is the
fact that under at least some circumstances it won't allow me to use the
tab key.  I am using what I believe to be the default settings for
editing perl.  Does anybody know how to get the tab key to do its thing
in xemacs?

TIA,

Steve

The 2.2.3 kernel runs properly on the standard=20
suse6 distribution.
There is a difference in the setup for compiling
a kernel on suse6, depending on whether you want a
2.0* kernel or a 2.2* kernel.
The 2.036 kernel needs to be compiled with the older
gcc version; whereas the 2.2* kernel is best compiled with egcs.
Under suse6, there is a package called "gcc front".
If you install it, you can compile the 2.0.36 kernel;
if you don't install it, you have egcs as your compiler,
which can effectively compilr the 2.2.* series kernels.

Whoh!!!!!!!  30 pin simms are almost obsolete.
72 pin simms are getting there.
The new standard are pc-100 compliant dimms.
Look at your motherboard manual, you may need 30 pin,
but they should be dirt cheap.
30 pins simms are about 2.5 inches long ; and
72 pin simms are about 4 inches long.
Look at the slots on your motherboard.

Thanks, Jim,

I honestly have not considered that. I think I ought to do so before I
decide to put together a new Linux box. Doing so may save me some real
headaches!

Ulrich,

        I used xisp with 5.3, and because of quirks with my isp when I upgrad=
ed
to 6.0 I was forced to find something else. I downloaded ezppp and it
works like a charm. I could however never get kppp to work. It gave me
weird errors and just plain wouldn't work. I run several versions of
Unix connected to a SuSE linux box and ezppp works well, and it's as the
name says EZ. :)
        Give it a try..or if you are using a version of pppd before 2.3 xisp
should work very well for you.

TTFN,

He needs 30 pin SIMMs.  In 1992, the best you could get would have been a
hybrid, 4 72 pin and 4 30 pin SIMMs.  He says they're all 1 meg, but he
didn't say there were two different sizes, so they'd all be the same, and
given the vintage of the board, they should all be 30 pin.

I just upgraded to SUSE 6.0, and now my mouse is not working in X on my
user account. It works fine under root, and works in GPM under the user
account. I presume that there's a simple setting out-of-whack, but I
couldn't find one.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!
Mike

Actually Dee, I think they need to get a bit snazzier as well.  I mean they h=
ave a
chameleon as a mascot and it comes in one color GREEN.  Go figure?  This may =
sound like a
trivial jab, but I believe it hits at a core lack of excitement is SuSE's mar=
keting
image.  I saw a good book today in the bookstore that went through the functi=
ons and
features of Star Office, the KDE, and many more Linux goodies.  This book had=
 a dist of
another Linux on the included CD.  Yes, the SuSE book is likely the best tech=
nical
resource available with a Linux dist.  The book I am taking about was full of=
 airbrushed
color pictures.  It's glitzy.  It will sell.

I like SuSE and I have the feeling that the folks on this list are above aver=
age in their
focus and knowledge in comparison to other dist's mailing lists.  I want to s=
ee SuSE
grow.  I don't want one distribution to become the Microsoft of Linux.

I am beginning to formulate some ideas of how SuSE could make fundamental cha=
nges in
thins like YAST and really improve the value of this already find product.  I=
 was
thinking today that the folks at SuSE should step back and really challenge t=
heir
paradigm.  Not because it is bad, but because I believe it could be much bett=
er.

I want to make it clear that I am not dissing SuSE.  I find it much easier to=
 work on my
SuSE box than I do on my Solaris box.  Things just tend to fall into place be=
tter.  I am
a few versions of Solaris behind, so that might not be a fair comparison.  No=
netheless, I
have accomplished an incredible amount on this box that I don't believe I wou=
ld have done
as easily on either NT (too "black box") or on Solaris (too arcane).  I hope =
this is
taken in the sense of constructive criticism that I intend.

I've recently been helped whith this;) Go to /etc/rc.d/ and do ./apache
start and it should work. You can also do stop and restart on the progam
in that script.

Same goes for the other scripts in that directory.

(A tip, also edit the httpd.conf file in /etc/apache so that Override
Allow None is change to Override Allow All. That is if you plan to add
.htaccess files in directories.)

My squid, and cron deamon failed to load. If anyone has any advice. i'd

I reported a few days ago a problem I had with KDE1.1+SuSE6.0+Xfstt0.9:
whenever I open Kmail or Kfm or I run through the Kmenu and its sub-menus, it
takes a long time to display what it has to display. I asked people on this m=
ai
lto do some test. Right now just another italian did the test and reported a
similar problem as mine. I hope is not an i18n problem! :-)

The setup:
KDE 1.1
SuSE 6.0 (kernel 2.0.36 and 2.2.2)
Xfstt 0.9.10
more than 200 true type fonts

What happened:
Kmail:
If in Kmail there are more than 1 letter in the inbox folder it takes up to
more 1 minute to open Kmail. If there are no messages in the inbox folder it
takes a shorter time to open but then as soon as you open a folder with any
mail in it it takes a loooong time to open such a folder.
I thought it was a Kmail bug but the Stefan Taferner, the author of Kmail, to=
ld
me:
" I have xfstt running without problems. Seems that you have another
problem here..."

KFM:
It takes up to 1 min to display a directory's content in datailed mode. No
problem when you use the "icon view".

KMenu:
It takes a few second to display the content of submenus whenever you run
through it.

These didn't happen with KDE1.0, XFree3.3.2, xfstt09.10 and more than 200 ttf.
And with KDE1.1, XFree3.3.3 BUT with just 8 tt fonts.

The question is:
is this a bug of:
KDE [  ]     XFREE3.3.3 [   ]     .....[   ]

Just for your information. But I like to have it working with more than a doz=
en
of ttfonts, otherwise GIMP is useless for me!

Great post Dee. So you are not alone in this I will echo it and do the
usually prohibitive "me too" in this regard. Hopefully they will do
whatever it takes to address this as this is one point I have heard
mentioned on several fronts lately in respect to the SuSE distribution.

Hi,
    seen the frequency of some questions (one for all: 'pppd daemon died
unexpectedly'... ;), shouldn't be a good idea to make and maintain a page of
'SuSE Linux mailing list FAQ' where to put the solution to the most common
problems of SuSE?? Does something similar exist? I don't think so. The guys
asking should only look at that page and joy... If someone is interested,
tell me. Eventually I volunteer to host and maintain it.

Note that if you are not running linux as root, you should do something else
in order to get it work; this note is by al simcoe, who told me it:

>Are you running Linux as "root"?

>I could boot up "Kppp" only as root but

    I haven't tried, yet, so I don't know exactly how/why/if it works.

In this day and age the only work such a mainter should have to do is
cutting and pasting. I'm for a cgi/php/perl based faq solution.

If someone has some good DB designs for a faq and the schemas and sqls
for it then I would like to have a look at if for a possible php/web
implementation.

I've been looking at some DB designs myself but it's just this last week
that my linux has been up to speed for some development, so it will take
some time before I get around to code all my projects (diary, newspaper
(as if there isn't enough such engines), faq, picture db), but turn
around is really fast, I started on the diary this friday and allready
have most of it done.

Hi SuSE folks!

I'm posting this question second time because I ain't got any answer on
it. I use SuSE 6.0 distro with KDE as a desktop and kppp for connection
with Internet. When my kppp connection with Internet is established I
can't launch Netscape4.5 or any other application. I can open KDE menus,
desktop sound and mouse are working but all applications look like
locked. Only when I drop connection then I can launch Netscape and
others applications. If I launch Netscape before connection with
Internet it works fine during connection, but if I close Netscape during
connection I can't invoke it again till I drop connection. Exactly the
same behave others applications.

Does somebody know why kppp is locking Netscape and others programs
during connection?

Any help will be gladly appreciated

Thanks

Alex

Hi,

All is in the title.

I've to install SuSE-Linux with a Mylex DAC 960 card.

There is a Mylex module in the distribution, the kernel seems to see the card,
but complain to not recognize the disk.

What is wrong? Do I have to add some parameters in boot time?

Thanks very much for any help.

Ph.

Hello all -

I am looking for a utility that allows me to mount an ext2 filesystem when I
am in Win98.

I work both OS's, and, too often, find myself in W98, needing to access a
file on my Linux system (same hard drive).  Is there a utility that would
allow me to look at or copy over a text file from my Suse 6.0 partition to
W98 without having to reboot?

Obviously, if I am already in Linux, no problems copying something over to
my vfat partition.

I have already tried fsdext2 by Peter van Sebille - unfortunately it crashes
my system (was intended for W95, and installs a couple of vxd's - probably
incompatible).

 There is setup instructions for ESS soundcards in=20
/usr/src/linux/documentation/sound

Most common problems seem to be irq conflicts
with the printer port, not having the
right entries in /etc/conf.modules
to initialize the sound module, and not
issuing the right modprobe commands.

When you boot, does the system give you a log entry
saying the card was "initialized" ? Or just "identified".?

If it was initialized, then you have a conf.modules
problem. If it wasn't initialized, you have
an irq conflict or your isapnp.conf has an error.

I have successfully compiled and installed my first kernel.
I was in a state of shock when 2.2.3  was running after reboot. Too Cool.
However my mouse hates me.
I disabled gpm which has always caused me mouse problems.=20
When x starts my cursor stays in the middle of the screen.
I run sax and that fixes it till my next reboot.
This is very strange to me because I thought if I fix it in sax it would
stay fixed but nope.....
I did add ps2 mouse support in kernel....Any ideas?

I would also like to say THANKS for all the past help I have received
through this mail list.
Whoever said there was poor support for linux smokes crack.
Thanks Again

No .. thankfully it installed without a hiccup.  Only the registration seems
to fail.
I have a lot of memory though and that might save me.

Very strange.  I guess I will go about deleting the damn install and trying
again as someone else suggested.  Does anyone have a clue as to what files I
need to delete?

I can only comment on K6-2's, they are the only ones i have used, 3 to date,
all have been fantastic.  I think that in general, a cpu by itself is
meaningless.  you must consider thecache/ mb and ram as well.
the amd's are socket 7 boards, which i think are very mature.
couple a k6-2 with a 100Mhz board, 64Mb of PC100 ram and 512kb of cache, you
will spend less than an intel board and be happy.
buy from a known reputable dealer.  stick with a good board.  (my personal
favorites are asus and soyo)  wathch the specs, soem boards clock down for
certain chips, a 400 @ board speed of 66hz does not outperform a 300 @
100Mhz.

in my past i have used 8088's to alphas to p5/p6/p7 and amd's
the amd's have been the best bang for the buck.  i use dell p2's at work
with nt4.0 & rh5.2  they are ok.

at home however, i dropped $300 for the above and am running SuSE6.0 KDE is
a memory hog, which is no surprise better off with more than 64Mb.  Solaris
x86 w/CDE is abotu the same.  i am happy and satisfied.

I think there is more that one variable in rc.config. Better use yast to
set up your network and card.

It might be possible, that you have to activate / change settings in
conf.modules.=20

the information I gain from your mail is a bit to less.

Staroffice 5.0 installed and registered just fine for me, but I have a
question. There is a new filter patch for Staroffice 5.0 and I was
wondering if anyone had an ftp address for the patch..or does one have
to download the new patched version ..all 70some megs of it?

combination.  Trying to run Linux SuSE 5.3 or 6.0 .

Has anyone had any success with with combination??  I am really starting
to pull my hair out (ouch!!)

I get the CD-rom to boot, then I get a "boot failed" message
thanks

=C2=BFDoes anybody know if the Realplayer 5.0 plugin for Nestscape
Cummunicator 4.5 works under Suse 6.0?
I've tried to follow up the instructions but I don't get it working.
Thanks.

I have installed SuSE 5.3 on a Gigabyte board but that was with a PII.
Having tried Linux on various other chip/board combo's without problem think
it's probably unlikely that that is the problem.

When do you get the boot failed message?, immediately after it succesfully
boots from the CD. If so maybe try the floppy disk boot first.

The module URI::URL isn't part of the perl distribution. Get it
from CPAN:

ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/languages/perl/CPAN/mo=
dules/by-module/URI/URI-1.00.tar.gz>

you'll also need the MIME::Base64 module

Ciao,

 I have a Micron Vetix LXI with a BB440FX dual PPro 200 motherboard with
built in Cirrus Logic Creative Labs CS-GD54M40 graphics with 1MB of
video ram. According to the specification sheet from Micron this chip
has Max vertical refresh rate of 87 Hz, maximum 64,000 colors and a
maximum resolution of 1280x1024x16 colors.

The monitor is a Dell Ultrascan 17TX 17 inch monitor with horizontal
frequency of 30-85kHz and vertical frequency of 48-150kHz.

I am using XFree86 3.3.3 on SuSE 6.0 with for this system.  I have only
been able to get a 800x600x8  resolution to work.

My question is: Can anyone help with a XConfig for this video adapter.

TIA

I opted for buying the cd version of it instead of downloading it.  The
update occurs rather well on SuSE 6 systems; in fact, when you do the
patch it finds the earlier install, alerts you to the glibc
requirement, says it cannot find the glibc libs, but you are using SuSE
6 so all should be fine.  I always thought that anyways!!  I knew that
if I used SuSE 6 all would be well :)

Same problem as I have. Save over the file called /etc/XFree86Config (or
something similar, look the name up with ls /etc/X*.

I just tried to play a Realaudio file with Suse6, and
Rvplayer5.0 and got a general error.

I did a library dependency and it seems I'm missing some
libs.

I'm going to try and copy them into my cache from my old 5.3
setup and see if it works.
These are the same files needed to run Netscape 4.51. I guess
they are mixing libc5 and libc6.

Well I setup symlinks, and copied my old libs into suse6
and did a ldconfig.
The Realplayer has all of it's ldd dependencies satisfied,
yet it still won't work.

It starts to play, then it's stops with Gerneral Error 1.

Does anyone know if it's the RealPlayer, or the new kernel 2.2.3
and the sound system?

Some of you probably have an AMD K6-2 processor. I'd like to know what
you think of this type of processor, e.g. how it performs in the real
world and how it compares to Intel processors. Would you recommend an
AMD and why?

do you think it's worth the price? One can find second hand pentium
motherboard (i have got 3 (!) recently to update my family's computers)
for as few as the price of two 4Mb chips!

be aware that ram chip has the same price whenever capacity they have
(4Mb, 16Mb, 32 Mb are nearly the same price). The only one cheep is the
most available, for now sdram.

when installing near a win95 partition, nt install a dual boot process
like this:
It saves the dos mbr on a file and manage to load it as far as one wants
to boot dos.
One can fool nt copying an other mbr (ie linux one). There is a
linux/dos utility for that. However, this mean there is a dos partition
available.

anyway, get a look at your suse cd1, there is a dosutils directory with
plenty of nice things...

Everytime I try to initialize my Tulip based NIC card (from NDC Sohoware),
it stops working.  The light on the hub goes out and I cannot communicate
with the card at all.  Is anyone else having this problem?  I can get the
card working under Red Hat 5.2, but I have had no luck with SuSE 6.

Thanks,

If I am not mistaken (wouldn't be the first time), Realplayer 5.0 is not
compatible with the 2.2.x kernel.  I dl awhile back and I think I traced
the error message back to the RV site.  There is supposed to be a patch,
I think, but I could never get it to work.

1 thing about AMD processors is that they can often be found with
cheaper-end mother boards. Running under the limit-testing-pressures of
Linux not-so-solid boards can get a bit flakey at high processing/bus
speeds, and you may need to underclock your chip/bus speed a bit to
avoid memory errors. check out http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11>
i would recommend a solid  motherboard before deciding on intel or AMD
:-D

It sure doesn't work on my system.  I had it working fine under 5.3 but when I
upgrade to 6.0 I couldn't get it to work again.

I have a amd k6-2 266 Mhz. It runs and installed fine
under linux.
I recommend it because it is as good as an intel,
far cheaper, and runs cooler.

I am trying to install Yard-SQL from the SuSE Linux 6.0
CD-ROMs.  Part of the installaion instructions, concerning
the cfg file, state that:

'The device /dev/ryard3 is just an example for using a
raw device.

Some operating systems (eg Linux) do not have raw devices.
Use block devices in these cases.'

The cfg lines to which this refers are:

# dbspace    device       size    offset
F ROOTDBS    /dev/ryard3  200000  0

Can somebody please explain what 'raw devices' and 'block devices'
are, and what I should put in the cfg file?

I'm sitting at work here and our SA just gave me a parallel port based
Zip drive. I have no experience with these things and so I have a few
questions regarding their use with Linux.

1) Does it work with Linux?

2) So I have to do anything special to get my kernel to support a
parallel port based drive on Linux?=20

Thanks,

Tony

Thanks, this patch works.
He did setup a batch file to preload the open.so library;
and he then called the rvplayer with an "rplayer" script.
This alters the directions for setting up Helper Applications
in Netscape, calling rplayer instead of rvplayer.

I found that you don't need the "rplayer script" if you
alter the .bashrc file to change the "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
environment variable.
The new statement should be:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=3D$HOME/rvplayer5.0=20
LD_PRELOAD=3D$HOME/rvplayer5.0/open.so

Then do a "source .bashrc"
This way calling rvplayer works.

Have you installed the package xmix, then use it to switch
the recording source to line in or cd?
Maybe even try to reduce the mic input level to zero?

  Is there anyway to start the SuSE 5.3 installation program (linuxrc), on
SuSE installation CD-ROM disk #1, from DOS via loadlin??

  The bios I have is NOT configurable, therefore I cannot set the CD-ROM
as a bootable device. The NIC I have has no driver yet for Linux, therefore
I cannot install from the network. I cannot simultaneously have both 3.5
floppy and CD-ROM drives present at boot time (I am on a laptop that only
allows one to be plugged in at a time), therefore I cannot boot
from the SuSE installation floppy and point linuxrc at the CD-ROM
drive since it was not present at boot time.

Mylex DAC-960 is supported in SuSE 6.1. 6.0 does not yet support it. It's
not just the kernel, but several programs need to know about the new
devices (fdisk, YaST, lilo).

Of course. Just launch setup.exe on CD#1 and choose "boot via loadlin".

When I did my upgrade I did pretty much the same thing to the options
file...but for me it was basically to replicate my "old-style" dial-up script
as well as make KPPP functional based on what I knew from previous experiences
with 5.3 and before.

However, what is the purpose of this "bloated" options file, if it effectively
has to be "blanked"?

Also, does it happen to get used as a "generic" options script when setting up
suseppp?  (That's something I have yet to experiment yet.  While I have my
setup working fine, I am recommending Linux to more and more of my friends who
may need a little bit of support in these "easier" ways of doing an Internet
connection.)

Zentara,

About Three months ago this guy sent me a similar email claiming he had
read over 800 of my posts while searching the DejaNews and threw me some
flattery claiming he recognized in me the skills necessary to write a
book on Linux, not SuSE.  Then came the same pitch he gave you.  I gave
him the same response as you.  I can't believe a reputable book
publisher would "shake a bush" this way.  A con artist trying to flush
pidgeons might. =20

I would check out that this guy works for the company before one goes
off discounting that he does. It could leave a bad taste in his mouth,
and if he does work for the company. He just might loose respect for us
and just get some hack like the guys who work for other mags and book
companies.

Although the account I use is a member of the dialouts group I can't use
ppp-up from it.  The reason is that the /etc/suseppp/options.generic
file is created with only -rw------- permissions.  Of course I can
change this but each time suseconfig runs it sets the permissions back.
No doubt it causes a security loophole to make this file's permissions
-rw-r--r-- too.

What is the correct way of allowing any user to use ppp-up?

I'm not sure so-- but I think shlibs5 will let you run libc5 binaries. You
can install it from YaST. If I am mistaken in this regard I am sure
someone will correct me.=20

Leigh,

The Turtle Beach Montego II card doesn't appear to be supported under
the 2.2.x kernel series.

I had a look through the 2.2.2 kernel yesterday, and that card certainly
isn't mentioned explicitly, although about five or six other TB cards
are mentioned (they aren't OSS drivers).  You might want to try
configuring the card you have as one of them, but there's obviously no
guarantee that it'll work....

Folks,

I've currently got a number of OSes (admittedly, most of which are M$)
booting from the NT boot menu, including SuSE 6.

The thing is, you need at least a small FAT16 partition as the active
primary partition on the first hard disk.  On the assumption that is the
case, install your OSes wherever you want them.

I have

/dev/hda1   Bootable 30Mb partition
/dev/hda5   NTFS - NT Workstation 4
/dev/hda6   NTFS - NT Server 4
/dev/hda7   NTFS - NT Server 4 data
/dev/hdb1   Ext2 - Linux
/dev/hdb2   Swap - Linux
/dev/hdc1   FAT32 - Win98

Once I've made some change to the kernel (say, a recompile), I mount
/dev/hda1 as (say) /mnt/dos.  Then, run lilo on the boot sector of the
Linux partition, i.e. /dev/hdb1, and leave it non-active (easiest to do
this in YaST).  Once Lilo has run (I usually do it a couple of times,
just in case), and provided you have mounted /dev/hda1,  type

dd if=3D/dev/hdb1 of=3D/mnt/dos/bootsect.lnx bs=3D512 count=3D1

This copies the boot sector of /dev/hdb1 into a file called bootsect.lnx
onto /dev/hda1.  That done, remove the read-only attribute on
/dev/hda1/boot.ini, and add an entry as follows under the [operating
systems] section

c:\bootsect.lnx=3D"SuSE Linux 6.0"

Save it and when you restart, you'll see that option appear in the NT
boot menu.  Choose it, and, if all has gone OK, you'll be left at the
LILO prompt.  Choose your kernel and off you go!

HTH

Alan.

You have to compile SCSI support (either into the kernel or as a module) to
enable your ZIP drive. I am sure this has been explained in this list earlier=
=20
and better), so you may want to check the list archive.

You will have to compile something like SCSI support _and_ SCSI driver support
_and_ support for parallel ZIP drive (there were three things, forgive me if I
do not have the names exactly right, it's been a while since I compiled for
my ZIP drive). Your ZIP drive can then be mounted on /dev/sda4 (or sdb or
whatever).

In older kernels (2.0.nn) you cannot have both a parallel printer and a ZIP
drive compiled into the kernel at the same time. You must use modules in that
case: load either the printer module or the ZIP/SCSI modules. Don't know how
this is in 2.2 kernels.

Hi guys,

yes, I got it to compile & run on SuSE 6.0, with Kernel 2.2.3. Tiz ok!

Now, I wanna try my luck with the new Mozilla M3 release-anyone tried that &
how did it go?

    May I add that it's fairly simple to overclock, and gives no problem in
this state? I have a K6-2 350 taken to 380 (but I managed to reach 400) and
it works just fine, with win as well as linux. A very good processor, I add,
even if I haven't understand if it goes faster or slower than a PII... some
say faster, some slower, I don't know. I use it and that's OK! ;)
    I was planning to upgrade to celeron 400... but, thinking twice, I
decided not... Who need it? And who needs a PIII, either? For everyday
applications I guess also a 266 CPU works fine, these days the only things
that really need a better CPU are 3D games, and they works much better
buying a 3dfx card... so I decided to spare my bucks for something else
(SuSE 6.1, maybe? ;).

I'm running SuSE 6.0 with fvwm V2.0.46 (which is what it ships with). I've
downloaded fvwm2 V2.2. However, I (obviously) want to replace 2.0.46 with
2.2, but I don't know what options the SuSE RPM was built with. I can
provide various arguments to ./configure to place the various files in the
correct locations - but can anyone tell me what those locations are?

Thanks,
Keith

Good luck. Mozilla-- it's been a while-- is not something I associate with
stability, and it's been a while since I built one, so that might have
changed.  Share your evaluation if you do decide to take the time to slap
it together. I always viewed it as mostly useful to developers -- ( or
curious people with too much free time). I don't belong to either group at
this stage.=20

Hi!

I just installed SUSE 6.0 a few weeks ago. (A total newbie to Linux.) But I
can't seem to setup my cable modem with SUSE.

I have it setup on my main computer on an existing LAN. It has a dual boot
with Win 98. And has 3 computers hooked up to it that also have Win 98. (No
Linux on those yet.)

Since this computer is the one with the connection to the cable modem it has
two 3Com 509b ISA  Nics in it. One for the Cable and one for the proxy
thingy so it can share the access with the other Win 98 computers.

No mater what I have tried I could not get it to work. All I would like to
do is to have SUSE have access to the net. I don't need the 3 other Win 98
computers to run or have access to the net while I am using Linux.

I was told to by my Cable provider that I have to configure it via DHCP.

Any help would be appreciated. TIA.

This is strange, because I have never had mouse probs, and I do run 2.2.3 and
gpm with no ill effects. Below are some file sections dealing with your prob.=
=20
See if yours looks similar:

from XF86Config:

Section "Pointer"
   Protocol        "PS/2"
   Device          "/dev/mouse"       # smlinked to /dev/psaux
   Emulate3Timeout 50
   Resolution      100
   Buttons         3
   Emulate3Buttons
EndSection
-------------
-------------
from rc.config:

#
# Which device is the mouse ? (e.g. "/dev/ttyS0")
#
MOUSE=3D"/dev/psaux"
-------------
-------------
during kernel (2.2.3) compile I just select the device:
 Character devices  --->
        [*] Mouse Support (not serial mice)
                Mice  --->
                        [*] PS2 mouse (aka "auxiliary device") support
-------------
-------------
dmesg reveals:
Detected PS/2 Mouse Port.
-------------
-------------

I can't think of any other files associated, offhand. If you can think of any=
,=20
let me know and I will send those particulars. I do, however, use "xf86config"
instead of "SaX", as I am not really fond of NOT having manual control. I use
"Yast" to configure gpm, and so far, it has worked flawlessly.

HTH,

This is kind of off-topic, but 3dfx is currently far from the "king" of 3D
acceleration.=20
The Riva TNT card is much better than the Voodoo 2, while the upcoming TNT
2 completely out-performs the upcoming Voodoo 3.
XFree86 already has support for the TNT (since 3.3.3), too. If you want to
know how and why... any 3D site will tell you.

I just had to say this because it saddens me that so many people equal 3D
with 3dfx. It's the same as thinking that "computers =3D MS Windows". :(((

Well they are probably looking for volunteers to write the book
for them. :-)
Anyways, I'll know it's a real scam when they ask me to
help pay for the publishing costs. Heh,heh.

She asked to forward the letter to qualified people,
and you guys are it. Maybe each of us could write a chapter
on the things we know best.
Hey, a book devoted to SuSe would help spread the word
about how good it is.

the easiest way to get this working is to use scsi emulation I think.  I found
out about it and its advantages at linuxgazette, may 1988 issue, in the
"2-cents" area. This worked flawlessly for me though it did mean a kernel
recompile.

Hai guy....
I just wanna to share my greatest nightmare I have last=20
night.. Last night I was trying to update my kernel 2.0.36=20
to version 2.2.0 (i don' t upgrade  to kernel 2.2.3 since i=20
think i want to patch it through up 2.2.3) But here, the=20
story... after decompress, compiling the new kernel i=20
reinstall the lilo which was on my boot sector. By the way,=20
my computer is multiple os, which has 4 partition, 2 FAT32,=20
1 swap, and 1 linux partition. After rebooting, and=20
choosing the linux os... my computer hang for ages...so, i=20
restarted it. When it restarted, it say that=20
no partition exits. That strange isn't? So, i try to=20
reinstall it's master boot sector using fdisk /mbr. I check=20
the partition and it show only C partition exists and take=20
the whole of my hardisk . I reboot my computer and to my=20
suprise, my windows 98 boot successfully without my error.=20
But, I am damm scare because I have lost my D drive. All my=20
final year project files are on that drive. My whole work=20
for the last 6 six month is in that drive and i never=20
backup on floppy. (by the way, my final year project=20
consist of simulation using C++). At that time, the only=20
word that I can said to myself is "How much more stupid can=20
u be?". I try using norton unerase to recover my files=20
especially, my *.cpp files. I think God still love me=20
because i manage to recover all my text based file like=20
*.cpp, *.h, *.doc, *.txt but I can not recover my *.xls,=20
*.ppt and other files. If anyone can tell me how can I=20
recover these files. I will be glad if you can help me.

Two lessons I got today....
1. never do something that u don't really know...=20
eventhough others say it simple... remember they r expert(=20
these statement refer to all of u)
2. Always back up my work.... don't be too confident

Anyway, I really don't know what did I do wrong while=20
updating my kernel... if you know... plz tell me...
Bye.. thanx

THANKS TO ALL FOR THE INFO!!!!

The next time I turn off my system :), I'll check which chip I have. I'm
betting that it's the 30 pin.=20

Also, it looks like I'll be going for the Creative SB 16 ISA sound card.=20

Just to let you'all know, I can't afford a new computer so I'm doing a
major upgrade of this one. I'm adding the max amount RAM, a new HD (around
6Gb), new video card, sound card, and either a zip 100MB or LS-120 ex disk
drive. Then I'll have to wait 2 - 3 years before I can talk my wife into a
new computer :).

Thanks again!

Hello,

Anybody using an ISA slot Future Domain TMC-1680 SCSI card? I'm trying
to use it in my SuSE 6.0 with kernel version 2.2.3. I have the driver
modularized.

At boot up the card's BIOS detects the HD connected to the card. When I
load the module fdomain, it scans all possible IDs but fails to detect
the HD. Here is the ouput of one of the attempts from the syslog. Any
suggestion would be appreciated.

The file /usr/lib/terminfo/x/xterm doesn't understand the Sun xterm
correct. I've had the same problem on RH 5.1 as well, but the current
snapshot of Debian 2.2 has a correct terminfo file!
So I copied it over to my SuSE6.0 box, and it works great! :-)

I can send it to you if you want to. Just send me an email.

There may be another solution to this. The directory /usr/lib/terminfo/x/
contains over thirty files, one of which is called "xterm-sun".
Maybe if you rename this to "xterm" (remember to save a copy of the old
xterm first! ;-) ), it will do the trick? I haven't tried this.
I just found a solution that worked for me...

Uah! I uncovered a wasp nest, as we say in Italy!
    I don't identify 3D with 3dfx, as well as I don't identify linux with
SuSE or PC with IBM or wemen with Pamela Andersson; I said only that the
only thing that need outstanding computing power nowadays is 3D gaming, and
one interested in it shouldn't change its CPU, but buying a 3D card, FOR
INSTANCE a Voodoo 2.
    About TNT, well... it's great, I know, so what? 3dfx is good, too, you
can't deny it, and G200 is, and S3 savage is... I dont' want to take a
position, I just have a voodoo 2 and it works fine. Stop.
    I have a Matrox Millennium G200 and a Voodoo 2, and I don't pretend to
have the heaven's keys, I was only speaking about games, and, you know, many
games still support ONLY Glide, which is a proprietary library of 3dfx...
    I hope to have clarified my position... No need to start polemics, Pedro
:), everyone is happy with what he has, and I don't exclude that in future I
could buy a TNT2...
    Re-entering in topic, however, I don't see actually any advantage in
having a 3D accelerated card in Linux... what could be its use? Someone
improves his work having one? I'm curious... Is it possible to accelerate,
let's say, Blender or POVRay with one?
    Mano :)

the easiest way to get this working is to use scsi emulation I think.  I
found
out about it and its advantages at linuxgazette, may 1988 issue, in the
"2-cents" area. This worked flawlessly for me though it did mean a kernel
recompile.

Hi,
    I often hear that the greatest number of virus (or viri?) works only in
DOS/Win, but I see that in SuSE is included an antivirus. Are there virus in
Linux? How diffused and dangerous are them?

In my experience, Intel processors seem to do better with floating-point
calculations, which translates into a somewhat better gaming experience
(more fps).  Otherwise, I don't think there is any advantage.=20

Hi,
Well the lady from Que publishing got back
to me about the book.
I'm going to an organic farm to work for the summer,
and I may not be able to devote as much time as this may require.
I do want to help, even if I write a couple of pages.

I have kept the emails of everyone who said they would
like to help, to forward to her. She requires you
sign a non-disclosure agreement, a resume, a sample
of your writing, and salary requirements.
Anyone who wants to try, let me know.

This is the first few lines of her latest email to me:
###################################################

     Hi Joe,

     Using SuSE Linux, this book will likely be 1,000+ pages.  I would

     for it to be written in a three-month period, which, if writing

#######################################################

I think the experts at Suse should be involved in this.
Hubert, Bodo, Stephan ??? what do you guys think?
I really only know how to run Suse as a workstation,
a book like this needs server experts.

Make the right move, and upgrade your motherboard and cpu while
you are at it. For $150 you can get a pc-100 motherboard with
an AMD k6 300 processor.

Does anyone here have any experience with making this sound chip work under
SuSE Linux 6.0?; it's attached to the motherboard (Intel 440LX), so is not a
true isa sound card at all, so I don't know if working the soundconf module
does anything. The only information I have about it, I gained from reading
hardware device info, under Win98, as follows:

Device: YAMAHA OPL3-SAx WDM Driver
Resources:
        IRQ: 05
        I/O: 0220h - 022Fh
        I/O: 0530h - 0537h
        I/O: 0388h - 038Fh
        I/O: 0330h - 0331h
        I/O: 0370h - 0371h
        DMA: 00
        DMA: 01

I tried as many combinations with the kernel as I could, using MSS/WSS,
Yamaha OPL3-SA1, 2, Soundblaster, whatever. No luck (I don't quite
understand what all the I/O references mean, what they refer to). I also
tried using the latest OSS package downloaded from their site, but I get an
'incompatible kernel' error when I run it (I'm running 2.2.3). Any tips out
there?

Intel has always had a better floating-point unit (FPU) built into their
processors which translates into better performance for FPU-intensive
applications (games and graphics).  AMD has traditionally had the weaker FPU
in comparison and usually lags behind Intel.  This doesn't mean that AMD
makes bad processors, they are very reliable work horses and significantly
price less than Intel processors. If your major applications are very
FPU-intensive, getting an Intel processor will make sense for now.  Things
will get more interesting when AMD K7 comes out since reported benchmarks
suggest that the K7 FPU will finally kick Intel FPU where it hurts the most
and Intel will have to do some catching up.

You should check out the following site:

Also, if it's a PCI modem it's most probably a winmodem.

Ah, that may be the case sometimes but not this time. You see, the article th=

I am running a three year old P166 Sony VAIO.  I made the same decision
that you did and jacked the RAM to 64MB and added a Western Digital 6.4
GB HD.  It gave me three new 2GB partitions and is much faster than my
older HDs.  I also upgraded to an EXTERNAL 56Kb Zoom V90 Modem.  The
extra RAM and Additional HD made a new machine out of my old one.  I
expect the 2.2.x kernel to give me 2 to 5 times more speed than I have
now with the 2.0.36 kernel.  That should hold me for another 2-3 years.=20
By that time the commodity computer will be a 1GHz box with 256MB RAM
and 32GB HD.  By then I should have a cable modem.

Robert "I taught at Stanford" Cringely is just passing along some FUD
from M$.  A lot of that junk is being dispensed by many "news" outlets
whose major source of revenue is Windows products.  These stories act
like headlights to deer, keeping them frozen in their tracks till they
get run over.  In the consumer's case it will be M$ that run's them
down, then they will learn, if they down't already know, what the
meaning of "crash" is and how much it costs them.

it using Yast i am still unable to join the network.i activated the card
gave it an IP address. Any recommendations as to what i can do to solve it?
Sorry newbie question.
If you need more information please ask i've been trying to solve this

please, if you didn't made too many mistakes, read the linux
partition-rescue mini howto.
your linux partition is NOT lost as long as you don't write on it's
sectors.

If you had writen down the sector card (fdisk -l - lpr) you could have
your disk right new at hand, but even if you did not, with a little
experience, you can save all.

in summary, start the suse rescue system, load fdisk and try to re
partition the same as you did at the first time, an mount you linux
partition. If you fail , try an other starting sector number. It can be
long, but writing the partition table, you don't erase any data.

Beware, this is true of linux, not dos/windows! windows fat is destroyed
by dos/win fdisk, linux's is not!

linux win!

This could be to the mag your reading is intell bias. I have a few amd
k6-2's at work an one at home that seem to preform abt the same as a pen
II. Have built a few pen II 300 an they run abt the same as my k6-2 300.
just my 2 cents worth. hehe

I am so amazed at how much these people DON'T know. Why do they pick an
app such as staroffice and discount everything else. This guy has to
have heard that Corel has Wordperfect 8 for Linux all shrinkrapped and
in stores..and the whole office suite on the way. I mean I use
StarOffice don't get me wrong, but there are a lot of apps out there.
This guy should come to St. Louis..I will find him and his cohorts
better grades of crack rocks...sheesh. Can anyone say scramble to get a
story out?

Microsoft has probably concluded that it can't afford to NOT be in the
Linux market, especially now that its big database competitors have
embraced the platform. And the best part is they can use this surprise

to appear."

Eric,

You're in luck. I have the same running. I messed around with it for awhile
until I read a little page setup by the guy who wrote the yamaha driver.
Following those directions, I came up with this. It does work.

With kernel 2.2.3:

<*> OSS sound modules
         100% Sound Blaster compatibles (SB16/32/64, ESS, Jazz16) support
         Generic OPL2/OPL3 FM synthesizer support
         Microsoft Sound System support
         Support for Yamaha OPL3-SA2, SA3, and SAx based PnP cards
         SoftOSS software wave table engine
         FM synthesizer (YM3812/OPL-3) support
         Loopback MIDI device suppor
then:

insmod mpu401
insmod ad1848 irq=3D11
insmod opl3sa2 io=3D0x370 mss_io=3D0x530 irq=3D5 dma=3D0 dma2=3D3
insmod opl3 io=3D0x388

You can also put these it /sbin/init.d/boot.local/  and have them load
on boot.

**HINT**: turn the BIOS "PNP OS" option "OFF". This makes all the difference
in the world.

Ok, is it a pnp card or is it pci?

You probably need to put an entry for it in /etc/conf.modules.
You may need to recompile your kernel to add support for it.
What kernel are you using?

Could you please sent me you /usr/src/linux/.config file please?

Can you playback wave and mpg3 files?

Thank you very much in advance.

Hi Yatsen,

What you're telling is certainly true. But.. What about the price. I mean for=
 the price
of one PIII you will get nearly or get even really 2 K6-III. I mean you also =

Dear James,

I would also go for a new motherboard and processor. I don't know if you have
looked into the prices but 30 pins rams are very expensive per Mbytes in
comparison to a 72 pin or even a DIMM. Right now i would buy a new board
including PC100 DIMMS. That will give you in RAm and processor a up to date
system for some time. I wouldn't say for how long as the technology is moving
very fast.

Advice, if you buy a new board it's best to buy a good brand. That is because=
 of
support and bios upgrades.

Regards,

Joop Boonen.

The anti-virus software included with suse is meant
to scan for dos/windows viruses.
I remember there was one or two viruses developed
to attack linux. They were developed as an educational
exercise, were GPL'd, and are not a threat. You could
do a web search to find them.

Trojans are a real threat to linux. These would be things
like keystroke recorders, password scanners, etc., that you
might get as part of a binary package. The best thing to do
is never run anything as root, and install a package called
Tripwire. Tripwire keeps track of whether any system binary
has been changed. If it has changed, you have to wonder
who did it and how?

Another good thing is to get used to compiling your
own binaries. Of course, source code could have
trojan code included, but it is more likely that
someone will spot it, and send out warnings.

The last warning I've seen, was that one version
of SSH, "secure-shell" had a backdoor in it.

Many of the paranoid amoung us believe that
knowledgable people can get into your
system while you are on the internet. Who
knows? I do make it a practice to disconnect
when my system seems to "lockup" online.
I have seen some strange changes in my system
after being online for prolonged periods.
Maybe someone knows how to hack thru pppd?

There are more than viruses to worry about.

Just a question...

We have a HP Laserjet printer that I have been able to print to at an
Ip address but now I cannot seem to get there.  I do not have a local
printer whatsoever and use the HP for 1000f my printing needs.  I
have gone into the remote printer setup in yast and told it where the
printer is by IP and name.  Yast dutifully creates a printcap for it
but still I cannot print. The HP is a Postscript printer so what else
do I need to do to get this thing working again?  I can ping the
printer out there.  This is a linux network, BTW.  Do I have to setup a
local printer also at lp?  How does the print job work when queueing to
a remote printer and how do I define that it is a postscript entity?
I can only see one place and that is in configuring a printer that is
local in yast. The remote printer object only asks for the name, IP,
spool and port.

Thanks.

If you know the address and irq assigned to it, you
should be able to do one of the following:

modprobe eepro io=3Daddress irq=3Dyourirq  mem=3Daddress

or you can put the info in conf.modules and just do
a "modprobe eepro"

eepro.o is the module used for the Intel EtherExpressPro.

If you have a dualboot with windows, you can check
what settings windows is using for the card and
use them for your settings.

Hello!

I'm very satisfied with SuSE 6.0 and many things work just out of the box, I'=
m having problems to setup
my email properly.

First, I have problems running fetchmailconf to configure fetchmail. When I r=
un it, it probs my ISP reporting=20
that POP3 protocol is OK, but then when I want to edit user - there are some =
errors on the console window.

Then I wanted to edit manually .fetchmailrc and always I got the message that=
 password for my username is=20
wrong although wvdial uses the same one to connect to ISP.

Then I went to check sendmail and I've discovered that altthough mail is deli=
vered normally without the=20
problem, there is 501 error in sendmail: Sender domain ..

I'm too stupid to solve the problem alone and I'd like to avoid configuring s=
endmail via m4 macros if possible.

Is there any kind soul to help me setup my email.

My email is sjaniska(a)inet.hr, mail server of my ISP is mail.iskon.hr and po=
p.iskon.hr. (.fetchmailrc needs=20
aka to somehow resolve inet.hr & iskon.hr)

There are 2 DNS adresses of my ISP server: address1 & address2.

I want to have the name of my machine: hostname.domain.hr

I want to use Applix mail as a client delivering (SMTP) & fetching (POP3) mai=
l with sendmail with PPP=20
dial-up connection and local mail to be delivered locally.

I believe it's very simple and it can be done through Yast and some simple co=
nfigure, but I am caught in a=20
mistic circle not being able to come out.
Please, if someone can give me guidelines how to achieve desired scenario: wh=
at settings and where.

It would be nice to dial with a script (now I'm dial with wvdial) and then au=
tomatically deliver mail, fetch new=20
mail and quit upon request if I'm also on surfing the web .
Please, help.

        I would highly reccomend looking at AnandTech's review (not the
orgasmic *pre*view ;)) of the K6-III, which can be found here:
<=
A HREF=3D"http://www.anandtech.com/html/review_display.cfm?document=3D363http://www.anandtech.com/html/review_display.cfm?document=3D363>
In it he explains the significance of the K6-III's cache dance and gives a
few pages of comparative benchmarks.  The same site will give you a good
starting place for comparison shopping for a new mobo. =20
        Tom's Hardware also has a review (of sorts) of the processor, but
I often find myself questioning Tom's intelligence and understanding of
computer hardware, so I don't reccomend it (although he didn't do a bad
job with the article I'm referring to).  Besides, Tom's writing style
is seriously irritating. >:)

The card itself is a ISA 10BaseT ethernet card. I am using the Intel Express
Pro Driver for SuSE6.0 and the kernel is version 2.0.36  How would i go
about recompiiling the Kernel please step by step... i have very little
knowledge about kernels so if you could reply privately that would be
great!. To all of you i appreciate the help too!..

Jack!

I have the 430 TX as well and registered OSS that is failing.  Do you have
any hints on what I'm doing wrong.

I'm still using SuSE 5.3.

Really?  The improvements in 2.2.x are that great?  How so, and=20

In addition to what zentara said, crackers download "root kits" from
cracker sites.  These kits allow crackers to take advantage of systems
that have poor security measures in place.  The first thing that is
replaced is the program called "ls".  The cracker version is slightly
larger and has a filter that doesn't allow the cracker's other programs
to display on directory lists.  Other key programs are replaced by
clones that help mask the cracker's intrusion.  People that run as root
all the time, or have lots of programs marked suid (rather than setting
appropriate paths and using shadow passwords) are most susceptible.
However, I've been running Linux for about a year now and I spend
anywhere from 60-120 hours per month on the Internet, and I have not
seen any evidence of intrusion on my system. It is nothing to brag about
to crack into some newbie's system, and bragging points is what cracking
is all about - one giant ego trip for the walter mittie's of the world.

Robert "I taught at Stanford" Cringely displays his resume on his
website.  It used to include the claim that he "taught at Stanford
University".  Someone checked at Stanford and discovered that he was a
lab assistant there for a short period of time.
Cringely seems to make a living by promoting desention, as he bragged on
his PBS special, "Nerds 101", or by playing favorites.  He is not a
programmer, and he has no training in science or math. FUDing for M$
doesn't seem to be beneath him. One might ask if anything was beneath
him if money is involved.  It is quite obvious that he appears to be
"knowledgable" only to those who are not.

Yes, I do, based on information I read at www.kernel.org, and from
reports on the maillist by those who have upgraded to 2.2.x.  I
understand, of course, that milage may vary.

No problem.  However, my /src/linux/.config is untouched straight off my
SuSE 6.0 upgrade, so yours is probably the same as mine.
I have waveplayer and mpeg_player installed and running ok.  I have
downloaded mpg3_player but have not installed it yet.

Affirmative. I hope to upgrade to a 19-inch monitor, and as I do not own
a TV thought it might be a nice option, particularly since I plan to do
some video/3D graphics editing.

The developers may find it unwaranted, but I can always hope!

Thanks and regards,

Bob

I cant help but put my 2cts in here.
I would very seriously price out *everything* before you make a decision. The
ram if new will probably cost 120 used 50 and the most youll get is 32ram 4x8
Your system bios may not be able to handle a large drive... then your talking
about a firmware bios upgrade for 50 and even at that rate the performance
wont be that great.Alot of the performance will be from the bus on the system
board
Ive toyed around with upgrades untill I realised its just not at all
practical. My old *good* ;-) system is a ps1 investor that has 8 ram bays that
I filled with 4 m simms for 50 a bios upgrade 50-  a cpu from I think 33 to 66
ws about 40 or so, a new video card that never seemed to work rite.A 5g hd
that never accessed properly. (it now has a 500m with dos win3.1 and suse)

In other words yes.. it runs well for a machine its age but by all standards
(todays) it isnt worth much other than for experimenting with. Im not knocking
your budgeting but really just trying to give you & hopefully your wife 
something to think about. Ask yourself... what would the resale value of this
be? Of course you wouldnt get your money back.. but what percentage would you
get back?
I see your from Germany... Im from the US so Im not sure what the prices are
but something to think about before you invest any money.
my 2cts

Hello.
I'm currently running SuSe Linux 6.0, which I ham very happy with. But, I
just noticed that it looks like the default setup of Sendmail allows for
spam-relaying.
What do I have to change to make sure it doesnt allow relaying?

I hope someone can help me here.. ;)

I think SuSE 6.0 comes with sendmail v8.8.8.  If you are connected to
the net you should consider getting v 8.9.3 which has alot of updated
security features as well as anti-spam features. There is extensive
documentation at www.sendmail.org.

There is something I have been working on for the past week.  It's
pretty interesting.  I would like to see it become more popular.  Mostly
because I want to be able to use it.  It is a perl module for writing
LDAP interfaces.  Take a look at the url if it sounds interesting.  Go
ahead an poke around on Mozilla's site.  It's pretty cool.  I know there
are some issues with the MPL.  Hey, look what happened with the Trolls.

   I've currently got a number of OSes (admittedly, most of which are M$)
   booting from the NT boot menu, including SuSE 6.

   The thing is, you need at least a small FAT16 partition as the active
   primary partition on the first hard disk.  On the assumption that is the
   case, install your OSes wherever you want them.

   I have

   /dev/hda1   Bootable 30Mb partition
   /dev/hda5   NTFS - NT Workstation 4
   /dev/hda6   NTFS - NT Server 4
   /dev/hda7   NTFS - NT Server 4 data
   /dev/hdb1   Ext2 - Linux
   /dev/hdb2   Swap - Linux
   /dev/hdc1   FAT32 - Win98

This looks very  nice, very maintainable.
Under which OS did you partition the drives?  Once I've made any
DOS partitions with Linux (and it's a long story why I had to) first, NT
Workstation (I don't have Server) refuses to install to them, or even
repartition them.  This is probably a NT problem, but I'd like to know
if it's possible to install NT over partitions created in SuSE6.0.

Best,
jim bennett

What do you mean by "failing"? Did it work and now it is not? Or, did it not =
work at
all? When ever you reboot you must issue the command soundon as root or maybe=
 su will
work. I had trouble with this a week or two ago using RH 5.2 and kernel 2.2.2=
. The
soundon/off commands did not work in spite of suggestions from folks here.  I=
've
since switched to suse 6.0 and 2.2.3. Seems to be working ok. Oh yeah, when I
switched to 2.2.3  install failed untill I dl'd the latest verson for 2.2.3 (=

I have noticed that performance "seems" to have a quicker response time
with the new kernel. For instance when I do an operation in Midnight
Commander, the scrolling speed thru files is noticably faster, things
apperar to "pop to the screen" quicker. The same is true with starting
X, windows seem to "pop open" quicker, and X itself starts up faster.

I know this is totally subjective, but it is noticable.

I thought Xfree support was non-accelerated for the TNT?

It is (like any other card) accelerated for 2D. Very fast, too.

As for 3D, well, there really isn't 3D yet for Linux, except for Quake in
3dfx, using an old port of Glide and Mesa.
(I think both Xinside and MetroLink were doing something about that, but
I'm not sure)

I boot Windoze to play games, and there I have the best 3D card for
Direct3D and OpenGL (this latter with a full ICD, which works great with
"serious" stuff too). On Linux (which I use for everything except games) I
have a very fast XFree86 driver.

Both nVidia and 3dfx have promised "full" 3D for Linux / XFree86 in the
future, but until then, I have to use Windoze for games.

Well, it does't work!  I've checked the configuration and the setup program
says its right.  There appear to be no IRQ conflicts and I have no extras on
this machine.

Anyhow, I've drained the resources at hand and still have no sound.  Thank
you for your trouble.

Just a small nit regarding the differences with the taskbar and panel
between KDE 1.0 and 1.1. In 1.0 it was possible to stretch windows and
allow them to cover the panel and taskbar. It looks like they made a
change to KDE so now the panel and task bar are always on top. This
makes it a pain if a window slips "underneath" the task bar as it's
title bar and window controls are not accessible. I have to use the
"unclutter windows" options available off of the desktop. Does anyone
know if this behavior can be changed? In looking at the  KPanel
configuration panel I don't see any appropriate options to turn off this
"always-on-top" behavior. I see that auto hide is available but I don't
care for that behavior on my desktop.=18

It's been quite some time but I think that even Windows allows one to
configure whether the task bar is always on top or not.

Tony

Really ?
I had the same problem and I fixed it by changing the type of keyboard
from 104 keys to 102 keys international. And I think 101 key keyboard
works fine as well.

Quoting from that article (about Dell preloading Linux):
"In order to get Linux preinstalled on their machines, users=20
must foot a $20 fee (which is $20 more than a system with=20

Is this for real?  They expect someone to pay, in effect, close=20

I didn't change a thing in my keyboard rate.
It even boots faster, the boot messages fly by. :-)

I want to start to use Linux to backup my Win98 and OS/2 systems (which
are on a different hard drive on the same computer using OS/2
bootmanager).  I want to do this for two reasons:  (a) no locked files
since the Win98/OS2 systems will be inactive when Linux is running, and
(b) my backup device, a PD650MB rewritable optical drive on ultra scsi
is 10-20x faster under Linux (!!!!).

I plan to use tar with compression (also much faster than anything in
Win98 or OS2 commercially available).

Here is my question:  if I backup every file using tar on my Win98 and
OS/2 partitions and then delete and recreate these partitions (see my
other post as to why I am doing this -- linux's fdisk mangled my
partition table), will I be able to restore successfully using to
following procedure:  (a) tar everything to my PD, (b) shutdown linux
and boot to my a: drive OS/2 boot disks, (c) run os2 fdisk to delete and
recreate the bootmanager partition and the os/2 partitions, (d) boot to
my a: drive Windows boot disks to recreate the windows partition, and
then run fdisk /MBR to restore the boot loader for windows, (e) boot
back to linux a untar everything to windows partition, (f) boot to my
os/2 boot disks, and using the OS/2 tar (gnu) program, untar everything
to the appropriate OS/2 partitions.

Will that work???

I am especially concerned about the extended attributes in OS/2; will
that tar/untar procedure wipe out my EA's???  Is the OS/2 tar program
fully compatible with Linux tar??

Similarly, for Win98, are there any hidden files or other considerations
that would screw up my system using this procedure?

Any help would be greatly appreciated as always.

I have a tri-boot system:  sda1 win98; sda2, sda5, and sda6 OS/2; and
sdb5, sdb6 linux (swap partition for Linux is on sda 7).

Unfortunately, I created this scheme using linux's fdisk.  Now, I want
to resize my sda partitions using partition magic (or fips) but, to my
horror, I find that linux's fdisk has a documented "bug" that causes it
to create non-sequential partition bounderies, e.g.:

    sda1     1-300
    sda4    301-1200
    sda5    500-1200
    sda6    301-499

This "bug" (or feature if you will) causes both Windoze and OS/2 to be
unable to read the partition table!!! And more importantly, makes it
impossible to resize a partition.  The Partition Magic people recommend
blowing out the enture partition table and recreating it using OS/2 or
Win98 fdisk.  There must be a better way.

I am looking for solutions.

I have the following idea but do not know how to implement it:  renumber
the partitions so that they are in sequential order.  In the example
above, sda5 and sda6 would just be swapped.  This would of course change
the drive lettering, but I can deal with that (I think).  The question
is how to edit the partition table to reflect the correct sequential
order of partitions???

There is a better perl interface called Net::LDAP (written by Graham Barr) I
believe. It does not require you to build against any particular ldap libs
which means you can start off with Netscape Directory Server or an old UMICH
LDAP and then move to OpenLDAP if you wish. You can find it on CPAN.

Hmmm.  Have to take a look at that one.  The perldap at Mozilla is
definitely a
WIP.  Does Net::LDAP do all the certificate stuff one might want out of
such a
tool?

I really don't want to say anything that is going to push people away
from
Netscape's open source effort.  My intention is to promote interest in
their
efforts.  I have been working with Netscape for a long time, and I like
(most)
of the company's ethic.  I figure if I can get some other people to take
a look
at what they are doing I'm paying my open source taxes.

Having said that I will take a look at Net::LDAP.  In the real word we
need
candid and honest evaluation of competing solutions.  As far as openLDAP
goes.
I glanced at it.  It seemed to lack a lot of the features that
Netscape's LDAP
has.  I will keep an eye on it, but since I get paid to make Netscape's
products
work, that is my main thrust.

Hi,

Generally you can call a partition without a file system on it a raw
device. Some databases use this feature "to speed up access".
You can treat /dev/hda# or /dev/sda# as a raw device (usually raw devices
are character devices though, e.g. in AIX).
For example, create a partition using fdisk (lets say it is /dev/sda10).
Do NOT create a file system on it.
Then, run:
# tar -cvf /dev/sda10 /etc --> to backup files to this "raw" device
Then you can read it back using:
# tar -tvf /dev/sda10 --> will list files for you.
Note, that you could write and read data from a partition that does not
have a file system on it (you can not mount it).
A hard disk partition is a block device:
# ls -l /dev/sda1 -->
brw-rw----   1 root     disk       8,   1 Jan 19 22:27 /dev/sda1
"b" --> means that the file is a block device.

Bob,

        It appears that they charge only charge $119.00 for Linux preinstalled
which is more then NT, but you pay for NT as well in the price of the
machine. The extra cost only comes when you what to buy their support
plan.
        I am " assuming " that the $20.00 fee is cause they have somebody
sitting there installing it...or something stupid like that..heheheh

laters,

        Yes, your intuition's right. :)  The complete kernel sources in
the huge linux-2.2.3.tar.gz you probably just recently d/led is
equivellent to 2.2.0 plus all the patches up to 2.2.3; you can safely save
yourself the d/l time and get the patch file for 2.2.4 and apply it to the
2.2.3 source.  That's what patches are for. :)
good luck,

Which is the same version as shipped with 5.3. Other packages were

Dear all,

I wanted to share this link with everyone.

This link shows what a nice company Microsoft is and how they like open
competition.

beware, if you gives a wrong irq in conf.modules, linux says ok but

better gibe only the io address (this, don't mistake...) irq if found
automatically

Thanks for everyone who helped me out with this topic; I wound up making
modules as per Danny Kephart's advice, and amazingly, it worked perfectly
(I'm not used to having things work out the first time around). Whoopie!

On the down side, I think it a bit ridiculous that I needed to jump through
all these hoops to make the sound chip work; there's no way I (or most
people) could have done it on my own, without the help of everyone here. Not
only is the process not intuitive, it's not even in any RTFM. There really
ought to be an easier way to do this. The next kernel, perhaps?

I followed the OSS instructions and recompiled the kernel with sound as
modular, but did not activate it.  Then I ran install-oss.  When it was
done I changed to the /opt/oss dir and ran soundconf and made sure my
irq and base addresses were correct.  Then I put the sound-on command in
boot.local.  I also ran the mixer program and set the volume at 200r
some such value, I don't remember exactly what, so that I wouldn't get a
big snap when the sound drivers activated.  The sound is beautiful. When
I run KDE CD Player my Sony speakers give a rich sound.

Na. Nothing like $200.  No doubt Dell customers choosing Linux will be
paying the m$ tax, however.

Also, they arn't going to pay someone to install Linux on each machine.=20
They will do pretty much the same as they do for Win or NT.  Just use a
"Blaster" to blast the installed Linux image onto the disk, and set the
CDROM to fire a configuration program to adjust the installation to the
configuration the user has purchased.  That means they will have scripts
on their setup that will choose which peripherals the user chose out of
those available for a Linux install.
I would go with VA Research.  They know what they are doing.

Try to open a terminal before connecting. Then execute xhost+local:
and connect.

It seems that kppp locks the display when it connects

Hope it helps

Or the configuration files provide some help to enable the anti-spam
features available for v8.8.8.  An extract of my .mc file based on
/etc/mail/linux.mc is set out below.  To use it you have to amend
rc.config to stop it rewriting sendmail.cf file and after creating
your .mc file run the commands:

/usr/bin/m4 /etc/mail/[whatever].mc > /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
and (if it looks OK)
cp /etc/mail/sendmail.cf /etc/sendmail.cf

Relevant extracts are as follows:

Hi,
I went and got the latest StarOffice501,
called the "filter update".

It loads windows docs good.

I tried to use it's online functions,
like email, newsgroups, and email.
The internet stuff did'nt work.

Has anyone gone online with StarOffice?
If so, what options did you have to set?

I did make an "outbox" for email, but it
locked up when trying to send a test message.
I set the mail opotions right.
Do you use "manual or automatic" DNS settings?

It's just for kicks, no real problem.

Hi,
I have the complete 2.2.3 kernel source,
and there is a patch for the latest 2.2.4
kernel.
Can this be applied to the 2.2.3 source?
Or do I need to apply the whole set of
2.2.* patches?

It seems to me that the 2.2.3 source code
package should be equivalent to the
2.2.0 package with the 2.2.1, and 2.2.2, and
2.2.3 patches applied. Is this correct?

It seems like a dumb question, but I just want=20
to make sure.

I think that those who use workstations and servers would have little
trouble installing Linux. But this would save them some time. Especially
since the OS would be (presumably) configured for the hardware. It will be
great when Dell pre loads the OS on their xps line for the average consumer
(me). We can then go right to work instead of dealing with hardware/os
compatibility issues : ) Hopefully Dell will see merit in offering a choice
in distributions. I've used both Redhat and SuSE, and prefer SuSE.

My wife uses Dell computers at work and she is on the phone with them all
the time. Nothing wrong with the machines. The bosses son insists on
deliberately *ucking them up at every opportunity. Their support seems to
be very good. But can you imagine the average first timer "joe-win-dohz"
user logging in as root and careening through system and configuration
files? What a support nightmare that would be! (Have I read that line
somewhere before?)

I think Linux will have to mature into a much more polished (i.e. easy to
use without any thought) "product" before it will be acceptable to
"joe-win-dohz". I think as more hardware manufacturers release the info
necessary to produce drivers (or better, produce drivers themselves and
release the code?) and major software companies see the light, we will
begin to see a much more refined Linux (applications not the os). I think
we all know that configuration and DOCUMENTATION are major stumbling blocks
for joe average. I applaud the work that has been accomplished thus far.
But lets face it, while a few guys sprawled about the world can produce
extraordinary applications those same people apparently can't place
themselves at, say my level, and write documentation that I can easily
follow. Most documentation takes for granted that I know far more than I
really do. I'm not that smart. I have, at last count, 11 Linux books. In
the past year I've printed out god only knows how many how-to's and
readme's, and read many many more. And I still feel stupid. Though I've
improved a great deal, I'm no programmer. Never will be.

Well...ah...what was this all about? Oh yeah, Dell... Sorry for getting on
the soap box.

Thought this might provoke some comments ...

Gates: Linux is no threat to Windows

Microsoft CEO Bill Gates, on tour to promote his new book, "Business @ the
Speed of Thought," said Wednesday that the freeware Linux operating system
is no threat to Windows. Gates says that Windows offers far more
functionality and features than Linux ever will.

"There has certainly been a lot of free software out there for the last 20
years," Gates said, alluding to the biggest "feature" of Linux, its price.
"The main thing that has held that back is that because it's free software
there's no central point of control. So what you see with Linux, and other
things, is you get proliferations of different versions and everybody can go
into the source code, and everybody does."

While Gates was in town to talk up his book, his most compelling comments
came during questions about Linux. Gates specifically did not comment on the
ongoing antitrust trial against his company, though he did mention
settlement possibilities earlier Wednesday on the Today show. As for Linux,
Gates says, it just can't compete.

"We put things into our system like systems management that's not that much
fun for university developers," Gates said. "Linux doesn't have that stuff.
It doesn't have the graphics interface. It doesn't have the rich set of
device drivers. So certainly we think of it as a competitor in the student
and hobbyist market. But I really don't think in the commercial market,
we'll see it [compete with Windows] in any significant way." Meanwhile, the
Gates book, which is widely regarded as a snoozer, soaked up most of his
other comments.

    Mmmh... 'cause almost everyone speaks english, and rare people german or
italian, maybe? I know that it's my right to speak italian, but then I don't
expect
that you can give me an answer... and if one writes me in Swahili, I don't
feel compelled to learn that language, I delete the mail! English is a
standard; I could compress my files with a new outstanding compressor made
by me, but if it isn't tar or zip or bz2 or rar compatible, no one else will
be able to read it... The guys speaking spanish, there, did a correct thing,
declaring a sub-list of that language; in a list speaking english (it's even
in the address), you must speak english. I hope no one expects Oxfordian
grammar, anyway! ;)

    Are u sure that, even after this, you will change platform for games? A
3D support doesn't mean that games will be ported to Linux, considered that
it's still not spread enough between home users, and that the 900f games
are built over Direct3D... I don't think that M$oft will port DirectX to Lin
(I doubt it would be possible, either), nor that Electronic Arts etc. will
translate the code for UNIX with the perspective of selling not more than
50'000 copies of a game for this platform... If you successfully use win to
play, what could make them suppose you want to change this situation?

You're right. There'll (almost surely) never be a D3D for Linux, and it
probably will never replace Win9x as a gaming platform.
However, when the time comes when you can buy any 3D card (3dfx, nVidia,
ATI, Matrox, etc.) and be sure that it'll be fully OpenGL accelerated in
Linux (or in XFree86 itself), things may begin to change.

actually all they need to do is mass copy hard drives. Once you have
it set up You just copy it, stick it in the machine and it'll run. At my comp=
any (~12,000 people),
the NT desktops never get "installed", they just get their entire hard drive
overwritten with a pre-configured partition off the network. If you crash your
drive or screw up your system, too bad, you start over! (data files are saved=
 to the net!)

I reckon the way to go has been established by "those who go down to the
sea" in emulators. I mean, have you tried any of the N64/PlayStation
emulators knocking about. They are very impressive. Take, for example, Zelda
64. The emulator, as far as I remember, is minute (couple of megs maybe?).
The game is 25MB (compressed, I assume). The performance? Damn good.

Think about DirectX. Remember the good old pre-Windows days hacking chaps up
in Wolfenstein. Then Doom. Then Quake. The games effectively came with their
own OS and ran underneath it. And, unless I'm mistaken, that's the way
things are today except now you have to play in Windows. Now you have an OS
inside an OS. The insanity of it. Necessitating an entire CD's worth of
data.

Sony and Nintendo should surrender to the emulator developers and set about
getting one going - I speak of a Nintendo OS for PCs for example. There
should be an OS for gaming/multimedia and an OS for 'other'. Rather than
trying to run one OS under another. Madness I tells ya! Imagine the market
that would open up to them. With audio and video capabilities the way they
are today in the PC market, this should be possible. Have I missed something
here?

Probably not exactly the right place for this but I feel compelled to write
on this thread of 3D APIs for Linux. Sod that. There should be a gaming OS
out there. How about it Suse?

Here's to Susey - the Suse/Sony edition of Linux for playing PS games!!

There is a help file in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/sound.

If you have the standard suse kernel and modules in there,
you probably just need to set up isapnp for it. I'm guessing
it's a pnp card.
Do a =20
pnpdump > /etc/isapnp.conf

Then edit the /etc/isapnp.conf file to give
the irq and io ports. Try to use irq5, as this
will be better for your printer if you move to
a newer 2.2.* series kernel.

Then put those entries in /etc/conf.modules
such as
alias char-major-14 sound
alias sound  sb
options sb io=3D0x220 irq=3D5 dma=3D1 dma16=3D5 mpu_io=3D0x330

Those are good numbers for an awe32, you may need to change
those for a plain sb16.

Then just do a=20
modprobe sb
to turn sound on

The kernel or kerneld should autoload sound
if that feature is enabled.

The StarOffice registration key is killing me... I am ready to run "sosetup"
so I first go to the SO website and fill out the little form and get the key
mailed to me... I type in this info during sosetup and it fails....  i've
tried with two different keys...

Is there something tricky about this?  It seems bonehead proof so I'm not
sure why I'm having a problem.  :-)

Jim,

I tried mucking around with Linux FDISK today.  What I did as tests
follow:

First, I booted off CD #5 (the Live Filesystem CD) and ran fdisk from
/sbin.  I deleted all the partitions on the 4Gb hard disk in the PC (it
is the only drive, and is 4097Mb in size).  Then, I created a single,
primary drive 4050Mb in size, and set it's type to Win95 FAT16 (LBA) -
partition type e in fdisk.  I wrote the partition table and booted the
NT Server 4 CDROM.  Installation proceeded perfectly, and I stopped the
installation after it had successfully formatted as FAT (using 64Kb
clusters) the partition I had created in Linux.  The NT Setup program
saw the partition fine, and claimed it was "Unformatted  or damaged".

Next, I booted the Live Filesystem CD as before and ran fdisk.  This
time I deleted all the partitions and created a primary 2000Mb Win95 FAT
16 (LBA) partition (/dev/hda1) and another primary Win95 FAT16 (LBA)
partition of 2097Mb (/dev/hda2).  I wrote the partition table and
rebooted with the NT Server 4 CDROM.  Setup this time detected /dev/hda1
correctly as a FAT partition (since its size <2048Mb) and saw the second
partition (/dev/hda2, size 2097Mb) as "Unformatted or damaged".  NT
Setup successfully formatted the partition as FAT, using 64Kb clusters,
and I terminated the setup following that.

I would expect no problems subsequently booting either of the tested
partitions to NT, because both of the partitions start less than 4096Mb
into the hard disk.  Only if an NT partition is created beyond this
limit (because of MSDOS using a 16-bit filesystem) is it rendered
inaccessible from setup (although creating a new partition beyond this
limit using Disk Administrator within NT is no problem).

HTH

Alan.

What is the current status of writable DVD's under Linux? Is it possible

I just ordered the Deluxe edition of StarOffice w/ the filter upgrades.
I was wondering if it has a better time now opening PowerPoint Docs? I
tried to open a .ppt file that someone sent me and it just ate mem like
pacman, yet did not display anything. I had to kill the process. :/

I had weird trouble with kppp, as in it didn't work right. I then
decided to get ezppp and use it..works like a charm. Xisp is good with
pppd 2.3 and below if you have to use PAP. If you don't use PAP it's
good above 2.3 and works so nicely..and is very easy to set up..takes 5
mins or less. :)

I hope this helps you.

Hi,

SuSE Linux 6.0. Kernel 2.0.36.

I have a machine with an 8 Gb drive, Linux only.
I have the 3 standard partitions / (/dev/hda3), /boot (/dev/hda1) and
/swap (/dev/hda2 128Mb), which were proposed by Yast.

When I run fsck on /dev/hda3 it's telling me something about 1027
cylinders and that it should be 1024 or otherwise it will give
problems with programs like LILO.=20

I am experiencing strange things such as random crashing, especially
after heavy use of SMB.

I also have the impression that the machine is booting from /dev/hda3
iso. /dev/hda1. That is if I boot from SuSE CD-ROM 1, and then try to
boot from /dev/hda1 it's telling me it can't.

Sorry for the confused problem description, but does this make sense
to anyone? Is an 8 Gb drive perhaps too big for Linux ?

Kind regards,

=3D=3D

I made a couple of rpms for gFTP.
gFTP is a multithreaded FTP client for X Windows written using Gtk. It allows=
=20
to have simultaneous downloads, resuming of interrupted file transfers,
Drag-N-Drop support, file transfer queues for downloading multiple files, a  =
=20
very nice connection manager. It supports downloading entire directories and
subdirectories, sorting capabilities in the file list boxes and many more
features.

gFTP requires gtk-1.1.x or higher. If you have gtk-1.0.6 (which comes with
SuSE 6.0) installed on your system as well as gtkn-1.1.x or higher, you will
get an error when installing this package with rpm -i. You can use:
rpm -ih --nodeps gftp-1.12-1.rpm
, instead. If you have not gtk-1.1.x or higher installed on your
system, you may want to try the static binary. I just didn't test the static
binary because I am too lazy to uninstall gtkn.
This time I am not going to make any rpm for the SuSE5.3 distribution, because
I have not installed gtkn on it.

You may find them at:
http://adriatico.prisma.rm.cnr.it/~maur=

Ciao,

Maurizio.

Hey: if there is any problem related to the way I packaged the rpms, justl let
me know. They are labelled as release #1, so we can go any further :-)=20

I've read all of the past three months emails about installing SuSE
using ftp, but I always get the same message:

"You have either chosen an invalid installation medium or none at all"

I'm installing on a Toshiba Satellite 200CDS using a 5.3 boot disk.

I step through the menus about the ftp host.  I enter (tried
ftp.suse.com, ftp.suse.org, ftp.rnl.ist.utl.pt)

    ftp.suse.com

it connects, then I enter the following as a path:
(I've tried /pub/SuSE-Linux/6.0/, /pub/SuSE-Linux/6.0/suse,
/pub/SuSE-Linux/6.0/suse/)

    /pub/SuSE-Linux/6.0

It loads into ramdisk.  I then step through the "install from scratch",
But when it tries to install the file system, I get this message:

You have either chosen an invalid installation medium or none at all!"

What!!!   Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong?

Thanks.

I currently have an 8.4Gb IBM drive and have no problems under Linux
/boot is /dev/hda2 since I have DOS at /dev/hda1. My other partitions
start at /dev/hda5 since I use one large extended /dev/hda3 for all
the other logical partitions where I have swap /opt /home and /.
I'm not sure what SMB is but I don't think it is related to the
drive size. I also have the fdisk warning about cyl 1027 vs 1024.

Good Luck
Terry

I needed to return to the samba version included in 5.3 because my clipper

Dear all,

The samba mount instruction has been changed for kernel 2.2.x . The
mount command does now look like: smbmount \\\\nbsserver\\users -U
boonen -c 'mount /nbsserver/users -u jboonen -g users' .

You need to recompile samba and you need a high version of samba 1.x
but preferred is to use samba 2.x . when you do /configure --help you
will see al the options. As far as i know doesn't SUSE have any samba
rpm package that works for kernel 2.2.x . It is advisable to install
the new samba in /usr/local and to delete the samba rpm package first.
You need to put in the /etc/profile file the paths for the binairies
and the man pages. Important don't forget to include the smbmnt
instruction while running ./configure (see ./configure --help).

When someone need specific information you may email me. Please
include in that case also the email address for the mailing list as it
might be useful information for other people too.

Regards,

Joop.

When i start up Enlightenment from Gnome, it's blank. There are no
icons/buttons/widgets of any kind. The only way to logout is the
Ctr/Alt/Backspace method.
Yes i havent got my sound configured yet but that should'nt result in these
state of affairs.
Is there something I'm doing wrong or i need to install?
I've already checked Enlightenment.org but nothing on this. I Guess it's
pretty elementary :-), but i do need help here.

I am new to Linux, about 1 week new.  I purchased The SuSE Linux 6.0, and
have installed it, and after many man pages, and How-To's I have got almost
everything working.  But I have a question?  I downloaded the new Kernal
2.2.2 of the SuSE web site, but do not know how to go about installting it.
I have learned how to compile the kernal, as I have done it at least 25
times in the last week!  But I do not know how to upgrade one.

Thanks,

Marshall

I just got mail about the gftp rpm's, so I downloaded it. I have gtk
1.1.13 on my box, but yet the rpm would not install. I downloaded the
source myself and it compiled fine.
I guess my question is : Once one has made an rpm and it thinks it needs
a certain version of a depended program library it won't install?
I am usually a src type of person..but I thought I would give rpm a
try...

I would suspect that you are paying for the installer more than the
software.
After all even with the progress made on making installs easy you need
look no=20
farther than this list to see that it is not without challenges and Dell

Hmmm Wonder if they are hiring, Austin is a pretty kewl place to live.

Could you explain a bit more about what doesn't work? I use Enlightenment

    Totally right! I still don't think that Lin will become a nice and fast
gaming platform, anyway. They're just two different things... I use a
bicicle when I want to go to the supermarket, and a plane when I plan
(uououo, what a pun! ;) to go to San Francisco... guess who is the cycle and
who the plane between Lin and win... ;)
    I am hoping for an accelerated version of 'serious' programs like
POVRay... Blender...

    BTW, anyone knows if there is a landscape modelling packet for linux?
Something like Vista pro or Bryce... I trade the info for the location of
QuakeII and Quake and Doom, if you want... Just go to www.download.com ,
launch a search with the term 'Linux' and there will be showed three pages
full of links to Star Office, Wordperfect and to the ID games...

>There should be an OS for gaming/multimedia and an OS for 'other'. Rather
than
>trying to run one OS under another
    Yeah, that's how I'm doing! Linux for all, and Win for games, even if I
guess that this isn't the way Billy The Kid Gates would approve... ;)

>The emulator [of N64], as far as I remember, is minute (couple of megs
maybe?).
>The game is 25MB (compressed, I assume). The performance? Damn good.
    Damn good and totally out of legality, of course. It's outlaw even
making a image of an owned cartridge for personal use, don't speak about
spreading on Internet... Nintendo haven't the concept of Free Software, it
seems...

I noticed very recently that diald was dying for no apparent reason on
my server. I found it strange since I've been using diald since I first
started using SuSE Linux 5.2. My server system that diald runs on is up
for months at a time and only goes down for a kernel patch or SuSE
upgrade. Less than two weeks ago I upgraded my server to SuSE 6.0 and
about a week after the upgrade I noticed that diald was dying every day.

I'm not sure what was going as there were no error messages in the
syslog file and I couldn't find a core file anywhere on my system. The
only thing I could come up with is that perhaps the SLIP module was
being unloaded from the system. I know that diald needs SLIP and so the
only thing I could think of as a possible solution was to build SLIP
directly into the kernel rather than making it a module.

So far diald has been running for more than 24 hours. That is
encouraging since before I reconfigured and recompiled my server's
kernel, diald didn't seem to be able to run more than 12 hours before
dying. I would have to restart it in the morning for my daily email
check as it seemed to die sometime in the middle of the night.=20

Can anyone else shed some light on this problem?

Tony

Mine did that also. The first time it rejected it, then I shut it
down and tried it a second time, and it took me online to
get the registration key. Maybe if you are online at the install
time it helps. It seems you first put in your "media key" that comes
with
suse. Then it takes you online to get a customer number and=20
registration key.

The newer version StarOffice501, which you need to download, has
a simpler registration.

System Commander is about the best. Around $69.

1. Install the 2.2.4 kernel rather than the 2.2.2 version
2. Uncompress the file you've d/loaded in a temporary folder, rename the
"linux" folder to "linux-2.2.x", then move the whole linux-kernel tree to
/usr/src/
3. delete the link "linux" and make a new one that has "linux-2.2.x" as
target
4. do the following:

cd /usr/include
rm -rf asm linux scsi
ln -s /usr/src/linux/include/asm-i386 asm
ln -s /usr/src/linux/include/linux linux
ln -s /usr/src/linux/include/scsi scsi
make mrproper

5. and then, as usual, make menuconfig, make dep clean zImage (or rather
bzImage) modules modules_install zdisk ................

This is a very safe way, because you keep your old 2.0.36 kernel in case
something goes wrong

That probably means you tried to install lilo in the root
partition, not the mbr?
Make sure your /dev/hda1 is the first on the drive, and mount
/boot there, and put your kernel and System Map in /boot.
Then install lilo in the mbr of /dev/hda

No, the 8 gig drive is definitely ok with linux.
It sounds like you have a glitch in the partitions.
Did you use linux's fdisk to do the original partitions?
Or was it done by dos or window's fdisk?

The hda numbers are assigned as you make them. /dev/hda1 is
not neccesarily the first on the drive. It could be at
the end of the drive if you created it at the end of free space.
Also check that /dev/hda1 is smaller than 1024 cylinders,
you only need about 10 megs, or 1 sector.

Sounds like you are missing the linker, which is called
"as" or bin86, and is in the binutils package. It is the linux
assembler.

Hey thanks for pointing that out. I was playing with Samba

After you compile, copy the System.Map from /usr/src/linux
to /boot.
Copy /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzIage to /boot/vmlinuz

Then run lilo, and you should see "added linux" or whatever
you named it. If lilo fails, edit your /etc/lilo.conf
to give the right names.

In my /boot I keep System.Map036, System.map224, vmlinuz036,
and vmlinuz224. That way I can rename System.map and vmlinuz
to switch kernels if I want.

Also remember to do a make modules and make modules_install.

What about lilo? It's free and comes with every linux
distribution. If you have DOS or Windows and want something
fancy-looking try the wolfpack bootmanager:

Hey everyone,

Well, I'm really sorry, my modem that came with this
machine was a software winymodem after all. I had to
finally call the manufacturer and they told me, sorry
for wasting your time folks.=20

A new internal USRobotics 56k hardware fax/modem is on
its way, however. Should be here soon.=20

Talk soon,
And thanks for all your help,

Cheers!

Hello!

An amusing story: someone new just started at work, I
had recommended SuSE to them. They couldn't get K to
work because their swap disk wasn't big enough and
their machine had little RAM. So they come in and
complain to me about it, and then go on about how they
got redhat to work instead and how wonderful it was. I
told them they hadn't made their swap disk big enougfh
first time and they said:

Them: Are you sure SuSE doesn't have a virus?
ME: Of course not
Them: Well you know that a lot of software, especially
software from Europe is very buggy and has viruses...

Well, he has a point... that evil French company
Microsoft, jeez! ;-) I know that I like many other
european computer people still consider floppy disks as
the avante garde...

*lol*

Cheers!

LILO or if you want to start Linux with M$ software, use a boot-flop.

In the past I had problems with win95. For some reason, win95 kept
overwriting the MBR. Don't ask my why, it had no busines to do so.

A boot-flop works always and is probably the cheapest solution.

Try System Commander (available from most commercial software sources).
It's quite happy to switch back and forth between Linux and Win98 (among
other systems).

There's also a shareware product out there called Bootit that might be
quite capable.  I've downloaded it but not tried it  An advantage of
Bootit over S.C. is that it lets you simulate the effect of more than
three primary partitions, which is what you want if, say, you want to run
the free SCO systems (UnixWare and Open Server), since each of those
insists on running in a primary partition on the primary drive.

KDE seems to come with a very meager supply of icons, all of which have
*.xpm names.  Are there other forms of icons that can be used with KDE?
Any good sources of collections of them?  And is there a way to convert
Windows icons (there are some very large collections of *those* around)
to the .xpm form?

Another question about icons in KDE.  The top of the screen displays the
active applications, each with an icon.  Some of these (not KDE apps)
have icons that don't show up in any other context, and I gather that
those icons are embedded somehow in the program's binary file.  Is there
a way to extract them for use in other contexts?

Or do a `make zlilo' in /usr/src/linux.

I guess you could work without changing that link, but that would oblige you
to type again and again "linux-2.2.4" while setting up the new kernel. If
the link points to the directory tree of the new kernel, you can type just
"linux", which is a bit shorter. AND there may be some programs that refer
to the kernel files with "linux".
Well, I changed the link by deleting it ("rm linux") and then making a new
one by typing "ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.2.4 linux" at the command prompt (in
the /usr/src directory, of course). There must be a better way (just
changing the target, without deleting the link), but I'm kind of a newbie
too (others helped me with upgrading to 2.2.4).
You may want to verify first under KDE or with "ls" what are exactly the
contents of your /usr/src directory.

hi all,
i've got a - hopefully - little problem, wich can be fixed with a little
help as soon as i created it. i edited some things via yast in my
configuration file, rc.config and did numerous other things, triying to
get a ppp-connection working. and now only root is able to login. on
console i get the error-message:

/bin/bash: permission denied

although it is executable by all. nearly the same when i try to start
x-windows with kdm (xterm: cannot open /bin/bash or something like
that). what did i do wrong that caused this behaviour?

thanks for help

ulrich

Those are X pixmap files and I don't know if KDE supports any other
kind. I was able to take an icon file that had an .ico extention on it
and convert to an .xpm file using Gimp. I was able to make it part of a
application link on my desk top. That was the first time I ever used
Gimp but it seems OK for doing simple conversions like I did.

Anybody downloaded the Apache with SSL and the SSLEAY rpms?

Is this step really needed? How often do the links=20

Sounds like you removed the "read" permission on the file... you may
have execute privilege, but if you can't read it, you can't execute it.

Is ImageMagick a commercial product?  Does it run under Linux, or only under

Sax usually gives you the option to test the config
before it actually writes the XF86config and sets the
link to X.

If it tests OK, run it. You can always go back and run sax again
if you don't like something.

The only trick I've heard of, to make X start faster
is to remove resoltions that you don't use.
If you only need 1024x768, you don't need=20
800x600, nor 640x480 listed. This greatly
speeds up X starting by skipping testing on
unused resolutions.

I don't know a thing about KDE, sorry.

ImageMagick runs under linux. There is also xv, which does
format conversions. And there are others as well in the XAP's
catagory. xv is free for non-commercial use. xv has a thing
called "visual schnauzer" which creates thumbnails of whole
directories for you, a very handy feature.

Opps...I stand corrected. I thought I had coverted an .ico file to .xpm
in Gimp but I see that the original file was a .gif file. Sorry for the
confusion.

Hi all,

I just did my taxes and appear to be coming into a sizable chunk of=20

 Any suggestions on a motherboard-- I can't use an Alpha or=20

would be quite appreciated.  Something that deals well with NT ;-(=20
and Netware would also be a plus.

Same here. Drive /dev/hdb is an 8.4 GB drive and fdisk gives the same

2. Is HP DESKJET 672 COLOR PRINTER LISTED ON YAST
3. How many window managers does suse carry now.

What follows is a copy of a letter I sent to the Editor in Chief of "Windows =

Systems, which they've been sending me at work for awhile.  Normally I send it
out with the recycling, unread, but today I did look at it.  Maybe I was just=
 in
a bad mood, but his ignorant biased "editorial" really irritated me.  I'm also
tired of writers like him, who regurgitate the "party line" from Redmond as if
it were fact, instead of what it is....fiction.

Fred
______________________________

Nicholas Baran
Editor in Chief
Windows NT Systems

Dear Mr. Baran,

I normally "pitch" "Windows NT Systems" when it arrives because we've
been planning on throwing NT "out on it's ear," as is being done in so
many other places.  However, for some unknown reason, I didn't today
when I received the May issue.  After reading your Editorial and having
a good laugh, I decided that a response was indeed needed, even though
you more than likely won't publish it.

You take the position that just because Oracle and IBM have ported some
of their applications to Linux, that it's simply a recompile and
therefore shouldn't mean much to the market place at all.  As the Editor
in Chief of a magazine, no matter how small the circulation, you must be
aware that these are only 2 fish in a large pond who have ported their
wares to Linux as well, and that is significant.

You claim that, "Your choices of graphical user interfaces are the Unix
command shell or X-Windows, a primitive windowing system designed more
than 15 years ago."  First, your ignorance of X-Windows is showing.  "X"
can be customized by the user to be a very attractive, fast, and
functional GUI.  Second, there are window managers that load onto "X,"
like KDE that ships with the SuSE Linux distribution, that make any
flavor of 'DOZE look like what you describe for "X!" Further, all of
this can be loaded on an "old" '386 that will more than likely
out-perform 'DOZE on a '486.  KDE in design is so far ahead of anything
MickySoft has come up with that even you'd have to "take notice!"

Another bogus claim you make is, "Systems administrators are users too,
and tools like Microsoft Management Console are of great benefit.  The
fact is that the Windows interface has improved greatly and makes
X-Window a poor substitute."  I'm a Systems Admin., my friend, and like
a great deal of other Sys. Admins. from one end of the Country to the
other, we've dumped NT "like a bad habit," and not just because it's
"butt ugly!"  Namely, NT is not stable, not even by the stretch of your
imagination.  "X" is much, much, more functional than NT....period!=20
Further, a user can have a number of "X" terminals up and running at the
same time, with windowed apps. running in each one, all in a fraction of
the RAM NT would require, and with performance Bill Gates can only dream
of!  Here again, I prefer KDE, but you wouldn't know about that because
you didn't "do your home work" very well.

You also said, "The only major office productivity application available
on Linux is WordPerfect, which won't get you very far in today's
business world."  Again, you didn't "do you homework," or you're being a
MickySoft apologist.  StarOffice puts Office-97 to shame.  The Applix
office suite is also a fine performer, and the entire Corel Suite will
be available before years end....what's your problem?

You're concerned about Linux being used as an application server.=20
Really?  Most Sys. Admins today have enough brains to know that the most
efficient use of software for workstations is loaded locally, not from a
server.  If that's the way you think people should work, then the only
real performance option is to run Linux apps. from X-Terminals.  Don't
even suggest that NT is capable of serving this function for 'DOZE
applications.  To do so would prove much more than just ignorance.

The only accurate information in your "editorial," is that Linux is more
difficult to install than NT, but not my much.  I fully expect that
installation will become much easier before the end of the year, based
on the development being done at SuSE.

The SuSE distribution of Linux has replaced NT here in my dept. at
Cornell.  It is STABLE, FASTER, easier to install, easier to manage, and
cost us MUCH less than NT.  I will soon replace 'DOZE on some of the
workstations as well with SuSE, using the KDE window manager as the GUI.

In the future, I'd recommend that you at least do a credible job when
reviewing an OS.  To have a bias is normal, but to have an agenda is not
only obvious, but discredits any valid comments you may make.

Sincerely,

Fred A. Miller

  Yes, you don't need to get the previous patches, only the patches
between your version and the version you want to goto.

HI all,
      I have just run out of room on my system, and noticed that I have=20
a 68MB x-session-errors file. When I looked in this file, most of the=20
lines are /dev/cdrom: No such file or directory. Now this is fair enough=20
as I don't have a cdrom. However, I think this is caused by kscd. Two=20
copies of it start up automatically every time I log in. Obviously I'm=20
running kde. It is version 1.0 and I'm running suse5.2.
      So I guess my real question is how do I stop kscd from running=20
automatically?

Thanks,
Brad

i think that there may actually be two numbers.  Are you inserting the
media key number at first which shipped with suse 6? My pattern was to
insert this and then connect to the net and stardivision updated my
staroffice installation.

Have you managed to get enlightenment and gnome working ever?  The
reason I ask is that I had difficulties the first few times getting
things going.  When I first tried using the window manager capplet in
gnome it wouldnot fully initialize enlightenment at all.  I was left
like you with no window manager.  Try this.  Comment on the statement
which says exec gnome-session in your .xinitrc and put in as the last
line exec enlightenment.  Now start enlightenment.  The gnome-session
thing shouldnot start now.  Now start the panel by typing in an xterm
panel &.  This should start the gnome panel.  Now look at the window
manager capplet on the panel and see whats selected.  If it says
something other than enlightenment, select enlightenment.  It may dive
bomb you to the console or switch you.  You may have to do this a few
times. The main thing you will want to do is be able to shutdown
cleanly. Now you can re-edit .xinitrc and put back in exec
gnome-session.

These are the steps I have had to do or pretty close. =20

Thanks a lot Danny, that mail gave me the kick I needed
to upgrade to kernel 2.2. I was tired of the oss-demo
shutting down after a couple of hours, so I decided
to try out your recipe. Three tries, and it worked.

1. Didn't see the hint at the end... Failure
2. Tried as fixed in the kernel... Failure
3. Saw the hint. Fixed the bios setting. Recompiled as modules.
SUCCESS!

You're right the bios setting does make a mighty difference.

So, once again thanks for the tips. I now have a working 2.2.3
kernel with my sound card working flawlessly.

Regards

Ole

I'm sorry to disturb the list about this, but
I already have tried the "official" method.

About a month ago, I tried asking the list-admins
to change my address, but with no result as yet.
NOT EVEN A REPLY :(

The case is that my school merged with another and
changed name from hhs to sdu. I have no problem
receiving mail at the old address, but I have to
manually change the From: field each time I want
to send to the list.

Could someone at SuSE please push the right buttons
to get my address changed?

My old address was k01164(a)ko.hhs.dk and the new
one is k01164(a)ko.sdu.dk

Thanks in advance

Does anyone know what version of Enlightenment will
be in SuSE 6.1? And will it work without "tweaking"=20
this time? (unlike 5.3 and 6.0 where E expects to
find itself in /usr/enlightenment)

of linux compared to windows.

Split Up Microsoft? No Way, Says Gates
by Juan Carlos P rez, IDG News Service

March 24, 1999, 3:56 a.m. PT



In the world according to Gates, the trial--now in recess--really boils
down to an educational experience for the government.

"What Microsoft has done in terms of bringing prices down and supporting
the Internet, those are all great things. Computer users around the world
have benefited from our vision of the personal computer," he said. "So
what's going on in court is the government is learning about the technology
business ... and we have very little doubt that at the end of the day our
whole approach to business will be held to be a fantastic thing and very
beneficial to consumers."



Gates emphasized the different versions of Linux, a situation that he said
yields compatibility problems. He also said that Linux's development has
lacked a central organizing entity, which has prevented the operating
system from being as reliable as Windows.

 [SuSE Linux] Newbie questions - scripts in /etc/rc.d for sound/postfix
Date: Fri, 26 Mar 1999 08:34:02 +0100

Hello.

Does anyone have any good scripts to put in /etc/rc.d to handle sound
(through OSS 3.9.2g) and the mailer 'postfix'? I'm thinking about scripts
in the same style as the other scripts that comes with SuSE Linux 6.0.

I have tried changing the 'sendmail' script to work with 'postfix', but it
doesnt work 100 0ke it should. For example, it gives status =3D "failed"
when I try to stop the service (with '/etc/rc.d/postfix stop').

I hope someone can help me here. At least, I hope someone can point me in
the right direction.
(Btw, Postfix itself was much, MUCH easier to set up than Sendmail 8.9.3..
;)

This is how my '/etc/rc.d/postfix' script looks like:

-START-
#! /bin/sh

. /etc/rc.config

# Determine the base and follow a runlevel link name.
base=3D${0##*/}
link=3D${base#*[SK][0-9][0-9]}

# Force execution if not called by a runlevel directory.
test $link =3D $base && SMTP=3Dyes
test "$SMTP" =3D yes || exit 0

# The echo return value for success (defined in /etc/rc.config).
return=3D$rc_done
case "$1" in
        start)
                echo -n "Initializing SMTP port. (postfix)"
                startproc /usr/sbin/postfix start || return=3D$rc_failed
                echo -e "$return"
                ;;
        stop)
                echo -n "Shutting down SMTP port:"
                startproc /usr/sbin/postfix stop || return=3D$rc_failed
                echo -e "$return"
                ;;
        restart)
                $0 stop  &&  $0 start  ||  return=3D$rc_failed
                ;;
        reload)
                echo -n "Reload service postfix"
                startproc /usr/sbin/postfix reload
                echo -e "$return"
                ;;
        status)
                echo -n "Checking for service postfix: "
                checkproc /usr/local/bin/postfix && echo OK || echo No
process
                ;;
        *)
                echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|status|restart|reload}"
                exit 1
esac

# Inform the caller not only verbosely and set an exit status.
test "$return" =3D "$rc_done" || exit 1
exit 0
-STOP-

I presume that you checked that Kscd did not accidentally get placed in your
Autostart folder. If it was then removing it from the Autostart folder will
solve your problem. If it wasn't then read on.

Kscd behaves a bit differently than other apps in that you have to close it
with the '1|0' button in the lower left corner of its panel and not with the
'x' in the toolbar. If you close both instances of kscd this way this should
cure your problem.

If you don't want any apps to start that were left running in your previous K=
DE
session, you can start kwm with the '-nosession' option (at least I _think_
it was kwm, to be sure check the KDE archives at http://lists.kde.org>).

Dear all,

The samba mount instruction has been changed for kernel 2.2.x . The
mount command does now look like: smbmount \\\\nbsserver\\users -U
boonen -c 'mount /nbsserver/users -u jboonen -g users' .

You need to recompile samba and you need a high version of samba 1.x
but preferred is to use samba 2.x . when you do /configure --help you
will see al the options. As far as i know doesn't SUSE have any samba
rpm package that works for kernel 2.2.x . It is advisable to install
the new samba in /usr/local and to delete the samba rpm package first.
You need to put in the /etc/profile file the paths for the binairies
and the man pages. Important don't forget to include the smbmnt
instruction while running ./configure (see ./configure --help).

When someone need specific information you may email me. Please
include in that case also the email address for the mailing list as it
might be useful information for other people too.

Regards,

Joop.

Jim,

I'm assuming that the partition that you are trying to install NT on is
either at the start of the drive, or there are less than 4Gb of
partitions between the start of the drive and the beginning of the
partition you are trying to install NT onto.  If that is not the case,
you would get the partition formatted and all the files copied to it,
but when you try and boot NT from that partition, you would get a
"Missing signature AA55" error message.  Unfortunately, this is a
complete show stopper, because the partition has to start less than 4Gb
into the drive.

As to not being able to get the partition to format, I think it's
probably down to the partition type being used.  FAT is a bit weird in
that it can actually support partitions of up to 4Gb in size, but
doesn't allow you to use them, once they are formatted, for "real-life"
applications.

NT uses this facility to create partitions up to 4Gb in size.  On the
downside for NT, this is the largest partition that the setup program
can create, because it has to create a FAT partition and either install
on that, or convert it to NTFS later on during setup.

I used partition type e, which is the Windows 95 FAT 16 (LBA) type.  It
seems to be able to create the partition absolutely correctly for sizes
<2Gb, but beyond that, NT proclaims that the partition is "Damaged or
unformatted", probably because FDISK isn't entirely comfortable writing
a partition using 64Kb clusters.

I'd be interested to know how you get on with this one: keep me
posted...

Later,

Alan.

Well done, Fred! :)
    but, unfortunately, I guess that guy will keep the same ideas...
unfortunately, being in chief of such a sectorial magazine, one should be
VERY close-minded, and if he changed idea on the subject, he'd lose his
work, after all...
    About this, unfortunately the computer magazines actually don't give to
Linux the space it'd deserve; here, in Italy, there isn't a mag. dedicated
to it (I hope in other countries the situation is different), and on the
others they doesn't speak so often about Lin... Luckily, the situation is
beginning to change: some mags, like PC Magazine or Inter.Net are dedicating
a few pages to it, even if it seems to me that they speak of it in 'yeah,
nice to play with, but what has it that win doesn't?' terms; Inter.net even
published a demo of SuSE 6.0, and I bought my copy after trying it...
    I don't mind about its popularity; I'm thinking that, if Linux was more
diffused, maybe some other good coders would pass to program for it, and its
quality would improve...
    In conclusion, I think it's our duty to spread the verb of Linux in the
world, and your letter is a good step in this direction. Maybe one day
things will change, and Linux will exit from his elitary circle and those in
Redmond will stop to joke on it and feel the anguish of concurrence, and
maybe then they'll stop to mock us...
    Mano :)

I'll have to check when I get home.  The box is there.  I'm sure pretty
sure it's in the box somewhere, not in the manual or the CD case.  I had a
similar problem when I installed StarOffice, but I found the key in the
box.  I'll mail back later.

I found the best way is to "unsubscribe" your
old address, then "subscribe" your new address.
It's all automated. You must talk to majordomo(a)suse.com.
I get a response back in a matter of minutes.

Ole,

There are many ways to 'spoof' email.  Pick a favorite and send an
un-subscribe message as coming from your old address and then a subscribe
from your new address...

Or just subscribe w/your new email...  Eventually the listserv admin will
get tired of the bounced email from your old 'invalid' account or they
might have a script that says something like 'after x bounces, drop the
invalid account from the list'...

Just a thought...

Hello SuSE folks!

Could somebody please explain me why my SuSE 6.0 Linux box tries to dial
up Internet connection by itself even if I don't execute kppp, minicom
or others communication programs. It is happening after rebooting even
before I get loged in and continuing when I'm working in KDE.

What should I change in the setting and where ?

Any help will be gladly appreciated

Hi Ben,
As I explicity stated on the rpm description, on the  package's notes=20
on the web site and on the mail I sent to the list, gFTP requires
gtk-1.1.x or higher to work.=20
For this reason I added a manual dependency to the gFTP package:=20
Requires:  gtk >=3D1.1.0  (actually, on the release #1 I added gtk+ >=3D1.1.1=
2,
which is wrong for 2 reasons - the plus sign and the 12. That's why I made a
release #2).
When you install a package, RPM will check its database to see if all the
dependencies are satisfied. SuSE 6.0 comes with gtk-1.0.6 and gtk-1.1.x (I
don't remember exactly) which is labelled as gtkn. The "n" is necessary to
permit the coexistence of gtk-1.0.x and gtk-1.1.x. (hey, this is necessary for
the RPM database, only. In fact  the libraries have their own version number =
and
don't need any extra label). You say that you have gtk 1.1.13 installed on yo=
ur
system. Well, it can satisfy the required dependency of gFTP only if you made
gtk-1.1.13 an rpm labelled as gtk-1.1.13. If you compiled it by yourself, then
don't expect RPM to care about its existence!=20
If you have a gtk version >=3D 1.1.0 installed on your system, you can force =
the
install of the gFTP rpm using:  rpm -ih --nodeps gftp*.rpm

Have you already tried that?

Maurizio

Greetings,

I have installed StarOffice 5.0 (from the SuSE 6 CD) and am
running SuSE Linux 6 with kernel 2.0.36.

When I am in a word processing document and I insert a table
the table appears as one large grey rectangle. I can move
the cursor from table entry to table entry but I can't see
anything. I even imported a document with 3 tables and they
all showed up grey. When I printed the document however every-
thing is ok! Has anyone any idea what is wrong (I have ensured
that the background and foreground are not the same colour)?

My PC is a Pentium 133MHz (non MMX), 64MB ram with a Matrox
Millenium 4MB graphics card (Display is 1280x1024(a)24bits).

Any help most appreciated,
Roy

Hi,

    I had a similar experience in going from 5.3 to 6.0, viz, a
perfectly-functioning network suddenly no longer worked.  But having read the
messages in this and other threads I had turned IP forwarding on.  I could
access the internet (via cable modem) from my linux box, and I could ping the
internal card from any of the various windows machines in the network, but I
couldn't ping the external card (eth1), nor could I get out.

    I finally figured it out.  I had turned FW_INOUT on in the setup, but
hadn't written a FW-INOUT file.  So all my internal IPs were being denied
access to the internet!  I did this once, and got a smooth running network,
under 5.3, but then I promptly forgot just about everything I did to get to
that point...

    The 6.0 install (on a fresh hard disk) was very smooth, maybe too smooth.
I remember being asked about kernel setup and which modules I wanted under
5.3, but nothing under 6.0.

    Now I need to remember which file it was that contains information on all
of the services like ftp, telent, etc., that I have to turn off.  And I
thought I could upgrade my kernel directly from the internet, via ftp.  I
tried it with 2.0.36 under 5.3 (although I got a compile error, and never
finished up).  But I can't see how to do that with 6.0.

Hi,

I've been trying various high-end motherboards. The two I currently have=20
running with SuSE 6.0 kernel 2.2.3 are:

TYAN S1836DLUAN-GX (voted motherboard of the year 1998 by MaximumPC Magazine)
I have it running with 2x350MHz PII, 256MB SDRAM, 1x4.5GB UW SCSI + 2x9.1=20
UW2 SCSI HD, etc.
The board has 2 channel Adaptec AIC7890, onboard Intel EE 100TX Network=20
card, Sound Card.
TYAN S1836DLUAN-GX retails abt. EURO 580 (Jan.99)

The othe motherboard I have is
ASUS P2B-S
I am running it with SuSE 6.0, 1x350MHz PII overclocked to 400MHz
128MB SDRAM, 1x4.5 GB UW SCSI HD, 1x2.5GB IDE HD
The board has on-board Adaptec AIC7895 SCSI chip, which is not supported=20
by SuSE version earlier than 6.0 (or 5.3 - need to check again).

Both systems are performing well... I only had one of the systems hang=20
once after one of my 5y/o sons played with it for a while :)

Cheers,
Gantcho

Microsoft and other Windows-folk continue to call Linux by its proper name.  =

You need to put the entry
umask=3D0
in /etc/fstab

or use the following mount command.

mount -t vfat -o umask=3D0 /dev/hda? /C

The biggest problem is making sure you get the master-slave
settings right between drives, and your ide cdrom, if you have one.

Let's assume you have /dev/hda as master on controller cable 1,
and your cdrom is slave on controller 1.

Put your new drive as a master on controller2 , that means
you will need to plug a new cable into the motherboard in the
ide2 connector.

Then make sure you go into your bios and tell the system you have
a second drive, most modern bioses will find it automatically
for you.

Then start linux, as root, "fdisk /dev/hdc" and make
at least 1 primary partition.
Then reboot, and=20
mke2fs /dev/hdc1 to make an ext2 filesystem on your new partition.

Then " mount -t ext2 /dev/hdc1 /mnt"

and your partition is mounted. You can automatically
mount it with an entry in /etc/fstab.

I want to upgrade the 2.0.36 on my suse to the latest and greatest.  I
had collected a number of emails about issues on this but lost that
system unfortunately so have nothing to grep through.  If someone could
send an email to me regarding potential issues and pitfalls with this I
would appreciate it.

This should not be a problem as long as you don't
move your current HD to another position.

Just make sure you have the jumpers set correctly.
You might also need to change jumpers on your old
HD, if it is alone on a ribbon, since some HDs have
a single drive setting as well as a master setting.

After the hardware stuff is done, and your bios has
accepted the existence of the new HD, the rest is
easy.

Just make a new directory, make the proper fstab entry,=20
mount your new HD to it, copy the stuff you want to
move to it and make symlinks from their old position,
and you're done.

Good luck.

FYI to all:

"Worm for Linux x86 found in wild
 Mar 25th, 23:35:59

"The worm is particularly amusing in that when run, along with
portscanning, wiping logs, and all the other usual things you'd expect
a worm to do, it also hunts for files with a .html suffix and inserts the
contents of the "SAY" variable (above) into them, over-writing whatever
isthere.
  Other infection symptoms include a ".w0rm0r/" subdir and suid root copy
of /bin/sh named ".w0rm" in /tmp, and possibly a
"w0rm::2666:777:ADM Inet w0rm:/:/bin/sh" entry in your passwd file.
  As far as I can tell, the worm is capable of detecting several well-known
vunerabilities. The logs the Russian company sent us, and the logs that the
worm itself kept, would seem to indicate it's scanning IMAP ports. It
also seems to be scanning POP, rsh/rlogin, telnet and FTP ports, finger,
gopher, etc...
  Once it's into your system, the worm presumably begins to scan and look
for vunerable machines again. How it picks the IP addresses to scan is not
presently known to me. Presumably, the "gimmieip" binary takes care
of that. Someone with more time can dissect it and post the results.
  Here is a file I found on the infected machine called "/tmp/outro" - it
appears to be a log that the worm kept as it probed some system."

Well, try to upgrade from 2.0.36 to 2.2.4 and you'll see you HAVE TO create
these links; otherwise you get this when you do make dep:

gcc -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -o scripts/mkdep
scripts/mkdep.c
In file included from /usr/include/sys/mman.h:32,
                 from scripts/mkdep.c:20:
/usr/include/linux/mman.h:4: asm/mman.h: No such file or directory
make: *** [scripts/mkdep] Error 1

It seems that the links were created/changed automatically with the 2.2.2
and 2.2.3 kernels. But that's just what somebody told me.

Karsten,

        I agree with a lot of what you have said, but you should know
this. I am on several mailing lists that have to deal with Unix,
Windows,
and software in general. I see very high level Unix guys bashing M$ all
the
time like children. This behavior is not indigenous to Linux and freeBSD
users. It appears all the time on bugtraq, solaris and other newslists
that I am on. It is the behavior of people who feel as if they must
prove
something to the world or that they don't have enough self-esteem to

You can get mail at your new address just be (re)subscribing from there.
Then unsubscribe from your old address, manually changing From if
necessary.

You're probably not the only person who's had to do this manipulation.

Try the magical incantation `umask=3D0' in the fstab entry for the FAT
partition.  I assume you've already made it writable.

Can somebody explain how to use transparent

I have two PC's for the job, I'm using one as 
router + firewall (IP masquarade+ipfwadm) and another PC as Squid 
server.


Without the option "transparent proxy" everything works 
fine.


I have compiled a new kernel with the transparent proxy 
option.


 


Thank you

Well, "afterburners on", let the flames fly......

The reason that corporate America likes to bash Linux and support
Microsoft boils down to one thing... the stock market.
The big corporations scratch each others backs to keep the=20
stock market rising..this is the primary concern for most
chief executives...and the lackeys below echo the leader's=20
wishes.
Microsoft charges exorbitant prices for things which linux
gives away for free...that ain't good for stock prices.
So they like to trash linux. They are especially sensitive
because Linux actually IS better than Windows, even NT.

> Microsoft and other Windows-folk continue to call Linux by its proper name.

That is because they respect it, they would look like fools to
criticize the only decent server available for the PC.
Linux afficienados use names to criticize Windows because they know
just about everyone has experienced window's systems going
down for no good reason, and they see that big pile of=20
software, which costs thousands, and is useless. Not to
mention all the secret codes being kept on their computers
in the registry.
Microsoft got away with fooling alot of people into
thinking it was the best OS back in the days of dos and
windows3.1. Nowadays, people are becoming very intelligent
about the inner workings of an OS, and anyone who knows what
they are doing, WILL NOT use an OS whose source code is kept
secret.
What kind of secret government operation is Gate's hiding?

Now, now, calm down little windows user.... you sound like a 7th grader
with those comments.
I'll bet Fred Miller's network can out-perform your Window's network,
nah na-nah na na-nah..........

dear c-programmers of the linux-community,

my problem is a small step for mankind but a big step for me:

I'd like to compile a c program. the code is distributed over several files.

"at work" (using sun or aix) I am used to type 'mkmf' in the directory where =
the code is located to get the proper makefile from a template.
then typing "make" is sufficient to compile the program.

is there anything similar for linux ?
I read about the automake, but therefore you have to make=20
configure files and other more difficult things than typing 'mkmf'.

regards,
markus=20

I had some issues before with sendmail locking all my email down until
lenz helped me with some configuration stuff.  I went in then and told
yast to leave my resolv.conf and hosts alone since it liked to
"beautify" them.  Now after applying the kernel, it seems that yast
changed things back on its own.  This seems rather strange and I
noticed it doing a mailq and seeing all my morning's email queued up
wiating for a sendmail -q to be issued.

Has anyone seen yast reset values like this?  I cannot believe that
this is linked to upgrading to kernel 2.2.4.  Any opinions or comments
out there?

It doesn't bother me what Solaris folk say about non-solaris folk in Solaris =

or what Linuxfolk say to other Linuxfolk in a Linux forum.  It gets tedious a=

while, but so be it.  Everyone needs to feel they belong to a club. =20

My point was that by posting anti-NT messages in this manner (in kindergarten=
, they=20
call it 'nanny nanny booboo') to an NT magazine, it makes Linux look very imm=
ature. =20
And this is what is giving Linux such a nasty image in the public eye.

NT magazines obviously NT as being a mature server-level operating system.  S=

they see a letter from a Linuxy referring to it as 'doze, and other letters f=

Linuxies using words like 'microshit', etc., and calling them inept, it certa=

is a strange thing that MS users behave in a more mature fashion when it come=

expressing their opinions about Linux in public.

To note: Microsoft advocates and enthusiasts haven't made it a habit to send =

End of story.  This is getting too lengthy.  I grow tired, and it's FRIDAY!  =

If you want to use windowmaker, I would recommend downloading the
tarball windowmaker from www.windowmaker.org and compiling.  I also had
some stability problems with the SNAP release of enlightenment on the

Steve,

I remember reading about this before, and I do believe it's possible.
Try reading the CD-ROM HOWTO, I think that's where it was.

It seems that "mileage may vary".  I find KDE to operate very nicely,
overall.  The *only* example I've found of slower performance is the
rescroll event in the kfm after a file is deleted.

The xmix sound mixer has three buttons for designating the recording
source as "line in", "microphone", or "CD".  However, xmix seems to be
capable of receiving inputs from several sources at once, and selecting
one or the other of those had no audible effect.  What exactly is the
"recording source"?

Also, what is the FM device and why is it grayed out?

More generally, is there a better source of information than the man
page, which gives hardly any information at all about how to use xmix?

rof,llll...

Windows users are spitting into the wind.  Three things drive Linux: it
is stable, it is fast and it costs next to nothing.  Especially the
last.  Money talks louder than anything else, and people are beginning
to see exactly how much the windows OS really costs.  We just completed
a $500,000 upgrade to Win95 where I work.  Forgetting Win98  and
supposing that NT-xxxx really is released on 10/6/99 as Gates claims
(again), will my agency spend another half-million bucks in hardware,
software and license upgrade costs just to run Word 2000?  When pigs
fly.  Even if we purchased a retail SuSE package for each workstation
and server, and ditto for WP8 or applix we are talking less than
$50,000.  And, we wouldn't need to junk the old 486's and P75 or P90s.
Rather than pumping more money into Gate's mansion, some of that savings
could go to wages and benefits.  (Hear that unions?)

So, when people express opinions that differ from yours, or they express
them in ways you might not, they are speaking childishly, whereas when
you belittle them you are not speaking childishly.
Nice double standard there, Karsten...  It has a nice Clintonesc
morality ring to it.

Markus, who made the 'template' on your Sun box?  mkmf will work the
same on Linux if you make a template file for it.  Have you looked into
running emacs (or Xemacs)?

In addition to what Zentera said....

I have three HDs and one CDROM on my system.  I found that if I have a
CDROM as master on the second IDE then Linux can't see any HD setting as
slave on that IDE.  I had to change the jumper config on the CDROM to
make it a slave, and make my HD as master on the second IDE connector.

It's the automatic dialer.

The ADM worm in not new.  You can get the source code on any hacker

Vmware is quite interesting technology.  I managed to see it awhile
before the public beta.  One note is to watch the hardware requirements
carefully.  I run vmware on a Dell Inspiron Laptop 366mhz Pentium II,
8mb agp card, 128mb of memory.  This makes vmware move right along.  I
run a NT guest session with all networking enabled just for the heck of
it :)

On a P166 like my desktop, vmware suffered a bit.

If you went to the linuxworld jamboree, you saw vmware running at a few
booths there.

I would try making a symlink and point libstdc++.so.2.8
to your 2.9 version. That way all calls to 2.8 will be
directed to 2.9, which should be compatible.

If it isn't, you'll have to find the 2.8 via a web search.

Well there are Imakefiles, and a thing called "xmkmf";
I really don't know alot about it, but supposedly it
does what you want, (I think).

The package xanim uses it to automate the generation
of a makefile, but I had to use plain old make to compile.

Thats diald starting. Once it dials up the first time (on boot) it will
disconnect and then should behave its self. Diald is a dial daemon so it
lays in the background listinging for dialup commands such as ftp - telnet -
ping - fetchmail etc...
Its very handy when it working in the correct envioriment and is usefull for
cron jobs you can create to dl mail news.
the correct way to start stop diald is
/sbin/init.d/diald stop
/sbin/init.d/diald start
if it buggs out on ya then do a ps x    get the pid then .... kill -9 pid
usually pid 111
but if you do that, be warned that diald will leave behind a stale pid in
/var/run
you'll need to remove this if you want diald to run again
it can be disabled in rc.config
pico /etc/rc.config ctrl w look for diald and remove yes
have a good time

I also remember in the help file in compiling the kernels
with make menuconfig, under scsi support, there is an option
for "probing all luns" ??? or something like that. The help
file mentioned something about it being useful on multiple cd changers.

Anyways, There is something about it in scsi kernel configuration.

Isnt the 2.8 libstdc the one you need for install the glibc applixware
on SuSE 6?  I just checked ftp.suse.com and the libstdc that netscape
is looking for is at:

=
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/SuSE-Linux/suse_update/Applix/4.4.1/glibc>

Its file libstdc++-2.8.0-10.i386.rpm.

Hope this helps.

Hello:

I'm trying to configure my second ethernet card via YAST by selecting the
following:

System Administration|Network Configuration|Network Base Configuration

...however, the option "Network Base Configuration" isn't enabled?  Why is
this so?  How can I accomplish using this configuration option.  I simply
want to activate another ethernet card and at the same time, assign an IP
to it (192.168.1.1)

Thank you all.

That is correct.  I do compile that into the kernel, but that is only so I can
use all 6 CD drives.  Each one has to be setup a Logical Unit Number in order
to be accessible.

Thanks, installing that rpm fixed the problem. Communicator 4.51
starts OK now (I can't comment more as I have only just launched it)

Hello,

there is smth I do not understand: I have bought a SuSE 6.0=20
distribution in the beginning of February (the correspondent
ammount has be taken of my credit card on February 10). Since
then I have not received anything (6-7 weeks). The note at the web site
claims that it takes <=3D3 weeks ito reach any customer in West Europe
(France in my case). I would like to know
is that sort of delay is normal and if not whom could I contact at SuSE (
orders(a)suse.de does not respond).

Thanks,
Anatoli=20

I have definatley noticed a difference after recompiling a new kernel. After a
fresh install of suse 6.0 (2.0.36), KDE wants to die. And mouse movements are
kind of jerky. Compiling 2.2.3 makes a huge difference. No waiting and the mo=
use
is just fine.

I'm using the kde version that came on the suse disks. I'm also on a scsi hdd.
96mb sdram. I have a 430 tx m.b. which can't cache more than 64mb. I did not =
try
to recompile 2.0.36 but that would probably also help.

That's not true, Linux can do bussines in MS$ lands, the only thing you've
to do is to show all
the advantages you and the bussines you're working on can get by using Linux
to your boss,
when money speaks MS$ isn't an option.

Have you sent up networking for the card on win 95?
Did you add a tcp/ip adapter for the eth card in 95?

eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:C0:F0:32:05:03
          inet addr:192.168.1.1  Bc

you should have an ip on 95 such as 192.168.1.X where X would be another # s
set the eth card on 95 in network tcp/ip properties
ip address specify address 192.168.1.2 add subnet 255.255.255.0
disable wins configuration
gateway your linux ip #
DNS your providers DNS #s
Host you 95 machine name  (as it apears in network neghiborhood)
domain your providers domain name
reboot 95 and you should be able to ping and ftp telnet etc from 95 to linnux
also, ip masq and firewall are included in the 5.3 stock kernel
 (not sure if this will work for you... but it works for me ;-)

I have no experience with 6-pack cd's. But going from
what I've seen with cdda2wav, you need to specify
(Bus,ID,Lun) to get to your 6 different cd's.

I'm just curious, at your boot time when your=20
scsi bus is probed, does it report just scd0,
or scd0 thru scd5 ?

The card must be recognized at boot time before it
can be configured in the network. If it's pnp, it must
be setup with isapnp.conf. If it's PCI it's automatically
found.

Then you must set the card up with options in=20
/etc/conf.modules or build it into your kernel.

For eth0 you should have a couple of lines like:
alias eth0  ne
options ne irq=3D* i/o=3D*

You should have similar entries for eth1,
alias eth1  ne2k-pci
options ne2k-pci irq=3D* i/o=3D*

You substitute your card modules and irq and i/o info.

Once you do that the cards will be found, and you can assign
them addresses.

If the cards are identical, I think you only
need one option line and you put commas between values.

Disclaimer: this may have syntax errors, but it will point
you in the right direction.

If I was you I'd just stay at home that weekend. :) In Germany Thursday
(4/1) is a normal day. Friday (4/2) everything is closed down for "alright
Friday". Saturaday (4/3) is a normal half day, ie most all close sometime
between 12 & 16:00. Then Sunday (4/4) is a normal Sunday, ie closed.
Lastly Monday (4/5) is also a Sunday so it's closed too.=20

Now of course, this does not work if you're in NATO, have bombs, will
travel.

Hope this helps.

Where did you get that?
I went to the Netscape site, and when I tried to
download the "unsupported 4.51 version" I was
given a 4.5 version to download.

When I try to get the supported version of 4.51,
I got one with libc5 dependencies.

Thank you for the prompt reply.

The network cards (i.e. Dec tulip PCI) are actually being recognized at
boot time.  I posted my dmesg output on:

http://www.techlinks.com/helpme.txt>

The problem is even though they are recognized AND I can manually +
successfully configure them with IFCONFIG, I simply wanted to use the
YAST utility.  I even tried manually seting the IFCONFIG_1 variable in the
rc.config file but even after I do this and run SuSEconfig, I still don't
get an active display with the utility IFCONFIG.  Remember, all I'm trying
to do is make the adapter come up and be displayed as up via IFCONFIG.
The OS picks it up fine.  Thanks in advance.

Lester

PS:  I've taken earlier recommendations to use a card that SuSE Linux 6.0
will recognize off the back and remove any headaches.

For 2. above, you may have to upgrade your ghostscript to version 5.10
like I did. It contains the filters for a lot of more recent printers
including my Epson Stylus 600. Go to the SuSE support database
http://www.suse.de/support/sdb_e>, then do a keyword s=
earch on
"ghostscript". It will give you more information.

Thank you dizzy for your prompt reply.  Your web site is awesome with
great Linux helpful links.  Great job!

I've setup everything on the Win95 clients as you've described.  I just
figured I didn't configure something properly on my Linux box.  Just
because I have IP forwarding/firewall/masquerading built into my kernel,
don't I have to setup the Linux box properly such that my Win95 clients
can successfully ping eachother OR ping hosts past the gateway on
192.168.1.1?  Perhaps the info on:

http://www.techlinks.com/helpme.txt> wasn't help=
ful.  Thanks everyone for
your help, nonetheless.  I'll keep fighting through this.

Remember, my Linux box can ping any of my win95 clients successfully.
It's just the other way around.  The only thing my wi95 clients can ping
is the gateway at 192.168.1.1 (i.e. eth1) where eth0 is my card connected
to my ADSL router

That's interesting....  I was running SuSE 5.3 and did the default
upgrade to SuSE 6.0.  The first thing I had to do was slow down my mouse
because the default acceleration level was too high.  Neither distro
ever gave jerky mouse movements.  KDE has never died on me.  Yesterday
Netscape 4.5 locked my mouse up and the menu hotkeys were not
functional, but I was able to open up another console and kill
Netscape...  That was the first time Netscape 4.5 locked up...  It not
have been locked but my system responds so quickly, even for a P166 65MB
RAM, that I got bored waiting for it to do what ever it was trying to do
and recaptured control... =20

BTW, my uptime is 17 days, 13 hrs  since I last shut down, and that
shutdown was after a lightning strike close by suggested prudence.=20
Prior to that it had been up since my upgrade to 6.0 in February.=20
Compare that to my PC at work where a program VFP 6, a P266 128MB RAM
workstation. Yesterday it crashed four time.  Typically, 1 to 3 times a
day.  About 800f the time it is due to VFP.  The CEO visited me
yesterday to talk about possible development systems to replace VFP.=20
The conversion spread to Linux, and for the first time he suggested that
the move to Linux for all 300+ workstations and 30+ servers was
inevitable.  The tide is rolling folks!

Steve,

A friend of mine had this working with absolutely no effort whatsoever.
(assuming you've got scsi in the kernel).
Just create several mount points (cdrom0-6 etc), and the thing just
automatically unmounts and mounts each time you do a search down the tree!
Brilliant stuff.

Regards,
Mike.

There's a really simple answer to that question "what do you prefer, holdin'
some one responsible
or that the thing actually works without unexplainable hangs and problems?".
And let them see a real test
, I've done so in the last work I had, and they're so happy with Linux that
they changed the Novell server into a
linux one after the proyect that depended upon the novell server was
finished.

As you said the ones with the checkbooks have to be sure on what they do,
but some one has to tell them that
while an Nt can fail and you can held responsible Ms$, you'll get months
till the bug is corrected, not hours or days as
it's the rule on Linux, and on those months you'll lose more money than any
perjudice you can suffer by using linux.
A example, due to an error on the mother board of our linux server we lost
accidentally one of the disks, just the main one,
the mbr seemed corrupted ,I took the ext2 especs and wrote a program to try
to recover all the information, in less than a week
after the crash all the info was recovered with no cost; if you suffered
that on NT, you can hold ms$ responsible, and while you get some response
from them, you either lost all your info or you pay really big bucks to a
recovery enterprise so they recover the data.
There's a great economic point in using free software, you certainly don't
get any guarantees but what can give you more guarantee
that a great pool of developers and web sites using linux?.

not right, your trying to mount the mount point.  try 'mount /dev/hdc'.
if that dosen't then try 'mount /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom'.  make sure the dir

Is your changer an ATAPI unit or a SCSI unit?  I'm running an ATAPI CD changer
under SCSI emulation (set up in the kernel), but logical unit probing didn't =
seem
to work right under the emulation.  I can use the changer under Windows, but
under Linux I can only get at the first unit.

Hi Y'all
there was a post here not long ago that someone's g++ gave:
configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C++ compiler cannot =
create executables.
when running a configure script. Mine's doin' it too!
The config script is one for korganizer 1.1.
The suggested solution was to make sure gpp was installed.
Unfortunately, that solution doesn't solve the problem for me.
I went through yast and made sure i had everything possible
relating to c++ installed and I'm stumped.=20
Help!
Thanks
Andy

Is your friend's changer a true SCSI unit, or is he using the kernel SCSI
emulation of an ATAPI device?   I couldn't get the changer (mine's a NEC ATAPI
4-slotter) to access more than the first slot, even with LUN probing.

try pinging the 95s without the firewall activated, Sounds like the firewall =
may be
keeping your lan seperated. Maybe post your fw portion of rc.config. Possibly=
 your
"world" device is the eth? where it should be what your connecting to the int=

with ie: modem
just a thought keep us posted Id be interested in what the problem is/was.

have a look (this is for compiling wvdial)
1) To be able to compile the source in SuSE 5.3
youll first need to start yast and install gpp which is a C++ compiler its
in the development section of packages.
 yast
choose and install packages>change create configuration>development>gpp GNU C=
++ compiler
F-10 >save configuration>load configuration>start installion

   I've run into a problem early in the process of installing=20
SuSE 6.0 that I hope someone can help me with (or point me toward=20
an information source that can actually help).

   I have a 10G IDE hard drive that I'm planning on running both=20
Linux and Win98 from.  I used FIPS to partition the drive so there=20
are 8G for Win98 and 2G for Linux.  The problem is the fact that the=20
disk has 1247 cylinders and during the installation YaST refuses to=20
have anything to do with creating a partition.  I realize that the=20
kernel wants to be installed under 1024, but I assume there's no=20
reason that Linux can't make use of the cylinders over 1024 for=20
things like my /usr and /home partitions.

   Now the questions:

   Is there any way to get YaST to deal with creating partions that=20
will exist in whole or in part past 1024?  If I create them using, for=20
example, FIPS will YaST be able to deal with changing them from WIN95=20
partitions to Linux?

   If I intend to boot Linux from a floppy does the kernel still=20
need to be kept under the 1024 limit?  If so, how much space should=20
I make sure I have under that limit for my root partition?

   I've looked in the SuSE support database and at the mini-HOWTO=20
about large disks, but I wasn't able to find clear answers to these=20
questions.

Thanks for your help,

Mike

   *sigh*

   The 5th line in that paragraph should have read, "have anything to=20
do creating partitions that extend past 1024."

Paul,

I also have an NEC IDE/ATAPI cd changer.  I got a small c program off the
web which was written by Gerhard Zuber.  It allows you to change the current
disk of the NEC device.  If you are interested, I can send you a copy of the
code.

The burning question for the genius computer gurus is: can this utility be
called by the automounter so that the disk is first changed to the desired
disk and then mounted?  This would allow us NEC changer types to have the
same functionality of the SCSI  crowd!

So what your saying... is to have them all setup and mounted and Linux will do
the rest.  If that is what your saying,  I've never been able to get that to
work.  I wonder if that has to do with the SCSI adapter itself.

If you have a kernel > 2.2.0-pre7 and < 2.2.3, then try

Hello SuSE folks!

I have a dual processor PII 400 SuSE 6.0 Linux box. I compiled kernel
with SMP=3D1 enabled in the Make file. When I used original 2.0.36 kernel
which came with distro I had a total of 801.18 bogomips on the both
processors. cpu0 - 400.59 bogomips cpu1 - 400.59 bogomips Looks like the
system load on the both processors was splitted evently. When I
downloaded and compiled a new 2.2.4 kernel with SMP option enabled, I
got the total of 800.36 bogomips on the both processors. cpu0 - 400.59
bogomips cpu1 - 399.77 bogomips Why these values are so different ? I
suspected that there was something wrong with cpu1. I changed the new
kernel to the old original one and again I got all previous bogomips
values on the both processors as 400.59 and 400.59 Does it mean that the
new 2.2.4 kernel splits processor load unevently or I should change
something in somewhere. Does somebody know what represents bogomips as a
parameter in a general meaning?

Thank you in advance

Alex

Hi

I've been trying, without success, to install SuSE 5.3 on a
very old 386 laptop with a plip connection to my main linux
box.

The plip and nfs connections are working fine - however, once
I've chosen the packages to install with YaST, it begins the
installation, then tells me an error occured - looking in
the /var/lib/YaST directory at the file YaST.err I see -

Sat Mar 27 12:12:10 1999
 ERROR: Open Output File, DETAIL: 0 FILE: SystemCmd.cc LINE: 506
program aborted!

If anyone can give me any ideas as to how to resolve this - or
point me in the right direction, I'd be very grateful :)

TIA

Hello everybody!

I want to use 2.2.4 kernel with my SuSE 6.0 distro. When I invoke kppp
and try to establish connection with the Internet kppp tries to
initialize the modem and does it infinetely and looks like a frosen. I
returned to my previous 2.0.36 kernel through LILO reconfiguration and
everything is working again with the same setting in YAST, rcconfig,
resolveconfig, /ppp and so on. What is a problem ? When I compiled new
2.2.4 kernel I included all nessesary PPP SLIP supports. What and where
should I tweak in the setting to make my modem work?

Thanks

I see what your saying now.  I can get it to work like that also.  But what I
want to do is be able to go into Yast and say add a new package without
prompting for a new CD.  Instead of asking for a new CD(say CD 2 or 3), it wo=

just automagically switch.

The booting partition can't "straddle" the 1024 cylinder limit
from what I've read.

If I were you I would make /dev/hda1 a 1 sector partition to
mount /boot. Then divide the rest up anyway you want.
/dev/hda1 will only be about 10 megs and surely won't straddle
1024 cylinders.

It looks like you have it. Have you tried to mount

  mount -t iso9660 /dev/sr1  /cd2

  etc.

If that works, then just put entries in /etc/fstab.
If it dosn't work you need to find what you have to link
the /dev/sr* to, to get a mount to work.

Wrong! It can. The reason is simply, that lilo remembers the physical
location of data on the disk. At boot time it doesn't care about
files, directories, not evev filesystems. That's the reason why you
can even store your kernel image on some mounted dos or windows
partition. Lilo writes only physical locations in its mapfile. (There
are different methods, how lilo can do that. But that's irrelevant in
this context.)

Anyway it's better to work around that. Otherways, whenever you copy
one of the files you would have to assure that it hasn't been stored
beyond 1024.

That's a reasonable solution.

Hi,
I read that ipchaining has replaced ipforwarding
to do ip masquerading with a couple of machines.

I lucked out and got it to work.
My router is connected with a 33.6 modem, and
my lan machine is connected thru a
10 M/sec ethernet.

I'm getting download speeds of large files on my
masqueraded lan machine of 1.5K/sec , which
is about half my 33.6 bandwidth.

I have the setserial on the com port set to
spd_vhi and my ppp0 MYU is 1514.

So is this about the download speed that I should expect,
even if my router isn't using any bandwidth, i.e. idle?
Could I ever expect to get the full 33.6 bandwidth
on the masqueraded machine?

Or is there something that I can adjust?

   Actually, the real problem is that fdisk doesn't want to let me=20
create any sort of partition that goes past cylinder 1024.  Here's=20
the relevant info from YaST's partitioning screen:

   At the top of the screen it says:

     Fdisk detected the following hard drive geometry:
        Disk /dev/hda  255 heads   63 sectors  1024 cylinders
        One cylinder has 8225280 Bytes

   But the table reads:

     /dev/hda1    1    957   7687071   c   Win95 FAT32 (LBA)
     /dev/hda2  958    970    104442   c   Win95 FAT32 (LBA)
     /dev/hda3  971   1247   2225002   c   Win95 FAT32 (LBA)

   At this point I am unable, after deleting hda3, to create a=20
new partition in its place that ends past cylinder 1024.

   I tried using fdisk in a new virtual console (using alt-F2 to=20
get there) but encountered the same problem there... I couldn't=20
create a partition that went past cylinder 1024.

   As for /dev/hda1, that's currently my Win98 partition and I'd=20
prefer to keep it that way if at all possible.

What I've done was to use a third-party software (e.g. - in my case
Partition Magic by Powerquest - check www.powerquest.com). This software
not only lets you create, resize and move the partitions anyway you
want, but it also recognizes Linux native (ext2) and Linux swap type
partitions, and in plus acts like a boot manager. I used this piece of
software to create a partition at the end of my HDD, installing Linux in
the middle (a pretty ugly solution, I admit).

Creating instead a small /dev/hda1 could be indeed a solution, since we
know that even though DOS and Win9x won't install but on drive C:
(/dev/hda1), they are dumb enough not to recognize ext2, hence thinking
/dev/hda2 is the drive C:. Anyway I haven't tried this way. Let us know
if you succeeded and how.=20

Best regards,
Dan

Hi Zentara,

one thing I found helped with download speed, was to tweak the
/etc/ppp/options file. I've my mru @ 250 & the mtu @ 1500.

Secondly, if you read over your documentation that came with your modem,
you may find adding the odd instruction to your initialization string
will get it to work harder for it's living, as it were.

My modem is a Dynalink 28.8 & I regularly get 30 bps, but it varies from
stall to 60 bps. Using hardware flow-control & instructing the modem to
negotiate up the speed, with 0.000000E+002, for a Rockwell V34 chip.

My full string is ModemIniString=3DAT&F&C1&D2&K3L0=20

Hope this helps.

Geek Greek   :-)

I installed SuSE 6.0 a couple of weeks ago, and have been using the
2.0.36 bundled kernel.  I finally got some time this weekend and
compiled/installed the 2.2.4 kernel.  However, now my CD-ROM doesn't
work. =20
# mount /mnt/cdrom
results in:
mount: fs type unknown not supported by kernel

My /etc/fstab looks like:

/dev/hdc	/mnt/cdrom	iso9660	ro,noauto,user 0 0

which is how its been since the beginning.  The drive is an Acer 24x
ATAPI/IDE drive, and was working like a charm under RedHat, SuSE 5.3,
6.0, and I've compiled many kernels.  I've compiled 5 times already
double, triple, and quadruple checking all the options on block devices
and file systems.  Any tips? =20

I'm not compiling anything as modules, so it can't be that a mod is not
loaded...  Support for Joliet and ISO9660 fs are selected, as is support
for the appropriate ATAPI/IDE block devices.

No, I've seen this before.  Michael, have you tried "cat /proc/fstab" (or
whatever file in /proc lists all the installed drivers for file systems)?  I
had a similar problem with a Red Hat installation on a laptop.  No matter
what I did, the system would not touch the CD-ROM driver after a kernel
build, and it always looked like iso9660 support wasn't compiled in (even
though I knew it was).

Unfortunately, I never found an answer... someone suggested a bad or
corrupted kernel.  The frustrating thing was that SuSE never had this
problem on the same machine.

BTW, I had to recompile the kernel for this machine in order to turn on APM
support.

mount:  the kernel does not recognize /dev/hdc as a block device
        (maybe `insmod driver'?)
# mount /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom
mount:  you must specify the filesystem type

FWIW, I've always used mount /mnt/cdrom in the past...  And yes, the dir
does exist.

What have you found in the way of a well made, well supported, Socket 7,
ATX, 100 MHz motherboard that works well with Linux?  I had placed an order
with a vendor for a case, a bunch of parts including an Asus P-5A, but was
advised that that MB is on backorder.

What about VMWare?  http://www.vmware.com>

You can continually run one operating system (Linux) and start NT or
95/98 in a separate session if the need be, much like a virtual
terminal.  Then you just minimize or close the Win session and your back
in Linux.  VMWare claims you'll still get 900erformance of your Win
applications, which is pretty acceptable unless you're doing some real
heavy work. =20

But be warned:  you'll need a Pentium II 266 with min. of 64 MB RAM to
make use of it.

I have a question about RPM's. Why are they so much better then source?
I have used source for the last 5 years. When I try to use RPM's it's
usually a sticky situation.

Thanks for any input. :)

Just my extremely subjective opinion and I use both.  I like rpms for
some things like I downloaded rpms for the latest gnome stuff because I
wanted to see gnome running but then I decided I wanted to compile
things so I found that some of the program's configure scripts had
problems so I installed gtk/glib.  I tend to use an rpm for something
quick that is packaged on the suse 6 cd's.  As an example, after doing
the gnome thing, gimp would not run because of failed dependencies for
gtk.  The gnome list informed me that you can actually have two
versions of gtk installed hence the gtkn and glibn on the gnome site.=20
I then installed the gtk and glib rpms from the suse cd.  I still could
not manually configure gimp 1.0.2 due to some issues with gtk or gtkn
or gtk devel.  When I decided I wanted the gimp, I did a yast install
and all it wanted was aalib which I selected for auto.

So my answer is that I use the best of both worlds.  I think rpm's work
for me but I like the control of configuring.  I like configuring also
but if I want something that seems rather complex and someone has built
an rpm spec for it, I tend to grab it.  I am a wimp I guess; but I
still like the easy way that rpm offers.  I have been stung a few times
like with the craziness surrounding the gtk upgrade path with rpms.  I
also have installed my own self-rolled libs and had rpm installs fail
but configures, make, and make installs work for the same program.

I gave some thought to compiling kde 1.1 until I saw the rpms for 1.1 on
suse's update site.  Too much of a temptation for me :)

Hi everyone, I need your help on one problem.

I used to connect to the Internet using Dial Up Networking in Win98,
checking the option "Bring up terminal window after connecting".
That is in a terminal window I give my username and password, after a
string of weird characters appear and I press "continue", and within few
seconds I'm connected.

I recently switched on Linux (SuSE 6.0) and I'm here to stay - that's
for sure. I tried to connect using a KDE tool, very similar to Dial Up
Networking, and I also have the option of logging onto network using a
terminal window - and everything works smoothly until I see the
characters string and I press the "continue" button. In within seconds I
get a message saying that "The pppd daemon ended unexpectedly" and I'm
disconnected. Can you help me by telling what I should do?
I'm not afraid to learn how to edit configuration files, so if you think
I should'n use the KDE "dial up" environment and if you could suggest me
an alternative way, I'm also very interested. Thank you very much.

Dan

Let me see...

If i understand your problem correctly,it sounds similar
to one i had.

A line in /etc/lilo.conf should fix this.

append =3D "ide1=3Dnoautotune"

add the above ^ line to your /etc/lilo.conf below the
vga =3D ***** part.

also ide1 would become ide0 if your cdrom was on this channel.

I have my cdrom as hdd , a slave on the second channel.

This fix does work,it may take some tweaking,along with other
stuff you`ll run across.

You will have to run /sbin/lilo and then reeboot the machine for this
to work.

Edit the file /etc/ppp/options and delete the `lock'. And read
the kppp help.

Partition Magic lets you move things around and create a little
space at the beginning of a drive.

I do remember having a similar problem with a big hard drive,
where yast and fdisk complained about not being able to do what I asked.
It turned out to be the "Drive Rocket" or other similar
bios adaptor software . This usually gets installed on any
windows machines with big drives.
I had to use a floppy boot disk which contained the bios adaptor
software, then disable it. It is actually an electronic switch
on the hard drive electronics, from what I remember.

Then I went back into linux fdisk, and could do exactly what
I wanted, with no "error messages" about cylinders. All I
needed was LBA chosen for the drive in the motherboard bios.

They are NOT better than source,=20
they are EASIER for end users to install.
They are the choice of new users .

Apologies for duplicate postings, but I'd like to make sure I sound
a diverse population.

Today' London "Sunday Times" feature "Innovation" (pp 10-11 of "News
Review", http://www.sunday-times.co.uk> ) has an article by =
David Hewson
(of "Linux, the Program from Hell" fame) entitled "Linux wins backing of
computing giants".

His attitude to Linux is much more moderate than it was: the article
is basically balanced and fair, including some sound negative comment.

However, he states:

  "Behind the hype there is precious little sign of Linux becoming
   a serious, versatile desktop OS. If all you need is a browser
   to get through the day, it's fine. But if I boot the PC I am
   using right now into any kind of Unix the list of stuff I lose
   -- music composition, accounting and personal finance to name
   but a few -- is endless because the applications just aren't
   there. On top of that, Linux is difficult to set up, fails to
   understand the difference between a desktop PC and a notebook,
   and lacks any kind of plug and play facility."

I'm sure the last sentence is simply wrong in point of fact.

If, in the previous sentence, he'd given a longer "list of stuff I lose"
one might be in a better position to respond constructively.

However, can I ask people what they would use for "music composition,
accounting and personal finance"? I'm aware of good programs for
creating musical scores which can also generate MIDI output, but I'd
hardly call them top-flight composition tools; and it does seem that
the accounting/finance area is thinly served.

He didn't mention OCR (optical character rcognition) either. Where is
the OCR program for Linux that works?

Now that vmware is out ( http://www.vmware.com> ) people who want to
can run Windows applications on top of Linux without, it seems, losing
much or indeed anything, so this could be the basis of another line of
reply to Hewson's article: he can start up Linux and the "list of stuff I
lose" would be empty because it would all still be there!

Comments, info, contributions, anyone?

Best wishes to all,
Ted.

I like rpms because they are so easy to uninstall. I have no clue how to
remove tar.gz installs. Anyone care to give lessons?

I am not particularly fond of the kppp program although it does work
and I know people use it here successfully.  To me, there are a number
of options you can use and still use kde overall.  The easiest tool I
have seen for dialups will not do the term window but all it creates is
one file to edit when you use it.  Check out wvdial which is included
in the suse cds.  Another one I particularly like is xisp. Xisp can be
set to bring up a term window.  I think others can give wisdom on why
kppp does what it does.

Use instmon. It creates a list of files that have been

I need to uncompress some bzipped files, so I've installed the program from

When I type man bzip, the thing tells me there is no such a man page!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try man bzip2 and man bunzip2.  ;)

Removing tar.gz packages is more difficult if you don't
keep track of what is getting installed. You are right.

I usually just remove the directory that it creates and installs
itself in, if it just puts a binary in /usr/bin, then just delete
that binary. I ususally leave the man pages in there.=20
Midnight Commander sure comes in handy for doing those removals.

Dear Nelson,

I have a request if you sent any email can you please sent it as plain
text and not with all these attributes. It's even more difficult to
read.

Regards,

Exploring my Linux, recently I began to appreciate bzip2... It's really a
wonderful archiver, expecially paired with tar; outstanding compression rate
and speed and all... But, but, it would be really useful to me if I could
manage .bz2 (or .tar.bz2) archives also in windowsxx, for example for
distribution of files among the friends of mine. Do you know any program
that can decompress these archives, for example as WinZip does with tar/gz
ones?
    Thanks

Perhaps they are easier to install, but I dunno.  I downloaded the Samba
2.2.x file as an RPM, and thought I'd installed it (I forget the exact RPM
command, I think the one for updating an already-installed version "-U"
maybe?) and I still have Samba 1.19.x on board.

I downloaded several RPMs of various programs from the SuSE site, to correct
"security" problems, and I'll bet  none of them ever really installed
either.

But I'm not having any better luck trying to move from the 2.0.36 to 2.2.3
kernel, using tar.gz files either.  I've tried twice, and all I get are a
bunch of extra files and directories, and no way to tell which is which.   I
think I wound up with a complete copy of 2.2.3 installed *inside* another
copy of a 2.2.3 directory.

I  followed the listing provided earlier (see 6.0 Finally arrive) by W.D.
McKinney, but after I did "ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.2.3 /usr/src/linux" and
tried "cd linux", I got a message saying unable to locate the file or
directory.   Yet when I went into /usr/src/linux-2.2.3 I could clearly see
the link from linux to linux-2.2.3

I couldn't get 2.0.36 set up under SuSE 5.3 either, so I'm no worse off than
I was before.  But I think that's why people are waiting for SuSE 6.1.  Why
bother screwing around with something that never seems to work for you?
Want kernel 2.2.3?  or 2.2.4?  Get a complete installation, blow away your
old one, and re-install.

Right now I've got SuSE 5.3 with kernel 2.0.35 on one hard drive and SuSE
6.0 with kernel 2.0.36 on another, and as soon as I find something that
worked under 5.3 not working under 6.0, I go back to the other drive and see
if I can find the *.config or *.conf file or whatever, and see what it looks
like.

And since I can't seem to send output to the printer, I have to e-mail the
file to myself and pick it up on another computer.

I doubt that Karsten has any problem accepting anything one might say in
either
promoting linux or bashing microsoft.  Not to speak for someone else but
that never
seemed to be the point.

The point is that when some of us try to introduce linux to or use linux
in=20
professional environments one of the obstacles we must overcome is the
perception
that linux is an enthusiasts hobby kit.  This perception is often
reinforced when one=20
of the "suits" (You know these guys, they are the ones that have little
technical
knowledge but control the checkbook.) reads a bit about linux and runs
across=20
the kind of things that have been quoted in this thread before.

When I talk to my friends in the IT department I work in we trade barbs
and=20
digs about one another's chosen OS.  I refer to windoze, Microcrap, and
even have a=20
BSOD screen saver on my desktop workstation.  They in return call me a
unix geek=20
tease me for liking to do things the hard way. (We know *nix isn't the
hard way=20
but it is a perception of NT and winXX users.) This is all in fun and
even though=20
we cover some real and serious issues and regularly convert the MS users
in the=20
bunch to linux.

When I propose to the suits which OS would be best for the new mail
server or an=20
alternative to the NT desktop, I stick to the facts.  I talk up the
advantages of=20
linux such as the stability, cost, ease of customization, ability to
diagnose and=20
repair problems on the fly without a reboot.  I do this with a straight
face and=20
with facts because in that setting those things will get me much farther
than name=20
calling and derision of NT or the people who brought it into the company
in the first=20
place.=20

All of the advantages I mention are real and substantive.  One serious
problem I have to=20
overcome in that setting is the "image" that linux has been saddled
with.  I have
to address questions about a "hackers toy" or "Its freeware who do we
hold responsible
if it blows up?". =20

It may seem silly to many of you but to those with the checkbooks these
are serious concerns.
We in the unix admin group recently won a round over those concerns and
will be installing
linux on an old server to use for some assorted tasks and will also be
adding a few linux=20
desktops.  Once we have it in the door and performing I believe the
battle is won.  We will be=20
able to illustrate its advantages and interoperability rather than talk
about them.

If not for the perceptions created by some of the very things mentioned
by Karsten in his posts
we would have won this battle long ago.

The point is consider your audience.  If you have a serious point to
make you will have a lot=20
more luck doing so in a professional manner.  When you are preaching to
the chior the language=20
is much less important.

vern it isn't always just a simple choice.  I want to use the best tool
for the job.  I believe
that in many cases that tool is linux.  Persuading the suits is part of
the job, unfortunately=20
the hard part.  It doesn't have to be that way.

Asbestos donned and ready,
Allen

Removing a tar.gz?

The only pointer I can think of in this regard, is if the tar.gz was for a
program that required compilation of source.  (This is probably obvious, but I
will state it anyway.)  A 'make install' will generally put the programs where
you need them, and a 'make deinstall' or sometimes a 'make clean' will remove
them.

Does anyone know what the present status is for DVD support in Linux?  I am
referring more to being able to read them at their full capacity, not merely =
as
a CD (650M limitation).

Also, concurrent with this, does anyone know of any MPEG-2 players/viewers for
Linux?

Last nite I dld leafnode as a local news server, configured compiled
nicely.I followed the install and readme to the letter everything seemed
fine...

Now when I fetchmail from my user account I get an error
"SMTP connect to Serina.dizzy73 failed: Connection refused"
"Fetchmail: SMTP transaction error while fetching from connix.com"

It will show messages on the server but refuse to fetch them
    Ive went thru rc.config   /etc/hosts  /etc/resolv.conf and
everything looks fine I dont understand it!
I establish a internet connection  ping and can http to anywhere. I can
also sendmail out no problem.
My mail address looks like dizzy73(a)dizzy73@connix.com
I've looked at all the files and cant seem to find where the error
is...?
Any ideas?

Also, leafnodes fetch is "unable to open lockfile: No such file or d$"
and it ends with a "connection refused"
Any help to get me going with this would be appreciated
thanks
rob

#1:  OK, let's start with first cases. Where did you download the tar.gz=20
file to? I didn't move the *old* linux source code (linux-2.0.36) into a=20
"/usr/src/linux" directory (that wasn't the impression I had from the=20
McKinney outline).  Besides, isn't 2.0.36 already *in* the=20
/usr/src/linux-2.0.36 directory?  Why bother moving it to a=20
/usr/src/linux directory?

#2:  I used tar zxpvf linux-2.2.3.tar.gz I don't recall where it moved the=20
file the first time.  Again, my question is, where are you when you type=20
"tar zxpvf", etc., and where was your 2.2.4.tar.gz file located when you=20
issued the command?

#3:  When I did a cd linux (from root) I didn't get anywhere (as I
described=20
in my earlier message).  I was thinking that setting the link meant that=20
wherever you were, if you typed "linux" (or /linux, maybe), it would take=20
you to the linked directory.  Looks like that isn't correct?  So let's=20
assume then that you do cd linux from within /usr/src.  OK.  I'm
comfortable
with that.

#4:  I was following the McKinney instruction to make xconfig, but that=20
didn't do anything.  A man config search turned up several options,=20
including make oldconfig!.  So I did that (I figure, why throw away my=20
old configuration work, although I realized that there are some important=20
differences between 2.0.36 and 2.2.x kernels that may make this not a=20
good idea).  The second time I just did make config, and got the whole=20
ball of wax of configuration choices.  It reminded me of installing 5.3!
I'm ready to do it again, although I sometimes wonder why...

I'll do the RPM search thing, but apparently just typing "RPM -U name-of-
RPM doesn't actually install the new files.  At least as far as I can=20
tell.  But what's a simple way of finding out which version of any
program, like Samba or the DHCPclient, a person has?  I read this=20
list regularly (even though it generates a lot of activity!) and I=20
have searched the archive from time-to-time, just to find out these=20
sorts of things. =20

And what more *do* I have to do to ensure that all of those security=20
updates I downloaded in the form of RPM's actually *do* get installed?
=20

Michael Perry said:

I just did the 2.0.36 to 2.2.4 move.  HEre is what I did.  I went to
the /usr/src directory and did mv /usr/src/linux /usr/src/linux2036.=20
This creates a directory for my old kernel sources to live in.  I then
read the kernel howto and untarred the linux tar.gz sources with the
command, "tar zxpvf linux2.2.4.tar.gz" and it moves the new sources into
their home in linux.  Now if you do a cd linux you are in the 2.2.4
sources tree.  While in /usr/src/linux, do a make menuconfig and look at
the topmost line of the program and it will say what kernel its
compiling against.

As far as finding exactly what you have with rpm files, try using the
rpm -q command against a filename like rpm -q gtk.  Dont include the
entire rpm name; just the major name.  If you have a file and you are
unsure what version it belongs to try using the rpm -qf filename.  IT
will return what rpm the file belongs to.  This is useful when you have
a version of something you are  unsure of and whether that version
belongs to the most current rpm or whatever.

Hope this helps.

Start scripts at boot time are invoked via links in
/sbin/init.d/rcX.d,
where X in the runlevel. All links SXX.* point to start scripts, KXX.*
point to kill scripts. The Order of execution depends on the number=20
referenced XX.

So, write your script, and make a link. You can fully controll the
order
as it's you who chooses the number.

You may want to get the Win95 bionary from the bzip2 homepage:

There are also precompiled binaries for several other OSes.

Dan,
In addition to what Stephan said you may want to su to root and "chmod
a+xs /usr/sbin/pppd"
Every time you run YaST it uses the /etc/permissions file setting to
reset pppd.  Change the setting in pppd so YaST won't reset it every
time you run YaST.

Well I haven't read the article yet but from your description and the quote=20

My response would be that basically he's right.  There are many, many
application areas that are well represented in the M$ world which we just
don't have.  Yet.  But that is changing rapidly.  The KDE and GNOME
projects in particular are addressing many of those shortcomings, and they
are not the only ones.  There are a bunch of promising projects in beta
right now that will be professional grade packages when they're finished.
A year from now Mr. Hewson will have to look a lot harder to find things to
pick at.

In addition to what Zentara said,
Tarballs usually don't update config files either, nor do they
automatically install environmental variables.  Usually, when you
install, everything goes into one directory except for the executable
and library files.  You can use MC to browse a tarball before installing
to see what needs to be done and where things are going, and also to see
where things were put and what you need to do to uninstall.  Despite
this, I prefer tarballs over rpm because I have more control.

Do we *really* want a port of Microsoft Word on Linux? And whose brilliant
idea was it to equip a word processor with macro capabilities like this?

mmm.... I must be delusional.  I haven't booted my Win95 side in months
(When SuSE 6.1 with the 2.2.x kernel comes out I will reclaim that space
for Linux) so how am I keeping my checkbook balanced and reconciled?=20
Must be a phantom copy of cbb.  I do my symbolic math with MuPAD 3.4
instead of MathCad 7.0 but I must be dilusional there also.  My scanner
scans perfectly well using Sane-1.0, which is called out of GIMP-1.0 and
my other graphics programs, to say nothing of Blender-1.37 and Varkon,
but I must be imagining things. I think I'm enjoying air combat
simulation with ACM 5.0, which is much better than M$ Flight Sim.  I'm
not into music but I do know there are some fantasic sound and sound
analysis programs.
To sum up, has this guy done any serious searching?

Dear all,

I have read that the passwords for windows 98 are sent encrypted.

Has some setup samba in a way that you still can connect from windows98.
Without changing the windows 98 registry. If it's via adding ssl in the
samba distribution. Can you please tell me how it's done. And how samba
needs to set up so it uses the ssl encryption?

Thank you very much.

Regards,

Joop Boonen.

Hi,

    One more other thing I wanted to mention about my attempts to go from
kernel 2.0.36 in SuSE 6.0 to kernel 2.2.3 (which is the most recent one I've
seen on the SuSE site), is that everyone talks about mv /usr/src/linux.

    Guess what?  I don't *have* a /usr/src/linux directory.  Was one
supposed to have been created when I installed SuSE 6.0?  Should I install
one now, or can I leave my 2.0.36 stuff where it is (in a directory called
linux-2.0.36.SuSE)?

    It seemed to me totally reasonable that 2.0.36 is in its own directory,
and 2.2.0, 2.2.1...2.2.4 would each be in its own directory, and you'd just
use a symbolic link to get to whatever version of the kernel you wanted to
use.  So am I missing something?

Here are a couple of examples that we may have to wait a long time for in the
Linux world:

1. Access to AOL
2. An income tax program like TurboTax that's fully updated every year - not
just the Top Ten forms but the whole mess of them.

I suppose people can answer "Well, I don't care about that", but much of the
home computing world does care quite a bit.  That's the nut that's
particularly difficult for Linux to crack - and I like Linux as much as anyone
here.

When you unpack a kernel tgz package in /usr/src , a couple
of different things can happen depending on where you
got the kernel. If you got it off of a suse site, it will usually
install it in a /usr/src/linux.2.2.3 directory. Whearas if you get
a standard kernel distribution, it will put it in /usr/src/linux.
If you get it in a numbered directory, then you need to make the
link /usr/src/linux  to point to the kernel you want to use.
One of them should be assigned to be the current linux source.

Midnight Commander comes in real handy for seeing how all this works.
You can just delete off mistakes in unpacking with a couple of
keystrokes.

I believe it has to be cd /linux, don't forget the /  :-)

You might running into the problem of irqs switching around
for /dev/lp0 and /dev/lp1 in the new kernel.

Try a=20
cat textfile > /dev/lp0
or=20
cat textfile > /dev/lp1

and see which one gives output. The newer
kernel likes /dev/lp0 on irq7 and your soundcard
may be on this irq, and messing up the printer.
It is best to put your soundcard on irq5 for the
new kernel, that is changed in isapnp.conf and in
conf.modules.

Yeah, after reading that link about the Melissa macro virus,
there was a statement that they were setting up a couple
of sites where you could log into with your computer and
be "scanned for free".=20

My paranoid mind makes me wonder......hmmmm....set up
a situation where people will flock to sites to have
their computers scanned for free.....hmmmmm......
who could be behind this.............????
hmmmmm......

You know what I'm thinking.

I would just like an e-mail program like PMmail or Eudora that did not
require tons of extra dependencies that don't come with most distros.
I like netscape an all, but I would really like to see a GUI pop3 client
that I could get..if an of you have any suggestions ..pass them along
this way :)

Well, as most all Unix mail clients suck in some ways, I have tried most all
GUI clients out now, and I am using Ishmail for the most part.
Netscape or XFMail seems to be one that new Linux use, mutt and tkrat are for=
 more
seasoned users, and pine, xmh or even elm for *older* users.:)

I have upgraded to 6.0 with moderate success but have a few problems.  The mo=
st
immediate and annoying one is that Netscape Messenger (4.50) has stopped
working with the IMAP server my work email uses.  It seems to log on to the
server ok, says it is checking folders, etc., butit never gets beyond the
'opening folder' message.  There is no error message, but no mail either!  I
can access the server fine from Windows Netscape (but don't want to!) and also
from the Staroffice mailer though I much prefer the Netscape mailer if it
works.  Thanks for any suggetsions

Is it along the lines of ...

"Dear Mr. Joe Q Public
        A recent scan for the Melissa macro virus on your computer revealed
that you were not infected.  However, we noticed that you have a copy of
Word that is not registered.... accusations of pirating... law suit
threats...blah blah blah... threats of imprisonment... blah blah blah
...requests for triple damages... blah blah blah....
Sincerely,
Imma Lizard, Esq.
Legal Counsel for Microsoft"

is this what you mean?

Last fall I read of an account of a man who was sued by Microsoft after
he called their help line.   Microsoft claimed that the software he was
using was registered to someone else.  He faxed photocopies of his bill
of sale and other proofs of ownership but M$'s legal eagel refused to
listen.  It finally was discovered that M$ had used the same reg. number
for several thousand copies of the product which, if I remember right,
was Excel.

I get the distinct impression that M$ is coming apart at the seams the
same way the USSR did, for exactly the same reasons.  The company is too
big for a single dictator to run everthing and stay on top of things.

Go into smb.conf and remove the #'s from the password encrypt lines (there's
two of them together).  You have to install the passwords though.  Read the
referenced doc's in smb.conf to perform the password install.

Hello:

I have a problem where my ethernet card (i.e. eth0) suddenly keeps
dropping or resetting itself after a few hours?  I'm sort of new to this
but I figured this snippet of log info would be helpful for the experience
in this forum.  Could someone shed some light on what is happening and
what I can do to correct it?  Every few hours I notice that my IFCONFIG
readout hasn't anything for eth0 AND that my route info hasn't an entry
for my dynamic IP from my ISP.  Just for your info, if I turn off my
machine for a day or less, my IP is always the same (i.e. 216.160.73.69).
Could there be something I can change to prevent this or delay the reset?

(NOTE:  I may be using the wrong term; seems like a reset to me)

Thanks everyone.  Yes, I'm a newbie.  Using SuSE 6.0

Thanks

> laters,

I have used a variety of programs including eudora and pmmail.  I didnt
really care for the later versions of eudora because of some severe
problems I had with it and NT 4. Pmmail was okay; but hands down my
favorite in the win9x world is a little one called The_Bat.  It does not
do html message reading but thats okay.  On this side, I really prefer
tkrat but tkrat has some issues with SuSE 6 and some sort of tcl/tk
problem.  I have a work around that allows me to use tkrat 1.2.  Others
I have tried and dropped include xfmail, balsa, xcfmail, and arrow.=20
None of them seem to approach tkrat in terms of use.  I have also used
ishmail which is a commercial program.  I like the ability with tkrat
to use both virtual folders, saved expressions, and have a lot of
freedom with setup and use.  Another good one, not gui, is mutt.  I
believe that mutt probably offers the most bang for the bark :)
It just does stuff like message threading, it handles email lists
differently, it has a such a variety of configuration options that I
never get tired of experimenting, and it seems able to adapt to most
situations.  That said, I still think that tkrat is the best.  It just
has the stuff I like for an email client.

Ben,

I really like kmail for pop3.  Comes with KDE.  I don't use it much cause I
use IMAP4.  Ok, so I'm spoiled.

I am wondering what we will get out of Mozilla.org.  I really don't have
time to play with that stuff much.  I wish they would put out a beta that
is integrated so I can get a feel for what is really available.

This _is_ the solution if the driver was compiled into the kernel.
If it were not, he hadn't got the error message.

I believe this is the serial-driver. If you look in /etc/conf.modules you
will find a line which looks like:
alias char-major-4 serial

if you change to
alias char-major-4 off
instead (in other words, change "serial" into "off"), that message should
go away.

This is probably not the solution if you do want to use your serial-port,
though..

Ted,

Win32 is easier to use and integrate, at least until you get way down in
the
weeds.  I like to tinker, so I don't mind staying up all night trying to
figure out how to get samba to show my Linux box in the browse list.=20
The
bad thing about Win32 stuff is that when things go wrong you find
yourself
so far removed from the guts of the system that it can be impossible to
troubleshoot.

Don't get me wrong, I love Linux.  It is not so much that I find it
currently improves my overall productivity.  In the short run it
probably
hinders me.  In the long run, I believe I am at the cutting edge of IT,
and
in the next five years the skills I am learning now will be in high
demand.
I'm not sure of all the ramifications, but Linux, and OSS in general,
are
going have an effect on the world economy.  Currently MS is the most
valuable company in the world.  If you look at this list [
http://www.kernel.org/mirrors/> ] you will realize, for be=
tter or worse,
Linux is on fire and will spread.

I believe Linux is a net positive in that it is a world-wide cooperative
effort.  It shows what can happen when we share our efforts openly. I
don't
like Linux because it is free.  When I count the hours I spend trying to
get
things to work with Linux and multiply by my hourly wage, Linux is
rather
expensive.  I like Linux because it is freedom.

The thing that Linux sorely needs is better and simpler integration.=20
Take
for example what it requires in NT to set up a domain and add systems
and
printers.  It's all point and click.  Then look at the smb.conf man
page.
140 pages of propeller head prose.  For a moderately intelligent
sysadmin,
NT is a tractable integration challenge.  Samba is certainly extremely
powerful, but configuring it is a B****.

When it comes to the general acceptance of Linux in the mainstream there
are
three things that matter:

User Interface,
User Interface,
and User Interface!

And these apply mostly to administrative tasks.

IMHO,

Steve

Hello,

I recently bought SuSE 6.0. I decided to upgrade to kernel 2.2.4. Anyway
to cut to the point.....  The kernel upgrade went fine, and everything
works great except......

My modem is on COM 3 and IRQ 10, UART 16550 (all is set correctly via
setserial at boot time). I can use the modem and it works fine. However
when I try to connect to my ISP via PPP I get a LCP: Config-Request
timeout. I did not have this problem before the upgrade. I went ahead
and upgraded to the new pppd, but it did not fix the problem    :-(

And PPP support is built into the kernel, and it inits ok at boot time.

Any help or suggestions would be great. I am wondering if maybe the new
kernel changes some of the /dev/ settings and it is making the modem not
connect. But like I said, I can use minicom to dialout.

Thanks,
Ryan Kelley

Thank you all so much for helping me... I was indeed able to connect
myself to the ISP using all the advices you gave me. Unfortunately it
isn't everything set up - since I can connect only to 9800 bps (with a
modem of 33.6 kbs) and when I try to access any site, including ISP's I
get a mesage telling me "host not found". I'm sure I still have to tweak
around - and also try to use some other programs you recommended to me,
but, like always, any guidance would be great.

Thank you again,
Dan

Sound like your serial port is not being initialized properly.  What I did
was edit /sbin/init.d/serial and add a line like this:

 ${SETSERIAL} /dev/cua2 uart 16550A port 0x3E8 irq 4 spd_vhi

There may be a way to do that with yast, but I did it "the hard way."
Man setserial for details.  You might also check the init string for your
modem.  The modem manual should give the relevant settings.

> and when I try to access any site, including ISP's I

You have to tell your computer how to find your ISP's nameservers.  The
file /etc/resolv.conf should have one or more lines like

nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

where xxx... is the IP address of the nameserver.  There is a menu item in
yast to enter those addresses.  Under system administration, I think.

and quit. Since I'm no expert at this, can someone tell me where I fault? Is
there any way to fix it or I need to install all the files manually? It
would be quite boring.
 Thanks,
    Mano :)

Have you tried...
    a) to change the connection speed in Kppp to 115something? I had the
same problem, and it connected at 9600 when set up at 56000, and it connects
at 33600 with 115000... don't know why...
    b)maybe you need to specify your DNS address in the kppp account setup?
Or it is wrong?
    Best regards,

I am quite new to Linux, but bought the package and dug in deep.

I think I have mastered quite a lot in the last three weeks, trying out a
lot of possibillities the SuSE distribution has to offer.

There are two things that bother me though.

I have installed it all on a partition on my laptop, and it all works like a
charm. But I can not reboot "cleanly" from Linux to Win98 vv.

Thanks for the support. Though, I don't have a /etc/resolv.conf file.
Should I create one or is there an alternative?

Every time I reboot my system my printer resumes printing a postscript
file as ascii text Ie., a bunch of meaningless characters.  /var/spool
looks like this:

bash-2.02#

I don't understand printing to save my life.  I need to get this fixed.
What do I do?

TIA,

I have been having problems with Netscap 4.51 on my SuSE 6.0 box.  When
I try to print I get an error telling me that it can't open libc.so.5.
when I ldconfig -v I see:

libc.so.5 =3D> libc.so.5.4.46

and:

find / -name libc.so.5.4.46
/usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib/libc.so.5.4.46

I believe others have asked this questions like this.  I looked at the
archives, but didn't see a discussion of this.  It was my understanding
that libc.so.5 stuff should run on SuSE 6.0.  What gives here?

I'm in the process of configuring sound and i'm finding it to be a pain. I
have used redHat in the past and sound configuring with it was a breeze
using sndConfig but with SuSE how is it done.
Yes I've run pnpdump and my card functions are being enabled on startup and
Yes i have compiled my kernel to use sound modules (as well as compiling and
installing the said modules).
Now where do i go from here. I've heard about some people configuring via
KDE but i want to avoid that as i'm gonna be switching to
Gnome/Enlightenment (As soon as i can get enlightenment working from it's
present blank state).

Any help would be appreciated. I'm using a Soundblaster SB16, SB Pro
compatible card with a MPU-401interface and a game port.

Help!!!

I think kmail doesn't require you to have anything other than the relevant
bits of Qt....?  Apparently the newer versions are quite good - I myself
prefer pine, as there is *nothing* faster to load up!  I had so many
problems with Pegasus mail I eventually gave up on it.

:Well, as most all Unix mail clients suck in some ways, I have tried most

:Netscape or XFMail seems to be one that new Linux use, mutt and tkrat are
for more

here are the scripts that work on my machine
note this is for using suseppp as in
/etc/suseppp/scripts/ppp-up generic
also recall you should be using tail -f /var/log/messages to show where the
error is taking place

Option using yast & SuSE ppp

2) use the command /etc/suseppp/scripts/ppp-up generic
however using this youll posibly need to adjust your
/etc/suseppp/generic.options
file something like this
/dev/modem change to /dev/ttyS? where ? is the # of the modem

below are scripts that worked for me using a PAP (password authentication
protocol)
/etc/suseppp/generic.options

Is there any way that I can set setserial up to automatically assign
/dev/modem and /dev/ttyS1 UARTs of 16550A on startup?  I have to input it
manually for some bizarre reason, and YaST doesn't change a thing.  Thank

I determined the problem with my failing smtp connection was is
/etc/inetd.conf
seems the line with mail got commented out, although I dont know how....
Neverthe less its working fine now
Also my leafnode is working perfectly!! I came across this most
excellent site that ironed out the problems I was having, followed to
the letter and wallah!!
http://h2o.hansol.co.kr/l=

this is an excellent how to for leafnode.
The leafnode supplies news to my lan ----its a beautifull thing!

Do you have TCP/IP support enabled in your kernel?

one is for tcp/ip and the other is ppp. Both must
be enabled. It's the only thing I can think of.

In yast , under system administration, there is an entry for
"nameserver" and "searchlist" . Fill those in with
your isp's name and dns numbers. Separate the numbers with a space.
Yast will create resolv.conf for you.

that version uses glibc2

You may also need to get stdlibc++2.8 to satisfy an ldd of it.
There is an rpm for it on suse's ftp site.

You need to put entries in /etc/conf.modules for sound to work.
Try something like this:

alias char-major-14     =20
sound                                                =20
alias sound             =20
sb                                                   =20
alias midi                opl3
options opl3              io=3D0x388 =20
options sb  io=3D0x220 irq=3D5  dma=3D1 dma16=3D5
mpu_io=3D0x330                         =20

There is info for how to do this in /usr/src/linux/documentation/sound

Hi,

I am having some problems getting a ITK ISDN internal board to work with the =

After the system runs /sbin/init.d/i4l it gives the following messages:=20

        isdn_net: interface ippp1 already exists

and after this:

In fact i checked and it does not. Can anyone give me some help ?

Hi,

This is a libc/glibc issue.  I have a comipler that uses libc to link
against.  I was running it under 5.0 thru 5.3 SuSE.  I installed SuSE
6.0 and now it doesn't work.

The file the linker is looking for is crtbeginS.o, it is in the glibc
distribution.  Is it possible to install the development environment
including the libc5 files along side the glibc files???

Thanks for any help

Lach

I'd like to know how much the prices of the PII's dropped in the US
since Intel introduced the PIII. Here in the Netherlands a PII 450 goes
for around $650 (more or less). Also, doe anyone know what kind of
price-drop we can expect the coming month(s)? I know this is a bit
off-topic but I'm just curious.

no smb in "/usr/sbin" (where mandrake had them). "locate smb" shows=20

Hi Steven,

try to delete the print job with "lprm". Since the job is not printed to
your machines satisfaction (a proper end) it realy wants to give the
printout unless to tell it that you do not want it anymore.

1st:
switch off your printer to save the canadian rain forrest.

2nd:
try lpq -P ("lpq" if it=C5=BDs lp, the standard)

you=C5=BDll see a job number listed for the "offending" job(s)

3rd:
get your shotgun: lprm -P Jobnumber. ("lprm jobnumber" for
lp)

enjoy peace, turn the printer back on.

Juergen

You can put commands to be executed at boot time in:

        /sbin/init.d/boot.local

and also when you are shutting down in:

Actually, the thing that RedHat and SuSE do that is beneficial to the Linux=20
community is to put a price tag on an otherwise free entity.  This is an odd,=
=20
but realistic first step to Linux competing with Microsoft.  The price-versus-
offerings difference between a commercial Linux dist and anything you can get=
=20
from Microsoft speaks volumes.

In many businesses, things cannot be purchased that do not have a price tag. =
=20
This is because if it is downloaded for free, it cannot be called an asset.  =

($0 entries in the books are not acceptable from an accountants perspective.)=
 =20
Without being listed as an asset, it cannot be "replaced" through insurance i=
f=20
a disaster type situation arises -- a company would rely on 2 lists -- the=20
asset list, and the freeware list. =20

It all boils down to a few points:  Price (and with large companies, it needs=
=20
to have one...), support, and recognizable software vendor support (such as=20
Corel, Network Associates, some of the database vendors, etc.)  And not=20
ironically, these are the things argued against Linux right now.

My favourite thing about Linux:  If you must pay for your OS, you can.  If yo=
u=20
cannot afford to, that's okay too.  In any case, it boots up faster on a 486 =

than WinNT does on a Pentium, leaving a lot of room for improvement on the=20
things that potential MS converts want to see...

Oblig flame-retardant statement:  I did NOT say *everyone*... I said "many=20
businesses" and "most corporations".  And I did not say that this was "perfec=
t"=20
or that this was the only reason why there should be commercial Linuxes.  I=20
certainly do recognize that every corporation has different needs, and my=20
opinions are based solely on the companies I have consulted for over the past=
=20
11 years.  I hope I covered all that is flamable...

This is exactly what I meant.  People who would not normally consider Linux=20

Linuxies in Microsoft forums supporting this view.

You don't win people over by treating them like morons.  And in this case, th=

is a much higher number of these "morons" than there are Linuxies.

For those who will now rant that Linux is now available pre-installed on XX-

Linux has a *long* way to go before it is in a real battle with MS.  I am sur=

we'll get there, but we're not there yet.  Microsoft's fight has remained ver=

Ok, I patched to 2.2.5, ran setup and took out SCSI emulation and added
the CMD640 chipset fix support, added the BSD process accounting
support, applied the patch to fix the errors with it, recompiled, ran
lilo, rebooted, ran BIOS setup, set the secondary master to none,
rebooted, and here's what I got:

I will tell my opinion here too.

I've been in the Windows world for years now, but I've never felt
offended by the remarks coming from the Linux world since I've always
had a sympathy for Linux and "open"/"free" software, as defined in the
GPL.
Even though it was, and still is a mystery to me some actions of the
Linux "fans": I will give as an example the protest at the Win98
launching. I felt miserable for those who participated at the protest...
I understand an opposition towards Microsoft. I don't understand an
opposition towards Microsoft products' users. It is the freedom of
choice. We are free to choose Linux, if we feel it suits our needs best.
It is others' choice to choose Ms if they feel they should.
Microsoft indeed has a great marketing department. None stops SuSE or
RedHat from having one too. We should fight with the weapons provided by
ration and logic and not be misled by our feelings. I strongly believe
that offending people who use Ms products is not the way of drawing
their attention to Linux.
If anything, Linux needs enthusiasts and not fanatics.=20
I had a fight with myself until deciding not long ago to finally switch
on Linux. Why was it so difficult? (it took me more than an year to
decide, while I tried several versions of RedHat - from 4.2 to 5.2)
Because it was (now it's estompating/vanishing) a perception of the
"old" UNIX users: the command line (prompt) is always the best.
Remember, please that GUI is not a Ms invention, but a Rank Xerox one in
early 70'ies and it was developed by Apple. Ms just took something it
was already discovered. And all the UNIX fans said that "graphical
gadgets" that loads the system useless can't be but a bad thing. And I
believe that we must make a difference bewteen increase in productivity
and comfort in use, added to a ease to learn (not all people want/need
to know the inner structure of an operating system) and some graphical
gadgets (that Windows I admit has).=20
Right now Linux I think is ready to go in the front line - the KDE
graphical environment is the first one I like more than Windows
interface. And in plus, Linux has the enormous advantage of letting
anyone interested to tweak around as much as he/she desires, unlike
Windows. And again, in plus, it has all the advantages of the UNIX OS
inheritance, with all the stability, reliability and performance that
comes from here.
All that still needs to be changed is our attitude. The "save the
whales"/"greenpeace" attitude, with fanatic actions, a reminiscence of
the times when Linux didn't have a chance against commercial OS's (like
Windows) MUST be changed with a more rational, logical and deep
attitude. We must replace the desperation of the losers (please remember
the protests i mentioned about in the beginning) with the calm
and serenity of the winners.

Thank you for taking the time of reading my opinion.
Dan

Hi,

Sorry, it is off topic...
I bought a Diamond Viper v550 videocard with 16M SDRAM (PCI).
It works great in linux (with SVGA sever) and in MS Windows.
However, glquake does not run well --> I get very-very dark image.
I tried it under Windows only, but assume to see the same in linux.
The quake's built-in brightness control does not affect the brightness at
all. On the other hand it renders 50 fps @ 640x480 on my PPro 150 in
quake 1 (that stunned me).
It works OK but slow with plain (svgalib) quake 1 (27 fps @ 320x240).
But that is not why I bought the card!

Does anybody know a solution to this brightness problem?

I hoped to jump over problems like this by installing the binary, but
that doesn't seem to make thangs easier than installing from the sources...

Hi,

I currently run suse 5.3 off a 11.5 G drive but boot off lilo on a 2.2G
drive running a different version of 5.3 as well. It runs perfectly OK.

Now I bought suse 6.0 and want to upgrade the machine. When I try using
the install disk it hangs after seeing the 11.5 G drive.
Here's what is says :

...
..
hdb Maxtor
..
..
hdb:hdb: dma_intr: status=3D0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest
Error}
hdb: dma_intr: error=3D0x04 { DriveStatus Error}

And here's where it hangs.

This used to happen with the 5.3 boot as well but I was able to get
through this when I booted from the fullblown kernel from the
hard-drive.

What is the difference between the one that's on the floppy and the one
eventually installed from it on the hard drive.

Any help appreciated.

-Deep

AFAIK 'they' have not published the DVD-standard.

So the support for DVD is not much.

Yes, go to /etc/rc.d/serial and using your favorite editor change the
appropriate line under "manual configuration".  Worked for me.

Thank

I had to do this too. All you have to do is go into the /sbin/init.d/
directory. And add your setserial line at the end of the=20
'boot.local'    file. Something like "setserial /dev/modem UART 16550A"

(which YaST should have done for you) then it will automagically change
/dev/ttyS1 to these UARTs as well.

PS) Anyone care to try and answer my previous question 'Connecting VIA
PPP'    -- I have had zero answers   :-(

Here is my question:

I recently bought SuSE 6.0. I decided to upgrade to kernel 2.2.4. Anyway
to cut to the point.....  The kernel upgrade went fine, and everything
works great except......

My modem is on COM 3 and IRQ 10, UART 16550 (all is set correctly via
setserial at boot time). I can use the modem and it works fine. However
when I try to connect to my ISP via PPP I get a LCP: Config-Request
timeout. I did not have this problem before the upgrade. I went ahead
and upgraded to the new pppd, but it did not fix the problem    :-(

And PPP support is built into the kernel, and it inits ok at boot time.

Any help or suggestions would be great. I am wondering if maybe the new
kernel changes some of the /dev/ settings and it is making the modem not
connect. But like I said, I can use minicom to dialout.

Vern,

First of all something that doesn't have to do with Linux (sorry
everyone).
I didn't mean at all that Greenpeace doesn't have a point... since you
brought it up, yes, I don't understand sometimes their actions, seeing
them rather poetic/ dramatic/ symbolic (like chaining yourself to a gate
or a railroad to prevent a nuclear plant to open, or a nuclear waste
transport to take place). Even though, the fact that I don't understand
such actions does not mean that they aren't justified - it is me, not
them. I am truly convinced that the world would be now a much worse
place to live in if it weren't for them and people like you to fight for
a belief.=20

As for the subject in cause, don't let me think that Linux has a
philosophy of its own and who doesn't want to accept it, it's their
problem (with direct reference to Ms products' users)... please. It is
an open place where who wants to come I believe is welcomed. And from
this wonderful mixture (don't you like the expression "heterogeneous
perfect"?) resulted and will result something that can transform from
now on radically the way people will see computers and software
generally.
I wish to become more and more famous... not necessarily the OS we're
using right now, but the concept of "free software". Imagine a world
where free software is as widely spread as it is Windows today...

Vern, all of you, please let me believe that Linux was created from love
towards free software, freedom of mind and freedom of choice and NOT
from hate towards Microsoft or Bill Gates.

To finish, if you or anyone else felt offended by any of my words, I ask
you to accept my apologies - it wasn't at all in my intent to do so.

Thank you.
Dan

If you can access a copy of "The Windows Resource Kit" book (paperback)
then look up A20 in the index.
The A20 is a technical reference to the line on the CPU that allows
access to extended memory, and helps memory managers run properly.  The
[386enh] section of  System.ini contains a setting, A20EnableCount,
which is assigned a value=20
A20EnableCount=3Dn
where n is a number in the range of 1 to 8.

You might try adding the following lines to Himem.sys
        WIN /D:XSV
        X=3DEMMExclude=3DA000-Efff
        S=3DSystemROMBreakpoint=3DOFF
        V=3DVirtualHDIRQ=3DOFF
If Windows starts up then you have IRQ and Address conflicts.

I forgot another solution....
You can add the following line to Config.sys.
        device=3D/himem.sys /m:n
where n is
1 for at or 100% IMB AT compatible
2 for IBM PS/2
3 for Phoenix Cascade BIOS
4 for HP Vectra (A and A+)
5 for AT&T machines
6 for Acer 1100 machines
7 for Toshiba pcs
8 for wyse machines

These settings are old.  experiment and see if one works, especially
number 3.

Except on SuSE you would want to edit /etc/rc.config instead!  ;-)

I hope I'm not muddying the waters here, but I remember reading=20

There are several links to Compaq Presario pages; although I=20
didn't see the 1805, another model may be similar enough.
I doubt that this problem is SuSE specific.

What does you ppp-options file contain? I'm always running the latest
kernel (which is 2.2.5 at the moment) and I never had any problems.

But from what I've seen from other people. One of the most common
reasons for pppd failing are unnecessary (that is, sometimes bad) pppd=20
options.

Even if you haven't changed them, we should have a look at them.

Well the one on the floppy boots, because the image can be found,
wheras the kernel on the hard drive is failing probably because
lilo can't find it, or in your case the hard drive isn't=20
being properly found.

It sounds like you may have the "no-autotune ide" problem,
but I'm not sure. You may just have the 1024 cylinder problem.

Send more info, like which drive is /dev/hda. /dev/hdb, etc.

Hello,

I recently bought SuSE 6.0. I decided to upgrade to kernel 2.2.4. Anyway
to cut to the point.....  The kernel upgrade went fine, and everything
works great except......

My modem is on COM 3 and IRQ 10, UART 16550 (all is set correctly via
setserial at boot time). I can use the modem and it works fine. However
when I try to connect to my ISP via PPP I get a LCP: Config-Request
timeout. I did not have this problem before the upgrade. I went ahead
and upgraded to the new pppd, but it did not fix the problem    :-(

And PPP support is built into the kernel, and it inits ok at boot time.

Any help or suggestions would be great. I am wondering if maybe the new
kernel changes some of the /dev/ settings and it is making the modem not
connect. But like I said, I can use minicom to dialout.

P.S.  Going to Windows to check email or use the web is not fun....
P.P.S	Going to Windows at ALL is not fun....

Any Help is greatly appreciated.

Install the Nvidia Detonator drivers.  They have the necessary gamma
controls.  I haven't personally experienced any problems with out-of-the box
settings.

Until there is some sort of OpenGL implementation in the Xfree drivers,
we'll just have to live with slow *nix quake performance.

Hi gang-

I just downloaded the 2.2.4 kernel and cannot seem to get pcmcia
services working on suse 6.  The documentation stuff says I need the
version of pcmcia services which comes with suse.  What do I need to do?

I have a version of pcmcia services at the 3.0 level also that i
downloaded.

thanks for any help.

I have had problems with GNUcash since I was running 5.3 when it came
out. I have never been able to get this program to run right. If anyone
has any ideas or tricks I would love to hear them as well. I have been
using Moneydance for about six months and it preforms well, but I like
the look of GNUcash and I would love to get it to work.

Thanks,

I need to install suse 6 on a machine with a creative labs cdrom. The install
disk does not include the module sbpcd, but has an option to load more modules
at the start of the install process.

Does anyone know how to make a module disk? The manual refers to the modules
section of the manual but does not say anything about how to make the disk.

cheers

Check your /etc/resolv.conf file.  You should see something to
the effect of

domain 
nameserver 

That will be followed by any additional nameservers you have.=20
Most ISPs supply two.
If you don't see that there you can fill it in yourself.

This file is generally filled in by kppp but I am betting
wasn't in your case.  Probably
due to an issue with permissions.  KPPP likes to run setuid
and cannot write to the=20
/etc/resolv.conf without permission to do so.

Sounds as if you have already discovered the next thing I'll
mention but just in case:
Edit the file /etc/ppp/options to remove the line containing
"Lock".
KPPP does its own locking and having the lock there will cause
the connection
to die on you.

Hope that does it.

RPMS help you manage your distribution. Do an rpm -qa | more and look at
all the things you have installed. Could you imagine keeping track of all
that when building from source code? It could become quite tedious, I
think.  It's easy to query and checkout your apps with RPMS on board. It's
a database. I find the RPM system extremely convenient. I only use source
for stuff that I'm testing -- and don't expect to have a long shelf-life
on my system-- like CVS E and GNOME ( which I am building and erasing at a
ridiculous rate ). If you find RPM hard to manage, you might want to check
out some of the literature on the topic like MAXIMUM RPM, man pages, docs
etc. as it is probably a problem stemming more from a lack of familiarity
with the RPM software and how it works than any defficiencies on your part
as a user or flaws in the RPM system.

I'm a fan of RPM. Just not the biggest fan. It could be better-- but even
so, it's pretty good.=20

Greetings SuSE Land,

Just downloaded the new kernel from the uk mirror of kernel.org and
compiled/installed it without a hitch. (US mirror did not have it yet.)

I have a pretty generic setup. busmouse, internal modem, atapi cdrom and
drive, and iomega old zip 100 ppa, and a vibra 16  soundcard, v330
video, AFAIK, everything checks out. On SuSE 6.0

BTW, I did not do any extra symlinks besides ln -s linux-2.2.5 linux.

On a unrelated note: check out cdcd on freshmeat. It's a cool=20
command line audio cdplayer with cddb support...that actually works.
Small download and easy compile install.

Take it easy.

Steve.

Michael,

        Thanks for the tips, but I never really said I didn't know how to use
rpm's. I have been with Linux/Unix since Redhat 3.0.3. and before that I
was a NeXTSTEP for Intel user..I have just opted for source most of the
time and with a lot of software coming in rpm format I just wanted some
opinions. I have used pkgadd under fBSD and Solaris..so it's not a big
deal. Thanks for the help :)

I have an ATAPI EIDE CD-ROM which works fine as /dev/hdd.  Someone
gave me a hard drive and now I'm trying to get the CD to work on the
IDE port of my AWE32 card.  I read the HOWTOs, etc and I think I've
done everything.  The IDE controller shows up in /proc as ide3, the
IRQ shows up as IRQ10-same as the Creative manual calls for.  I also
checked the Windows setup and that's how it's working there (yes it
works in Windows after I moved it to the SB card's IDE port).

I have set up isapnp and put a hdg=3Dcdrom in lilo.conf.  When the
system boots it tries to talk to the drive but gives up after 2 0FF
errors.  Without the hdg=3Dcdrom it ignores it completely.  I have tried
booting Windows first and I have the DOS mscdex stuff in autoexec.
The drive is jumpered as master.

I give up.  What incredibly dumb thing have I done this time?

That sounds quite good!!  Now if someone know whether pcmcia support
for laptops is broken under 2.2.4, I would like to know.  I cannot get
pcmcia support inside 2.2.4 on my dell inspiron 7000 laptop even with
the pcmcia-cs at the right level and build.

Anyone got 2.2.4 compiling with pcmcia support?  What did you do?

If you installed libguile from source instead of rpm, the
rpm program knows nothing about it. Rpm does NOT look around
for the files needed, it simply looks in its database of
stuff installed with the rpm program.

If you are absolutely certain that all the dependencies
are satisfied through source packages, you can tell
rpm to install anyway with the option --nodeps

RPM uses a database to keep track of the files it installed.
So if you have a program in /usr/local/ (installed by source I presume),
RPM knows nothing about it.

You have 2 options:
1 - install the .rpm's for the missing libraries
2 - install gnucash by source.

Option 2 isn't much difficult than 1.

1 - tar xvzf .tar.gz
2 - cd 
3 - ./configure
4 - make
4 - make install

I hit a problem like this a while back (not with enlightenment).  It=20

that a number of script files had turned up as DOS files, i.e. delimited=20

myself on Windows.  Anyway, check the "install-all" script doesn't have=20

case, then I'm baffled too...   :-}

Hello all, yep, I figured we hadn't seen enough ppp/kppp requests for HELP!
 I'm running SuSE 5.3 with an ext. modem on cua1.  Using Kppp I am able to
dial out and make connection to my ISP.  When we go to start ppp, I get a
message "The pppd daemon died unexpectedly".  I have removed the LOCK
statement from the file /etc/ppp/options, I removed the /var/lock/LCK from
the Kppp config.  I had turned OFF Start_Kerneld from the rc.conf file.
The change to the rc.conf file made no change, yes, I ran /sbin/SuSEconfig
before re-trying Kppp.
I am wondering if the kernel, vs. 2.0.35, has to have PPP compiled into it
or will it, PPP, work as a loadable module?  I have checked the loaded
modules using lsmod and don't see the ppp.o module loaded.
How do I determine if the kernel has PPP compiled into it?
Is there something else which I may be overlooking here.  I'm getting
blurry-eyed looking through all the doc's., thank god for all the doc's.!
AH yes, one more piece of info., the modules nkita and nkitb series a were
selected and loaded.
Sure would appreciate ANY suggestions/help.  So close and yet so far
away....So many questions, so little time :)

TIA, Don...

I would know just because I can't understand why my windows98 can do it

Jean Luc,

The FAT-file system does not have any facilities for file permissions
other than 'read only' for everyone. I think the way Linux handles the
file permissions on a FAT volume is by checking the permissions of the
mount point (e.g. /mnt/win) Now, I'm not completely sure, but I think
the way to give the FAT volume 777-permission all over (as said, it is
not possible to do this on a per file basis), you shound chmod the
mount point to 777.

Hi,
this is the translation of the answer to a reader of PCWorld italy, April
1999, who was basically asking them why don't they speak about Linux in
their magazine.

    In the next issue of PCWorld Italy you'll find a review of the major
distributions of Linux and the analisys of the market situation of this
operative system. Our magazine usually deals only with applications and o.s
for desktop systems, so in the near future Linux will have the same coverage
of WinNT, that is only the reporting of the most significant news. (?? They
speak about NT VERY OFTEN)
    Both are very far from being effective for home systems, where the
compatibility with all the available hardware and the availability of
applications in the shops are more important than the cost of the o.s.
itself and than its stability. (?)
    The recent availability of applications which are free for personal use,
such as Corel Wordperfect or StarOffice demonstrates that something's
moving, but the way to go is still long and difficult. The weak point about
linux is that it lacks of a graphical interface compatible, even partially,
with the thousands of base M$'s Win32 APIs, that could make it easier to
port applications from Windows without adding costs.
It's true that without the support of M$ it's difficult to rewrite from
scratch such APIs, but neither building from zero a multiprocessor UNIX was
a simple task, and they've done it.
    The insistence on using different graphic shells that are hard to
configure, based on that old wreck (!) that is the old standard interface of
UNIX, the X/Window, now old-fashioned and forgotten (!!), is only useful in
making them waste precious time, leaving to MicroSoft the control of the
desktop PC's, today and tomorrow.

    Ok, back to me. What strikes me most in this letter is that they seem
not to care about the free applications... it seems that WP8 and StarOffice
are the only ones available, and for gentle concession of some God; you see,
there's no other solution alternetive to the tons of windows software...
maybe this is because they fear a world ruled by free software, also because
who would pay for their ads?
    In addition, that silly thing about APIs... I mean, if Linux wants to be
an alternative to Win, why should they program such apis for free? And are
we actually in need of them? I don't know, but it seems to me that 900f
the problems of stability of Win come from the chaos in its 'thousands of
base APIs'...
    One further word: why should Linus and his pals program such free APIs
to allow the big software houses to make money on them?
    I won't speak of the 'old wreck': I don't think those guys have ever
seen KDE or GNOME at work... Or they're too blind to have registered the
fact.
    If someone will like to reply them, the address is pcworld(a)idg.it ;
please report that yours is a translation. Me, I'll wait until the promised
next month article; if it continues on the same way, I'm prepared to write
the 'Divine Linux Comedy' about it, even if I'd have some reports to them
even now...
    What makes me sad is that in my humble translation maybe that 'What a
childish toy this Linux is' general attitude of this piece has been lost...
sorry, about this, I've never studied at Oxford...

    By the way: happy easter! I'll be in holiday (France, wait for me!) for
the next two weeks... alas! I won't be ablo to read your (eventual)
replies... :(

    Greetings, however!
        mano :)

Germano, I think you need make no apology for your English.  Anyway, it is
much, much better than my Italian.  I hope you will give us a synopsis of
the article when it comes out.  I find it most interesting that they seem
to rate Linux in the same category as NT. =20

 [SuSE Linux] Why modem initialization hangs on "Expecting OK"?

Hello SuSE folks!

I got a strange problem with 2.2.4 and 2.2.5 kernels. When I use kppp
with my old 2.0.36 kernel my USR modem is dialing up and establishing
connection without any problem. When I'm rebooting with the 2.2.4 or
2.2.5 kernel my modem gets initialize and does it infinetely. In the
terminal window I can only see ATZ and Expecting OK. That's it. I tried
to test my modem with minicom. Modem dials connection without a problem,
but after drops connection by itself. I compiled PPP PLIP and SLIP
supports in the both new kernels. I did'n change setting or any
parameter in /etc/rc.config, /etc/resolve.config, /etc/suseppp and so
on. Could somebody please point me on what is a problem? I'm fighting
with it almost a week. Please help me

Thanks

Alex

Thank you all for helping me this days so much. This is the first mail I'm
sending within Linux and it feels great! My PPP connection is up and running!

Besides the "lock" option I had to comment,  I've found out, to my ashame that
I haven't the PPP compiled into the kernel! I was used with Red Hat where this
was done by default. Instead, the guys from SuSE included radio modems in the
kernel, and no PPP. when doing a standard installation. Interesting..

Again, thanx to all those who bothered to answer to my help request messages.

Dan.

Maybe you have problem with the ORDER of the keyword in your .fetchmailrc

Look at man fetchmail for the correct order, there're general user server key=
words that CANNOT be mixed in .fetchmailrc

information regarding using pcmcia services under kernel 2.2.4 and it
only requires that the pcmcia services at 3.07 level be installed and
it instructs how to test for that level by using a command to check.
Kernel 2.2.4 does not offer the kernel compilation switch as in earlier
kernels for pcmcia support whatsoever but states you need to be at the
3.07 release or upgrade the daemon and server.  SuSE 6 has that level
of pcmcia services already. =20

The main question is whether kernel 2.2.4 requires a higher version
level than 3.07 or requires that 3.07 needs to be recompiled under that
particular kernel.  The methods for getting a pcmcia aware kernel is
sufficiently vague in the Documentation/Changes file.

Lenz or anyone, what is base requirement with the 2.2 series to get
pcmcia services working.  I am going from 2.0.36 to 2.2.4 here on a
Dell Inspiron 7000 laptop.

Thanks for your response. I'm sorry my message wasn't clear enough.
The problem *is* with the floppy boot. The lilo boot is OK as my lilo
resides on another smaller, hard drive and points to the image on the
11.5 gig drive.=20

I'm still using this set up as a work around when I initially came
across this problem as my machine is a semi-production type machine.

What's interesting is boot floppies that come with suse hangs right when
it tries to partition check this drive. I've used mulinux  which just
'jumps' over this if I remember correctly there were error messages as
well.=20

This happens only at boot up so something in the image itself must be
different. again not because when I install this stock image it works.

I don't see suse supporting this big drive officially.

OK, so this is probably going to be a dumb question, but here goes anyway.

I have three hard disks.  sda1 and sda2 are the swap and active partitions fo=
r my current (Caldera) installation.  I want to install SuSE 6.0 to:

        sdb1	swap
        sdb2	/
        sdb3	usr
       =20
        sdc1	/home

If I select "install from scratch" option from yast, it allows me to very eas=
ily partition, format, and select the above config, but it sees both sda2 and=
 sdb2 as root partitions.  How do I convince yast that I want it to ignore ev=
erything about sda1 and sda2?  is this not an install from scratch?  What I w=
ant is SuSE booting from sdb2 - presenting both my existing Caldera system an=
d SuSE as Lilo options.  Don't want to do something by accident that invalida=
tes my current system before I make SuSE fully functional.

Also, does anyone have experience installing a Seagate 4/8GB TR4 SCSI Tape Dr=
ive?  I have this installed in SCSI 03, but I don't know how to reference it =
from Linux.

Thanks,

Henry

Hi,

I bought an OSS license from http://www.4front-tech.com/> just =
before the 2.2
kernel was out. I'm on 2.0.36 (SuSE 6.0) right now.
I think the new kernel has extensive support for sound. I'd like to hear from

dumb thing to do to spend 30 US$ on something that is now a built-in.

Hi,

The README file in /usr/src/linux-2.0.36.SuSE mentions checking the
links /usr/include/asm, /usr/include/linux, and /usr/include/scsi.
Checking my fresh SuSE 6.0 install I found that 'asm' and 'linux' where
linked properly, but 'scsi' was not a symlink. There was a directory
there with what appeared to a different header file (sg.h) from the
kernel sources. I moved and set up the symlink for that directory.
Compiled 2.2.5 without problems. I've no problems with my scsi device.

Does anybody have the symlinks set up that way after a fresh install?

By the way, the READMEs for 2.2.4 or 2.2.5 do not mention this issue
about setting the symlinks.

Hello,

Last night I finally had to push the on/off switch to get out
of Linux :(
I had been running xawtv (tv viewer) which had an option to
write and view avi files of what is broadcast. Somehow in using
this program I started several (maybe 7) xanim jobs which were
all zombie. There were also other processes which were zombies,
all told about 35. I got out of KDE and logout of VC1 and found
it would not regenerate the login prompt. Logged in as root to
VC2 and check ps aux. Tried killing the zombies (fruitless to
kill something dead). Logged out VC2 and found it did not=20
regenerate the login. Logged into VC3 and tried "init 1",=20
"teleinit 1" both had no effect in getting into single
user mode. Did "shutdown -r now" and "shutdown -h now" both
of which did not work. Did "sync" and hit the off switch.

Question: What would a non-newbie (I've used Linux for about
          2 years) do to recover without having to reboot. I
          had over 20 days uptime.

System: Running Kernel 2.2.3 along with required rpm updates
        on a RedHat 5.2 system.

PS I know this is not a SuSE question but I'm hoping there is
   someone knowledgeable that can help.

Depends on you sound card. I'm using a SB 16 non-PNP which has always
worked well under Linux both with kernel 2.0.36 and 2.2.3 (better
under the 2.2.x series)

Hi,

after some long months of work I finally
finished to setup a Linux cluster which consists
of one central server, ten number-crunchers and
one diskless x-terminal. All clients get their
operting system from the server at boot up time.
In case somebody plans something similar, he/she
might find under:

http://gen100.imb-jena.de>=20

ome interesting hints, what was changed w.r.t.
the standard SuSE 6.0 distribution in order to
bring the cluster into real production mode. Also
a lot of small and moderate problems, which I
did not manage to fix or where I found work arounds
can be found under that URL.

In the hope, that this information is useful for
others,

Ruben

The Documentation/Changes file says:

If you use pcmcia cards, you'll need to upgrade the daemon and
support utils to the latest release of pcmcia-cs.

Information at www.linuxhq.com on required libraries for  2.2.4
clearly states that pcmcia services at the 3.0.7 levl must be present
to get pcmcia working.  Here is a result of a rpm -q I did on pcmcia:

peedy /usr/src/linux/Documentation: rpm -q pcmcia
pcmcia-3.0.7-1

So what is right and what is wrong here?  The latest pcmcia-cs modules,
daemon and other stuff is now at 3.0.9.

I did hear from someone else that what actually is needed is a upgrade
to 3.0.9 from either sources or rpm which is available at redhat's
update site.  It would be nice if SuSE would upgrade the pcmcia-cs
module so that I could use a suse-based rpm.

The other question since I am here :) is printing.  I read in the
documentation/changes that printing "may" change and you may find that
the printer ports change under 2.2.4.  HAs anyone had problems getting
yast and apsfilter setup correctly?  Did you install the parport device
or just the base level parallel port printing support under the new
kernel configuration?

In general, 'latest' in the kernel sources (here Configure.hgelp) is used
as a synonym for the version mentioned in Documentation/Changes.
However, it will seldom harm to upgrade to the really latest. That's
what I'm doing. I always assume that the latest is the greatest. There
may be bugs fixed :-) and also new ones be introduced :-(. But there
may also be new docs, FAQs HOWTOs etc.

This is extremely helpfull to me. I'm currently setting up a financial
application running a four processor database server (kernel2.2.4, MySQL)
with 6 Application servers (dual processor, kernel 2.2.4) They are connected
through fast ethernet. How did you do do interprocess communications? Pipes;
Sockets; CORBA?

I have some very basic questions about how sound works under Linux that
aren't answered by either of the relevant Howto's.  Perhaps someone here
can help.

First of all, I haven't been able to find a good explanation of the
fundamental model of how sound works, and Section 2 of the Sound Howto
only partially addresses the problem.   One basic question is how
/dev/audio differs from /dev/dsp.  I know from the Howto that /dev/audio
is a
Sun-compatible audio device and that /dev/dsp is a digital sampling
device - but what I don't know is how the behavior of /dev/dsp differs
from that of /dev/audio or how to decide which one to use for a
particular purpose such as recording.

Another question is how /dev/audio and/or /dev/dsp relates to (a) the
inputs available to the sound card, (b) the visible output of the mixer,
and (c) the signal sent by the sound card to the speakers.  I've seen
references to the "recording source" (CD, microphone, line in), but it
wasn't clear whether these are sent to /dev/audio regardless of the
mixer settings.  Also, if the mixer settings do determine what is sent
to /dev/audio, then what is the function of the recording source--since
the mixer can look at all sources at once?  And if /dev/audio receives
the output of a single recording source, how can I access the output of
the mixer?  Does the main mixer volume control affect the volume of the
recorded signal or only the volume of the attached speakers?

A further problem is that the two mixer programs I've looked at,
ossmixer and xmix, have very uninformative man pages.  Looking at the
xmix 2.1 display, I see that each bar has a mouse icon underneath, but
the function of the mouse icon isn't explained.  Also, "Bass", "Treble",
and "Reclvl" are grayed out but it isn't clear why, or precisely what
their functions are.  Ossmixer has a different set of  controls and
doesn't include the "recording source" selector that xmix does.  That
difference in basic functionality is very puzzling.  The icons of
ossmixer are even more mysterious since they aren't labeled.  And
incidentally, what happens when two mixers are active at once?

By the way, I've managed to get sound to play through the speaker (I
have a Creative Labs PCI128 card) and also have done a little recording,
but haven't been able to record from CD so far.   So my problems are not
with the basic setup or kernel configuration but rather with the
intelligent usage of the relevant software.

Any help would be appreciated.

Paul Abrahams

This wouldn't help. Try it and you'll see that the permissions
of the mountpoint aren't visible after mounting:

Before mounting:

[root]/root# ls -ld /mnt/dosc/
drwx------   2 sttr     users        1024 Mar 19 23:47 /mnt/dosc/

And after mounting:

[root]/root# mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt/dosc/
[root]/root# ls -ld /mnt/dosc/
drwxr-xr-x  16 root     root        16384 Jan  1  1970 /mnt/dosc/

Use the umask option like this

[root]/root# mount -o umask=3D000 -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt/dosc/
[root]/root# ls -ld /mnt/dosc/
drwxrwxrwx  16 root     root        16384 Jan  1  1970 /mnt/dosc/

to give read/write/execute permission to everyone.

        Stefan

I'd sugguest to download the source and compile it.

If the printer stuff is compiled into the kernel or as a module,
there should't be any problems. If you wan't modulize printer
support, select the following in the kernel configuration:

General setup  --->
         Parallel port support
            PC-style hardware

Character devices  --->
         Parallel printer support

And add=20

alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
options parport_pc io=3D0x378 irq=3D7

to /etc/conf.modules (of course you have to use the io and irq
of your parallel port). Also make sure that you have kmod
support in your kernel:

Loadable module support  --->
        [*] Enable loadable module support
        [*] Kernel module loader

And when configuring your printer with YaST, keep in mind that
kernel 2.2.x uses /dev/lp0 instead of /dev/lp1.

        Stefan

I just installed the kernal-2.2.4, and everything seems to be working except
that when I shutdown, using shutdown -h now, instead of saying System Halt,
and then shutting off it says: Master Resources Control: Run Level 0 has
been reached.  I do have the APM installed, and the system can and does go
onto suspend but will not shut down.

Goto /usr/src/linux and do a `make menuconfig'. If ppp support
is compiled into the kernel it will be marked with a <*>. If it
has been compiled as a module it will look like ` PPP...'.

Watch out for error messages in /var/log/messages while you try
to connect (do a `tail -f /var/log/messages' before connecting)
and tell us what you've seen.

Are there any error messages in /var/log/messages? Also check
/etc/ppp/options for an `-ipx-protocol'. If it's in there,
remove it.

Hi SuSE-friends,

perhaps someone on this list can comment on the following question of a
friend of mine?

Best regards, Alex Angerhofer.

         To: LINUX-L(a)LISTS.UFL.EDU
   Reply-To: Platform Independent Linux List! 
Return-Path: 

I'm going to be setting up 3 Linux servers.  I'm going to be buying
them as part of an order from Gateway.  I'm curious to know what
kind of experiences people have had on campus running Linux on
Gateway computers and if the systems I'm look at will support
Linux.  The systems will be run 24/7 and depended upon for mission
critical applications (determining cancer treatments for children
and for the collection of the subsequent research data). It is
imperative that the systems are *absolutely stable*.

I'm looking at the E-4200 450mhz Model:
 PIII 450 mhz w/512 cache
 TI Rage Pro Turbo 8MB 2x AGP Graphics Accelerator
 13GB 5400RPM Ultra ATA hard drive
 13X min. / 32X max. CD-ROM
 Slots: Three 32-bit PCI, One 16-bit ISA,
        One PCI/ISA and One AGP
 3COM PCI 10/100 Twisted Pair Ethernet w/WOL
 TR5 IDE Tape Backup Unit

Much of the hardware included in the system is too new to be
listed on the supported hardware lists.  My general experience
with the Linux-Hardware relationship has been bad (I know
Signal 11's very well), so I'm trying to be very cautious.

Politically it's possible for me to purchase hardware from Gateway,
and possible for me to purchase the E-4200 model because we are
purchasing additional E-4200's for desktop win95 use.  Unless this
hardware is unable to run Linux, it is the hardware I must purchase.
Alternative hardware from Gateway would be an option.

Thanks for whatever insight you can provide.

        - VAB

Do you have '/usr/local/lib/' in '/etc/ld.so.conf' and did you run

Nothing.

Just reboot, Linux should recognize all the memory.

Most likely you have to update the BIOS settings.  Then the kernel finds it
and is perfectly happy. You know, "Press [DEL] to Enter Setup".

Can somebody tell me what to do when you add memory (from 16 Mb to 64 Mb) in
your Linux box? (Suse 6.0)
Modify something in the configuration?
Thank you.

Hi Michael

I have read your problem with your CDrom drive on the SuSE list.  I have a
similiar setup to you, Acer 24x CDrom, 3.4gb and 1.2gb hard disks and  was
wondering if you can help?

I attempted to install SuSE 6.0 using the standard 2.0.36 kernel and I kept
on getting this error message after Linux had booted for the first time and
went to finalise settings with YaST:

An error occured mounting the CD.  The error output of the mount command is:

 mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdd
 or too many mounted file systems

I have now managed to install SuSE 6 but I still have problems: I notice
that I can only mount the SuSE CDs with the drive spinning, should the drive
spin down (after 5mins) then I can not mount the CD (lights flash etc and
irq timeout errors appear in the /var/log/messages see below).
Interestingly this seems to only happen with the SuSE CDs, all 5 of them!  A
copy of RedHat 5.2 can be accessed all the time, even after CDrom spin down.
All CDs can be read in Win98.

Any ideas?

Thank you
Rich

The OSS drivers you buy are alot easier. I thought I knew
sound setup for my awe32, but I have spent about 10 hours
fiddling around with /etc/conf.modules to get it to where it
works perfectly.

It's easy to use the standard drivers, but you need to put lines
in /etc/.conf.modules for your specific card. There is good
documentation in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/sound, but it is=20
difficult to understand at first.

Luckily, most cards have been setup by now, and you can find the right
conf.modules statements in the newsgroups or here, just by asking.

But with OSS, there is no isapnp to deal with, nor conf.modules.

I did learn about module options though, so there is something to say
for doing it the hard way.

One thing I like about Suse, is the yast security setting which
assigns control-alt-delete to a clean shutdown. I never have
a problem shutting down and cleaning out the zombies, a 2 minute
reboot.
I know that isn't the answer you were looking for, but it's easy. :-)

Wow, that is one humongous question. The only thing I've ever seen
is the OSS website used to have a little tutorial about programming
sound with their drivers. It probably would have some info.

This is one I can answer. If you want to record from cd, get cdda2wav.
It lets you rip a track from a scsi cd drive to a wave file in about 30=20
seconds. This is one area where linux multimedia beats window's stuff.

Don't care about these symlinks, or better, leave your fingers off.
These things have, for good reason, been removed from the README.=20
Fiddling with /usr/include/{asm,scsi,linux} will most probably
break your development environment.
If you compile software, it normally shouldn,t use the kernel headers,
but the (g)libc headers. Otherwise you risk having to recompile software
whenever the kernel changes.

Since you removed the "Lock" line from /etc/ppp/option file the only
thing left to do is make sure that you can run /usr/sbin/pppd.   As root
do "chmod a+s pppd" on it.  YaST removes the +s from pppd when ever you
run it, so remember to restore +s to pppd everytime you run YaST or
change the setting in /etc/permissions.

Additional Remarks (from the glibc FAQ):

* 2.17.  I have /usr/include/net and /usr/include/scsi as symlinks
*        into my Linux source tree.  Is that wrong?
*
* {PB} This was necessary for libc5, but is not correct when using glibc.=20
* Including the kernel header files directly in user programs usually does
* not work (see question 3.5).  glibc provides its own  and 
* header files to replace them, and you may have to remove any symlink that
* you have in place before you install glibc.  However, /usr/include/asm and
* /usr/include/linux should remain as they were.

I've been compiling development kernels ever since. And I've _never_
dealt with these things, nor did I _ever_ have problems with this.
I think, this speaks for itself.

 I was just about to post a similar question. I just downloaded everything
from:
ftp://ftp.us.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/1.1/distribution/rpm=
/SuSE-6.0/binary/>
Should I remove kde 1.0 via YaST change/create configuration. Then install
all
of the packages from that ftp site. I heard mention of a  install upgrade
script for=20
kde 1.1 ?? When I installed SuSE i installed all KDE even the alpha stuff.
 Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanx,
IAN

Hello All:

Can I have your opinion on something?  With many of your help in this
mailing list, I've accomplished configuring a LInux 6.0 SuSE server with
an ADSL connection on eth0 and a small network of 3 Win95 clients on eth1.

Shortly after doing so, however, my eth0 keeps getting lost and my route
tables of which my gateway to the internet exists has disappeared.  It
seems my dhcp client is resetting and I'm loosing all my settings.

For your review, I posted a short sample of my messages log from
/var/logs/messages on to:

http://www.techlinks.com/dhcpreset.txt>

I was hoping I could get your opinion from the experienced here as to what
may be going on.

In my frustration, I actually registered to sign up with another ISP
that'll give me a static ISP.  But I want to resolve/understand this
problem first as I wouldn't want to change and have this reset problem
still occur.

Thanks for reading this.

Lester

        I've finally run into a problem with a Microsoft basic mouse.   I've =

re-installed my SuSE 6.0 system to get it to run properly and now the=20
mouse won't work in X-windows.  It worked fine on setup but on re-

        Just for the sake of argument I've installed the 2.2 pre 7 kernel. =20
Has anyone heard of this one ?

Hello again:

This is a second message in response to my post of "DHCP reset"

I have a Linux SuSE 6.0 server that has a dynamically assigned IP from my
ISP.  I've asked that they assign me a static IP which I expect to receive
in a few days from now. =20

Could someone suggest/describe what modifications do I have to make to:

1.  completely disable the dhcp client
2.  assign my newly assigned static IP to my eth0

---------

Am I correct that I am to use YAST and select "NO" to the prompt "Do you
want to use this machine as a DHCP client?=20

AND

choose System Administration|Network Administration|Configure Base
Configuration

...where I can assign the static IP here?

--------------

Is this correct?

Thanks everyone.

Lester

I own a couple of movies, but I've more or less held off on purchasing
and sort of player because the lack of commitment from the big players.
So far my take on this is that the likes of Sony and Panasonic to name
but two have there own technology. I believe Philips may, as well. There
is a great deal of money to be made and Sony, I'm sure, does not want to
be paying another royalty to someone like Philips, who owns the patents
on the cassette.

Hi-Val brought a recordable DVD player last year, I believe; I'd bet
that the drives are Panasonic.

Personally, I'm looking forward to the more mundane application of
popping "Conspiracy Theory" into my Linux box and settling down to a
good pizza on some Friday winter's evening. I might add I would like the
storage for the digital audio/video I will be putting together, as well.

Perhaps it is time to knock at the doors of the likes of Creative Labs
for proper LInux support?

Bob

I just scanned over your comments and I think I more or less agree.

There is a verse in the Bible, "arrogance comes before the fall." I
personally hope that by in large, Linux users will show themselves to
more than a bunch of "hackers' or "save-the-whale" types. I'm all for
cheering for the home team, but people will begin to look a lot more
seriously as they see those, who use linux, to be serious minded about
what Linux can do. First impressions are lasting impressions.

I'd personally like to see the efforts of the many Linux developers
rewarded by a great reputation.

Dear Sir:

Thank you for your response on my problem.
I checked all files you told me about
However there is nothing found wrong in  /var/log/messages
and -ipx-protocol in /etc/ppp/options was already disabled by default.
Could you tell me please what can be wrong in general setting or just new
kernels 2.2.4 and 2.2.5 too buggy?
My old kernel 2.0.36 works just fine with kppp with the same setting but
new kernels don't. The same deal as Expecting OK infinitely.

Thank you

Alex

The beta cdrom contains various disk images in the subdirectory disks. You
could e.g. use the 'rescue' image.

Under Linux:    cat //disks/rescue > dev/fd0
Under Win9x:    Use some tool or may be NC to copy the image to a floppy

What do you mean with root disk?

Hi list,
My company sells among others a CAD-Software (ArchLine).
There are serious attempts in porting the program to Linux.
But I need customers who would "promise" to buy this product to enforce
the port. I'm sorry that we can't give it away for free, but the
programmers (CADLine in hungary) want to live :)

The speciall features of ArchLine are :

-reconstruction
-photogrammetry
-masscalculation
-countrymodelling
-layout
-visualisation (p.e. scribbels)

[sorry don't know if all translations are correctly :) ]

I've a bet running with a collegue that i find at least 10 possible
customers for the linux version, so please help me .
As far as I can judge it this program is really very good and
professional.
It's fighting against products like AutoCAD and ArchiCAD, should there be
enough consent it would be one of the first professional CAD-products
portet to linux.

It would cost about 3300-3700 $ for the Linux version.

Sorry for the spam if you are'nt interested.

live long and prosper ...

Robert,
When you consider that there are now millions upon millions of Linux
users, the few anti-social types that you encounter on newsgroups and
maillists are not even a drop in the bucket.  Most people just use Linux
(and WinXX) without much thought about opinions expressed here and other
places.=20
The reputation will be based on the reliability of the kernel and the
major apps, like GIMP, KDE, WP8, SO 5.0 and others.  Not on any
particular person.  Linux is too big for that now.
JLK

All,

I am a newbie to Linux, and installed SuSE 5.3 about 7 weeks ago,   
followed by a complete re-install of SuSE 6.0 a week later when it hit   
the stands. Linux is a superb system, and promises me all the power and   
speed that I've been dreaming of. On the other hand, it is very   
challenging to install, even for someone like me who is a   
better-than-average Windows programmer and who is very comfortable with   
both computer hardware and software. Perhaps I should call it a suitably   
humbling learning experience.

I'm impressed by SuSE as well (I researched Linux for 18 months before   
choosing SuSE) and especially appreciate their attention to detail. And   
if you're listening, SuSE, I would be happy to work with you in writing a   
series of short "how-to's" in newbie-English for simple things like "How   
to put an icon on your KDE desktop which will allow you to access your   
floppy." It was the little things like that which had me pulling out my   
hair in the beginning.

My primary problem is that I can never get PPP to work more than a couple   
of times in a row -- that is, if I can get it to work at all, which is   
rare these days. I'm sure that it has something to do with my   
configuration, listed at the end of this mail, and especially with my   
hostname and machine name configuration. I have a stand-alone computer   
hooked into an ISP with a modem and have no immediate plans to network   
with my other Win98 computer at home. Do I even need a hostname or a   
machine name? I'm totally confused, and it seems that those of us with   
stand-alone systems are kind of glossed over in the how-to's and   
man-pages.

Another problem is that I get the "cannot determine local host name, use   
the servername directive to set it manually" message every time I boot   
up. I plan to take LenZ Grimmer's suggestion to get that fixed up, and I   
suspect it's somehow related to my PPP problem.

A second problem is that diald starts dialing away furiously upon bootup   
even before I can log on. Again, I will take the advice of others who   
have posted this month to the list.

The final problem is that I can play all sorts of sounds on the media   
player when I'm in KDE, but KDE itself will only rarely play system   
sounds when I type in "kaudioserver" at a terminal prompt. I can live   
without sound, though I should demand it of my system since setting up   
the soundcard was such a nightmare.

I've tinkered this PPP thing to death, am sure that I've bungled it up   
royally, but greatly appreciate the help I've gotten by gleaning the   
archives of this list back to early last summer. I only wish I had found   
this list sooner than about 10 days ago. I will do my best to help others   
who find themselves in sticky situations that I've somehow managed to   
avoid or climb of.

Most frequently the reason for pppd failing is unnecessary (that is,
sometimes bogus options for pppd). Especially if you are having problems,
you should try to get pppd running with as few parameters as possible.
If things are up and running you can, on a step by step basis, try to
tune. I'll insert some comments below into your config files.

Do you have a fix IP address or a dynamically allocated one. I asume the
latter.

BTW, there's also the linux-ppp list at vger. If you want to subscribe send
a message to majordomo(a)vger.rutgers.edu with only

ubscribe linux-ppp

in the body of the message.

You should first make some changes in /etc/rc.config.
I think, this will Yast/Suseconfig caus to automatically change
the files in /etc/suseppp.

There's really lots of misconfiguration in it!

But I think, that changing /etc/rc.config will solve at least part of it.

Here you should assign a number from the appropriate ranges, e.g.

If you take 192.168.0.1 for your local IP, see above, this could be e.g.
IFCONFIG_0=3D"192.168.0.1 broadcast 192.168.255.255 netmask 255.255.0.0

The line you have now maybe the cause for diald's activity on startup.

This should be a two component name like texas.home
This would make texas your machhine name.
This should, together with the above ip be put into your /etc/hosts

This should be the Nameserver addresses of your ISP. You have also
specified this number above as remote IP address. You should ask your
ISP for the nameserver addresses. This number normally is different
from the peer address. If you get only one address, use only one. Don't
use it doubly. But you will get two, because there must always be a
primary and a secondary name server.

Never heard of a modem with this speed. Use 57600 for a 33.6k or
115200 for a 56k modem.

Why doubly? Don't know

Try the changes, run suseconfig, and then try connecting to your
ISP. If you want, post you config files again then.

Humm...

I'll put the original file in place then. I've not run into problems
because I've not compiled any package that needs the scsi header file,
though. Thanks, for the pointer.

I am having problems with gnucash as well. I have everything accept
libreadline.so.3 and I download the rpm that is suppose to install
it..and rpm does it's job or so it says, but when I updatedb and look
for it. It's not there.
If someone could just tar it up and send it to me..and let me know where
gnucash looks for it..I guess it should work..or at least I will be over
that hurdle.

this is what I get when I run the gnucash executable...

inthetk(a)dragula:~ > gnucash
gnucash: error in loading shared libraries
libreadline.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or
directory

any help would be appreciated :)

Hi everyone,

I'm really sorry you told me some of this before, but I
accidently purged my inbox. Which com port should I use
for the new internal modem I'm installing tommorow? I
was going to set the jumper on the card so that it is
permenantly on that port, which I think'll make things
simpler.

I have a sound card installed, but since it sounds like
its pretty hard to setup under linux, and since my mom
in law doesn't really like sound on the machine I was
just going to let linux be silent.

Is COM2 perhaps a good plan? I have a printer too, by
the way. Or should I use COM1 which means the COM1 port
on the back of the machine can't be used, but we have a
PS2 mouse anyway.=20

Any help would be appreciated, I find all this kind of
stuff really confusing.

I'm installing the modem tommorow, hopefully all will
go well :-)

Cheers,
Dom

Hi Mike
    For a really easy ppp connect use wvdial. Possibly try the suseppp script=

Look under wvdial then to the bottom pf the page.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to get a package that has
libjpeg.so.62 specifically. GNUcash is erroring on this now...and I
can't find a package with this specific version of the lib files in it.
:/
I really wanna get this thing up and running. My wife is tired of
Quicken 98 crashing her old Mac 5200, so she wants me to track our
finances. 

Any help would be wonderful, and I know someone has to know the who's
and what's of this thing.

laters,

Hello,

Man my brain really has been taking a lot of time off,
I checked the archive and will put the modem on com1
since I have a PS2 mouse. Oh dearie me, time for sleep.
Well, no need to answer that post from me. ;-)

Sorry folks,

Hello:

   I'd like to know how can I activate rsh to root user. I can write the
remote machine in /etc/hosts, /etc/hosts.equiv, and in /root/.rhosts,
but I can't use remote command (rsh, rlogin, rcp , rdist ..)if I'm root
user, but I can if I'm another user different of root.

    I'm sorry because my english is horrible.

   Thank you

Hi Richard,

did you activate the aux. mouse port in your kernel setup? Does it work
with the "old" 2.0.36 kernel? Did it work (before) on X with an "old"
kernel?
These questions point onto lack of kernel mouse support...

Hi list,
thanks for all the interests, I forgot to mention, that there is a demo
version for download at www.archline.at/download/
(of course it's only for windows at this time)

It's version 3.1 (english) and 3.2 (german)
At the CeBIT we presented version 4.0, but it isn't released yet cause of
some bugs.

greets

Hi,

has anyone solved the problem of NEDIT with suse 6.0? I worked with nedit on
RedHat with KDE and I had a lot of menu shortcut working, and a lot of
CRTL-x shortcuts working.

On Suse (same nedit version, same nedit config files) I cannot use shortcuts
at all... what does this depend on??

Thanks in advance!

Stefano

Same problem here, I tried to fix it by modifying the .Xresources file, but
that's of course not the optimal solution.

I thought it had something to do with this annoying KCharset: Wrong charset !
problem, which I've still not been able to solve.

Hi

        I corrected the error I was suffering from last night where the=20
mouse wouldn't work in X-windows by re-installing the 2.0.36 kernel. =20
As I was doing this a message popped up which said to install=20
kernmod.rpm if a mouse problem appeared.  I suspect that someone may=20
have a weird sense of humour ?

        I had to install a new X server which now works fine with the mouse. =


        However, I now find that when I use Kppp to connect to the internet=20
it connects for a while and then disconnects and reconnects shortly=20
afterwards.  Anyone know which config file I should alter to sort=20
this out ?  I can't remember just now.

        Other thing is.  Has anyone worked out how to use Kppp from a=20

and I would like to be able to use all of them through my domestic=20
network from windows 98 machines as well as use the linux box for=20
writing web pages and writing simple (introductory) software.

        I know that I can use Wvdial but I thought that it might be=20
interesting to have a go with Kppp.

Thanks

is qtstreams.h found here?  Some KDE utils don't compile without it.

Yes, /usr/local/lib/ was there and I don't know if /sbin/ldconfig had
been run, but after I did it, just to be sure, the results were the same...

I suppose, this is due to some securety settings in yast. there is no
root login via network. (standard) you can "loosen" security with some
variables in yast.
This restrictions may apply to rlogin or rather r-services as well.

make sure to run /sbin/SuSEconfig after changing these vars

could be:
#
# If you want to allow root logins from other machines, set
ROOT_LOGIN_REMOTE
# to "yes".
#
ROOT_LOGIN_REMOTE=3D"no"

Hi,

    I hope not! Call me a dreamer, but I think that linux is what it is
(free, and working, and stable) mainly because of this 'hacker' and 'whale
saver' attitude of its supporters... And it wouldn't be a bad thing if all
the PC world would stick to this attitudes, at least because they make us
put the heart in what we do, programming, translating docs, or just using
Linux and reporting the bugs for further improvements...
    Do you think a guy without a 'hacker' mind would program a FREE
environment, without the perspective of gaining something from it? Or that a
guy without a 'whale saving' tendence could bear all the disinformation
campaigns that the major companies have lead in the past?
    Greetings,
        Mano :)

Hi=20
I'm trying to start using a localhost nntp server called leafnode.
The instructions for leafnode instruct me to run the program "fetch",
which actually goes out and gets the news, as user "news".=20
Unfortunately, news gets the error:
Could not open lockfile /var/run/fetch.lck for writing, abort fetch ...
Sould I change the permissions on the dir (seems like a bad idea...)
or run fetch as root?
Thanks,
Andy

I mostly agree.  Linux has really already "won" in a sense, because
there will always be people interested in continuing development for it,
and therefore Linux itself will continue.  There is no business to go
out of business with linux.

I don't believe that we need to change our attitudes, or more
specifically, our philosophies to allow Linux to have success in the
corporate world.  I am a very strong believer in the Free Software
Foundation, GNU and the GPL.  I literally do believe all software should
be free.  I am realistic about it, but my philosophy is in tact. =20

If I were only concerned about using the very best workstation operating
system available for my workstation needs, then I would be using the
BeOS and developing more for it (as I should be :-))  I do use Be, but
it is not my primary OS.  Linux is, and as time goes on, I shy further
and further away from using proprietary software, not necessarily
because it is inferior, but because it speaks of greed.

Your ps-2 mouse uses irq12, so your com1 is open.
Set your card jumpers to (irq4,3f8).
Make sure you go into system bios and find
your serial port1 settings and disable com1,
or chnge it to another address and irq.
Otherwise your motherboard's serial port
will conflict with your card.

Your soundcard should go on irq5,
and printer on irq7. Make sure you
check bios settings for your
lpt port.

Hi,

I'm trying to set up multiple OSs on my system. I have 2 drives, one IDE

drive, and one SCSI drive. The SCSI drive is an IBM 9.1Gb ultrastar.
Does anyone know why win 95 fdisk has a problem reading the partition
table when linux seems fine with it? Fdisk on linux reports 8748
cylinders and fdisk on 95 (ie win95 dos) reports 1023 cylinders and 724
Mbytes less capacity!

The other thing was whether anyone had tried setting up an NT boot
partition and Linux boot partition on a SCSI drive which comes up as
drive 2 (IDE always seems to come first) using LILO?

I had planned my partitions to be :-
Drive 1:
LILO in the MBR
WIN95 boot partition

/dev/psaux is only needed for ps2 mice. If microsoft basic means a normal
serial mouse, psaux is not needed. Support for serial mice is included
in the serial driver, that means, you must have enabled serial support.
It may be compiled as a module. But I wouldn't recommend that.

Dear Alessio

below is the answer I received from SuSE technical support on this issue.
I use 5.3, hence I can't verify what they say, but they *do* say halt -p is
supported in 6.0.  Therefore when you call

hutdown -h now

your change of  'halt -p' in the shutdown script should work!

k.
p.s. the AX59 is a good board (I use it too), but power off is nothing to do
with board's bios, as Linux turns it off....   :-)

I think not much. I think that our halt in 5.3 does not support -p,
but our halt in 6.0 does support it.

halt is in the package sysvinit. I've looked for an update for 5.3
but there isn't one here.

I configured Kppp (in the KDE wm) and initially I get a connection but
then it dies (unexpectedly! - is this a joke? Was he shot? I imagine
that if he'd died after long term illness he died 'expectedly'). Why is
that? I didn't do anything out of the ordinary nor did I add any
options.

It is easu, download all the files at SusE, they will be in RPM formats,
than get out of KDE (very important step), than use YaSt, go to where you
delete and install packages, you have the option to chose a directory, and
point to the directory of the rpm's, select and install

The controller is an Adaptec onboard dual channel UltraSCSI AIC-7895. The
bios is pretty new (Award on a 440BX Gigabyte Dual PII bought at the end of
last year).
The UDMA registers 1027 cylinders logical geometry, and appears to
configure correctly. However, it is at the 8.4Gb limit.
Again I'd point out that Linux has no problem, and last night I managed to
get the NT to see the partition table (though the install got all the way
to restarting the computer, then hung on startup).

LenZ,

What is the status of this development?  [Not nagging here but I=20
*think* this works on RedHat, but I could be wrong.] I too wish=20
to use a SuSE box as my gateway between RoadRunner and my local=20
network. Is there *any* configuration that will work?  I thought=20
I read something about having two dissimilar NICs (and drivers)=20
made things work.  I'm about to buy a VA Research system and may=20
have to resort to RedHat (e-gads) if there is no way around=20
this!  The RR system requires DHCP - but how about if I run DHCP=20
on my local network as well?  Will SuSE run a DHCP client on one=20
NIC and a DHCP server on another? That is to say, is the problem=20
mainly with having a *static IP* on one NIC while running DHCP=20
on the other?  Can we expect a fix for this soon?

Thanks in advance,
Bob

A freind of mine just upgraded to the 2.2.4 kernel and he was previous
running the 2.0.36 kernel (he was using oss for sound no problem) when he
upgrade however, it seems the new kernel 2.2.4 (not sure about the 2.2.x
kernels before 2.2.4) does not support OSS, he hasnt gotten it working
under this kernel at least. and this is what he claims. Any
ideas/comments/suggestions?

This is a known problem with tkrat and has been reported to SuSE and the
package maintainer.  I have a workaround that loads the locale
information through a small script and then starts tkrat.  Would you
like that?

I think tkrat is a very nice email client.  Give it a try with my
little script.  I have not found one that suits my way of working more
than tkrat.  It has some very complex features like a database, good
search abilities, nice folder handling, saved expressions for
searching, etc. =20

Just add the memory.  The linux kernel will determine how much is there.  And=

Some people think you should increase your swap size if you increase your mem=

to you.  I have 64M swap and 160M RAM because I've never increased my cache s=

ever since I had 64M of RAM in the machine, the swap has never been used.  No=

sure it never gets used.

Hi everyone,

Well I got a shiny new internal us robotics 56k real
honest guv hardware modem and just installed it. Works
with windows, it is plug and play though. I decided
since I have a PS2 mouse, to put it on com1, and in the
bios of my machine I disabled the "auto" set feature
for com1. So I used the isapnp.onf below to allot it to
com1 ran the isapnp comand and I got the following
error message:

Hi,

is it normal that I cannot upgrade SUSE via the yast (0.991.2) FTP upgrade?

Steps followed:

Adjustment of installation->inst medium-> ftp site
default: ftp.suse.com
it connects... then I get the error:

550 /pub/SuSE-Linux/suse/setup/descr: No such file or directory
File not found on server
Abort

Am I wrong about anything?

Thanks for the support!

Normally root isn't allowed to do this sort of things for the obvious
security reasons.

Login as a normal user using 'rsh' and then do a 'su -'.

An even beter solution is to install 'ssh': Secure Shell. You can find
ssh on ftp.replay.com for sure and probably elsewhere.

So is mine. Don't worry.

I had a similar problem when I upgraded to kernel 2.2.4

With the old kernel (2.0.36) I had to (at boot time) set my UART to my modem =
to
16550 rather than 16550A, because for some reason if it was at 16550A it ran
REALLY slow. But it worked great at 16550. When I got the new kernel, I could
not connect via ppp. And after a week of hair pulling I decided to try UART
16550A, and with the new kernel it now works fine!
This may not be relevant to your problems, but it might help. Try using
different UARTs. To set different UARTs use 'setserial /dev/modem UART
xxxxx'    -- if you find that this fixes the problem, edit your
/sbin/init.d/boot.local  file and add the setserial line to it. Or you can ed=
it
/sbin/init.d/serial and add the line at the bottom as well, both methods with
set your modem to the proper setting at boot time.   For my modem I also use
the spd_vhi  flag to set my modem to use the fastest settings. My line in
/sbin/init.d/boot.local is:    'setserial /dev/modem IRQ 10 UART 16550A
spd_vhi'   .

Good luck!

Later,
Ryan

Hm. If there's no error message I'm afraid I can't help :-(

When you print plain text (eg., lpr file.txt), the printer filters the
file through a2ps to print two columns landscape.=20
Read:
        /usr/doc/packages/aps/doc/methods

I think you can use:

Hi,
I went and got the unsupported glibc version
of Netscape 451. I installed it yesterday, and it
ran without error, started from an xterm.

Today, I try to start it from an xterm, and it
gives me an error message:
"cannot load libm.so.5" and then
it proceeds to run fine.

An ldd of the executable shows no dependency at
all for libm.so.5, and furthermore, I have libm.so.5.09
in my cache.=20
Anyone knows what gives? Why did it run fine yesterday, and today
give this message? I find this worrisome.

That fatal error is where your problem is, the isapnp file
seems to look OK. I've never seen that error.
Maybe if you downloaded thru windows, you got some
dos ^M's placed at the ends of your lines and isapnp
can't deal with it.

Look at the file with the "joe" editor, and see if there
are a bunch of ^M's at the end of each line. If so, run the
file thru dos2unix to strip them out.

My only guess.

I have a DJ500, and it works fine just as yast set it up.
My only oddity, is I need to use " lpr -Praw textfile",
to print plain ascii text without stairsteps.
Maybe you have a jumper set on the printer to use landscape mode?

Try to link libm.so.5.09 to libm.so.5

I haven't yet installed 4.51 yet. But I checked 4.5
It's not linked against libm, but against libg++ and libstdc++, which
inturn are linked against libm.

The amount of swap needed depends on whhat kind of applications you are
using. If you are using lots of monstrous things like staroffice etc
you will need more swap.

More than likely it is one or both of two possibilities:
1.  Your /etc/ppp/option file has a line starting with "Lock" in it.=20
Empty that file.
2.  Your /usr/sbin/pppd file is lacking su permission.  As root issue
"chmod a+s  /usr/sbin/pppd".  Unless you change /etc/permissions to tell
YaST what you want on pppd it will strip suid off of pppd every time it
is run.

Hi,

A disk performance question :-)
I have two UW scsi disks (IBM [id 6] and Quantum [id0]) on the same UW
SCSI-3 Tekram controller [id 7].
Nothing else is attached to the controller.
Controller is set to 40MB/sec transfer rate in its scsi config utility.
It detects disks correctly and sets the transfer rate to 40MB/sec (I can
see that when the system boots and scsi info is displayed).
Quantum disk is capable of 40MB/sec and IBM is capable of 80MB/sec.
Kernel is configured with the highest possible number (40MHz) for
transfers.
I was copying a large file (50Meg) from quantum to ibm disk using mc.
mc has a nice feature that shows you the transfer rate in MB.
That indicated the transfers of ~3MB/sec...
I have to note that I was going from a native linux partition to a fat32.
But anyway, why is it so slow?
thanks,

-alexm

Go to /etc/apsfilterrc and look in there, about 700f the way through the
file, section 7. There is probably a line like:

FEATURE=3D2n

Change this to:

FEATURE=3D1n

The instructions on why/how are just above this section in the file. I'm
running SuSE 5.3, but it is doubtless the same.

I have the /etc/resolv.conf file. Permission for pppd is set to '-rwsr-xr--'.
I know what 'r', 'w' and 'x' stand for but what about 's'? It's not mentioned
in the SuSE manual (at least, I didn't find it and believe me I searched for
it) And what's 'setuid'? There's no "lock" option for /etc/ppp/options. This
is done in YaST, right?

Before I do research on how to do this, it is possible to do this right, on a 
2 drive box, with SUSE 8.0 on 1 drive, Debian and 98se splitting the other? 
I'm already dual booting fwiw..

Thank you for your time.
