No matter what I try I always get the same result: Connection to database 'template1' failed. User authentication failed. I'm using: psql template1 -h empire. I created a user in the server with 500 as a UID. This user should be the "owner" of a new database. The user created has a Unix UID of 500 in the workstation and postmaster is started with the -i option (standard start from suse).=20 What am I doing wrong?

That's why -qi failed. And it would fail with a message saying in effect ".. not installed...". If you try to install it again you would get a message say it was already installed! Somehow YaST, when it uses RPM, works around this bug, but I switched to 'tar' back when I was using RH 5.0 because of this problem. I can't help you with the rvplayer. If I recall correctly, there was a 'wrapper' program that one had to run prior to (or as a boot strap loader of) rvplayer.

I debated whether to upgrade or reinstall on a clean system. I decided to upgrade. I have had ZERO problems running 6.0. One choice I did make during the upgrade was to install the libc5 package to maintain compatibility with binaries that required those libraries.

I find that I can run many applications without any slowdown whatsoever. I could do this on a Pentium 120, and now on my Celeron 300A. I get a slowdown when I am over using my swap partition and switching between applications. Another thing is if you haven't recompiled your kernels to optimize it to your hardware, it is going to be a little slower. Now I haven't really seen any adverse effects, any problems or any great speed hits from using the packaged kernels, but it is something to play with. It sounds like you are running on an older system, and you are having a problem with your RAM, you can try compiling the kernel to think that it can only allocate the first 16 Mb of RAM. Older RAM can cause slowdowns when you put too much in. You'll start using a lot more swap, but the multitasking speeds should improve. If you're still having speed problems, you might just want to look into a system tuning handbook. There are a lot of little tweeks you can make to your system to make it go faster. O'Reilly has a book about it in their Nutshell handbook series. There are definately others out there too. =20 -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.12 GCS/M/>P d-(pu) s+:- a17>?

SB live available. The ftp site is:

what kept me from it.

To whoever was having the "wall" tty error on shuting down:

I have been having the same problem.  I'm running SuSE 6.0 w/ KDE 1.0.  My
xterm should be new, I assume.  Seems that KDE does not know how to shut down
the tty/xterm window properly.  Thus the error on shutdown.

It shouldn't be too hard to set it up to check To: or CC:. Or
the footer that is automatically attached to every mail by
majordomo. Or the `From owner-suse-linux-e(a)suse.com' header. Or
the `X-Mailinglist: suse-linux-e' header. Here's what I have in
my .procmailrc:

:0:
* ^TOsuse-linux-e@|^From.owner-suse-linux-e@
/home/sttr/Mail/SuSE-Linux-English

This was indeed cool.  I was glad to be an exhibitor at the Linux Pavilion
and see that SuSE was crowded most if not all the time!!  Congrats SuSE!!
Hopefully, the logistics of future comdex's will include a more balanced
level of support for those showing Linux.=20

Hello,

I need some help getting midi files to play.

I have KDE 1.1 installed. (from ftp://ftp.suse.co=
m/pub/suse_update/KDE>). KMIDI
is almost working. A few of the sample midi files play OK but most (almost al=
l)
make no sound. The info button on the kmidi app shows many errors similar to
the following...

MIDI file: /opt/kde/share/apps/kmidi/midis/Axel_Elf.mid
Format: 0  Tracks: 1  Divisions: 192
Track name: Control
No instrument mapped to tone bank 0, program 11 - this instrument will not be=

No instrument mapped to tone bank 0, program 98 - this instrument will not be=

No instrument mapped to tone bank 0, program 100 - this instrument will not b=

etc...

I have kgoemon 1.1 installed.  Is there some configuration step I need to take
after installing the package?

I have looked at the readme files, but they seem to address compiling the
source, not configuring an already installed package -- at least I can't figu=
re
it out.

All other sound stuff is working. It's just midi I can't figure out.

Hi All:

I'm a SuSE 6.0 user with kernel 2.0.36.  Where do I open up ports 7070,
7070, 554, and 8000...all default ports of the G2 RealServer for Linux?
When I try to play even the sample files, RealPlayer clients report
"connection to the Realserver could not be established", even though ps
-aux clearly shows it up and running.

Thanks

LJ

By no means!  Have a look at the file /var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf
which has good comments; also a manpage is available:

    man pg_hba.conf

After changing pg_hba.conf don't forget to restart the postmaster:

    rcpostgres restart

Has anyone had any experience with commecting a Psion to a Suse linux
box. I suppose I could use psi2win under wabi but....
What are the other options.
The answer to this will be critical in which I chose a palmpilot or a
psion.
Psion seems more my style. a computer for a bike panier.
Any comments greatfully accepted.

Try changing the Makefile and adding an `-lcrypt' at the end of

The Flash install for linux is pretty straightforward - much more than i=20
expected :-)
and it does work with SuSE.
try this:
1. Start Netscape + go to www.macromedia.com, head for the Shockwave=20
download area; you browser and operating system should be identified=20
automatically. There you can download the Flash 3 player beta 1 for Linux.=20
2.Download the file and  extract it to your home directory. Quit Netscape.
3.then simply copy the plugin *libflashplayer.so* into your netscape plugin=20
directory - found in /opt/netscape/plugins under SuSE
4. Restart Netscape and test out the plugin on some shocked html . eg:=20
www.flash.com

hould work fine

To anyone who may have attempted to subscribe to the vmware-linux list:

Unfortunately, it seems that on Friday night or early Saturday morning
the machine that runs the majordomo services at mcc.ac.uk went down, and
it is still down.

Therefore, any attempts to subscribe as given above will fail until the
machine is running again. Since tomorrow (Monday) is "Mayday" holiday,
it is possible that the machine will remain down until Tuesday. This is
beyond my control.

Quite possibly, attempts to deliver will continue for a few days and
therefore succeed on Tuesday without further intervention on your part,
but if you do not receive notification by mid-day Tuesday you should
later attempt to re-subscribe.

My apologies for having caused anyone to go down what, temporarily, is a
blind alley.

Best wishes to all,
Ted.

I am running an AMD k6-2 300mhz and 64mb SDRAM at 100mhz...I will try
experimenting with the kernel.

Thanks

If you have 6.0, chapter 7 on ppp is a very good text on how to connect to a
remote machine, I.E. an isp's machine.  I was able to setup my internet
connection by using this chapter.

Interesting.  I haven't noticed this in KDE 1.1, but then I'm not using
xterm.  If you use a program called 'rxvt' (has all the functionality of
xterm, it's a little lighter and it duplicates the arguement
syntax mostly), the problem should go away.  Rxvt doesn't open tty's, so
there aren't any to close.

The other solution of course is to hack KDE...=20

I use a serial mouse (Microsoft 2 button) and using the kernel that was
installed by Yast, it works with no problems. I built a new kernel using
including the serial devices option under Character devices (Nice new
interface for xconfig by the way) but i don't get any response from the
mouse. None at all. GPM doesnt seem to have an effect - the mouse cursor
is not displayed on the console - and in X (KDE) the mouse pointer is
displayed but no movement.
I believe it's a kernel thing because the mouse is okay when the
'install' kernel is used but not when my kernel is used.
However this is not happening so i'm asking for help.
...and anything on PCI soundcards will be nice too. :-)

  I think LenZ uses 2.2.6-ac7 or something.  Appearantly, Alan
just does a little more fine-tuning than Linus and his team do.
As I understand it, many if not most of Alan's patches are
integrated with then next official patch, so using an AC patch is
pointless unless you absolutely *must* be on the bleeding edge
of kernel development.  I've never touched them, personally.

Hi there:

Tim is, of course, correct.  SuSEconfig can be used to force this.  Full
intructions are given in the following SDB article:

http://www.suse.de/sdb/en/htm=
l/js_susemenue.html>

The inscructions listed there include the following:

    rm -f /var/lib/susewm/susewm.kwm=20
    cd /opt/kde/share/applnk=20
    rm -fr SuSE=20
    touch /var/adm/packages=20
    SuSEconfig

But I recommend reading it in its entirety.

Best of Luck,

-josh

This depends upon what exactly you want them to be able to do.

If you want users to be able to run the 'shutdown' or 'reboot' commands,
then you will want to look at SUDO.  You can give users the ability to run
commands as if they were other users.  This would enable them to remotely
shutdown or reboot your machine.  Be very careful the strings you use for
SUDO, as poorly chosen strings may allow people to bypass system security.
Generally require full paths for a start.

If you want to control who can shut it down from the console, another
option would be the file /etc/shutdown.allow.  This file contains a list
of users who may use ctrl-alt-delete.  If one of these users is logged in
on the console ctrl-alt-delete will work.

There are probably other methods.  Be creative :)

I believe the more apt question is whether Exchange can be configured to
act as an SMTP and POP3 or IMAP4 server.  I believe the answer is yes.
I doubt Netscape will support the nasty MS extensions, but they aren't
necessary to get and send mail.

The features you have mentioned here are all mail/contact management
features.  KOrganizer exists, though I have not used it.  So does xplan,
which has been fine for me.  Office97 includes many programs and it is
difficult te guess what you are looking for, but take a look at Applixware
and KOffice.

Best of luck,

Hello Craig

It sounds like you have a Red Hat box set up as a router plus address

only need tell the SuSE machine to use Red Hat as its default route. =20

As someone else stated, be careful about DHCP.  If you turn on the
dhclient package you _will_ need to have a DHCP server available.  In
contrast to what they stated, I have done packetdumps watching it attempt
get a lease at the renewal time period.

Here is as good as anywhere probably.  What does the routing table look
like on the SuSE machine?  What can it ping?  What can't it ping?  How
does it's behavior differ from working nodes?  Are you sure you set up
routing to the SuSE box or your Red Hat box?

I'm not sure of the problem here, although there are a few basic
questions. =20

You mention VMWare in your subject, and DosEmu in your message.  These are
completely different packages.  Which one do you mean?  Setting up a dos
disk in either environment is a rather common thing.  I expect the dosemu
documentation in /usr/doc/packages/dosemu will cover this quite well.  If
you prefor online resources, consider http://www.dosemu.org>

As far as VMWare goes, I have no idea how it works.  Consider looking
through their web/docs/etc.

Virtual networking is a much more tricky topic.  You might need to do a
lot of fact gathering about what does and does not work for you to get
useful help.  Again, the resources specific to the emulators are more
likely to have information.

As far as your configuration, I am quite suspicous of the 163 Mb of memory
you are using.  160MB might work in some boards (64+64+32), but I don't
see how one can reach 163MB as a valid amount.  Be sure you're not mixing
memory types as this can cause system instability.

Best of luck,

-josh

Well.. My first thought is "Don't reinstall".  Although this is not
necessarily helpful at this point, in general reinstalling linux is not
relevant to fixing problems unless you have broken things as root and
can't remember what you did to break them.  This isn't windows folks.

On a more useful note, what kind of zip drive is this?  ATAPI (IDE),
parallel, SCSI?  SCSI and ATAPI should simply be a matter of being sure
you have the SCSI driver set up if you use SCSI, and mounting the disk.

Parallel can be more tricky, as the 2.0.36 parellel port driver fights
with the zip ppa driver.  Under 2.2.6 they can coexist, but of course you
built this kernel yourself so I have no idea what modules you built and
how you built them.  You might see what is in /lib/modules/2.2.6 and you
might look at /usr/src/linux/.config to remind yourself what you did.

Are you still getting this specific error message after commenting this
line?  Are you certain it is so commented?  Are you getting different
symptoms now?

To diagnose this, more information is needed.  Open up an xterm.  'su' to
root.  run the command 'tail -f /var/log/messages'.  Try to use kppp.  You
should get all kinds of useful output in the xterm window.  Post this
here.

> as root do a "chmod a+s /usr/sbin/pppd

Please do _NOT_ do this.  pppd is arleady suid root.  Any user in the
'dialout' group should be able to run it.  Any user who can run kppp can
also run it.  The chmod commad above simply will make the command 'set
groupid' and 'sticky'.  This confers no advatages and could concievably
make trouble for you in the future.

> Edit /etc/permissions and change the permission on pppd to 7555 so YaST
> doesn't change it every time YaST runs.

Again, do not do this.  This will give any and all users on your system
access to a setuid program.  If you don't care about security at all, you
could give everyone the root password and not worry about permissions, but
otherwise I don't recommend this.

This is certainly one possibility.  There may be others.  Try running the
programs from the command line, you are much more likely to see any error
messages.

KDE and Gnome are both ambitious desktop programs.  KDE is in a more
'polished' form right now, which is largely attibuted to its longer
development time.  I'm not sure we will ever need a "winner", but at
this point both have certain advatages.  Use whatever you like.

Gnome RPMs have been included in SuSE since at least 5.3, althogh I
believe they were in 5.2 as well.  You are free to install them, though
none of them are in the Gnome 1.0.x series.  6.1 will have packages from
the 1.0.x series.  You might also want to take a look at the FTP site in
suse_updates.

Just as a followon note to this.  I have suse 6 with a 2036 kernel on a
suse 6 laptop and desktop that I have gotten a zip plus 250 working on with
no additional issues besides recompiling the laptop to include scsi support
at a basic level.  PCMCIA services found the adaptec slim scsi card and my
ethernet card but the kernel recompile and yast added a etho to the network
which kind of confused things because pcmcia-cs takes care of the eth0
interface.  I had a dummy0 and eth0 up at the same time with the same
logical addresses...

But as to the note about zip drives; I have had good luck with scsi devices
so if you are using the scsi zip or zip plus with scsi support it should not
be an issue.  As Josh points out above, parallel device support is more
tricky but it works.  We have brought up parport devices but it seems that
the kernel compile options for parallel port devices seems somewhat
scattered across the newer kernel config options.

All in all, scsi is a lot easier. My new zip plus 250 came right up on the
2.2.4 kernel off of a adaptec 2940 uw scsi host adaptor.  It also came right
up on the 2036 laptop kernel.  The scsi zip drive comes up at /dev/sdb here
since I already have a scsi jaz drive sharing my system.

I would check over the kernel compile options and make sure that parport
options are correct.

Take care!!

I actually disagree with this section of the manual when it suggests that
having the CDROM as a master on the second controller is incorrect.  In
any case, many IDE drives are ... not very robust, to be polite. =20

In some cases attempting to access them in certain specification-compliant
ways to determine their speeds will cause them to behave poorly, and could
concievably lock the IDE bus.  Here are some ways you can avoid this:

1) Tell linux where to find your CDROM.  On the initial boot: line try the
statement=20

boot: Linux hdb=3Dcdrom

2) Ask linux to use a minimum feauture set of IDE.  Many devices claim to
support modes they really don't.  In most cases Linux will detect the
data-loss, but not always.  On the initial boot: line try the statement

boot: Linux ide0=3Dnoautotune

3) Check the jumpers on the IDE devices.  Look for ones that say
'compatability' and such in the device manuals.  Some IDE devices don't
always get along correctly with each other without such tweaks.

4) Try replacing the IDE cables (perhaps a shorter one?).  This is a bit
wacky, but we have worked whith customers whose problems ended up being
cabling.

> Does anyone has any suggestion to solve the problem?

That's all the thoughts I have on this one.

Understood.

Hi all,

I've been trying to set up my network this weekend w/o much success :(
I've got two boxes connected using RJ45 Crossover cable.
In my main box (a Gateway G6-400 running SuSE 6.0) I have a Netgear FA310tx
card. It actually came with a linux driver (tulip).
In the other box (an old Compaq prolinea 4/66 running SuSE 5.2) I have a
Netgear EA201 (ISA)card. This did not come with any Linux driver. It is NE2000
compatible though.
I managed to set them up correctly (I'm pretty sure) in each of the boxes...
that is to say that i compiled support into the kernels and each device is
setup when booting.
In yast I went to 'network base configuration' and added ethernet (eth0) on e=
ach
of the boxes.
On my main box I gave it an ip of 192.168.0.99
the crappy box was given an ip of 192.168.0.44
I then activated the device on each and rebooted.
At this point I'm thinking that I should be setup and ready to go. Am I wrong?
I try to ping the old computer using 'ping 192.168.0.44' but it doesnt do
anything... no error messages or anything. I press ^C and of course it tells =
me
how many packets were sent and that all were lost.
I tried the same thing on the old box with the same results.
Can someone point me in the right direction? I'm pretty new to networking as =
is
obvious. What should I do? What am i doing wrong?
Thanks
rimez

Maybe this is a stupid question, but did you set up this printer as a
network printer or as a local printer?  If it is local, it could very well
be spooled locally .. but not do anywhere :).  What does the printcap
entry look like?

Don't know the particular one, but i think the high numbered laserwriters
are the high end ones.  And thus you'd think they could do postscript.
What happens if you send it output from a2ps, or just some ascii text?

> Just in case, are there any important differences between postscript

Level two printers can print level one postscript, but not vice versa.

Tred with some degree of caution with gnome.  I mention this because the
current state of the art with gnome is rather messy.  There are so many
inter-related packages with dependencies that by updating a package to
satisfy dependencies of another package you may very well see the foot panel
simply not start.  This happened to me when switching from the German RPMs
to SuSE's rpms.  This was not a clean switch and I found that I had to
backpedal to a point that my Dell Inspiron Laptop would not even function
reliably.  I finally rebuilt it and am using the default fvwm2 desktop.

I probably would not use kde because its something I just don't care for.  I
have tried it and my wife kinda likes it. I think she would use kde +
staroffice with no problems at all.

I love gnome and the characteristics look of the desktop.  I dont care
much for the enlightened desktop though.  I really prefer the latest
windowmaker with gnome.  Its fast and has a lot of functionality apart from
gnome.  I recently saw RedHat 6 running with the enlightened desktop and
gnome.  It looked pretty good.  I did find issues with installing redhat 6
though and the 8 gig drive on my laptop.

So my final considered, albiet subjective, opinion... Gnome is cool and you
should try it.  I would attempt to remember what you have done on your system=
.=20
I mixed rpms and self-compiled stuff because I wanted the latest.  I think
along the way I lost the rather resilient and stable desktop and had a
system crashing quite often.

Take care.

 =20
As Aduanne Carter said, this program is not required and will only work
with 2.2.x Linux kernels.  isapnp wants to use this program to be certain
that the settings it uses will not conflict with PCI-used settings.  In
practice this is relatively easily avoided.  You can simply cat /proc/pci
and check what settings are in use.

Alternatively, you may want to avoid this process, as some find it
difficult.  The SuSE distribution includes a free copy of the Open Sound
System with all the ISA drivers in it.  You can install this using YaST;
look in the 'pay' series for the package titled 'oss'.  More full
instructions can be located here:

=20
Looking in the diald manpage I see that this behaviour can be controlled
with the use of 'accept' commands, which will bring the line up and keep
it up, or with 'keepup' commands, which will only keep the line up.  These
start around line 1080 of the diald man page.  Take a peek at the
/etc/diald.conf and /etc/diald.defs files and see if it is clear where to
change these.  If not, I could install the package and take a peek myself.

Respectfully,

The 's' attribute doesn't appear in the permissions settings until I
suid it, so how can you tell it is already suid root... because dialout
is supposed to be?

My /usr/sbin/pppd is root:dialout.  pppd would only work properly when I
'chmod a+s pppd'.
Every time a ran YaST it took the suid off and Kppp wouldn't work until
I put it on again.

>=20

This certainly prevents YaST from taking the suid off of pppd so I don't
have to manual reset it every time I run YaST.

So, since you think these two items are problems, why do you suppose
that as a user I can't get pppd to be fired by Kppp unless I suid it?

Hello,

I'm relatively new to linux, and of all the distributions I've tried I like
SuSE the best [currently 6.0, waiting for my 6.1 to come ... :-)].  Anyway,
I use a Philips Velo1 with CE 2.0, and I was hoping someone might be able to
point me in the direction of information on using this under Linux.  The
only solution I have been able to find so far is to use VMware and run
things like normal on the guest machine.  However, it would seem as though
one should be able to (at a minimum) use samba and use some variant of win
ce networking functions to get data back and forth.  However - I'm just
learning Samba as well, so I guess there's nothing like jumping into the
deep end to learn to swim. ;-)

Any tips or hints would be useful.

Thanks in advance,
Sean

I added a third HD to my system (a P166 Sony VAIO with 64MB RAM) a
couple of months ago.  It has an autobooting CDROM that was set as
MASTER on IDE2.  I wanted my new HD to be MASTER on IDE2 so I moved my
CDROM to slave on IDE2 (and changed the jumbers on both appropriately)
and my bios refused to recognize my new HD until I made my CDROM master
again and the new HD slave on IDE2.  I decided I didn't care as long as
I could use the new HD and my CDROM would continue to autoboot.

Ok, this debate finally caught my eye.  I guess after the guy went all out
for Gnome, I feel the need to add my $.02.

Nobody.  I hope both KDE and Gnome survive.  The main reason for this is
the fact that, competition is good, and it is what I really love about
Linux.

KDE is definately more stable, but Gnome has its advantages too.

This is why I went with KDE, less hastle, and it is just as flexible.

Ok, in responce to these two paragraphs, I have to say, don't blow off KDE
based on its looks, because kwm (the _default_ windowmanager) sucks, IMHO.
It is very possible to change up your window manager with KDE.  I
personally use KDE and WindowMaker.  It required a little tweeking, but
it runs perfectly now.

My final opinion is go try Gnome, and if you get mixed up and have a
crashy system, there's always rm and KDE. =20

And always remember to read the README.  If you do that, you will go far.

Does every user that will run pppd have to be put in the dialout group?

I started out with the install settings on pppd.  You say that pppd is
suid root already.  If that setting is indicated by an 's' in the
permissions area then my pppd was not suid root because the 's' tag
wasn't in the permissions until I 'chmod a+s pppd' as root. (Couldn't do
it unless I was root).

I checked my group settings.  Root is in the user list for the dialout
group, but no other users are.  In /dev, what should the permission
flags and owner:user settings be for ttyS0, modem, etc.?

Hey Josh!
Thanks for setting me straight on this pppd business!
I logged into root and added my user name to the dialout group.  Then I
took the suid off of pppd.  When I logged back in under by user name and
fired Kppp it triggered pppd without any problems.
I've had it set wrong all these many months....  I guess I'm still in
the rookie class.
Thanks!
Jerry

I used to use a velo 500 and used vmware to synch outlook data to my velo.=20
Since then, I went to a palm which is much more unix/linux friendly.  There
are a lot of utilities to allow synching, backing up of data, installing
apps, etc for a pilot.  I still use vmware to run the pilot desktop but not
so often anymore. One can use kpilot and korganize and get close to some
synching nirvana :)  There is also pilot-link and pilotmanager for linux.
Pilot-link is a very useful suite of applications, ImO.

I dont know of any samba approaches for this.  I just stopped with the velo
and my company got me a palm 5.  I like the palm 5 overall. =20

and noticed that /etc/permissions sets pppd to 4755 (-rwsr-xr-x)
Isn't this the same as doing a a+s on pppd?  And why would it have to be
suid if root owns it and already has execute permission and it gives the
group and others execute permission?

If you have the gnome rpm files from ftp.suse.com, you can use YAST I would
think.  You probably should remove all the early stuff that ships with SuSE
6.0 though.  Gnome is confusing enough without having 0.30 libs hanging
around.  I moved all the rpms into a separate directory once and just did a
rpm -Uvh *rpm. This got the job done for the German rpms.  It was kinda fun
watching rpm do almost 25 files.=20

Im not sure the SuSE approved way of doing a gnome install; so I usually
just do one big rpm command on things like gnome.

What kind of cable do you use?=20
Coax or TP?
If it is Coax, Is it terminated ok? One terminator in each end.
If it is TP, Is it at crossover cable or do you utilize a hub/switch?

Try pining your localhost first. (127.0.0.1)
Should be ok if the cards are setup right.=20
On the main box, try the mainbox-IP (192.168.0.99)
Should also be ok.
Then go to the old box and ping it (192.168.0.44)
Should also be ok.
Then if both are ok so far and you still cant ping the other,
Check cables, most probably they are faluty.

Hi Michael,

At this point I'm unsure if you are using 'kvt' windows, konsole windows,
or honest-to-goodness xterm windows.  Personally I detest the Xterm and
never use it so know rather littes on the subject.  As for the others, you
should be able to resize it and then Save Settings. =20

I'm also unsure what you mean by 'starting jstar in mutt'.  I use mutt
every day (check my x-mailer!) and do not have any trouble with my use of
kvt's and konsoles.

I _believe_ true xterms get their default size from the X resources.  I
don't know how you would get a different set of these when running KDE
than other windowmanagers, but the likely suspects might be the various X
Resources from app-defaults.. /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults.  Maybe the
environments just happen to suck up different defaults?

Respectfully,

-josh

I just installed Red Hat 6.0 on a 486 (was a Solaris box), and
I think gnome is cute.  Looks quite a bit like KDE to me.

So, does anyone want to pontificate on the pros/cons of
KDE and Gnome?  I used KDE for a while, but had a serious
memory problem with it.  I've been using xfce for several
months now, and am quite happy with it - I'm just looking=20
for some opinions comaring and contrasting the two.

I just wanted to let everybody know that the packages are now available
in the "contrib" directory on ftp.suse.com, too (check
  ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/contrib/i3=
86/madefor60>
). Finally, SuSE assigned somebody to maintain the contrib section.
Hence, everybody should be able to upload and publish contributed RPMs
there now. And I certainly encourage people to do so since it would be
nice to have a large selection of available packages...

Sorry that we cannot have a help line in every country.  As much as I
would like that, it is just not feasable for SuSE right now.

You may want to consider mailing support(a)suse.com which is the support
address for SuSE customers.  Previously, I was answering questions with a
1 day turnaround, although I haven't done it for a week or so.

I look in a variety of places.  Certainly the HOWTOs are a good place to
start.  I sometimes refer to books such as those from O'Rielly.  I
frequently use search engines such as dejanews or google
(htt=
p://www.google.com/>), etc.  If the issue relates to particular
software, I look to www.freshmeat.net for history and homepage location.

What sort of printer is this?  Given your description of it as working as
an 'hpdj' I assume this is an inkjet.  Is it connected by a parellel port? =20
Is this a color printer? =20

More importantly, what exact steps did you take in setting up your
internet connection?  If it is connected to your parallel port, then
routing should not enter into it.

After running this, do you see the process running with a=20
ps aux |grep '[l]pd'

Of course=20

hould also work.

If it's not there take a peek in the various /var/log files to see if any
errors appear when launching the daemon.  If it IS running, then glance at
/etc/printcap to find the logging file for your queue and check that.

Well, an average user is not going to have access to the parallel port.
However this is handled by the lp daemon, which should be running as root,
and this this should not be an issue.  In any event only root has
priveledge to run the program:

-rwx------   1 root     root        44808 Jan 19 21:12 lpd

Not sure what's going on, but it definitely sounds like lpd is out of
sorts.

Here's my methodology.  I hope you don't find it overly brief.

Comment the line which says "lock" in /etc/ppp/options.
Intstall the package 'wvdial' from series 'n', by using YaST.
Start X.
Run wvdial.tcl.
Type in your parameters.
Dial.

That's it.  It's possible you may have some trouble along the way but I
can't account for everthing in one mail.  Post any problems you have.

Respectfully,

I have a Psion5. There's an ftp style client to read/write the
Psion5-filesystem, works very well. There's also an nfs-package for
Psion3/5, but I haven't tried it myself.

You can use the Psion's PPP capabilities to connect to the Linux box, i.e.
to send email, to use Telnet (Psion freeware program 'hermes', speaks
TCP/IP and direct serial connection, great replacement for the built-in
com-program).
Ask me by mail if you need the configuration (I forgot ppp-option
'local' at first... and pppd hung).

Yep.  On a Linux system it will normally want libtermcap.so, unless you
use the switch -static during the build.  On older systems the .a would be
more frequently (or always) used. =20

These are some of those that are searched.  ld.so, the program which does
the runtime linking, is configured by the file /etc/ld.so.conf, so you can
see the settings there.  It stores stuff it /etc/ld.so.cache.  Please
don't muck with this though unless you really know what you're up to :-).

What I really wish I knew was the mechanism by which programs request a
specific version of a library, as the link from libtermcap.so.2 is
present.  In the case of libtermcap, the straightforward symlink Stefan
gave (thanks Stefan!) will work, though not all library major revisions
are backwards compatable so be careful applying this in other cases.

Hello Dick,

I don't mean to be confrontational, but SuSE really has nothing to do with
the ability or inability of the kernel you downloaded and built to compile
the kernel modules you downloaded and built.  SuSE has no control over the
releases on ftp.kernel.org.  If you choose to update the kernel yourself,
then you have to realize that you may encounter some difficulty in doing
so.

In my conf.modules, I have things set up like so:

alias parport_lowlevel    parport_pc
options parport_pc io=3D0x378 irq=3Dnone,none

This might be a good place to start.

Additionally, if you want your system to work properly with a current 2.2
kernel, you should start with the set of update RPMs on ftp.suse.com under
/pub/SuSE-Linux/suse_update/SuSE-6.0/kernel.
Read the README.eng and go from there.

Best of luck,

Hello Tony,

You can use just about anything.  You might want to stick to names you
wouldn't be embarrassed by when your friends come over ;-) but other than
that it's not important.

A hostname should be free of whitespace and periods, and probably most
other reserved UNIX magic charachters like ?*[]\/!.  Most people pick a
string of lowercase letters.  Some examples might be 'jalepeno' or
'rockefeller'.  Some UNIX oldtimers feel it should be 8 characters or less
because some really crusty (badly writter) old program might burp if it is
longer.

The domainname for DNS purposes (what the install asks) must have at least
two parts seperated by a period, such as 'hotpeppers.com' or
'captialists.gov.' =20

This is all for what your computer will "think" of itself as.

Hope this helps,

Hello Robert,

When I'm unsure about mke2fs functionality, I usually do two things.
1) check the block size and feed that manually into mke2fs (probabally
irellevant but a good safeguard.)
2) run badblocks.
A basic run of badblocks can be achieved by a mere mke2fs -c /dev/hdd,
although it can be run in a more intensive way.  (man badblocks).

Do you have other disks that are working in this drive?

Hello from France.

I'm porting an HP-UX X11 product on Linux (Suse distribution) and i
encounter a problem using fvwm window manager.

I move and resize an X11 Window with the XMoveResizeWindow() API and
then i wait for a ConfigureNotify event.

On HP-UX (with mwm) i always get my ConfigureNotify event , even if the
new position and size i give for my window are the same as the current
position and size.

On Linux (with fvwm / fvwm2 /fvwm95), i only get my ConfigureNotify
event if the new position or size i give for my window are different
from the current ones.

May be there's an option in fvwm config to work the same as mwm (i've
been looking in the
man pages but found nothing about it) or may be it's a bug ?.

Any help would be very appreciated.

Thanks.

Michel.

wvdial.tcl is a cute little thing :).  I guess this must be new since wvdial
has replaced suseppp in version 6?  I never tried suseppp but have used
wvdial for awhile and X-isp for awhile.  I still used X-isp on occasion.  I
dont particularly care for kppp since its guilty of murdering so many
daemons. :)

On the subject of xterms and kde.  I hate to combine things, Josh, but
anyways...  With every other window manager; fvwm2, enlightenement,
windowmaker; xterms come up in a highly usable and screen saving size.  Now
enter kde.  KDE produces the most butt-ugly xterms I have ever seen by
default.  I think that KDE does not pay attention to things in .Xdefaults,
.xinitrc, or anywhere else.  I know I can resize them and leave them up and
exit.  But why should I?  KDE should honor those files that attempt to set
defaults for my desktop.  As far as the KDE terminal goes, it seems to take
the mutt window when I call jstar as an editor and shift the usual top title
bar to a spot 3/4 down the KDE terminal's size.  I have tried resizing,
changing fonts, and everything else but it just does it no matter what size
I make the KDE terminal.  My .muttrc simply calls jstar which works fine in
every other xterm, rxvt, etc in any other window manager I use.

If you look at the stdio header, you'll see that sys_errlist will be
defined in stdio.h if __USE_BSD is defined.  This is in turn defined if
_BSD_SOURCE or _GNU_SOURCE is defined over in feature.h.

I'm not sure where this comes from, but I suspect the compiler turns it
on.  I suspect the solution to this problem has a lot more to do with
listen.c's design than with SuSE Linux.  Have you tried poking at the
nettrek FAQ?  You might just compare the two defenitions and kludge
listen.c to match if necessary.

Best of luck,

-josh

It was the sound card!!!
The sb16pnp i hava is not fully supported in Linux
It is almost not supported in win98... (!?!)
It placed itself on DMA 0 wich my linux disliked.
I swapped it with a "ordinary" sb16, which runs just fine!

Here's a guess, hopefully other people will reply.  I haven't tried this
one.
I would think a combination of LILO and rewriting the MBR under Win98
would work.  If you run fdisk /mbr under Win98 will it not rewrite the MBR
with only boot information for Windows? =20
- make a bootable floppy for your Linux install.
- boot win98 and run fdisk /mbr
- boot linux, configure to boot windows and linux and install it in the
mbr.

In the meantime, the problem got solved. I advised my friend to change
CD-ROM drive because I got the info that there are problems with
Pioneer CD-ROMs.

My friend has replaced his Pioneer CD with the friend's BTC CD and
install program works.
Now, he is just waiting me to come with CDs to finish the installation.

I am so happy that there is so much help on this list - it just keeps
me with SuSE.

Pioneer CD-ROm in in another box, coping with Windows, but I'd like to
check your suggestions.
Also, maybe it is worth (if there are more cases) to warn people in
using Pioneer CD-ROM with (SuSE) Linux.
Better to see on the list that there could be a problem than to
complain later.
There are so many CD-ROM drives on the market, so it is really not a
big deal.
Sincerely,
Sasa

Use your .Xdefaults file to setup X properties for xterm or any other

card on SuSE 6.0. Correct ?

However, is it possible to install this video card with *reduced* features,
like a standard SVGA or something, and be able to use KDE anyway ? If yes,
what should I do, knowing that my card (Dragon 4000, from Gainward) is not
listed in SaX.

Thanks for your answer, I'm getting very confused with those matters.

Fred.

Josh,

I am confused.  there are to definitions in stdio.h, but it is a one or the o=
ther situation as defined in the features.h file.  Do you think that both are=
 being defined?
I read the netrek FAQ.  is for how to use the software. so far I have been
unable to find any docs that deal with compile problems for netrek.

thanks for your help

Oh alright I will be crazy... :0)
I downloaded and installed GNOME at work, and got it up and running with
WindowMaker.  I wanted to use Enlightenment but couldn't because it
didn't like my libpng version. I normally run KDE with WindowMaker.  To
be honest I don't see any advantage to running GNOME.  The speed
complaint is crap, KDE/WindowMaker is faster to me.  Memory complaint is
crap, GNOME/WindowMaker takes about the same amount of memory.  I must
admit kfm can get big if using it as a browser, but does gmc have that
ability? (I honestly don't know)  The pixmap theme of GNOME is very
cool, but it is butt slow!  KDE is definitely the more polished
product.... for now at least.  I will give GNOME another shot in a few
months.  Hopefully I will able to use Enlightenment as well.

It's not my intention to spark a flame-war....but I think it should be up to
each individual to choose which desktop is best.  While you prefer KDE, I
myself find it to be much slower than GNOME....and I like the design of most
of the GNOME applications better.  I DO use some Qt apps...but only the ones
I like (licq for instance).  That's the great thing about linux...I can pick
and choose whatever I like without regard to what desktop package it
"belongs" to.

Wrong. Just get the RPM from our ftp-Server:

Using this RPM, you need to "fool" sax or xf86config. If you are using
sax, use "generic server selection" and select SVGA. Make sure, that you
create the following symbolic link first:

        ln -sf /usr/X11R6/bin/XFCom_Banshee /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA

You should now be able to configure the card as usual. However, the server
is not accelerated yet! Also read /usr/doc/packages/xbanshee/README for
further info.

Bye,

I'm pretty sure the cables are OK. I just bought it yesterday to replace the
factory supplied cable.

I've noticed that when I shutdown the system on the old box I get this error
message:

SIOCDELRT: no such process
error while executing
/sbin/route del -net 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev eth0

Another note: yesterday I used the diagnostics disks to test the cards. I was
able to get them to communicate (they just kept sending packets to one anothe=
r)
when I set up my main computer as master and my old box as slave. It would not
work the other way around though.=20
I've searched the net for info on the ISA card (netgear EA201). All I found
were three references about people having problems getting it to work with
Linux. But no answer as to if they were or were not able to get it to work.

Thanks for helping me ;-)

No, you _can_ install a Banshee card into SuSE 6.0, if you couldn't I
wouldn't be able to see this mail right now ;-)

There is a SuSE RPM that can be downloaded from SuSE's web site, also
you can visit http://glide.xxedgexx.com> from where you can get more
information and the latest )non-SuSE) copy of the server. to set up the
SuSE RPM just follow the instructions at
http://www.suse.de/sdb/en=
/html/mkraft_banshee.html>

Hope thie helps.

Hi all,

Just installed SuSE 2.2 on my home machine and want to upgrade the kernel as
a learning exercise.  Is there a useful howto or list of needed updates to
do this?

A link of a page where I can work out what downloads are needed would be
great.

Thanks in advance!

Patrick

Has anyone heard of this one:

When issuing the command net, alias for /etc/suseppp/scripts/ppp-up isp there
is at least a 10 second delay before the modem begins to dial.  Everything
sounds fine (its  internal) but then the connections dies.  Modem started
instantly w/previous setup.  The problem started immediately after I compiled
and installed kernel 2.2.7 and rebooted...booted old kernel and still had the
problem.  Running 6.0 w/32 megs ram and 300Mhz k6  with hayes 33.6 internal
modem.  I got ppp running w/no problems using suseppp when I first got the
disto and have had no problems until now. Here is what /var/log/messages had
to say about it:

 shaolin kernel: CSLIP: code copyright 1989 Regents of the University of
California

Title: I think a kitten was nibbling on my mouse I have finally installed 6.0 on my system and I have finally g= otten Xwindows to install almost perfectly. The one thing that I have not be= en able to do is to get my mouse to work under Xwindows(FVWM, AfterStep, KDE,= etc). I have tried everything that I can think of but Still it is a no go. = Can any one help.

WHY SUSE?
I have tried all of the distributions (Slackware, Caldera,= RH, Debian, WGS) SuSE, seems to be the easiest to work with and the one tha= t I have chosen to stick with. While I will not say that it is perfect, I se= em to have the easiest time with it(being quite the little newbie).

ADDITIONALLY
When every I boot my system, it seems that one of my progr= ams is still receiving a Malloc Error. Does anyone have any experience with = any similar problem.

Thank You!

You're nameserver can be configured in one of three modes (commonly): 1) Recursive Name Server. In this configuration (which is the most common), you act as proxy for DNS lookups and actively try to find the answer to the query directly querying other Name Servers on the Internet. You need a root.cache file (and a cache directive in the configuration file) as well as forwarding turned OFF and recursive queries turned ON 2) Forwarding Name Server. In this configuration, you forward queries you don't have answers for, to another server. The other server is usually a Recursive Name Server. You need to have forwarding turned ON 3) Non recursive/non forwarding Name Server. In this configuration, the server will only answer for domain names it has authoritative information on (ie zone files). It will not do recursive queries or forward the queries. You need to have recursion turned OFF I don't know what your problem may be, but I presume setting up forwarding or making sure you have a recursive setup correctly may fix it. > B) I just can't seem to get my head around MX records.

Let's say I'm trying to send email to jerdfelt(a)suse.com. A MDA (Mail Delivery Agent) will ask DNS for an MX record for suse.com. It'll respond with this: use.com. IN MX 66 mail.alameda.net. suse.com. IN MX 69 mail.suse.de. suse.com. IN MX 42 mail.suse.com. In this case, we have 3 servers setup to accept mail messages for suse.com. It'll try the server with the lowest priority (mail.suse.com in this case). It'll then try to deliver messages destined for suse.com to mail.suse.com. Simple.

It works quite well at 32bit color depth, but I have had problems with it at lesser depths. This is in a Gateway PII-300 system that came with an AccelGraphics card well before they were supported by XFree. I like it well enough that I just bought another AccelGraphics Permedia 2 card from CompGeeks for $40 - a great price. Unfortunately when I tried it out tonight in my home system it wouldn't even boot (one long, three short beeps).

I've stayed with 5.0 since late '= 97 because it ran so well and I didn't want to mess with a dependable system. Not to say that 5.2 and 5.3 weren't fine; I have 5.3 on my machine at work even n= ow. I elected to format the disks and start fresh. It took about 3 hours from putting the boot disk in the drive to having ppp running and X up with a nice, eye-candy WindowMaker theme. The only element that has caused me any headache at all was leafnode, and, rather than mess with it I re-installed from the newest source, which got me my newsfeed again.

A shot in the dark is a very good description of your chances for getting the Permedia2 to work... I never got my Permedia2 to do better than 640x480 (16 colors), which was totally useless with the standard configuration of the windowmanagers (There was NO other way to shut down X than the 3-finger grip and most windows were larger than the screen)=20 Of course it is possible to configure the WMs to be usable at 640x480, but remember, I was (and still am) a newbie, more or less. This specific card was, however, acting weirdly in DOS as well. Many older DOS games could not be convinced that it was SVGA- capable or VESA-compatible... even with display-doctor. I finally replaced the 8MB Permedia2 card with a 4MB S3 ViRGE/GX2 which is happily doing 1280x1024 in 16bit colors. The old DOS games work now, and in WingCommander5 in Win95 it gives better 3D performance and more options...

Your mainboard BIOS attempts to be smarter than you. Some newer BIOSes insist on having one active partition, even if you have LILO in your Master Boot Record (MBR). To circumvent this, just mark the root partition as "active", using fdisk (as mentioned in the other mail).

Furthermore, I am the current maintainer of that > package :^) Forgive me if I am wrong, I think ICE is the one that has OS/2 like themes, and I preferedd the look and feel of that window manager all over the rest, but had trouble running some applications with that one. I am currently using WindowMaker because it is easy to set up and use, but I don't like the way it handles the window sizes etc., I run at 640x480 and some windows just are not right. For example in Netscape preferences, under applications there is no "OK" button, even if I maximise the screen- however in fvwm95 I can move the screen up to get to the "OK" button. However, I still can't set up the colors correctly in fvwm95, I did set root background to lightblu= e, but never figured out how to set red-green-blue values. Is CDE any better? I would not mind purchasing a commercial window manager if if was easy to use and worked well. joe ---------------------------------- E-Mail: jljr(a)globalfrontiers.com Date: 04-May-99 Time: 05:43:35 This message was sent by XFMail ---------------------------------- -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <= A HREF=3D"http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/http://www.suse.com/Suppo= rt/Doku/FAQ/> and the archive at ht= tp://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html> --===============8957130379880060492==-- From grimmer@suse.de Tue May 4 09:57:42 1999 From: grimmer@suse.de To: users@lists.opensuse.org Subject: Re: [SuSE Linux] StarOffice on SuSE 6.1 CDs Date: Tue, 04 May 1999 11:57:42 +0200 Message-ID: In-Reply-To: <19990503231100.B1038@datapro.co.za> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="===============4836578424924530228==" --===============4836578424924530228== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi, On Mon, 3 May 1999, Steve Crane wrote: > On Sun, May 02, 1999 at 04:39:50PM -0500, Ben Rosenberg wrote: > >=20 > > Just to add to this.. try out StarOffice 5.0 Filter upgrade version. >=20 > BTW, is this the version of StarOffice that is on the SuSE 6.1 CDs?

A shot in the dark is a very good description of your
chances for getting the Permedia2 to work...

I never got my Permedia2 to do better than 640x480 (16 colors),
which was totally useless with the standard configuration of the
windowmanagers (There was NO other way to shut down X than
the 3-finger grip and most windows were larger than the screen)

Of course it is possible to configure the WMs to be usable
at 640x480, but remember, I was (and still am) a newbie, more
or less.

This specific card was, however, acting weirdly in DOS as well.
Many older DOS games could not be convinced that it was SVGA-
capable or VESA-compatible... even with display-doctor.

I finally replaced the 8MB Permedia2 card with a 4MB S3 ViRGE/GX2
which is happily doing 1280x1024 in 16bit colors. The old DOS
games work now, and in WingCommander5 in Win95 it gives better
3D performance and more options...

If I were you, I'd go for something else...

Were you using them? Without the proper drivers, included in current and recent SuSE distributions, 640x480 at 16 colors is the best you could do and not very useful. I know, I couldn't use my main office system with Linux for six months because the drivers weren't available. Since they have been available, SuSE has included them. I don't think SuSE would have included them if they didn't work...

Great! That is exactly what I meant! Thank you.

One related question: is there a way to find out at which terminal one
is logging in, so that the xterm sizes, fonts etcetera can be set
properly? (My two screens are 1280x1024 and 640x480 respectively)

i have a diamond fire gl 1000 pro
it's an 8mb agp permedia 2-based card

in fact - that card is the reason i chose suse over every other distro
suse 5.2 was the only one that had the x-server for my card at the time

the permedia2 chipset is very nice - but a bit outdated now
3dlabs are releasing the permedia3 soon - so you might want to hang on for
that

BTW, does Linux gain any advantage with the PIII or is much as MMX?

I'm using SuSE Linux 6.1 on a Pentium 90 with 32 MB EDO Ram, 2MB S3
Trio 64 V2 (no-name brand),  3Com 3c509B TPO NIC, SB Vibra16 PnP
(mostly not used, but have the OSS drivers which I only run on-
demand), primary master IDE is a 3.1 GB WD Caviar with Linux,
primary slave is a 24X CD-Rom, secondary master is a 2 GB Fujitsu
with FreeBSD (dormant and unmounted for the time I'm becoming
comfortable with Linux). Kernel is 2.2.5 I think (standard SuSE 6.1
kernel).

My problem: when running X (and only when running X apparently) the
computer just hard-locks completely.  Can't even ping to it.  At first
I thought it was just X locking up and trapping all signals from the
mouse and keyboard, but since I can't ping to it, it means the whole
OS is locked up.  I'm running KDE 1.1 which is also standard with
SuSE 6.1, and the X server is the S3-specific server.  Haven't tried
using the SVGA server to see if there's a difference though.

If anyone has seen (and hopefully solved) this or similar problems,
or if you know how I can track down what's happening, I'd greatly
appreciate it.  The above info was just to be thourough (maybe a little
too much? :)

Thanks in advance,

Emmanuel
