Hi all:

I am new to SuSE and my host is running. Now it is time for tweaking and
getting it running just right. To this end I have a few questions and I
hope that a good soul out there will take the time to answer. I would
appreciate it.

Q1. How would I find out what exactly is compiled into the kernel?. Is
there a way to see the individual modules with a program in the
X-server?

Q2. Which is the RPM program I need to call up (under X..) to see what
packages are available to me on the PC?

Q3 Is there a KDE user manual somewhere describing the set up of user
menus? I am not able to print with the Linux workstation as I only have
a HP deskjet 720C connected to it. Therefore I would have to save the
file and print it under windoze.

Thank you very much in advance for taking the time to reply.

Sincerely,
Heri Riesbeck

Welcome aboard, but why should I help you?  I don't know you... ;)

> Q1. How would I find out what exactly is compiled into the kernel?. Is

When you are compiling a new kernel, the xconfig interface shows you in a
somewhat visual manner what is available to you.  It's made with Tcl and Tk,
so you need those installed to see it (most systems have both).  If you are
using console-mode methods, there is also a menuconfig mask that is almost
as good (made with ncurses, which most systems have).  To use these tools,
type `make xconfig' in an xterm or `make menuconfig' in a console.

Everyone has a favorite method, but when I make a new kernel, I only use two
commands:

# make mrproper ; make menuconfig ; make dep ; make clean ; make modules ;
make modules_install ; depmod -a

and

# make bzImage ; make bzlilo

I stop after depmod to make sure that my new modules work alright, and I
make a bzImage for no reason in particular.

> Q2. Which is the RPM program I need to call up (under X..) to see what
packages are available to me on the PC?

If you use KDE (the default environment), there is a package in series kpa1
called `kpackage' which is an excellent interface.  It handles several
package formats inculuding tgz, deb, and slp in addition to rpm.  To answer
your question, one kpackage's features is a list of all installed packages.

> Q3 Is there a KDE user manual somewhere describing the set up of user
menus? I am not able to print with the Linux workstation as I only have a HP
deskjet 720C connected to it. Therefore I would have to save the file and

I don't know this one.  I've wondered about this myself.  As far as your
DeskJet, check out <A HREF=3D"http://www.httptech.com/ppa/"><A HREF=3D"http:/=

Coming Soon: Back Orifice 2000
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Niall McKay

An underground computer security group is poised to release a new version of a
notorious software program that could allow crackers to watch and listen in on
Windows-based PC users.

The Cult of the Dead Cow said it will release Back Orifice 2000 on 9 July - at
the annual Def Con convention in Las Vegas.

"This will demonstrate that Microsoft's operating systems are completely
insecure and a bad choice for consumers and businesses who demand privacy," s=
aid
Oxblood Ruffian, a former United Nations consultant and current Cult of the D=
ead
Cow spokesman.

Def Con is perhaps the most unusual gathering in the computer security field.
Hackers, crackers, and self-proclaimed security experts will mingle with medi=
a,
security professionals, federal law enforcement officers, and "script kiddies"
who deface Web pages with prefab cracking code.

Security groups of all stripes use the occasion to release software and show =
off
gadgets. But Back Orifice 2000 is perhaps the most anticipated item.

Unlike previous versions of the software, Back Orifice 2000 will run on Windo=
ws
NT and feature strong encryption and a modular architecture that the group sa=
id
will allow hackers and other security groups to write plug-ins. =20

The program will be released as open source to encourage further development =
by
the security community.

Back Orifice, released at last year's Def Con, may allow malicious users to
monitor and tamper with computers without the permission or knowledge of their
owners.

The program is classified as a Trojan Horse because crackers need to dupe the
user into installing an application on their hard disk. Despite this, Oxblood
Ruffian said that the program is currently installed on up to a half-million =
PCs
worldwide.

Though that number could not be independently verified, an Australian computer
security group last November said that 1,400 Australian Internet accounts have
been compromised by Back Orifice.

Back Orifice 2000 also promises to be a great deal more difficult to detect t=
han
its predecessor because it enables users to configure its port setting.
Previously, intrusion detection and antivirus programs could detect Back Orif=
ice
because it used a default port setting of 3113.

A Microsoft Windows NT Server security manager said the company is closely
monitoring Back Orifice development and is working with antivirus and intrusi=
on
detection software vendors to provide customers with utilities to combat the
software.

"Trojan Horses are not technological issues but a social engineering problem
because they rely on the ability of the cracker to trick the user into running
an application," said Scott Culp.

"It's just a fact of computer science that if you run a piece of code on=20
your machine you run the risk making your system vulnerable."

The solution, according to Culp, is to ensure that users do not install
any=20
software from untrusted sources and regularly update antivirus and=20
intrusion detection programs.

There is  a .config file in your linux directory which should show what was=20
compiled in the last time it was built.
If you do mrproper before running xconfig or whatever, you will revert to a=20

Hi all,

I'm having trouble printing to my Epson Stylus 400.  Every application
(Applix programs and Netscape) I've tried to print from prints with a
vertical offset of about an inch - the top starts at one inch + margin
and the bottom ends about an inch past the end (i.e. it prints on the
next page).  I'm running SuSE 5.3 with Ghostscript 4.03 (not sure what
version of apsfilter). Technical support at SuSE was no help.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
William

Will this prevent users of Win9x from hitting the ESC key and accessing the
machine as a standalone workstation with full rights to the local hard
drive?  I don't see how.  If it does, great!  Tell me more, but I think that
the lack of security in the Win9x environment prevents this requirement.

I've put a copy of my /etc/XF86Config file up for anonymous FTP.

Doh!  Sorry.  I kind of skated around that issue altogether...is the .config
file from the lx_suse.rpm the actual .config that SuSE used for our stock
(eide_01) kernel, though?  Or is it actually the .config from the standard
tree?

the lack of security in the Win9x environment prevents this requirement.

  Marty hit on a very important point.  With NWClient32, the default Windows
username/password box is replaced with a customized one (Novell logo, tabbed
interface for binding vs. context, etc) that a regular user can't get
around.

  I know that there are products like FoolProof32 that would keep a user
from storing *anything* on a local hard drive (we've used it in the same
NetWare 4.11 environment), requiring network shares or floppies for
storage.

  I wouldn't be above using FP32 for local security, but that would add to
the expense of the installation.  I'd rather the user just not be able to
circumvent the initial login screen.

Check out the cable modem FAQ and do some digging on dejanews, freshmeat, etc.

I just got Road Runner, found out about rrdhcpd and rrlogind, downloaded
the package, configured with rrconf, started rrdhcpd and rrlogind and was
high speed surfing in about 15 minutes. Hopefully, @Home will be just as
easy for you.

What this tells you is that your machine is not secure.  You
have too many services enabled in inetd.conf.  For an Internet
connected machine, you really should have NOTHING enabled.

Seriously consider every service you have enabled in 
/etc/inetd.conf, as each one is a potential hole for a cracker
to get in through.  If you don't need FTP, get rid of it.  Most
people don't need time, or pop3, or 90% of anything else in
there.

At the risk of irritating those of you sans humor:

> somewhere.

Well, you can try the ADP (Airlines Documentation Project), but that
HOWTO is
out of date and only covers SeatFSv2; SeatFSv3 isn't really documented
anywhere
yet, as it was only released with the 0.9.4 version of air-tools.  The
"seat"
man page is pretty good, but the "Flotation_Devices_FAQ" has a
surprising amount
of decent information.  One HOWTO you should definitely look into is the
PIS-HOWTO (PIS; Plane Information Services); it allows you to have the
same
seat on every plane, and when used with SeatFS, you can even have the
seat
preadjusted for you, and you always get the same spot in the plane. 
I've had
problems getting PIS to work with Shadow Seating, but others tell me
they've
had no problems at all.  Maybe it's an SME (Symmetric Multi Engine)
problem. 
Oh yeah, try Sambair; it let's you use your Linux or UNIX seats on a
Windows or
NT plane, and when they crash, you don't die.  Plus, oddly enough, you
always
get where you're going faster.

Hi Jim,
So far I've not been able to get this new CD to run at all. I can't even
get the CD tray to open! (Should the tray open without a driver?)

Yes, it should!!! It sounds like your CD is not in function at all!

I will admit that the diskette that has the Dos driver on it is bad. So I
can't
install the newst Dos/Win driver. But I thought that I could at least get it
to run under Linux. So I went into Yast, to sys admin, to inter. hardware
into
system, CD-rom Config, took the ATAPI/E-ide option, then took the master on
controller 3 option. I took the controler 3 option (/hde) because I thought
that that the first card has controler 1 and 2, but I may be wrong. BTW I
put the new CD-Rom jumpers on master, but my old CD drive does not have
jumpers at all. So I'm not for sure wether it should be master or slave.

HDA - controller 1 master
HDB -  controller 1 slave
HDC - controller 2 master
HDD - controller 2 slave
You must choose the available controller. If you have not any HardDrive on
controller 2 you can choose HDC!! If you have some HardDrive on it you
have know if it is master or slave. You can NOT have two "things" as master
or
slave on the same controller!!!

I hope this helps!

Vidor

Sorry about the long post but I want to get all the info in front of you
as possible. What do you think?

TIA!

Okay, I have more info on libz/zlib and I need more info on libz/zlib.

First:
I read more on "linking" objects. 
The program I was trying to compile erased an error:
"/usr/i486-linux/bin/ld: cannot open -lz: No such file or directory"

-lz means the linker will look for the file libz.<so/a> in
the built-in library path and any dirs specified by -L<dir> with the
invocation.
The infamous libz package install libz.<so/a> in /usr/X11R6/lib instead of
installing it in /usr/lib. There it installed libgz.<so/a>. I would like to
have information about this, especially if compared with the RH approach for
the zlib library because they install libz only in /usr/lib and didn't change
any name in libgz.

There are two ways to solve the problem:

1) Add the line "-L/usr/X11R6/lib/" to the compiler options (which I should do
every time I compile a package which requires the libz library)

2) Create a few symbolic links:
/usr/lib/libz.a -> /usr/X11R6/lib/libz.a
/usr/lib/libz.so -> /usr/X11R6/lib/libz.so.1.1.3
/usr/lib/libz.so.1.1.3 -> /usr/X11R6/lib/libz.so.1.1.3

3) There is one more way :-) : Create a new libz/zlib package with the proper
patch.

Second:

In the Red Hat zlib/libz package there are, above others:
zlib.h
zconf.h
zutil.h

in SuSE libz/zlib zutil.h is missing.

Hope people at SuSE will give me some more details on this topic.

Thanks.

The way I understand it... it's libc6.0 (not glibc6.0) which is the same
thing as glibc2.0, to my knowledge there's no such thing as glibc6.0...

glibc6.0 was most likely the result of a type by an over-zealous typist. ;-)

You have three options.  You could recompile your kernel for generic serial
support as a module.  Or you could edit /etc/conf.modules so the line that
reads `alias char-major-4 ..' reads `alias char-major-4 off'.  Or you could
just ignore it.  It isn't hurting anything, trust me.

I've heard of many 5L's that work.  I understand that you're frustrated,
though.

Two things to remember:  First, the driver is a beta module.  Second, you
can't win *every* time (unless you are me :) ).

I have found that as well.  How fast is your CPU?  How much RAM?

WVDial is the easiest, with pppsetup (available from Slackware mirrors)
being my second choice.  wvdial.rpm is on disc 1, I think, under series n1.
Install it, run it, kill it.  Edit /etc/wvdial.conf, run it again *!BOOM!*
Internet access!

Good luck, Dennis!

You can say that again.  Having used Linux for three years, I've grown quite
occustomed to the relaibilty and speed of it's operation.  I've used FreeBSD
and OS/2 (3&4), which offer similar speed and reliability, but the user
communities aren't as ... colorful.

I like Linux.  I like the little stuffed penguin next to my monitor.  I like
free software that was meant to be free.  I like having the license (if not
the inclination) to peruse the source code and change it as I see fit.  I
like knowing that there are others like me (you folks!).

Steve,

You need to add it to the end of their ".profile".  .profile is only
run on login time, whereas .bashrc is run for each shell (including an
xterm.)

Look at the INVOCATION section of the bash manual page if you want
more explanation about this.

By the way, a slight efficiency hack would be to do "exec startx",
instead of "startx".; that takes care of automatically logging out for
you too :).  

You might also want to check what terminal they're logging into, so
that you don't try to start X for users  who will be logging in over
the network.

I've already posted this tonight, but in case you missed it..:)

Mandrake does seem to be a little 'snappier', that is to say, it's not
faster really, but it feels quick.  When you initiate something, like
opening a KFM window, the display reacts quicker.  That does not mean that
it comes up in less time, it just starts moving immediately (does that make
any sense?).

LinuxConf has evolved a lot since the last time I played with it.  The
interface is friendly, but not overly bloated.  Network configuration was
very easy, which leads me to the decision that Mandrake will be on my
gateway box.  I installed YaST (yeah, it worked :) ), so I'm not missing any
administration tools.

I haven't had a chance to compile a kernel yet (which is the only thing that
I ever care about as far as speed), but that really shouldn't be any
different.

> Would be interested to know how it works out.

It's working out well.  Not well enough for me to leave SuSE, but it is
nice.  Maybe I'll teach my girlfriend on a Mandrake box...maybe not.

I have an HP-Pavilion 6470Z which, to my horror, is even worse than the
dreaded WinModem. The Riptide (made by who used to be Rockwell) is an
OEM "solution" that passes for a 56K modem, sound card, MIDI interface
and virtual game controller - all which work, in software, under
Windows....but not under Linux. My guess is that I have to get another
modem and sound card for Linux. Right?

Gotta add that my experience with Linux Mall was dam fine. I recomend them
highly.

Now, I am off on a holiday, to soak in the "prune machine...." Ok, spa.   :-)

But will only have access to Crash95. Doh! Gotta buy a laptop...

Evening:

Here's one I haven't seen before, and was wondering if anyone else has run
into it.  When I boot up my computer, I use DHCP to get the IP address for
eth0, and I statically assign eth1 to 192.168.1.1.  Now, before doing
anything this last reboot, I happened to do an ifconfig.  Here are the
results:

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:80:19:35:9A:D6
          inet addr:192.168.1.4  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:15 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:5 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:100
          Interrupt:10 Base address:0xec00

eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:80:19:35:9A:0B
          inet addr:192.168.1.1  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:36 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:100
          Interrupt:15 Base address:0xdc00

lo        Link encap:Local Loopback
          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
          UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:3924  Metric:1
          RX packets:6 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:6 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0

Note on eth0, it has an IP address that looks like it was assigned for an
internal, non-routable network, not the one my provide sends to me.  Now,
as soon as I do anything Internet related, ping, traceroute, etc., here is
what ifconfig shows:

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:80:19:35:9A:D6
          inet addr:24.218.83.113  Bcast:24.218.83.255  Mask:255.255.252.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:323 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:11 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:100
          Interrupt:10 Base address:0xec00

eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:80:19:35:9A:0B
          inet addr:192.168.1.1  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:53 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:100
          Interrupt:15 Base address:0xdc00

lo        Link encap:Local Loopback
          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
          UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:3924  Metric:1
          RX packets:6 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:6 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0

Note now that the eth0 address is correct.  It appears to me that
something is filling in the interface information to start off, possibly a
wrong piece of info somewhere, and then when I need to actually use the
connect, it rights itself.  Anyone know what I may not have configured
correctly, or where to start tracking this down?

- Mike

I have had a problem with SuSE 6.0 and (upgrade to) 6.1, usually using
KDE--the system locks up -- completely; the only way to regain control
is hit the power switch. This is on an HP Pavilion, PII 400 with 96MB
RAM, 4GB Linux partition, 130MB swap, ATI Mach 64, Netgear FA 310TX
ethernet card (that I haven't been able to set up properly for a
personal network, so I have disabled it) and a Riptide
modem/sound/MIDI/game card (not recognized by Linux).

I've run Slackware on another computer (P166), also using KDE, and have
never crashed Linux itself, although X programs bite it every so often
(and can be recovered from by exiting X and starting a new X session).

Now, I haven't tried Slackware on the HP (nor put SuSE on the P166), but
since the HP works with few problems under Windows 98 (after a lot of
thrashing when I first got it; problems which were fixed by installing
BIOS software and a couple of driver upgrades that should have been
installed before the computer was released by HP) I would expect no
problems with SuSE Linux.

I am assuming that, since the HP works with Windows 98 (which crashes no
more nor less than other Windows systems I've used), that the hardware
is OK. The question is: should I re-install SuSE 6.1 (kernal 2.2.7), or
change some modules to newer versions posted at SuSE? What is the best
way to re-install (whilst keeping my programs and data files)?

In addition, when I first tried Enlightenment I got nothing but a
screenful of text telling me "not to use libpng1.0.2" because it is
"broken" and to use version 1.0.1 instead. Looking at the library, there
is a long section of comments on how the version numbering is/was
incorrect. I found that, even when I specified KDE as my X GUI that the
just-mentioned screen would come up anyway, reaching KDE only after
exiting (what would have been) Enlightenment. Finally, I removed
Enlightenment, clearing up the problem but not the reasons they had
happened.

Yes..you can use the tarball from kernel.org...just delete the linux
symbolic link in /usr/src untar the new source and change the linux dir name
to something like linux-2.2.10 and create a new linux symbolic link to the
new source dir.

You will still have the SuSE src tree also just in case...

  Yep, piece of cake to do also.

  1. download the source
  2. create a directory md /usr/src/linux-2.2.10
  3. remove the old symlink rm -rf /usr/src/linux
  4. create a new symlink ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.2.10 /usr/src/linux
  5. copy .config to new linux directory or run make mrproper to
     start from scratch.
  6. configure and make kernel/modules

  Another option to save bandwidth is the following

  1. cp -dpr /usr/src/linux-2.2.7 /usr/src/linux-old (in case of oops)
  2. download patches 2.2.8 - 2.2.10
  3. patch old kernel
  4. rename /usr/src/linux-2.2.7 /usr/src/linux-2.2.10
  5. do steps 3 - 6 from above procedure

  This second is assuming you used the the standard kernel sources not
the suse modified sources. Otherwise I would recommend the first
procedure.

i don't think i did ANYTHING with symlinks, but i was able to compile the
new kernel (i added a `linux' symlink to the 2.2.10 source directory when i
was done)

That's the symlink I was talking about.  Nothing more...:)

I think he said he got an rpm.  I did, too.  Rather foolishly, I ran the
rpm -U command.  Although it didn't "install" kernel 2.2.7, it did put it in
the right place (in what, /usr/src or something like that?).  And then I was
advised that I had to go through the install process.   These are the steps
that I followed:

rm -rf /usr/src/linux
ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.2.7.SuSE /usr/src/linux
cd linux
make menuconfig
make dep
make clean
make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install
mv /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz
/sbin/lilo
reboot

Don't forget to cp vmlinuz vmlinuz.old (or something like that) just in case
something goes wrong.

I do each make step separately, because if there's an error at any point,
I'm more likely to see where it is.

I think I had to restart the process (with make menuconfig) once due to an
error during make dep, but that
may have been when I did an upgrade to 2.2.5 from 2.0.36.

Anyway, it's chugging along, and by installing 2.2.7 I was able to add the
minux file system (which I'd inadvertently omitted in the 2.2.5 install)
back in, and I could make a boot floppy.

What does netstat -nr show when your eth0 shows the 192.168 network,
and what does it show afterwards?

Hang on!  If you installed the RPM properly, the ./linux *already* points to
./linux-2.2.7.SuSE, and doing an `rm -rf' will destroy your new tree!  Try
`ls -l /usr/src' first to check.

I read the above and agreed but what do you do, as it is right now, I would
have to pay the $400.00 for Linux would do me no good. I have SUSE 6.1
sitting on the shelf in front of me and lack the knowledge and skills to get
it on my hard drive. I know that it is impossible for anyone to spend more
time in the how to's and man pages than I do and after spending that time
(10 hrs yesterday), I sit back and say to myself, OK, now if I knew what
they was talking about that would be a real good article, (I can feel the
flames coming my way already).
Yesterday, I was downtown and I asked our GURU, if he had any good basic
Unix or Linux books, his reply was "Is that a new windows program, and he
was serious". I am now (unofficially ) taking Henry"s course and plan to
spend a lot more time there than anywhere else. I have 7 months computer
experience (crashing in windows), and am dumber than heck about computers,
70 something yrs old (ant nonbodys business, ha). There are seven of us
trying and getting no where fast, but refuse to give up.
Now for then the reason for all this rambling, until something such as, a
new site for real basic (and I mean basic, like that is not a T.V., it is a
monitor), Redmond has it made. Ignorance of computers and how to get Linux
on your computer is Redmond best friend. How many people have tried and
failed to use Linux? John found 82 on one chat channel, and he asked did you
read the man pages and the how to's, and they said "who can understand
them", Henry's (I really respect that man) course, skips and hop's around so
much it's hard to put or tie it together, but if you try hard enough, its
possible. No I am not crying, or complaining, just trying to give another
view. First you must have a foundation, then you build on it. Enough
rambling. Oh yea I have 5 books and I can read and I do, but if I was to
give you a print and a book, could you pick the right metal, the right
tools, and set up a Mazak 25n Quick turn lathe and program it and turn out a
part within .0005, and all holes within .001, well I can, dont forget to set
home, and dont forget you are using the cortisian coordinate system when you
are programming it.. Forgive any mistakes for I cant type either.

You did real well in explaining how to install SUSE and you could never know
how much I appreciate it, you straightened 2 things out that had been
confusing me, I had gone to the how to's and got back and you and one other
kind gentleman (Samy Elashmawy)  had come back to me and I almost fell on
the floor. I had previously posted a message and no one came back to me. The
thing that has been stopping me is that I have 2 hard drives  and I have
Caldera on the first part and I wanted SUSE on the second part (the reason
for wanting SUSE is they have so much more documentation than Caldera plus
this list is more informative than Caldera's). I had wiped my computer out 4
times trying to install SUSE and had to reload windows on hda and Caldera on
hdb plus all my files and programs.
I have a HP 8390, ATI Graphics 8mg ram (mach 64), 384 ram, 100mhz board,
Zoom 56K 2919 Jumperable modem, Esoniq Sound card 1371 chip, HP 895CSE
printer p3 language, Zip SCSI, LS 120 IDE, WD (hda) 8gig IDE, WD (hdb)
4.2gig.
What I would like to do is install SUSE without wiping out my computer, it
gave an error of  not enough space. I will get the exact message it gives
and get back to you if I dont wipe my computer out, or will be back in a
couple of days if I do wipe it out.
thanks a million
Nathaniel

Caldera does just that, I have Caldera 2.2 on hdb and now have installed
SUSE on the same drive. Boy did I ever get install shock, even though, I had
read through the book twice. I felt deprived of a learning experance when I
installed Caldera, because I wanted so much to understand more about Linux,
thus the install of SUSE. The problem I was having was not the install of
SUSE itself (although I dont want to do it again today), but how to put it
on hdb ext 2, and get system commander to boot it, that was my problem. To
give an example of how hard Caldera is to install, Barry, 76 yrs old, 40
days computer experance, talked to me about it for an hour and went home and
installed it, now if he can just figure out how to make all those programs
come out of that big K (just joking about the K). We 5 old goats get
togather and drink coffee and try to make sence out of linux. John got us
interested in computers and we ordered mine, but unfortunately, left this
world before it arrived, and so, we were left to learn on our own.
I will say this, if SUSE ever decides to follow Caldera on its type of
install, both expert and fully automatic, look out world, move over, for
SUSE has your number.

Subject: [SLE] Kppp,WvDial and the kernel

Hello everyone,

I have a couple of questions that you may be able to help me with:

1) When I try to get online with Kppp as a non-root user I get the much
dreaded 'pppd deamon died unexpectedly' message. Why is that? There are
no problems with Kppp at all when I go online as root.

2a) After configuring WvDial the following line appears repeatedly when
I boot my system;=20
modprobe: Note: /etc/conf.modules is more recent than
/lib/modules/2.2.10/modules.dep=20

Does that mean I need to recompile the kernel?

b) When using WvDial as a non-root user I get these extra lines during
the dialup;

-->Warning: Could not modify /etc/ppp/pap-secrets: Permission denied
--> --> PAP may be flaky
--> --> CHAP may be flaky

There are no problems with establishing a connection at all, however.

3) The directory /usr/src contains the following files; linux
                                                        linux-2.2.10
                                                        linux-2.2.10.SuSE
                                                        packages
What can I get rid of when I install a new kernel?

I'd really appreciate any kind of help with these issues. Please keep in
mind that I'm a total newbie.

For what it's worth ... I spoke to SuSE USA last week.  The lady I spoke to
indicated that they would be using a fulfillment center from now on.  She
claimed that the delays and problems would be a thing of the past.

Hi All:
        I've run into the problem of dropped connections on the digital signa=
ls
here in Seattle.  Analog signals don't seem to have this problem.  Others
I've talked have mixed experience, some with no problems and others getting
a high rate of drops.  My ISP says they are working on it (six months now)
but it MAY be a telco problem.
        Anyone have any more info on this?

Tom

As a Linux newbie I had thought this was expected behaviour - 
in fact, I hadn't noticed it until you mentioned it. Now I'm
wondering!

Been running 6.1 (2.2.7) installed via Yast straight from the 
distro CDs - a fairly complete installation as I had enough
HDD space. I don't think I've corrupted it too much yet....

Thanks, but this just copies the proper files to your local GNUstep

Will this be a problem in 6.2?

<STRONG>attached mail follows:</STRONG><HR>


Just to follow up on my own message. After having tried recompiling the isdn
tools and upgrading to the 2.2.10ac kernel and still getting the "network is
down" message, I bit the bullet and downgraded to the 2.2.5 kernel with the
result that isdn works fine again. So, I guess isdn is really broken in the
newer kernels distributed with RedHat 6.0/Mandrake 6.0, and possibly in the
upcoming 6.2 SuSE release (unless they find some patches to fix it or get a
new [as yet non-existing] release that fix it).

I keep getting errors in my Syslog saying that there is a hardware mismap 2
or 3. Once this occurs my internet connection is lost and the only way is a
cold reboot.

Does this mean my Ethernet card is on the way out? I am goign away for 2
weeks and need to know what to replace. Using 2.2.10 and Suse 6

Thanks, Rafael. It's actually:

lpr -Praw file.html
lpr -Pascii file.html

but this does seem to get the job done.

Hi All - 

General question regarding a decent hd for a dual boot system ie, which
large hard drive (6.4Gm or larger) is best?

This wouldn't be an issue, but I'm doing a contract in a couple of
weeks, and need to use Whine95. 

The contractee provided an 8.4G Western Digital which was an utter
lemon, and so i need to find something that will allow normal
installation of both SuSE & Win95.

Does anyone have news about Quantum 6.4G? Or are they, too, with too
many cylinders for SuSe to live with Win95 on?

TIA -

It seems that starting with the 6.x series of Linux (based on my experience w=
ith
RH 6.0...with the java fix in place...as well as Suse 6.1), Netscape 4.5x and
higher has been very prone to intermittent lockups...seemingly java related. I
came very close today to nuking both these RH & SuSE and going back to Mandra=
ke
5.3 which has always been rock solid for me. Increasingly we are computing in=
 a
browser centric environment, and since Netscape has no strong replacement at
hand, an unstable Netscape is a show stopper for me.

Before taking this unfortunate step, I decided to try loading the last version
of Netscape I found to be very stable...4.08. It is available by ftp from the
Netscape site. I dl'ed and installed it OVER the existing 4.51 SuSE version
hoping that this would keep scripts and Help links in place. Well  'lo and
behold, Netscape at version level 4.08 no longer freezes on several sites that
routinely caused java lockups, and all the Help links seem to still function
fine.

So, for whatever it's worth, this has worked out well for me...next I think
I'll ry the same thing on my RH 6.0 load.

`ksound' and the other is either the line above or the line below.

Here's a beauty -

keep doing it until you specifically tell it to stop.

About $75.00US...and worth every dime! 8)

In both cases (i.e. running OK with static address or trying to run DHCP
client) it shows:

Hi again all,

If I was to upgrade my SuSE 5.3 to 6.2 what will actually change? I've never =
had
to upgrade a dist' before so I've no idea what to expect.

Will I have to recreate the user accounts and reinstall the software, even the
packages that aren't supplied on a dist'? Will my all of my mod's to the vari=
ous
config files have to be redone? I recall having a lot of problems with ppp and
sendmail - I'd rather not go through all that again! I run a mailing list for=
 my
local footy club and would prefer not to be offline for a couple of weeks whi=
le
I reconfig everything.

Any input gratefully received,

T.

If I use KFM or KMAIL and click on a JPEG file, StarOffice launches (which
takes forever), and I'm trying to eliminate memory leaking software from my
system.

So how do I get KDE to display a picture using the picture browser instead of
StarOffice?

Nothing will be added. As Lenz announced on this list, after the
complaints that we changed something in the second round of 6.1 weŽve
decided that from now on we wonŽt change anything, unless itŽs a severe
bug/show stopper.

Subject: [SuSE Linux] Compiling 2.2x kernel with sound

I can't succeed in this. I tried three versions : 2.2.5, 2.2.7, 2.2.9. My
sound card is a Sound Blaster compatible and I know how to compile the
2.0.36 kernel for it. With the 2.2.x versions, during compiling I don't
see anything wrong; however when I call the sound module with (lsmod or by
trying to use a program which needs sound), I get the following messages:

/lib/modules/2.2.9/misc/sound.o: unresolved symbol unregister_sound_dsp
/lib/modules/2.2.9/misc/sound.o: unresolved symbol unregister_sound_midi

Karl,

How about if I want to send a phone number??  I printing to a fax engine
that emulates a PCL 5.  I would love to be able to pass a -o
651-457-1212 and it would reach the interface script.

thanks

lach

SuSE and Redhat are both available for a pittance. Linux is free,
remember! You need to look closely at the packages, consider what level
of suport you might need, etc, then decide how much you want to pay for
it. RH's support is somewhat better than SuSE's (last time I looked), so
maybe the RH package is better value? If you're happy to go it alone
without support or manuals, the price is negligable.

> I also read that SuSe is finding wide acceptance in the USA. Is this correc=
t?

Dunno, but I've seen SuSE 6.1 much more frequently in the UK than RHL
6.0. Maybe that's just because SuSE6.1 is older?

> I realize that each distribution has their own characteristics and that

That depends on the novice. If the novice just wants to plug it in and
watch it happen, I would say SuSE is not suitable. COL2.2 is probably a
better bet. If the novice is keen to learn and won't be phased by
problems, and is prepared to ask for help on here (amongst other places)
SuSE may be OK. I've been running SuSE for a few weeks now, and I'm
getting used to it, but my feeling is still that it is more suited to
someone who knows what they are doing. This is bourne out in all the
reviews I've read. eg. I've seen reviewers sing the praises of RHL's
linuxconf admin tool, but I've never seen much enthusiasm for YaST
(expect on here). My experience bears this out: I still find YaST
unintuitive and linuxconf is still the thing I miss most from my old RHL
setup.

My advice, if you have the time, is to buy both the distro's without
support from Linuxmall (or somewhere) for a couple of bucks each, then
try them both. Do SuSE first, since it's undoubtedly the more powerful
and complete distribution. See how far you get without the official
support package. You'll probably answer your own questions in an
afternoon.

If you don't have the time, or you're not up for a potential fight,
RHL6.0, with it's better support and slicker admin is probably the
better choice for the novice, or COL2.2 for the complete novice.

(Hey, no flames (like last time I gave this opinion)! The guy is asking
for opinions, and this is mine. It remains mine after using SuSE6.1 for
several weeks.)

I have a Tyan 1846S/L/A with built in sound and I use OSS and it works
great.  I couldn't get sound to work with the kernel, but after
installing the new version of OSS, the sounds is working.

Me too. It seems that if it goes slow with one kernel, but not the
other, and that is the ONLY thing you change between the boots, the
problem MUST be the new kernel. Patching up kernels shouldn't require
you to upgrade other libraries or utilities.

Things to try:

Move your current /usr/src/linux (or whatever) to one side and get the
original kernel and it's config off of the CDs. Recompile that kernel
(2.2.5) with the config you want and see if that goes slowly. This will
tell you whether your problem is the kernel version or the config you
want.

Get the patches for 2.2.6/7/8/9/10 and try each one in turn, both with
the original SuSE config and the config you want. Somewhere you'll find
the trigger which sets your problem off.

Try asking in one of the Linux newsgroups. This doesn't appear to be a
SuSE specific problem and you might get more details from a wider range
of Linux users.

Folks,

Has there been some incident on the list over the weekend?

I got into the office this morning to find precisely no emails from it. 
 Looks like something occurred around midnight Thursday..

Any ideas?  I'm not the only person who's been hit by this - another guy here 
is having similare problems.  It may be down to the mail server at our 
end....but I wonder.

Don't think so. We use a very much newer version of the ISDN subsystem
(Alan even put it in proposed 2.2.11). The core ISDN developer is a SuSE
employee.

Hi all

We are about to switch from Windows NTserver to SuSE-Linux servers in our 
company.
All Win95 can correctly log in, execute the logonscript, and use a roaming 
profile, nothing but good.

But... Here's the 'but...'-part:
There are are some users that hava a Windows NT-workstationbox and they 
also need to login on the LINUX-server.
The way we do it now is als follows: At the networking installation, the 
Computer is added to the Linux-workgroup, named Develop.
All users that log in on the Windows NT workstations have an account on the 
linux-server, so they can use the printers and shares, but i also needed to 
create a local account on the NT Workstation-box. Is there a way to avoid 
this, so that I only have one userdatabase, and can I add a NT-workstation 
to something as a Linux-Domain, equivalent to the NT-domain?

Greetinx in advance, Hans Bouwers

Hi folks, Need a little help hear.

Have a smba server running nicely. Went over to the win98 machine and added
the host file with the names and ips , ant they are working.

However every time I for a ping on one of the machines , ie ping
linux.workgroup on the win98 machine ,m, it brings up the dialer and starts
to dial into the isp to make a connection. I can cancel out go back to the
dos winndow , and the ping goes through. 

How do I get the dialer only to dial out when accessing the isp and not the
rest of the network ??

Second question  on ip masq.

I want to use the samba server for ip masq and firewalling , will this put
to much load on it . Only 4 too five machines here.

Will ip masq work with the stock 6.0 2.0 kernel ? Does it use a module or
is it built into the kernel ? or will I need to recom[pile the kernel.

Next , will the ip masq work with the win98/5 machines , so wen they want
to access the Internet , they will go through the linux server via ip masq
? Right ? How is this set up on the windows machine , or is this
transparent with ip masq ? (thats why I want the ip masq , so the other
machines can access the Internet with out putting modems in all the machines.

Third , how hard is it for the fire wall install. does this require modules
, or kernel rebuild ? Vi SuSE 6.0 kernel 2.0 ?

thanks all for your patience.

Hi,

I've used a Maxtor 8Gb drive for sometime now with no problems
running a multi boot system with Win95 (more recently 98), NT 4,
and Linux (now SuSE 6.1).

As far as I know the problme with win95 over the 1024 cylinder limit
is BIOS specific. If your BIOS supports > 8Gb your fine, otherwise
you may need a software work around. I personally favour multiple
disks (2 8Gb disks is great!). I have one PC with 14Gb drive which
has no problems with Win98 or Linux, although LILO won't boot over the
8Gb.

My Hard disk is configured as...

Disk 1
2Gb Windows NT 4.0 (NTFS)
2Gb Win98 (FAT32)
4Gb SuSE 6.1

Disk 2
128Mb Linux Swap
2Gb DOS 6.22 (FAT-16)
2Gb EXT2FS
4Gb FAT32

I use the freeware dos program PART to boot multiple partitions. You
simply select which paritition to boot (1,2,3 or 4) and it makes it the
active partition before booting it. So I don't fiddle around with NT
Bootloader or LILO, only to boot their own OSs.

Hope that helps

Regards
Rik Dunphy

Hi All - 

General question regarding a decent hd for a dual boot system ie, which
large hard drive (6.4Gm or larger) is best?

This wouldn't be an issue, but I'm doing a contract in a couple of
weeks, and need to use Whine95. 

The contractee provided an 8.4G Western Digital which was an utter
lemon, and so i need to find something that will allow normal
installation of both SuSE & Win95.

Does anyone have news about Quantum 6.4G? Or are they, too, with too
many cylinders for SuSe to live with Win95 on?

TIA -

Mark the text with Ur mouse (by letting button 1 pressed) then go whereover
you want to paste the selected text and press mice's third button (or in

Hi Stathy:
        I'd strongly recommend the book "Device Drivers", one of the O'Reilly=
 book
series.  Don't know the authors name offhand (I'm at work) but you should
be able to find it at any major bookstore, library, some computer superstores.
        You also may be able to use XF86Setup and look for the video chipset =
the
m/b uses.

hi,

Is anyone else thinking of getting a Penguin tattoo???  My wife is going
out of town in 2 weeks.  I thought I'd get one then.  Or maybe the
Penguin on one arm and the SuSE Lizard  on the other.

Any websites with the best penguin image or SuSE Lizard Image??

Thanks

Thanks for all the suggestions on getting the system sounds for KDE enabled. =

Does anyone know how colour is set in an XPM image?

Is it limited to a 12 bits depth?

Any suggested format in order to create an animation by sending images to a

Many thanks.

I can't get my box to powerdown when i run poweroff or halt -p
I run a patched Kernelsource (2.2.6 to 2.2.10)with amp support
kompiled into the kernel.
I did work BEFORE i reinstalled suse 6.1 from scratch due to a 
disk crash.
It is no matter if i use 2.2.6 from the box, 2.2.7.SuSE or 
the patched 2.2.10. It is still no go.
I have checked the boot messages, and it states that it IS the 2.2.10
so i do run the new kernel.
It also states:

apm: BIOS version 1.2 Flags 0x07 (Driver version 1.9)

o i guess it is there...

What can be the problem?

Here's what I do:
In an xterm, highlight the text using the mouse.
In the other app (Netscape composer, xterm, whatever), press both
left and right mouse buttons (I have third button emulation on).

StarOffice and the Nirvana Editor will use the Edit | Copy and
Edit | Paste functions just fine.  Sometimes StarOffice is a 
little finicky.

There should be no problem with this in general. The general procedure
for copy/paste of text between xterms is:

1. place the mouse pointer over the first character of text to be copied

Then, EITHER

2. holding the left button down, move the mouse to the end of the text,
   thus blocking it (it will be highlighted)

OR

3. click the left button on the first character, move the mouse to the
   last character, and click the right button (this can also be used
   to "extend" an existing blocking)

THEN

4. move the mouse to the other xterm (which could be the same one,
   if you want to copy within the same application), raise the window
   for input if necessary, move the mouse to where you want insertion
   to start, and then click the middle button (or left and right
   buttons together if you are in "emulate-3-buttons").

At this point the blocked text should go straight into the second window
at the insertion point.

You can use this technique to copy/paste between practically any pair of
text-based applications (e.g. from Netscape into an editor or into
WordPerfect, etc; from  mail message into Netscape's "open URL"
dialgure; or whatever).

However, if you are copying into a VIM window, FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE MAKE
SURE IT IS IN INSERT MODE BEFORE YOU CLICK THAT MIDDLE BUTTON.

If it is in command mode, then whatever you have picked up with the mouse
will act as commands to vim with, as they say, "unpredictble results".

Some applications (e.g. XFMail) are a bit temperamental about what they
will allow to be copied in this way: you will just have to learn by trial
what they will allow or not allow.

This method will fail if you try to copy from any application which
displays text as a rastered rendering (e.g. ghostscript), since by the
time the display of the characters has appeared on screen the characters
themselves no longer exist as separate entities.

Similarly, in most cases it is impossible to copy/paste graphics in this
way. Some graphics applications are specially programmed to permit it,
but this is on a program-by-program basis. You cab "grab" a pixel bitmap
of an area of the X screen using the xgrabsc program, and store it in a
file; it is then available for any program that can import the file.

If you are using WABI to run MS applications, there is an interesting
interface which operates via the MS "clipboard".

To copy text from an xterm into, say, Word, first block the text as above
in the xterm. Then switch to the Word window in WABI. At this point, the
blocked text is in the "MS clipboard" (by magic) so you just use the
"paste" facility in Word to plant it in the Word editing window.

Similarly vice-versa: in Word, block the text and copy it to the
"clipboard". Then switch to the xterm, choose your insertion point,
and press the middle button (this can sometimes give funny results
owing to Word's encoding; similar for WordPerfect).

Hope this helps,
Ted.

You don't have a backup of all of your config files?  I have copies of every
config file on all of my machines, conveniently stored in one place (a hard
drive - that way, if my hard drive craps out . . . ).  Seriously, Bill Gates =

taught me a very important lesson: Don't store anything on a computer you
don't want to lose.  It's amazing what you can save on a floppy disk. One
floppy has all of my laptop's config files, so if I have to reinstall (my
Fujitsu hard drive dies after three days of continuous operation), when I'm
done, all I need to do is copy my floppy back over and I'm back on-line.

> Any input gratefully received,

Biggest pitfall I can see is your printer.  The 2.2 kernel renumbered the
printer port.

I would perform a complete reinstall.  I upgraded 5.2 to 5.3 and had a couple
packages never work correctly.

  You should be able to hi-light the text in one window, and then in
the other window, click with the middle button to paste the contents
that were hi-lighted. That is if you have a 3 button mouse/controller.
Other wise I believe you need emulate third button enabled through
XF86Config which when pressing the left and right button at same time,
acts like a middle button.

Do you have the DNS addresses set on the masqueraded machine?  They
are in /etc/resolv.conf.

Select the text you want to copy with the left mousebutton. Make the
other xterm 
(or wherever you want to paste it) active and middleclick to insert. If
you use
3-button emulation click both buttons. 
The selected text should now be inserted:)

It's a good idea to practice a bit first before pasting someting
important.
I accidently flooded an irc-channel (BitchX in an xterm) by clicking a
bit too
fast :)) I managed to select the whole window and paste it in. I got
nervous of
loosing control of the mouse and accidently pressed enter...
I was ofcource kicked from the channel and I felt _really_ stupid...

Do you have your external DNS entries on the other machines?  Even if you
are using BIND on the Masq server, you still need to have the *real* DNS
servers set up (at least as a secondary DNS).

Tyan is generally good about not using junk components (i.e. SiS videa,

Hello everyone,

I've installed SuSE Linux 6.1 a few days ago, and I'm still trying to
figure out how I'm going to install my sound card to Linux.

I have a Soundblaster 64PCI, and the SuSE Linux hardware database says that
it is supported. I've read the Sound HOWTO, but I haven't still figured out
what to do.

Could you please tell me which should be my first steps?

(oh, also another question: How can I convert DOS text files to Linux? The
duconv utility seems to delete my files if I write duconv -u text.txt
text.txt)

Computers make very fast, very accurate mistakes.

Howdy SuSE folks,

  I have a security question for you. My gateway is currently serving
  telnet to the outside world. Now only two people out of the
  local-net actually have access. I would like to kill the telnet
  daemon on that machine, and (if poss) use SSH instead.

  The gateway will go from being also a public access machine to JUST
  a gateway, and any connections received on port 23 will be forwarded
  to a machine inside the network which is not publicly routable.

  One might say that is closing one security hole and opening another,
  but the machine inside the local net will have more security, and
  plus I can severe it from the network without taking the rest of the
  network out.

   Thanks for your help!

 ps. I didn't get the cd-rom&soundcard to work, so invested in a
 $39.95 40x cd-rom drive instead. :) Thanks to everyone that responded
 though, it was a real comfort!
  

 Best Wishes,

Lee Smallbone

Your solution really doesn't have to do with cylinders, but rather that
you put /boot (and therefore your kernel) below 1024 cyclinders for dual
boot.  You can do this by creating your Win95 DOS partition after you
create your /boot partition.  E.G., you can create 2 DOS partitions, one
for linux and one for Win95.  Install Win95 on the second (use fdisk to
make 2nd partition Active), then Convert the first DOS partition to unix
and install lilo and Suse on it.  If OS'(s) already exist, I recommend
using fips like I did, but read the documentation VERY carefully first.

Speaking of Quantum, however, I try not to bad mouth a vendor, but ever
since Quantum made the 2 GB Big Foot drive and we had a first week
success rate of slightly under 50% using brand new Compaq 133's during a
400 PC rollout, I've strayed from Quantum.  One year later, thinking
problems had cleared, I bought a used 4 GB drive from my "buddy" for a
bargain $180 and I have wondered what to do with it ever since.  With
Win 9x, it consistantly conflicts and causes BIOS detection errors with
my generic ATAPI CD, not to mention it won't fit in my case, so I need
to keep the top off.  One night I could have sworn I saw sparks or at
least very bright LED signals just before my CD and motherboard froze. 
I've had the CD on another PC for over a year with no prob.  I put SUSE
2.2.7 dist on the 4 GB to install on a PC at work.  It's on a plain IBM
P100, but at least every 3rd boot I somehow require fsck's at bootup. 
Restarts are becoming a white knuckling experience...

I am using 1024 x 768 in 24bit colour on a ATI Xpert98
graphice card, with XFree.  For most applications the
graphics resolution is fine, but in both Star Office 5.0
and WordPerfect the resolution of the text on screen is
pretty appalling.  The individual characters are blocky
and indistinct.  They are even worse than I remember
MS Word 1 being with Windows 3.0.

Is there an outline font type system for Linux which I
can install, or do I just have to put up with it?

hello all,

        This is info every linux person should know! :-)

Microsoft Using Apache  Apparently, Microsoft is using Apache to run one
of MSN's sites - if you go to this link
http://homepages.msn.com/invalid_url or follow the instructions on
LinuxCare's site you'll find that they're using Apache 1.3.6 on some

offers, surely they don't charge themselves for their own licenses...

Ahh, sorry for the ignorance : )  I will check the specs and get back to

Did you use Netscape when your system locked?  I noticed that when using
Netscape my system would freeze quite often, requiring me to hit the power
switch.  I disabled Java in Netscape and now the freezes are pretty rare,
but not gone altogether.

This is on a Dell Inspiron 7000 laptop.

that linux don't see my printer because I have this message in status "waiting

Pick things up with your left button and drop them with the middle
one. In vim this works different with and without the shift key, just
try it.

Over the weekend, yes. We switched to a new mail server and we switched
to a new mailing list software. Along with the associated downtime, our
t1 also had some issues causing a good portion of Sunday and Monday
morning when we weren't receiving email. This has caused a good deal of
backlog for us to go through.

However, you said you had some problems on Thursday. This is interesting
since we didn't make the change until Sunday. Perhaps the problem will
be solved with the new server and software?

Hello,

Thought I'd try asking this again.

After attempting a kernel recompile I began having the following boot
problem with LILO - booting from floppy works, I just can't boot from
the hard drive.  

I'm using kernel 2.2.10 on SuSE 6.1.  I did have everything working
before with this kernel, its only with this latest compile that things
have gone wrong.  I have Linux on hdb2 and the swap space on hdb5

Using the floppy I get the following messages:

... [all going normally]
Partition check
hda: hda1
hdb: hdb1 <hdb5> hdb2
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) read only
Freeing unused kernel memory: 52k freed
Adding swap: ...
And everything goes as normal

When using LILO I get the following:
... [everything looks normal up to here so far as I can tell]
Partition check
hda: hda1
hdb: hdb1 < > hdb2
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) read only
Warning: unable to open an initial console
Kernel panic: No init found.  Try passing init= option to kernel.
[and the boot process stops here]

Notice the missing <hdb5> (swap) during LILO boot.  Also, I have Linux
installed on hdb (ms win on hda).  I tried putting the old kernel back
in place, rerunning make modules, ..., make bzlilo, even recompiling yet
another new kernel (to the way it was before) all the normal
kernel compilation things I could - nothing is working.  I'm fortunate
that I have an up to date boot disk.

I appreciate anyone's help in getting my system to boot normally again.

I'm running suse 6.1 with kernel 2.2.7

under kde, my kppp has never worked right.
I switched to wvdial, and added my isp's ip address to my host table.
Everything dials fine and I can telnet to my isp
but
The problem is that kmail can't find the server anymore.
does anybody have any suggestions ?

Thanks
        Robert

Making a guess based on some past experiences of mine, KDE can lock up
when it attempts to use the sound capabilities, depending on the type of
drivers, the sound card, the video drivers, etc...

I'm running a P166 with ATI Mach64.  Running as a user my KDE never
locks up.  But, when I run it under root there are random times when it
will lock up while attempting to shutdown the KDE audio drivers.  So, as
root, I always turn off the KDE sound.

Ya.  A known bug in KDE 1.1.  Downgrade to KDE 1.0 or wait until the
next upgrade of KDE is released.  Kppp always ran perfectly for me until
1.1.  Then I got the same problems you mentioned.  I switched to WVDIAL,
which runs perfectly.  I had two icons on my desktop; one to turn it on
and another to shut it down.  I say 'had' because I'm now running
ADSL... :-)

I'm guessing, Tony, that if you don't turn off your 'receipt requested'

Greetings!

I have a SuSE 5.3 installation that I have recently updated with egcs 1.1.2
and glibc6 2.0.6.  Everything compiled fine and installed itself it would
should be.  (Read the included docs rather than the mini-how-to since the
included docs are more up-to-date with the information to properly install
this stuff without killing everything else in the process.)  I started
compiling some stuff with the new libraries. I noticed that some commands
will simply run striaght from the command prompt as one would normally
expect, while others require a "./" before it for the command to properly
work.  For these particular commands run without the "./", BASH reports
"Command not found."  Is this normal?  Is there some way of getting all
commands to execute the same way?

Thanks!

Christopher Reimer

Exchange 5.5 supports POP, SMTP, and WWW client access.  Can't anyone here
prefer Linux without denigrating other systems?

What do you mean?  Are you saying the sound quality is bad, or are you
critiqueing the sounds themselves?

I use KDE and the OSS combination and my sound quality is excellent.  I
did try putting the sound into my 2.2.7 kernel but noticed a significant
deterioration in sound quality so I returned to my installed OSS driver.

I've just ftp the gnome distribution for Suse form gnome.org.
I deleted all the old gnome stuff from 6.1 CD.
When I install Gnome with the new rpm's,
I have these conflicts:
   ORBIT-0.4.3-1 conflicts with an existing ORBIT-0.4.3-2...
   libaudiofile-0.1.6-1 conflicts with libaudiofile-0.1.6-10

Am I okay or not?

2nd question, I can get the Gnome programs that use Python installed
correctly.  It says that I need glib and gtk+.  Where can I get them?

Thanks in advance

That drove me nuts too!  It automatically switches them when you install Star
Office. =20

The way I found to switch it back is to open your home dir with the KDE
file mgr.  Go to the edit menu and click on "Mime types" then pick the folder
for the type of file you are trying to change and more icons will show up.  P=
ick
one like JPG and right click on it and select properties and on the "Binding"
tab set the default application to the program you want to open that type of
file.

Hope this helps.

On our system at work Exchange runs pop and smtp by default so you should be
able to use any basic mail client to access your mail by polling the server
every 5 or 10 min. just like you do with a dial up.  I don't know of any way =
to
use the other services like the scheduler and contact garbage though.  My
company is doing the same thing, but luckily I still run the gateway on my SGI
Origin 200 and can direct my mail before it gets to the NT box.  For the
internal stuff I just made a "custom" address in the exchange address list so
everyone could see me like normal and then it reroutes it back through the SG=
I.

Good luck.

They have changed the printer ports with the new Suse. What used to be
lp1 is now lp0. Try changing your printer assignment to /dev/lp0. That
should fix the problem.

Also the list identifier inserted into subject lines changed from
[SuSE Linux] to [suse-linux-e].  Could it be your filtering has
trashed the messages because of this change?

Thanks Derek. I will configure kernel 2.2.5 from the SuSE CD, and then
apply the patches as you suggest.  This should help localize the
problem.

Exchange (V5.5 anyway) has support for POP3 and IMAP4.  You just need
to make sure that your admins set-up the protocol you need.  My
mailbox is on an Exchange server at our office and I've not had any
problems getting my mail at home using fetchmail with POP3.

Could not mannage to get inn working (starting off with an empty history
database inn won't start as there is no history database. But as long as
inn doesn't run, you can't fill the database :-((( )
The suse manual suggests installing the leafnode package for stand allone
machines, and I tried to install it.  Only to see that inn conflicts with
leafnode 1.9.2-13 ("failed dependencies: inn conflicts with
leafnode-1.9.2-13")
 So I installed inn-old (1.7-32  as opposed to 2.2-27), but only to get
the same errormessage. My question: what inn-version does combine with the
leafnode package. SuSE people can't advice the leafnode package, and leave
it as an orphan that can't be combined with the inn versions from the CD
(6.1)

Was your question "How to turn off Telnet?".  If so, go to /etc/inetd.conf.
Comment out (put a # in front of) telnet.  Save the file.

Then pull a process list and get the pid for inetd:

ps aux | grep inetd

Then restart inetd:

kill -HUP (process number)

Sean,
  As I found out when I started using Linux a few months ago, MS Exchange 
Server leaves IMAP and POP protocols turned on by default.  And, as I 
understand it, anyone that admins Exchange Server has to go through a lot to 
disable both protocols.
  My employer uses Exchange Server 5.5 and I have had no problems getting 
K-Mail from KDE to work with it.

I had the exact opposite problem.  In KDE 1.0, the kppp application would
die all the time.  When I upgraded to KDE 1.1.1, the problem disappeared.

Hi

Has anybody succeeded in getting an HP 7200i (IDE/ATAPI) cd writer
recognised and working under Linux.  I've tried re-compiling the kernel
with SCSI Emulation etc but I have not been able to get cdrecord to
recognise the drive.  The drive is cofigured as slave (/dev/hdd).

TIA

Mike

Hi,

I'm running SuSE 6.0 with a Linux kernel version 2.2.10 and the 4Front
OSS sound drivers. I get noise from the speakers when I type, move the
mouse and access the hard drive. This occur even if I turn off the sound
drivers.

Does anybody have any clues about this? I don't get these noises when I
boot the win98 partition.

Thanks.

Andrew,

Do you have xfstt? It's a font server for True Type fonts, and it sounds
like you need it, or something similar!

I had dreadful fonts in Netscape and StarOffice for weeks until I
discovered it.

Not sure if it's available as a binary - I downloaded and compiled with
no problems (however there was a list dialogue some days ago when
someone was having problems compiling it...!!) and although it's a
little fiddly to get it fully integrated into the system (I'm speaking
as a Linux newbie here - it was the first time I had to get to grips
with init scripts.......) once it's in it's quite invisible and does
it's stuff wonderfully.

I copied over all my True Type fonts from Windows and now have *perfect*
fonts in my applications!!

Can't remember offhand where I donwloaded it from, but I think you
should find it easily enough - If not, get back and I'll remember where
I got it from.

Good luck

Sean

The best way, IMHO, is to follow the instructions in the help for kdm

Put them on different networks.  You have them both on the same net.  Did you

About a year ago, Microsoft had a site set up (http://linus.microsoft.com) th=

was a Red Hat 5.0 server with the default Apache page.  Of course it didn't

Grin! Isn't this priceless??

It's not news...MS has been running UNIX for their mail server for quite
a while...it was only a matter of time, amd a few glorious NT crashes,
before they moved their server over as well.

Can't afford to disillusion the plebes now, can they? ;)

Hi,

Thanks for all the replies (especially to our resident GNU-bee...he must be
awfully busy).  Even with all the help I still have a few problems.

1)  My ATAPI ZIP drive (hdd) has an entry in fstab-

/dev/hdd /zip auto noauto,user 0 0

I used mkdir to create /zip.

Now when I try to mount, I am told to declare the fs type.  When I use
the -t vfat option in the mount command, I get the message "/zip is not a
block device"

2) I taught my kids to use Ctrl+Alt+Del when they shut down the computer and
it seems to work just fine.

>3)  I installed Gnome from the CD's but I can not get it to run.  I tried
>startx gnome and startx gnome-session no luck.  I tried using other wm's to
>configure gnome (as suggested by the gnome docs but nothing works. Can
>anyone point me in the right direction?

Here I answered my own question.  I discovered the tech support doc library
at SuSE's web site and grabbed the HTML doc with Gnome configuration
instructions.  I now have that neat footprint living in the bottom left
corner of the screen.  If anyone else wants the doc, I will be happy to
e-mail it as an attachment.

Finally, can anyone point me to a site that has up-to-date xwindows drivers
for n-Vidia cards.  I contacted the STB tech support and they sent me to a
site that wanted to sell the drivers and an Xfree version for $100.  I'm
sure it is a viable alternative, but if I am going to have to pay for
something, I would rather spend my money on hardware (I bought a
winmodem-stupid stupid stupid me).

Thanks,

Rod

The solution is probably to remove the INN package. If you are using
leafnode, you don't need INN.

My rusty German says SuSE offers an upgrade price on 6.1, amounting to a
savings of 19DM.  Anyone from SuSE care to comment on the US version?  Will it
have an upgrade pricing structure?

Looks pretty exciting, 6 CD's of stuff.

I have been pondering this same question about my new Compaq Armada 7800.
Is the Bios new enough to overcome the 1024 cylinder limit?

It's the one with the 14gig, not the 8gig drive.

Anyone know?

Thanks,

Hello SuSE folks...

I am faced with a problem about "useradd" in SuSE 6.1. I am using it as
below.

useradd -s /dev/null -d /home/x/Iam -m -k /etc/skel.special -p mypass Iam

It works well and everything looks ok. But when I tried to ftp, I cannot
login. I tried this with proftpd and wu.ftpd but the problem remains the
same....

What should I do ? 

Thanks lot...

0.5 appears to be responding on both IP addresses. Either you've set up
that machine with 2 IP addresses (look at what ifconfig tells you) or
the routing from the third machine is somehow pointing network
192.168.0.0 addresses at one host. Either way, you've messed something
up quite convincingly!

You might want to puzzle it out, but sometimes it's just easier to
delete all the network config stuff from all the machines, sit down and
work it out from scratch, then do it right.

I ordered it from 6.1 chumbo.com, had it several weeks before my
package from SuSE came. I ended up with two, gave one to my son.

Order directly or buy from a distributor?

It really is a tough question, I originally thought that subscribing would be
the best way to support SuSE. However, now I believe it may be better to
buy it from the distributors. Although SuSE may not make as much profit
on each sale, they do get more publicity for the sales they make. Also,
as other distributors see SuSE products selling well at places like chumbo.co=
m,
they are more inclined to carry SuSE products as well. One of the problems
OS/2 had was getting on the store shelves, most OS/2 users ended up buying
from a handful of sources.  Many of us believed  the only way for any non
Microsoft product to be truly successful was to have it on the store shelves
so people could see it.=20

I am not an expert but I do believe it will benefit SuSE more from having
higher retail sales rather than higher direct sales.  Therefore I suggest that
you consider buying your next version of SuSE from the local bookstore.
You can even let the salesperson know that it is a great product, I am
sure the salesperson will repeat that to any customer that should ask=20
him about SuSE.

To the fine people at SuSE, please correct me if I am wrong. If you
believe that direct sales are better, let us know.

Hi!

After installing SuSE Linux 6.1 I'm having troubles with a few of the=20
programs: xemacs, kcmikbd, kiconedit and iv tools.=20

> xemacs &
XOpenIM{} failed ... no input server available.

Now, xemacs starts and allows me to write english, but MULE doesn't=20
allow me to change input method to Greek!

MULE/Set Language Environment/Greek   --->OK! No problem
MULE/Toggle Input Method   --->Message: Can't activate input method `greek?
MULE/Select Input Method/Greek --->Message: No valid input method was selected

Although it does display greek text.

>/opt/kde/bin/kcmikbd
Segmentation fault.

Needles to say, that International Keyboard doesn't function (I need=20

Also the iv tools like idraw require the jpeg library 5, though there is only=
 the jpeg library 6 in the system. So they do not work. Neither is it possibl=

Finally kiconedit, while it allows you to edit icons, it gets crasy when you =
try to save, filling the desktop with warnings, so that you need to xkill it =

Are there any updates for these products for SuSe Linux 6.1? Could you help, =
please!

looks to me like Linux can't properly see the soundcard ide port. If you
have a spare ide port on the m/b try moving the cdrom to that. If the bios
recognizes the cd you're home & dry.

There isn't much difference these days. All the distros, for the most
part, install the same software and people use them in the same way.
Some have preferred tools which others don't have; eg. for systems admin
Redhat ship linuxconf, SuSE ships YaST and Caldera ships COAS. Which one
of these is better depends on your viewpoint; they all do the same
tasks. Installation is another thing which varies, with some distros
(like Caldera) taking the 'dumb' approach: auto detecting everything and
set it up for you without asking too many questions, while others like
SuSE give you lots of flexibility, but ask questions which some people
might find tricky to answer. Again, it depends on what you want. The
other big difference is which desktop is installed. RHL defaults to
GNOME, most others go for KDE, but they all seem to ship both (plus
plenty of others) so you always get the choice if you want to try them
all out.

If you buy a boxed version for proper money you'll also get manuals and
support, the level and quality of which vary.

For the most part, we're talking fine details here.

Hi all,

I was looking through my messages log and noticed these 2 lines which seem
to occur at regular intervals but don't know what they mean:

Jul 26 13:56:16 tcob1 kernel: eth0: bogus packet: status=3D0x20 nxpg=3D0x76 s=
ize=3D64
Jul 26 13:56:16 tcob1 kernel: eth0: mismatched read page pointers 75 vs 76.

Is this some sort of DoS attack or something else. If it is a DoS how do I
stop it.

        Each distribution comes with its own selection of software, often
with some which has been custom written by that distributor (but such
custom jobs tend to be GPL'd, so that the others might include them too.
For instance, Red Hat's package manager (RPM) is widely used by other
distributions.) 
        Each distribution seems to think that they have the best way of
setting up a filesystem. Sometimes, this will cause conflicts between one
distribution's packages and another distribution.
        Some distributions have different drivers for hardware included.
Others are more business oriented. Others are more fanatical about
open-source software, while heretics will include any software they want
on their distribution, maybe free, but not open source.

I _was_ filtering on the 'Sender:' header, but this seems to have been

I'm poking around with a few recipes now - I'll repost when I've got a

Sean,

I know the feeling.  At Compaq it's all Exchange but the admins do have POP
& SMTP turned on in the Exchange server so I've been able to send & receive
mail with Netscape Communicator under linux.  You just need to get the
POP/SMTP server names that the Exchange server is presenting.  The downside
with Exchange are the proprietary enhancements such as the calendar, meeting
scheduler, etc and the proprietary format that outlook stores mail backups
in.  I don't know of a linux solution for those features.  I don't
understand why IT departments move to Exchange because of the high license
and maintenance costs.  M$ pushes this low total cost of ownership but
that's mostly bs.  We still have a large IT maintenance department.  Imagine
the cost savings in a company with thousands of employees if you replaced
all those NT/exchange licenses with linux.

good luck,
scott worley

My work location is planning to move exclusively to MS Exchange for
email, away from the mixed UNIX and NT environment we currently have.

I fear I know the answer, but is there ANY way to usefully access the
Exchange server from my dearly beloved Linux desktop, or have the
b******s finally forced us to conform?

Cheerio,

Hi,

there is a script somewhere (something in the directory where you have all the
stuuf for booting, or /etc, i'm sorry i'm not in front of the box right
now)defining what halt actually does in this script you will find a line whic=
h is
something like :
halt=3D"halt"
change it to :
halt=3D"halt -p"
and your computer will power off (if you have the support in the kernel, if y=
our
motherboard supports it , ...)

I hope this helps

regards

First of all thanks to all who responded to my questions concerning
Xfce & window managers in general.  Those have helped a lot!

Is anyone using the subect printer w/ SuSE 6.1?  I just installed it
last night (or was it early this morning.......:-)) and I really haven't
tried to get it working yet w/ Linux.  It is connected to the "pass-
through" port on my external zip drive (LPT1).  Has anyone had
experience w/ this type of setup?  Any hints on configuration would
be greatly appreciated.  My old printer did not get along w/ the zip
drive, so I had connected it to a USB port w/ a USB to parallel
converter.  Needless to say, I couldn't use this w/ Linux....

Thanks,

Mike

SuSE 6.1 patches this to:

+#  ifndef __NetBSD__
+#    if !(defined __GLIBC__ && __GLIBC__ >=3D 2)
+       extern int   errno;             /* SHOULD be in errno.h, but often is=

+       extern char *sys_errlist[];     /* this too... */
+#    endif

Are you using an old pre __GLIBC__ version of the source?

> Is this as simple as commenting out something here to get a good compile jo=
b ?

The diff that SuSE 6.1 uses runs to 3399 lines (on the first CD
unsorted/patches/suse/xv-3.10a.dif -- along with a huge diff for the
Japanese extensions to be found in the source rpm located on CD5
suse/zq2/xv.spm (which I was not aware of until I took a look at the
source rpm :-) Are you trying to compile an old version for some
(possibly educational) reason?  If so -- go ahead and fix each problem
in the xv source as it comes up (do not "fix" your own /usr/include
headers -- they are right until proven guilty :-) The program is not
going to run as root so there is not a whole bunch that can go wrong.

Suse has experianced a ton of problems shipping out the new oredes and
u[pgrade orders. 
I am sure there help is not chaep. all as a result of there groth during
the las year.

I hear on the thread they will be using a fufullment service   , and there
are the distributers.
I think they are better equaiped to habdle these issues , and allready have
a working sytem in place.

I would ratther that suse use them to handle trhe distribution , and use
all its resources on making a better and greates suse distro.

That way is a win - win situation , and we all walk away with something.

Hi,

Even IBM does not support two cards on the same subnet in the same system.
;-)
You can use IP aliasing if you want this machine to answer both IPs...

Microsoft's company HotMail.com runs FreeBSD w/Apache on the frontend and
SUN Solaris on the back.

M$ tried to replace the Unix boxes with their OS.  The result was chaotic.
NT cannot handle high user loads.  They *very* quietly moved the Unix
systems back and hired and outside company to manage it for them.

Isn't that special?  ;)

Is this just the problem of this account or this list or the program?

Just think if you what you'd feel like with a Commodore 64 tattoo on your ass.

It will be the same in a few years, when we fly ourselves to work.

I had to change my filtering to get it to filter the suse list into its own

I was wondering what happened for a while to but then i figured it out.

Actually, MSN has only just started offering homepages to subscribers in
this manner, and the work was contracted out. It's not a MS server, but
that of a third party. But you don't need to tell people that when you
point and laugh.

Should be: 
/dev/hdd4   /zip auto noauto,user 0 0

(For some reason iomega partitions the zipdisk and puts the data on
partition 4)

I've got a bit of a problemette at the moment. Our network is an amalgamation
of Windows 9x, Windows NT (Workstation and Server), SuSE Linux and MacOS
machines. The Windows machines are all on a TCP/IP ethernet, with the MacOS
machines on their own little AppleTalk network. The Linux machines are NFS/NIS
sharing to each other. I'd like to integrate all of the different networks
into one, so that all of the resources are sharable.

I've begin to do this by moving over to TCP/IP. I've been trying to use Samba,
and have successfully managed to get Windows to connect to a Linux machine.
The other way around, however, is a big no-no. I can't, and I've tried many
times, to get Linux to access a Windows share. I have yet to try it with
MacOS, but expect the same, if not more, problems.

Any suggestions as to how I can get the Linux boxes to see Windows? I need all
of the machines, and can't move them all to Linux (much to my despair). Any
help would be appreciated!

I use the HP 8110i with scsi emulation.  When I built my kernel I turned
off ide cdrom support, selected scsi emulation, selected generic scsi
support and added a line to my lilo.conf file like this.  append =
"hdc=ide-scsi"  this seem to work fine for me.  The hdc is used on mine
because it's the master drive on the secondary controller.  The
documentation for xcdroast, which uses cdrecord, recommends the burner
be a master drive on the secondary controller.  I had problems trying to
use it as a slave.  YMMV.

Maybe you can help me: How can I use the www client access to
Exchange 5.5 to access contact list and calendar of another user.
(It's not acceptable to log in as the other user. In Outlook itself
I could open those files separately.)

What dose it have to do with SuSE? Our department is using SuSE/KDE
but one of our faculty members is now acting dean of academic
affairs. He will have to be able to access the contact list and
calendar of the usual dean...

Thanks for any help.

  Thanks for all the replies (especially to our resident GNU-bee...he must
be
  awfully busy).  Even with all the help I still have a few problems.

  1)  My ATAPI ZIP drive (hdd) has an entry in fstab-

  /dev/hdd /zip auto noauto,user 0 0

  I used mkdir to create /zip.

  Now when I try to mount, I am told to declare the fs type.  When I use
  the -t vfat option in the mount command, I get the message "/zip is not a
  block device"

Try using /dev/hdd1 instead of /dev/hdd.

  Finally, can anyone point me to a site that has up-to-date xwindows
drivers
  for n-Vidia cards.  I contacted the STB tech support and they sent me to a
  site that wanted to sell the drivers and an Xfree version for $100.  I'm
  sure it is a viable alternative, but if I am going to have to pay for
  something, I would rather spend my money on hardware (I bought a
  winmodem-stupid stupid stupid me).

Sounds like you got sent to XiG. The latest XFree is always at 
http://www.xfree86.org or you could try metroX $39 at
http://www.metrolink.com

Good luck,

        I agree-)

mount /floppy
tar cvzf /floppy/etc.taz /etc  

        Will backup /etc to a floppy. I date the files in the name so I have
multiple backups on the one floppy. So the backup I made today is
etcjuly27.taz

        You can do the same thing with any other directory you need.

If you use lilo to boot linux, you can do the following:

Enter `linux init=/bin/sh' at the lilo prompt (replace linux
with the name of your kernel image). You should then be logged
in as root without having to enter the password. Then do a
`mount -o remount,rw /' to make the root file system writeable,
then edit /etc/shadow; look for the the line that starts with
`root' and delete everything between the first and the second
colon in that line (that's root's encrypted password). Finally
do a `sync' and a `mount -o remount,ro /' and reboot.

Now you should be able to login as root the normal way but
without a password.

You can also boot from the SuSE-CD or bootfloppy, start the
rescue system, mount your root filesystem and change
/etc/shadow.

Boot a rescue system, mount the / filesystem of your regular system and

Or boot using the kernel parameter

Let's see:

from man ftpd:
          3.   The user must have a standard shell returned by
                getusershell(3).                                             =
  =20

This is standard and therefore probably true for all
implementations.

/dev/null is usually not contained in /etc/shells, ie. it's not a
standard shell.

I would suggest that you use:

useradd -s /bin/false -d /home/x/Iam -m -k /etc/skel.special -p
mypass Iam

Hi,

I have noticed that recently my system 'loses' tcp/ip and the only way to
regain is to reboot the system. I checked my network and it appears okay.

My connection is via an ethernet card, and using iptraf I noticed that I was
still getting ARPs etc but no TCP stuff.

Would anyone have a suggestion as to what might be causing this.

Michael,

The original PC-AT BIOS int13 call uses a 10bit field for cylinder number
which caps the max cylinder to 1023.  LILO uses the original call to
maintain compatibility across platforms, i.e. old 386 systems and up.  SCSI
BIOS replaces the system BIOS int13 interface but must provide same calls so
it's also limited to 1023 cylinders.  The SCSI controller handles the actual
logical to physical driver translation but on PC's it must live with the old
int13 interface.  Some SCSI cards, like the Adaptec 2940, have a setting to
turn off drive translation.  I've ran linux in the past with drive
tranlation off but LILO is still limited to <1023 cylinders.  Translation
maps driver geometry so that the number of cylinders is <= 1023 usually by
increasing the number of logical heads.  Of course different BIOS implement
the translation differently which can result in in a hard drive's
partitioning not being recognized on another system.  For example, many BIOS
will cap the number of heads to 240 whereas my Adaptec 2940 SCSI controller
caps at 255 heads.  One problem with tranlation is the 8GB barrier.  The max
translated geometry for the old int13 interface, 1023x255x63, results in
~7.8GB.  The int13 interface was extended a few years ago with new calls
which allow the drive to be accessed with larger CHS values or using sector
addressing which is somewhat independent of geometry.  I guess someone could
modify LILO to use the extended interface but you only have about 470 bytes
of code space in the MBR.  There's also another open source boot manager on
the SuSE CD's, chos.  I've looked at the code for chos and it also seems to
use the old int13 interface.  The other thing to mention is that IDE drives
have multiple fields containing drive geometries.  The Compaq BIOS limits
the geometry in the old int13 interface to 1023x240x63(7.8GB). The new int13
functions are available to access the whole drive. Also, during boot up the
BIOS programs the logical cylinders, logical heads, and logical sectors in
words 54-56 in the IDE drive's ID structure. Words 57-58 contain the total
number of sectors on the drive. So for your Armada or any other ibm type PC
any software, LILO, which uses the original int13 interface will be limited
to 1023 cylinders and a size of 7.8GB. Any software written to take
advantage of the extended int13 interface and/or new IDE drive data fields
can access the whole drive.  I tested linux with kernel 2.0.36 on an Armada
with 10 & 14GB drives and found that linux fdisk would not let me create a
partition > 7.8GB unless I used the advanced menu and manually changed the
disk geometry.  Once the partitions were created, boot partition < 1023,
linux had no problems accessing all the drive.  Kernel 2.2.X and the newer
disk utilities fixed this. I wrote all this out because this drive
translation stuff still confuses me sometimes.  Hope it explained the issue.

I have been pondering this same question about my new Compaq Armada 7800.
Is the Bios new enough to overcome the 1024 cylinder limit?

It's the one with the 14gig, not the 8gig drive.

Anyone know?

Thanks,

No, you can't do that.

My advice is to ditch Telnet altogether.  Use SSH (Secure Shell).  It
encrypts everything and is secure.  You can get it here for free.

Hi all

I dl'd xfstt-0.9.99-2 RPM and had trouble installing it - looked
like I needed a couple of C++ compiler? shared libs that aren't in 6.1.
I put out a call for help to which Faber Fedor and Jerry Kreps generously
replied (many thanks guys) but after following up their suggestions I
decided I was a bit out of my depth.

So....I've just dloaded the previous version: "xfstt-0.9.7-2 RPM for 
i386" (from what might have been a Red Hat site). Andrew, if you do a 
search using the string I just quoted, you should find it easily enough.
It looks more compatible with 6.1. Tonight I hope to find out if it works.
Keep your fingers crossed...I'll let you know how I got on.

BTW, suse-r(a)iname.com also posted some help pleas about trying to make
it from the tarball. Haven't heard anything further on this so don't know
if he/she succeeded.

I am desirous of doing the same with AfterStep.  Seems that SuSE 6.1 is not as
up-to-date to do this either???  How about AfterStep in 6.2?

Hi all & Athanasios,

very kool to see another Hellene on this list   :-)

Athanasios Migdalas wrote:

I do my stuff in English, down here in NZ. But my guess would be you
need to do a kernel recompile & pay close attention to detail when you
get to the language section. I've found the most straightforward way to
do this, is run the re-compile via xconfig; this way you can go
backwards & forwards in the options. If you run into any
hassles/problems, mail this list.

Good luck.

Hi,

I got SuSE 5.3 with kernel update 2.2.10.

I got a network with firewall, masq.

Looks like this:

                        <---->win
Internet<-->SUSE<--->HUB<---->HP printer
                        <---->win

Now my question.

I like to install this printer over the hub to my Linux box and then make 
the Windows machines print over the Linux box. The HP got a ethernet port. 
Anybody ever got this to work?

Don't send me to the how-to. I read it and there is a three liner about HP 
printers. Very helpful*grin* and the HP website is all Windows.

Thanks,

Marcel

uname -a returns: "Linux yoda 2.2.7 #17 Fri Apr 30 20:00:10 MEST 1999
i686 unknown"

I can get configure to work by defining the "host" variable, but
something is not right.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Jim

You can get it at KDE's ftp server.  Not sure of the exact address, because
it is mirrored in several places, but you can get to any of the mirrors from
the kde site.  http://www.kde.org

Hi, I was wondering if anyone else has tried VMware for linux yet?  I
bought it (the intro price $75), But didn't want to install it until I got
a bigger hard drive, upgraded KDM, and do some other stuff.
If you have tried it, how does it run under SuSE?
Also, I looked around Xfree86.org, but couldn't find the answer.  What's
the difference in 3.4 and 3.3.1, Is it just a bigfix release?

Thanks

I don't know about IBM VM but I've installed IBM Virtual Age Java for
Linux and it works great!  I also installed the WinX version at work and
it is impossible to tell the difference between the two, except that my
P166 may be about as fast as my P450 at work, after it finishes
loading...

I have a parallel port based Zip250 drive and I have to use partition 4
for data and so I'm wondering if "/dev/hdd" should be /dev/hdd4"
instead? I have the following entries in my /etc/fstab file so I can
easly mount either a vfat or ext2 filesystems from my Zip disk. These
are pretty much verbatim from the Zip drive mini-howto document. Since
you have an ATAPI zip drive you may or may not the "sync" command. The
man pages for "mount" don't say much about the "sync" flag. Since the
Zip drive is a removable media type you probably want the "noauto" flag
specified so your system doesn't try to mount the drive at bootup time.

/dev/sda1    /zip     ext2      noauto,rw,user,nosuid,sync
/dev/sda4    /zipdos  vfat      noauto,rw,user,nosuid,sync,mode=0777

When I want to mount a DOS formatted Zip disk and do a "mount /zipdos".
This is alot nicer than having to specify the block device and
filesystem type.

Ah ha!
you need to load the sbcd module:
from the main menu, select "Kernel Modules" and then "load CDROM Module"
(you will need the modules disk).  select the sbpcd module 
(the first one in the list) and all should be fine.

Hi everyone:
        Using SuSE 6.1 with an Aims RadioTrack FM radio card which I removed =
from
my old NT box.  I remember checking support for this during installation
but can't remember what the program name is and can't find it in any of the
KDE menus.
        Any of you out there using this card?  If so, what is the program for
accessing it?

TIA,
Tom

Well, thanks everyone who responded with help.  Here's how I fixed
everything.  For those of you not following this thread, the problem
began with kernel 2.2.10.  I had recompiled it for the umpteenth time
and all of a sudden LILO wouldn't boot anymore.  I was able to boot from
an older 2.2.10 boot floppy.  No amount of wrangling around I could try
was allowing me to get things back to normal.  Finally I went into
/usr/src and typed: rm -r linux.  Installed kernel 2.2.10 again and
recompiled from scratch and LILO works again.  Why I couldn't recompile
with the existing 2.2.10 is a mystery - apparently it somehow got
corrupted!?!  Anyway, all is well.

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone has gotten an IDE CDR/RW to work with Kernel
2.2.10.  I read the HOWTO and compiled in scsi emulation etc. but all
this did was screw up my system (read the thread "boot problem").  Is
there some newer info or any other advice?

Thanks,

David Bellows

My .$.02 worth. I've got @home and get about 2-3 intrusion attempts per week.
I strongly suggest you install firewall first.

Quoting James <bond225(a)shell2.tiac.net>:
> Hi, I was wondering if anyone else has tried VMware for linux yet?

Yes, I have installed it.  It does work, mostly.  It doesn't do what I
bought it mostly for, run 1st person shooters in Win98.  It doesn't
have ActiveX sound and the game can't see that I have an accelerated
video card.  I'm going to fiddle with it some more.  Also the opening
chord on Win98 is very choppy.  I may put some other Win98 apps I have
in and try them out.  I was able to install Win98 from the CD and it
detected the hardware as advertised.

I suspect it is affecting the performance of Linux.  Netscape used to
just pop up when started.  Now there is a noticeable delay.  YMMV

As I said, Exchange 5.5 supports WWW-based client access, which should work
just fine with Linux.  It does have to be configured by the Exchange
administrator before being used.

Actually, you can indeed change the port that telnet uses.

Look at /etc/inetd.conf.

Comment out this line:
   telnet  stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/tcpd  in.telnetd

And replace it with:

   9876 stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/tcpd  in.telnetd

You can test it out on any Unix/Linux/*BSD computer with:

   telnet your-host-name 9876

I also recommend secure shell, but I know that not everybody has
access to the secure-shell clients.  Moreover, some countries (France,
Iraq, and North Korea; possibly others) prohibit the possession of
encryption technology within their borders without special government
licenses, so secure-shell might be a bad choice there.

Hello...

Unfortunately, /dev/lp1 is not equivalent to LPT1: under DOS... /dev/lp0 is
the equivalent to LPT1:

Why? Anyone here ever program in nearly any computer language/shell language
in the past twenty years? Well, traditionally, arrays, and other type of
sturctures (BASIC's DIM comes to mind) have always started with element 0
being the first real element number 1. And, many things and people have been
developed since then which this type of system in mind... Thus,

/dev/lp0 = LPT1:

/dev/lp1 = LPT2:

/dev/lp2 = LPT3:

Understand?

My explanation above is not meant to fully explain the reasoning behind this
scheme, only to give a real world example, and show how in one possible way
it might have been carried on down though tradition...

Cheers!

I have used VMware under SuSE 6.0 and 6.1.  Works great!  Just make sure
you have the resources to run it. (read the README. . . )

Lots more video cards supported, better 3D stuff. . . etc

You can do that. Edit /etc/services file. Replce 23 with the port number
you prefer(make sure that it doesn't clash with anyother ports
already assigned to any other process)

Hi James,

I'm testing VMWare on SuSE 6.1 and runs just fine.
I'm actually very impressed, installation was easy and it all worked first
time.

I'm curious to know if anybody has done anything with vmware on diskless
workstations.

all in all a very nice product, the market might be a bit slim but if
it proves usable in a slim client environment, that would be very exciting.

Andy

David

This isn't much help to you but that's exactly what happened to me.  I
can
burn cds in W95 but imagined that Linux might be a bit more stable so
I'd
get less coasters.  Can anybody who's burnt CD's in both confirm that ?
If so I might have another go at recompiling the kernel, but my
inclination at present is to leave it for now.

Hi Folks,

As usual, I was playing around with my basic 6.0 SuSE installation and I
typed shutdown (as root) from an xterm window while KDE was running.  During
the list of shutdown messages, I saw a new one-

hutdown service at daemon: killproc: Empty PID file /var/run/atd.pid for
/usr/sbin/atd  failed

I understand that the AT daemon is something like cron but only runs at
start-up.  My question is - What is supposed to be in the file? and how can
I correct it?

I am not certain this next is related, but... I have another problem that
started at the same time.  No matter what user logs on, when KDE starts you
can select all the items in the menus, but no command or program is executed
nor is there any error message (like no permission etc).  The only exception
is when I log on as root.  Then, everything works as it is supposed to work.

Once again thanks,

Rod

p.s. in a few decades, and after I have gained some skill at Linux, I
promise I won't bug you guys with stupid questions and I may even be able to
answer a few.

I have a single machine which is my workstation at the end of this
install, I never work as root except when needed root has a complex
passsword remote login is forbidden for root ,  "." is not in the root
password that s all for now.

the ISP is supposed to protect my comms between him and I.

I purchased a copy after hearing about it on this list ...Ratchel et al
... It works perfectly on SuSE 6.1  and  Redhat 6.0 you need a
reasonable amount of disk psace depending on how big you want the
virtual ide drive to be 

I'm not sure about KDM I run WindowMaker and it works perfectly!

It comes with a selection of accelerated X servers for the most popular
configurations...

you do need a reasonable spec machine .. on the 'manual' that comes with
it mentions pentium 266 as the lowest spec!

Hi, I was wondering if anyone else has tried VMware for linux yet?  I
bought it (the intro price $75), But didn't want to install it until I
got
a bigger hard drive, upgraded KDM, and do some other stuff.
If you have tried it, how does it run under SuSE?
Also, I looked around Xfree86.org, but couldn't find the answer.  What's
the difference in 3.4 and 3.3.1, Is it just a bigfix release?

Thanks

Hi all

I want to setup a Linux box as a mailserver.
I have an ISP that provides UUCP for the internetmail, and on the LAN I 
have SMTP/POP3-clients (m$outlook)
The LAN part work fine, but how can I invoke the UUCP-dialer when a user 
sends an email to anyone(a)another.company.com, and how can I redirect 
incoming mail to employee(a)my.company.com to the correct local user?

Or, is there a program that support all three protocols?

Greetinx and Thanx in advance, Hans Bouwers

Comment out any services you don't absolutely need in /etc/inetd.conf
and create an /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny file and make them as
restrictive as you can.  You also might want to install tripwire  and
run it and save it's output to a removable media for future reference
should you find you have been or might have been cracked.

Sean,

You're using the 8390 driver, I take it? Looking at the source, it's
wonderfully unclear what this means, but claims that the incoming frame
had a status of "Physical or Multicast Address" - note this is not
referring to IP Multicast, but Ethernet multicast. Does this fit with
anything you know about your environment?

I'd suggest seeing if tcpdump can pick up an instance of it (possibly
not, if the driver is blocking it?) failing that you'd need an external
monitoring device to see what's going on or hack the driver to provide
more diagnostics...=20

Give us some more info on your environment - I personally don't suspect
this is an attack (note that's just a suspicion, not more!) but it's an
interesting one anyway!

No the ne2k driver. The strange thing is that after awhile of these messages
TCP disappears, but ARP and others still show up according to IPTRAF.

I will give tcpdump a go.

My setup is Ethernet card (ne2k) --> SpeedBox --> Microwave Ariel --> ISP.
My ISP is also checking it. But last night I noticed that my ping times to
my ISP's DNS server were all over the place and joined with the fact that I
lose TCP only I not 'hope' that the problem is not with my system but with
their speedbox.

I can regain TCP but doing a warm reboot.

Yes, I also got all mails twice (and reposts of some old
mails - also in duplicate).
It is just one of the bad effects of the sudden change to a
new server for the list.

I have some filtering for e-mails on my school's server, and
I have to use the subject line for filtering mails.
Explanation: the filtering software can only use three
fields: From, To, and Subject. The from-field cannot be
used. The to-field is not reliable as often it contains the
address of the original poster and the list addy is in the
CC: field instead. (No, I can't use procmail, and I can't
install other software. It is my school's VMS server, and I
simply have to use what is on it) :-(

With the change of the subject line on the list, my
filtering got totally useless, and now they just changed it
again.

Why can't people learn to ask or give warnings before making
changes that affect the functioning of a 'product'? I bet
that a lot of other people depend on the subject for
filtering.

VMWARE is fine under SuSE. If you've got an AMD cpu don't bother trying to
run Win95 as memory errors will occur. Win98 is ok as the architecture is
slightly different. NT 4 is fine on Intel & AMD.

All you need is some free disk space - enough for the target OS & apps. VM
installs some networking modules so when you upgrade your kernel you have to
reinstall the VM modules.

3.4 has some new drivers, look out for the 1st snapshot of 4 coming soon.

VMWARE creates a Virtual Machine which runs under linux (or NT for
masochists) allowing you to use another operating system concurrently. This
means you could have your linux system hosting, say, NT4 running MS Office &
printing via Samba to your linux printer. When (not if) the M$ o/s keels
over you just reboot the virtual machine not the linux host.

You could even run another Linux inside a VM for added Penguin Power. 

The VM uses virtualized hardware so can be very slow on low-spec pcs (mine
is AMD K6-233 and is just tolerable).

Rafael,

Have you adjusted all the volume levels for the inputs?  I've noticed OSS
defaults the MIC and LINE-IN inputs to about 2/3 maximum volume.  The noise
could be picked up by these inputs.  Once the volumes are adjusted with a
mixer, use savemixer in the OSS directory to make these the defaults when
OSS starts.

Subject: [suse-linux-e] Hardware activity causes speaker noise

Hi,

I'm running SuSE 6.0 with a Linux kernel version 2.2.10 and the 4Front
OSS sound drivers. I get noise from the speakers when I type, move the
mouse and access the hard drive. This occur even if I turn off the sound
drivers.

Does anybody have any clues about this? I don't get these noises when I
boot the win98 partition.

Thanks.

Disable routing on your SuSE box. Then it works as you expect.

Run WinVNC server on a wintel box, and run the VNCviewer on the Linux box.
It's free, portable, and has decent performance.

One of my major problems with Linux as a desktop is that What You See Is
Not What You Get When You Print It (WYSINWYGWYPI)! Unless I have missed
something very important, ghostscript doesn't access the same font set
as the XServer does. I have installed a TrueType supporting XServer and
the screen now looks great, but printing things is a lottery.
Ghostscript appears to access it's own fonts and chooses it's best match
when a printout is required from an application. If the application is
using an unusual font, the printed output looks nothing like the screen.

Have I missed something important, or is this the case? If I'm right, is
there some sort of system -- either existing or in development -- which
will tie up screen fonts with printer fonts (preferably supporting
TTFs)?

i have an HP 7200i (or something) 2x CD-RW. Use it mostly under linux but
sometimes under winblows. I use SuSE 6.1 and kernel 2.2.10. Set all the
right options when I did "make config" on the kernel and now it works. I
use cdrecord to do the actual burning. Most of the time it works. A few
days ago it stopped working under linux (got a lot of coasters) so I tried
burning under windows. Burning under windows worked for a while, but then
windows started craching when I was burning. So, I went back to linux and
now linux seems to do a good job at burning :^| Oh well, guess I will
switch back and fourth till I figure out what is wrong. All in all I
prefer to burn under linux. There are more options (make bootable cd's
mixed music and data cd make cds for linux and dos etc.) and there is less
of a chance of linux crashing while you burn.

Anyway, yes most of the time my IDE cd burner works just fine under
linux! (and I love it -- what a cool toy!)

later,

Matt.

are you using smbmount to do this ? if so what are the errors you get. Can
you ping back and forth ? What version of suse , and samba are you using .
The more info you can post , the more likely some one can help.

what you are doing makes sence. You will want to spend some time
orginizuing it all. With samba you can "trick" all the others into thinking
is a server. If you have more than a dozen machines , you will want to quit
it down a bit. You can staqt by adding all the tcp/ip Numbsers and machine
/ workgroup names in the host. You can also make the samba  do the name
translation , Wins I think. Not sure thought. am new at this.

OK, i will tell you: "VMWare"

one use:
You could setup 12 virtual linux machines on one real box, network them
together and learn about NIS administration ;-)

econd use:
you can run MS applications under linux.
you can winnuke windows from linux and get the blue screen...

third use:
you can just watch vmware work and say: "this is cool"
i like when it counts memory during boot :-)

No, please don't remove it... As I wrote in another mail to

have to distinguish this list from everything else in my

I currently run an AMD K-6/400 with 256mb RAM, I have
an 8.2GB HDD as primary and an old 1.2GB as a
secondary.

I decided to try out vmware just to see how powerful
it could be, and also because I did not feel up to
figuring out wine.

I was very impressed, now you could assume that my
being impressed is because I have a lot of RAM and a
fairly decent processor. True.. I did not see any
degrading of performance using NT (I allocated 96mb of
RAM and 1GB  of HDD space for NT) I have yet to have a
problem... (Knock on very large piece of wood)

The network set up flawlessly between the vmware NT
and the NT box I have for burning CD's and scanning.
(Sorry.. no SCSI CDRW or Scanner devices.. AKK!)

If you have to work on a Micro$oft project I would
highly suggest checking out vmware.. or if you are a
die hard Micro$oft fan.. and just have to have your
daily dose of M$ to get your heart going... Then try
this out..

The only thing I do not like about vmware is the
price.
No.. I am not suggesting it should be free. I feel
that the initial special offering of $75 should hold
as the permenant price.. (IMHO!)

So give it a try.. heck it has a 30 day tryout
license.
I don't think you will be unhappy.

Hi,

  I've got a bit of a problemette at the moment. Our network is an
amalgamation
  of Windows 9x, Windows NT (Workstation and Server), SuSE Linux and MacOS
  machines.

Say, this sounds like it could be fun :-)

  I've begin to do this by moving over to TCP/IP. I've been trying to use
Samba,
  and have successfully managed to get Windows to connect to a Linux
machine.
  The other way around, however, is a big no-no. I can't, and I've tried
many
  times, to get Linux to access a Windows share. 

Samba is as good a place to start as any.
What version of Samba are you running? 
How are you trying to moung the Win shares?
Are your hosts and lmhosts files set up properly? (in Linux and Win)

  I have yet to try it with MacOS, but expect the same, if not more,
problems.

The Mac samba client is called "Dave". I believe the latest version is 2.1.
I remember there being a compatibility problem between earlier versions of
Dave and Samba 1.9.?, as a result you should run Samba >2.0.  We'll burn
that bridge after we cross it :-)

I have tried repeatedly to remove myself from this list.  Hopefully the 
list administrator will see this post and remove me?  The instructions from 
the bot seem to not work very well, so now I have to spam the list in hopes 
that this will be noticed, and my account removed.

The reason I am removing myself from the list is because I filter the 
traffic by subject into folders.  But it seems that this list likes to 
randomly change the [suse-linux-e], [s-l-e], and now [SLE] thing.  Since I 
do not do my email every 10 minutes, I usually end up with 100 posts in my 
inbox because mail filters don't automagically change with the mailing list 
headers.  That makes it rather difficult to sift through my non-linux 
related emails.

And then the unsubscribe link doesn't unsubscribe you.  Argh.

Hello

I was once subscribed to this list, but due to problems with my mail account
and that I was going to change my ISP, I unsubscribed. Now I've changed my
ISP and my mailbox works fine, so I'm here again :-)

As I said the last time, sorry if my English is not perfect. I'm from Spain
no English is not my native language. I'm sure there are more non native
English-speakers in this list ;-) so probably I'm telling you something you
already knew.

I use S.u.S.E 5.3 and I'm trying to "transfer" everything from windows to
linux. I want to make sure that everything works under linux before doing
the "transfer".

Now that I have introduced myself... the question :-)

I want to install BitchX on my machine, so the first thing I did is to look
among the packages in the SuSe CD. I found that BitchX wasn't there, so I
decided to download it from www.bitchx.com. I downloaded, ungzipped and
untared a file with the name "BitchX+Tcl-75p3-Linux-glibc2-i386.tgz". When I
try to execute BitchX, it says that it needs libncurses 3.4. On my system I
only have libncurses 3.0 (which come with the distribution CDs) so  I also
decided to download libncurses from FreshMeat. There I found libncurses 5.0
beta. I have tried to compile them following the instructions (that is,
making "./configure" and "make install"), but the libraries still don't
appear in my "/lib" directory and therefore BitchX doesn't run.

How could I solve the problem.

Thank you very much for your help.

Hello.

Surely the problem regarding printers and parallel port zip drives has been
discussed before. I also think there's a web at www.torque.net, but I can't
remember well. Anyway, I'll ask you the question :-)

As I told you in my last message, I use SuSE 5.3, with kernel 2.2.10. I've
tried to recompile the kernel so that it supports my parallel zip drive and
my printer. I've tried nearly everything (including all the options in the
kernel, compiling them as modules...) but nothing works.

My printer is a HP 720c. It seems I have configured my "printcap" ok with
YaST, but the thing is that it doesn't print.
When I try to print sth with the lpr command, and then do "lpq" to see the
queue, at the top it says "Waiting for printer (offline?)". Of course my
printer is on when I try to print or to see the queue.

How can I configure my kernel or whatever so that it works? (if you think
it's better to give me the URL I won't have any problems; I'm a bit lost
with this subject so any help is very useful).

Regards,

I'm a full believer in the concept of a bastion host.  That is a machine that
is heavily fortified to protect the machines on the inside.  Set up an old 486
as a router/firewall and put your workstation on a LAN inside the firewall.=20
That gives the attackers twice the number of computers to attack, and gives y=
ou
the opportunity to receive a mail warning if the firewall is compromised.  My
firewall runs a cron job to check the integrity of key files (passwd, group,
shadow) once a minute, and if they change, I get e-mail.

My ISP protects all comms, too - so an attacker has all the privacy they need
to break in.  Been there twice.

I too have a cable modem, and over the past year or so there have been
at least a dozen unwelcomed attempts to enter my machine.  You can't
rely on your ISP for any help with this.

I would suggest that you disable all services you don't absolutely need,
such as finger, daytime etc. I also suggest disabling ftp, telnet, and
rlogin.  If you need to login to your machine from a remote location,
use the much more secure SSH.  You can comment out the services you
don't need in the files /etc/rc.config and /etc/inetd.

You might also want to use a program such as nessus (www.nessus.org) to
test for vulnerability.

Thanks for the info. I did it yesterday for my work machine and it
worked like a champ. In my ignorance, I just assumed that by enabling it
in the kernel, it would automatically work. It didn't. The magic bullet
was the "halt -p".=20

Later...failed again. Now xfstt is looking for a (script?) file called
" /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions "

It's not on my system, nor can Yast find it on the distro CDs.

If anyone has this, could they send me a copy or give me more details,
please.

        I would like you not to make a personal attack on me, I have not seen
you very much on this list and for you to ask I be deleted shows extreme
gaul. I don't care to be made an example of and I joined this list to
discuss SuSE Linux, I enjoy Linux very much, and If I want to leave the
damn Windows world which I am forced to interact with every day for a
discussion about Linux then so be it. I am not a " zealot " for Linux,
but instead I am just a plain advocate of Unix. We have a topic called
SuSE Linux an sometimes people need help with integrating their Unix
boxes and their Windows box..fine that is acceptable. When someone says
that we should stop bashing M$ on our private yet public list on a topic
that we hold dear to our hearts then you can just go to hell ..got
that...
        We get made fun of everyday from Windows users who know very little if
anything about Unix/Linux and have to put up with extremely insensitive
and bold comments from them. I will make jabs at any other OS that is
not in the topic of this list. I don't do it very often, but when
someone tells me I can not and they are not the moderators of this list,
then I get a bit pissed off. I don't join Windows NT lists and ask a
bunch of Linux questions and I would expect to get a little fun poked at
me and flamed more then once if I did do this. Please do not make bold
assumptions about what mean, what I do..or what I think..and if you want
to send you mail to this list from whatever client you like..so be
it..who gives a damn. If you want to learn about Linux then shut up and
learn. You jump up and put my name forward as a complainer and that is
just rude.

Why not filtering the "to" or "cc" to include "suse-linux-e"?
That's just an example but you don't have to filter the subject.
Just a tip;)

yes it does.

if you want to put multiple images on the diskette -- create a file system
on it, mount it, and use as a partition.
if you reference /dev/fd0 in your tar command --> all data on the diskette
is destroyed.
you can stack multiple images on a single tape using a no-rewind
option.

Not really.  Right now my filter is set for Sender, To, CC and Subject =
suse-linux and STILL this made it into my CRAP file. Fortunately I don't
have anything set to DELETE...

Whatever it's going to be, DECIDE AND STICK TO IT!

I believe this is discussed here in the Zip mini-howto. If I remember
right you load the zip driver (ppa or imm depending on what Zip drive
you have) and then load the lp driver.

I get daily scans/attempts on my cable line and my DSL line.  You are 100%
correct.  Both my ISPs really don't care.

You can get SSH at:

Need a bit more info here.  What arguments are you giving to smbmount when
you try to mount a Windows share from Linux?  Also, for Dave's Mac issue
he would need to install client software on the Macs to access Windows
shares (I believe one of the programs is called Dave).

Many of you have noticed that all of the mailing lists at suse.com have
changed to using a new mailing list software. We did this for a number
of reasons. The new software is significantly easier and both makes
administration easier for us and using it easier for you.

Many of you have expressed concern about rules you used to use to sort
mail now not working anymore because of changes in the Subject: line or
other changes in the headers.

It is reccomended that you sort mail not by the To:, Cc: or Subject:
lines but rather by the X-Mailinglist: line. Every message sent to you
by our mailing list software for the suse-linux-e list will contain this
line:

X-Mailinglist: suse-linux-e

We will continue to add this line no matter what software we may use now
or in the future.

If you have any questions about the list or suggestions, please send me
email at jerdfelt(a)suse.com

Have you tried to change the port address to Lp0 from Lp1.  I had this
problem when I switched to the 2.2.x kernel.

Hope this helps,

I=C2=92m back!

Finally decided to tackle this Linux thing again.  I have two questions.

1.	What file do I need to edit if I want something to run when the machine
is booted, not necessarily with anyone logged in.
2.	I forgot the syntax to run a program that is not in the root.

TIA

Hi,

I have got Samba to "look" at my Windows NT and 95 share quite successfully.
The only way I got this to work is by getting the Win95 boxes to see my
Linux machine.  Then setting all the shares on my linux box to public.
Sounds strange huh?

On the linux box, I did use 'smbmount'  with all the required options taken
from the man page to mount a share and use it very well, without a hitch.

* If you email me privately I will give you the scripts that are set up in
Samba and the config for the win95 machines to see each other. *

Ok, this is the last thing I will say on the subject. If you notice the
:P at the end of the message I was being sarcastic towards a thread that
ran a few months ago. I am not smug towards virus's, I believe every
Windows user should have an antivirus program with up to date .dat
files.
An if because I made a comment that I will bash crapware on a private
list if I do it in the rare instance and people can not deal with it
then proc filter me out. I mean no harm to anyone and people can run
whatever they like, I could care less. I just won't be told not to make
comparisions when I am not making them...simple..to the point no BS. I
have no malice towards anyone and I won't be the focal point of some "
lets get rid of people who don't like MS " I have been an active member
of this list for many months, and I will continue to be. I try to help
people where I can and be productive. I don't like how some list newbie
singles me out in his mail and starts a really unproductive thread at my
expense. If those in power want me to leave to the regulars do then fine
I would. But if you have been around for a bit you know that I try to
help and that I don't do extesive M$ bashing. I do lots of advocacy work
here in St. Louis for Linux..etc..etc. Don't try to run me out on a rail
cause that's just rude as hell.
Well, I guess unless I am answering a Linux question I will just keep my
MCSE having mouth shut ;) It's like your mom always said if you can't
say something nice..don't say anything at all..which includes picking
someone out to make examples of and pick quotes out without knowing what
was up behind them :P

Hello SusE Folks,

  Well, I finally got myself another network card today for the new
  machine. However, I can't seem to get it to see the rest of the
  network or the gateway. :(

  This is how the network is currently set up:

  [3 machines]--------[SuSE box]---[modem]----**Internet**
                 |
               (hub)

  I tried to ping several machines on the network (with their ips') but
  get 100% packet loss, and no lights flash on the hub.

  Here is the 'route' output for scratchy (the non-working machine):

  Kernel IP routing table
  Destination       Gateway  Genmask          Flags    Metric   Ref   Use   I=

  All the other machines on the network (which are Windows98) work
  fine. If anyone has any suggestions, please do let me know with some
  gentle (newbie-certified(tm)) instructions. :-)

  If you need any more information, please do let me know what you
  need and I will try to find out for you.

Thanks to all for your help, but I have a question: My linux SuSeE 6.1 oficial
manual says in page 245 :

        /dev/lp1        lpt1(dos name)
        /dev/lp2        lpt2( "   "  )
        /dev/lp0        lpt3( "   "  )

 but my printer is connected to lpt1 in dos and works in /dev/lpt0. Why ???

Thanks

  Actually, you can filter for the 'To' line, which never changes,
unless a user messages you privately, but then you can tell if it went
to the list or not.

Just wanted to let everyone know that I finally stuck with the Linux thing.
Good thing too!  My firewall is running A LOT faster.  Just hope someone
will answer my 2 questions.

I would also add that you might want to not receive mail using 
sendmail (unless you want to do *quite a bit* of very hefty reading.  
Also, if you need telnet and ftp, use ssh instead.

Actually, no I cannot filter (reliably) with the To: line,
because it does indeed change. When people select reply to
all recipients (in Pine 4.04 at least), the To: field
contains only the address of the original poster, while the
list address is in the CC: field.

Depending on the specific application, it should be possible
to get it to run under Wine and/or VMware. Since you say it
runs under Win3.11 as well as Win95, Wine would probably
work. IMO with Wine you can integrate the application more
seamlessly with the rest of your desktop/window manager than
with wmware.

If you told us what specific program you were talking about,
perhaps we could give more specific help. (Or suggest
alternative programs that exist for Linux)

I totally and utterly agree. And IF they for some reason or
other decide to change it again some time, give a notice AT
LEAST one week in advance instead of just changing. They
obviously didn't think this time, or they would have known
they would mess up quite a few mailboxes out there.

It also seems like it is A LOT faster than the old one. When
I send to the list now, I get the mail back in less than a
minute. That's impressive indeed, since it is actually
sending it twice instead of just once. ;-)

That is very nice for people who have that option.
Unfortunately, I don't. I can ONLY sort by From:, To: and
Subject:.

If you decide to change the subject line in the future,
please tell us in advance, so we can have our filters set up
correctly before you change it.

Yes, use xfstt from ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/X11/fonts/.
I just use the fonts from all the free sites found on Yahoo,=20
but if you have some already, make sub-directory like "/usr/ttfonts"
as xfstt looks there for one.

After compiling and installing, do this......

You have to run xfstt twice:

xfstt --sync
xfstt &

then:
xset fp+ unix/:7100 <--- Not sure exactly
xset fp rehash

Now you can use the fonts in apps like Gimp.

Hi,

Whaow, bunch of answers there :) !!

So cool I guess i'll need few days to explore them all.

as I have only one machine, I cannot do the "fortified bastion" technique,
however I already deleted the services files :)

I'll go trough the reading and everything those next days thanks to everybody.
If you have something more, I'll take it anyway :)

Thanks again to

Best Regards

GH Portefait

Hello.

First of all, thank you to everybody who tried to help :-)

I'm more interested now in printing than in using the zip drive, but thank
you for provinding the info on zip-minihowto.

That's what I've tried:

I went to http://www.httptech.com/ppa/ (as Mike told me) and downloaded
pbm2ppa (I think it intends to be a program to be able to print with
GDI/Windows printers). After compiling, installing and configuring it
following the instructions in INSTALL and INSTALL-MORE, I tried to print.

Then I get the message: /usr/local/printascii: /dev/lp1: no such device
(printascii is a script you have to generate to make it work).
I went to /dev and made a simple "ls" to see if lp0, lp1 and lp2 existed.
And they exist.
Changing the script to make it work with lp0 it happens the same. And the
same with lp2.

If I try to make "lpr file_I_want_to_print", the first line of the output is
"waiting for printer to become ready (offline?)".
If I make "lsmod", the module "lp" is in the list. In the column on the
right it says "0 (autoclean) (unused)".

I've recompiled the kernel to support the printer in the kernel and not as a
module, but it happens the same.

What should I do?

Thank you again

you need smbmount - there are a number of graphical clients like
LinNeighborhood (guess what that mimics). I connect to my NT4 shares fine
using this. Don't forget that to access shares you need password/username
pairs known by NT etc, and probably encrypted passwords unless you want to
hack every Win pc's registry.

Oh boy, you are really pissed aren't you.

Well I am a newbie on Linux and I joined this list just a couple of days 
ago and when I read something about Linux being the best and M$ being the 
worst, then I thought, oh no, not another MS vs Linux discussion list.

First of all:
You had a little fun poked at you, but I guess it was not interpreted that 
way. It was not my intention to attack anyone personally, so hereby: Ben 
Rosenberg: My true apologies.

Second:
It was just my intention to state that I get bored of such discussions. I 
am a Windows user, yes, I am, and in my company we are thinking about 
having a Linux box to act as file- print- and mailserver for 
Windows-clients. So if anyone want to say that windows is bad and linux is 
good, well do so somewhere else, because I already know about the  pros and 
cons of MS. I just want my Linux box to interact with some Windows boxes 
and that's it. I dont care if someone thinks I make a mistake or whatever 
but don't say it because I am not interested. When I have a question about 
M$Outlook communicating with sendmail I don't want to hear that I'd better 
drop Windows and get a Linux workstation, or something in that kind, 
because if I wanted to do so, I would have already done it and would not 
ask such questions.

Third:
About my going to hell: I won't, I will just keep on this list and hope of 
some fine answers on my questions which will undoubtfully be about Windows 
interacting with a Linux server. A little joke about Microsoft or Linux or 
whatever is OK every now and than, it's fun, it's good, but I still do want 
a serious answer on my questions.

I hope you all are professionals enough to forgive me my (not intended) 
mistake.

Grtx Hans Bouwers

Hi,

I'm trying to get atalk working to provide macintosh file services for our ne=
twork, but it does not start up during boot and if I give a command line like:

        /etc/rc.d/init.d/atalk start

the console returns:

        Starting netatalk:socket: Invalid argument
        socket: Invalid argument
        atalkd: can't get interfaces, exiting.
        failed  =20

How can I find out what socket it is trying to use and what/how might I chang=
e this to allow the atalk daemon to startup?

Thanks

Hi,

Last night I re-installed my Linux onto my new 17GB disk, and I made a swap
file on my old 1Gb SCSI disk. I use this disk just to hold swap files in
Windows, NT and now Linux.

When I had finished the install, rebooted, I got  an error and a system stop
when it came to find the swap partition, and the boot procedure then hung.
The error was 

'unable to get major 8 for SCSI disk'

I removed the Linux partition from that disk, and made another on the 17GB
one and all is OK, apart from the above error on the SCSI disk.

Once into Linux I can mount the SCSI no problem. Anyone got any idea's as to
what this means.

Thanks

Good to hear, that it now works for you.

It's something that I'd call a documentation bug.  p. 245 isn't clear
enough, that it's still talking about kernel 2.0.xx -- please, turn the
sheet an read p. 246.

This inconvenience will is fixed in the forthcoming manual.

By far the easiest way is get an XServer with the xfstt extention stuff
compiled in. You just plug it in over the top of your current XF86, set
up the fonts directory and it works. I don't know if there's such a
thing for SuSE (I use SuSE on my server which doesn't run X) but there
is one for RHL5.1 which I've used for a long time, and it works a treat.
IIRC the rpm only has one file in it (XF86_SVGA in my case) so it would
almost certainly slot into SuSE without any trouble (but take backups of
your current server and config first!).

While catching up with my E-Mail, I noticed a message on our suse-axp
mailinglist. Someone managed to install SuSE AXP on a Multia! There were
some issues, but it worked somehow. Check the mailing list archive for the
full story.

"When it's ready and not before" is the only answer you'll get to that.
I recall someone mentioning that XFree86 4.0 might be ready by the end
of the year, but that was unofficial (there is no 'official') and
certainly couldn't be relied on.

So, no, don't skip any upgrades waiting for something in particular. You
could be waiting months.

As someone pointed out, what will never change  and is stable, is the
following:
"X-Mailinglist: suse-linux-e"

And that's what I am filtering on. I usually also filter on coffee grind,
dust, pollen, tar (occasionally), tea leaves and well... actually you could
say I am a filter freak. I filter hundreds of litres of air every day.  :-)

Hello,

1)  According to the manual, put the full path of the script/program in
/sbin/init.d/boot.d

2)  I don't understand this question.  To get any program to run it is
sufficient to use the full path name i.e. /home/jrandomuser/foo or (more
likely) /usr/X11R6/bin/xfoo

Here's one for ya,

If I wanted to install a new program in Suse, and I had multiple download
choices, which do I choose?

I guess I should get the source, and compile it myself, unless there is a
precompiled binary version already availiable that is the same as my current
distribution version.

Or will the binary for RedHat 5.0 work just fine?

I know it's a stupid question, but there are plenty of newbies on this list.

Help

Ex.

Version: Stable 1.5          ddt-src-1.5.tar.gz   <-- example only
Binaries:    Generic          ddt-bin-1.5.tgz
Binaries:    RedHat 4.2      ddt-1.5-2.i386.rh42.rpm
Binaries:    RedHat 5.0      ddt-1.5-2.i386.rh50.rpm

Thanks - found the article (GDI printers) after I posted the question (of cou=
rse).
Followed the instructions & it worked like a charm.  Well, almost.  When I pr=
int
a text file (like from kedit in KDE), it prints in very tiny print and in lan=
dscape
format.  I remembered seeing this in the list previously so I searched the ma=
il
list archives and found the answer :-).  I haven't tried it yet but it looks =
like the
right stuff - at least for the landscape vs portrait problem anyway.

I am still not sure why it prints with such a tiny  font though...?  I notice=
d that
if I opened a KFM window and then chose file/print from the menu, it printed
the contents of the window (folder icons) in portrait orientation, and with n=
ormal-
looking font size.  Curious.

Anyway, in case someone else runs into the same orientation problem, the

Yes, but glibc2.0, not glibc2.1. You may need another RPM. SuSE 6.2 will
be based on glibc2.1.

Sorce is fine if you're happy compiling & installing the package. Try SuSE's
ftp site for packages & updates.

You may be able to use rpms for other distribs - bear it in mind that you
may need to install other packages to satisfy broken dependencies (eg,
libraries) if you do. This can get rapidly out of hand. You'll usually find
anything useful is already on the SuSE site.

No --- almost all glibc2.0 compiled programs will work on a glibc2.1
system.  The exceptions are programs which use undocumented features
of glibc2.0 that went away.

Programs compiled on a glibc2.1 system may not work on a glibc2.0
system if the person compiling has not installed a glibc2.0
compatability development library.

My opinion --- always install, never upgrade, and do not use software
you do not have the source for.  That said, I have three machines
running glibc2.1 and one running glibc2.0 without a single problem or
hastle.

That's why SuSE keep on releasing updates - unfortunately the pre-compiled
stuff must all be replaced when glibc2.1 is installed. You could just
download the sources & compile it all yourself :(

Hi and sorry,

with the new server at suse, i couldnŽt post into the list anymore, but

I've been trying to get SuSE working since April. I have a great stable
system, that I can use with confidence, I use Star office 5,1, Netscape, and
all I am missing is getting the connection to the Internet sorted, but I'll
get it sorted when I have time.

I have found just about everybody on this list friendly, a great help and a
real source of useful information, I don't think that you would beat that in
any other e-mail list. AND we have SuSE & RH people on the list to help out
as well. Good for you RH for 'listening in' as well.

Well done all of you, and a big thanks to everyone who has helped me in the
past.

Is it correct to say that there is zero chance of a program linked
against glibc2.0 working when it is linked against glibc2.1?

If so, how are we supposed to upgrade our libraries without upgrading
every single package on the machine? I thought the libc5 to libc6 (aka
glibc2) effort was going to be the last major upheaval...

The SuSE one, if it exists. If it doesn't get the source and compile it
yourself.

Correct.

Binaries can be made to work if you know a few technical details about
the distribution which the package was made for. In particular, you need
to know the libc version the package was compiled for. If you know that,
and you have that library on the machine, you can arrange things so that
the package is linked against the correct library when you run it. You
need to know what you are doing though.

Such things are best avoided if at all possible. If any software vendor
tries to make you jump through these sorts of hoops, you might want to
question whether you should be supporting their software. Wordperfect
comes to mind.

You'll never get native performance.....as long as you can use nt4 running
native on a 64Mb P75 you'll be fine (many users here on that spec). Use raw
disk partitions rather than virtual ide's for a more sprightly performance.
You'll really need a graphics card with hardware acceleration useable by X
as well for peak perkiness.

Whew! That's a relief. I thought I read somewhere that StarOffice broke
against glib2.1 (possibly on RHL systems). Am I mistaken or did
StarOffice do something naughty?

Aloha,

It's that time, and as promised, I need those of you
who are sysadmins to participate in my study (see
signature file).

I need survey participants to take the survey at
http://gtoft.dynip.com/thesis .  I would appreciate any
help you can lend, including taking the survey.

Finally, could anyone point me in the right direction?  
I'm looking for some system administrators who use one
or more of the following operating systems: UnixWare,
Solaris, Netware, or Windows NT on one or more of the 
following hardware platforms: Intel, Alpha, or SPARC.
These NT guys are pretty hard to find!

Thank you.

Hi,

I would supply more information, but since my last attempt to get it to
work(a couple of weeks ago and before I joined this list), I have some
how completely broken it. I can't see my Samba server from the NT/Win95
side now at all. I am going to start from scratch again and see what
happens. If I get completely stuck again, I will document errors and all
and submit them.  I appreciate all the responses from everyone. This
leaves me very hopeful that I will get this up and going with everyone's
help. Thanks.

Hi Tim:
        Sounds like a problem I had not long ago.  Is the new 17GB drive by c=
hance
an IDE?  If so, you're probably trying to use the wrong kernel.  If you are
using the eide01 kernel, it doesn't provide SCSI support until modules are
loaded which is after booting.  You would need to use the scsi01 kernel
which is NOT just for SCSI.  It boots IDE drives but has SCSI support built
into the kernel, not as a module.

Hope this helps,
Tom

I have SuSE Linux 6.1 installed with the 2.2.10 kernel and KDE 1.1.1
installed. I would like to try out GNOME 1.0, but every time I try the
command startx gnome it says that XFree is not yet configured. My
problem is that I had to go to a commerical X-server due to the fact
that XFree doesn't support my graphics chip. I am using Accelerated X
Ver 5.0 by Xi Graphics. How do I go about seting up the link so that
error doesn't keep poping up? Is Gnome better than KDE? I would like to
hear others opinion on that subject.

Hi,

  I have SuSE Linux 6.1 installed with the 2.2.10 kernel and KDE 1.1.1
  installed. I would like to try out GNOME 1.0, but every time I try the
  command startx gnome it says that XFree is not yet configured. My
  problem is that I had to go to a commerical X-server due to the fact
  that XFree doesn't support my graphics chip. I am using Accelerated X
  Ver 5.0 by Xi Graphics. How do I go about seting up the link so that
  error doesn't keep poping up?
  
I had the same problem with my laptop. The easiest way is to run xf86config
(the text based one) and go through the whole thing picking any server you
might have installed (like svga or something), do not let it probe anything,
do not let it make the link, don't let it do anything except make the
configuration file. Whatever is causing the error will now happy because
you've "configured" X. 

Accelerated X won't care because it uses a different configuration style.

Unfortunately, I went through this before I found out my video card/LCD
works with XFree if the kernel is compiled with frame buffer support.

  Is Gnome better than KDE?
???

Good luck,
Tim

You may also need to add a line to your XF86Config file.  Consult the
instructions...

The bad thing is that if you want to use bold fonts for Netscape
documents, you have to include the bold TT font in the ttfonts
subdirectory -- while NS allows you to specify attributes for QUOTED
material in mail or postings, it doesn't allow it for normal documents
or compositions.  Moreover, it will only see the FIRST font with a given
name, so if you have both Comic and Comic bold fonts in your ttfonts
directory, it will only use the first one it encounters.  Crude, huh? 
What really gripes me is that the Arial bold font from my win95
installation is the most readable one :-(

Maybe NS 5.0 will be better...

Sendmail on SuSE 6.1 comes with relaying disabled.  It's an anti-spam
thing.   To get round it, create yourself an /etc/mail/relay-domains and
enter the names of the domains you want to allow relay access.

I had to do this to allow sendmail to pass Email sent from Win98
running inside VMware.

Btw, the answer to this is in SuSE's online trouble shooting database.  It's
always a good place to look first.

Cheers,

Hi Team

Please excuse me as I am a newbie.  Can someone explain to me, or give me a
pointer to an explanation of the question: "What is glibc2.0?"

I expect the question I am asking is very basic, not the sort of thing this
list need to be cluttered with, some pointers to the answers that a dumb
might ask, would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

1.  You can use boot.local

2.  Either /the/full/path/to/the/file-to-run   or, if you are already in
the directory where the file is: /.file-to-run

Linux, because it's STABLE, the source code is included, the price is

Quick question.  I want to run the seti(a)home <mailto:seti(a)home>  client on
my new Linux box but I am unsure of the gnulibc(?) version that SuSE 6.1 is
using.  If anyone has gotten this to work, please drop me a line.

TIA

I recently installed SuSE linux 6.1 and I'm trying to get ppp to work. So
far I have everything working and when I type wvdial at a prompt I can use
various internet services. My question concerns disconnecting. I read the
man pages for wvdial and there is nothing there. There are no options suchs
as wvdial -d to disconnect. Right now the only way I know is to kill the
program but this does not hang up my modem correctly. Any help would be
appreciated.

There is one other question I had that someone might be able to explain.
When you view permissions for a file sometimes you see s instead of x under
the execute column. What does the s mean? I read the man pages for chmod but
I couldn't really understand what they were talking about. Also, can you set
s for all users? I tried but it didn't work.

Thanks,
Avery Fay

  Well just so you know, as long as there are alternative operating
systems out there, it doesn't matter what list you join, there will be
discussions of those operating systems as well. Usually in the form
of, "I can't communicate with.." or somethign to that effect. Windows
will be brought up alot on this and many other lists simply because,
windows is a very dominating OS. In this particular instance, this
person wanted to access particular programs and functions from his
Linux machine. In other instances a users gonna want to link his
Win98/NT/Mac/Amiga/etc in some way or form, so that he can print, play
games, surf the internet or what have you. So please, don;t think just
because you here about another operating system that this whole list
is having an OS war.

  You'll here that one as well in all the other lists, thats prolly
one of the easiest things for a Linux user to say is, "Drop that
stupid OS and get Linux". You'll see that one any number of times on
this list, RedHat, Caldera's etc..
  Best advice I can give is, "If you don't want to here it, Don't read
it." thats what the delete key is for.

  Wise choice, you will undoubtedly receive many answers to many
questions. Sometimes not as quickly as you would like, just be
patient, not everyone is at the computer that they receive this list
on, so it could take a day or two sometimes before an answer is sent.

Ok, I tried to run something at boot (boot.local), with one problem.  It
seems that it was running before the network drivers were loaded.  I need
this daemon to run at runlevel 2(?), whichever is the last one it reaches
before it drops you to the login prompt.

Hello Chris,
If you have a pentium or K6 use the i386, for PII and above use the i686
versions. As for gnulibc I'm using
setiathome-1.3.i386-pc-linux-gnu-gnulibc2.1.tar on SuSE 6.1 on a K6-333

Hope this helps,
Mike

One thing I found out is that if you have the dummy interface enabled, the
Samba server cannot be seen/browsed though it can be accessed.

Is there a way to divide a tar file (or any file, for that matter) into
95-meg files?  I'd like to take an ISO CD-ROM image and put it onto Zip
disks, but I've never seen anything that was a drop-and-run solution.  Any
ideas/thoughts/flames? :)

It doesn't matter where the offices are necessarily they still have to: A)
Have xDSL available in that area.  B) Test the line at the
residence/business office you are moving into to check for available speeds.

Try calling some CLECs (Competitive Local Exchange Carriers).  They will
probably be more willing to tell you if xDSL is available at a certain
area/address.  Covad, www.covad.com or Northpoint www.northpoint.net.

I SERIOUSLY advise that you do *NOT* purchase your xDSL service through GTE.
I had it here in Southern California.  It was the worst experience dealing
with any company in my entire life.

Try Flashcom.  www.flashcom.com   They have a database of addresses in my
area and can tell you if/what is available.  I think they sell service in
your area.

Best of luck,

Mario

This is something I got to grips with for the first time a few weeks
ago, so while it's still fresh in my mind, here's my newbie
recollections of how to do it:

1) As root, go to /sbin/init.d

2) Take the skeleton file, copy it into the same diretory as something
sensible (let's say 'mydaemon'). Or copy one of the other existing files
in the directory.

3) Edit mydaemon - at first sight, it looks hairy, but look more closely
and there's actually very little to change in it. The minimum you really
need IMHO is:

a) Change the 'FOO's to 'MYDAEMON' in the header area.
b) Edit for the 'start' option: (i) foo -> mydaemon (ii) Uncomment the
startproc line (iii) Change the startproc line to reflect your program.
c) Similarly for the 'stop' option, but this time it's a killproc you
edit.
d) If you feel so inclined, do similar stuff for restart, reload,
status, probe - although the first time I did this I just commented them
all out!

4) Now you have a single file, 'mydaemon' in /sbin/init.d. Don't go
doing what I did - trying to drop copies and links to in into the
/sbin/init.d/rc2.d type directories....=20

5) Now the really neat bit: do 'rctab -e'. This drops you into the
editor, with a table of all the different startup tasks in columns,
where each column reflects a different run level. This sounds complex,
but is actually very simple when you do it. Now simply go to the bottom
of the column for, say, run level 2 and 3, and insert 'mydaemon' in
place of the dashes that are currently there.

6) Do a normal vi :wq to leave the editor, and you will now find that in
(in this case) rc2.d and rc3.d there are now magically Snnmydaemon and
Knnmydaemon links, back up to your original file.

7) That's about it! Do an 'init s' then back up with 'init 2' and see
what happens.

I hope you feel as satisfied as I did when this first worked for
me...!!!

Cheers,
Sean

Hi,

If your 720c is like my 722 and the 820 you need to check out -

http://www.httptech.com/ppa/software.html

You need a special driver to be able to print with my 722 it is a bit of a
pain to set up.  I still haven't gotten everything perfectly straight but I
have been
trying for a couple of weeks and I am a Linux neophyte.  By the way, color
support is only at the alpha stage.

Jon,

Try split.  I've never used it for something like what you're proposing
but it is worth a look.  cat f1 f2...>> whole file should put things
together again.  Should be easy to test it.

Ooops, almost forgot one other thing. EITHER:

1) Edit /etc/rc.config and insert a 'START_MYDAEMON=3Dyes'
2) SuSEconfig

OR

1) Comment out the two test lines in the header of your file mydaemon -
the ones that check to see if START_MYDAEMON are set to yes.

Sorry...

Using Sendmail 8.9.3, I keep getting lots of these sorts of messages:

Jul 24 00:46:57 server sendmail[32297]: AAA32297: collect: premature EOM: Con=

It only seems to happen with some servers.

Does anyone know if I have something configured incorrectly?

Hello SuSE folks!

Could somebody answer me in what cases we need to use squid proxy server?
Should I use it if I have static IP with 24x7 dedicated analog connection.
I'm not running currenly any CGI scripts or an active web site context.
And also should I use squid server if I get an xDSL connection with static IP?

Many thanks for any responses
Alex

I just picked up two 486's sitting on the street waiting for 
the garbage truck to come by.  So I prevented filling the 
land fill with two cases.  Now all I need are a couple hard 
drives.

Hi, I recompiled my kernal about 2 weeks ago and have been meaning to ask
this:
When it asks what chip I have, what whould I pick if I have a K6-II?  I
think I picked P5/Normal Pentium.  Shoule I have picked PII?
I hear that it doesn't really make a difference because the code isn't
enhanced for the newer chips, is that right?

Any/all Help is appreciated.

voodoo 3 cards.  The one from SuSE 6.1 only shown the
choice of Banshee and that is.

Also, how is sax compare to XF86Setup and Xconfigurator,
any comments are welcome.

Does anyone have some info regarding how to get around the ~2GB file
limit in Linux?  I seem to remember that it can be done, but can't 
remember where I saw that.  Also, is it true that ALPHA based Linux
(the new SuSE) does not have this limitation?  Thanx

I am trying to install SuSE 6.1 onto a Compaq LTE 486/75 laptop with 16 Meg
or RAM.  I boot with the boot disk, set up my PCMCIA card (it's recognized
as an ne200, port 0x300, IRQ 3, chip set i82365, no parameters entered for
the chip set).  

I tell it to install via FTP and put in all the correct IP addresses. I
successfully connect to another SuSE 6.1 box and it starts to load.  The
dialog box says "Loading data into ram disk" and it freezes at about 80%
done. :-(

Now what do I do? ;-(

Hi All -

Thanks to those who tossed some good ideas my way regarding Zip drives &
installation thereof. 

There are a whole new set of problems now.

1) My floppy won't work. /etc/fstab reads properly, but i get an error
message that /dev/fd0 is not a valid block device. (It was at one time).

2) The zip drive is not sda4, nor hdd4, nor anything at all...yet.

3) I have all the kernel support for the zipdrive. I'm still getting
unresolved symbols at boot-time.

4) I have read the HOW_TO's. All of them. Not that it has done me ANY
good. Please - is there *any* other document NOT included in the 6.1
distro that would help?

Any suggestions - OTHER than reading the HOW-TO's - would be most
welcome.

Thanks in advance...

Is there any way to send a binary file, either as attachment or
otherwise just readable, in a script? the mail command send it but its
garbage once you receive it. Thanks

Okay, that seems to be working.  Although I forgot how small 500 Megs is!

Now, the question is: does the FTP installation work or not?  If not, I'd
like to tell my students that.

Are you using 2.2.x or 2.0.x? I thought under 2.2.x there was a K6 option
(or there was an option that listed a bunch of CPU's and K6 was one of
them.) Anyway, it does make a difference. I have a cyrix 6x86 150 I
thought I could use the pentium kernel with it (2.2.9) but the pentium
kernel doesn't work with cyrix 6x86's!

Anyway, if you don't see an option for K6 just use what works. Maybe try
putting a kernel for p2 on a floppy and see if it will boot :) If you
don't use that kernel all the time it will at least be interesting to see
what happens.

later,

Matt.

Use mmencode or uuencode to translate the binary in base64 encoding.

Or, if you script is Perl, there must be plenty modules to play with.

I'm using 2.2.5(?) the standard one that came wwith 6.1.  I haven't
bothered to get a new modem yet.  (i had to pull the :bleh: winmodem out
of my DX4/100).  When I get a new one, I plan on upgrading the kernal, 
KDE, etc.

Hi,

I always installed linux over ftp, including suse 5.2, 5.3, 6.0 and all
the updates (thanks to rpm).
sorry, i did not try to install 6.1 over ftp: i ftp'ed that evaluation iso
image and burnt a CD :-)

I have a k6-3 400 and there is an option for it .. just use 'make
xconfig' and you shall see it. Once this is done it runs increadibly
fast, I would never buy Intel again. I love my AMD and I loved the price
more. I have an ASUS MB w/ a meg of L2 cache + the 320 L1 cache in the
chip, so it just smokes..way better then the PII I had... ;)

laters,

No, don't recompile your kernel.

The 'SuSE kernel' loads everything when it is needed, all ppp-stuff is
loaded as modules.
Don't worry, just use wvdial or kppp to setup a connection.

I'm installing SuSE 6.1 on a professor's machine at my university and
have hit a problem.  The pc is a P133 with an EtherExpressPro/10 pnp
ethernet card.  During installation I selected "EtherExpressPro" and
configured all the networking options.  On reboot, the machine hung when
it tried to initialize the card.  A hard-reboot was required.  I still
could not start the system; it hung at the same spot every time.

I went ahead and re-installed without the network, and the rest of the
distribution is working fine.

I checked the SuSE hardware DB, and it states that the card is "probably
supported".  I also checked recent mailing list postings, but didn't
find anything helpful.

Can anyone offer suggestions on getting this card to work?

Thanks,
Alan Riggins

Does anyone know of a util that will monitor/log all tcp traffic and make

Sean,
try snplog (simple network protocol logger)

http://www.franken.de/users/gauss/snplog/

It checks udp, tcp and icmp and logs to /var/log/messages
by default. It is only a 15k dl.

Hi,

  I'm sending this again as no-one has responded to me, I hope someone
  can help. :-(

-------

  Well, I finally got myself another network card today for the new
  machine. However, I can't seem to get it to see the rest of the
  network or the gateway. :(

  This is how the network is currently set up:

  [3 machines]--------[SuSE box]---[modem]----**Internet**
                 |
               (hub)

  I tried to ping several machines on the network (with their ips') but
  get 100% packet loss, and no lights flash on the hub.

  Here is the 'route' output for scratchy (the non-working machine):

  Kernel IP routing table
  Destination       Gateway  Genmask          Flags    Metric   Ref   Use   I=

  Here is the output of Itchy (the gateway machine with the modem - if
  this is relevant)

  All the other machines on the network (which are Windows98) work
  fine connecting to Itchy. If anyone has any suggestions, please do
  let me know with some gentle (newbie-certified(tm)) instructions. :-)

  If you need any more information, please do let me know what you
  need and I will try to find out for you.

Hello SuSE folks!

I stuck with the problem how to delete files on rewriteble CD.
I used xcdroast for this CD recording.
I couldn't find an option which allows to delete recorded files on rewriteble=
 CD.
Could somebody give me a hand how to solve this problem.

Thanks in advance.

Yeah, I love AMD, too. I have an Aopen MB with 1 meg of cache as well, it

Depends on what browser you are using.  I am using Netscape 4.51 and
when I click the paperclip icon gives me to options: "auto detect" and
"binary".  Select binary.

  I'm not trying to be harsh, but if you RTFM, the Banshee and V3 are based
on the same 2D chips.  On the other hand, even selecting the Banshee driver
didn't do me any good.  The SaX included in my copy of 6.1 reported that the
chipset was still not supported.  

  You need to run something like xf86config (command-line tool) and give it
some bogus settings.  This will make most of the necessary links for you.
Install the xbanshee RPM from your disks, and `ln -s
/usr/X11/bin/XFCom_Banshee /var/X11/bin/X'.  If you are feeling adventurous,
hack the XF86Config file by hand, or I could send you mine. :)

  Have fun!

I'm getting really frustrated here.  The SuSE 6.1 install via NFS worked
great.  But now I can't get my X server working.

I've used sax and XF86Setup and after going through the procedures umpteen
times trying different servers, cards, etc, I keep getting the same
response when I type "startx", namely:

Fatal Server error
No valid modes found.

I have been everywhere on the web I can think of: google, LDP, personal
sites, manufacturer's sites, etc. to no avail.  I've been over the
XF86Config file with a fine-toothed comb and I can't figure out why it
can't find any valid modes!  I've searched on the error message, but there
doesn't seem to be an answer that applies to me (case-sensitivity, Trident
cards, etc.).

The card information (both from the web and SuperProbe) is a WD 90C24 with
512K SVGA.  The monitor is an LCD screen that will support VGA (I don't
know what color depth it will work at, but that Other Operating System that
came on the HD looked damn colorful!)

Now what?

You know how to fix this problem?  Seems if any of the settings for the
modes (like horiz. synch, etc.) are bad, X will delete them.  If you only
have one and it gets deleted, you get the error I got!

So, what to do is type

        X -probeonly 2>x.out

and look through x.out finding out where the errors are.  Then fix and
re-run it!

Now, if I can only figure out what the "2>" means in the command above. :-)

first the cd has to be mounted on the remote machine on /var/admin/mnt
when the install asks for a username pick a non root user and issue the
username & password
when install asks where is the mount point type /var/admin/mnt
try that and see what happens

Hi Alan!
    Im sure you may have tried these but how about installing the card after
the installion?
tried moving the card to another slot
probably best and easiest is to buy a new card at most the cost for a combo
isa is $40  basic rj45 for $20 is it worth the aggravation?
I just went thru hell setting up a network for a small business.... one card
had me going in circles... swapped and it worked in another machine! but not
in the problem one Solved it buy buying another card and was done with it.
Sorry I couldnt be more help ust my 2cts

bianiaries are precompiled "programs" at first glance a precompiled
program looks more attractive (easier) but the reality is compiling it
yourself  will give you a nicer install. Once you do it a few times ,
you get used to the way of the Makefile, INSTALL and READMEs... youll
see the difference.When you install a bianary... its like where's my .rc
file?
wheres the exe?? wheres this whers that....etc. Its excellent experience
in the world of linux to compile from source. A good tip is to cd ito
the dir where the source is with a few terminals open the INSTALL in one
a  README in another and give the commands in another... you'll be a pro
in no time - compiling is where you really can appreciate parts of the
system. Its just a cool thing to do! Give it a try

Hi Jon,

Perhaps my message wasn't clear.  MY Voodoo3 card don't have
any problem with SuSE, I installed xbanshee.rpm then use sax to
choice the Banshee card, everything just worked perfectly fine.

What my problem is, recently I updated XF86 to 3.3.4 [was
3.3.3.1 before], when running XF86config I saw *Voodoo3*
was present in the driver list, but when I ran the SuSE 6.1 sax I
didn't see that, so I'm wondering if SuSE has any updated sax which
will include new graphic cards selections.

By the way, even with XF863.3.3.1 and SuSE 6.1 sax, I never
done any hacking to the XF86Config file.

Regards,
Philip

At work someone ordered a cyrix 233 mII for use in my work computer. He
said something about it being like a p2. When I got it I felt let down. It
looked more like a pentium then a p2. Then I plugged it in. It could run
mathcad docs over twice as quickly as the pentium mmx that I was running
(and they both were at the same clock speed.) I liked it so much I got
cyrix chips to use at home. The MII can't push flops as fast as a k6 or a
celery but boy does it fly when it is doing integer calculations! In
fact I believe it can do integer calculations faster than any chip out
there (for the same clock speed.) And when you compile support for the
686 into the kernel, the speed really picks up! To bad cyrix is not doing
so well lately. Unless cyrix can pull things out (they were just bought
out by another company,) my next chip is going to be a k7 -- and I am not
getting an intel chip ever again either! What is the main difference
between a Pent pro, p2, p3 and p2-p3 celeron? Answer: several hundred
dollars! I notice cyrix chips are at bargin basement prices right now. If
you need a chip I suggest giving one a try!

Later,

Matt.

Yeah, I'm getting an MII for a box I'm building.  I bought the MB for $5!
Of course I bought the 1megL2 cache MB for my k6-II at the same yard sale
for $10. hehehe.
I *do* have to find two Pentium Pros (anybody on the list know where I can
them?) Because I bought a dual Ppro motherboard with on board SCSI and
onboard EIDE/UDMA33. it's pretty sweet.
Speaking of which: How does SuSE run with dual-processors?  As good as
other Linuxes?

If I download a program in .rpm format, how do I install it?  When I
tried to install it with YaST, I got an error that /usr/lib/rpm/rpmrc
does not exist; it in fact does not exist (the /usr/lib/rpm directory
doesn't exist).  I do have a copy of the rpm binary in
/home/eckles/.kde/share/bin/, but when I try to run it I get the same
error.

Thanks,

I'm running SuSE 6.0 Kernel 2.2.7 on a pentium III 500mhz with 128 megs
RAM. I have a 128 meg swap file. 

My question is that sometimes even with even only one terminal running,
and no intensive processes running, my hard drive will occasionally
thrash for a good three minutes at what appears to be random intervals.
If I [ps a] it shows me nothing out of the ordinary.(one bash, one ps a,
and one mingetty.)

any ideas? is this normal?

Hi All,

Is there anyway to bind a command to an F-key? For example, I use the
command "fetchpop -r -p -a" to get my email. It would be nice just to be
able to hit "F-x" to run this commmand. At the command line by the way,
not in X-windows. 

TIA!

The forcast is that there will be a price premium for the k7. So it will
cost a lot more , and be near the the cost for the "equivalent" intelchip.
Plans are that the K6 III will then me karked down to the bargin basmenbt
bin replacing the K6-II.

I have two K6-II based systems , and plan on staying with amd.  they even
have Mobile versions of the k6-II.
So they are realy making in roads. If only they can get ther production
woes fixed and start making some money , aS to ensure a viable option ti
the intel/mickysoft bear.

 I notice cyrix chips are at bargin basement prices right now. If

Hi kepe!

I grabbed it but it seems similiar to other TCP loggers, what I need is a
daemon that will log my flow and give me totals per day week etc in KB or
MB.

I cannot see a way to do this.

I have VMware installed and run Win98 inside that for my other half's benefit.
The VMware session is configured only to allow the guest OS to have IP access
to the host system (SuSE Linux) and no further.   In order to allow IE4 to br=
owse
the internet I run squid (port 8080) on Linux and point IE4's proxy server se=
ttings
at that.

So,  if you just have one standalone system connected to the internet via your
xDSL, then there's no real reason to run Squid.  But if you're system is also
connected to an internal (private) network and you want systems on that netwo=
rk
to  be able to browse the web, then you will need to run squid to give them
access.

        Do a ps aux and I bet you see a find being run by nobody. It's likely
dealing with your logs.

I believe that linuxconf is the future direction SuSE are taking with their
system management, etc al.    I don't know what version, it will appear
in.

Don't you have to setup your linux host as a firewall?   I've not gotten
round to trying much of this myself yet, but my understanding was that
you needed:

1) squid, to give your WinPC's a www proxy.
2) /etc/mail/relay-domains to allow sendmail to relay mail
3) ipchains in your kernel (?)
3) socks (sp?)  for passing other protocols like ftp, telnet, etc.

(I've a suspicion you might not need socks if you have ipchains .. not
sure on that though.  Someone more experienced will be able to tell
you).

There must be a HOWTO on setting all this up I guess.  I've not needed
to do it myself yet (though I will in the near future) so I'm just repeating
things I've noticed in other posts from time to time.

Hope that gives you a nudge in the right direction.

I own an EtherExpressPro 100 and I am not 100% sure but when I first got
it I did some research on the card.  There was a version "a" and "b" of
this card, in both 10 and 10/100 types.  I am pretty sure that there was
some problems with one of them.  It even went as far as to tell which
chip number on the card where the ones that would work and would not. 
My chip type is an S82557.  It is the one that works.  I am thinking
that the S82556(guessing ??) is the one that had some issues...
This at least should give you a starting point to do your own research. 
Good luck!

Folks,

(If you get this, it'll be because I've worked round, in an evil
way, a very nasty problem with SuSE's ezmlm list server. I've taken
it up with suse-linux-e-owner, but have heard nothing yet ... )

I've been musing a bit about X, users, Linux and KDE. The underlying
situation which prompted it is the fact that, unlike a traditional
UNIX user with, say, an X terminal to a server where you log on as
yourself etc, Linux users are often both user and sysadmin for their
own Linux box.

For instance, I'm "root" for sysadmin; "ted" for work, "efh" for mail.

However, I like to start X as root (for various reasons). So root
owns the X display. Other users can make their own xterms as themselves
very easily, so when working within a user-xterm one does not encounter
the dangers of being root.

This however has a few consequences. One is that anything done by clicking
on the "background" (i.e. the X root window) is done as user "root".
However, this is not a major issue.

What is causing me a bit of thought just now is the use of the KDE
desktop environment. If you want to get the best out of this, you will
set up task-bar icons for various programs to which you can drag-and-drop
file/directory icons from the file-manager, etc.

However, in the circumstances described, the programs which are started up
by the task-bar icons are run owned by root. This is _not_ convenient!
One would like the program to be run owned by the user who owns the
file/directory it is working on.

In fact, there's a similar problem if X had been started by an ordinary
user: this user would be the owner of the program, and would not be able
to access anything outside their own permission-space. At least root has
that freedom!

So what I'm wondering, is whether (perhaps as a future development
in X and/or KDE) is would be possible to -- to coin a phrase --
"chown" the mouse, so to speak.

So what I'm wondering, is whether (perhaps as a future development
in X and/or KDE) is would be possible to -- to coin a phrase --
"chown" the mouse, so to speak.

As one notional implementation of the idea, you could have a drop-down
menu of available users, click on a user, and then this would "su"
the mouse/X display/KDE desktop/whatever. Then when you dragged a file
(to which as the new user you would have access) onto a task-bar icon,
that program would run suid the new user. This would solve the problems
which arise when trying to use KDE as it should be used.

Now I know that people are going to spit at me for suggesting something
which is about as secure as a bank which has been left unlocked at
night. And I agree that it would be no good in the standard public-LAN
environment.

But -- and this is the special character of Linux -- a lot of Linux usage
is by people who have a few boxes on a "domestic" LAN, or even only one
box, where there's no problem at all with security in the sense of
taking precautions against people you don't know or trust. Such people
are not around, and taking precautions against them makes no sense. The
only thing you need to watch is carelessness. And when you're running
stuff as "root" which you'd rather not run as "root", carelessness
is definitely something to watch.

In short, a lot of Linux users are having their scope curtailed by
irrelevant security issues. This question would never have arisen
in the "tradtional" UNIX environment, where security is a necessary
headache; and it remains the same headache where Linux is used
in the same environments as a UNIX substitute.

But for Linux users in a safe environment, I think we need the
capability to greatly relax the security restrictions. In the console
(terminal) environment, it's easy to log in on different VCs as different
users. These can then start their own Xterms in root's X display, and
for work in an Xterm there's then no problem. This is what I've been doing
for years (about 7 to be precise).

However, as described above, you hit a clash when your interaction with
the system is not by command-lines typed into an Xterm but by mouse
actions on an X display or Desktop Environment like KDE, especially when
it's drag-n-drop.

So, there it is. A few thoughts.

Comments? Suggestions?

Thanks,
Ted.

Does anyone out there know if you can change the sensitivity of an older
UPS?
I have an older APC Back-UPS 520 (maybe 4 or 5 years old) and it is working,
but
it isn't swiching fast enough so my system crashes whenever the power goes
out.
Just curious if I can make it pick up faster or if I have to get a new one?

Hi Lee,

This looks a bit weird to me, but since you got no answer at all:

In the first place, I thought a firewall issue on your gateway, bu then

I suspect this to be 192.168.1.0, the network address like it=C5=BDs with the
other machine.

This must be hidden somewhere in yast=C5=BDs network setup for the card,
presumeably the network address.

He's right! I d/loaded whatfor-0.3.01.tar.gz, followed the
instructions, and watched the messages. I had to make a sub-
directory it said was missing, & when it ran it again it installed
beautifully. Sense of achievement!

I must say that whatfor is a really fine piece of work for a newbie
to find out a bit about what all these 100s of files in the system,
with names that don't mean a thing, are there for. It's already
given me a clue about fixing another problem I have.

Now for something a little more ambitious....

There is an option under cdrecord that lets you blank a CD-RW. I bet
there is such an option under xcdroast as well. Anyway, I don't think you
can delete one file at a time -- you pretty much have to blank the whole
thing (or at least most of it.) Then again, I could be wrong.

Later,

It's probably different in linux (i don't know, my burner's in the shop)
but with the various proggies I used in windoze, to delete files I just
imported the table of contents, removed the file I didn't want from the
TOC and reburnt it.  When i did this in windoze, it found the things that
were already there and just removed the things I wanted deleted.
Like I said, I haven't even played with any burning software for linux
yet, but if this helps, so much the better

If you use the bash as your shell, you can add

"\e[11~":	"fetchpop -r -p -a\n"

to your ~/.inputrc (this binds fetchpop... to F1). To find out
which key code a key produces, press Ctrl-V and then the key at
the bash prompt. If you try this with F1 you should get
"^[[11~". Replace the "^[" with "\e".

Is xusermgr avaible for SuSE Linux? I saw mention of it in the book
called "A Practical Guide to Linux" by Mark Sobell. A book I would
reconmend to any newbie or experience user of Linux.

(second attempt, never seen the first)
Hi kepe!

I grabbed it but it seems similiar to other TCP loggers, what I need is a
daemon that will log my flow and give me totals per day week etc in KB or
MB.

I cannot see a way to do this.

How does anyone know how to initiate Gnome on SuSE Linux 6.1? I tried
startx gnome, but that didn't work...do I need to change some settings
in some system file? I would like the ability to run both KDE and Gnome
if possible

As you have already stated, this is a security issue. If they build this in
for general users, users concerned about security would now have to deal
with this security hole. Even if they made it some kind of switch, some
hacker would figure out how to turn it on.

Security issues are always relevant. They protect you from yourself. You
have been using Unix for 7 years so I wont go into detail on why you
shouldn't use root on a daily basis... but if your not root you can't
destroy your system by accidentally doing a 'rm -rf /'. Users that are
"curtailed" by this behavior would have been turned away by another linux
caveat sooner or later. To use linux is to understand that you CAN do
anything you want, but it isn't as easy as just clicking a mouse to do it.

If you insist on using root as your daily user, then you can do commands in
X as other users. Just make an icon that does 'su <user> -c "<command>"'.
Better yet, use a non-root user and use sudo or something similar to execute
the commands you need root for.

People need to think about security more often. The bad security habits you
create at home will carry over into your work life.

That's my $.02

Hi,

this is what i would do:
Assuming that kernel 2.2.x is compiled with IP masquerading support:
On the suse:
# ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1 up
# /sbin/depmod -a
# /sbin/modprobe ip_masq_ftp
# /sbin/modprobe ip_masq_raudio
# /sbin/modprobe ip_masq_irc
# /sbin/modprobe ip_masq_quake
# echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
# ipchains -P forward DENY
# ipchains -A forward -s 192.168.1.0/24 -j MASQ

On the other 3 machines:
change the IP addresses to show 192.168.1.2, 192.168.1.3, 192.168.1.4
with the netmask of 255.255.255.0
try pinging www.netscape.com...
I did this yesterday -- took less then 15 min.
I did not use a modem though: i alaised two ip's on the eth0 and used the
same cable for outside and private networks--> amazingly still works

an entry in your routing table could be messing everything up:
192.168.1.1 * 255.255.255.0 ...  <--- this route is wrong=20
here is my routing table as an example:
alexm(a)hr-60:~ > netstat -rn
Kernel IP routing table
Destination   Gateway       Genmask       Flags MSS Window   irtt  Iface
208.24.140.0  0.0.0.0      255.255.255.128 U      0    0       0   eth0
192.168.1.0   0.0.0.0      255.255.255.0   U      0    0       0   eth0
127.0.0.0     0.0.0.0      255.0.0.0       U      0    0       0   lo
0.0.0.0       208.24.140.1 0.0.0.0         UG     0    0       0   eth0

This is an example of working setup with ethernet.
first line -- a route to my ISP's subnet (real IP)
second line -- a route to my private network
third line -- self explanatory
fourth line -- my default gateway.
make sure yours looks similar (except the interface names).
(Un)fortunately, i have not dealt much with modems for years now...
Also, when posting network related questions use "-n" option with your
commands that way we can help you better (machine names do not tell much
about your network ;-) )
sorry for a long post.

good luck,

-alexm

I think you may not have seen my central point. (By the way, the
"7 years" is using X on Linux; I've been using Unix for more like 20).

In the "home" environment, there is no security issue whatever involving
malicious hackers. The only risk is carelessness. Although I prefer to
start X as root, and have other users in their own Xterms in the X
display, I could live with not starting X as root, so that's not an issue
either.

The real point is that, _whoever_ owns the X display, there are several
users on it. As well as root, there's "ted", "efh" and "wabi" (the user
that owns the one&only WABI installation), and possibly others (e.g.
"yard", "informix") ; and that's just me (physically speaking). Other
human beings may also be on the same display as different users.

So long as all the work is done by users typing commands into Xterms,
each into their own, this arrangement works well.

But what I was bringing into the discussion was the fact that, with
a drag&drop environemt like KDE, only ONE user -- whoever started X --
owns the KDE processes which can be started by mouse actions. The other
users are excluded from using KDE to the full as themselves: they can
only do it as the user who started X, and this is what I do not like,
and why I was groping for ideas as to how any user, when several are
"on screen", can temporarily claim ownership of KDE in order to do a job
using the KDE facilities (and not just by typing into an Xterm).

I hope that's clear now, and my apologies if I failed to make it clear
last time!

Best wishes,
Ted.

        Assuming you are using the graphical login screen you can add gnome to
the list of choices. This way everytime you login  you can choose. Login
to root and edit the login manager from KDE control centre. I think
that's it. I'm not running root right now. All you need to do is add
gnome to the list.

running SuSE6.1.

Hi!

Awhile back I had my contract terminated when my boss' new boss did a
reorganization of the QA-hardware department and came to the remarkable
conclusion that he needed only people who had management potential and not
grunts.  (As the only grunt in the department, I did all the work that
nobody else wanted to do with a remarkable level of excellance and without
compliant... BUT I'm no butt kisser.) Now, my boss felt really bad about
letting me go since he been promising for a better part of the year to hire
me permament but haven't been able to, and his boss rejected his request to
give me three-weeks of additional pay.  A couple of days later I got a
package in the mail from my old boss with a Cyrix M2-300 and an Asus SP97-V
motherboard (a freebie that my boss gets from his Cyrix contacts) as
compensation for my abrupt termination.

I'm wondering if this CPU/motherboard combination would make for a good
general-purpose workstation since it is a freebie?  I will be installing
SuSE 6.2 when it comes out in a couple of weeks.  I could get a new box
built using either a K6-2/3 or Celeron CPU, but I would have to wait several
months before I can have that system up and running.  Or, should I simply
hand this combo off to my retired parents as an Windows Internet box?

Thanks!

Christopher Reimer

        I've got one of these at home which was an upgrade from a 133MHz 
machine.  Seems to be alright with Linux.  I was thinking about 
putting Red Hat or Open Linux into it for a bit of an experiment.  Of 
course, you have to think that in a few months we might well be using 
700-800MHz machines as everyday boxen but then again 300MHz is good 
for most things ?  I can't see any hamsters inside my machine turning 
the hard drive round :-)  (unlike some ISPs)

Thanks

Hello Alex, SuSE,

 Thank you for the in-depth response. Unfortunately I tried (what I
 could) of this, without success. I'm using 6.0 with the 2.0.36
 kernel.

 Really, what I need is someone with virtually the same setup as me,
 i.e. a linux machine with ipfwadm set-up to allow other machines to
 access the Internet, and 2+ other Linux machines on the same network
 which use the first linux machine as a gateway.

 If someone has this setup, could they please send me their route.conf
 file?  As per your suggestion for adding -n to the 'route' command,
 here is the output:

 Itchy (the gateway/firewall machine):

root(a)itchy:/home/lee > route -n

and from Scratchy (the machine that doesn't seem to connect to the
network)

cratchy:~ # route -n

 As I say, if anyone has a working setup similar to this, please
 please email me your /etc/route.conf

   Best wishes,

   Lee

Excellent.  I am sorry to have wasted the bandwidth. :)

Hmmm...I'd bet that SuSE 6.2 and it's version of SaX will at least have the
cards listed.  Out of curiosity, is your 6.1 based on kernel 2.2.5 or 2.2.7?
Mine is 2.2.5, and I don't even recall the Banshee being selectable under
SaX...

Bravo.  I had to download a basic one from Creative Labs to make my
Banshee's config file.  I've never been any good with that sort of thing.

Hello SusE,

  All problems have been sorted! Spent an hour in the card diagnostic
  utility, to find the problem wasn't with SuSE at all, but the card
  setup.

   Thanks to all those that took the time to reply!

 Best Wishes,

  Lee.

Hi Jim:
        A hardware method that I use is an auxilliary keyboard.  It's made be
Mextel and has 20 keys which are FULLY programmable as macros.  Plugs in
between computer and regular keyboard.  It's saved me a LOT of time in
programs in which I have written a lot of macros.
        Don't know where you would get it as I've had mine for almost ten yea=
rs now.

Good Luck,
Tom

I am trying to compile a kernel (2.2.7 from SuSe 6.1) to provide the 
scssi emulation for ide r/w cdroms.  I don't think I selected anything 
odd, and have new, relatively standard install of SuSE 6.1, but I get 
the following error from the final link phase of the compilation:

init/main.o(.data.init+0x1d4): undefined reference to `md_setup'
drivers/block/block.a(genhd.o): In function `device_setup':
genhd.o(.text.init+0x10a): undefined reference to `md_setup_drive'
make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1   

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
