[SuSE Linux] Bttv driver...

Hello, I am trying to get any bttv driver based porgram to run with my Avet/TV-Phone card, but I don't seem to be able to. Can anyone help me? I install the bttv and bttvgrabber packages, and when trying to start it it complains about the absence of the bttv module... I load it manually, and the programs start, but it does not seem to get any signal from the card. Even more, I downloaded the kwintv program sources, and when trying to compile it, ti tells me taht teh module is not availble, even when giving it its path explicity...

Re: [SuSE Linux] ISC DHCPD
by Frans.Legdeur＠xylan.com 07 Dec '98

07 Dec '98

Glenn, I did set this up for lab purpose, and wondered about it's behavior regarding multiple interfaces. I do have two ethernet nic's and one tokenring nic in this system, but it seem to listen on all interfaces, allthough it's only configured for one. Also the help files do explain that it can only run with one interface, I was able by changing it's startup script, to start this deamon twice to cover two interfaces. That it listens to all interfaces is probably due to some routing functionality ... I did set the server in a class-C network segment, and all seem to work right. Actualy I didn't change the the settings of the nic's at all. Allthough for BootP, you need to have subnets declared, like for DHCP, so it can recover the subnetmask for these networks.

[SuSE Linux] Problems using Netscape to read man pages
by JPShebell＠aol.com 07 Dec '98

07 Dec '98

Mu SuSE 5.3 system is not networked at all, but I do use Netscape with the SuSE help system. When I try to read man pages I get an error that says, in effect, "localhost6711" is busy. I found a note to the effect that one should disable proxies (I didn't think I had them enabled) by changing "options" - "network preferences" - "proxies" - ..... But I can find no "option" button in the Netscape window. This is driving me nuts. I've tried the docs, the Netscape help, etc. Can anyone point me in the right direction.

[SuSE Linux] Apps for SuSE 6.0!
by martin_moeller＠technologist.com 07 Dec '98

07 Dec '98

Hey there. My wishlist for SuSE 6.0 at the moment: * TrueType support in X-Server (or easy integration) * Easy 'migration' of Windows fonts so they are available in X * Type1 and TrueType utilities for conversion, afm-generating, etc. (I have put some of these in the Incoming dir a while ago) * Some way of getting StarOffice to actually use either TrueType fonts or converted fonts and not just fall back to Times * The AWE utility set, and an integrated way to use them. (<A HREF="http://bahamut.mm.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp/~iwai/midi.html"><A HREF="http://bahamut.mm.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp/~iwai/midi.html</A">http://bahamut.mm.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp/~iwai/midi.html</A</A>>) * The eMusic MP3/MOD/etc. player in actually compilable form (I have grave difficulties doing so -- I guess I would need GNOME 0.30 or later to do it) * mpg123 and similar command-line players. * If possible, it would be neat with Wine-wrappers that could call windows-programs with the right parameters set for 'smooth' operation. This may be premature, though.... * Webmin * I guess it's already in there, but: Easy Masquerading setups * As a extension of the above: The c-mserver and the various clients to pick and choose from. * If you intend to stick with KDE 1.0 (and it *is* possible that KDE 1.1 won't be out, of course), could you include a late CVS-version that will also compile for those of us who would like some of the extras they include? The point here being 'compilable' ;) * The TrueType/Type1/(StarOffice) and Masquerade situation mentioned/explained in the manual. * ICQ-clones such as GTKIcq and Licq (and that infamous 'play' program Licq refers to, which I haven't yet been able to find) * A Mozilla snapshot? Qt and GTK versions? * As with KDE, a recent GNOME CVS-version that compiles in addition to a stable one? * The FoX libraries and samples * The xkb_dk-1.0.tar.gz package available at ftp.sslug.dk (and encouragement for others to do something similar for inclusion) - put into a National/Native/Language group. I think that's about it for now.... -- Martin Moeller. - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

[SuSE Linux] video card problem
by mdb＠n-jcenter.com 06 Dec '98

06 Dec '98

i'm trying to run x on my 300 mhz gateway g-6 it has a nvidia 4meg video card installed in an AGP slot(at least i assume it's agp...it's not a pci, and not the big isa's....) i've managed to get x running...sort of. it only runs in 320x200, virtual 320x204. the problem seems to be that a pci scan doesn't pick up my video card...which doesn't surprise me, but how can i get this to work? i've got an older Rage II +DVD card, which i experimented with this afternoon. i can get x running well under it, but i don't have the drivers to run it under win95...if all else fails, i'll dig them up somewhere. anyway, while i was experimenting, i used sax to setup x for use with the nvidia card, but once i pulled the rage card, and tried to go back to using the nvidia card, x still won't run right. i tinkered with the XF86Config file, setting the default color depth and such, but to no avail. under 16, 24, and 32, it won't run at all, but using 8 it goes back to running in the 320x200 mode i mentioned earlier. does anyone know if AGP cards will run x? has anyone had any luck running x on a gateway with the included video card? perhaps i've missed a howto on agp cards, or something.... thanks, -derek - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>

Re: [SuSE Linux] WS_FTP for Linux?

I seem to remember that Midnight Commander (mc) should be able to do ftp. (perhaps it needs some kind of patch for it) If you prefer something more GUIish two kfm (KDE file manager) windows should do the trick. It allows simple DnD between your home dir in one window and the ftp dir in another.

[SuSE Linux] Help w/ Linux Boot Menu under Win95
by camst65+＠pitt.edu 05 Dec '98

05 Dec '98

Well, my one major complaint against SuSE is the lack of good documentation. I know that RedHat kicks the crap out of SuSE with regard to this, and that SuSE better get its butt in gear if it wants to compete (in the US) with distributions supported by the likes of Netscape and Intel. I have followed exactly the instructions for a boot menu under windoze95 on p. 39 of the SuSE 5.3 manual. It doesn't work!!! The only way that I can get anything to work is to just call "loadlin hda6" from my autoexec.bat, and to forget about anything regarding linux in my config.sys. Can someone who has successfully gotten a boot menu running under win95 PLEASE send me a copy of their autoexec.bat, config.sys, and the files in the loadlin directory of the root dos/win drive. ( I have to keep microslop windows around for the girlfriend) I am giving SuSE every chance, but when something like this happens it is hard. And, last question, how is it that one really sets up this loadlin stuff in the first place? You can run "setup" on the CD, but this of course copies the image of a generic kernel to the newly created loadlin directory, rather than the kernel that one has customized.

[SuSE Linux] Converting BackOffice Server to Linux?

Here's the shit in a nutshell. Client has NT 4.0 SP3 running with Back Office 4.0, and the server runs like crap. The server is mainly used for/as a print server and sharing files for your typical Win apps, such as Peach Tree, Office 97, global share directories, (for user data) etc. All of the client systems are running Win95, plus 1 NT workstation. I realize Samba is necessary, but any other clues? The server should just do it's job and the clients could care less as long as everything hum's along. The printer is a HP 4 plus if that matters..., server is a P200 with 128MB ram.

[SuSE Linux] How do I get TWO ethernet cards working on the same computer?
by wes＠stripe.colorado.edu 05 Dec '98

05 Dec '98

I'm trying to set up a SuSE 5.3 linux box with two ethernet cards - one a 3com pci card (runs on the 3c59 modules), and the other a 3com isa 3c509B (supposedly runs on the 3c509 module). The pci card works fine on eth0 with the 3c590 module, and that card connects my compter to the net. I want to connect the 3c509 card to another the card on another computer and then use masquerading to give the second computer access to the internet. Unfortunately, I can't get the 3c509 module to recognize the isa card on eth1. When I do a modprobe 3c509, or an insmod 3c509, all I get is this message: 3c509.o: init_module: Device or resource busy I've tried setting irq=10. That doesn't help. What else should I be trying? How do I find out what "device or resource" might be "busy?" I have disabled PnP on the card (via a dos program provided by 3com), and I know that the card works fine in the isa slot of another computer. So the card itself is unlikely to be the problem? So what else do I need to do? Is there some obscure incompatibility between my two cards? Are they fighting for the same base address, or what? Thanks.

[SuSE Linux] YaST with problems...
by luca＠thehub.co.uk 04 Dec '98

04 Dec '98

Hi, Yesterday I was deleteing few users from the YaSt 'user administrator' interface, these where users which I didn't need anymore on my system and some of them came as default during the installation. While removing some of the users I got a warning asking if I wanted to delete the directories as well, which I did, everything went fine until when I deleted the game user... at this point YaST crashed and now I cannot use it anymore...when I try to run it an error comes up saying: '/bin/sh: /tmp/s515_0_S: No such file or directory program aborted! ERROR: Open Output File, DETAIL: 0 FILE: SystemCmd.cc LINE: 487' ... any idea how to solve the problem? My other question is: I manage to connect to my ISP via modem but when using Netscape the pages are loaded very slowly... How can I check if my modem is running at full speed ? I use a 56K. -- Luca Colombi System Administrator The Hub Communications Co. Ltd.

[SuSE Linux] Sysadmin Question
by rbaguer＠freenet.columbus.oh.us 04 Dec '98

I am wondering what kind of precautions can be taken against runaway system processes... specifically, as in user's cgi scripts. It doesn't seem fair to just kill the process, causing potential damage to a database or something. On the other hand, the system load cannot run away. What is a good recommended system load, or is there one? (is it machine specific?) Is there a way to assign lower priority to certain processes, causing *them* to run slower rather than the whole machine?

I have managed to install it onto a Toshiba Libretto 50CT 75Mhz 16mb It's brought life back to an almost depreciated machine(under win95)! I was wondering if anyone has had any encounters with Linux and mobile phones... i.e. I would like to connect me Libretto to my Nokia phone which has infra-red comms capabilities... I have had this working under win95 but cannot find any drivers/apps which allow me to do such a thing... any help/tips/Url's would be most appreciated... The software that allows me to use the comms also has a serial cable which connects to the phone. I have tried under kppp and minicom.... but to no prevail. also are there any Power management apps ...at present I'm having to boot each time I take it out of standby... ( this leads to another problem whereby the machine hangs in KDE, if I an in command prompt mode I cannot start any WM's I get a list of Stack/buffer addresses etc.) - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>

[SuSE Linux] KDM graphic login problem. Suse 5.2
by suse_list＠hotmail.com 04 Dec '98

04 Dec '98

Hi all, I am a relatively new user of linux. I got Suse5.2 a few months back and got my system set up and running well. I haven't had time to use it for the last few months though, so have forgotten a lot of what I learned. I am having problems with the graphic login. I have had it running previously, but anaged to screw it up somehow a few months back and don't know how to fix it. (Well I could fix it with a re-install but I don't want to do that). When I boot up linux, it goes through all the usual stuff until it tries to go into the graphical login (I'm using kdm). It tries to start up the graphic login then flashes back to the usual text login prompt. Then it again tries to go to the graphic login and then flashes back to the text login prompt again. It just goes on continuing to do this until I re-boot. Then when it starts up again the same thing happens. I can fix it by turning off the graphical login and just using the text one, and starting x manually but this is a pain in the ***. I vaguely remember that this may have something to do with shadow passwords but I'm not entirely sure. Nor can I remember where to look to change the shadow passwords if this is the case. Can anyone help me?

[SuSE Linux] An old printer

Hi all, I have this old printer IBM Proprinter III (i don't know the english word for a printer which is not inkjet nor laserjet nor bubblejet...) and I would like to use it to print the source of my programs.

[SuSE Linux] Unix trounces Windows NT in testing
by fmiller＠lightlink.com 04 Dec '98

The following could have just as easily been Linux than UNIX, which by the way we understand WILL be included next year! Fred ___________________________ Unix trounces Windows NT in testing By Stephen Shankland December 1, 1998, 9:15 p.m. PT <A HREF="http://www.news.com/News/Item/0%2C4%2C29416%2C00.html?sas.mail"><A HREF="http://www.news.com/News/Item/0%2C4%2C29416%2C00.html?sas.mail</A">http://www.news.com/News/Item/0%2C4%2C29416%2C00.html?sas.mail</A</A>> Windows takes a shellacking when stacked up against Unix, according to newly released study. Microsoft's Windows NT finished dead last overall in a comparison with five different versions of the Unix operating system, concluded a market research firm that assessed the latest versions of these operating systems. IBM's AIX version of Unix topped the rankings, followed by Compaq's Digital Unix, Sun Microsystems' Solaris, and Silicon Graphics' Irix. Each of these four operating systems received a "good" rating from D.H. Brown Associates. Hewlett-Packard's HP-UX earned an "OK" rating. But "Even the Enterprise Edition of Windows NT Server 4.0 trails Unix in every area except for PC client support," D.H. Brown said in a statement. The company ranks the major Unix variants and NT each year using a scorecard that judges six factors. Windows NT ranked last in every area except one. "NT still falls short of Unix for advanced Internet protocols and extensions. NT also lags in features for scalability, reliability, availability, serviceability, and system management," the study said. Windows NT earned second place in support for PC clients, losing out to Compaq's Digital Unix. The latter also took top marks in its support for its support of services across a large corporation. IBM's AIX ranked first for system management and support for intranets and the Internet. Big Blue has taken "the most active role of the major operating system vendors" in providing software for electronic commerce, D.H. Brown said. However, AIX tied for fourth place in its score for reliability, availability, and serviceability. Solaris 7's full 64-bit capabilities launched it from last place among Unix systems last year to third place this year, according to D.H. Brown. Solaris won out in scalability, reliability, availability, and serviceability, but was second-to-last in its support for PC clients. Irix too improved overall, with a strong rating for reliability, availability, and serviceability, the study said. HP-UX, however, slipped backwards, in part because of HP's failure to ship promised Java-based system management tools, which are key for managing a computer remotely. D.H. Brown noted that the study doesn't reflect market share or customer satisfaction. "The industry has frequently shown that the best technology does not always win in the marketplace," the study admitted. Companies still can highlight their system's advantages, D.H. Brown said. "The results show that in a brutally competitive industry that relies ever more on commodity technology, it is still possible to differentiate with leading-edge operating system features." -- "Slicker 'n Willie Lube".......and that's doin some! - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>

[SuSE Linux] SuSE Firewall and Masq
by stevep＠bash.linux-shell.net 04 Dec '98

04 Dec '98

People, I'm getting a little impatient in getting the delivered implementation of Yast/diald/ipmasq/firewall to work. I had a homebrew ip masq working fine. Then I enabled Yast's diald, but it did not work right. Then I read that I should get SuSE Firewall and Ip masq working together. One thing; when I installed the firewall and ipmasq out of 'n', it did not set up the ipmasq and fw rc.config variables. Is this you all's experience? Could someone who has these things working please email their rc.config to me? Greatly appreciated.

[SuSE Linux] 8-bit X cut&paste problem
by Ted.Harding＠nessie.mcc.ac.uk 03 Dec '98

03 Dec '98

Folks, I have a curious problem with cutting&pasting 8-bit characters between xterms, i.e. characters with the 8th bit set (such as Ÿ which has code 0xBE = 190 decimal). It arises when pasting into a window in which a remote machine is logged on, in which case the 8th bit is stripped (i.e. the above gets pasted in as ">" with code 0x3E = 62). Pasting into a window in which the local machine is logged on is OK -- the 8th bit is not stripped. In detail: On machine A: xterm windows: AA1 (machine A logged in) AA2 (machine A logged in) AB1 (machine B logged in) AB2 (machine B logged in) pasting AA1->AA2 : OK (8th bit not stripped) pasting AB1->AA2 : OK (8th bit not stripped) pasting AA1->AB1 : FU (8th bit stripped) pasting AB1->AB2 : FU (8th bit stripped) And it is exactly symmetrical by machine: going to machine B, On machine B: xterm windows: BB1 (machine B logged in) BB2 (machine B logged in) BA1 (machine A logged in) BA2 (machine A logged in) pasting BB1->BB2 : OK (8th bit not stripped) pasting BA1->BB2 : OK (8th bit not stripped) pasting BB1->BA1 : FU (8th bit stripped) pasting BA1->BA2 : FU (8th bit stripped) Can anyone (a) explain why this happens? (b) suggest a cure?

Re: [SuSE Linux] HELP! w/ Linux Boot Menu under Win95: LILO
by tmssvco＠eede.ericsson.se 03 Dec '98

03 Dec '98

Hi I thing you hav't understood the boot process of linux. 1. step Wether if you use LILO or LOADLIN both are only resposible for load & start the linux kernel. This runs most the time. If you can read uncompressing kernel on screen, the kernel has been found and starts running.!!! But a linux kernel include NOT only some basic HW drivers but allmost every driver and like W95 this drivers perform an autoprobing. This part often failed (also like W95). To get started you can inform your kernel with kernel parameters. This is a liddle bit (or much) sophisticated but is supported by both loaders. Often it is more simple to get rid of critical HW (e.g. NE2000 cards often confuse SCSI driver) and recompile the kernel w/o the critical driver. If the kernel can be load&start, there is no need to change the partition table 'active' entry, because the load stubb is running. Only dos & m$win need to be started from a active partition. Linux, OS/2 and much others can start from everywhere. 2. step When all your hardware is found and initialised, the kernel try to mount a root file system (any disk/partition or RAMDISK with e.g. umsdos, ext2-fs etc.) This is indicated by seeing a list of all found disks and partitions on screen followed by search for root / found messages.

[SuSE Linux] CXN::Cyrix_MediaGX(intro)

Hello all, I am a consultant specializing in PERL engineering in the UNIX admin arena, but #1 on my wish list is to be my own boss ( just like everybody else ). So I formed a sub-S corporation* and I am going to devote about 300f my efforts to fielding a Linux thin client. Enter the pc-on-a-chip dev box that I should be receiving in about a week. I will then start assembling the apropriate suse install for my little product. My real target will be to support emerging market nations especially in remote applications with the aim of bringing high content products to first world nations and supplying them with software aimed at creating more communications and independant management. I also have involvment with Caldera and hope to use their multi-tier organization on the server side, with a more traditional focus on business software. While I 100upport GPL and the Artistic License, many concerns using the open source OS's have been more than generous to our clique of ~10,000,000. As a VAR, I am going to get some really good hardware offers. I would like to pass along the great deals I get to any geeks hoping to advance the lowly "set top box." It occured to me the other night that I will have to set up a distribution and service system... details details Thanks in advance, John van V. aka Pres/CEO CXN, Inc.

[SuSE Linux] Some Comments regarding S.u.S.E. Linux
by regular_guys＠yahoo.com 03 Dec '98

03 Dec '98

Hi All, I know I should send feedback to S.u.S.E Inc. rather than posting it to this mailing list. However, I was thinking that these problem could be something I'm having :)) First of all, I love the way S.u.S.E packaged their Linux with KDE and so on. I don't think I wanna go back to any other distribution. Ok, let me talk about the problems, and then I'll say what I like to see :) 1. In the newbie installation (Install from the scratch) --it didn't install PPP (not to mention suseppp)--- l8r I had to manually install it. When I reinstalled the whole Linux again, I browsed and found that PPP was not selected either. Ok, they may leave that as an optional thing because some people may not connect via modem. Well, during configuration, YaST does ask if you want to configure modem---then was SLIP installed by default? I guess newbie shouldn't have to encounter that since most of the linux users uses PPP now days. 2. After the installation is complete, system boots up and I get login prompt. No GUI cause my X server wasn't configured??? When they have cool stuff like SaX, why this wasn't a automatic thing?? They could implement XF86Setup ( which would give the autoprobe option) 3. I wish they'd implement a prompt (gui would be nice) which would ask ---Do you want KDE, FVWM, and so on on boot (so newbie wont have to type it manually note: When I click on startx as root, it launches FVWM2 and when I type startx as user, it launches KDE. If I try to run KDE manually as root, it generates an error (I can't remember) 4. Oh I would love to see a Undo option. I see a Abort option, but something (I can't remember specific ) I've done and I clicked on Abort and kinda messed up the few changes I've made. Ok, Now there's something I thought could point that out.... once again, this could be "user error" -->my problem :)) ----S.u.S.E must separate German Distribution and English distribution completely. a. When I loaded the default package during Install from the scratch---I browsed the selection and found out that it had some German manual, help files selected besides the English ones... I guess that's why I saw some German instruction ;p b. Why there isn't a S.u.S.E Newsgroup?? Almost all the distribution has newsgroups, but why not S.u.S.E (may be one for German and one for English) Note: I know I sound too greedy. Getting the power of Linux, good look of KDE and ease of installation. But hey it doesn't hurt to wish:) == "Your mouse has moved. Windows must be restarted for the change to take affect. Reboot now?

Now that Adaptec is putting out the specs to the higher end cards I might just wait a bit, since a bigger hd is in my future. ;) A bootable hd or cd-rom is a nice addition. Right now I'm running a 2 and 2.5GB EIDE's with a 32x cd-rom, which works fine..., but I'll need more space shortly, so adding a 10GB SCSI (whatever..UW, etc) and transferring the old drives to two systems laying around here would work.

[SuSE Linux] two major question...
by m.lusetti＠mo.nettuno.it 03 Dec '98

03 Dec '98

the first question is about firewalling SuSE 5.3, i've read the docs and found the example very usefull cause it's very similar to my conditions so i've setted up my policy like the docs show so the system seems to work (the other PCs can reach the internet) bu tat boot time when the service is started gives me an error on "... socket failed" i can't remember and in /var/log/* nothing talk about it. Can anyone explain me what does it means cause i don't matter about socket ? Second is for ISDN device, a Teles S0/16.3 passive card which at boot time is initialized correctly but al shutdown when the system try to unload the module give me an error on ... " cannot locate char-major-68 device... " after that it gives me some possibility that can have caused this error... like "kernel that does not support device major then 64... etc" Any hints is appreciated.

>I wonder what Unix system is better. I think that totally depends on what your trying to do. Linux on a commercial server, I don't think I would. Linux as a web server, ISP, or a home system, yes I would. I would rather trust a commercial product rather than linux when my job depends on it. I do believe that Linux is much better for home use. It's faster on a pc and seems to run a larger variety of apps. >FreeBSD is supposed to be a "real" Unix while Linux is just >considered an Unix clone. >I mean where is the difference or dose it make a difference? I don't think so. I have SuSE, SCO and Solaris running on my machines and I can't see very much of a difference in any of them. They differ when it comes to commands, but all-in-all they are pretty much the same. Linux is a great way to learn Unix.

[SuSE Linux] Need pppd hints please
by regular_guys＠yahoo.com 02 Dec '98

02 Dec '98

I did a install (the one for the newbie) and it installed everything successfully. I had some problem with the X, but sax took care of that problem. However, my PPPD daemon wont start automatically. My modem is configured just correct---I can run minicom and get modem tone (I even get the authentication too) and atz passes ok. But there's no PPP. Under KDE, the utility that holds info for all the services, doesn't include PPP(BTW, Never knew there could be something that awesome window manager out and people dying for some other crap) anyway, it seems to me that I did not load the PPP package because I don't have /etc/suseppp find / -name suseppp (No file or Directory) How/where can I install that package from? (Which CD?) What would be the easiest way---I would like to know if there's anything under KDE to install it easily? Ah, just tell me anyway to resolve this issue:) Thanks ahead. **************************************************** Second problem is not priority at the moment, but if you happen to have the answer, please tell me how can I resolve this. when I login as my user account, I type startx (it takes me to K Desktop) When I login as root and type startx (it takes me to fvwm2)---if I manually try to run KDE, it will give me error message (can't remember the error message) I configured it 3-4 times using SAX and everytime it finds my adapter and everything.

In sax, under the mouse tab's test area, when I click the left button, the left square on test-area diagram turns black. When i click the right button, the right square turns black. When i click the the two buttons together, the middle square turns black. This is what i expected to happen. When i start X, though, the right button on my mouse acts as the middle button, and I have to click the two buttons together to get the right-button functionality (which i use frequently in KDE).

[SuSE Linux] pppd and kppp ...

Hello, I've been pulling my hair out trying to get pppd and kppp working together. I've now got it as far as dialing and trying to Login to the ISP's Network but the following error is reported in /var/log/messages: pppd 2.2.0 started by root, uid 0 Using interface ppp0 Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/modem LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests Connection terminated ioctl(TIOCNXCL): I/O error Exit. My pppd timeout in kppp is set to 90 seconds, and my modem timeout is set to 120 seconds. My modem is a US Robotics 33.6 VoiceModem. I have been unable to find any standard init strings for the USR 33.6 so I don't know where to begin. I've set my Init Delay to 3, and my Guard Time to 5. If I dial from a Windows session everything is fine, so I'm unsure where my error could be. I've ensured that the /etc/ppp/options file is empty, and that /etc/ppp/pap-secrets contains the appropriate parameters, and that the PPP arguments in kppp have been set according to the instructions in the kppp help file.

[SuSE Linux] Xserver and fonts
by paspartu＠uni.net 01 Dec '98

01 Dec '98

Hi all, I'm using Gimp 1.0 which came with SuSE 5.3. Surfing around Gimp's site I read about a way for using lots of fonts even TrueType fonts. In order to do that I'm supposed to install xfsft. I must admit that the instructions to compile xfsft are not very clear (at least for me), furthermore consider that I am a bit scared to play with Xserver since I damage my monitor...well, there was the complicity of Sax forgetting it is just a program executing my directions...okay just keep it short...I would like to receive some tips or some suggestion before facing xfsft compilation or if there is a different solution to the fonts problem.

Ok, ok, ok..

[SuSE Linux] pppd hints
by stevep＠bash.linux-shell.net 01 Dec '98

01 Dec '98

Greetings, To those having problems with ppp, you might put debug in your suse options file so you can see what it is doing. (Or invoke: /etc/suseppp/scripts/ppp-up <something> debug ) If there is a /var/lock/L* file for your modem existing before you dial, then you should rm it or something. Finally, I found that if you don't have your pap-secrets right, and possibly your name=<isp_name> (can't remember exact syntax) in your options file, it will drop the connection abruptly. In any case, check your /var/log/messages file after turning debug on.

As a sidebar, it must be considered very easy to unsubscribe to the suse lists, as the procedure is written at the bottom of every mail you get from the list.

If you can get the right scsi info about the chipset, you probably could get it to work under Linux, but for all intents and purposes, it is a "windows-only" scsi card.

Edit your /etc/suseppp/generic.options dialing string a bit. It seems that the 3Com Impact IQ external doesn't quite know it's supposed to be in PPP mode and the documentation is QUITE a bit lacking. Perhaps SuSE could put it into the SDB? For the dialing line: ATDT change to: ATS71=1DT<isp phone number>. THAT will put you into PPP mode. Setting S80 will give you either 1B or 2B. Setting S80=0 gives you 1B mode, S80=1 gives 2B mode. I swap my options files depending on need (I usually use 1B mode since it's a bit cheaper...) by renaming the files, but could do some fancier stuff if I felt lazy enough to script it... :) Oh, don't bother compiling in I4L modules as the external TA is treated as a modem. I don't have the ISDN modules in at all and things work nicely. Though I *REALLY* have got to get a 16650 card for the TA, 115200 is a bit slow for ISDN... These are my generic.chat files that work nicely with my 3Com ImpactIQ external TA attached. > > I too am having a problem with getting a ppp connection up.

Are there any programs available to use infra-red comms i.e. connect to a mobile phone etc (I recently purchased a copy of Nokia Data Suite for Win this seems to install what I think are software modems (Nokia Data/Fax modem and Nokia Voice) and allows me too download and add/modify entries in my mobile phone 'address book' as well as give me real time signal and battery indicators..is there something for Linux..) 2. On 5.3 within Yast there is a package for toshiba machines I selected this as part of the build , What are the features ? and how do I install? 3. How do you setup the HylaFax Server and SUSE_client 4. Has anyone managed to get the Oracle 8 Pre-release Db working... p.s. KDE on the Libretto looks Cooool!

[SuSE Linux] ttys* problems
by bfootdav＠bellsouth.net 01 Dec '98

01 Dec '98

hello all, i have my modem installed on cua3 irq10 and everything works fine. after reading that the `cua' convention is being dumped entirely for `ttys' i began thinking that i should set up my modem and ppp stuff to look for the modem at ttys3. ok, the problem is that when i boot up Linux (SuSE 5.3) reports that ttys3 has irq3 (default setting which is not irq10 where my modem really is). does anyone know how i can go about changing this? i was able to change the cua3 previously to use irq10 instead of its default option, but can find nowhere to change the ttys3 setting likewise. thanks, dave - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

Then things stop with the message: " pppd deamon died > unexpectedly...". Any hints as to where to look and what might be the cause?? I too am having a problem with getting a ppp connection up. As to your problem, check the help file that comes with the kppp app. There should be help button right on the interface which will bring up HTML. There's a section that describes what might be wrong when this message pops up. My problem, I fear, is more complex. I have version 5.3 and am using kppp to try to get the connection up. Without posting all my /etc files, I'll briefly explain the dilema. The modem is a 3Com Impact IQ ISDN terminal adapter connected on ttyS1. The modem init string and dial commands are all correct. I get a connect and the ppp interface is started. But after that, I can only ping the remote address and none beyond that. ifconfig states that ppp0 is active and route states that ppp0 is the default route. The normal network configs floating around do not work with my system because the machine is also connected to an ethernet. Please HELP!

Yes, if you mean the AMI MegaRAID card. SuSE kernel 2.0.36 supports MegaRAID or you can patch the SuSE 2.0.35 kernel with a file that is on AMI web site. The file is for RedHat Linux, but the patch worked fine in SuSE 5.3 version of the 2.0.35 kernel.

Based off of the ip (MAYBE it isn't spoofed) you should be able to go to the ISP with the timestamp and make a complaint. According to my lookup the machine/port name is: R-G-189- 128.access.net.il . The 192.116.189.128 and the 192.116.194.173 belong to access.net.il, the address 192.116.189.1 is musso.inter.net.il . Just remember to reference your timestamp with GMT. When I've had problems with a non-spoofed IP and sent a log, complaint and timestamp to the admin of the ISP I've ALWAYS gotten results. > > On a several occasions, somebody has managed to break into my networked > SuSE Linux box and do some damage.

[SuSE Linux] SO 5 versus applix and soon wp8
by mperry＠basin.com 01 Dec '98

01 Dec '98

I am interested in losing my NT partition and reclaiming that 6 gigs for something else. Dont quite know what yet... It seems that SO 5 has some issues regarding installation and I did order it on cd. I also have ordered corel wp 8 and after using sdcorps wp before, I must say that wp may be the one I end up with. It just seems polished and well done. I like applix at a functional level. applix seems to say, "give me work to do and I can do it". Can someone using StarOffice 5 post some basic comments about its function with regard to importing office 97 blech files especially excel blech and word blech? I dont care so much about powerpoint blech but it would be nice to know that it does that. I have a word97 documents which is 3mb in size that applix 4.4.1 chokes on. Want to do a little experiment? If you have SO 5 and want to try importing this file, I will shove it to my anon ftp server at work and you can have at it. If you have the adabas D documentation in word format, try reading the apeng.doc for import. Subjective comments welcome. Objective reviews accepted also.

Is there a way to get the Umax UDS-IS11 scsi card working under linux? It's a piece of crap, but it's all i got right now. I had some trouble finding the driver for Win (i had to get it from Umax's german web site), so I doubt a linux driver actually exists.

[SuSE Linux] Upgrade 5.3 to 6.0?
by graham＠barnowl.demon.co.uk 30 Nov '98

30 Nov '98

I installed 5.3 as a new user. Since then I have updated a number of packages/programs. For some I have installed new RPMs from the Suse ftp site, but most I have downloaded in source tar.gz form and installed them. Is this going to cause any problems if I then upgrade to Suse 6.0? Considering that the RPM database will not show the version of the binary that I am actually using? - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

[SuSE Linux] Difficult choice for a newbe
by bodek＠iconnect.co.ke 30 Nov '98

30 Nov '98

Hi to all, Just wanted to share with you my little experience with SuSE 5.2. I just got one CD (kind of simplified version) with one of the computer magazines and wanted to try. I really love it, although it is quite difficult for people who (like me) now nothing about Linux. So I went to look for some books and got a few, unfortunatly all with and about Red Hat 5.0. Then I was thinking which distribution should I use, the one I started to like, or the one boundled to the books. Now, thanks to the list I decided to stick to SuSE and purchase the 5.3 version (although wanted even wait for the 6.0). Being a GUI guy, I like the KDE and didn't have any problems with setting the internet connection. Of course I still have to work on it, but at least I can use email and internet with KDE. I managed even to install the OSSfree and got my AWE 64 pnp to work, although still not yet at full power. Once again thank you all for the support you gave to others and to me. Hope I will be able to contribute something once I get comfortable with the new way of computing. -- Boguslaw Czerniakowski PO Box 468 Limuru, Kenya - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

[SuSE Linux] installing QT ver. 1.41
by sashley＠strattonpress.com 30 Nov '98

30 Nov '98

I want to play around with X programming and thought I would try Qt. I discovered that there is a more recent version available -- 1.41. I have completed step 1 in the installation instructions (gunzip ... tar ..., etc.) Now I come to step 2: "Set some environment variables in .profile or .login, depending on your shell." It then lists six variables. I realize that this is a less than brilliant question, but I can't find the answer in the manual: How do you set an environment variable? More specifically, how do you set up Linux so that the environmental variables are set when you boot the OS? One of the variables (PATH) is supposed to "locate the moc program". What is the "moc" program? If I install ver. 1.41, is it going to screw up any other programs, like KDE? If these answers can be found in the manual, just a page reference would be great.

Are there any programs available to use infra-red comms i.e. connect to a mobile phone etc (I recently purchased a copy of Nokia Data Suite for Win this seems to install what I think are software modems (Nokia Data/Fax modem and Nokia Voice) and allows me too download and add/modify entries in my mobile phone 'address book' as well as give me real time signal and battery indicators..is there something for Linux..) 2. On 5.3 within Yast there is a package for toshiba machines I selected this as part of the build , What are the features ? and how do I install? 3. How do you setup the HylaFax Server and SUSE_client 4. Has anyone managed to get the Oracle 8 Pre-release Db working... p.s. KDE on the Libretto looks Cooool!

Here's an email from a past discussion about SO 5.0 -Dee >>>>> Forwarded message from Mike Pilone <mpilone(a)slac.com> 1.) As user, untar the soffice package into a subdir in your home dir, like /home/username/temp/. This should be the home dir of the user that will most often use the package. 2.) su to root and go into the dir you just untarred to. Go into the glibc intall dir and run the install script. Install the libraries into the /opt/Office/lib directory. 3.) exit root login and return to user 4.) Add the path to the glibc libraries to your library path, a command like: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/Office50/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH for sh,bash setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /opt/Office50/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH for csh,tcsh 5.) Still as user, go into the soffice install dir and run ./setup. Install soffice into your home directory. I think it defaults to ~/Office50. This is needed because it seems that the user running it needs to have write access to the dir it is installed in. that should do it. The problem now is that you need to have the glibc path in your library path everytime you run star office. to do this, I added the following line to my .cshrc: alias soffice "setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /opt/Office50/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH;/home/user/Office50/bin/soffice" Hope that helps, -mike On Sat, 7 Nov 1998, The Squeegy wrote: > > I am having trouble getting SO 5.0 installed.

[SuSE Linux] telnet and diald on local net

Greetings, I have a problem involving the diald as installed by Yast on my 5.3 system, and >>>>local net<<<<. Before diald, when I made a telnet connection to one of my local ethernet boxes, the telnet connection was made instantaneously. Now, diald must start and connect before telnet can complete, even though no internet telnet host was involved. My /etc/hosts file has the local net boxes in it. /etc/host.conf looks okay too. So, I don't think dns is/should be involved... Anyone know how to let telnet work locally without diald kicking on? Thanks.

[SuSE Linux] Another one with a printer prob
by sandyseeds＠iname.com 30 Nov '98

30 Nov '98

Hi Y'all, I feel sorta stupid throwing this out to the list considering the amount of help that's been offered here over the past 7-8 months, but..... I can't get my HP LJet 4L to work with my re-installed 5.3. Been thru SuSE's Printer Check List and, ping local host = ok ping 'hostname' = ok "lpc up all" lists ascii, lp and raw: printing enabled; daemon started "modprobe lp" (as root) produces no results that I can see in xterm updated aps filter (v1.5) installed via YaST gs installed via YaST device selected in YaST is lp1 (single pc w/1 printer; no network) (nothing happened when I set it lp0. But, no "polling" comment for lp0 either) /var/log/messages shows "kernel: lp1 @ 0X0378 (polling) and it also does not show lpd being started during bootup??? If I enter "lpd" from an xterm, /messages sez: lpd restarted tixlpq shows files in the queue, and notes the printer is "offline?" Since it's worked before with both 5.2 and 5.3 I'm stymied. No changes have been made to BIOS or hardware. Just a reformat and reinstall on Satureday.... Is there a way to check and see if I've selected the right LP#? Where do I confirm that lpd is run at bootup? Or do I?

[SuSE Linux] Deskjet 400L Help
by mezger＠usa.net.nospam 30 Nov '98

30 Nov '98

I'm trying to get a HP Deskjet 400L to work with SuSE 5.3 and have a few questions. I wasn't sure which printer configuration (in Yast) to use because DJ 400L was not listed... I ended up using the 'DeskJet' configuration. Is the the right one to use? Linux recognizes the printer now, but when i do a ' lptest 35 6 > /dev/lp1' I get laddered text. How can I tell my printer to make a carriage return after each line? This is the first time that I have ever setup a printer with Linux and I must say that this is an area that could use a little improvement. This is probally the hardest thing that i've ever dealt with in Linux.

You should give network printing a try when you get this going. Pain in the butt. I didn't do a lot to get my 400 to work really, I print through SO5, Netscape and sometimes VI.

[SuSE Linux] lilo trouble...

i've been configuring a new suse kernel in order to install the oss (open sound system) sound drivers so i can get 16-bit digitial audio functioning properly... i currently only have 8-bit sound capability... >-< i don't believe the kernel configuration has been a problem... but i think i'm doing something wrong with lilo..?? windows and redhat linux are on /dev/sdba; suse linux is on /dev/sdb... i am trying to get a new suse kernel installed on /dev/sdb... my lilo.conf is on the redhat partition on /dev/sda... i have therefore been trying to do the lilo reconfiguration from redhat with root on /dev/sda, even though the new kernel i want to install is on /dev/sdb... after placing the new kernel in /vmlinuz on the suse partition, i am getting following output from 'uname' after boot: **************************************** <4>Linux version 2.0.32 (root@rjfleck) (gcc version 2.7.2.3) #7 Fri\ Sep 25 00:05:34 PDT 1998 **************************************** now i recompiled the new kernel on november 18, and if the correct /vmlinuz is what's running it should show the date it was compiled, n'est-ce pas...? i was also suspicious because /var/log/boot.messages was exactly the same after installation in spite of the fact that i modified the kernel configuration...??? and previously configured sound drivers are still installing even though i disabled them in the new kernel configuration... *#&*(! i suspect that, in spite of the fact i am modifying /etc/lilo.conf and running /sbin/lilo on it from the redhat partition, the mbr is still finding and running the old kernel... my suspicion was further reinforced by the fact that the first line of suse boot.messages gives a curious message which looks lilo-related: **************************************** Cannot find map file. **************************************** i noticed that my redhat root directory has a /map file dated the date i reconfigured lilo... but there is no /map in my suse root directory with the vmlinuz i am trying to boot...! how does lilo get a map file to more than one root system when there is more than one linux o/s in the boot configuration...? my lilo.conf follows below... i am now pouring over the lilo documentation to try and get an idea of what i'm doing wrong... but i thought it might help to put the question out there... best, ********************************************************************** rj fleck 715 ashbury street san francisco, ca 94117-4013 phone: (415) 661-9067 fax: (415) 661-9271 internet: rjfleck(a)ccrma.stanford.edu ********************************************************************** boot=/dev/sda map=/map install=/boot/boot.b prompt timeout=100 image=/vmlinuz label=redhat root=/dev/sda5 read-only image=/vmlinuz-old label=redhat-old root=/dev/sda5 read-only image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.0.32 label=linux-original root=/dev/sda5 initrd=/boot/initrd-2.0.32.img read-only other=/dev/sda1 label=dos table=/dev/sda image=/vmlinuz label=suse root=/dev/sdb2 read-only image=/vmlinuz-old label=suse-sound root=/dev/sdb2 read-only #image=/vmlinuz.98.09 # label=suse-original # root=/dev/sdb2 # read-only - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

[SuSE Linux] KDE Install Question
by sandyseeds＠iname.com 29 Nov '98

29 Nov '98

I'd like to have KDE on the HD for some of its apps, however I do NOT want to run KDE when logging in. I specifically don't want Kwm and kfm to run at all. How do I get a different wm to be the default, once I DL kde from SuSE's CD's? My experience with 5.3 is that if kde is there, it defaults to it. Also, any suggestions to cure this one? As root, root can only access an X-session via startx, which runs fvwm2. When xdm is run, the users can login, but root can not. (This is a straight 5.3 install without kde. Maybe that's my prob?)

Re: [SuSE Linux] kppd - Modem USR Modem string?

Hi Jeff: Not a Winmodem... But external -yes. (USR Sporster Flash v.90) It now seems to work most of the time, but occasionally, when you send it the init string, it just doesnt send back "ok" so kppp just sits there. diald is no longer running, and I've looked at the bios to check the ports (mouse = irq4 modem =irq3 ) . I see in the faq a mention of speed of intialisation of the modem - tried adjusting the speed - no difference. I've also tried changing cr/lf, lf, cr as per the FAQ - all to no avail. I've tried all the different initialisation strings that have been suggested - as well as nothing but "ATZ", - all seem to work about the same! I've tried different /dev names - ttyS1, cua1, /dev/modem - all work the same. In minicom, an "ATZ" gets an "ok" everytime, but if I try to reset the modem with alt-z m, the string is echoed on the screen, but nothing else happens. I've also tried different speeds from 9600 up to 115000 (or whatever) - also no change. When it plays up, the only 'cure' is to power-down and reboot the > PC < (Resetting the modem has no effect) So I'm guessing its something to do with the serial port in the PC itself ....... I will try your suggestion about pnpdump - oh, and I have the OSS sound driver installed..... could there be any sort of conflict there I wonder?? When I tried to install a second sound-card, the driver gave some complaint about other PnP cards being present... Perhaps I must see if uninstalling the driver makes any difference. Having spent two days fiddling with the modem, and a day getting the Real Audio Player to partially work, I'm starting to be not >quite< so critical of WinNT/98 ! .... but on the other hand, SuSE 5.3 has yet to crash on me!!!!
