[SuSE Linux] resolver libs don't seem to be working on 5.3
by jduksta＠bbn.com 23 Nov '98

23 Nov '98

Hey All: Has anyone had any problem with name resolution under SuSE linux 5.3? I'm running behind an IP Masq server at home (haven't had a chance to test it at work, but I don't imagine there would be any difference) and the resolver lib doesn't seem to be working. resolv.conf does point to my IPMasq server for DNS and named is running on the IPMasq server and is working. I CAN: - successfully ping IPMasq Server. - run nslookup and dig against the IPMasq server and get valid responses. - see my laptop request lookups from IPMasq server with tcpdump when using nslookup and dig. - Successfully resolve names from the same laptop when running Windoze. I CANNOT: - get the machine to do lookups from any application that should be calling gethostbyname(). e.g. netscape, ping, etc. - see my laptop request lookups from IPMasq server with tcpdump when an application should be calling gethostbyname() Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, -john ===================================================================== John C.C.

[SuSE Linux] Another X-Windows query
by phil＠ps.hf.umist.ac.uk 23 Nov '98

23 Nov '98

OK.... this is probably just me being young and inexperienced at these things but here goes: I am trying to get my s3 video card to run X in 16bpp and 1024*768 resolution. After d/loading and trying to run sax, (the only way I could get the server to startup) I discovered that the monitor is recieving no signal... or at least the power management light comes on... Now I am using a Samtron monitor, and in the handbook it does say that it can handle the stuff I want. I can get that resolution and depth in Win98 so I know it can't be a hardware problem. Does anyone have any hints as to how to make the darned thing work? Many thanks...

My network configuration has 3 hosts (Linux, NT and OS/2) connected via ethernet. The Linux system serves as the Internet gateway. I am using the 10.0.0.x network addressing scheme. The subnet masks are 255.255.255.0 The Linux gateway has 2 interfaces modem and ethernet, for networking. I have traceroute on my linux system.

[SuSE Linux] IRQ Info
by derricksimpsonATintonetDOTcoDOTuk＠intonet.co.uk 23 Nov '98

23 Nov '98

Hi All, Thanks for the replies. I think that I had better supply some more information about the problem and what I am trying to achieve. The modem in question is a Pace 56K internal one. This device is a jumperless pnp modem, most definitely not a win modem. It works fine under dos and win95/98. Now here is the rub. Under dos com2 IRQ 3 at 0x2f8h it works fine. In win95/98 it moves address to com3 IRQ 15 at 0x3e8h and also works fine. Incidentally this info comes from modem properties in win. In SuSe, using yast it I have set it to dos-com2 without success. I have also used isapnp which referred me to the man page. So from that I used pnpdump to produce a isapnp.conf file which I edited and placed in /etc/. This file is run when the machine is booted, and seems to place the modem on com2, 0x2f8h, IRQ3. But I still don't seem to be able to communicate with the modem. Actually I have tried every com port address and IRQ and still no luck. It seems that the modem refuses to talk to SuSe, which is why I was trying to initialise it at boot time before anything else got to it. At the end of the day I am trying to get a demonstration machine running so that I can show and make comparisons to prospective clients. Once again thankyou for your assistance.

[SuSE Linux] CGI file open/create problem

Hi! I have a have problem that I heard have to do with the Apache webserver, but the voice never said anything about to solve it... to be able to access, open/read/create a text (data) file I have to chmod the directory to 777, which is not so good, but otherwise it just don't work to use the open command in a perl cgi script. Someone know how to get around this? 766 or even 666 should be enough, if not 644... but that might is just for the file. Also I notice that a file created by open is given ownership to user "wwwrun" and group is "nogroup", is this correct? Have tried to figure this out but with no success.

Can someone please tell me the proper way to alias IP's in SUSE, as I have 30 ip's aliased on my box and can only ping one of them internally, but they all work externally I just used Yast to add them, was I incorrect for this?

[SuSE Linux] Hmmm... I must have done something.

Before I always have been able to update (overwrite) a file on my webserver via ftp, but now it don't works anymore. I have to delete it first, and then upload the new version, setting permissions etc. I can't figure what have changed as I havn't done any changes to the configuration (as I can remaind me). Can someone be so kind to cast some light on where to look? Ownership have not changed... The only thing I can remaind me of was that I earlier connected with the IP-adress to the box, but now use the ftp.domain.com name, but switching back don't help. The domain name also have a virtual IP-adress configured with named and a zone file (have several virtual domains). Any spotting light would be great.

Getting Xforms as a tgz file will not help, since RPM will still not be able to see that it is installed. Besides, Xforms is on the SuSE CD-ROMs in RPM format, so why dl a tgz archive?

Okay, I realize that this is a really sketchy error report, so feel free to ignore me... on two separate installs of SuSE 5.3 (CD) I've had this problem occasionally. That is, I startx and it blacks out the screen, then returns to the console and says "Cannot open mouse: device or resource busy" ... here's the kicker: the cure for it is to run SaX, use the existing XF86Config, and then immediately do File->Exit.

OK, so maybe it is my SuSE settings.

I hear the beep, then almost immediately it goes offhook, with a steady tone initiated shortly thereafter. I thought it was a modem problem until I discovered that minicom does not have this problem.

[SuSE Linux] IP firewall and masquerading
by dennis＠lovelady.com 22 Nov '98

Hi, gurus: I seem to be without a S.u.S.E. book, and am having trouble figuring out the changes that must be made to /etc/rc.config (and any related changes) in order to make IP firewalling and IP masquerading work. The /usr/doc/packages/firewall/Firewall-mini-howto.txt that is installed seems to be only in German, and since I don't know that language, I am completely stuck. Could someone please point me to an English S.u.S.E. howto? I have done all of this previously with Slackware, which is *totally* different, so I have the basics down, but without documentation for such things as FW_FRIENDS, and a host of other variables, I am stuck. Thanks for any pointers.

Okay... SuSE 5.3 ... I'm trying to install a 56k Leopard Win PnP modem. I have read through the "How To ..." from the SuSE support db. And I've done that, and I've gotten so far as to get a successful report from isapnp -- but, I also have Win95 installed on this box and under that the modem works on COM3. I set up Minicom for /dev/cua2 (or any other really) and when it starts, I cannot type anything, i.e. the modem is not working. Any tips, advice, suggestions? Also -- I have a regular old IBM 28.8 modem installed in there too that has worked under Red Hat & Slackware.. but it won't even recognize that. Is the presence of the PnP modem suppressing its ability to function? Argh! - 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] thinkpad 560 solved
by squeegy＠c54820-a.carneg1.pa.home.com 22 Nov '98

22 Nov '98

Hello all, I got X working in the 800x600 resolution As a long time user of Linux, I am still amazed at its power. This poor thinkpad was destined for the junk heap at work. Windows 98 wouldn't recognize the backback cdrom. win 95 had to be loaded with floppies. neither os even detected the pc card stuff the first time, the network card needed separate drivers. I support the unix machines at work and while other support people at my work used work laptops, I have never bothered to ask for one. I didn't want to have to have win anything on a laptop. well the pc guy at my work was so fed up with this laptop that he was close to pitching it. I stepped in and rescued it. I did a nfs install of suse 5.3 that went perfectly. I had the minor trouble remembering how to setup ftpd because once I get ssh on it I disable ftpd. The biggest problem I had was getting 800x600 to work in X. and that turned out to be getting the mode lines correct. this labtop is quick and light and all together usefull. now I can watch tv and work. Linux and SuSE rules!!

This really ticks me off. I use XiG and KDE and I simply cannot get 2.0.36 get to work with XiG's server. The answer I got was that they don't test with KDE because of their competing product...CDE. Hey...I paid my hundred bucks for the server...and now I get no support. Apparently, they're looking for my 350 to make it worth while. This is ridiculous.

My wife >sits down at a kde desktop and can find things by clicking. I'm >impressed. My wife is no computer person. I don't HATE KDE. On the contrary. I would recomend it to other windowmanagers because of your statement above. I do think it is stable, kinda slow though. That is one of the main reasons I run WM right now. It is very fast. I used KDE ever since it came out, because it looked familiar and was easy to use. Now, I'm pretty familiar with Linux and can experiment with other managers and like better control over my desktop. Plus I want it to look different. I'm trying right now to switch to E. That looks very cool. The amount of control is extreme. But, just because someone doesn't like one windows manager over another doesn't mean that it isn't a good program though. Just a matter of choice. I do applaude KDE on the GPL release of QT. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at <A HREF="http://www.hotmail.com"><A HREF="http://www.hotmail.com</A">http://www.hotmail.com</A</A>> - 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] Maximal mount count
by EGRETLURES＠kricket.net 21 Nov '98

21 Nov '98

I have 5.3 on the second hard drive. Hdb1 is the small boot sector, hdb2 is a 130k swap, and hdb3 is a single partition (balance of the 5gb). I am booting back and forth frequently between Win and Linux and every so often I get "maximal mount count" for hdd1 and hdd3 with the system staying on disk for an extended period of time. I am preparing to reformat the disk into separate partitions and would like to know exactly what is causing the mount count message and how to avoid it after the new install.

Next month I'll probably run something else. That's what I love about Linux. If ya don't like it, change it. It is also your opinion that it looks more like OS/2 that Win.

[SuSE Linux] Resume unfinished downloads in Netscape 4.5?

Is there any way to pick up and resume a download that was not completed, and have it start up where it left off, rather than re-write the file and start over? I'm 79 0one downloading StarOffice 5.0, and I lost my connection. I'd hate to have to start this one over! I shudder to mention it, but Win95 (and even Win3.1) has always simply started from the point of disconnection, and finished the download.

Re: [SuSE Linux] ISP connects but can't ping, ftp, browse, etc.
by k01164＠ko.hhs.dk 21 Nov '98

21 Nov '98

Depending on your ISP's setup you might not be able to fully configure your ppp-connection from yast. When I configured my ISP, I had to manually add a few lines to the chat-script and ppp-options file afterwards. The reason was, that my ISP's server required some special options, like it wouldn't start the PAP process until it had received a ppp command. This might also be the case for your ISP. Try running 'tail -f /var/log/messages' on another tty when you try to go online, and activate 'debug' for ppp. Then you can see what the server writes, and what your machine responds. For me it was quite a success when I finally got it working. Sincerely Ole Kofoed Hansen On Fri, 20 Nov 1998, Aaron Prohaska wrote: > > Steve, I have been a little slow responding to email lately.

eric, this may be an easy one.... look at /etc/resolv.conf you should have up to four lines in the file, this controls dns name resolution domain <yourdomain.com> nameserver <someone's-nameserver-ip-address> nameserver <someone's-nameserver-ip-address> nameserver <someone's-nameserver-ip-address> there also might be a file /etc/host.conf which tells which order to perform the lookup order hosts, bind multi on also, man bind would give a more detailed insight to dns setup. check it out! dc ---------- From: Eric Marquez To: 'suse-linux-e(a)suse.com' Subject: RE: [SuSE Linux] Help setting up DHCP.

Re: [SuSE Linux] ISP connects but can't ping, ftp, browse, etc.
by k01164＠ko.hhs.dk 20 Nov '98

Two of the options I had to add to PPP were: ipcp-accept-local and ipcp-accept-remote They have the effect, that the server can specify your IP-number when connecting, and their own as well. Try adding these. If they are not needed, they will have no effect, but if they are needed, it might just be what was wrong. The reason SuSE have not included info on many ISPs outside Germany is, I guess, that we, the users, and the ISPs have not told SuSE the info they need, and the fact that all ISPs use different connection methods and might even change them doesn't help. Remember: If you get a valid script for your ISP, and it is not included in the suseppp package, SuSE would probably be delighted to include it in future releases. Sincerely Ole Kofoed Hansen > > (No flames intended. Don't flame me about how easy ppp really is.) > I would never flame about how easy ppp is. Of course, IF you are lucky, and you have the right ISP, it IS easy. For the rest of us ppp can be a real challenge. - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

Is anyone on the list running XiG's server with kernal 2.0.36? I've been to their tech support as I am having problems bringing KDE up under 2.0.36. They claim they don't test with KDE as they have a competing product, I think it was called CDE. I have had to go back to 2.0.35 as KDE crashes under XiG's server and the new kernal. If anyone's using this combo, I'd appreciate feedback. Thanks. Harry - 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] Help setting up DHCP.
by EMARQUEZ＠CSI.compuserve.com 20 Nov '98

20 Nov '98

Hi how's it going. Here's my problem, I used to use RedHat 5.1 and had DHCP installed on it. Now I'm using SuSE 5.3 and I'm not sure how to set it up. When I put in my static IP in Yast setup I can't get it to see the network. When I has RedHat 5.1 I just put the info in and selected DHCP for boot and installed the DHCP rpm and it would get on the network. (RedHat was nice that way) Here is some info for example, I don't feel comfortable giving my real IP gate and such. address: 100.101.30.136 netmask: 255.255.255.240 Gateway: 100.101.30.129 host name: beavis.butthead.net MAC address: 00 a0 24 f1 75 fc Now, I have this address reserved in the DHCP server on the network. How do I set this up on SUSE. This is all the info that I was given. I have set this up in Yast with my ethernet card. My ethernet card is a 3com 509b. How do I get it back on the network?

[SuSE Linux] Hylafax and susefax

I have things working and my modem being seen. The modem is a supraexpress internal 56 flashed to v.90. It seems to have a problem dialing. Anyone using susefax and hylafax out there that can help out with some common pointers on getting hylafax and the susefax thing up and running. I have run the scripts like faxsetup, addfaxmodem, etc. I have a hylafax server starting at boot time. I just cannot connect out there somewhere. I am quite lost on the all the modem init commands that it asks for when running the addfaxmodem script. The teeny manual does not even come close to this level of detail.

[SuSE Linux] Eliminate the xconsole....?

A couple of months ago someone posted how to eliminate the xconsole from opening when starting an x-window manager. Seems I've managed to loose the copy of that post.

Hey check this out: Finished work tonight and rolled in my car for the drive home. Turn on the radio and the "computer minute" report, a syndicated national computer blurb (one minute)for radios, comes on and blows me away as its all about Linux the new alternatives. When asked about software it states Office 99 and the OS are available for an unbelievable 99 CDN with filters to allow importing of MS docks. The broadcaster goes on to mention the OS is rock solid and has been reported to be operational without crashing for over a year. HE ends the broadcast with "simply amazing.."

[SuSE Linux] Multiple NICs
by dmgrover＠eclipse.net 20 Nov '98

20 Nov '98

Been having trouble getting multiple network cards into an SuSE system. Intel SE440 motherboard w/ P2, 6.4 IDE, 64 Megs, SuSE 5.3, kernel 2.0.35. I have tried with both 3c905b's and Kingston pci ne2000 clones. What is happening is that if I go over two NICs, only two will respond to pinging. dmesg shows them coming up on boot, and they show up properly in ifconfig. I have installed them thru yast, giving each it's own ip, but if I have three or four in, only two reply to pings, the other(s) hang, 1000acket loss. I found the "Mini-HowTo on using multiple Ethernet adapters" at <A HREF="http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/misc/multicard.html"><A HREF="http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/misc/multicard.html</A">http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/misc/multicard.html</A</A>> and added append = "ether=0,0,eth1 ether=0,0,eth2 ether=0,0,eth3" to lilo.conf and re-lilo'ed as suggested, no change. Suggestions? DMG -- "Why is it that we rejoice at a birth and grieve at a funeral?

[SuSE Linux] Bashing Revisited
by stevep＠bash.linux-shell.net 19 Nov '98

19 Nov '98

Okay. You guys are killin' me! (I originally posted the "stop bashing Microsoft" post.) When you give an example of how Microsoft fails to perform in a given situation, AND give an example how Linux solves the problem, that is not bashing!!! Bashing is unmitigated abuse. It's the act of bad mouthing something without explaining. Granted, it's FUN! That's what I meant... So, SO is a memory hog? Is Applix less so? I've heard Applix is less polished, but more stable and efficient. It gets the job done. Also, I hope SuSE 6.0 will benefit from RH's nightmare with glibc. Have a good day!

[SuSE Linux] Applixware 4.4.1/Office 99 page numbers

Hi This may be slightly off-topic except my Office 99 came from SuSE so here goes. To get page numbers in to a document, I have to do the following: edit the page number field to be: {page_number -printEval} then print to a Postscript file and lpr to a Postscript printer. Any other method gives me the field name in the header instead of the page number - that is the substitution does not appear to occur. According to the on-line manual, this substition should not need the -printEval qualifier. Is this a problem with my set-up or is it a fault in the software? The version number is 4.41(1021.211). Is there a proper Applixware list - I have a registration card to send off but Luftpost is not so schnell as email!

[SuSE Linux] WinTV installation

Hi all, I want to install a Hauppauge WinTV card in my PC. I have read the docs and they contradict: the readme says adjust TUNER in the Makefile to a number corresponding to the card, the Makefile says do not edit but do it somewhere else (where I cannot find it). Can anyone give me any ideas of how to do it? P.S. For the Germans: I can speak and read German, not write it (failed that exam). Joost Kraaijeveld Askesis B.V.

[SuSE Linux] KDE setup
by fpress＠koan.de 18 Nov '98

18 Nov '98

Hi! I am using SusSE 5.3, and have KWM as my windows manager. I have tried (as a user) to use the device icons in the templates folder to setup zip, cdrom and floppy icons on the desktop to mount and unmount the devices. I have tried to change the ownership and give rwx permissions after making the icons as root.. I then copied the results to Desktop folder in my /home/user dir. I tried to use the templates as a user, but couldn't adjust the properties or even supply mount points for them. Any help gratefully received. BTW I had Redhat set up with KDE 1.00 and didn't have this access problem, so I assume it is some kind of access setup in Suse, hence my posting in ths list.

[SuSE Linux] netcat, port monitoring and bind
by zentara＠mindspring.com 18 Nov '98

18 Nov '98

I'm trying to use netcat to listen to a port. Up to now, I've never had a need to run package bind. If I try to start netcat to listen on port 80 netcat -p 80 -l -v I get the error message: Can't bind 0.0.0.0:80 already in use I figured it was tring to use dns lookup or something, so I tried netcat -n 127.0.0.1 -p 80 -l -v which supposedly skips name service lookup; but I get the same error message. Any clues, I would prefer not to have to set up named. :-) - 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] monitoring a tcp port
by zentara＠mindspring.com 18 Nov '98

18 Nov '98

Hi, I know alot of people have done this, so why not ask? I'm playing with Mysql which listens on TCP port 3306. For the time being, I only am using it for tests and learning and stay on my localhost and local lan. BUT, when I go online and have the server still running, I would like to know if anyone is trying to gain access to the port, and their ip address. I figure that tcpdump is the thing to use, but what would the syntax be to monitor the single port and write it to a log file? The perl script Courtney seems to do this, but it has been designed to detect Satan-style attacks, and dosn't report a single port request. I wish the man pages had better examples. :-) - 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] Hacking Linux 101, Hubert what's happening?
by zentara＠mindspring.com 18 Nov '98

18 Nov '98

Hi, As a "skills exercise" I tried to hack into my own machine. A few months ago , Linux expert Hubert Mantel posted the following. ####################################################################### But there is even a better solution you should know if you want to learn how to become a hacker: On the LILO prompt just enter the following: LILO boot: Linux init=/bin/bash this will tell the kernel to simply launch a shell instead of starting the init process. So you immediately become root and there's no need to log in (this is the reason why LILO should be password protected and allow passing of kernel parameters only to authorized people; see the documentation in /usr/doc/packages/lilo). Now you are on your own. You have only this little shell but you have the power of root. As the init system didn't run you will have to do everything manually: mount -n -oremount,rw / # re-mount root partition read/write mount /usr # if /usr is on a separate partition vi /etc/passwd # correct your changes umount /usr mount -n -oremount,ro / # re-mount the root partition readonly reboot # or press RESET if reboot doesn't work # / is readonly so it's safe Yes, it is THAT easy to break into a system. So, LILO should be password protected and one should not have MS-DOS on the same machine because parameter passing works with loadlin just like with LILO of course. Or make booting DOS a password protected option for LILO, too. ########################################################################### So I used this technique, but I'm happy to report it didn't work, and now I would like to know why. This is what I experienced: I followed the instructions in Hubert's post, and the remounting of root seemed to work. I entered a test directory, deleted a test file, and it SEEMED to delete. I then edited a test.txt file and saved it, and it seemed to save. BUT when I did an ls in the test directory, it showed the original test.txt AND test.txt~. When I rebooted into my normal system, neither the test.txt was altered, nor was the test file deleted, even though it seemed to be changed when I hacked it. This is good as far as I'm concerned, since it means that I can't mount my partition as read-write without a floppy boot. But why isn't Hubert's hack working? Has some new security been added to the 2.0.35 kernel? - 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] Microsoft bashing is getting old
by stevep＠bash.linux-shell.net 18 Nov '98

18 Nov '98

List, Im my opionion, usenet and lists are too full of Linux users doing Microsoft bashing. That bandwidth would be better used to emphasize Linux strengths instead of Microsoft weaknesses. Granted, MS o/s's are easy prey for bashing, and I have certainly been guilty of it too. But it's not good. I use Microsoft products at work. :( However, when I mention linux to my workmates, I try to show "why" Linux is better, using real life examples, for Linux strengths. Also, we should realize some people don't use computers enough to make the Linux learning curve worth it. So, don't try to evangelize them. If you want a surprising perspective, take a look at what FreeBSD users say about Linux users. You would think Linux was written personally by Bill Gates! However, many UNIX people think Linux is a good_thing, as it is presenting a real option to MS o/s's, and it is spotlighting UNIX as never before. Take it easy.

[SuSE Linux] 2.0.36 Problems
by gdoris＠shaw.wave.ca 18 Nov '98

18 Nov '98

Well, I downloaded the new kernel, 2.0.36, from SuSE's site and installed it. I recompiled the new kernel without problems. I can't use lilo (there is a compatibility problem with my SCSI card's bios and lilo) so I start from a boot disk. First, I removed the old modules from /lib/modules and then I did a make dep clean zImage modules modules_install zdisk (couldn't think of anything else at the time!!!) The above ran to completion without errors. However, when I booted from the new disk I get a series of errors... 1. there are several messages that modprobe couldn't find module dummy0. I have no idea how to get rid of these???? 2. the freeware version of oss will no longer work. I tried re-installing it but get an error that it is not compatible with this level of kernel. The evaluation version does work but will expire at the end of the month. Other than this the new kernel seems to work fine and all my other programs are running ok. I don't really care about oss since I can just compile the kernel for sound but does anyone know how to correct the modprobe messages???? These are irritating.

[SuSE Linux] Diamond S3V GX2 AGP
by jacobw＠louisville.edu 18 Nov '98

18 Nov '98

I was trying to setup an AGP Diamond S3V GX2 and I didn't have any luck with the S3V server. SaX detected the card as S3V, but as soon as it switched to video mode, the monitor switched off. I tried seting up the card using XF86config, using the S3V server always caused my monitor to switch off. I got it to work using the SVGA server, but it didn't work well. It would take fits of "double vision", which rebooting would fix, and once it locked my machine completly.

Has anyone experienced an odd behavior out of kdm's login manager? On two seperate machines, I've seen the kdm login manager just sorta go bonkers .. The little graphic inside the window isn't displayed as anything more than a broken image (pixles, fuzz, odd colors, long lines -- like an image that isn't completely loaded). Restarting kdm does not help. However, upon reboot, the error was gone .. Everything was normal. I've seen this on two machines running 5.3 of SuSE so I can't attribute it to hardware, kernel versions (2.1.x and 2.0.35) .. -- Jeremy Dinsel vi for a better world - 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] Open Source license for Qt
by Jean-Marc.Decouleur＠ubs.com 18 Nov '98

18 Nov '98

Hi everybody ! I'm a subscriber of the QT mailing list and I got today the following announcement : next version of Qt will be Open Source !! GOOD NEWS !! :-) Here is the announcement from Troll Tech : ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TROLL TECH ANNOUNCES PLANS TO MAKE NEXT GENERATION OF Qt OPEN SOURCE Troll Tech AS today announced that the Free Edition of Qt, its popular Graphical User Interface toolkit, will be released under an Open Source license. With the new license, programmers will be able to distribute and share any modifications they make to the Qt Free Edition. The lack of such permission in the previous Free Edition license has been the source of some dispute in parts of the Linux community since KDE, the widely used Linux desktop environment, is based on Qt Free Edition. In early 1996, Troll Tech released the first Free Edition of its GUI toolkit, with full source code included, gratis to programmers of Open Source software. Earlier this year, Troll Tech initiated the KDE Free Qt Foundation to legally guarantee the continued availability of Free Editions of all new versions of Qt. Now, with this new license offering, Troll Tech is affirming its intention for Qt Free Edition to be a non-controversial option for development of Open Source software, and the best in its class as a application development framework. "I am very pleased that we have been able to overcome the final obstacles to releasing the Qt Free Edition under an Open Source license" said Eirik Eng, Co-President of Troll Tech. "The Open Source development model is showing sustained success, particularly in the Linux area." A draft version of the new license text, dubbed the QPL, is available at <A HREF="http://www.troll.no/qpl/"><A HREF="http://www.troll.no/qpl/</A">http://www.troll.no/qpl/</A</A>>. It will be first applied to the next major release of the Qt Free Edition; version 2.0. "After reviewing the QPL, I find that it meets all the criteria to be considered Open Source," said Eric Raymond, author of The Cathedral and the Bazaar paper and joint copyright holder of the Open Source trademark. "This license should allow Open Source software to compete on features and polish rather than ideological position, which will be better for the Open Source community." Linus Torvalds, father of Linux, is happy with the new license, saying, "I am delighted to see that the Trolls have found a license that suits both them and the free software community. I hope this finally stops the divisive license flaming that has been going on, so that we can all get on with writing code." "Caldera Systems is very excited about Troll Tech's decision to publish Qt under an Open Source license," said Ransom Love, President and CEO of Caldera Systems. "Customer response and feedback to the KDE desktop environment included in our OpenLinux 1.3 release has been overwhelming. Offering Qt under an Open Source license will allow KDE to stand on its technical merits without causing undue concerns to the development community over licensing terms." "SuSE congratulates Troll Tech for their wise decision to put Qt under an Open Source License. SuSE thinks that this step will (hopefully) unite the Linux community again," said Burchard Steinbild, Managing Director of S.u.S.E. GmbH. "SuSE wishes Troll Tech much success with their products and hopes their reputation in the Linux community rises after this move, they have deserved it." Troll Tech continues full support for the Qt Professional Edition, for companies and developers not choosing the Open Source model. Software written for either of the official versions will remain completely compatible.

[SuSE Linux] Remote Printing
by jpg＠hpcvsjpg.cv.hp.com 18 Nov '98

18 Nov '98

I am attempting to allow a remote UNIX (non-Linux) to print to my local printer with mixed success. I have been able to configure the remote UNIX box to send me print requests. When I instruct the remote system to send print requests to 'lp1' , the print request arrives in the '/var/spool/lpd/PS_300dpi-letter-ascii-mono-300' directory, with a control and data file. However lpd does not spool it out. When I instruct the remote system to send print requests to 'lp2' or 'lp', the print request arrives in the '/var/spool/lpd/PS_300dpi-letter-auto-mono-300' directory, with a control and data file. However lpd does not spool it out either. When I instruct the remote system to send print requests to 'lp3' , the print request arrives in the '/var/spool/lpd/PS_300dpi-letter-raw' directory, with a control and data file. However lpd does not spool it out either. I have reconfigured '/etc/inetd.conf' to allow tcp connection on port 515 for printing.

I have 5.3 installed and downloaded the oss 3.9 drivers last night. The installation went without a hitch. This system has the Yamaha OPL3 on the Intel AL440LX motherboard. The sound works fine with one exception. A few times the last "chord" stays playing if the device is prematurely terminated. This has happened with the KDE players for MIDI, wav, and the CD. Has anyone else experience this problem? Thanks Henry - 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] Network and SCSI problems
by mephisto＠tsedhcp-92.pulse.com 18 Nov '98

18 Nov '98

After installing S.u.S.E. 5.3 on several other machines, I expected no surprises when transitioning this box to S.u.S.E. from RedHat 5.0. First the network problem. This box uses an EtherPro 10/100 adapter and is located on a 10mb hub, the eepro100 driver is used. The behavior is that performing 'ifconfig' causes the adapter to drop off line, the hub light goes out and no network communication is possible. Executing 'rmmod' then 'insmod eepro100' turns the hub light back on while executing 'ifconfig' turns it out again. The machine hardware has not changed since it was successfully used with RedHat 5.0, the same driver and conf.modules settings are used as well. This is a tri boot system using Solaris x86 and W95; the networking works fine under Solaris and W95. Any pointers or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. I'm also unable to access my FAT16 W95 partitions. The system uses an Adaptec 2940UW adapter with 4 SCSI devices, 2 Quantum hard drives, a Toshiba CD-ROM, and a Travan tape drive. After mounting the W95 partition on /DOS, the symptom is that doing an 'ls /DOS' causes the system to hang for a minute or so, a 'ls'output may or may not be produced. During this time the adapter activity light will cycle in a pattern on for several seconds then off for several seconds. During this time the activity lights on the CD-ROM and disk drivers will periodically blink. I've tried all the 'aic7xxx' drivers provided with S.u.S.E. 5.3 with the same result. Again any pointers or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

[SuSE Linux] Hi All

Hello, Bought 5.3 two weeks ago, and after 1 defective disk (arrgh!) and several dry installs, I got the dang thing working. (Note: that's work with a small 'w'; I've not got XFree86 running yet) Something about 'binary of the Xserver XF86_xxx is not a binary file'. I've read the relevant info in the FAQ, but I could still use a tad of advice. Ditto the sentiments about most Linux books being good for the first few steps, but then they jump *way* ahead by saying something like 'then go find file x and edit it to do this'. Even RedHat press 'teach yourself Linux in 24hrs' is *ULTRA* guilty of this. Why the supposition of foreknowledge? Then again, I did manage to get XF86 running under RedHat...

There is also lots of documentation available via the internet, that can ease the pain of getting involved with Linux. I think you just have to be picky and make sure prior to purchasing the book that it contains the information you want presented in a manner that's suitable to your needs. Also, caution on buying Unix books, and expecting that to be the same on Linux because there are differences between using Linux and a commercial Unix, and there are differences between distributions. Running Linux is a Linux specific good book. It's not very detailed but provides a good start. As you probe more specific topics you, of course, want a specific book to the area you are looking into, but for getting started it's nice and affordable. For just using S.u.S.E. and getting SETUP I think the actual S.u.S.E. manual seems solid to me for beginners, and contrary to the original post it DOES give sufficicient information on setting up X on S.u.S.E. Linux. The most recent edition includes some information on 5.3 specific changes like the addition of Sax to the configuration choices for X. Once you're on board of course you need a good admin/user oriented book. Note: remember Unix and Linux can be different and the GNU versions of programs don't behave quite like the Unix programs of a same name all the time, so if you are JUST using Linux a Linux specific text is probably the best thing for you and keep in mind the distribution you'll be using cause it can and DOES make a difference. Things like YaST et all are distribution specific and if that's going to be your main distribution you want a book that covers this stuff. This is why I think the S.u.S.E. manual is actually an ideal choice for S.u.S.E. Linux beginners, and is a bit underrated. And, after all, you can't beat the price cause it comes with the 5 cd set you're probably already purchasing. A good UNIX book in general, I feel is the Unix classic, Essential System Administration. It's a bit dated, but has tons of information and for those of us using Linux and/or multiple flavors of Unix, it has cross-platform information on HP-UX, Solaris etc. I find, for me, that this sort of combination of different flavors has tremendous sex appeal, and despite the fact I feel it does have shortcomings, I highly recommend it for the serious user. Another nice book ( though a bit more expensive ) that I actually prefer to the aforementioned book by Frisch, is The Unix System Administrators Handbook. This book unlike ESA doesn't talk about Linux, but does discuss Unix in general and gives special mention to the eccentricities that differ between the different Unix flavors, like Sun Solaris, HP-UX, etc. A very intelligent book and ideal for a Unix-phile who just can't get enough. Another solid and reasonably priced text is Unix System V: A Practical Guide by Mark G. Sobell. It's 800 pages and quite solid and you can get it for under 40 bucks. Well worth the price of admission. I'd put this book in the 'old reliable' category. This book has most of those commands a person will use everyday, as well as information on shells, scripting, a brief section on the history of Unix, directory structures, etc. It is System V specific, as indicated by the title, though. The vast bulk of information is sufficient even if you're using a BSD system I feel, and I think it falls somewhere inbetween a basic setup book or Running Linux, and an admin book like Frisch's. Sorry, for the fact my mails have been a bit long-winded of late. -M - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

I just had this problem. You can see peoples responses to my problem under the title "Suse 5.3 Kernel build errors" There are basically 2 solutions: 1) Make the kernel smaller by removing components you don't need and putting the ones you do need into modules. or 2) Instead of "make zImage" use "make bzImage".

[SuSE Linux] How can I get process information ?
by andreas_fasl＠yahoo.com 17 Nov '98

17 Nov '98

Hallo, I have got the following problem: I am porting a ANSI C program from DIGITAL-UNIX to LINUX. One function is checking if a process, which I want to start, is already running. I am doing this check in the following way: I am searching in the /proc filesystem for all files open these files with the system call open and then I perform the syscall ioctl(fd,PIOCPSINFO,&buf) on the open filedescriptor (struct prpsinfo buf). Afterwards I compare the buf.pr_args with the processname and if equal I am using the desired fields set in the buf.pr_pid and buf.pr_ppid. In my SUSE LINUX Ver. 5.2 I do not have the structure prpsinfo, neither the constant PIOCPSINFO. Even more the /proc filesystem on the alpha looks different from the /proc filesystem in LINUX. How should I solve the problem ? Is there a more platform independent way to solve this problem ?

Folks, Yes, you can use LILO to boot NT. Or rather, you can use LILO to get you to the NT boot menu, which isn't quite the same thing. I still think it is a better option installing LILO into the root of the Linux partition, and add Linux to the NT boot menu using dd. As far as TechNet is concerned, the October 1998 issu has nothing as far as recommendations on installation goes. It does tell you how to sort out an overwritten LILO and how to remove it, though.....

The database is a procurement management tool which I built under access. Its a good test and learning tool for me. It would be nice to run queries using the applix data tool Any help or pointers on very basic adabas database building strategies would be appreciated. One small comment - Purchasing the office99 along with suse 5.3 nets me two suse manuals. Would not one suffice? -- Michael Perry mperry(a)basin.com ------------------ - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e - 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] FTP -lan install SOLVED!

For those of you interested in using the ftp install on a machine without a cd rom the mount point is---> /var/adm/mount Ive went nearly crazy trying to find this out....and someone from the list was gracious enough to give me pointers on finding it, and I might add... it works great! couple of things... the boot-ftp-install asks if you want to use anonymous and if I use that I get a file not found :-0 so use a know system user and password and mount on /var/adm/mount wallah!!! the server is mounted as such mount -t iso9660 -r /dev/cdrom /var/adm/mount and unmounted (for changing cds 1-2-3-4 etc) umount -t iso9669 /dev/cdrom /var/adm/mount using the up arrow to repeat the command and left arrow to remove the -r and add the u You have to make sure your not in the /var/adm/mount when umounting or you'll get a "device busy" This works great for updating the "remote" machine without a cdrom! Hope this helps someone from loosing it.....(as I almost did) hehehe... also if Im not correct here please straighten me out as to the anonymous user and ??? password Have fun! ;-) rob -- Bookmarks <A HREF="http://www.connix.com/~dizzy73/LBM.htm"><A HREF="http://www.connix.com/~dizzy73/LBM.htm</A">http://www.connix.com/~dizzy73/LBM.htm</A</A>> "The ability of the OSS process to collect and harness the collective IQ of thousands of individuals across the Internet is simply amazing.

[SuSE Linux] OSS Sound driver

I tried and retried compiling the kernel with the sound options for my SB AWE64. Yesterday, I finally tried OSS and found how easy it was!!! Well, at least I know how to compile my kernel now! Anyway, when I was playing a CD using the CD player that accompanied KDE, I noticed that the sound seems to be mostly coming out of the right speaker. You can barely hear the sound on the left speaker. The sound is coming out, but it's very faint. It works fine in Windows. Has anyone else had problems with sound coming out of just one side? And yes, I've checked the balace of the volume. It's kinda odd, considering if you have just a mono connection, the sounds are supposed come out of only the LEFT one...

[SuSE Linux] SCSI image

I have an Adaptec 2740 scsi adapter in the machine I'm installing SuSE 5.3 on. When I use the default aic7xxx drivers after the install (on the first boot) the boot hangs while probing the scsi bus. So I used the older aic7xxx drivers (4.1.1). Machine boots fine. However, when I try to compile a new kernel it seems that the new aic7xxx drivers are used and I'm back at the start again. My question is; 1. how do I get the 4.1.1 version drivers to be the ones used when creating new kernels. 2. the ftp.dialnet.net site does not have the 4.1.1 drivers that are used by SuSE, where else might they be ? thanks for any help. trevor calgary alberta canada - 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] Setting up a Network
by bigtoe＠blim.demon.co.uk 16 Nov '98

Hi all. I hope someone can help me with this, I am trying to setup a network with 2 PC's running S.u.S.E Linux 5.2, and have various pieces of equipment, some of which I don't know their function. What I have is: 4 3Com Etherlink III 3C509BC cards - these have UTP/BNC and a 15 pin DSUB connector. 2 Ungermann-Bass, Net/One Twisted Pair Access Units, Model No. ASP310. ??? 1 ASANTE FriendlyNet 10T Adapter. (UTP either end one marked "To Computer other To Network" ??? The Twisted Pair Access Units have a connector which fits the 15 pin DSUB on the 3Com cards but with only 8 pins used, these pins correspond with the printed circuit tracks on the ethernet card's connectors. The other end of the Twisted Pair Units has a single UTP connector. My question is does anyone know the function of these Twisted Pair Access Units and the 10T Adapter? Can they be used to connect 2 computers together without having to use a hub? I also have a cable with connectors to fit the UTP sockets, it has 4 wires with both plugs wired the same. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated, this is my first attempt at networking and I am not sure how to proceed. -- Regards Jo ----------------------------------------------------------------------- For greater stability - Linux FreeBSD Unix.

Hi, I also just got a Gateway 2500 Solo. I have everything working but the sound. Well, actually, I got the CD to be able to play and I can hear sound from it but I can't hear the *.wav, *.au or *.midi files play. I did get the graphic card to work at it's full ability. What I had to do was run XF86Setup rather than the SAX that is included with S.u.S.E 5.3. Before I could run and have the XF86Setup work though, I had to go to the /usr/X11R6/bin directory and rename XBF_NeoMagic file to XF86_XBF_Neomagic. You have to name it that and change the case(NeoMagic to Neomagic) before XF86Setup will work. Once I did that, I got it to setup great. I also found a site that helped me too. <A HREF="http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/kharker/linux-laptop/"><A HREF="http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/kharker/linux-laptop/</A">http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/kharker/linux-laptop/</A</A>> He is trying to do the same thing you are trying to do as far as get a group of us Solo users together. Hope this helps. By the way...what did you do to get your sound to work?

[SuSE Linux] S.u.S.E. Linux 5.3 on a Gateway 2500 "SOLO" Laptop Faq.

I have successfully installed S.u.S.E. Linux 5.3 on a Gateway 2500 "SOLO" Laptop and have WordPerfect, Netscape, GIMP and dial-up working, i.e., I am successfully migrating from Mac OS to Linux, BUT, there are some sugnificant hangs, no PageMaker, GIMP ain't Photoshop yet, no Illustrator, and Real Audio gives me a "segmentation break" squeal when I try to launch it. Never-the-less, I had to replace the Winmodem, discovered NeoMagic ain't as simple as pie, and Gateway has disowned me, some support techs refusing even to talk about hardware specs and stuff when I mention I have Linux installed, even when there is no System Software aspect to problem. SO: I was wondering, if you are using a Gateway SOLO laptop, wand you have discovered some kludges, work-arounds, or significant problems or appraoches to problem solving, (like...CAN we use more than 8-bit monitor settings?), e-mail them to me, I will assembal them into a list by topic, and repost here as a one-shot FAQ, forward it to SuSE, and html it and see who might post it as a Beginners Guide to Linux on a Gateway Laptop. Hell, the Power PC Web-faq is user modifiable, and covers everything under the sun, ( we have <<A HREF="http://www.qni.com/~x86/solo2500.html"><A HREF="http://www.qni.com/~x86/solo2500.html</A">http://www.qni.com/~x86/solo2500.html</A</A>>>, and <<A HREF="http://sunsite.unc.edu/LDP/HOWTO/PCMCIA-HOWTO.html"><A HREF="http://sunsite.unc.edu/LDP/HOWTO/PCMCIA-HOWTO.html</A">http://sunsite.unc.edu/LDP/HOWTO/PCMCIA-HOWTO.html</A</A>>>), so far.).
