Hi, is there something similar to M$ FrontPage for Linux? (Of course - "Open Source") I'm using M$ FrontPage for webdevelopment (more the easy maintenance functionality) but can do without the bloat and obvious undocumented features.

[SuSE Linux] AGP and linux
by A.Crowe＠OPENMAIL1.TSEA-E.sukepabe.simis.com 13 Nov '98

13 Nov '98

Hi, Ididn't think that there was a miniport driver for AGP as such, so if you boot into just the command-line, that's all you get (maybe the BIOS handles this kind of thing?). You will need an X-server that explicitly supports the AGP card you have, though. For example, the X-servers that shipped with the likes of Caldera's OpenLinux Base 1.2 (XFree86 3.3.1, I think - correct me if I'm wrong) didn't support AGP, but some of the X-servers - such as the Mach64 server - for XFree86 3.3.2, which shipped with SuSE 5.2, did.

I.e. you can't have /home/user1 on machine 1 and mount /home/user2 from machine 2 as /home/users2 on machine 1. You have two alternatives: 1) Move your physical user directories to another subdirectory and use /home as autofs mount point E.g. keep all your physical user directories under some arbitrary local directory (e.g. /users/user1, /users/user2 ..) on each machine and use /home as autofs/automount point. The advantage then is that all users still have there automounted home directory under /home/user1, /home/user2 ... 2) Keep your physical user directories local under /home on each machine and use a different autofs mount point. E.e. use /users as automount point and keep the physical user directories under local /home/user1, /home/user2 ... directory. In this case, the advantage is that do not need to move users home directories, however all users will have to use /users/<username> as their home directory. Generally speaking, users should never need to know where their physical home directory is located, but should always use the same directory name for $HOME on the whole network. This is one of the purposes automounters like autofs are designed for. So if your users now use /home/<username>, I'd clearly prefer alternative 1). However some sysadmins also prefer solution 2).

hmmm ... i have a question about autofs and home directories. i have suse on a laptop, the laptop has 'local' users (users with home directories on the laptop) and it has Žnon-local' users (users mounting their home directories via autofs). it seems that autofs mounts over /home at boot time, even if no 'remote' users are logged into the system. the symptom is that /home is empty when the system boots with autofs and /home has local home direcories that are there when autofs is not started at boot time. i guess i could move the local home directories to a different mount point but this still seems odd to me. is there a better way to make this work? -- -- michael - 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] SuSE nasties
by awol＠STAT.UNIMAAS.NL 12 Nov '98

12 Nov '98

SuSE has some 'nasty' habits. One of them is lumping together different packages. For example readline-2.1 is packaged together with bash-2.01.1. It took me some time to find this out. The question now is if you want to install readline-2.2 how do you go about uninstalling readline-2.1, can yast or rpm do it? Further how can I get a more recent, preferably RPM version, of f2c. The f2c version packaged in RedHat 5.1 comfortably handels FORTRAN90. The version packaged in SuSE 5.2 does not! So I would like to try a more recent version. It would be very nice if SuSE, just like RedHat, had a contrib directory on the server where people could place contributed RPM's. Now we have to wait till SuSE packages something in the distribution or, in most cases, compile the sources ourselves. Another irritating habit is the "DOS naming" convention of the RPM's. You cannot immediately see which version is available and have to do some extra work.

[SuSE Linux] Partitioning problem for scsi disk

Hello all, I installed a scsi card on my suse 5.2 machine and built support for scsi disk, scsi generic and buslogic scsi card in the kernel (make mrproper, make menuconfig, make dep, make clean, reboot). I attached an external syjet drive to the scsi port, turned the machine on and inserted the disk. But I can not partition it because cfdisk gives error for the /dev/sda device. I know the scsi card and the syjet are seen by the machine, because I get the following as part of my /var/log/boot.message. I have tried various other /dev/sd* of no avail. Any idea how I can partition this? mke2fs /dev/sd* is not work either persumably because I am required to partition it first.

12 Nov '98

Hi, I converted a Win95 machine into a Linux machine. I ran a Internet Proxy server on my Win95 machine so I could access the WWW from any other machine on the LAN with dial- up on demand. I would like to configure my Linux box the same way. Up to now, I have ppp dialup running with diald working as well. I can access webpages with Lynx (No X for me yet - need the harddrive space) What should I do next? Thanks Nico PS: I had an excelent example of M$ support: Bought a package in Febrauary and sent in the registration card right away. I received the answer today, giving me my support registration number and informing me that my free support stops 31st December this year. I needed the support months ago, not now! At least, Linux does not offer much "official" support, but the unoffical support is great! - 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] Tables in LATEX and HTML
by herbertbetz＠csi.com 12 Nov '98

12 Nov '98

I'd like to do some complex scientific tables in Linux. So I thought, I might learn LATEX and it's tabular commands. But how, if I not only would like to print those tables but also to display them in HTML ? So I would be better off learning the linuxdoc SGML ? But where can I find pointers for doing tables and inserting graphics in Linuxdoc SGML ? According to /home/sgml/sgml-tools-0.99.0/doc/guide.txt I tried the following, but could not reach them: <A HREF="ftp://ftp.cs.cornell.edu/pub/mdw/SGML"><A HREF="ftp://ftp.cs.cornell.edu/pub/mdw/SGML</A">ftp://ftp.cs.cornell.edu/pub/mdw/SGML</A</A>> ? <A HREF="ftp://ftp.gmd.de/GMD/sgml"><A HREF="ftp://ftp.gmd.de/GMD/sgml</A">ftp://ftp.gmd.de/GMD/sgml</A</A>> ? I also could not reach the mailing-list 'majordomo(a)via.ecp.fr'. Does it still exist ? Alternatives ?

[SuSE Linux] Qt 1.141 Is Driving Me & My Printer Crazy!!
by sandyseeds＠iname.com 12 Nov '98

12 Nov '98

After removing the Qt 1.31 packages with YaST I installed Qt v1.41. All seemed to go weel until I rebooted the machine. Now there's an untold amount of sh*t that gets printed as soon as the x-server and a window manager load. The printing appears to be what I'd call "printer code." Mostly pages of the letter "F." The first page starts out with: [quote] %!PS-Adobe-1.0 %Creator: Qt 1.41 %Title: Unknown %CreationDate: <whatever is appropriate for the time of printing> %Pages: 2 <that's a damn lie!!> %DocumentFonts: <font style stuff> %EndComments % Standard Qt prolog [end quote] (and then it goes on for over 20 pages) It's a hell of rush to get qps open and kill every sign of "lp" or anything else that resembles a print job, before it eats another half ream of perfectly good paper..... Any ideas how to make this stop? Any ideas as to what's causing it? I really need to get this stopped ASAP. I glimpsed a "new" line scroll by during boot up that was greenis in color, compared to the gray on black. Dunno what it said, nor if it's even important. The only other change I made, besides the Qt upgrade, was to install the KDE rpm's from SuSE tied to Qt 1.41. Appreciate your help and suggestions. Otherwise send me a beer...... andy -- Sandy Seeds 100% MS Free! - 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] Humor: Your Daily Bread
by hatridge＠straubing.baynet.de 12 Nov '98

I know, I know this is not about Linux. But I could not help myself. Enjoy! J I M ----------------------------------------- Jim Hatridge Germany hatridge(a)straubing.baynet.de Proud Linux User #88484 !!!!!!!!!! Micro$oft -- Ghostdriver* on the road to the future! (*German Slang for the guy driving on the wrong side of the road!) ---------------------------------------------- "If a President of the United States ever lied to the American people he should resign." Bill Clinton, 1974 -------------------------------------------------------------------- A recent Cincinnati Enquirer headline read, "Smell of baked bread may be health hazard." The article went on to describe the dangers of the smell of baking bread. The main danger, apparently, is that the organic components of this aroma may break down ozone (I'm not making this stuff up). I was horrified. When are we going to do something about bread- induced global warming? Sure, we attack tobacco companies, but when is the government going to go after Big Bread? Well, I've done a little research, and what I've discovered should make anyone think twice.... 1: More than 98 percent of convicted felons are bread eaters. 2: Fully HALF of all children who grow up in bread-consuming households score below average on standardized tests. 3: In the 18th century, when virtually all bread was baked in the home, the average life expectancy was less than 50 years; infant mortality rates were unacceptably high; many women died in childbirth; and diseases such as typhoid, yellow fever and influenza ravaged whole nations. 4: More than 90 percent of violent crimes are committed within 24 hours of eating bread. 5: Bread is made from a substance called "dough." It has been proven that as little as one pound of dough can be used to suffocate a mouse. The average American eats more bread than that in one month! 6: Primitive tribal societies that have no bread exhibit a low occurrence of cancer, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease and osteoporosis. 7: Bread has been proven to be addictive. Subjects deprived of bread and given only water to eat begged for bread after only two days. 8: Bread is often a "gateway" food item, leading the user to "harder" items such as butter, jelly, peanut butter and even cold cuts. 9: Bread has been proven to absorb water. Since the human body is more than 90 percent water, it follows that eating bread could lead to your body being taken over by this absorptive food product, turning you into a soggy, gooey bread-pudding person. 10: Newborn babies can choke on bread. 11: Bread is baked at temperatures as high as 400 degrees Fahrenheit! That kind of heat can kill an adult in less than one minute. 12: Most American bread eaters are utterly unable to distinguish between significant scientific fact and meaningless statistical babbling. In light of these frightening statistics, we propose the following bread restrictions: 1: No sale of bread to minors. 2: No advertising of bread within 1000 feet of a school. 3: A 300 percent federal tax on all bread to pay for all the societal ills we might associate with bread. 4: No animal or human images, nor any primary colors (which may appeal to children) may be used to promote bread usage. 5: A $4.2 zillion fine on the three biggest bread manufacturers. Please send this e-mail on to everyone you know who cares about this crucial issue.

[SuSE Linux] dhclient seems flaky, try dhcpcd?
by wade＠lightlink.com 12 Nov '98

12 Nov '98

I just got cable modem service installed a couple of days ago (Time Warner Roadrunner), and of course my first project was to get it running with Linux. (SuSE 5.3 on a Thinkpad 760XL.) I downloaded and installed the dhclient rpm from SuSE's ftp site, and it worked right away. Then things went downhill. When I restart or reboot the machine, 3 times out of 4 I fail to get connected. I get a series of messages from dhclient like this: DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 4 send_packet: Network is unreachable . . . with mostly increasing values of interval. I can always get a connection (for a while) by disabling dhclient: 1. Boot up in NT and run ipfconfig to get current IP address 2. Go into Linux and use YaST to disable dhclient and enter the IP address 3. Reboot Linux. Note: This is a notebook and it is running PCMCIA modules. However, the ethernet card is in a docking station and is not managed through PCMCIA. Any advice on dhclient? And before I try dhcpcd, any tips?

[SuSE Linux] Sendmail and Fetchmail
by info＠edoc.co.za 12 Nov '98

Hi, I can dialup to my ISP using diald, and browse the web using Lynx. Now I would like to get sendmail and fetchmail going, but am a bit scared. My domain is hosted with my ISP as a virtual domain. There are a few others also receiving mail in this domain, but I do not want their mail, and would like to send from my machine as well. Sendmail has to act as a collector and sender for a few users on my internal LAN. Will it cause problems if I name my own machine the same as my domain hosted with the ISP? Is it possible for sendmail not to call diald, but to wait till a dialup connection is made and only then sending mail? It does not seem as if fetchmail can be setup with YaST.

Adding a group "named" as well clears the errmess and starts server at boot... I just can't see any (logical) reason to why there should need to be a user and group "named" to this to happen. Somewhere something must be "logical" wrong in the script setup, or is I just too newbie to understand this? I want to have a DNS I can trust in and not causing me trouble later on...

Sydney, 12 November 1998 - 11:15 AM NIC (LAN Adapter, LAN Card, Network Interface Unit, Network Adapter, Network Board, etc.) is a network component (generic term). NIC enables the PC to connect and to access a network At one end, the NIC communicates trough drivers with the shell or OS, and with the network (cabling and other nodes) at the other end. Ethernet is a shared media network architecture (IEEE802.3 standard), that is, operates at the lowest layers in the OSI model (physical and data link layers), uses a bus topology, can operate at speed up to 10 Mbps, uses CSMA/CD media access method, broadcast transmission, Manchester encoding, uses 50 ohm coaxial cable (some variants can use 75 ohm cables) or twisted pair and fiber optic cable, and it is a baseband network (some variants support broadband networks). NICs are architecture specific. An Ethernet Card can be used only on an Ethernet network. This means, that you can not use an Ethernet Card on a Token Ring network. Variants of Ethernet Cards are: 10Base5 (thick Ethernet), 10Base2 (thin Ethernet), 10BaseT (twisted pair Ethernet), 10BaseF (fiber optic Ethernet), 10Broad36, and 100Mbps Ethernet. inemes(a)transylvania.com.au Leonard Ong wrote: > Hello, > > Would anyone kindly let me know the different between NIC and Ethernet Card ? > > Thank you > > - > 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] Even more problems with StarOffice 5.0
by mariet＠teleline.es 11 Nov '98

11 Nov '98

I've downloaded glibc-rh packages, and I'm still having the same problems (the computer hangs when the SO5 installation window appears, it's not very funny to reboot more than ten times and wait to fsck to check my hd). Is there any solution to this problem? I've seen here people running it with no problems (even with an older version of SuSE). How do you installed it? Which libraries are you using? Giving more information: - I've tried to run SO5 with the glibc-rh package as it come, but I get error messages and then I rename the loader: mv ld-linux.so.2 ld-2.0.7.so, that is the loader the setup program is looking for. A lot of thaks. -- Carlos García Usuario Registrado de Linux nº: 72072 - 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] internet problems
by bfootdav＠mail.atl.bellsouth.net 11 Nov '98

11 Nov '98

<PRE> hello all, i'm using SuSE 5.3. i used to have my internet connection running wonderfully through kppp. but then i decided to configure an internet connection through YaST so that i could log on while in the console. well i went through all this and it didn't work. no big deal i thought i'll just go back into KDE and log on like i've always done in the past. so i changed the /etc/ppp/options (i think) back to #lock (as per kppp instructions) and logged on. so far so good, it looks like i logged on fine, everything went as it should. but when i tried to call up netscape it gave me the error ``unable to locate server foo.com server does not have a DNS entry". all the other browsers i tried gave similar errors. ok, so i went back into YaST and erased all that i had done in network configuration (it shows no device, no ip addresses, etc. just like you expect after a fresh install). i deleted the suseppp package and diald (for good measure). i jumped into /etc/rc.config to change it back as well as i could figure (i had to set the modem device to cua 3 - ttys3 doesn't recognize the proper IRQ whereas cua3 does; i'm going to fix this at some point). i changed every file i could to make sure it used dynamic addressing (change to "" or "0.0.0.0"). all of this to no avail. does anyone have any ideas of what i can do to get it all working again? it would seem like there is something that YaST changed when i attempted to use it to configure my internet connection, but i can't find what it might be. on another note my modem is currently pnp at cua3 IRQ 10. this works fine even w/o isapnp configured in Linux. i've thought about going in and disabling pnp on the modem and setting the jumpers to cua3/ttys3 IRQ10. ok at some point i managed to tell Linux that cua3 no longer looks at the default (IRQ 3 i believe) but could never get ttys3 see the IRQ at 10. if i manually configured the modem as i've stated, will Linux recognize the ttys3 at the new IRQ 10? if so then i can probably get an internet connection going through YaST in this manner, but i'd rather first get it working as i had it before. thanks, dave </PRE> <A HREF="bin00002.bin"> winmail.dat</A></P>

by josch57＠geocities.com 11 Nov '98

Well, an other one... easy for some I believe but confusing for me. What is the differance? Most packages you find around is packed .tar.gz, but if you wanna use Yast to install or update a package not prepared by suse yet, Yast just support .rpm (hardly found anywere) and .tgz (hard to find as well), so how to do if you wanna use yast and the package only is found as .tar.gz? I want to update my proftpd package to the later version then the one on the SuSE 5.3 CD, as well as my Apache httpd server. Or can we expect from SuSE a up to date .rpm package of those very essential apps SOON. And btw, why is so few getting on the train to offer their packages in this format from the beginning.

[SuSE Linux] To Inet via ISDN router vs. Direct Connection
by josch57＠geocities.com 11 Nov '98

11 Nov '98

Hi! I connect to Internet via a Zyxel Prestige 100 ISDN router, and have got it to work to go from my SuSE 5.3 installation. But sometimes it connects and then disconnect after about 5 sec. and I kind of have to start all over agin to make it connect, closing and reopen the window (KDE), to click on a link etc. In Win98 this never happens. Also noticed that pages open much faster in Win98 then in Linux KDE (from SuSE 5.3 CD). Any input? Also I wonder what actually differ as if I had a direct connection to Internet (if any) via a gateway/router, besides that the ISDN router makes a call to connect. The reason for this is that I plan to later set up a direct connection and like to make the later switch as painless as possible, like building a structure already now that I can continue to use... besides changes of IP adresses. I'm fairly new to Linux but done quite some networking with NT4/win95-98, but will now trash my NT4 server in favour of Linux. Will keep some win98 clients though for certain reasons. Even if it so far seams to be a bit slower to connect via Linux (may just be of KDE), its a great feeling get there that way.

[SuSE Linux] StarOffice As User - Off Topic
by hflaxman＠meganet.net 11 Nov '98

I've gotten my staroffice 5.0 installed properly. Now, the only user on the system that can run it is root. When I try to use it from a user account, soffice just starts a script that tries to repair the system. When I use the same link... soffice, as root, it starts the program. Do I need to modify permissions here? If so, how. It's strange that the same link will start the program as root. Thanks.

[SuSE Linux] Changing UID for vfat mounts
by cdw22＠hermes.cam.ac.uk 10 Nov '98

10 Nov '98

Hi all, Just a quick question - what's the most 'elegant' way to mount my dos partitions under linux so that only root and one user has access to them? I know that to do this I've basically got to # mount /dev/hda1 /dos/c -tvfat -ouid=500 (where 500 is the user I want to have access, and ther permissions for /dos are rwx------) So my question - I've seen that I can replace the 'defaults' strings in fstab for uid=500 to mount with that option but then YaST will change them back when I next configure something. So which is the best method? Where do I send emails to ask for the ability to specify options from YaST (Lenz?). Thanks...

[SuSE Linux] network cards

Hi, I'm having a problem with the installation of a second network card.

'ifconfig eth0/eth1', 'netstat -in' and 'dmesg | grep eth0/eth1' confirm my theory. The cards use two different IP address and are on the same network. The problem is that I can only ping one of the two cards (SMC) the other seams not receiving any signal (3Com). I have used different cables as well to test the connection but with no luck.

Hello As a new SuSE 5.3 user I have a few questions and observations. 1 I have a problem mounting my SuSE machine from RH4.1 Vanderbilt. Yes I will in due course load SuSE on that m/c but it needs a considerable hardware upgrade. The problem is that: mount -t nfs SuSE:/ /SuSEmnt ie mounting the SuSE root sytem onto a mount point on the RH system, enables me to do ls /SuSEmnt which gives all the SuSE root directories, as expected but ls -l /SuSEmnt or any other operation to look at the real files, gives a Permissions denied message. I have checked that the /etc/exports file on the SuSE m/c is mounted (rw,no_root_squash) and that root has UID and GID of zero(0) on both machines and everything else I can think of but to no avail. Mounting the other way round is not a problem. Any clues? I have posted a question on the Manchester mailing list, which contains some experts, but no solution has been forthcoming other than checking with showmount and rpcinfo etc. 2 I have a few observations re YaST. 2.1 One of the PC's which has SuSE 5.3 mounted had, it turned out, a dodgy hard disk and a sligtly flaky CD. With YaST, (whats this with capitals other than at the beginning of a word? From now on, it is yast and suse to save my little finger!) you cannot go into fdisk proper so I could not get into the disk system. You only have the opportunity to format the partition as native Linux and swap. I think this should be changed to allow the user to access fdisk, as the RH installation tool does. This also helped on another machine where the partitioning had to be changed but I couldn't repartition for MSDOS. 2.2 I had a number of cases (I think due to the CD) where an error -1 or worse -2 arose during installation. Yast (well you have to have a capital letter at the beginning of the sentence) just returns to the Start Installation and then tries to reinstall the failed package again. This does not exercise the CD and so the same occurs all over again. The solution I used was to restart completely but I think yast should (i) skip over a faulted package and collect them all for a final installation try at the end and (ii) provide a proper Back and Abort facility. The Abort does not work properly. 3 Someone posted that they were wondering what SuperSocket7 board worked. On a separate PC, which is actually dedicated to Windows at the moment, dispalyed via VNC on my susebox, I have 5.3 mounted OK. The board is a TX Pro 100 with an AGP slot, model M577, and 128Mb of 100MHz memory. I had problems with the AGP slot and so currently have an S3Virge card in it and I found that you needed to put the CD on IDE2 as master since the installation froze if it was a slave on IDE1. Since this motherboard comes in at 41UKP, it is a good bargain. I am running the AMD K6/II 350 Mhz chip quite OK on it.

[SuSE Linux] copying text from terminal output
by a-supde＠microsoft.com 10 Nov '98

10 Nov '98

Is there a way to copy text from a terminal screen into a file? I've got what appears to be a corrupted SuSE 5.3 boot disk, and I want to capture the text that displays when I try to mount it so that I can send to SuSE support. I've tried redirecting the output in various ways (note, these may not be entirely correct, as I'm pretty new to Linux): mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy > err mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy 2> err mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy >& err

Re: [SuSE Linux] SuSE 5.3 initial boot failure
by jpg＠hpcvsjpg.cv.hp.com 10 Nov '98

Nevermind about the fdisk and initial boot failure. I did a total re-install of SuSE on '/dev/sdb' and this time the final reboot, after Yast was done, went fine. Got a new and similar problem though. LILO cannot boot off of /dev/sdb1 now, I have to boot off of SuSE CD #1, load the SCSI modules and then select 'Boot Installed System', it queries me for the disk to boot from, I enter '/dev/sdb1' and everything is fine. I use PowerBoot boot manager to allow me to use the NT boot manager on '/dev/sda' and LILO boot manager on '/dev/sdb'. The PowerBoot manager is working on 5 other systems similarly configured, so I know I can eliminate it. Here is the contents of '/etc/lilo.conf' on /dev/sdb1 ========================================================================== # LILO Konfigurations-Datei # Start LILO global Section boot=/dev/sdb1 #compact # faster, but won't work on all systems. read-only prompt timeout=10 vga = normal # force sane state # End LILO global section # Linux bootable partition config begins image = /vmlinuz root = /dev/sdb1 label = suse_linux # Linux bootable partition config ends # ========================================================================== I successfully execute '/sbin/lilo' after modifying the '/etc/lilo.conf' file, yet during the boot LILO complains with: ========================================================================== You may be trying to booot from an unformatted diskette or hard driver partition Insert a bootable diskette into drive a. Press any key to boot ... ========================================================================== I even tried configuring through Yast, same results. Below is the output of fdisk /dev/sdb with option 'p' pressed: ========================================================================== # fdisk /dev/sdb The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 2048. This is larger than 1024, and may cause problems with: 1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., LILO) 2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK) Command (m for help): p Disk /dev/sdb: 64 heads, 32 sectors, 2048 cylinders Units = cylinders of 2048 * 512 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 * 1 1920 1966064 83 Linux native /dev/sdb2 1921 2048 131072 82 Linux swap ========================================================================== Anybody got a guess as to why LILO won't accept booting off of /dev/sdb ??

[SuSE Linux] SO50, glibc2 2.0.7, SuSE 5.3?
by hattons＠CPKWEBSER5.ncr.disa.mil 10 Nov '98

I would have searched the archives before I posted, but it seems there are none for the last month. Has anybody upgraded their glibc2 to run SO50? I looked at the readme which said it wanted to do nasty things to my /lib/ld-linux.so.2. I don't understand this stuff well enough to tell the SO install script to force the installation. It seems to me the thing to do is to upgrade my glibc2 for the whole OS and not just for SO. What should I do. BTW is it reasonable to wait until SuSE 6.0 is out? Will that fix all of this for me?

If you opt for the laserjet and can spare the extra dollars (as far as I remember the difference in price was not too prohibitive) I would buy the HP Laserjet 6MP, the 'postscript' version. Under Linux, this makes printing wonderfully easy. Linux (Unix) printing is basically postscript oriented. (but both printers are excellent in their sort and function without problems under Linux).

[SuSE Linux] Configuration for a firewall
by a.avidano＠studenti.to.it 06 Nov '98

06 Nov '98

Hi all, I'm trying to configure a firewall for protect my pc from the attacks via internet, specially for nukes and hacking by IRC. The pc is a stand-alone machine with no permanent connession in the Internet and with dynamic IP address assigned by the server. I have configured the system environment under YAST as listed above: FW_START <YES> FW_LOCALNETS <> FW_FTPSERVER, WWWSERVER SSLSERVER..... <> FW_WORLD DEV <PPP0> FW_INT_DEV <PPP0> FW_LOG_ACCEPT <NO> FW_LOG_DENY <YES> FW-ROUTER <> FW_FRIENDS<> FW_INOUT <YES> FW_REDIRECT <> FW_TCP_LOCK_PORTS <1:1023> FW_ UDP_LOCK_PORTS <1:1023> I have also recompiled the kernel including the features specified in the manual. Opening the file /var/log/messages, i have seen the following line: .... Nov 5 22:36:37 LocalHost in.telnetd[297]: connect from ... Nov 5 22:37:09 LocalHost login[298]: invalid password for `root' on `ttyp0' ... So i can see that the firewall do not block the access...so i should have made a mistake in the configuration... When i execute the script firewall winh the parameter "-list" i obtain: IP firewall input rules, default policy: accept IP firewall output rules, default policy: accept IP firewall forward rules, default policy: accept This should means that it is well configured or not? I have also heard that if a firewall is well configured, i should not be able to do a "ping" to other host connected in internet: it's true or false? In this conditions, i'm able to do this: the ping command runs correctly. How should I modify this configuration? How can I test the correct installation about the firewall?

Talking about [SuSE Linux] WvDial, Rpms, and whatnot, George said... > Is WvDial something like pine or elm. I hope to use kmail in the future. Pine and Elm are essentially mail readers, whereas WvDial is a semi-automated configurator and dialer for ppp dialup connections. WvDial probes all your modems and sets an optimum init string to maximize your modem's capabilities. You give it 3 bits of information (username, password and ISP's phone number) and it will handle the dialing/connecting procedures. Not to start another KDE thread but I was using KMail with WvDial until recently. I've now switched from the KDE environment to Window Maker and XCmail for my mail app. I can confirm that KMail works fine with WvDial. I use only WvDial for all my dialup connections (NS for news and browsing, XCmail for mail). > But, from what I read on my KDE thread, it seems kmail has unnacceptable > problems. > I set up KBiff to call KMail which workes fine in or out of KDE. XCmail has a built in mail checker so I don't need a biff app. The drawbacks to KMail are, imo: lack of a spell checker and lack of auto threading articles. Other then that it's simple, straightforward and not too bad of an email app. HTH andy -- Sandy Seeds 100% MS Free! - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

You might do better if you connect and DL from SuSE. Assuming you set your ppp network and ISP parameters (generic) in YaST, you should be able to dial out in an xterm window by typing: /etc/suseppp/scripts/ppp-up generic after you DL WvDial, close the connection with: /etc/suseppp/scripts/ppp-down Then go for the un-zip/tar routine. To be on the safe side I'd delete all existing WvDial files, zipped or otherwise, so that only the one received with SuSE exists to work with.

[SLE] ipchains

Hi, I'm having some troubles with ipchains. I'll try to be short on this one :-) I have got four machines, three mostly windows, one linux server. I am trying to configure ipchains so that i can masq my local network addresses so that i can use my ppp0 link on my server through each pc. works fine, except for the fact that one daemon tries to do nameserver lookups regularly. I have entered some rules in ipchains so that ports 137, 138 and 139 (netbios ports) are not being forwarded. But when i dump the traffic on my ppp0 link using tcpdump, I can see my (dynamic) ip address of my server as the source address, and the nameserver from my provider as the destination of the frames which cause my server to dial-in (un- wanted!). I don't have bind, the only daemons I can imagine doing such nameserver lookups, are nmbd and/or smbd. Can anybody help me out here?

[SuSE Linux] Strangely quiet

I've been listening to this group about 2 weeks now. A few rookies ( I hate that newbies word) such as myself have asked the usual questions and had great responses. I've watched higher level interchanges between some obviously very experienced folk. Something is missing. This is a new release, this 5.3. There seem to be no major problems with it. Am I right? Other than something about sound and a syntax error, I haven't heard of a really difficult problem. We can even talk tomatoes, there's so much room. My hat is off to the SuSE development team. Even THIS Windows pup can install 5.3. The Linux community needs to see what a really great distribution looks like. I can hardly wait to see what happens next.

It's one of those that is mounted in the front of the case. My question is...WHICH way should the airflow be?

But now I am unemployed and I would like to continue my work at home using my newly ##Pentium-Suse## machine which I am so happy with. Because the programs are very large it will be missy to debog and adapt for the g77 or f2c with gcc. Compiling with g77,... give pages and pages of various errors !! and there is not a lot of options that could even shutt the warnings. Questions: 1) Is there another "Free" alternative than g77 or f2c, I can test ? 2) Otherwise, does some know, Where can I find informations about comercial Linux Fortran compiler ? note that I am not looking primarilly for performance=speed Could you help I please ?

[SuSE Linux] IDE ribbon cables
by sphilp＠ameritech.net 11 Sep '98

11 Sep '98

Anyone know a good place to pick up IDE ribbon cables? I've come into a bit of a problem trying to put together an interesting little machine. The motherboard has a header for a 50-pin IDE ribbon cable that connects to a 2.5" (laptop-size) IDE drive. I've searched every large and small computer store in the area without luck, so now it's time to hit the 'net. You can imagine the number of spurious hits I get trying to do a decent Websearch for the item. So, anyone know where to pick up a laptop-size IDE cable? Something around 4-6" will work. (More details on the machine will probably arrive shortly, this is one cute little box) -- Steve Philp sphilp(a)ameritech.net "The Internet is like crack for smart people" --Arsenio Hall - 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] [off topic] On the virtues of a well kept garden
by mlankton＠home.com 11 Sep '98

11 Sep '98

I always devote half of my garden to tomatoes, and this year I planted Celebrity (which I plant every year) and Burpee tomatoes. Celebrities are medium sized and quite similar to the tomatoes that you would find at the store. I started getting tomatoes off these plants in early August. My Burpee plant showed no signs of producing fruit, yet grew to an astonishing 6 feet tall. I thought perhaps I had a sterile plant and all it's energy was being put into going to vine. I just started getting ripe fruits from this plant this week. They are the size of both of your fists held together, nearly seedless, perfect red meat, and exceptionally flavorful. This is the best sandwhich tomato I have ever grown, and from now on I will probably grow them exclusively, but I will plant them early in the future. Just a recommendation for the gardeners on the list :) -- .###. /#######\## -==============================================- ;##### ;# Mike's WindowMaker ;##### ;# <A HREF="http://tasteslikechicken.ml.org/windowmaker.html"><A HREF="http://tasteslikechicken.ml.org/windowmaker.html</A">http://tasteslikechicken.ml.org/windowmaker.html</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] Comms problems
by chajj001＠leicester.gov.uk 11 Sep '98

11 Sep '98

Hi all, I finally solved my comms problem with SuSE Linux - by changing my modem! I previously establish a connection but was not getting any data throughput from the serial device so I never got to a login prompt. Changing from the Us Robotics Sportster 56kbps to my old trusty Reveal 28.8kbps solved the problem. I can now use minicom. Also wvdial works a treat. So what's going on here? Does SuSE not support the world's number one modem? On another note, I can't get ezppp to work for one reason: when the connection is answered you need to send a cr to get a login prompt from the host. Ezppp (unlike wvdial) does not appear to send one automatically. How do I set this up in the script. I have tried 'Send \n' but that doesen't work. Any ideas? Thanks.

[SuSE Linux] Remote Printer setup (printcap)
by jljr＠paonline.com 11 Sep '98

11 Sep '98

I am having trouble getting my printcap files correct, would some kind sole please give me the basic setup for a 300 dpi postscript printer located at 172.22.1.3 with a print queue named psprint? I know, I read the manual, tried putting it in using YaST ( no choice for remote printer) setting it up as a local printer on lpt1, then changing it to 172.22.1.3 but not doing so good... The actual printer is a laserjet III (model 33449A), but I found in RedHat, the only way to get it to print anything other than text was to add a postcript cartridge. The ghostscript selection of lj3 didn't work properly, none of the laserjet filters worked properly ( tried them all). It is a shame, because I prefer using pcl. thanks in advance... joe - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

Classic! I planted 2 Celebrities and 2 Early Girls- one Celebrity succumbed to late blight. I planted late- in early July, but I'm in Santa Clara (a/k/a Silicon) Valley, California with a nice Indian summer, so I should be reaping a harvest in a few weeks. That is, if I can keep those thieving squirrels away, who've already made off with a couple green fruit.

[SuSE Linux] Newbie with Disk Errors???
by phil-99＠geocities.com 10 Sep '98

10 Sep '98

Being new to Linux I had just got my version installed on an 814Mb alongside MSDOS dual booting with LILO. On the first boot, LILO went beautifully, then.... half-way through the boot.... disaster struck! (I gotta make this sound good!!) The message "/dev/hda4 [my /usr partition] contains errors. Check forced." appeared. Then it chuntered away for a while.... until loads of errors started appearing on screen.(stuff like sector not found, sector id not found, ide reset.... can't remember exactly or write it down.. it's scrolled off screen. Now the screen is telling me to RUN FSCK MANUALLY, please repair and reboot. My question? How do I repair? I have a rescue disk but no idea how to use it! (D'OH) (.... I would probably say RTFM but the manuals are installed on the linux system which is not functioning at present!) Anyone forthcoming with wonderful ideas?

[SuSE Linux] Menu wrecked by KDE "unreleased"
by steve＠millsphoto.com 10 Sep '98

10 Sep '98

I installed the unreleased portion of the KDE tools from my 5.3 cd's. The experimental stuff turns out to be mostly games, anyway, so I used YaST to uninstall it all. My K menu is now jumbled almost beyond recognition. One of the buttons is now blank (choices are still there, just no title to that button), and that same button is duplicated further down the tree. I just want to know if there is any way to copy the menu items from another computer (I have two with identical setups) or can I somehow "fix" the menu short of reinstalling? Lesson: heed the warnings. :) Thanks. -- Steve Mills steve(a)millsphoto.com <A HREF="http://www.millsphoto.com"><A HREF="http://www.millsphoto.com</A">http://www.millsphoto.com</A</A>> Great wallpapers live here. - 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] Questions regarding a new system/multi-boot/sound card/etc.
by pepermil＠cybernex.net 10 Sep '98

10 Sep '98

Hello all, First of all a little background info. I learned of Linux about a year ago and have been reading up on it ever since. I have yet to install it on a system, for I learned of it after I just bought & configged my Win95 computer. Now, after only a year, I am looking for another computer (you will soon learn I am one of the biggest addicts for new technology there is). Basically, I only use SCSI devices on my computers. It may just be psychological or something, but I find SCSI to be much more reliable and faster. So, this is my idea for my next system: Processor: Intel Pentium II 400/450 Motherboard: ASUS P2B-LS BX Motherboard with on-board Adaptec AHA-2940U2W (Ultra2 Wide SCSI) & Intel 10/100 Ethernet Card Memory: 128 MB PC100 SDRAM Graphics Card: ?!? (AGP?!?) Hard Drive: Seagate Barracuda 9.1 GB Ultra Wide or Ultra2 Wide SCSI hard drive CD-ROM: Plextor UltraPlex 14X/32X Internal SCSI CD-R/W: Yamaha 2X CD-RW/4X CD-R/6X Read External SCSI Modem: External Motorola 56K ModemSURFR Sound Card: Sound Blaster AWE64 Gold Now that I've told you all of this let me try to explain why I've told you all of this. Basically I was wondering the group's recommendations about this equipment and it's support under S.u.S.E. Linux (preferably using stable kernels), such as the AHA-2940U2W controller card, and the Sound Blaster AWE64 Gold. (I've read with much interest many of the problems with sound in version 5.3 & I've also heard complaints about the Creative Labs cards...basically my reason for the gold is I really like the gold-plated stereo outputs...if someone knows of a high-quality card with this feature other than from Creative Labs, esp. one better supported under Linux, I'm open to ideas). With the graphics card, originally I was considering Diamond Multimedia's FireGL 1000 Pro, then I saw they had a FireGL 4000, and I also saw the new Viper V550 with 16MB RAM, plus the new Velocity V4400 with 16MB RAM also, & the ATI Rage Magnum with _32MB_ RAM! I know most of them come in both AGP and PCI (except maybe the FireGL's...not sure). Personally I would favor the AGP, b/c I wouldn't be wasting a slot on my motherboard, but I'm not sure of support under Linux...any recommendations. Next on my list, I was wondering how possible it would be to multi-boot between these three operating systems: S.u.S.E. Linux 5.3, Windows NT Server 4.0, & _Novell Intranetware 4.11_. I've seen the How-To's for booting between Linux & NT, but I haven't noticed anything mentioning Novell. I'm not even really sure if it's possible to multi-boot with Novell, but I'm just assuming it must be possible somehow. If anyone has any ideas or has a similar situation on their computer, I'd love to know how it can be accomplished. I'd also like to hear some suggestions on how to partition the drive, including the different directories for Linux, and possibly any ideas for NT (separate the O/S & data/apps?!?...put O/S on FAT 16 & data on NTFS or vice versa?!?) As you can probably see from the operating systems I'm most likely going to be using this new computer as a server & play-toy (server...play-toy...what's the difference!?! ;)) I'm planning to connect a Pentium 200 MMX & my mom's Pentium 90, both running Win95 to it, and possibly to all three different server O/S' (at different times of course). I'd most likely use a small 4-node hub & 100 Mb/s Categoryy 5 Ethernet cable. So, if anyone has any good suggestions, I'd really love to hear them. Sorry for such a long rant (which I realize is a little disorganized, too), but I'm really happy to finally, hopefully joining the ranks of the Linux community. And about the questions on other O/S' I know it may be a little off-topic, but I figured Linux users had to be the smartest computer users out there & that they most likely had the most diversified experience & in-depth knowledge of all types of computers & O/S'. Well, thanks for your time & I'd just like say hi to everybody again. -- Bye for now, Dave C. pepermil(a)pop.cybernex.net <A HREF="http://www2.cybernex.net/~pepermil/"><A HREF="http://www2.cybernex.net/~pepermil/</A">http://www2.cybernex.net/~pepermil/</A</A>> P.S. If anyone has any suggestions on where to buy these parts for my computer off the Internet at a good/great price from a reliable company with good warranty could you please send me some URL's?

[SuSE Linux] Rebuilding kernel modules

I want to upgrade the kernel driver module used for my nic, but I am not quite sure how to do it correctly. I know I can do a ' make modules ' and then' make modules_install ', but what I do not know is how this will effect my current build (all documentation that I have found is very skimpy on the subject). Doing a ' make modules ' will probably complie all the sources in the drivers directory, but will the ' make modules_install ' try to install them as well? Will I have to reinstall LiLo after? Basically what I would like to know is the best way to update this one kernel module. As always, thanks to all that respond. _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

Has anyone got linux to work as a ppp server for win NT 4.0 and/or win 98. I've been beating my head against a wall on this one. PPP dials out OK and I can get the win box to login using mgetty and PAP but I can't pass packets. Who on Linux tells me I'm logged in and on the correct ttyS0 --win 98 says connected via PAP and tcp up-- BUT, NO ping or tcpip??

[SuSE Linux] DIALD
by kc8chq＠juno.com 10 Sep '98

10 Sep '98

Well I received 5.3 FedEx yesterday. After some of the comments I was unsure whether I wanted to upgrade(in fact I had not requested to be on a subscription). The upgrade went fairly easily though my sound does not work(I'll have to go back and look at some posts concerning that, which encouraged me it may be easier than in 5.2 BTW what is the difference between the OSS and the OSS demo?) To my main point: I had never fully configured diald(I think it may be of little use as my internet access is through a freenet that does not support PPP), but after upgrading to 5.3 Linux dials my modem almost before boot up has completed. I'd read the manual, but I'm not certain what I'm looking for. Any suggestions? Thanks! Best regards, Bob Russell kc8chq(a)juno.com Penguin inside!

[SuSE Linux] Save Configuration bug in 5.3
by daniel＠netcom.com 10 Sep '98

10 Sep '98

I'm using SuSE 5.2 on 5 ALR Revolution 6x6 servers (each with 4 Pentium Pros, 512MB RAM,4x4.3GB HDs). It's important that all 5 be identical. In 5.2 I configured the 1st install by hand and saved the result to a floppy. YaST asked for the floppy before showing me the different load configurations, and asked if I wanted to save my config file to hard disk or floppy. I used the floppy to load the config file into each of the other 4 systems, and YaST installed exactly the same stuff on each one. On 5.3, YaST will occasionally recognize the config floppy IF it already has a config file saved on it. It NEVER asks whether I want to use a floppy to save a config file, and always writes my custom config file to the hard disk, which is useless. I think this is really the biggest bug in 5.3 (so far). The hard disk partitioning problem is bad, but this is worse if you have more than 1 system to maintain. - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

Using the K desktop. After my SuSE has been up and running for a while on this Micron 166 (32mb ram) I get bogged down with memory usage. The HDD light remains on and the mouse gets choppy. I looked in with Xosview and can see my CPU running at 100teadily. A glance with top and I see something called "find" claiming 930f my CPU usage, so I kill it. Then "mandb" runs up to 78%. Kill that. Now things are good again. What was happening? I have only used Terminal, KMail and Netscape this morning on a fresh boot. I have a screensaver active, is that it? I just can't see the CPU remaining under a load after the screensaver stops. -- Steve Mills steve(a)millsphoto.com <A HREF="http://www.millsphoto.com"><A HREF="http://www.millsphoto.com</A">http://www.millsphoto.com</A</A>> Great wallpapers live here. - 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 don't know if this holds as a general rule, but here's what i did when I needed a new driver for my NIC. I downloaded tulip.c. At the end of the source file is the compile command. It looks like gcc -Wall -Blah -Blah -IBlah ..... tulip.c I cut and pasted that onto the command line and after it compiled, got a tulip.o which I tested by saying insmod /path/to/wherever/tulip.o which loads the module. It worked, so I moved tulip.o to /lib/modules/blahblah/net or something and it has worked ever since. You may also need to uncomment a line in conf.modules.

[SuSE Linux] PCMCIA troubles

Sorry about reposting this, but I was zombified when I previously posted it with the wrong subject title. Hi all, I have a IBM 755CX thinkpad with PCMCIA slots, and using Suse 5.2 they don't work. I've tried cardmgr and have looked in '/proc/devices' (nothing there) and lsmod shows nothing either. With RH 5.1, it just came up working. So I know they *should* work. I d'led the latest PCMCIA driver and installed it, but it's still not working. In fact, cardmgr doesn't give out any messages whatsoever and as far as I can tell, doesn't do anything. The how-to and the man page (other than the need to install the latest-n-greatest driver) didn't really point me anywhere. Can anybody help?

[SuSE Linux] system hangs
by qgl176＠yahoo.com 09 Sep '98

09 Sep '98

I do not even know where to begin with this so I will just explain what happens. I am using kernel 2.0.33 ( SuSE v5.2). I installed dosemu that came with the distribution and it works, but after the system has been sitting idle for a while it will hang when I try to run it. No problem I will just go to another virtual console and kill it. Well the process will not die, even with the ' -9 ' siginal. Is there a way to kill these types of rouge processes? Ok so now I will just do a ' shutdown -r now'. Now after all the sigterms have been sent and the filesystems are getting ready to unmount the system hangs. This is not new to me and it does not have anything to do with dosemu, (if any one has any suggestions to why dosemu doesnt load and hangs a tty, pleas feel free to comment), infact I think it has something to do with sync. I have run sync manually and it hangs a tty and I can not kill it. The only way to recover is to power off and then on. I know clarification is probably needed, but any ideas? _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

[SuSE Linux] [ISDN] How to add to Hisax / Dynalink support
by i000372＠nl.cis.philips.com 09 Sep '98

09 Sep '98

Hi, I moved from Redhat to the new SuSE, mainly because I hoped that the ISDN support was completely up-to-date. First of all, in general : Good Job! SuSE appeared to be a pretty decent dist. (And what application is 1000erfect, right?) First of all, as described for SuSE 5.1, there is a hisax.o and a hisax.2.5.o in de /var/modules/etc. Does this mean that still the 'standard' version is 2.1, and one has to rename 2.5.o to get the 2.5 support? I figured 2.5 hsould have been stable enuff by now? I'm trying to get a Dynalink IS64PH+ ISDN card to function inder 5.3. Unfortunatly it is not standard supported by 5.3. What do I have to do, to get it functioning under 5.3? If I get just the simple steps explained would already be a big help. I'm a bit reluctant to make a whole new kernel just for this, Hisax is a module after all and I thought that that means that you don't need to do that? The driver information for this Dynalink IS available at <A HREF="http://www.2l.net/dynalink/linux/"><A HREF="http://www.2l.net/dynalink/linux/</A">http://www.2l.net/dynalink/linux/</A</A>> there is a file <A HREF="http://www.2l.net/dynalink/linux/hisax.tar.gz"><A HREF="http://www.2l.net/dynalink/linux/hisax.tar.gz</A">http://www.2l.net/dynalink/linux/hisax.tar.gz</A</A>> that contains the sources for the hisax/isdn cards (similar to /usr/src/linux/modules/etc), including the .c and .h for the dynalink. You can't just replace this directory, with these files and do something like a 'make modules' right? Would it be to simple, to just replace one of the other card's source files, by the dynalink ones and rebuild hisax, and then start using the dynalink under the name of the other one? What if the hisax gets a new card added to it, do I: - change the Hisax source? - make modules? (/usr/src/linyx/modules/etc assume to have the needed .c and .h) - rebuild Hisax? - change the kernel? - rebuild the kernel? If I (by building it myself or getting it) have a Hisax module (.o) for my Dynalink, can it be interchanged with other SuSE 5.3 systems to have instant support without any rebuilding hassle? Can it be interchanged with RedHat 5.1 and others...? How does one make a as module? I have seen here and there that soemthing can be compiled as a module, but nowhere exactly HOW... If I would patch/build the kernel to 2.0.36 (which as I have been told has more ISDN support), would that mean that my kernel is no longer usable as SuSE kernel? This thing has got me busy, already for quite some time. And I still do not want to swap my Teles card from my other machine, with this one... and I know it must be possible somehow.. I just got back into the Linux game after a few years of denial; have to catch up a lot, like for the modules thing. I'm not a newbie in Unix though...

[SuSE Linux] Netscape is unique
by steve＠millsphoto.com 09 Sep '98

09 Sep '98

I am not trying to advertise (I sell nothing on my website, anyway) but I need some input from normal Netscape users. Maybe this concerns Linux itself, but I don't think that's the cause. I have always built my webpages with MS Front Page. I checked the pages with IE and occasionally with NS to be sure visitors would get equal or at least similar views. I have been perusing my site with NS today and one page is just plain wierd. My wallpaper page, perhaps because there are so many images but I don't think so, doesn't line up along the left side of the page like I built it to. That is an issue I can address more closely and I'm sure I can get it to be right. It still looks right for MSIE4. What really looks wierd is the fonts. I have no idea what NS is trying to present, but it's not the fonts selected. Even KFM shows the pages with the right fonts. In particular, I have tried to use Maiandra GD and Verdana. If they are there in NS, they are almost too small to read. My monitor is set to 1024 x768, btw. I've seen a lot of threads in here about NS fonts and how to change their sizes. Does this also have something to do with bitstreaming fonts? My NS is pretty much out-of-the-box in it's setup. Day 2 of the web with Linux. I like it. :) -- Steve Mills steve(a)millsphoto.com <A HREF="http://www.millsphoto.com"><A HREF="http://www.millsphoto.com</A">http://www.millsphoto.com</A</A>> Great Wallpapers Live Here. - 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] Linksys PCI cards and the ne2k-pci driver problem
by nick.bowling＠dial.pipex.com 09 Sep '98

09 Sep '98

Hello, After a lot of effort I have finally got my Linksys PCI Ethercard installed. Unfortunately... two more problems now occur. 1. Pinging a Win98 box with it's IP number gets a "network unreachable..." 2. TKDesk in X now locks up the computer so bad I have to do a hard reset! Does anyone have any idea as to what I am doing wrong. During boot up the kernal recognises the card identifies the correct io and irq and loads the driver. The conf.modules file is correctly set as is the rc.xxxx files. Is the TK lock up problem related to the desk manager trying to access the LAN?

[SuSE Linux] Ack! Connectivity degradation

Hello from my Minicom connection... I am having major problems with my PPP stuff, and I can't figure out what has caused it. The first signs showed up a couple of days ago when I was fetching some mail off of my ISP server. All of a sudden, the transfer essentially stopped. Thinking I had gotten a bad connection, I (using wvdial .41) reconnected. Now, nothing would work. No telnet, no W3, no POP3, No IMAP, nothing. In a panic, I fell back on Kppp. It worked for telnet and W3, but the mail transfer was abysmally slow. So, I thought I'd try to modify named.boot to see if that would make a difference. Nope. I re-commented what I had modified and went to class. Upon returning, I discovered that I could not connect at all! My pppd kept dying. Puzzled, I manually tried launching pppd. It returned that I did not have Kernel support for PPP. I am at a loss, really. Does anyone have any ideas? I seriosly have not touched a thing besides named.boot, which I quickly reset to normal. I am running SuSE 5.2 with the 2.0.33 kernel. I have tried both kppp and wvdial, both of which worked perfectly before. Thanks in advance!

[SuSE Linux] TKDesk and ne2k-pci.o problem
by nick.bowling＠dial.pipex.com 09 Sep '98

Hello, Further to my earlier postings, I have now got my network up and running, well at least able to ping each other. However TKDesk still locks up the whole computer when the network is enabled. /sbin/init.d/network stop allows TKDesk to run fine. Is this a known issue or is it unique to this driver, Hardware Linksys Etherlan PCI II at io=0xfce0 irq=9 driver = ne2k-pci.o SuSE Linux 5.2 I would relly appreciate advice on this as I do like TKDesk.
