Hmm, can I use a resolution of 1520x1140 with AccelX or MetroX? With this resolution I get a refresh rate of 79 Hz on a 17" monitor. Last time I checked the commercial X servers allowed me to choose between 1280x1024 (which is unusable as it doesn't have the 4:3 ratio) or 1600x1200 (which I cannot use because the refresh rate is too poor).

Until now I was unable to see a pattern in which circumstances it works and in which it doesn't. The only way that has worked for _everybody_ so far is using loadlin.exe from DOS. The workaround I'm working on is to have a FreeDos kernel with enough functionality to allow running loadlin.exe (see my previous mail). > If your CDROM is also an EIDE one, I would recommend using this > installation method.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] Test Bootdisk for IBM thinkpad available

Hi, On Thu, 2 Jul 1998, Edgar F. Hilton wrote: > Has anybody succeeded in getting SUSE5.2 to work with their Thinpad? Yes, some people have reported success. But many have reported the problem you have. The problem still is not solved. There are people that are able to install using a Debian kernel, some can use a RedHat kernel and others are able to use the S.u.S.E. kernel. I think all distributions make use of the so-called "Tecra"-Patch which solves the problem on some machines. The problem is in the A20 handling and cache coherency of these notebooks. It seems to be dependend on the size of the kernel, timing and many other things. There is currently no bootdisk that can reliably boot on every machine. One thing we could observe is the fact that all affected machines are able to boot using loadlin. Loadlin does the loading in another way (besides other things loadlin loads the kernel first and the initdisk.gz as second, so chances are really good the caches have been flushed). Of course we are not allowed to distribute a disk containing MS code. For this reason I created a new bootdisk that contains a FreeDos kernel that is capable of running loadlin.exe. I've just put a so-prepared bootdisk at ftp.suse.com:/pub/suse_update/suse52/disks/thinkpad. Please give the mirror some hours until it will be there. Then, please download this image and write it to a floppy (either under DOS using rawrite.exe or using "dd" under Linux) and try if the notebook boots from that disk. Please note that the booting is very slow, but I have feedback that it works on a thinkpad that would not boot with any other floppy (neither S.u.S.E. nor Debian nor RedHat).

Hi, I could compile Gnome 0.20 on SuSE5.2. More precisely, there are a few programs I was not able to compile. But most of the programs work. Although, I could compile mico too, I used a precompiled rpm for libc5 I found on the discussion list because it takes ages to compile it. You may need to recompile some programs and libaries which shiped with SuSE. However, as far as I remember I had only to recompile guile-1.2 because the gnome-guile package did not work otherwise (and of course also gtk). Some programs crash by time to time, but the panel works just fine. Akos - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

When Matrox sell a card for an NT system, they aren't making money off the drivers they're making it off the hardware. This would also apply Linux (maybe even better since fewer companies actively support their hardware for Linux). Wouldn't you be inclined to purchase a video card that said something to the effect of 100% Linux Compatible on the box. With millions of people using Linux and more buying distributions everyday, I don't think thatthe cost of programming a driver for Linux would outweigh the potential gains made by selling more product. >On Thu, 2 Jul 1998, Steven T.

The key error message was (--) SVGA: PCI: Unknown vendor (0x110b) Unknown chipset (0x0004) rev 65, Memory @ 0xf0000000 (--) SVGA: chipset: generic The system would never recognize the Velocity STB 128 card. The XFree86 FAQ suggest that there are IRQ conflicts for the RIVA chipset based AGP cards. I changed the Sound and Ethernet cards to different slots and the problem still persisted. Some people claim that it worked for them, by switching other cards to different slots OR by setting IRQs in the PCI BIOS. If you are going to use a AGP card, use anything other than STB Velocity. The support is not good for it yet. Looks like, Matrox AGP card has good X support. I decided to wait till better X support for AGP is implemented. Until then, I am back with the "Good Old ISA Mach32" ;-) Hope this helps.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] Thinkpad and SUSE5.2 woes
by efhilton＠virginia.edu 02 Jul '98

02 Jul '98

Hi! Has anybody had success booting a Thinkpad (365x, primarily) with their SUSE 5.2 floppies? I have had lots of success installing and configuring SUSE5..2 in several desktops, but none yet with my thinkpad. The actual problem is as follows: I create the boot floppies (eide01, 2, or 3) using rawrite.exe or dd. I place these floppies into the floppy drive and start up the machine. Within a few seconds, I get the "Welcome to SUSE" splash screen. This is followed by the boot prompt. Within a couple of seconds, the boot process begins. Then, the computer hangs entirely on the second line after the boot: prompt. It so happens that the same problem occurs with Debian 1.3.1. I have had to install RedHat 4.2, which is the only Linux distribution that will load up. This leads me to the following question: am I missing something here? Why would my thinkpad work well with RH4.2 (including Xwindows!) but not the others? I really would like to get SUSE5.2 working on this machine. Any suggestions would be greatily appreciated.

Good mail readers (MUAs, Mail User Agents) do allow you to choose your favourite editor(s). You are not bound to just the one who is 'bundled' with it, so you may use emacs or pico, joe or vi or whatever you happen to like and use all the time. Now, most MUAs check for a correct line length (unless configured not to do so), and *will* tell you that you might want to shorten your lines. Elm is quite decent and reminds you. To answer your question: most editors do have word wrapping. And people with lines > 80 Chars are either posting source code (or such stuff), or are lazy (or are using a bad/misconfigured MUA). -Wolfgang -- PGP 2 welcome: Mail me, subject "send PGP-key".

I am running SuSE 5.2 with whatever version of XF86 that comes with it. The Xserver I am using is XSuSE_Elsa_GLoria. Another problem of minor note is that xvidtune will not run. It will show the refresh rates, but will go no further. Any suggestions on how to fix these problems would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, Depending when you want them to run will determin where you launch them from. If it is for the user, just put the call to them in the .profile fro that user. Otherwise put them in one of the system files that would be appropriate. -ted Joseph Beaman wrote: > Hello all, > > I have written a few scripts that I would like to run when I boot the > machine.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] X servers and Fonts
by arunkhan＠xnet.com 01 Jul '98

01 Jul '98

Comparing Netscape 4.05 display in Win95/NT and SuSE Linux 5.x I notice that Font sizes appear to be smaller (e.g. The main page of www.pricewatch.com is hardly legible under X) even though I change the settings to 14.0 or 16.0 under Fonts in preferences. I am using 1280x1024 (16bpp) for both Win95 and X and the latest X servers for the Diamond Viper 330 and S3 Virge. The results are similar. Is there any way to set Fonts for the general X environment and also are there any more fonts to go with X besides those installed by SuSE? Any help with this is appreciated.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] PPP Config through YAST
by subb3＠ibm.net 30 Jun '98

30 Jun '98

I am using YAST to configure the Network and PPP. In PPP, I fill out all the information about the connectivity, ISP, nameservers.....and on. After I exit YAST, when I look at /etc/ppp and /etc/suseppp, my userid/password is in /etc/suseppp. Assuming this will work, I tried /etc/suseppp/ppp-up, and it did not work. I even tried to use /etc/ppp/ip-up. I have some of my old working Slackware /etc/ppp scripts. If I copy them over, will it disturb the integrity of the configuration file i.e. rc.config. I am new to SuSE. The manual only talks about YAST configuration. Any pointers appreciated. Thank you.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] Boot Disk don't!
by pmoon＠mindspring.com 30 Jun '98

Hi people, I first want to say thanks for all the good information that comes out in this list. I replaced the linux source package (de-installed, reinstalled) with the lx-suse source package and reconfigured / recompiled my kernel to support an AWE 64 card. Post this, I managed to frag my boot floppy and since then, have not been able to create a boot floppy that will get me into my root system successfully. I have been getting in with the S.u.S.E. install disk and CD... I was always successful in the past week with a boot floppy created by YAST / sys admin / create boot disk ... However now with a disk created in the same way, I get into the boot start load of my root file system on /dev/sdb1 and all hardware is recognized and config'd as normal, then right after the nic is recognized I hang at: VFS mounted extfs2 ect. ect. ect. (or something like this) And that is all she wrote! I have to go back in with the install disk again.. I saw someone mentioned removing LINEAR from the LILO.CONF file with regard to another boot problem posted here. I will try that next when I leave here... Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.. Perry Moon Tampa, Florida - 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 think you need to use the SCO Unix Oracle binaries, and then you also need to get a couple shared libraries from SCO Unix also in order to make it work. But have heard a few people have gotten it to work. -----Original Message----- From: Joseph Beaman [SMTP:beamanj@novaquest.com] Sent: Tuesday, June 30, 1998 5:07 AM To: suse-linux-e(a)suse.com Subject: [S.u.S.E.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] [S.u.S.E Linux] Problems in telneting from win95 client.
by micheleamerica＠geocities.com 30 Jun '98

30 Jun '98

Hi, I have a 2 computer intranet :-) at home. One of them runs only linux and is configured as a server of httpd, ftp, news, dns, mars, samba, etc. The other runs both linux and window$. When i boot linux in the client machine all works ok. All shared stuff is shared, i can telnet, ftp, lynx, etc. into it. When i boot window$, i can not do anything. The exact simptom in telnet is that the login goes ok and i get the prompt from bash. When i do an ls in an empty directory it goes ok. If i try do ls the / directory i stop getting echo. If i Ctrl-D the keystroke gets to the server and kills the connection but i cannot see anything on the terminal window. With ftp i get the first two lines of the server welcome message and then it stops. With dns all works ok. I think that if there is very little data to cross the network all is ok. If the ammount of data goes over some quantity, which i don't know, the server stops sending data to the client. Can anyone help me in figuring out what is going on ? Remember that all works ok with linux.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] Anyone with stable X windows using STB Velocity 128 AGP version?
by arunkhan＠xnet.com 29 Jun '98

29 Jun '98

I am using the latest XFree86 XSVGA server that includes support for the Nvidia Riva128 chip used in the Velocity 128, Viper V330, and ASUS 3D Explorer video cards. One of my machines has a Velocity 128 AGP version and I am having difficulty getting a stable display. Using xf86config from SuSE, I have generated a XF86Config file. X starts up w/o any errors. However, the display is jittery e.g. the vertical lines of the window panes display a jerky motion in the horizontal plane. I have read thru the README file for the chipset and tried all the tricks mentioned there and even run it in un-accel mode. The problem does not go away. However, the display is fine under Win95:( Thus, I cannot blame it as a hardware problem. On another machine, I have a Viper V330 PCI version. X works great on that machine. Has anybody else experienced this problem with Velocity 128 or it's equivalent (see above) AGP version? If so, were you able to solve it and how?

Well, I registered a domain, so stop by if you're interested in what I'm going to do with the site. Eventually there will be current news, windowmaker content, and linux related content. Part of the site is up, MOST parts are under construction, and I'm sure I will be refining the whole thing as I go. My html experience dates back to Saturday at 3pm, so don't bother criticising my html skills, I know they suck. I'm doing everything in netscape for the time being. Anyway, I guess this will be a pretty much permanent thing. I have a dedicated connection and unless I boot to win95 to play Unreal, or decide to shutdown to give my pc the odd night off the site will be there 24/7. This has been enjoyable for me to set up Apache and design some content, I think the next step will be to hit Barnes and Noble and see if I can find a good book on designing web content.

In theory, you're absolutely right. But your conclusion applies not only to installs but to the maintenance of the OS and apps as well. After all, most "mortal" users buy a box with Win95/98 preinstalled and preconfigured. They never touch the OS again. Their efforts to add a new printer or a new modem, etc. often end in utter disaster (been there, done that I'm ashamed to admit). If they're lucky, they have a techie friend (someone who has already been through an install) who can bail them out, or they turn to Usenet or (more likely) AOL. OK, you reply, Linux is the same situation. Well, not exactly. The user base isn't comparable, so I'm not likely to be able to turn to the techie next door. Leaves me with Usenet or this group--smart and helpful people, yes, but not many of you. Installs of new apps (YaST aside) aren't of the "click install" flavor; never mind compiling and installing. So, I suggest that Bill G's success is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Linux will never, ever reach the point of offering the point-and-click convenience that ordinary users (pop, mom, _and_ the folks at the office) need and demand. If Linux ever does achieve such a thing, I wonder how the current hard core Linux folks will feel about that?

[S.u.S.E. Linux] How to install server

Hi, As a newbie to Linux I thought it best to choose the lowest common denominator video set-up when first installing SuSE. Now I would like to change the setting to SVGA. In XF86Config I choose the card to [the actual installed] Cirrus Logic 54xx and get a message telling me to abort and install the SVGA server as /usr/X11R6/bin/SVGA. I have searched all over yast in adj to install, choose install pkg, and sys admin and can find no option to install another server [what I guess must be a video driver.] Help in yast or XF86Config didn't seem to offer a hint. Any thoughts would sure be appreciated. I remain - clueless, Dave - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

Coming from a background in sales/marketing (no, not software), the "value added" concept is uppermost im my mind, especially because it is the added value that justifies whatever "premium" is charged for a product or service.

As for _general_ consumption, though, I don't think Linux (SuSE's or anyone else's) has a prayer vs MS.

Attention windowmaker users. The app, Qps, which ships with 5.2 (it's a QT top essentially), runs a load meter IN the minimized app icon! While it uses a lot more cpu than top, the hell with it, that is too damn cool. For an example see the screenshot of my current desktop at: <A HREF="http://cx119396-a.blvue1.ne.home.com"><A HREF="http://cx119396-a.blvue1.ne.home.com</A">http://cx119396-a.blvue1.ne.home.com</A</A>> Don't dis me for the web site, I have no experience doing html, this one is just a test so that I get comfy with the tools before I make one I can be proud of. ps man, what could be easier than setting up Apache? too cool. next I try wuftpd - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

[S.u.S.E. Linux] S.u.S.E. 5.3 --> dmsdos!
by martin_moeller＠technologist.com 28 Jun '98

28 Jun '98

Hello, folks! I have just yesterday installed the dmsdos package that allows you to mount DoubleSpace (1/2), DriveSpace (3) and Stacker (3/4) partitions in Linux and after finally having read the right documentation fist (and consequently reinstalled the kernel half a dozen times ;)) it works beutifully, so I would like to see it integrated into S.u.S.E. Linux 5.3 for easier co-exsistance with Win95/98 and other Compressed DOS volumes. It can be found here: <A HREF="ftp://fb9nt.uni-duisburg.de/pub/linux/dmsdos"><A HREF="ftp://fb9nt.uni-duisburg.de/pub/linux/dmsdos</A">ftp://fb9nt.uni-duisburg.de/pub/linux/dmsdos</A</A>> And it would be great if it could come as a precompiled module and applied patch to the kernel. It's not much that needs to be done, and I guess RPM could take care of the patching? Then, an easy setup interface in YaST, and of couse filesystem loopback support on as default would pretty much do it!

I installed the ApplixWare demo that came with SuSE 5.2 I installed the apxengdm package ("ApplixWare Office 4.3 Demo (English)") with YaST. So, where's the executable? I can't find an ELF binary anywhere in this install. Should I have installed the axdemo package instead?

Hello suse users, I am a current redhat 5.0 user and have been debating changing over to suse I have been using linux since the days of the 1.2 kernel. I started with slackware and switched to RH5.0 last December. I have been mostly happy with RH5.0 and considered upgrading to RH5.1, but the rh list has been filled with woes of upgrading. I have heard good things about suse. that is why I joined this list. I wanted to get a feel for the number and kinds of problems suse users are encountering. I am trying to pick the best distribution for my home, but also for work. we are considering changing our internet server from sco to linux. any former rh 5.0 users out there? what are your opinions of suse? any opinions are welcome. thanks. ___________________ Jt - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

Hi There, I Had nothing but troubles from Redhat 5.1 even when I got RedHat 5.0 to work I had one problem or another pop up ever few days with configuration. I have used SlackWare, RH, adn Debian. S.u.S.e blew my mind, after hearing it mentioned around the place I decided to grab a copy and I have to say, IT BLEW ME AWAY. Not only was it easier to install (in my opinion) than RH but it did not sacrifice performance or features. It retains the usability for newer user with the use of RH with the RPM format but still packs the same punch of more powerful distributions such as Debian and Slakware which are leaner and meaner than RH. Mind you, I dont dis-lick RH, infact they are giving Linux a good name to the general public and I know more and more friends and collegues are talking about going to linux but in all honesty S.u.S.e has just soo many advantages and I feel that its installation is easier and more powerful that the RH pachages.

Hello, all. New to Linux, and I think it's first-rate (came from Solaris 2.5.1). I have noticed that if I get a few processes running, however, my mouse cursor will pause sporadically, though briefly. Like, if I move the mouse in a steady circular pattern, the cursor will freeze (just for half a sec) every few times 'round, usually during a disc access or something. I've tried renicing processes to no avail (especially the java culprit). This is a PS/2 mouse on an IBM machine. Is there anything I can do? Would the same thing happen with a serial mouse? It makes the whole interface experience seem jerky.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] ps -ef on 5.2 setenv PS_PERSONALITY POSIX {:-(
by hattons＠cpkwebser5.ncr.disa.mil 25 Jun '98

25 Jun '98

All, When I was running 5.1, I found a way to get ps to display the process information using the SVR4 format. I find this format easier to use. As I remember, all I had to do was setenv PS_PERSONALITY POSIX. In 5.2 that feature seems to be missing. I see that top will display the type of format I like. Top has its own drawbacks. I would like to be able to use ps in a way similar to the way Solaris implements it. Can anybody explain why this feature is not working for me? Is there a way to get it to work? TIA, Steve -- <A HREF="http://counter.li.org/"><IMG SRC="cid:part1.3591B921.F557BAE7@cpkwebser5.ncr.disa.mil" HEIGHT=110 WIDTH=190></A> Yo Bill! Doo-bee, doo-bee, doo.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] g77 and egcs
by sina＠Glue.umd.edu 24 Jun '98

24 Jun '98

Hi all, I have suse 5.2 which comes with g77 version 0.5.19 and gcc 2.7.2.1. The simulation package I need to link my fortran code require 0.5.21 which is part of newer version of gcc. But when I try to upgrade my gcc to 2.7.2.3, I see that there are many dependencies. I am wondering if anyone here running suse 5.2 has successfully upgraded their g77/gcc to either 2.7.2.3 or to egcs. Which one is recommanded? Which one has more f90 extensions? Can gcc and egcs coexist? Thanks, Ramin Sina - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

Since my install of SuSE 5.1 - when I go to send a file to lpr - the printer just gives a reset - no other signs of life. There is only one printer on the system, it's on the paralell port and it works fine when I restart into DOS or Windows. The books and HOW TOs that I found say to edit the dot file .profile by the command export PRINTER=xx My problem is where to find a list that gives me the xx for a given printer model. All I could find was postscript=ps Failing a list, any of you know what to call a 24 pin Panasonic? Or is there an easier way to reconfigure this?

I am also a bit confused as to which version is available through S.u.S.E. On the web site, it shows only Motif 2.0.1 but on the Spring catalog, it shows Motif 2.1. Thank you very much. Regards, C.

It depends. Some ISP's will, and some won't. What you can do is leave your computer on. In Europe that is generally not a good idea. Also, you can try keeping track of the IP-adresses you ISP assign to you. If you get the same IP-adress every time, you could try using this adress for httpd/ftpd.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] PPPD Deamon
by pmoon＠mindspring.com 24 Jun '98

24 Jun '98

Any help would be a appreciated. I am trying to get my ppp connection to the net working under S.u.S.E. 5.2 fresh install. I have X up and running and am using the KDE window manager. I was trying to config my dial up using an applet called KDPPP I think is the name, nice config panel. Anyway, all seems to function correctly to the point of connection and login script execution. The Login id goes in and then the prompt for Password and it is sent. And at this point (when the ppp handshake starts) I get a message on the debug console that says PPD Deamon died unexpectedly and that is the end of the connection attempt. The connection drops 30 seconds later or so later. Any ideas or things to look at would be greatly appreciated. Perry K.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] 3COM 3c905B

Greeetings from CT, USA. I am attempting to configure a new server; Pentium II 266 w/ 64 MB RAM, adaptec SCSI and 3COM 3c905BTX (Cyclone) NIC. Everything is working fine *except* the network interface card. The driver appears to load properly; ie. reports all the NIC info such as irq, i/o base, MAC address, etc. but the card appears to be "dead". Activity light won't flash and pings don't seem to make it onto the wire. An "arp -a" shows no entries. I've used the 3COM setup disk to run most of the card diagnostics and they all pass. I've also tried disabling full/half duplex auto-detect. There are no options set in /etc/conf.modules for this particular card. Any ideas ??? Thanks in advance, Reiney / B.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] boot affected
by nelsen＠telusplanet.net 22 Jun '98

22 Jun '98

Hi, Newbie here. Last week I used YaST to install SuSE 5.2. Had it put LILO in /dev/hdc1 [not MBR] and am calling that with System Commander in the MBR of /dev/hda. That worked great. Then when it was evident that the XF86 binary had not been installed, I used YaST to install that X package only. Now the X-Windows works but when System Commander calls LILO, I see: lilo.......... and it just sits there. So I'm now getting into 5.2 via a boot to the CD. This works of course, but I would love to fix the LILO and learn from the problem. A look at the LILO config file showed no reference to startx & the real operative line seemed to be simply: image = /vmlinuz Any thoughts?

[S.u.S.E. Linux] OSS drivers.

I download the OSS driver package from OSS...twice. I chose the 2.0X "flavor" as I assumed it would work with SuSE 5.2. NO listing is given for SuSE...why is beyond me. Anyway, the *.gz file will NOT unzip. It's frustrating enough to have a new "box" with a AWE-64 in and not get any sound. It's much worse to be trying to understand Linux and work with a lame file all at the same time. Does anyone have this file uncorrupted, that they wouldn't mind file attaching?

Please report this bug by running the send-pr script included with XEmacs, or selecting `Send Bug Report' from the help menu. As a last resort send ordinary email to `crashes(a)xemacs.org'. *MAKE SURE* to include as much configuration information as possible; at the very least what OS and hardware you are running on, and hopefully also what compiler and compiler options the binary was compiled with, what options XEmacs was compiled with, whether you are using a prebuilt binary from ftp.xemacs.org or compiled XEmacs yourself for your system, etc. If at all possible, *please* try to obtain a C stack backtrace; it will help us immensely in determining what went wrong. To do this, locate the core file that was produced as a result of this crash (it's usually called `core' and is located in the directory in which you started XEmacs, or maybe in your home directory), and type gdb /usr/X11R6/bin/xemacs core then type `where' when the debugger prompt comes up.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] X Download Dialog Box Stinks.
by hattons＠CPKWEBSER5.ncr.disa.mil 20 Jun '98

20 Jun '98

I have been using Unix on and off for years. There is one feature that seems to really stink. I don't like the dialog box for file manipulation. There are a few features in the M$ GUI that seem superior to those in Unix. In Unix there is no way to create a directory by right-clicking like you can in 95/NT. I have found that StarOffice does have this right-click feature, so I know that it can be done in Unix. Another feature I don't like about the standard file manipulation dialog box is the fact that if I choose an alternative directory to the one the dialog box defaults to, the file name is lost. Since the dialog box that I am referring to seems to exist on every Unix GUI that I have worked with, I assume it is something basic to the way X works. I am certainly not an expert on X-Windows architecture. Is it possible to build an alternative to the standard way Unix file manipulation boxes work?

Ahhh I get an errno 11 from gcc when I try to compile my kernel. It's fairly random when it happens. It doesn't always happen at the same point in compilation. This happened when I was running caldera lite on the machine also. It also happens when I try to recompile other packages such as gcc or pretty much anything that isn't very small. It may have something to do with the amount of memory free on the laptop. I have 48MB but when I compile and have X running the compilation seems to die sooner. I'll try and get some more info.

Also, I don't hold much help, but if someone has gotten a HP printer that is labeled "For Windows" and made it work in linux, I would really appreciate it if they would tell me how or give me some pointers. -- Aaron Seelye <A HREF="http://revolution.3-cities.com/~roberto"><A HREF="http://revolution.3-cities.com/~roberto</A">http://revolution.3-cities.com/~roberto</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

[S.u.S.E. Linux] Linux User Statistics
by hattons＠cpkwebser5.ncr.disa.mil 20 Jun '98

20 Jun '98

I have found that many computer professionals tend to use Linux at home. Most of the people I have spoken with at Netscape tech support use Linux. I have also learned that the folks at Godard Spaceflight like Linux. Today I was driving to work and saw a Linux bumper sticker. (Are you listening S.u.S.E) I am curious to know how many people use Linux. Does anybody have statistics on this? How fast is it growing? On a related note, I have found that products like the Netscape Communicator are not fully functional on Linux. For example, I was using Netscape on windows NT and found a neat page that had really cool mouseover Java Script. This does not seem to work with my Linux version of Netscape. If any one else wants to see what I am talking about, try: <A HREF="http://www.nokia.com/6100launch/feat_ir.html"><A HREF="http://www.nokia.com/6100launch/feat_ir.html</A">http://www.nokia.com/6100launch/feat_ir.html</A</A>>. under NT when I mouse over the parts of the phone the different text sections pop up immediately. In Linux I need to click on the parts of the phone. I find there are other features that don't exist under the Linux version of Netscape. It may be that these features don't exist on any Unix versions. It seems to me that if there is a growing Linux user community it would be wise of companies such as Netscape to provide better functionality than they do. Any thoughts?

[S.u.S.E. Linux] pppd
by rknebel＠csrlink.net 20 Jun '98

I am trying to make my ppp dialable by normal users. I have done this on other linux systems by the command chmod u+s /usr/sbin/pppd. This does not change the permissions in suse because I can still not dial out with my normal user status only root. I can change it by going to the file in tkdesk and making it exectable by everyone but as soon as I run SUSEConfig for another reason it will cahnge the permissions and i cannot run it as anything but root again. I would be grateful for any suggestions Thanks Alot -- Rick Knebel rknebel(a)csrlink.net -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
