[S.u.S.E. Linux] Hostname not found?
by lsayre＠integrityonline13.com 19 Jun '98

19 Jun '98

On boot-up I see the message "hostname not found", and I get the same if I type hostname -d (-f, -s). Any ideas on how to correct this in SuSE 5.2? ----------------------------------------------- Man's mind is his basic tool of survival!

Greetings: It is my intent to do some repartitioning after adding a hard-drive and reinstall 5.1. I have almost completely divorced myself from any dependence on "The Evil Empire." One of the few remaining quirks is my inability to make oss functional and hence enjoy my investment in one of their licenses. If it is possible during install, how do I ensure that i) "the kernel is compiled with loadable module support" and ii) "the kernel must not have sound-driver compiled in"?

[S.u.S.E. Linux] Printer Problems
by kimon＠wtco.net 18 Jun '98

18 Jun '98

Hello, I have a Postcript Laserprinter (NEC Silentwriter 2Model 90 to be exact) and I am having some difficulties. I have Printer Parrallel support built as a module, and it loads fine. But the SuSE manual says it should be for most (since I do not have a Hercules card) on lp1. For me, using Yast to configure, I cannot even, reach the printer on lp1. Now on lp0 I try to print something and this is what happens. There is communication with the printer, and after about 10 seconds of processing it reverts back to the ready state. Running dmesg I get lp0 at 0x03bc, (polling) I used to run 0S/2 and I experienced these exact same symptoms. IBM tech support worked with me and we figured out that if I disable polling and use IRQ then everything is fine. Could this go for linux as well? I am assuming from dmesg that I am using polling here as well. Does anybody know how to change this? One other knote that baffels me. The manual says lp0 is on IRQ5 which is what I have my Sound Card configured to. Now that would explain why it is not working completely, but it would not explain why I cannot even see the printer on lp1 IRQ7 which is vacant. Any ideas would be much aappreciated.

Has anybody been able to load postgres 6.3.2 with SuSE 5.1? For some reason I can not get psql to compile in the make. The version of postgres that came with SuSE 5.1--postgres 6.2-- seems to load off the distribution disks with no problem. Although I would much prefer that SuSE loaded postgres in /usr/local/pgsql and not in /usr/bin. Thanks for any help.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] Networking - Internet

As a Linux "newbie" I have many questions concerning setting internet access configuration. Though I've managed to install SuSE 5.2, Debian 1.3.0, RedHat 5.0 and OS/2 3.0 all on same HDD I've not managed to wade through all the HOW-TOs on setting up my internet access, which would include PPP and non-PPP(one person on this list cordially sent me info on what his scripts looked like). I'm spending time in "The Linux Bible" as well the HOW-TOs provided with 5.2(assuming them to be more up to date), but can anyone recommend a concise book on what appears to be a rather "disconnected" subject. Under KDE I can dial my modem, but get no further(I obviously have not configured the system completely). Right now this is a puzzle and I'm not certain, which pieces are needed to complete it. Any suggestions as to where I can look? Also, when I start SDB and Netscape comes up it looks for URLs, but of course, can not get to them. When I start Netscape, alone, as focus moves with the mouse cursor Netscape goes black when when the mouse is over the desktop, but the desktop goes blurry, resolution goes very bad(I'm using the standard background) with multiple colors. My video card is a Diamond Stealth 3D(not the Pro). Also, any ideas on this?

[S.u.S.E. Linux] current kernel configuration?
by marc_bouron＠hotmail.com 17 Jun '98

17 Jun '98

Hello, Having now been playing with my newly-installed SuSE 5.2 for a while, I'd like to build my own kernel. Setting the configuration options is one thing, but I'd like to know what they're set to currently: i.e. what does my current (off the CD) kernel look like. Is there any way to tell? Ideally I'd like to be able to build a kernel which is just like my current one, but with a couple of things added (and perhaps a couple of things taken away). Any hints will be gratefully received.

by hattons＠cpkwebser5.ncr.disa.mil 17 Jun '98

17 Jun '98

All, I am having a problem with my backgrounds in KDE 1.0b4. I am not able to get them to display. The last significant change I made was setting my mouse to an intellimouse. This did not cause a problem immediately. The problem came on suddenly, and without anything significant immediately preceding it. I have uninstalled then reinstalled the KDE and all the X stuff. I reinstalled all the qt stuff that I could find. If I look in the .xsession-errors I see: Warning: Could not attach SHM. QPixmap::convertFromImage: Cannot convert a null image KBackground::KBackground KScreenSaver::KScreenSaver KGeneral::KGeneral KFM seems to be crashed !!!!!!! Running new KFM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[S.u.S.E. Linux] Desktop Flatpanel monitors
by kc8chq＠juno.com 16 Jun '98

16 Jun '98

I'm currently using a 14" svga(I think) it was given to me with an old 486/33.(It was better than the 14" vga I have:-)) I'd like to replace it and have considered a 17" Trintron, possibly with multimedia, though I've not been able to configure the AWE64 I just purchased or the Hauppauge Wincast/TV-dbx. Having seen DVD on an HP Pavillion ("Contact" is pretty impressive) it may be time to do more with my machine. The NEC flatpanels(www.xtraview.com) look preety impressive(I know much more expensive thenn crts), but I like the power consumption and lower radiation. Still there may be other trade offs, such as perhaps mpeg will be unacceptable. Anyways, was wondering if anyone, aside from laptop users, has made the switch?

As long as we're on the subject, anything over 800x600 and I get a horrid refresh rate. Both my card (s3) and my monitor (ADI 5AP 17") are capable of doing better at up to 1280x1024. I dual boot, and this is this case in both os'es, so it isn't an x issue. I'm just curious, is my graphics card or my monitor more likely to be the culprit? I get outstanding image quality at 800x600, but at 1024x768 I get the wavy effect from too low a refresh rate.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] RealAudio, Communicator & SuSE 5.2 *Update*
by deem＠wdm.com 16 Jun '98

16 Jun '98

Here's the scoop: To get a SuSE 5.2 system up with OSS Commercial drivers and RealAudio 5.0 I did the following: Grabbed the following files - rv50_linux20.tar.gz RealAudio osslinux39d-2034.tar.gz OSS (This costs...$20.00) Take oss files and put them in /tmp . run ./oss-install and take the defaults as they work fine. Next, take the RealAudio files and de-compress in a good place. Open your browser to ~/rvplayer5.0/index.htm and follow the instructions with caveat of doing this: I put info on the location of RealAudio at .bash_profile and here's mine: ---------------------------------------------------------------- # .bash_profile # Get the aliases and functions if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then . ~/.bashrc fi # User specific environment and startup programs PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:$HOME/.pgp:$HOME/rvplayer5.0 ENV=$HOME/.bashrc USERNAME="W.D.McKinney" MOZILLA_HOME=/opt/netscape export MOZILLA_HOME export USERNAME ENV PATH export PGPPATH=~/.pgp LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/rvplayer5.0 export LD_LIBRARY_PATH ----------------------------------------------------------------- This is a quick fix and it works fine. Here's the next step, move the files from /rvplayer5.0/Mailcap & Mime.types and copy them to your home sub-directory as .mime.types and .mailcap These are important. You may just need to edit them if you have them already. I'm listening to the radio now continuously with RealAudio and no problems at all.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] The Gospel according to a Hacker
by hatridge＠straubing.baynet.de 15 Jun '98

15 Jun '98

The Gospel according to a Hacker In the beginning there was the C, and the C was with Ritchie, and the C was UNIX. The same was in the beginning with Kernighan and Ritchie; and the UNIX shineth in darkness, and the DOS comprehendeth it not. There was a man sent from MIT, whose name was Stallman. The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the GNU. He said, "I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, `make straight the path of the GNU,' as saith the EMACS." The next day Stallman seeth Linus coming unto him, and saith, "Behold the kernel of the GNU, which taketh away the price of the software." And Stallman bare record, saying, "I saw the Linux descending upon Linus from C like a penguin." And Linus said, "Blessed be the eight-char tab, "and blessed be the 24-line screen, "and blessed be the broken-up function. "Be compatible with those who are incompatible with you, "and emulate those who ignore your API." For Stallman so loved the GNU, that he he gave his only written software, the EMACS, that all through it might be freed. And Linus wrote an OS, even the 0.99 version, and the 1.x version, and the 2.x version. And behold, Linux ran Emacs, and Netscape, and Motif. But the disciples of Linus wished all to be free like the EMACS, and wrote Lesstif, and Wine, and GIMP. And as he gave his disciples bits of Wine and bits of DOS, they asked, "What will happen to BSD?" And Linus said, "The BSD people should have added these features a long time ago. Now mabey they will." And he who addeth or fixeth shall be glorified as a great hacker. Be it ever so done, in the name of UNIX, Amen. -- 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] what configuration for HP CopyJet?

Hello, I have an HP CopyJet and have been trying to get it working with my new-ly installed SuSE 5.2 system. I'm trying to configure apsfilter and gs, but I'm not clear as to which driver to use. I've variously tried hpdj and pjxl300 without complete success. I can print plain ASCII, but getting gs to print is more problematic - I get garbage. What printer should I send gs output to (and what gs driver should I use), and how should I configure that printer in apsfilterrc?

[S.u.S.E. Linux] No ./core dump for debugging (pls help)
by hettar＠teleport.com 14 Jun '98

14 Jun '98

Hello SuSE, I am kinda new to this so bear with me, hey have to start somewhere. I am trying to debug a X wm, I need to get a ./core file dump of a certain wm when killing (or was killed) while in a wm. I useually use Xnest332 ;) so I can stay alive on my screen, but anyways no matter. The thing is that I need to run somthing like this: gdb blackbox ./core bt and then save whats there into a file format, provided it gives filenames and line numbers I have done su-c (root) set : ulimit -c unlimited and ulimit -c does show unlimited from a 0 before setting.. This should let ./core files be generated.. But if I type on console: gdb blackbox ./core it tells me no such file or directory (everytime) I would like to know why this is not working. I would like to know how to fix it, even if you send me off to read a manual page ;) Or maybe SuSE dumps ./core into a different file name? Well, maybe not as an: ulimit -c, at a boot up time shows my limit to be back down at 0, and I need to have unlimited there. Also I'd like to have ./core dumps from any user not just root. as I debug while on IRC to chat with the writter of the wm ;) Steve Udell Xnest ROCKS ;) hettar(a)teleport.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

Hi All I'm having a bit of a problem with the printer configuration. The problem is that when I send a print job (using 'lpr /etc/passwd' ....for example) to the printer, the result is the contents of the print job is only printed in the lower-left hand corner of the paper and is displayed in 'landscape' orientation. Also the print is very small. I have a HP deskjet-520 non-color printer. If anyone has any suggestion please feel free to reply to this e-mail post. Thank you for your help in advance.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] SuSE 5.3
by hettar＠teleport.com 14 Jun '98

14 Jun '98

reposting cause of netscape screwed up my message with line returns that I did not put there :( I would deleate the old msg myself but it didn't work ---------------------------------- Why SuSE 5.3? I can't imagine what the differences that SuSE 5.3 will have over 5.2 SuSE. Only reason I see that SuSE 5.3 will be released is their dedication to release a new SuSE every 4 months or so. Which by it-self has me wondering, do I really need 5.3? (yes I am on the subscribe to SuSE updates). I would really like not to be the "last one on the block" to be able to use one new feature such as glibc2. I know maybe the delay is for maybe to be able to put in 2.2.0 Kernel with the SuSE 6.0 as they just released 2.1.105 with HAM radio drivers (which is to me looking like they about finished with the 2.1.XX development)=(they throwing all the bells and whistles in). I would very much like to figure out how to tweak my current box to support the now linux standard of glibc2. Everything is going that way, why wait. Linux is for testing/haveing fun/tweaking/hacking you name it. Seeing the RH users having fun/trubbles with it, and seeing Debian get tons of support + having their beta 2.0 called HAMM is getting me jealous. Kernel 2.0.34 is out and stable from what I have heard, SuSE "heavly - patches" thier Kernels, so in waiting for SuSE to update thier ftp site with .34, I am wonder what they patch exacly to make it thier own version of the Kernel thus making it un-pactchable by some of the standard patches for the Linux Kernels, this is fustrating. I could use a standard-out-of-the-box Kernel source-tree, I have before, so I am wondering as stated above what makes the -suse kernels so different/ should I wait? I did notice that most distros have to append LILO if they have over 32Megs of RAM but I have never had that problem. I really enjoy SuSE, it is keeping pretty much standard to the Linux community. Unlike lets say Red Hat, which strays by putting in thier "easy-to-use-config" programs which are not standard, and making people who help RH users "Have" to be Red Hat users themselfs. But RH over all is a good distro as all of them are. This is not over the .rpm management program. Steve Udell hettar(a)teleport.com sudell(a)teleport.com So does SuSE have a wish list, to like make comments on what they should have on a up-and-comming distro of thiers? if so where do I find it? -- 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 had the same experience. You would not happen to be trying to use the file /usr/src/linux/vmlinux ? After compile the actual kernel resides under /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/.

by schullersite＠worldnet.att.net 13 Jun '98

Hoping there's a SuSE guru that can help me with what seems to be the most common Linux configuration problem. My ISP, AT&T Worldnet, uses MS-CHAP authentication for PPP connnections. I downloaded a utility called eznet (<A HREF="http://www.hwaci.com/sw/eznet/"><A HREF="http://www.hwaci.com/sw/eznet/</A">http://www.hwaci.com/sw/eznet/</A</A>> ) that takes care of my authentication for me and works wonderfully. I can get connected to the Worldnet PPP server, and from what I can tell, I am indeed getting an IP assigned. However, I can't ping anything, not even the two domain name servers specified in /etc/resolv.conf. I copied the tail end of /var/log/message to a file on a shared partition.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] SuSE 5.2g DAY TWO
by satan＠nfinity.com 12 Jun '98

12 Jun '98

Ok, picking up where I left off last night, I set up all the necessary symlinks and installed my fresh glibc2. Compiling a small c program and checking it with ldd, I verified that my compiler (still gcc-2.7.2.1) was indeed now linked to glibc. I left libc5 and libm5 in /lib, just so the few things I had built against libc5 (binaries from my "Minimal" install) wouldn't be broken, until I was sure I could live completely libc5-free. Everything I was building from this point on was glibc, but I still had X and the bare necessities linked against libc5. I built a fresh kernel, rebuilt some of the basics now with glibc like bash and things I would need for compiling stuff (bison, flex, make, guile, termcap, blah ad infinitum; I essentially compiled stuff all day long), and built egcs-1.0.3a. All of this went off without a hitch, so I booted my fresh kernel. Everything came back on line, I verified the versions of all the programs I had compiled under glibc, and oddly enough I wasn't running into any problems. None. I set up networking and spent a brief time doing everyday stuff like web browsing and irc. I spent some more time compiling libs and apps, and I've come to some conclusions. Originally my intention was to produce a 100 0libc based system. A) That is a really ambitious project, and it makes you appreciate the work the people at SuSE, RedHat, Debian, Stampede, etc. do. B) The more I worked in my new glibc based system I saw no reason to eliminate libc5. The integration between my newly built glibc based apps and libs and my existing libc5 based apps and libs was pretty seamless. C) I noticed that some things that built fine under SuSE 5.2 didn't build under SuSE 5.2g. This was consistent with my brief RedHat 5.0 experience (Donnie, you know I don't mean that as an assault on RedHat, so don't get bent ;) ). I am not discounting operator error by any means, but regardless, I feel that glibc DOES choke on some source code that doesn't pose problems for libc5. In all fairness, this is probably because the development boxes were libc5 based, much the same way that Gnome doesn't like libc5 much because it is being developed (primarily) on glibc (although I saw one Gnome developer proclaim on the Gnome mailing list that he uses a libc5 box for development). D) Gnome _does_build_better_ in a glibc environment, but a couple of packages still gave my box the hiccups. I had as much luck getting mc to compile in glibc as I did in libc5. Is Gnome ready for the desktops of America's linux users? Not really. Is Gnome something we should all be keeping a watchful eye on? You bet. I think it's a popular misconception to think of Gnome as a gtk-based kde. This is developing technology (gnome and gtk) that is window manager independent and in the case of gtk we have a rapidly maturing interface that in time will allow the user to custom tailor the look to a degree that motif and qt simply aren't capable of. I was really surprised how painless the whole glibc thing was. I expected several days and many set backs getting things functioning. What I didn't expect was how peacefully libc5 would coexist with glibc. I could spend several more days converting to a solely glibc based system, but I don't really see the point now. I am going to reformat, do my regular SuSE install and then install glibc as a secondary c library so that I can link it for apps that, well who am I kidding, so I can keep compiling Gnome snapshots ;). But I am going to keep libc5 as my primary c library, because, for now, it seems to be more reliable/predictable for compiling source, something we all do a lot of. I'll let you know if I run into any problems, any apps or libs getting broken somehow, but libc5 and glibc seem to do all right together, something I wouldn't have expected. -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

Dwight Johnson posted a "sendmail" answer to my Netscape lockup problem which I have misplaced, so I cannot quote it. I replied that I could never get sendmail to send outgoing SMTP messages. With Dwight's suggestion and a lot of time with man smail, I have gotten smail to send messages, but only by the following: cat <message file name> | smail -t The -t option fetches the To address from the message itself. When the message is in smail's outgoing queue file, which is /var/spool/smail/input (I think), smail -t -q doesn't send the message, nor are any errors logged. What's going on? Is it required that the queued nail have some standard style filename like a message ID? I think that Dwight's solution will work out fine for me if I can get past this.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] Help with SuSE 5.1 and libc 5.44
by kiril＠u.washington.edu 12 Jun '98

12 Jun '98

Hi, I am new to SuSE and I am trying to install the new JDK1.1.6. In the JDK readme it recommends that if your distribution is libc, it should be version 5.44. My questions regarding this are: 1. Do I have to buy the 5.2 SuSE distribution disks to upgrade? 2. If I can down load the 5.44 libc from somewhere--Where can I get it from online, Is there a SuSE version of the correct rpm to do this? 3. Since I need to upgrade the library to use JDK1.1.6, is it recommendable at this point to upgrade to the newer glibc and then download the glibc version of the JDK? Thank you for any assistance, Kerry -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

Sorry, it took me a while to figure out why I was having problems with the Real Video Player.

Make sure you have PCMCIA support in your kernel. You may need to recompile your kernel. It's fairly painless. :) 2. Make sure you have the correct IRQ set for the modem. Check and see what NT's using, and then check and see what Linux is using by using the setserial command. If they differ, that's quite possibly where your problem is. Hope this helps.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] SuSE 5.3?
by hettar＠teleport.com 10 Jun '98

10 Jun '98

Why SuSE 5.3? I can't imagine what the differences that SuSE 5.3 will have over 5.2 SuSE. Only reason I see that SuSE 5.3 will be released is their dedication to release a new SuSE every 4 months or so. Which by it-self has me wondering, do I really need 5.3? (yes I am on the subscribe to SuSE updates). I would really like not to be the "last one on the block" to be able to use one new feature such as glibc2. I know maybe the delay is for maybe to be able to put in 2.2.0 Kernel with the SuSE 6.0 as they just released 2.1.105 with HAM radio drivers (which is to me looking like they about finished with the 2.1.XX development)=(they throwing all the bells and whistles in). I would very much like to figure out how to tweak my current box to support the now linux standard of glibc2. Everything is going that way, why wait. Linux is for testing/haveing fun/tweaking/hacking you name it. Seeing the RH users having fun/trubbles with it, and seeing Debian get tons of support + having their beta 2.0 called HAMM is getting me jealous. Kernel 2.0.34 is out and stable from what I have heard, SuSE "heavly - patches" thier Kernels, so in waiting for SuSE to update thier ftp site with .34, I am wonder what they patch exacly to make it thier own version of the Kernel thus making it un-pactchable by some of the standard patches for the Linux Kernels, this is fustrating. I could use a standard-out-of-the -box Kernel source-tree, I have before, so I am wondering as stated above what makes the -suse kernels so different/ should I wait? I did notice that most distros have to append LILO if they have over 32Megs of RAM but I have never had that problem. I really enjoy SuSE, it is keeping pretty much standard to the Linux community. Unlike lets say Red Hat, which strays by putting in thier "easy-to-use-config" programs which are not standard, and making people who help RH users "Have" to be Red Hat users themselfs. But RH over all is a good distro as all of them are. This is not over the .rpm management program. Steve Udell hettar(a)teleport.com sudell(a)teleport.com So does SuSE have a wish list, to like make comments on what they should have on a up-and-comming distro of thiers? if so where do I find it? -- 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] SuSE-5.2g DAY ONE
by satan＠nfinity.com 10 Jun '98

10 Jun '98

Ok, I started with a clean slate. Formatted and reinstalled, using SuSE's minimal configuration (49 mb). Added gcc, libc, make, autoconf, texinfo, bison, flex, automake and I'm sure others that I'm forgetting. Installed binutils-2.9.1 from source, then started on glibc. Used glibc-2.0.6 with the crypt, linuxthreads and localedata add ons. Configured it as my primary c library instead of a test install, and compiled the works (sheesh, I thought mico took a long time to compile, glibc took 50 minutes on my p200mmx). Anyway, so far, so good. Now I'm gonna finish watching Baron von Munchausen and get to bed so I can wake up for soccer in the morning. First thing tomorrow I'll link my fresh glibc to my compiler (which has been gcc-2.7.2.1 so far), build egcs-1.0.3a and a fresh kernel and then figure out what's next.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] Yast, ld.conf.so, and libraries?
by kimon＠wtco.net 09 Jun '98

09 Jun '98

Hello, I am new to linux, and have found YAST very helpful in getting me started. Now I went to install GIMP v1 and lesstif (I want to take a look at Mozilla), along with some GNOME stuff to try out. Both GIMP and GNOME need >= gtk1.01 so I installed the gtk1.0.4 rpm but nothing seems to find it on my system. The install directions mention editing /etc/ld.conf.so and running ldconfig. But yast warns not to edit ld.conf.so and instead edit ld.conf.so.in. Do I then just run ldconfig as I would otherwise? I must say, I am a bit confused over glib and libc5... Does that mean that rpm for redhat 5 or later will not work on SuSE? I installed the GNOME rpms and their suport files because I wanted to take a look at it. Now SuSE does not ship with (I don't think) mico and guile and all those other libraries. Can I still install them, or are they incompatible with my system. (BTW I am running SuSE 5.2) Now if I run ldconfig I get "warning: can't open /usr/lib/libImlib.so (No such file or directory), skipping warning: can't open /usr/lib/ligdk_imlib.so (No such file or directory) skipping" Yast gives similar messages (I suppose it is runing ldconfig in the setup) I know I've put out a lot of questions. Just to recap... Do rpms for Redhat 5 not work with SuSE? Should I make a habit of downloading the source code? Can SuSE users not use things like GNOME or GIMP v1 because of the the libraries? Using SuSE do you still follow directions saying to edit ld.conf.so files or not? If anybody can start explaining all this new stuff to me, I'd be much appreciated.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] Thanks, just one more thing..
by kimon＠wtco.net 07 Jun '98

07 Jun '98

Thanks to those who so promptly answered my question about glib vs libc5 and YAST. I was interested to hear that SuSE is planing to move to glib. I take it that must be the newer library, and if it is not to complicated, I am curious to know what it offers that libc5 does not. (Only if somebody wants to explain) One real last question is this... I want to play RealAudio files and I have not since any other player than RealPlayer Gold for Linux. So I d/l and installed it as it said, but when I play a file, it only plays the first second of it. (Or often nothing at all) I have OSS version 3.7.1 (came with SuSE 5.2) and an Awe32 Value Edition card. Everything else works (soundwise) except for midis, because I have not bothered with loading soundbanks. What could be causing the problem with RealPlayer? Does it use midi soundbanks ( I doubt that)? Or even better is there a different player which will support .ram files?

Yast does a fairly good job (with some slightly annoying exceptions). You just need to remember to set up basic networking first and then configure PPP. Also, as far as I can tell from the poking around I did, if you don't live in a German speaking country, just use "generic" as the name of your ISP. >do i need diald for ppp? and if so how do i get the diald properties to >show up??? You don't need diald, but since I live in the US and don't have to pay for connect time (I would still trade this for reasonable ISDN rates), I configured diald to bring up the connection when my computer comes up. It then tries to keep it up all the time. Works for me. However, there is a bug in the scripts that set up diald. They don't copy all the config files correctly to the right places. Look in the SuSE help database on the SuSE website. They have a note on it.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] sound and fury
by satan＠nfinity.com 05 Jun '98

05 Jun '98

Everything that makes noise in linux from mp3 players to cds to midi to games like Doom and Quake have always worked fine for me, no problems. However, the audio in xmame only works if I boot from loadlin. It uses /dev/dsp, as I'm sure other apps do. Every other noise maker on my box works from a lilo boot, but not xmame. Obviously from a loadlin boot something is getting configured that isapnp must not be setting up, but what, and why only that one app?

[S.u.S.E. Linux] X-server configuration troubles
by albert.bergonzo＠ign.fr 04 Jun '98

04 Jun '98

Dear fellow SuSE users, I am looking for your help and advice in the following matter : On SuSE 5.2, it has been very hard to get the XFree86 server up and running. My card is a Matrox Millenium PCI with 4M° Ram 220Mhz RamDac. Neither XSetup nor XConfig would generate a running server at first. I looked in SuSE support Database web site, DejaNews etc... Nothing worked until I ran SuperProbe and XSetup just afterwards. This time I could have evrything I wanted i.e. 1024x768 at depths between 16 and 32bits. When I have just done that, I can start any X session I want, quit, start again etc. All is not fine however, because after rebooting the machine (just normal reboot because I want to switch OS or whatever) and I try startx again, I get an error message stating my card cannot stand this resolution. It also appears in the error message like a generic card. I checked whether the links are right (following SuSE SDB advice) and it does not show anything wrong. Help and hints will be greatly appreciated as it is not much fun having to reconfigure the X system every time I start the machine :-( Albert P.S. I apologize for any misconceptions I may have on this issue, as you may have guessed I am new to Linux. -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

Hello Arun You should have a look to the configuration file in /etc called rc.config. In this file should be a variable which controls the loading and starting of your SSL-Layer.

Removed the case, Pentium II cpu is running coolish to the touch, all cooling fans running smoothly. Increased space on rack between towers for better ventilation. I set up a cron job to send a mail at regular intervals to indicate when. the system becomes non-repsonsive. Outside temperature was in the low 50's Farenheit. Air conditioner was turned off to remove potential brown out conditions, power spikes. Room temperature remained cool. In spite of all this system had become non-repsonsive between 4:00 AM and 4:15 am. The system behavior was a bit different. Consoles allow you to switch between them <alt><F?> and allow you work thru the login sequence, reporting past failed login attempts and new mail notification. However, It seems that the shell(bash) never gets started, since there is no prompt and lack of keyboard/mouse response in that console. All network access telnet, httpd, etc. is dead, however, the server still responds to pings. /var/log/messages shows the faxclean queue being checked ( There is no queue ) without fail. After my first console login attempt the following error messages were generated every couple of seconds: Jun 2 11:13:14 www kernel: wait_queue is bad ( eip=0018948b ) q= 03fb8934 *q= 03f7cf68 Jun 2 11:13:16 www kernel: wait_queue is bad ( eip=0018948b ) q= 03fb8934 *q= 03f7cf68 Jun 2 11:13:17 www kernel: wait_queue is bad ( eip=0018948b ) q= 03fb8934 *q= 03f7cf68 Jun 2 11:13:20 www kernel: wait_queue is bad ( eip=0018948b ) q= 03fb8934 *q= 03f7cf68 Prior to all this there was an error message > Are you 110ure your memory chip(s) is/are OK (no, works under Win does > not count, Windows does not use the memory to the full potential)?

[S.u.S.E. Linux] No mouse and no keyboard after Xwindows start

Hi, I have installed SuSe and Xwindows starts, but the first touch of the keyboard locks the computer - no control,alt,delete. Also the mouse is not working. It's a Microsoft serial mouse. If anyone knows the answer to these problems, then your help would be much appreciated.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] RealAudio 5.0 (any progress?)
by lsayre＠integrityonline13.com 31 May '98

31 May '98

This is a follow-up to my posts from a few weeks back. I was able to get RealAudio 3.0 (for a.out) working fine in SuSE 5.2, but with RealAudio 5.0 (for ELF), all I get is about 1.5 seconds of stream, then RealAudio locks up. Nearly all broadcast sites have upgraded to RealAudio 5.0, and 3.0 just won't work with them. Therefore, 5.0 is a necessity. I know many responded that they are having the same problem. Has anyone who previously had this problem managed to fix it? ----------------------------------------------- Man's mind is his basic tool of survival!

Well, I finally am up with Linux .. I put in a 2nd 4.3 gig IDE drive in my Pentium 100. SuSE found the CD-ROM and booted. Thanks for the advice. Linux can't find my mouse .. a Logitech M-M35 .. this is a new type serial mouse .. a small OEM mouse. When I use YaST and goto Configure SFree86 the system stays on "applying ......." forever. Fortunately Linux uncleaned the drives after I "reset" my PC. Also I can't find a way to address my CD-ROM drive once I'm in Linux. What commands do I use? Just one other thing .. I wish IBM's AIX was this nice to work with. The history command with Linux is nice.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] Error in 5.2
by rdebruin＠willow.cistron.nl 31 May '98

31 May '98

I noticed two errors in the setup of a PPP configuration with yast under 5.2 (suseppp): The installation program copies the modem speed (entered with F4 by the user) only to /etc/suseppp/generic.options. However, this value should also be added to /etc/suseppp/diald/generic.diald. I use an ISDN external adapter with a modem speed of 115200, and without the value "speed 115200" in /etc/suseppp/diald/generic.diald I can't make a call. I believe the default for diald is 38400 which works for most people, but not in this case. To be on the safe side, always put the speed in generic.diald. Second problem: when specifying a server IP address in the PPP configuration for generic, the installation program writes a line "remote xx.xx.xx" to a file called /etc/suseppp/diald/generic which is wrong. It should add the line "remote xx.xx.xx" to the file /etc/suseppp/diald/generic.diald. Now diald complains that the remote address is missing. It seems the extension of the file is lost...

[S.u.S.E. Linux] 32bit FAT/Linux newbie
by tsteven＠maptel.es 31 May '98

31 May '98

Hi, If this is a bit off subject for the list then I apologise, but as a potential Linux newbie with a M$95 ver. b box with a 32.bit FAT single partition HD it was important. Like I said before I am sure that Partition Magic is a great piece of software but if its your first venture into a new OS why layout 60/80$ to start? Dwight Johnson wrote..."There is no Linux utility that will make the cluster size smaller on a DOS or WIN95 partition and reclaim the space. Partition Magic is the only game in town." well that maybe true for linux but cvt.exe will do it for nothing and PM is not the only game in town..... To recap, 1. If your DOS/WIN95 partition is 16-bit FAT simply use FIPS (scandisk/defrag first) 2. If you have 16-bit FAT and are worried that you don't have sufficient space for a linux partition after using FIPS then you can convert your 16-bit FAT to 32-bit FAT non-destructively using the free M$ utility cvt.exe from <A HREF="http://www.dentalaw.com/freestuff"><A HREF="http://www.dentalaw.com/freestuff</A">http://www.dentalaw.com/freestuff</A</A>> ( this is NOT reversible ). On a "typical" single partition 1GB HD 16-bit FAT 32K clustersize this would free up about 150MB. 3. If your DOS/WIN95 partition is already 32-bit FAT simply use FIPS (scandisk/defrag first). In all cases it is better to turn off the win automatic virtual memory management ( swapfile ) otherwise FIPS might not find any free space as the swapfile tends to be at the end of the harddisk and defrag wont move it. 4. If for whatever reason you decide to backup and repartition/reformat the HD then the following undocumented switches for format and fdisk might be useful:- FDISK /FPRMT "normally" you cannot FDISK a FAT32 partition smaller than 512MB, with this switch you can. FORMAT /z:n the default clustersize for FAT16 is 32K and for FAT32 is 4K if you were desparate to get as much space as possible for an e.g. linux partition then you could FORMAT /z:n where n*512 = clustersize, on a large HD with millions of clusters there would be a performance degradation under WIN95 but as we are doing all this to get to grips with linux who cares :). Remember that all of the above only applies to ver OSR2 or later of WIN95. I did mention backing up all important stuff didn't I? :-( Thanks to Pascal for the kernel and patch info for 32-bit FAT support. -- 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] HylaFAX last page problem: REMOTE HANGUP: Invalid response to MPS (code 53)
by suselist＠shelob.demon.nl 30 May '98

30 May '98

My configuration of HylaFAX does not seem to ACK the last page of a fax message. The last page has already been sent, so no more pages are to be expected. I tried to find some details of the facsimile protocol, to try and understand the log files better, but the references I found have removed the information since (like www.grayfax.com), or I can not find them. So I have actually 2 questions: 1) Where can I find some details about the facsimile protocol 2) How can I solve this problem. Below is the part from the log file with the error message. May 30 11:02:28.79: [ 2649]: --> [21:+FDCS:1,3,0,2,1,0,0,1] May 30 11:02:28.79: [ 2649]: REMOTE wants 9600 bit/s May 30 11:02:28.80: [ 2649]: REMOTE wants page width 1728 pixels in 215 mm May 30 11:02:28.80: [ 2649]: REMOTE wants unlimited page length May 30 11:02:28.80: [ 2649]: REMOTE wants 7.7 line/mm May 30 11:02:28.80: [ 2649]: REMOTE wants 2-D MR May 30 11:02:44.02: [ 2649]: --> [8:+FHNG:53] May 30 11:02:44.02: [ 2649]: REMOTE HANGUP: Invalid response to MPS (code 53) May 30 11:02:44.03: [ 2649]: RECV FAX (00000012): recvq/fax00012.tif from +31 75 6709788, route to <unspecified>, 2 pages in 2:54 May 30 11:02:44.19: [ 2649]: RECV FAX: Invalid response to MPS May 30 11:02:44.25: [ 2649]: RECV FAX (00000012): session with +31 75 6709788 terminated abnormally: Invalid response to MPS May 30 11:02:44.25: [ 2649]: RECV FAX: bin/faxrcvd "recvq/fax00012.tif" "modem" "00000012" "Invalid response to MPS" Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I changed the line #include <png.h> to #include "/usr/X11/include/png.h" and the same with libjpg.h to make it work. I'm not sure if I made something wrong in the beginning but now it works. I just read Michael's mail about editing the makefile. Well, well. That would have been a nicer solution. But it works now. Thank you all!!

>IMHO BEST Beginners book so far. Sams' Teach Yourself >Linux in 24 hours. Where is the Red Hat Press? I went to the Red Hat site, but could not find this book there. Also, is the Linux Encyc. a good source? With all the good references to Linux here, it sounds like I need to gather some resources and put this OS is work.

Hey guys, I know this has probably been asked before, but I have been unable to find the threads on this particular question. Where is the best location, SuSE 5.2, to place my rules for masq., so it will be done automatically at boot time? At the moment, I am having to do it manually.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] Logging ICMP packets
by pbleser＠prov-liege.be 30 May '98

30 May '98

How can I log incoming ICMP packets on my webserver ? He's standalone on the internet... For logging TCP & UDP, I can use tcpd, ok... but for ICMP ??? (like, logging attack attempts - although they don't harm ;-), I have 2.0.34pre14) I can't find a icmplogd (like Debian has, although RH doesn't have it either) Can I use the firewalling ?? (although I don't want/need to protect a local network) me ---lan----> firewall -----internet----> [webserver]----internet---->>> And don't tell me I should change that, and put the webserver on the firewall - the LAN & the firewall aren't under my control (it's the highschool's network, and the webserver is the student's site). ;-) Thanx for ya help...

Hi All, I getting a Adaptec 2940UW controler card next week and I would like to know if this SCSI controler card is supported in 2.0.33-SuSE (version 5.2). If so, how come I didn't see a driver when I did a prelimary 'make config' ? If it is not supported what kernel version supports this SCSI controler card? Thank you in advance for your help.
