[S.u.S.E. Linux] Chat & pppd in 5.2
by hlarons＠ComCAT.COM 29 May '98

29 May '98

When I was using older versions of chat and pppd, I used the pppd option "nodetach" to keep pppd from becoming a background process, and the chat option "-vs" to direct all the output of chat to stderr. Then I could follow the progress of the dialup, and see when my dynamic IP address was assigned, confirming my connection. With pppd and chat in SuSE 5.2 I can't get this scheme to work. The new pppd option "-detach" seems equivalent to "nodetach," but neither -v nor -V forces chat to send output to stderr. Now I have to do an ifconfig to see my connection. How can I see chat play out on stderr? Howard Arons -- 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] DHCP Client
by sitaram＠diac.com 29 May '98

29 May '98

Is there a reason that 5.2 doesnt have a DHCP client built into it. My previous Linux (RH 4.2) *almost* had it (I just had to add the line BOOTPROTO=dhcp to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0). Many offices use DHCP internally - its the Ethernet eqvt of an ISP's dynamic IP addressing - so it is important. I myself can prolly figure out how to do this, considering that in RH 4.1 I had to do it myself. However, I'm trying to convince a number of people in my office to switch to Linux (or at least on a second partition), and I was very excited about being able to recommend one distribution that makes everything so *neat* for the new user. (I have joined this list only recently. Searched the archives, but only found a question from someone. No answers...) Thanks for any info. (Searched the FTP site - no dhcpCd files except the standard HOWTOs. Once again - I hope it's included in the next version. I know many people who would love to get into Linux, and might come to love it as time goes, but it's important that their *first* few steps into Linux be as simple and uncomplicated as possible. SuSE comes closest so far for my needs in this evangelistic attempt of mine.)

WINDOWS GOES SOFT ON UNIX Insignia Solutions, famous for bringing Windows to the Mac OS with its SoftWindows 95 and Real PC products, is set to sell SoftWindows 95 for UNIX to Hewlett-Packard, IBM, and Sun UNIX workstation owners on June 1, 1998. Crusty has learned that UNIX workstation owners will be able to buy the Insignia product in license packs of 5, 10, 25, or 50 users. As told to Your Watery Wayfarer, "SoftWindows 95 for UNIX is the leading PC compatibility software-only solution in the industry for UNIX workstations. It allows customers to run Microsoft Windows applications on their Sun, HP, and IBM workstations. Large corporations and small workgroups use SoftWindows 95 for UNIX to provide PC compatibility for UNIX workstation users, eliminating the need for two computers on the desktop and enhancing user productivity and communication within the corporation. Users can seamlessly switch between UNIX and Windows applications, and can even cut and paste between the two environments." "SoftWindows 95 is a useful value-added component to the complete CAD/CAM solution we provide to our customers," said Tony Pompeo, principal with L&H Consultants, Inc., a leading CATIA CAD/CAM integrator. "We are very pleased with the performance of SoftWindows 95 and the access to Windows applications it provides for our end users." *** I wonder... I've seen the Mac version perform on a MacOS...or rather not actually! But it will serve the purpose I guess... *** End users, The Argumentative Arthropod notes, who are more and more often dumping their UNIX workstations for fast Pentium II Windows 95 and NT boxes. *** Hmmmm, when did he fall out of the tree!?? Dumping UNIX workstations...!?? Another "Yeah-I-am-such-a-professional-'cause-I-use-Windows" kind of guy... *** In addition, SoftWindows 95 for UNIX covers all the Windows compatibility bases, including TCP/IP networking. As such, SoftWindows 95 for UNIX includes a DLL compliant with the WinSock 1.1 specification, including support for both 16-bit and 32-bit WinSock connections. The SoftWindows 95 winsock.dll communicates directly with the TCP/IP protocol stack in the host UNIX system. As told to The Crustacean, this networking method minimizes the amount of Intel code executed when communicating via TCP/IP and results in a more efficient implementation of winsock.dll.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] GUS MAX problem and installation Help
by jacksonc＠ucsee.EECS.Berkeley.EDU 28 May '98

28 May '98

Hi, I just installed SUSE 5.0 on a 486 DX4-100 with 8Mb ram and 200Mb HD. I want to recompile the kernel with minimum driver or support including my Gravis UltraSound MAX, but somehow it failed. I believe it is something wrong with the GUS MAX. Anyone using this sound card? And is there any special thing I have to take care before recompiling or is there any thing I have to enable in the kernel for it to work? Also, since the HD on that machine is very small, only 200Mb, what should I put on that machine? I put that machine up for my dad to surf the net so that the box has to have modem/tcp/ip support with Netscape. Does anyone tried to put stuff on a small machine like that? If so, what is the best package that I should install on it? Any advice will help.

The principle is very easy: you put your "switch" in /etc/rc.config... like this: blah... # # Do you want to run my daemon ? # START_MYDAEMON="yes" then, you add your script in /sbin/init.d/ (copy /sbin/init.d/skeleton to /sbin/init.d/mydaemon and edit it) and you do this: # ... . /etc/rc.config if [ "$START_MYDAEMON" != "yes" ] then exit fi ... and put the proper commands under start and stop and the last step is... decide at which runlevel your script should be started... let's say 2 (because we assume it's a network daemon here ;-)) and, inside this runlevel, decide when it should be launched... like this: /sbin/init.d# ln -s mydaemon rc2.d/S80mydaemon /sbin/init.d# ln -s mydaemon rc2.d/K10mydaemon Like this, it'll be started almost at the end and it'll be killed almost at the beginning... you have to coordinate this with the other links in rc2.d/ It works like this: when you switch to runlevel 2, the rc script will execute every file linked in /sbin/init.d/rc2.d/ that starts with S (like Start), sorted (S01xxx will be run before S02xxx, ...), with "start" as argument when you switch down from runlevel 2, the rc script will execute every file linked in /sbin/init.d/rc2.d/ that starts with K (like Kill), sorted (K01xxx will be run before K02xxx, ...), with "stop" as argument Isn't that easy enough ? ;-) Pascal /nick SuSE52 on #linux (IRCnet) root on www.student.prov-liege.be -----Original Message----- From: Eduardo Romero <edo(a)ce2usm.valparaiso.cl> To: suse-linux-e(a)suse.com <suse-linux-e(a)suse.com> Date: mercredi 27 mai 1998 20:18 Subject: [S.u.S.E.

Re: [S.u.S.E. Linux] Multiple drives with only 1 mount point
by kc8chq＠juno.com 28 May '98

28 May '98

I'm a newbie, but I recently installed SuSE 5.2 on one drive. Using fdisk and YaST I created partitions for /, /usr/ /opt, and /home as well as swap. I set / below the 1024 cylinder barrier. As I am alos running Debian and Red Hat and set up similar partitions with exception of /opt and share the swap partition. I'm guessing, but I would think similar set up across multiple drives would be called for; selecting the particular parition for the respective dev.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] SuSE-5.1 kernel version mismatch with sources
by Ted.Harding＠nessie.mcc.ac.uk 27 May '98

27 May '98

Following upgrade earlier this year from S.u.S.E.-5.0 to S.u.S.E.-5.1, I have just found that I now have kernel version 2.0.33 and modules version 2.0.33 installed, but the kernel sources are for version 2.0.32. Scanning the 5.1 CD-ROMS shows that only sources version 2.0.32 are provided. I discovered this while trying to compile and install ftape-3.04d. This compiles for version 2.0.32 and, as a result, I am unable to use the resulting modules which refuse to be loaded by "modprobe" (" kernel-module version mismatch"). Although insertion of the resulting ftape.o can be forced by "insmod -o", it does not work: mt -f /dev/nftape rewind mt: /dev/nftape: No such device (whereas the same does work with the ftape.o which came with modules-2.0.33 on the S.u.S.E.-5.1 CD-ROM). This mismatch on the S.u.S.E.-5.1 distribution between the distributed binary kernel version and the source kernel version has really annoyed me. Short of re-compiling from the supplied sources to get a 2.0.32 kernel (which strikes me as a retrograde step!), is there a way round this? And what have the S.u.S.E. management to say about the version mismatch?

Hello: I recently upgraded from 5.1 to 5.2, and despite everything I've tried, I can't get my printers to work properly. I set them up (/dev/lp1 => HP Deskjet 500 and /dev/lp2 => epson) using YaST, but things don't work. If I issue the command (as root) "cat .bashrc > /dev/lp1" the file starts printing out in "stair-step" fashion, and hangs after a few lines.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] Microtek E-6 installation?
by lsayre＠integrityonline13.com 25 May '98

25 May '98

I've tried to get SuSE Linux 5.2 to recognize my Adaptec 1502AE controller card via YaST (using the install SCSI modules feature of the installation disk), but no matter what settings I try for the 'aha152x' it says they are incorrect. Can someone with a similar setup suggest parameters to try here. I tried (among others) 'aha152x=0x340,9,7' to no avail. My scanner is default set to SCSI device #6, and I've never changed this. I tried using insmod to install the aha152x, but all it keeps saying is 'device is busy'. This is surprising, since nothing else (as in YaST for instance) seems to acknowledge the existence of the device. Installing the SCSI kernel for aha152x did nothing to help either. On boot up I get the message 'SCSI devices:0'. Using YaST off the hard drive to 'install new hardware' only gives me a nasty red message "no SCSI device detected", and offers no set-up at all (as in a suggestion to install a module...). >From Win95 I can see that the card is on IRQ 9, with an I/O range of 0140-015F. Works fine in Win95, but I'm trying to become MS free.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] Post installation behavior of Yast/Suseconfig
by arunkhan＠xnet.com 25 May '98

25 May '98

I have installed SuSE 5.1 and 5.2 (demo version) in 4 PCs including a a GW2K laptop. I have noticed that Yast starts up automatically for a couple of reboots (after installation) and quits without doing anything (apparently) even though all packages seem to have been installed i.e. packages from CDs 2/3 were not required. During these sessions I have also noticed that Suseconfig is running in the background. As one user posted removing a .configured2 file in /etc/ branch stops this. I couldn't find any explaination in the accompanying handbook and was wondering if there is a definite number of reboots after which the post installation Yast and Suseconfig will not run. -- Arun Khan -- 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] Help with network setup of 2nd NIC
by arunkhan＠xnet.com 25 May '98

25 May '98

I have setup SuSE 5.1 [node A] on a machine with 2 NICs (eth0=192.168.11.11 and eth1=192.168.11.12). Thru Yast, I have also setup the IP addresses for both NICs. At boot up both cards are recognized and 'ifconfig -a' shows that both interfaces are up (pls. see o/p below). On node A (SuSE machine) ping -c3 192.168.11.11 produces response BUT ping -c3 192.168.11.12 produces NO response.

I have no problem with any of them...I have dealt with idiots before. I am, however, highly amused at the hysteria you, and several others, are emoting for whatever absurd reason. I have read all your diatribe, all of which is way off base, and irrelevant. If anyone had any reasonable attitude, they would request our one "satan" to back off...it is not decent netiquette. I am not interested in perpetrating arguments with tiresome and petty attitudes, which you, and several others, insist on maintaining as your agenda. Suffice it to say that all your time-wasting explanations below, are nothing more than that: time-wasting. They are also highly manipulative. It would behoove you, and anyone else, to cease dumping private email on me...as the only excuse you have is to scapegoat. As I stated clearly, in an earlier message, I will not continue this thread, as long as people stop posting me in private. Don't blame me for what is a group responsibility...you want to have your cake and eat it, too...well, I'm sorry, but I don't operate that way. Anyone who continues posting to me--either in the thread, or in private, is pushing the issue...then blames me for any reply! You can say anything you want to me, on the public thread...and you won't get my reply. You insist on sending me private mail, yet get upset when I respond publicly. So I said: Okay, I will not respond to any public comments in this thread, only I will reply to anyone who persists in private mail...and you already know this. So this is what you want: an excuse to bump me out...therefore, you perpetrate private mail, I respond, and voila! you have your scapegoat. But that doesn't change the truth one whit. Your attitude is not only hysterical, but mean-spirited. I have not heard a peep from anyone, criticizing your friend "satan"'s behavior, that put me in a position to speak out. Then for you and several others to condemn me, as if I were the antagonist, is ridiculous. Excuse me for disrupting your adoration of your wonderful Satan. I have never seen a more appropriate handle for the likes of him...he is on a power trip, and you suck up to it. Mea culpa, mea culpa! You should go to confession Saturday, and get your exorcise!

[S.u.S.E. Linux] Printer won't work in Star office

I can't print via Star Office 4.0 (the latest revision 3). It says "default postscript printer=lpr" (from memory here). My printer is an HP DeskJet 855C, and I installed it in SuSE 5.2 as a CDJ550. This has worked perfectly for all other applications. Ghostscript is installed. Any ideas?

[S.u.S.E. Linux] Further to Printing Problem in 5.2
by hlarons＠ComCAT.COM 24 May '98

24 May '98

I'm sorry if I didn't make myself clear the first time. The behavior when using "lpr filename" or "lpr -Pqueuename filename" is the error described below. When I try to print either ASCII or PS via the installed APSfilter, I get the message "getport: Unknown host 'BeagleDog' " BeagleDog is my machine name in /etc/HOSTNAME. Using a new and simplified printcap without the APSfilter gives the same results. I included the info on stairstepping just to show that the printer is connected to /dev/lp1 and is functioning. What I can't understand is how a "hostname" gets involved in the lpr or lpd processes. There's no remote printer physically, nor is one defined in printcap. -- Howard Arons -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

No one is being punished...I already explained: "the application of peer pressure". That is what has consistently, and effectively, been used throughout the history of online groups, including list servers and newsgroups. I am well aware of the democratic structure of the online communities. You cannot presume innocence of this history, or of peer pressure applied to a participant who has gotten out of hand. I do not care to get embroiled in any dialog, in private e-mail. It is a waste of time...for I then find myself repeating the same thing many times over, to *others who also want private dialog.

If they cease and desist their silly comments on me, I will not reply...hence, the topic will be over. As far as "satan's" presence: I believe I have successfully nipped this in the bud, even if some disagree with my approach. In short: it worked. Furthermore: from time to time, any online group may be forced to deal with outbursts such as "satan's"...and this is inevitable, and must be confronted, rather than accuse the victim of being in the wrong for pointing out an attack. Those who don't want to read what remains of this thread, can always put the subject header in their filter.

For two, I'd have to likewise send nasty messages in private, to any other participant, with whom I disagree. Do not expect any more messages from me, in this thread, as long as no one continues to send me *private dialog. Any further remarks made strictly in public (on the thread), I will not respond to.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] Problems sending mail
by srr03＠tid.es 23 May '98

Hi all. I am in a network without DNS, all of us have the /etc/hosts and work with that. Our problems are with the mail. We just can't send mail. When we execute 'mail xxx@yyy' it says: xxx@yyy... Deferred: Name server: yyy.domain.: host name lookup failure domain is the domain of the localhost. Well, there is an entry in /etc/hosts for yyy and yyy.domain: 193.0.0.2 yyy yyy.domain and 'telnet yyy' or 'ftp yyy' or simply 'ping yyy' works perfectle. Also this instructions work with yyy.domain. We don't have and don't need DNS, so I don't know why it looks for a nameserver. Also I've seen that it looks it is not a problem with sendmail, because when I shut down the sendmail daemon and execute 'mail...' it says exactly the same. Anyway I began to read the sendmail.cf and it's a nightmare. I don't know what to do. Anyone had this problem? I've looked in dejanews and nobody gave a complete answer to this question although many people had the same problem. Bye.

My policy, whenever wrongly attacked in newsgroups or lists, is to immediately place the offender's remarks into the public venue. This has never failed to tone down any idiot who thinks he can get away with posting abusive remarks to someone in private e-mail. He either quiets down, disappears (for a while at least), or is bumped out if he persists. I once had a rather nasty homophobe in a newsgroup, attack me in private mail. So I reposted his mail to the newsgroup, and he was most upset...accusing me of violating his "right to privacy". I told him, he lost all those rights by threatening me without any provocation on my part. The result? I nipped his spewing in the bud. Had I maintained a private venue, he would have continued to dump his bullcrap into my mailbox. I do not take it upon myself, to let anyone vent their hatred upon me...for I am no one's whipping post, on whatever issue. Ergo, I refuse to assume the duty of a social worker by allowing whatever fool to dump diatribe in my mail, without alerting the public. I find that peer pressure has never failed, in my experience regarding how to deal with such attacks from online groups. As to whether or not you need to see this...well, I think you do, since that is where the abusive party originates. AFAIK, "satan" is a regular contributor to this SuSE list. (If he has been so friendly and helpful to many people--as indeed he claims--then he has even less excuse for his arrogant attack upon me.) That way, report of his doings to "abuse(a)suse.com" will be performed by more than one participant, instead of just myself. Were I to respect "satan"'s wishes to keep his blathering private, I would just be doing exactly what he wants. Then, complaining to "abuse(a)suse.com" would be virtually ineffectual. Should he continue his abuse towards me: by my forwarding it to the list, he becomes witnessed by the public...and then several people who care enough, can report his abuse against another participant, to "abuse(a)suse.com". Those who are blaming me for pointing out his attack, are rather narrow-minded themselves (and wilfull accomplice to "satan")...though I'm sure they'd alert the group, if something similar happened to them. I will not reply to his spewing any more (and I never intended to, anyway)...that is the best I can offer you...but I *will forward anything else he sends to me in private, to this list...in hopes that he will be reprimanded by other participants herein, as well as reported to "abuse(a)suse.com", along with my complaint. I believe that my stance has already had the desired effect. The only arrogant replies I am currently receiving, is by several other participants, who are heaping the blame of "satan"'s attacks upon me, only because I made them aware of it. I do not see "satan" continuing his nasty behavior. Surely, you don't think "satan" should not be told to chill out, do you? What are you so afraid of, by telling him so? (I can't help but laugh over the fact he uses the handle "satan" in his e-mail. This puts me in the metaphorical position of wrestling with the devil!)

Using a new and simplified printcap without the APSfilter gives the same results. What's going on? I didn't think that communication with lpd involved loopback or a hostname at all. I thought YaST was supposed to handle this stuff :-( BTW, SuSE's support has not responded in a week. Is that about par for the course? -- Howard Arons -- 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] sane and HP scanner
by srmontg＠ibm.net 22 May '98

22 May '98

I am trying to get my 4P scanner running. I have compiled the kernel with general scsi support and installed sane. I have also linked it to /dev/scanner. However, when I configure YaST, it does not hink the device I chose is a scanner. Now, because of my other SCSI devices the scanner is at /dev/sg9. Is this a problem or is there something else I need to do? I was able to pull up xscanimage once, it didn't work, and now it won't even open.

by satan＠nfinity.com 22 May '98

Pasted this from linux-kernel, apologies to those who already recieve this, but I had problems running egcs and this confirms that it wasn't just me. I also have run gcc 2.8.0 and 2.8.1, both delivered less than satisfactory results. Hence SuSE still ships with gcc 2.7.2.1, which seems to do fine unless you want to run a recent dev kernel or use some apps and apis that require gcc 2.8.x/egcs, like GNUstep. Hopefully gcc or egcs will stabilize _Real_Soon_Now_, as the days left to the 2.0.x kernel are dwindling.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] YaST update problems continue (follow-up)
by lsayre＠integrityonline13.com 21 May '98

21 May '98

A few suggestions came in regarding letting the scripts get completed, and YaST will quit saying that it has unfinished business at start-up, and will quit auto launching itself. I let it sit for a good while (at least 20 minutes) when it said it was going to start running scripts, then pressed enter as requested and continued. When I finally got through YaST and completed loging in, I checked Ctrl-Alt-F9', where I was greeted with a blank screen. Then I read the /var/log/Config.bootup file, and everything in it ended with the statement 'done', and at the very end it said 'finished', yet when I reboot my system, YaST still launches every time and says it probably has unfinished business, only to never come up with any, and never do anything. PS: When it says it has scripts to run, it says these will begin in one minute, yet many minutes later there is still zero HD activity, and all the while a message saying "press enter to continue" (which appears in about a second, not in one minute) stares me in the face. Thanks to everyone for all the help so far! I'm not home yet, however.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] YaST update problems

I installed the new yast update for SuSE 5.2 (version 0.89.3 I believe) which I found on the SuSE FTP site. To install I used the command: rpm -i --force yast.rpm It seems to have installed properly, and all functions appear to be working normally, yet every time I re-boot my system I get a message saying effectively that 'YaST appears to still have things to configure, so I will simply re-start it :), followed by YaST.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] S.u.S.E. install does not have my CD-ROM
by ezekielk＠sj.bigger.net 20 May '98

20 May '98

Hello. I purchased S.u.S.E. Linux 5.2, because I have been told it is the most user friendly Linux version of all. And it just arrived this morning. However, right at the beginning of install, to my dismay, my CD-ROM was not on the list of CD-ROMs to select! They only have three EIDE selections, with the rest all SCSI. What happened to my "sbpcd" option I expected? Of course, when I select any EIDE option, Linux says it can't find my CD-ROM. I have test-installed both Slackware and Redhat, prior to S.u.S.E....so I know very well that the "sbpcd" CD-ROM should be recognizable. In fact, it is even listed as acceptable, in their own S.u.S.E. manual! But nowhere is there an answer in the manual, as to how to install, using the "sbpcd" option. (Likewise for their online help docs at www.suse.com.) Did someone make a mistake here, by neglecting to include "sbpcd" on the selection list of CD-ROMs? I can't believe they did this! After all, knowing for sure that my type of CD-ROM is definitely acceptable in Linux...I never dreamed their "user-friendly" S.u.S.E. installation would leave this out! I am stuck without knowing what to do about this...and rather disappointed. Is anyone familiar with installing S.u.S.E. 5.2 from CD-ROM?

I'm sorry, but *you* didn't get this... The sbpcd driver is a *module*, which means that you don't need to use a kernel with sbpcd in it, you just have to load the module with linuxrc (it even has a autoload or autodetect or something, which loads _all_ the modules with autodetection - a great feature for newbies!) ! The manual certainly is the very best I've ever seen about distributions !!!!

[S.u.S.E. Linux] 5.2 install
by phil＠servcom.com 20 May '98

20 May '98

I received my 5.2 disks Friday and spent a couple of rather pleasant hours installing it Sunday over NT 3.51 on a P166, 32Mb, 1.5Gb stock Toshiba Infinia Desktop. In all, this is the least complex S.u.S.E. installation I've ever done (of a total of 5 or so). There were a few delays assoicated with Plug-and-Play, but yAST did quite well and was pretty good about letting me know what was up next. I compiled several kernels, all of which worked, in getting around the PNP problem. I got a couple of unexpected errors with 'make modules' but the vital stuff is in the kernel...it's on the LAN, it talks to the machines it needs to pretty much out of the box. Thanks are due the S.u.S.E. folks: 5 was good, 5.2 is hot, actually looking forward to 6. p. mannie -- Hell, by the time a man scratches his ass, clears his throat and tells me how smart he is, we've already wasted fifteen minutes! --Lyndon B.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] Recurring Printer Problem
by pbnt＠mindspring.com 20 May '98

20 May '98

Okay, this is about the third or fourth time I've run into this problem. It usually starts with me trying to print from Applix...the result is that the spooler hangs up. I finally end up restarting Linux and have no files in the spool. But then lpr won't print. In fact, I can't find any activity in either lpq or lpc. I've tried starting, stopping, cleaning, restarting, aborting, enabling, etc. All to no avail. The last few times I have _fixed_ this by having another problem crop up that required reinstalling Linux. But I would like to fix this without a total reinstall. I would appreciate any and all suggestions. Thanks. Phil Bennett "Give a man a fish and you feed him for today.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] ls for maniacs
by jonathan＠aracnet.net 19 May '98

19 May '98

Dumb question; I'm trying to run a script that will give me the files in one of my XFMail folders for *today only*. How can I filter the output of ls thus? This is a crazy workaround I found... #!/bin/bash # wacky command line to cat the LATEST of all the files to a text file cat `ls -t -r ~/Mail/Pilot/? ~/Mail/Pilot/?? | gawk 'END { print $0 }' - ` > tempmail.txt The problem is that this only gives ONE file for today, I'd like a few. I know the END chunk kinda foils that... it just seems that this is getting way too complex for something that really shouldn't be. (I'm grabbing the latest PalmPilot digest and want to compile it to a compressed document format and zing it over) Any better ideas? --- jonathan(a)aracnet.net "The wages of sin are death; but after they're done taking out taxes, it's just a tired feeling:" -- 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] Help with PCMCIA card services
by arunkhan＠xnet.com 19 May '98

19 May '98

I have installed SuSE 5.2 (1CD demo version given at Spring Comdex) on my laptop. I have a Infotel ne2k PCMCIA card (OEM'd by D-LINK model 650ct). Under Win95 the irq/io is 11,0x300 and under Linux it is 3,0x300. In Win 95, I manually set (using the Device Manager) to 11 so that I could use irq 3 for the COM port . However, in Linux the irq is 3 and io is 0x300 and things work fine. I can ping, ftp, telnet other nodes. When I use the option irq=11 io=0x300 in /etc/conf.modules the card is not detected. I suspect irq, io port negotiation is done during card services init. Is there a way to set irq,io manually during card services init?

Get a *real* Windowmanager... like KDE (if you're a newbie), Enlightenment (for fun) or WindowMaker (for productivity) Why is that fvwm2 still with Linux ? It's ugly, it's nasty to configure, it's buggy (yep... or am I the only one whose mouse sometimes isn't able to pop any menues any more)... Even AfterStep is a lot better and more stable... (although you can delete it from your HD too, now... if you want some NeXT, try WindowMaker) - [ KDE ] isn't bad, especially for people who come from Windows... it's easier to get used to, and has some very nice features (such as KDM - really nice), but it's still buggy :-( - [ Enlightenment ] is *the* WindowManager... that's the one you have to show Windows users who think that X-Window sucks, but I agree, it's very buggy too, and a little heavy (although Rasterman and Mandrake are totally re-writing it... in C++ I think :-))) should be out soon) - and it's even with S.u.S.E. 5.2 !!!! (they really should have put Eterm and some themes, too, but you can download all that) - [ WindowMaker ] (I use the new 0.14.1) is excellent: it's NeXT-ish, beautiful, very easily configurable, done in C++ (based on GNUstep), very few bugs, very fast and light... magnificent, really !!! it's a pity it isn't in S.u.S.E. 5.2, but I'm sure they'll put it in 6.0 and, anyway, it's easy to install... just follow the instructions... it took me less than 5 minutes (including compilation :)) Pascal /nick SuSE52 on #linux (IRCnet) root on www.student.prov-liege.be "Linux is obsolete" A.

I have just received an old Sun Sparc IPX. I am able to boot it and it gets stuck looking for the network connection and nameserver. I have connected an old scsi cdrom, and put in my SuSE boot disk, but it will only look at the hard drive for booting. I have a few questions First, how do I boot a cdrom or floppy?? How can I install SuSE Linux on it?? Do I have to compile a kernel on an intel based machine to boot the sparc?? Is there a BIOS or CMOS on the sparc that I could modify??

[S.u.S.E. Linux] Problems configuring XFree86
by fmc＠redestb.es 17 May '98

17 May '98

Hello friends. I have worked in the last year with REDHAT 4.1,4.2 and 5.0. A while ago I decided to install SuSE Linux 5.1 and all work fine. I didn't configure Xfree86 because i knew that it didn't support my graphic card ATI RAGE PRO 3D AGP. When finding out that the version existed SuSE 5.2 that if it supported this graphic card I have installed it (I have installed the configuration XExtend-Extends XFree86 system) without problems except with the XFree86. Well from Yast, (a good utility) or putting from the prompt (entering as root) xf86config have gone giving him the data of my mouse, graphic card, monitor, etc., etc. Now when I try to execute startx it leaves me a message that says: "The file XF86_xxxx (binary of X-Server) doesnŽt seem to be a binary file. Please check it or / and install a new X-Seerver-binary. IŽm aborting now" For sure it is a foolishness, something evident that for my lack of experience with Linux SuSE have passed for high but I request you your help . Sorry for my Inglish.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] RealAudio installation pointers needed.
by lsayre＠integrityonline13.com 16 May '98

16 May '98

This newbie could use some help in configuring RealAudio 5.0 for SuSE Linux 5.2. The RealAudio instructions say to edit the '.profile' file and add a path statement. I can't find a '.profile' file for 'root', so I entered the path statement from the command line. When I type 'echo $PATH' the path to rvplayer is shown to be there, yet when I type 'which rvplayer' I get no response back. Instructions also say to move library files to the appropriate 'lib'. What does this mean? I've added the appropriate entries under "applications" for Netscape Communicator 4.04, so the RealAudio player launches, but as it stands now, when I launch a RealAudio web site, the RealAudio player appears, but shows connected to 000.000.etc..., and just sits there doing nothing.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] Diamond Multi Media Monster M80 Sound Card

16 May '98

I've recently installed 5.2.and in general I am a newbie and have been tinkering with a couple of distributions though SuSE is going to be particularly helpful as I now can see what to expect. At this point I have no sound card(the Acer s20 I have has never functioned under even my OS/2) so I'd like to buy a card more current. The AWE64 is supported, but when I almost purchased a non-retail one in ISA last week one of the guys I spoke to suggested the Monster M80(PCI) as being the choice for sound output and that was confirmed buy a gamer I spoke to later. I have been unable to find anything on this card, that is will it work under linux, even if at reduced capability(the card difference between the one I was going to buy and it was about $25(US) so I thought it a good choice but I do want something for a 100 bucks) Also, as I recently bought a used Wincast/TV-dbx I might actually have a TV for the first time in a while! An idiot box to go along with my Linux box :-) Creative now has a PCI card, but I'd like to get the most for the money; does anyone have any experience with the Diamond?

Please link the files as mentioned above or install the X-server and run xf86config again. I'm aborting now. Needless to say, there is no such above mention as to how to link it. Sorry if you think this question is extremely basic, but I don't really know what to do. I've tried so far a RH 5.0 distribution, and it worked ok.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] Vexing modem problem
by kf＠wa.net 15 May '98

15 May '98

I recently installed Suse linux 5.2 ( my first linux experience) and thanks to the help of many of the messages to this group I was able to get PPP working. The problem is that it is my connection is too slow, when I ping my ISP I get pings of around 400ms! when I ping from the same computer from NT ( I'm writing this from work)I get pings of around 120ms . The odd thing is however if I first use minicom , disconnect then connect (either by chat script or kppp) the connection is much improved with pings at abut 170-190ms, still not as good as my NT but at least something to work with. I suppose I could do it that way forever, but I think you would agree that that's not very elegant. My modem is a USR X2 internal , not setup as plug & play (com2 irq3). So far I've tried playing with initialization strings, that helps a tiny bit but not enough. Obviously minicom is initializing some thing that I am overlooking. I've spent a lot of time trying to figure this out but as a Linux newbie , I'm having a hard enough time with just the basics.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] YaST errors
by bmessin＠3-cities.com 15 May '98

15 May '98

YaST has begun to give me some problems. When YaST tries to update the system files it gives an error message several times that says cannot locate /lib/YaST/SuSEconfig.functions!! This should not happen. I am running 5.1, but I just installed Yast v.89 and the suseppp.rpm package. I should have left well enough alone -- I had ppp working before this, but no more. I am also getting messages to the console when running pppd that say something about the kernel not supporting IPX protocal. What's that about? I don't know WHY it thinks it needs IPX support. Please help if you can. Thanks. -Ben -- 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] KDE upgrade porblems
by kf＠wa.net 15 May '98

15 May '98

Hi, I need some help with KDE. I currently have KDE beta 3 installed on my SuSE 5.2, I wanted to upgrade to beta 4 so I downloaded the rpms from the Suse site installed them via Yast, but when I select select KDE as my window manager it loads & looks fine, but is completely frozen, the mouse can move around and I can move & close the 1 xtem window but none of the KDE menus will pop-up. So far I've tried Uninstalling KDE then reinstalling it new (beta 4) Uninstalling KDE deleting the directory on /opt/kde Upgrading the qt libraries to 1.33 (although I believe that they are already included in the Suse rpms) In all cases the result is the same, a KDE desk top were nothing works, Fortunately I can reinstall beta 3 that is the Suse cd and everything works fine (in beta3) Any suggestions?

[S.u.S.E. Linux] Configuration of three things
by tschaefe＠mindspring.com 14 May '98

14 May '98

I have tried to find simple examples of what to do, but to no avail. 1. PPP If Linux is to somehow overtake Win95, an interface to configure PPP should present itself. I don't have time to wade through an endless dialog on how to set up PPP. Is there a one-stop doc for setting up ppp? WITH EXAMPLES? How many months will it take for me to simply set up the modem to dial my ISP and log in, and connect me to the internet? In WinNT and Win95 I'd be done long ago. Yast is INCOMPLETE for setting up my modem. It simply isn't finished. 2. Scanner I have an HP scanner. It's recognized by the hardware, and the yast program says it's there, but where's the software to USE the scanner? 3. Jazz Drive I have an internally installed SCSI Jazz drive ( 1 GB ). It's known to the system as /dev/sdb4 . Do I mount it? Samba it? How do I get my Jazz drive to work with Linux? Can somebody show me the correct mount command? I do not sit in front of my Linux box for hours wading through the wrong docs on what to do simply because I don't have the time. I'd really appreciate some simple CLEAR and unabstract docs with examples. What's really surprising is that Yast isn't in Tcl, and that there isn't a GUI interface to configure the modem, or a scanner, or a Jazz drive. And here I am STILL using NT for my email. Sigh.

Yes, of course, that's very clear in my mind... I don't really need a secure connection, because I administrate (with 2 other guys) the students' server of the highschool I'm in (my last year), and we are on a LAN that is behind a firewall (which we don't control - the administrator of the highschool's network does :-( ). We can't access our mailbox on the webserver (that is "besides" the firewall, not behind it, of course) because the administrator doesn't want to open the POP3 port on the firewall (dunno why... maybe he can't ;-))... So, we needed a solution like www-mail... It doesn't really need to be secure, because it's the students' mailbox anyway... But I might (although I don't think I'll have the time :-( ) try Apache SSL... Pascal /nick SuSE52 on #linux (IRCnet) root on www.student.prov-liege.be -----Original Message----- From: Andrew L.

Well, certainly a lot :)) A very neat feature that comes with Apache is "virtual hosts", which gives you the possibility to change the site root depending on the name (or the IP) used to access the server... a) put CNAME's in the DNS server e.g. CNAME www venus CNAME linux venus b) configure Apache properly (take a look at "virtual") c) when the server is contacted through www.your.domain.org it'll point to /usr/local/httpd/htdocs/www linux.your.domain.org it'll point to /usr/local/httpd/htdocs/linux this being just an example, of course... what's a "ballpark" ? :( Pascal /nick SuSE52 on #linux (IRCnet) root on www.student.prov-liege.be -----Original Message----- From: Michael Clark <mclark(a)datsrvr.datsit.com> To: suse-linux-e <suse-linux-e(a)suse.com> Date: jeudi 14 mai 1998 01:47 Subject: [S.u.S.E.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] XF86 w/ 1600 X 1200,73HZ, but no 24 bpp
by hattons＠CPKWEBSER5.ncr.disa.mil 13 May '98

13 May '98

Hi Folks, I finally broke down and read enough documentation to figure out how to tweak my XF86Config file so that I get 1600 X 1200 at 73HZ. I am very happy, and so are my eyes. 60hz can cause migraine. Really! Any how, I am still having problems with the 24 bpp. I have a Matrox Millennium II w/ 8M. I get vertical lines in the display that are very obtrusive when I set the color depth to 24 bpp. I found some information in the readme about this kind of a problem. It said that I may need to adjust my HTotal setting +/- 8. The way I read the documentation the HTotal is the value 2160 in the following: Modeline "1600x1200" 196.00 1600 1664 1856 2160 1200 1201 1204 1250 +hsync I moved that up and down, to no avail. I still get those ugly vertical lines. Any suggestions?

Re: [S.u.S.E. Linux] account ftp without a shell
by pbleser＠prov-liege.be 12 May '98

12 May '98

I had that problem too... *- add "/bin/false" to the /etc/shells file *- for those users that aren't allowed to log in with telnet, replace their shell with "/bin/false" There seems to be *no* other way to do that based on accounts. You can deny certain services, depending on the address with /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny, which are used by the tcpd wrapper... but that *doesn't* work for accounts :-( Notice that /bin/false has to be in /etc/shells, because wu.ftpd checks for that when the user logs in on FTP... if the user has a shell that is not in /etc/shells, he won't be able to log in... I spent some time wondering why before someone told me that :-) Anyway, the solution I give you above works very well, even if you do have to edit the /etc/passwd file... If you administrate a server, try WebMin, it's great !!! You can control almost everything on the server, using a browser from a remote machine !! (adding/changing/removing accounts, starting/restarting/stopping network services or daemons, adding startup scripts, quota accounting, NFS exports, Samba configuration, ... ... ...) <A HREF="http://www.webmin.com/"><A HREF="http://www.webmin.com/</A">http://www.webmin.com/</A</A>> - and, of course, it's for Linux only, FREE and *very* easy to install ! With that tool, you can choose the user's shell (just like with YaST) from a listbox...

[S.u.S.E. Linux] pppd damon crashing : can't get onto net

I'm using kppp (under KDE) in SuSE 5.2 to try and log onto the net (using PAP), but every time I connect I get a message saying 'pppd' crashed suddenly (or something to this effect). Any ideas? PS: I'm a newbie, and havn't been able to log onto the net at all under Linux.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] Problem whit Yast.
by fmc＠redestb.es 12 May '98

Hello friends. Up to now REDHAT 5.0 worked with Linux and I have substituted it for SuSE 5.1. Well, when I finish installing all that I need and boot linux appears a message that it tells me that Yast doesn't finish carrying out the installation, it loads of the CD number 1 and later it tells me that everything has concluded. As I can avoid that every time that Linux pulls up SuSe 5.1 it indicates me the same thing? Have I maybe made some error? As I can solve it?

[S.u.S.E. Linux] Diald configuration
by cparman＠cyberramp.net 12 May '98

12 May '98

Hi All, I'm quite pleased with SuSE 5.2 (Being a RedHat die-hard ever since 2.0) this distribution is extremely well thought out and put together in such a manner that leaves me smiling. Well with that said, I shall get straight to the point of this e-mail post. I'm trying to get Diald to function properly, I re-compiled the 2.0.33 kernel and enabled SLIP as a module (I have re-compiled kernels a gazillion times and most, if not all were successfull) So my compacity for kernel compiliation is quite good :) Unfortunatly, I get a disturbing message during bootup (Shown below), I have copied the two necessary files from ' /usr/doc/packages/diald/config' to '/etc'. I did not edit these files, intuitively I do not think they need to be edited in any way. Also, I configured PPP through YAST filling in the appropriate fields and 'checking' the 'Diald' box (I'm somewhat sure I filled out the fields correctly). Without further hesitation the following message is shown below. ******************************************************************************** May 4 21:23:08 TheWave syslogd 1.3-0: restart.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] How to define module optios for 2 NE2000 NICs
by arunkhan＠xnet.com 11 May '98

11 May '98

I have installed SuSE 5.2 on a system with 2 NE2000 (ISA clones) (IRQ,I/O are NIC1 5,0x300 and NIC2 10,0x320). [I have also built a non-modular kernel and pass the parameters thru the append directive in LILO. This works fine. However, I would like to understand how to use the "ne" modules as an alternative] During installation and subesquent reboots the first card is recognized correctly but not much luck with the 2nd NIC. Relevant entry in /etc/conf.modules for the NIC is: alias eth0 ne ....further down the file.... options ne io=0x300 irq=5 I would appreciate if some one could show me how to pass the parameters for the 2nd NIC vi /etc/conf.modules.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] "Connection refused" by S.u.S.E.-5.1
by Ted.Harding＠nessie.mcc.ac.uk 11 May '98

11 May '98

Hi Folks, I am taken aback by the following. Last night, while a big thunderstorm was building up, I took down (using "shutdown -h" in a proper manner) and switched off our 3 machines: two RedHat and one S.u.S.E.-5.1 This morning it is fine and sunny and I have switched them all on and rebooted them. Anything can telnet to either of the two Red Hat machines. Nothing can telnet to the S.u.S.E. machine (nor ftp nor ... ): the result is always "Connection refused". Even "telnet localhost" or "telnet 192.168.0.1" (its IP address) from the machine itself gets "Connection refused". Does anyone have an idea what may have happened here? I've been in the LInux game for years and reckon I know what I'm doing; but this one has me beat. Everything was fine before. I've looked in /etc/SuSEconfig, I've run /sbin/SuSEconfig, I've been into YaST. Still stuck. I hope it's not a flaw in S.u.S.E.: if so, as far as I'm concerned it would mean curtains for an otherwise apparently fine distribution. /etc/hosts.allow looks OK: (ALL EXCEPT in.fingerd) EXCEPT in.identd : ALL : (safe_finger -l @%h 2>&1| \ /bin/mail -s "0-%h 0" root) & /etc/hosts.deny also looks OK: http-rman : ALL EXCEPT LOCAL Outputs from "ifconfig" and "route" look fine. All help and useful comment appreciated.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] Toshiba laptop vga, 16 colors, SuSE, X and Netscape
by pwlwcz＠ibm.net 10 May '98

10 May '98

Hello, I'm having great fun with SuSE 5.1 on my Toshiba t1910cs laptop. It's a 486 sx w/ 12mb ram and a 16 color 640x480 vga display. I'm having problems with Navigator 3.04 however, that I don't understand. I am limited by my 200 mb hard drive so I installed only what I thought I really needed. I used YAST and made sure all dependencies were O.K. X works great-how does XV take a high color .jpg photo and manage to show it so well on a 16 color display??? XV is cool... Netscape on the other hand is having all kinds of trouble. I figured I would just start it with the "-mono" option, (this is kind of neat--try it) and let it just make do in black and white. When i start it I get a terrible long list of x-errors, failed requests mostly "BadDrawable", "invalid pixmap or window parameter" and "Bad gc" or something similar. It does finally open and it seems to function somewhat. The navigation buttons are tiny little things about 1mm square and there's no big "N" in the corner. I have used navigator with vga before, it wasn't pretty but I didn't get errors. I even dug out an old 2.02 version and tried that, it does the same stuff. Arena opens just fine and I can't really say that I've had trouble with anything other than Navigator. I only have 256k of video ram and 12mb of system ram and a 15+/- mb swap partition. Do I need to install some kind of mystery widget/pixmap package or is my laptop just incapable of feeding the big "N"? I tried loading with the "-install" option and "-ncols ..." all I get is a few x-errors ending in a big door slammin' bus error. Any ideas?

When I use the Mouseman+ driver, the wheel acts as my middle button, but no scrolling action. When I try the intellimouse driver it is really screwy.

My question is: does anyone know if I can get this program for Linux? Or is there another that can take it's place? Also Postbank has it only in German. Does anyone know if it can be found in English? Thanks JIM ----------------------------------------- Jim Hatridge Germany hatridge(a)straubing.baynet.de M$ -- Ghostdriver* on the road to the future!

I am new to this list and am not yet a S.u.S.E user. However, I have watched the S.u.S.E product line grow, am impressed with their X-Server work, etc. So I am thinking of switching from Debian - any advice/comments?

[S.u.S.E. Linux] intranet setup
by mclark＠datsrvr.datsit.com 08 May '98

08 May '98

My employer has finally heard enough of my bragging about linux and wants to see what it can do. I need to set up an intranet. I am having trouble finding good docs on Apache. Any hints??? Do I make the intranet server the nameserver? Do I need a certain daemon running to be a nameserver, or just tell all the boxes that it is?? I installed the apache from the CD's, how do I administer it now?? Can I set up multiple domains served, or do I need a separate IP for each separate domain?? The sooner I can show results, the better. Help!! I found the docs that came with apache, and I just might have to uninstall the rpm and install the source so I can follow the directions verbatim. If it comes down to it, I will have to buy Netscape Fasttrack Server. I have used that and it's easy!! thanks in advance mc -- 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] Can't get PPP working
by braden＠shadow.net 08 May '98

Okay, I've been through YaST; I've put my ISP's DNS IP in /etc/resolv.conf ... and still no dice. When I run /etc/suseppp/scripts/ppp-up generic nothing happens. I just get a blinking cursor and have to hit Ctrl-C. When I attempt to run kPPP, it dials the modem just fine, but hands on "starting pppd". (To top it off, it even hangs when I try to quit after such a session, and I have to kill it.) I dunno what to do at this point. Prismatic Booger Braden N.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] Printer Disappearance
by pbnt＠mindspring.com 08 May '98

08 May '98

Excuse me if this is a duplicate but I've been having problems getting my messages sent. What I'm writing about today is that sudden...this week...disability of my printer(lpr, ascii, raw). When I send a command I hear the HD run for a few moment. I check lpq and get "no entry". I check lpc and all printers are idle, no spool. I've tried reinstalling from YaST. I've check aspfilter and everything looks okay. I've tried stopping and restarting lpc, as well as cleaning. Yes, the printer works okay otherwise (even on w95). I'm stumped. Is there something I'm missing? Thanks, Phil Bennett -- 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] Newbie needs help with PPP
by kf＠wa.net 08 May '98

I installed Suse Linux 5.2 about 2 weeks ago, as this is my first try at Linux please excuse ignorance on my part, I've read and re-read the f***** manual. The problem is that I am able establish a connection to my ISP ( I've used both a chat script and kpp) but I can't do anything, (e.g. ping). Ifconfig shows that I have a PPP connection running, I check In var/log/messages and don't see any glaring error messages, I think that the problem might be in the resolv.conf file as my ISP uses dynamic I.P. numbers I've set the nameserver at 0.0.0.0 I don't know if this is correct and my ISP is no help at all.
