[S.u.S.E. Linux] Installing to a DK440LX SCSI system
by braden＠shadow.net 23 Apr '98

23 Apr '98

After throwing up my hands at Red Hat 5 (CD didn't have the drivers to recognize the AIC-7895 on this motherboard), I have ordered the latest SuSE distribution with high hopes. Here is the setup: Intel DK440LX, 9 GB SCSI hard disc, SCSI CD-ROM drive The first 4 GB of the drive are currently an NTFS partition on which I have installed Windows NT. The rest of the disc is where I plan to install Linux. I have a few questions before I dive into this... Can anyone tell me with certainty if the 5.2 distribution will recognize my SCSI controller? Will I be able to boot from the CD to install? Will the kernel that ships with 5.2 mount an NTFS partition? I'd really perfer not to create any extraneous FAT partition just to get the thing working right--will I be able to avoid that? What sort of incantations will I have to perform to get multiple boot between the two OSes working? I'm also using a Permedia2-based graphics card (this is another thing that pushed me toward SuSE)... Anything I should know about setting up the X server for this board (specifically, it's a Hercules Dynamite 3D/GL)? Prismatic Booger Braden N.

Hubert, Peter & Darren, Since you Hubert and Peter answered my most important questions and since the delay is due to SuSE's presence on the Comdex - I bet your OS didn't block when you connected a scanner to it - I don't see a reason to postpone further the buy of SuSE's Linux distribution.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] Ensonique AudioPCI/OSS
by misc.word.corp＠pobox.com 23 Apr '98

23 Apr '98

I've been trying to run OSS to configure my Ensonique AudioPCI soundcard, but I get the following error messages on ". /oss-install" rmmod soundbase device loaded or in use rmmod soundshield device loaded or in use OSS driver is already loaded ./soundconf: line 111: 1074 Segmentation fault. Use soundoff to unload it and try again. Of course, executing soundoff has no effect, because no OSS driver is loaded at this point. I'm using the current, Webpage version of OSS (*not* the version shipped with 5.2) because it supports Ensonique AudioPCI. I've also installed all the packages in the sound section (midi support, etc) -- perhaps I should delete these packages and try again. Any solutions or ideas from anybody, or from Bodo, et. al. ? Otherwise, 5.2 is fantastic. Can't wait for 6. Glenn -- 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, I'm a new user of S.U.S.E 5.2. My computer don't have a 'normal' floppy but a LS-120. Then when the installation is completed how to create a boot on my LS-120 to let reboot on this fresh new install ?

[S.u.S.E. Linux] Question about kernel options and GTK
by suse＠wavenet.it 23 Apr '98

23 Apr '98

I would like to know which options were set (Yes-No-Module) when people at S.u.S.E. compiled the kernel (2.0.33 - no SCSI) packaged with SuSE 5.1 distribution. I would like to compile an application that requires GTK 1.0. Unfortunately, SuSE 5.1 installs GTK 0.97 so I downloaded and compiled successfully GTK 1.0 but when I tried to remove my old GTK, I got an error saying that libgtk.so.1, libglib.so.1 and libgdk.so.1 are needed by gimp-0.99.15-4. If I force GTK 0.97 removal, and install GTK 1.0, would GIMP complain about the new libraries or not? Thanks for your help.

I don't work for SUSE (actually, I haven't gotten around to configuring a SUSE system yet), but you questions can be answered on generally basis. The drivers and the kernel module loading/unloading are standard linux kernel features, and should be present (or at least possible) in all linux distributions.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] XFree86
by hattons＠CPKWEBSER5.ncr.disa.mil 23 Apr '98

23 Apr '98

I have some questions regarding XFree86. 1) Can anybody tell me if it is likely that the support for Matrox Millennium II cards might be improved so that the card can be used to their full capabilities? Right now the color depth and refresh rates are far below what the card can handle. 2) Is it possible that the problem that I and others have with long downloads "going to sleep" in netscape could be related to XFree86? 3) Stardivision says that some people don't have the dreaded PS/2 bug. Could it be that this problem is related to the windows driver? Dee, You don't use XFree86, do you have problems with a PS/2 mouse and StarOffice 4.0? You said that you don't have a problem with Netscape going to sleep on long ftp downloads.

Hy there I've just downloaded the new kernel 2.1.97 to try it out. I read the softwarerequirements and saw that it is necessary to upgrade very much. Will the system be instable when I install all this new stuff (especially the new glibc ....) ?? Is there somebody who tryed it ?? I'm running S.u.S.E. 5.1. There are two additional question to all the guys from SuSE. Will the next Version (5.3 ??) depend on glibc/libc6 ?? And, will you include the free simulation software Ptolemy in one of the next releases ??

But Michael has the same problem with the color depth. He writes that it is necessary to switch the /etc/Xaccell.ini file for the actual needs. It seems to be that wabi can't handle depths above 8 bit. There is a section in the manual which describes how to run wabi under 24 bit. But this description means that the display must support PseudoColor in this mode. I found out that for 16 bit only TrueColor as "Visual Class" is supported. If I'm wrong please correct me. It seems to be that this is the reason for the failure. Anyhow, thanks for your fast help.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] Linux databases with OS/2 or Java clients
by slk＠grace.acm.rpi.edu 21 Apr '98

21 Apr '98

<PRE> Does anybody know of a Linux database (really needs to have commercial support) with either Java or OS/2 clients? I know Adabas won't have a full java client until (I've been told) 1Q99 or so, and the Informix port is still mainly a rumor. (and wouldn't be ready until at least then anyway) Do the Adabas windows clients (from experience) run well under Win-OS2 (preferably both Warp 3 and 4, though just Warp 4 would be okay too) Another option would possibly be DB2 for SCO running under iBCS... has anybody had success (or failure) with this? I'm not sure I like the idea too much though, especially if they (later) only support Unixware (or whatever the latest iteration from SCO is called) Cost is not a major issue, but stability and either OS/2 or Java clients is.

An interesting bit of info for LS-120 users or those who are considering purchasing one. I have discovered that my LS-120 drive is up to 10X faster at certain tasks then win(?)95. I was really surprised at the degree to which the drive was faster under Linux. I had been completely disappointed with the performance under win(?)95 and was considering dumping the drive altogether. I wrote a 10MB file to the LS-120 4X under Linux 4X faster then it took to read a 4MB file from the LS-120 and copy it to the hard drive. I have one question.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] A dream come true
by pepr＠videotron.ca 20 Apr '98

For all those who desperately needed a professionnal IDE to make there developpement in java under Linux, the wait is over. Just take a look at this tool called "Wipeout" at: <A HREF="http://www.softwarebuero.de/wipeout-eng.html"><A HREF="http://www.softwarebuero.de/wipeout-eng.html</A">http://www.softwarebuero.de/wipeout-eng.html</A</A>> Sorry for all those Windows friend but there is no Win32 version. I am sure you will be happy for us that for once we have something that you don't have. In my opinion if you are a serious java programmer, this IDE alone is enough to switch to Linux. It will not replace Freebuilder if the people that seem to have appropriate it for themself ever release it in the community, but at least, in the mean time, we will have something to code it in. And something so well designed that the bar have raised quite a bit higher to compete with. Here are just a few of the features: 1: Smalltalk like classbrowser;(not that ugly, always in the way, tree simily browser). See all the classes of your project at once; click on any class ant see all the methods in another pane, click on any method and get right there in the source. 2: Graphical front end for the JDB debugger. Set breakpoint visualy, inspect variables, step in code, name it. 3: Graphical front end for CVS version control. Make changes everywhere in a project and if it doesn't work roll back to a working version. Not to mention the workgroup possibility of CVS fully supported. 4: Entirely configurable, through regular expression, pretty printing in the editor with font, bolt italic and regular and custom color. And as a bonus the pretty printing is even supported for the printer with, as an extra bonus, a print preview. 5: All the documentation very well done in html with html reader build in. Does not support java documentation yet but if we are enough java developers to ask, who know. P.S. I am not related to sofwarebuero in any ways. Just very enthusiastic to have found something I have been looking for in the last two years. -- 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] gcc libraries
by scurran＠aracnet.net 20 Apr '98

20 Apr '98

In order to learn about the differences in the different distributions I have loaded and worked four types of Linux. With two I have been unable to get gcc to link files. Can anyone tell me what libraries or files are needed by gcc to link files. I think this may be the problem? Suse worked fine but redhat 4.2, 5.0 and Caldera all failed to compile and link. I ran them on a P150 cpu, if that helps and loaded everything on the CDs. Except for ppp and Netscape I really think suse is the way to go. PPP is now one but I still cannot get Netscape to find the modem.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] Printing under Applixware

Hi, I have just installed the Applixware package on my linux box, which runs with SuSE ver 5.1. Unfortunately i couldn't figure out how to print from Applixware. I always get the message "Printjob failured, trying to print in foreground" and nothing comes out. I use lpd and apsfilter at my system, it works fine with all others applications, so that the problem might be with the applixware configuration. I read the sys-admin online handbook without finding any way to solve it. Does someone has already a similar problem or can help me to figure it out ? I'll be pleased about every help.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] SuSE Linux 5.2 and Open Sound

I have a registred version of OSS Sound for Linux. The installation went smoothly under SuSE Linux 5.1. However, I installed SuSE Linux 5.2, and during the installation (step: veryfying the kernel), I receive an error message (see below). I am using the same oss driver: osslinux381q-20x.tar.gz.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] LS 120 Support in SuSE 5.0
by chris123＠netcom.ca 17 Apr '98

17 Apr '98

Greetings Need some info please. Tried to install my old vesrion of SuSE 5.0 on my friends computer (this way he could have the manual, disc set ext....and I could keep my 5.1 set) but ran into some problems. Could solve most of them other than the LS 120 not being recognized by Yast install program and the Xserver requirement (Rage Pro chip set) The Xserver was addressed and solved. However when you partition the drive with Yast you need to store the file system on a disc and reboot for the changes to take effect. However the LS 120 is not recognized by Yast. I solved this by removing the hard drive (luckily it was portable) and partitioned on a 486 backup machine with a standard floppy. So here are my two questions. Im assuming that the newest versions of Yast support the LS120 drives, yes or no? Secondly is there a way to get the new version of Yast integrated into the 5.0 install procedures. The only thing I can think of is to transfer the latest version of Yast to the machine via a zip drive but this is putting the horse befor the cart as a Linux OS would not be installed yet. I would like to be able to recycle the older versions of SuSE but this is complicated by hardware issues. By the way my buddy lives some 500 km away and nows nothing about Linux. Hence I need to do all this upfront. Yes I know 5.1 can so all this but this is not the point. I am trying to figure out a way to recycle the not so current versions. Similar issues will come up with 5.1 after 5.2 international version is released. Any ideas would be appreciated.

I would assume some packages will work. However, as you go to 6.0 with glibc, I imagine some compatability of binaries will break. Is there ever an implicit assumption of package binary compatability, or when mix/matching distributions are "all bets off"? - Can one upgrade from SuSE 5.1 to SuSE 5.2 without acquiring the CD-ROMs? While I would like to encourage everyone to support this wonderful operating system as much as possible, I am somewhat loathe to plunk down another 40-50$ for something i bought just 2 months ago or so. (Do not think too poorly of me! I sponsored a new linux user into SuSE just last month, ie. 25$ each). In addition, my main SuSE system is miles and miles from here and rather inconvenient to approach physically, while it has a very speedy network connection. By reading through the SuSE book it seems that if i have the CD-ROM media and a boot disk that I could indeed use YaST to update update the entirety of the base system, and then proceed to boot up under the new base and update the remaining packages. I can consider this, should my other options fail. I understand that it is necessary to have an alternate set of system files for updating purposes. The 'normal' method being the supplied CD-ROM. The README.FTP file outlines a method supplied using hard links, if I properly understand things. Surprisingly, this file only talks about NFS, not FTP. Is this a 'legacy' thing, or is it possible to use FTP and I'm just a complete dunderhead? Lastly, if it truly is only possible to upgade is it conceivable to set up a NFS mirror of the ftp.suse.com/pub/SuSE-Linux/5.2 tree, or is this one of the incentives to purchase the CD sets oneself? -josh -- 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] XDMC & KDE

Is it possible to configure a suse system so that it displays the KDM/KDE login screen when I access the system with XDMC? For example, when I connect to a to a solaris system with my x-server running on NT (X-Win32), I see the same login in screen that I see on my Sun's local display. I don't know all the details of how this works, but I believe that this functionality comes with the Solaris CDE. Currently if I run an XDMC query to my suse box I can only run fvwm. What I do now is telnet in and run startkde. This works but it just isn't cool.

I'll start right out and admit I am a dreaded newbie. I get PAID to program Accounting Apps for that other OS using Visual Basic.

I found information on Qddb, a Linux Db that did CGI, and bought it. Unfortunately it interfaces with Tcl. At this stage in my life, I have no desire to learn a new language, especially one as obtuse as Tcl. I read a little out of a Tcl primer but it seemed to be written in some obscure Mespotanian dialect. :) Does anyone on this list know of a DB App under Linux that would allow querying and maintaining an Access Db over the Web from Linux?

[S.u.S.E. Linux] Installing a Network Card

Hello, I loss my linux for a bit, seems the sczi card couldn't catch IRQ 10, was able to get back online by getting on via the installation kernel, then recompiled the kernel (had to take my pro-audio 16 sound card out until it can be determined why vmlinux keeps erroring out with a unresolved error for dma something or other) (btw, that is one question:-( The main reason I recompiled the kernel however was because I just recently installed a pci ethernet card (was supposed to be ne2000 compliant). When I ran the diag in dos, I discovered the card is using irq 11. (If it helps, it is a LanStar CC-3200PCI). After rebooting into Linux, a message came up that it couldn't detect the ethernet card. Guess that means I misconfigured something as I can see the card in both Dos and OS/2. I'm trying to set up a lan based network between my Linux/Os2 box and a Win95 box. They are both running the same style of ethernet card except the win95 card is a PnP standard card.

Hey Folks, Is this the place to ask general Unix or Linux questions? For example, I am trying to get a better understanding of traceroute's output. Should I ask a question about that here, or should I go to a more appropriate news group. Is there is such a news group, can anybody tell me where I might find it?

ezppp worked like a charm. I've tried 3-4 packages and had no success. I *was* a bit concerned about setting: chmod 666 /dev/ttyS0 and chmod 666 /etc/resolv.conf Do either of these settings present a security risk? I don't know what 666 stands for, but it has "diabolical" associations for me ;^).

How do you leave Xwindows yet save what you have set up in there? When I first load Xwindows, many of the windows are too big.

I am still learning how to set up my Xwindows so that this will not be a problem, but if I could "save" the info, then I would not have to even set it up correctly.

if your modem is plug and play (and i think it is), you will also have to install isapnptools and configure linux to recognize your pnp devices.

Perhaps this is better directed to the Star Division folks, but I'm not sure if this is a Linux problem or a Star Office problem. I downloaded Star Office for Linux yesterday.

I tried both the single user and network installs. If I get an answer from the Star Office folks I'll post it here FYI.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] PS/2 & Intellimouse
by hattons＠CPKWEBSER5.ncr.disa.mil 07 Apr '98

07 Apr '98

I downloaded Star Office 40 Yesterday. I had some major problems that, according to the Star Division NG, were caused by using a PS/2 type mouse. I also had problems earlier using my Intellimouse. I know at one point I had upgraded the Xfree86 3.3.2. I don't remember what else it took to make this work. I had my Intellimouse working as a typical 3 button mouse. When I thought the Intellimouse was the problem I grabbed my old serial mouse off my windows 95 486 and set it up to work on my Linux system. This verified to me that the problem with Star Office was indeed the mouse. I then downloaded a patch from Star Division that was supposed to fix the mouse problem. I went to put the imps2 mouse back in, using XF86Setup. That option is no longer there. The Intellimouse option that is displayed does not work at all. This system has been rebootted, reconfigured, reassembled, upgraded, crashed, broken, repaired, and who knows what else, in the last three weeks that I have been using Linux. I cannot for the life of me remember what I did to get the Intellimouse working. Can anybody help me? BTW, it looked to me like the Star Division folks were claiming Linux support for PS/2 mice is a bit shaky. I know I am not having a good time of things right now.

by martin_moeller＠ibm.net 06 Apr '98

06 Apr '98

Hiya! In S.u.S.E. Linux 5.1, it seem that you will not get the nice info included in .rpm files before you already have installed them. All you get is their version-number. I honestly think this should be expanded to be so close to the actual installation of the system (Description next to it, more below, even more with F2 + file listing). Or at least the F2 option? If you 'less' the file you can see the info, equally so using Midnight Commander, so it should be possible, maybe even trivial, to include. Of course it may already be in S.u.S.E. Linux 5.2. If so, then great! -- --- e-mail: martin_moeller(a)technologist.com - an iName service for life(?)

[S.u.S.E. Linux] MPPP

Can someone tell me if channel bundling is possible with S.u.S.E. Linux 5.1? I tried to do like the docs said - isdnctrl adddlink ippp1, but it complains that no more links available (or something like that). I compiled the kernel with MPPP for ISDN. All in all, could someone give a step-by-step recipe for using two ISDN lines? -- 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] Netscape downloads go to sleep.
by hattons＠CPKWEBSER5.ncr.disa.mil 06 Apr '98

06 Apr '98

Has anybody else had this problem? When I try to download large files using Netscape, the download processes seems to go to sleep. The progress bar stops after a few minutes, so do the meteors and the time remaining indicator. All it takes to get it stated back up is a brush of the cursor. Sometimes I need to touch the actual download window, and sometimes I just move the mouse. It starts back up and goes for a few minutes, then it stops again. I am not sure if it is Linux setting the download to a very low priority, or something like that, or if Communicator for Linux has a problem, or some combination of the two. Any ideas?

[S.u.S.E. Linux] Linux Related - A Must See
by deem＠wdm.com 05 Apr '98

I had to give my Barracuda to my wife's Win95 box, so I was down on my SuSE box for a few days, but it was for a good reason. My daughter and 3 friends are competing in ThinkQuest Junior this year and it was great for them to see what could done under Linux vs. Win95. We did graphic work under both and used Netscape under both. Now, anyone willing to help her (she's 11yrs old), please visit the site and post in her guestbook with your constructive comments. It will go a long way in helping the team learn from others.

Augusto, I just went through this. I think what fixed this for me was to make sure I had all the gcc related stuff installed. I also loaded the lattest (beta 3) of the KDE. I believe that is all that I did to before my QT compiled. I think the new KDE was not the issue. I believe it was the gcc stuff. Make sure you have all the c++ stuff there.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] connecting 2 machines via modems with no phone
by zentara＠mindspring.com 03 Apr '98

03 Apr '98

Hi, I want to do some testing of mgetty. I remember at one time there was a way of getting 2 modems to connect, without a phone line; that is, with just a phone wire between the 2 modems. You set ATX0 for blind dialing on the originator, then ATDT. On the receiver, you went offhook with ATH1, then an ATA to answer. When I did this under dos, they would connect. This dosn't seem to work under minicom. Has anyone heard of someone testing this way?

Then I checked with the lpq command the que was empty. I logout, then did init, and at last a reboot. Nothing stops my printer! Right now I have it turned off, but I'm still getting error reports to /var/log/messages. How do I get the SOB to stop? Thanks for your help.

Linux] connecting 2 machines via modems with no phone Hi, I want to do some testing of mgetty. I remember at one time there was a way of getting 2 modems to connect, without a phone line; that is, with just a phone wire between the 2 modems. You set ATX0 for blind dialing on the originator, then ATDT. On the receiver, you went offhook with ATH1, then an ATA to answer. When I did this under dos, they would connect. This dosn't seem to work under minicom. Has anyone heard of someone testing this way?

[S.u.S.E. Linux] SuperX for win95

I am trying to use superx, available on "www.winsite.com" to connect my Win95 box in the house with the linux box in the shop. When it loads it goes out and finds the Linux box but returns a message "Fatal Server error :unknown host:192.168.1.254" now this is the IP address I gave SuSe during installation and I can telnet and ping to this number. Do I need a port number? Which one? Sure like to be able to work in the house, its ~30 Meters to the shop and we are still seeing 5 degrees (F) at nite around here.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] home directory ownership
by satan＠nfinity.com 02 Apr '98

02 Apr '98

This is odd. Last night netscape wouldn't let me save a file because I didn't have permission. I didn't have a clue, so I pulled up rxvt, su'ed, cd .., chown -R satan satan and chgrp -R users satan, then netscape downloaded the file without protest. Now I just tried to download a file 24 hours later and netscape said I didn't have permission. So I pulled up rxvt and cd .. to /home, and my user directory which should have been satan users was root root. What did I screw up and how do I fix it? Why would the ownership of my user directory change to root without me doing so?

[S.u.S.E. Linux] trouble with majordomo on S.u.S.E. 5.0
by pbleser＠prov-liege.be 01 Apr '98

hello everybody ! I'd like to install majordomo to have mailing-lists on our LAN (70 hosts), and I installed the mdomo.rpm package (I have S.u.S.E. 5.0 - changing to 5.2 on Saturday :-), read the manpage, and started to set things up (in /etc/aliases, I guess that's right). Now, when I start "wrapper config-test", I have some errors (access problems)... I changed it by making a "system" group, which includes the user "mdomo", and which can write in /usr, /usr/lib, etc... When I mail to Majordomo@tabatha (that's the Linux server), I get an error from the mail handler: unknown account... Did I forget something ? (btw: maybe I still have access problems to some directories, but I should at least get an error from Majordomo, shouldn't I ?) thanX for your help... Pascal l'irréductible Linuxien ---hardcore-joke---don't-read-this-if-your-English--- m$ asked the Royal Family (of GB, of course) to call its windoze 98 "Windows Diana", because: it's superficially attractive, it consumpts much ressources, and it crashes badly... p.s.: don't take this personally, please... it's just a joke -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

Re: [S.u.S.E. Linux] How to set a different WM?

The better way is to have a new environment setting, let's call it "WINM" (don't use "WINDOWMANAGER", it's already used by some system scripts and will confuse some of them)... You just need to add a line to /etc/profile, like this: ... export WINM=kde ... (and don't forget "export") Every user can customize this setting in his very own ~/.profile Now, you just need to change the /usr/X11/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc script... I attached mine, that works with kde, fvwm2, fvwm, afterstep and twm, but it's very easy to extend (even if you're not used to shell scripts)... I even made a little script called "x", which provides you with a menu (using dialog) with the different windowmanagers... you choose one, and the script sets WINM="afterstep", for example, and then makes "startx"... I have to retrieve it from my very own Linux box, which is on another network (and there's no communication between 'em... so, if have to go upstairs ;-) - I'll send it this afternoon, ok ? Pascal l'irréductible Linuxien P.S.: don't forget to do some environment settings: in /etc/profile, add the lines: export KDEDIR=/opt/kde export PATH=$PATH:$KDEDIR/bin export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$KDEDIR/lib -----Original Message----- From: alexser(a)idt.net <alexser(a)idt.net> To: suse-linux-e(a)suse.com <suse-linux-e(a)suse.com> Date: mercredi 1 avril 1998 07:19 Subject: [S.u.S.E.

Re: [S.u.S.E. Linux] Win 32 & Linux
by pbleser＠prov-liege.be 01 Apr '98

That's the right attitude ! I agree with most of your arguments to beat m$... Really, a Win32 API on Linux could be a *major* chance to really crush m$ on the commercial level, but it certainly is a _lot_ of work to implement all that stuff, although it certainly is possible... Linux is such a great system to work on: no bugs, no reboots, fast as light, the very powerful shell command line, ... ... ... But, in my opinion, a major argument against Linux (but is it really ?) is that the user (let's talk about administrators straightaway, because Linux is best as a server anyway) has to have a certain knowledge of the system (processes, users, filesystems, IPC, ...), which I think most of the "administrators" don't have (that's the only way I can explain the success of NT - just click, click over here and click, click over there: it _is_ easy and "intuitive", but if you want to set up your system *as you wish*, you notice that you just can't change anything, compared to Linux). I'm a student and I'm currently making my end-of-study work in the school (Oracle Designer/2000, NT :-( ), and I'm "teaching" Linux to some interested students in the evening... Some of them don't know anything about UNIX-like systems, so I had to start with 0... Well, that's the time where you see that, maybe, it isn't that easy to understand Linux ;-) but, hey, I said "administrator" ! Is it really asking too much to have administrators who are capable of setting up Linux ?? It really isn't *that* hard, once you understand some basic things... Am I right or am I right ? ;-) bye ! Pascal P.S.: If you want some help with SaMBa, I have some experience with it (and its troubleshooting ;-) and have already helped out some people with that on several mailinglists... ---snip, snip, snip---(not that it wasn't interesting, but it would get a little long ;-) > > Steve, > >I understand your point of view.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] [Fwd: apsfilter problem]
by pwlwcz＠ibm.net 01 Apr '98

01 Apr '98

<PRE> Hello, I sent this in the other day, and I am sorry for resubmitting it, but, I am at my wits end. Is anyone else having problems with apsfilter and/or A2PS or is it just me??? Jim Hatridge is trying to help me but, I think we are in the same boat. I really want to use and support Linux. I have purchased SuSE 5.1, Infomagic dev. resource, RedHat 5, Caldera Open Linux base, and Linux Pro 5.4. Not to mention way too many books that all seem to cost $40.00 each. The guys at the SoftPro bookstore must love me. I even tried the Debian dist. that came on a BOOT magazine cd a while back. And of all these I like SuSE the best. If I could only get apsfilter working correctly I would be HAPPY. Until I can sort out SuSE, I guess win95, OS/2, and RedHat 5.0 are going to have to stay on my other partitions...But, damn! I need the space.

I set it up with YAST. I'm using the eps9high driver on a nine pin panasonic dot matrix printer. I have also tried the epson driver and the SETUP program for apsfilter. I can print text using : lpr -Praw (my-text-file), or lpr (my-postscript-file). I can also print text using : a2ps (various command line options) (my-text-file). It seems that the a2ps options I specified in apsfilterrc and apsfilterrc.eps9high don't work. lpr command works with .ps files and with text files using -Praw command line option only, -Plp and -Pascii don't work. My etc/printcap file looks correct. Also the print button in Netscape 4.04 seems to work fine, the fonts are too small but, I'm not worried about that right now. I was under the impression that the "lpr" command would work with any file type. Isn't that the purpose of apsfilter??? I seem to be able to print anything by explicitly specifying my needs at the command line. I can print graphics from netscape. Am I using this incorrectly or is something not set up right???

You just don't want to have anything to do with MS-Bill. I see a place in my paradigm where folks like you could be fully satisfied with the same base Linux running on your preferred platform, while those who wanted to emulate Win32 could add that functionality to their Linux x86 systems. I have been working as a sysadmin for five years now. I remember when NT was in beta. I have watched it become a dominant market player. One of the most effective selling points of NT/95 has been the ability to do everything that a Novell server or client could do, and then some. Microsoft has produced some decent products. (Word is not one of these, BTW. ) Right now they are crushing Netscape's browser development by dumping IE on the market. That yanks my chain big time! Part of the reason that MS can do this is because of their virtual stranglehold on the intel OS market. If they could not sell NT at $250 per workstation and 95 at $100 per workstation, if there were a Linux alternative to NT/95, MS would have to compete more equally in the marketplace when it comes to other software products. Now consider what happens when Joe administrator sets up his Linux system to run MS-SQL server. If MS-SQL server works well and does everything a Unix based SQL server can do, then Bill gets to keep the business. If, on the other hand, MS-SQL can't hang with another product, perhaps a freeware product, Bill looses the market share. People who transition to Linux because they can get it for much less, and can still use their MS investments, will then be free to move between Win32 based products and UNIX based products. It is also likely that software producers would be more willing to compile software for other CPUs that don't run NT, but can handle Win32 calls through Linux. There would be no need to port the code to UNIX style calls. All of a sudden, people are using a Win32 API on a non-intel platform, and Bill isn't getting a cut either. The Linx/UNIX user who doesn't want to participate in this simply doesn't load the Win32 emulator on his system. He uses pure Linux software, and keeps a clear conscience. I guess what I am trying to say is that one of the best ways to break down the MS proprietary fortress is to emulate MS OSs. I truly believe that Linux/UNIX can "do that too". Remember when people were saying that the reason MS-DOS was so successful was because it would run on open system architecture. IBM made a killing on this strategy for a while and then found that is had created its own major competition? Well, its about time there was an open systems operating system that could stand up to MS proprietary products. Mathematica: I love it! I have not yet tried it on Linux. I have run it on DOS, 95, and NT. See: www.wri.com NT = MS-UNIX? I would not say that. I am not as knowledgeable about the core UNIX architecture as I am of NT's architecture. There are some major differences at the user interface level that I can speak authoritatively about. First off, that stuff about POSIX compliance? I work in a Major DoD lab, and nobody talks about POSIX. UNIX products run on UNIX systems and Win32 products run on NT/95 systems. The NT/DOS scripting language doesn't hold a candle to UNIX shells. The registry makes basic system administration easier, but puts many restrictions on what you can do with a system. NT seems to me to be slower in every respect than UNIX. I also have far more problems with Dr. Watsons than I do with core dumps. As a workstation I have little trouble with NT other than the fact that it seems to take twice as long to load things as it does on Linux. I installed suse a week or so ago. At first I figured that it was going to be a clunky curiosity that I would play with a bit here and there, while my real work would be done on NT. I haven't booted into NT in days except to retrieve files. I am thinking of buying a new system. Before I tried suse, I was debating between NT and Solaris x86. (which I do like, but has few applications which run on it.) Now I am almost sure that I will put suse on my new system. (if it will run on the dual Pentium II 333 Asus MB). I then want to set up Samba and network with my current NT system.

Right - I have those files (XSuSE_Matrox and xsuseconfig) and have 'installed' them using YaST. By install, I mean I have selected 'Install Packages' using YaST, and pointed it towards the .gz files, and then it copied them to my X11 directory. I think that's what it did. Now what? I have been told to configure the server using the xsuseconfig file - how do I do that? If I run XF86Setup, there is no option to select the XSuSE_Matrox server.

That's just plain bad system administration on their part. If they're moving the server and the user database is not complete, they should turn off sendmail or disconnect the ethernet so anyone who tries to send them mail will get a fail but the mail will be queued up and as long as they finish the conversion in a day that should get you your mail since almost every server will retry for more than a day to send mail, approx every 4 hours. > It would be nice to be able to search for answers that have already been > posted to questions.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] Installing Triteal CDE on S.u.S.E. 5.1?
by mwagnon＠ixpres.com 31 Mar '98

31 Mar '98

I was inspired to make an attempt at installing the Triteal CDE from RedHat onto my system. I grabbed a brief doc from the suse support database and followed the instructions, but I am still lacking progress. When I run the install script I get one error that says something to the effect that there is no sys group, using root. the CDE apparently needs portmap but this package conflicts with nkitb of suse, which is (I think) needed for networking and stuff. When I start the CDE, I get the login screen, but when I type my login and password, the response is a black screen with a arrow pointer, after which (about 30 sec) I am returned to the login screen. I'm off to search through redhat's errata (off which they have a lot:)) to look for some answers. Has anyone here tried to install the Triteal CDE *AND* been successful? Any hints greatly appreciated! Mark -- 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] An ethernet question
by zentara＠mindspring.com 31 Mar '98

31 Mar '98

Hi, Ethernet Time!!! You know in the install process where you are asked "do you just use loopback, or a real network"? If you say real network, you are prompted for the ethernet address, netmask, gateway, and p to p partner. Is there a way of initiating this script on a running currently installed system? I looked all thru Yast, but didn't see it. I couldn't find an entry in rc.config for gateway address. I messed it up once, and tried to recover by editing /etc/route.conf to no avail. What I did was enter a gateway that didn't exist, and I tried to remove Default Gateway from route.conf; but it didn't fix the problem. When I reinstalled, and left Gateway empty in the above mentioned script, it works fine. I know that installation script does it correctly, so can I use it anytime after installation? If so, how? zentara -- 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'm thinking of all the newbies who might get confused by all the new things to use and to learn. Mail is easy to handle and most of the Internet users know how to do it. Of cause newsgroups are also easy to use (for us...), but my experience shows that most newbies find it difficult to read and post news and get confused about nntp servers etc, and they rather have mails... So the only way to have a NG (IMHO) is to have a bidirectional gateway between this list and the newsgroup. And this will possibly bring us a lot of spams on this list. So I suppose the best way for those of you, who want to have a newsgroup, may be to set up a local news server at your site and feed the mail into this server (either by subscribing a special user or by setting up a procmail filter to do this). If you need a mail2news skript, I can give you the one we are using to archive the lists as news groups...

Hi, I answered quite the same question in an other thread on this list some days ago: SuSE was based on Slackware (it has been a German version of Slakware, we translated all the installation tools to German and fixed some bugs, so it was more ore less just a German Slakware version) and we have to thank Patrick for his great work. But at one point we decided to move away from Slackware and that it's time to create our own distribution. We also decided not to start from scratch, but to use Florian LaRoche's Jurix distribution as a startpoint for developing the S.u.S.E. distribution. Florian is now an employee of S.u.S.E. and continues his work mainly on the base system of S.u.S.E. Linux. Release 4.2 was the first Jurix based S.u.S.E. Linux.

But I don't know why runx works for those cards and the 'plain' Xservers doesn't. There were a lot more cards who had these problems some time ago, and runx was always a good tip to solve this. These days only very few people seem to have this kind of problems. To get more info on this, we need to have a X specialist, you can try to contact the XFree86 team for example...

[S.u.S.E. Linux] chat file to connect with ATT Worldnet?
by billmadsen＠worldnet.att.net 30 Mar '98

30 Mar '98

I am connected to ATT Worldnet on my win95 and OS/2 platforms, but I'd like to connect from Linux also. Can anyone tell me the format to use in the chat file--that is, what information is required and in what order and in response to what prompts?

If you look hard enough, you can get free apps for linux to do most things. Also much of the software you describe, is available to non- commercial users for free. > the other hand, if Linux were to become as easy to use as 95/NT for the > uninitiated, and Linux were capable of running software that people already > have invested money in, there would likely be a mass migration from M$ OSs to > Linux. > Well Linux is getting there. Look at KDE. It's not quite perfected, but getting there fast. And as far as command line use goes, linux is way easier to do things. The biggest drawback to windows is the lack of a 32 bit command line and language. I thought OS2 was way better than win95, just for having REXX. It still is a great single user system. Windows NT is really a waste unless you use the NTFS filesystem. I played with NT4 for awhile, and it isn't any easier than linux. In fact it is harder, because everything is hidden from you in dlls. The biggest drawback to win95-NT is the price. To set up winNT with Linux functionality and security, costs about $1000 !!! The NT Server license, plus Visual Basic, plus Visual C++, is way out of the reach of average people. Whereas SuSe is $50, Perl is free, and it has it's own compiler. Plus the source code is open to look at. I have a big distrust of corporate motives. I wouldn't want to trust the entire planets computer network to a profit seeking organization, who hides their code. Linux should be what is taught in schools, it is affordable to all students. > As far as running standard Win32 software on intel platforms goes, there is > no need for emulating the CPU as is done with a Sparc.

They discuss the nuts and bolts of it. You are right. These guys see light at the end of the tunnel, so they are working hard. BUT.... there are so many little incompatibilities that pop up, principally due to Microsoft's habit of just patching up old code to make it work. That makes it very hard for "intelligent, methodical, programmers" to make a consistent emulation scheme. They just patch things up as they come. All in all, when it comes down to really getting daily computer work done, there is nothing better than the command line, with pipes and re-direction; and a powerful language like PERL. So we are talking about 2 different types of users. The web-surfers, and chat-room lovers, and people who want to print an occaisional T-shirt up on their ink-jet printer; comprise one group. They are always complaining about about system crashes, and lockups, and are willing to spend alot of money to "buy their way into computer functionality". Microsoft can make a bundle off of this group. This group would love to get win32's going on linux. It would make it easier to get the new "linux status-symbol" going for them. This isn't a huge market really. Then there are the real business computer professionals. These people need to connect, manage databases, print reports, make backups, and have systems which don't crash, and are understandable to configure to their special needs. Command line unix or linux is the best choice. I think the real shame in all of this is the lost educational opportunity we are missing with young kids in school. They could start learning Perl and unix command line stuff in 6th grade. You could use old 386's. Not with windows....gotta have Pentium II MMX's, etc., etc., etc. So the school boards can't afford it, and the kids can't afford it at home either. Get me drunk, and talking about this stuff.... I'll talk your ears off. :-) Gotta stop. zentara -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

With the trend seen today, you might say MS overwelms everything else, this might happen for a few more years, but I think it will start to die off.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] soundcard question

Hi, I have my soundcard driver as a module in the kernel. Whenever the kerneld loads the module, then all volume levels are set to "default" value. I wonder if I can alter this default value somehow, or not. If there is anyone, who can help me, I would be very thankful.
