I had the same problem with my HP600C. Solution was to direct my print job to the RAW printer (in my case lp4) instead of letting lpr decide which filter to use. ex. lpr -Plp4 nameoffile You can check your /etc/printcap file to find out which selections of lp#'s you have available. There is a separate one for each filter (ascii, raw, mono, color, etc. etc.) Arlen Carlson ** Reply to note from Jim Hatridge <hatridge(a)straubing.baynet.de> Sat, 7 Mar 1998 17:10:06 +0100 (CET) > > > On Sat, 7 Mar 1998, Donn Washburn wrote: > > > Hey Group: > > > > I have a epson stylus color 800 which is working > > after using "apsfilter" SETUP.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] Yast and colors??
by mika＠sweden.hp.com 07 Mar '98

07 Mar '98

Hello everyone! I've just installed SuSE 5.1 on two of my PC's. And after a bit of configuring (recompiling the kernel and more...) the colors disappeared for terminal applications like Yast or "make menuconfig" on one of my PC's. I can work with the tools and every thing works fine but it's very annoying not knowing what I've change. commands like "ls" show colors when running in text mode (not X) so its nothing wrong with my terminal and I've done rpm --verify on some off the packages and don't seem to find any errors. So has anyone any clues on how to get back the colors to yast and "make menuconfig"?

Yep, in fact Yast's _not_ finished: you probably rebooted before it has finished... It can take some time, depending on you machine (I don't know yours, so... on a 486 DX-33, it can take up to an hour (ok, with a bigfoot disk, but...)): yast builds the man-caches, and runs various configuration scripts... You can see the process on tty9 (press ALT-F9); and you should wait until a message appears that yast's finished...

[S.u.S.E. Linux] SANE Scanner support is cool
by mperry＠basin.com 06 Mar '98

06 Mar '98

I recently compiled SANE scanner support for my HP 3c flatbed scanner and was quite impressed with the way it will attach to the GIMP by making a symnbolic link. I can now scan directly into the GIMP which is quite nice using SANE. I did notice a few things about SANE though. Compiling the program errored on creating or finding a device called /dev/scanner until I saw what it actually was looking for which was a /dev/sg0 device. This also happened when I installed xvscan and the folks at xvscan told me the fix. To correct this, I pointed the install program to look at the /dev object I wished. This took a few tries.I could not manage to get SANE to compile as anything other than root probably because it wants to read and write to the /dev tree or something like that. I must report though that if you are using SuSE that SANE provides a nice tcl/tk environment to scan with and its direct scanning for the GIMP make it a very nice addition. So if you are looking for something to support your scanner, SANE provides a nice interface. I also use xvscan which is the same as xv but with scanning extensions. It works quite well also. -- --Michael Perry-- mperry(a)basin.com -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

[S.u.S.E. Linux] Multiple Windowmanagers - Always something to learn!
by dedwards＠technologist.com 06 Mar '98

06 Mar '98

I had this notion that an X server was just that - a server, and that the windowmanager was a client (fvwm, afterstep etc). With this in mind, I thought that I may be able to start multiple windowmanagers - each on a separate VC - for one X server. Startx -- :1.0 (:2.0) etc starts separate windowmanagers on separate VC's, but it also starts up other X servers. Hence not the client/server relationship I had hoped for. Can anyone contrdict my findings and make a disappointed newbie into a happy hacker once again??

[S.u.S.E. Linux] using NFS error?
by K.Y.Lo＠soton.ac.uk 05 Mar '98

05 Mar '98

Hi I have own 486DX4 with 16MB ram and ethernet via full TCPIP but no CDROM. I am a new to learn SuSe this list. I'm doing using NFS via FTP to install a harddisc. using boot-disk then I configure my ethernet, everything is ok. select NFS network via ftp.gwdg.de where to get in /pub/linux/suse/5.1/ suse/setup directory . I want to install the source into a hard disc from SuSe FTP site. it went wrong. NFS network says An error occurred while trying to mount the nfs directory. Reason given by Server: Permission denied. What does that mean? I was stuck with getting SuSe packages to install my local harddisc via FTP from DOS prompt. I thought I cant getting the SuSe files but I need to get SuSe 5.1 installation with permission. How? Thank you Help me! Here is a copy of README.FTP:- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ English: The unmodified mirror tree of S.u.S.E. Linux can be used as NFS installation source only for machines with at least 16 MB of RAM. To be able to use your mirrored S.u.S.E. Linux as a nfs installation source for machines with less RAM, there are two steps that need to be done. 1. Change the file permissions for the files in suse/setup/tools to make these files executable (usually ftp leaves the files 644). 2. Unpack the installation system contained in the file suse/inst-sys.tgz since the files within cant be transferred via ftp (devices etc). We provided a script that can do the work for you. It sets up a complete copy of the tree using hard links, where it unpacks the installation system to keep mirror from removing the files within the inst-sys. After that the file permissions in suse/setup/tools are corrected. Start the script using: prepare_ftp source destination where SOURCE is the mirrored S.u.S.E. Linux root directory and DESTINATION is the directory used for client nfs installation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Cheers K.Y.Lo Email: kyl(a)soton.ac.uk -- 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 got it to work by telling the bios to delete previous settings ... I didn't even have to physically move the cards, b/c I had moved them recently. Is there any reason why the bios shouldn't be set to delete the previous settings by default every time the system reboots? Although I was able to get it to work, I had to first use trial and error to determine which interrupt that my video card uses. After having the bios delete the previous settings, I first activated the soundcard _before_ starting X. Upon doing that, /proc/interrupts indicated that my soundcard was using interrupts 5 and 9. Then I deactivated the soundcard and started X. Looking at /proc/interrupts did not indicate anything about an interrupt for my video card, and listed nothing for interrupts 5 and 9. But if I then activated the soundcard while running X, my screen froze. After reboot, I setup my soundcard configuration so that it could not use interrupt 9. Now, when I activate the soundcard it uses interrupts 5 and 7 and it works fine under X. So, it appears that my videocard uses interrupt 9. But, how can I actually find out which interrupt my video card uses without the trial and error that I had to go through?

[S.u.S.E. Linux] YAST printer setup - stcolor (Epson Stylus 800 Color)

Hey Group: I just purchased a Epson Stylus Color 800 which claims that it will print 1440x720 dpi "Photo Quality" color. I find that supported printers include this printer as a s"tcolor". Has anyone found the MAXIMUM dpi that Linux/SuSE will support? It seems to print fine using 320x320 (default setting) and fails with the 1440x720 settings. It also states that it supports "Adobe PostScripts" level 2 with Windoze related software. 73 from Donn aka N5XWB n5xwb(a)inetport.com -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

[S.u.S.E. Linux] XSuSE_NVidia and interrupt problem
by dchristi＠mail.med.cornell.edu 04 Mar '98

04 Mar '98

I'm using the XSuSE_NVidia video driver for my Diamond Viper 330 video card. On the SuSE webpage (at www.suse.de/XSuSE/XSuSE_E.html#nvidia) it says about this driver: "But it does not work, if the Riva128 card needs to share an interrupt with another device in the machine. " I believe this is my problem. My computer also has a Yamaha OPL3-SA3 soundcard. The XSuSE_NVidia driver works fine until I try to activate my soundcard using the "soundon" command of the Open Sound System. As soon as I type soundon, my video freezes, so it appears that they share an interrupt. Is there any way that I can use both XSuSE_NVidia and my soundcard?

Howdy! Just to elaborate a 'bit' on CeBIT... If you ever happen to be anywhere near Hannover, Germany at the time of CeBIT, I recommend that you attend.

Most buildings are as large as the Las Vegas Convention Center. So imagine, about 10 Comdexes in one place!! They have 800,000 visitors every year.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] SCSI CD problems
by helge.olsen＠mediasvar.se 04 Mar '98

04 Mar '98

Hello list! Ok, here's my problem: Until last week I've been running Slackware96 quite happily, but I eventually felt the need to upgrade, so I got me a copy of S.u.s.e. Linux 5.1 (November 1997). Almost everything about this is great, nice install, config and so on, and lots and lots of apps. That I like. However, the upgrade introduced an annoying problem with my SCSI CD: It is quite jerky when playing audio, sometimes it just stops playing for a couple of tenths of a second, sometimes it stops and freezes up the whole system for *several* seconds. Using regular CD-ROMS don't seem to be any problem at all, and in windows95, audio CD is fine too. I notice when running X, that moving the mouse around a lot generates noise (and even the jerkiness described before). This was not so in slackware, which I ran from a 2.0.27 kernel patched with Tekram DC-390 SCSI Driver. My hardware: K6-200 on SOYO VX mainboard, 32 mb EDO RAM. Microsoft PS/2 style mouse on IRQ 12. Tekram DC-390 (Fast SCSI-2 version) SCSI controller on IRQ 11. 3com etherlink III ISA combo netcard (not used under linux, for win95 gaming only), irq 9. Soundblaster32 pnp with 2 Mb RAM, running with SB16 driver (ie no EMU8000), irq 5. STB Lightspeed 128 Video, 2 Mb SVGA card, irq 15. IBM 2.1 Gb SCSI-2 harddrive (id 1), Seagate 1.0 Gb SCSI-1 CCS (id 2) (? stated by kernel, not sure what it means), Pioneer DR-U12X SCSI-2 Cdrom Firmware v1.06 (id 0). The system is installed on the faster IBM disk for speed, and mounts DOS partitions from the slower Seagate disk. I tried to configure a minimalist kernel for my hardware, and boot that one, but the problem remains the same as when I run the default install-kernel found on the CDs. I also noticed that the jerkiness seems to be worse when there is much going on in the system (i.e. lots of filesystem access, surfing the net and so on), but it is problematic when the system is idle too...

[S.u.S.E. Linux] Yast and FTP Updates
by chris123＠netcom.ca 04 Mar '98

04 Mar '98

Sorry for this newbie question, but I was trying to figure out how to use Yast to update via FTP as to prepare for the release of 5.2. updates. I've got the Yast part figured out but I cant seen to integrate yast with the ftp functions.ie: cant seen to get yast to find the ppp conection to the world. The error I get is ftp.suse.com cannot be located. Im running kppp as the conection scipt to activate ppp connection. I have also tried a terminal session ftp with kppp running and this works fine except Yast does not see the connection. I've read the 5.1 manual but there is very little info on Yast and FTP. Are there some other sources of info to learn this function and capability.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] Sendmail question.
by luis＠lac.resonet.com 04 Mar '98

04 Mar '98

This is a sendmail question. I used the mailertable feature to handle outgoing mail for specific domains, it works really well. Also I want to reject non-local users from using my smtp server to send mail, so I used the "HACK" features. The HACK features worked really well too, except now the mailertable features don't work anymore. I've come to the conclusion I can't use mailertable and the HACK features at the same time because this is a contradiction, someone prove me wrong please. Is there another way to do the above? ie, have both features at the same time? -- Lou A.

Besides the start scripts, you will have to compile a kernel which has support for masquerading/firewall/ipforwarding etc, I don't know if the stock kernel has that done already. You should compile your own kernel anyway to remove support for hardware you don't have, keeps the kernel nice and tight.

Brilliant! Thanks for the detective work. And indeed, why the goofy default? Even as a feature it strikes me as goofy, even if it's an "ed" question. Though, come to think of it, I don't recall ever encountering it in this form in old UNIX "ed": s/A/B/g *always* does global substitution, and it's supposed to in GNU "ed" too. Where you DO get toggling in "ed" is with the command (.,.)s ("repeat last substitution command (for addres range .,.)") which, with "g" suffix as in (.,.)sg, toggles the previous "g" state. But then you have the option: without "g", no toggle, just repeat. With "g", toggle and repeat. I can see the point of that, but not with the form s/A/B/g. I reckon this is a "vim" design fault! However, this ain't a "vim" list, so better stop there. But thanks for the discussion.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] Out of box Suse 5.1 IP Masquerading Possible with YAST?
by mark＠atmnet.net 04 Mar '98

04 Mar '98

Hi, Just wondering if Suse's Yast program has the ability to setup IP masquerade? IE one real eth0 interface and one non routable eth0:1 (192.168.0.1/24 ip address attached to it) Can this be done, most people asking for linux assistance all want ip masquerading for the hot new cable modems. and I think that the ethernet setup under Yast is great, but then to have to hand edit the filter / firewall rules is not for the faint of heart.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] Re: VIM bug + buglet?

04 Mar '98

Hi all! I'm a pretty new customer to S.u.S.E, so greetlings. The Oakland office is a couple blocks away, they're good folks. I'm a bigtime ViM user (this e-mail is vim powerd), so I found the bug reports strange. As it turns out, at least one is a _feature_ :).

This occurs because of the parameter 'edcompatible' being set. In the file /etc/vimrc, which is the systemwide vim config file, you will notice the lines: my comments " special options for vim version 4.0 " Lets vim avoid version conflicts set edcompatible " see below set magic " affects which characters need be escaped :help edcompatible returns the following: Makes the 'g' and 'c' flags of the ":substitute" command to be toggled each time the flag is given. See 11.3 |complex_change|. See also 'gdefault' option. So there you go. :set noedcompatible manually, or edit /etc/vimrc, or make your own $HOME/.vimrc to override it.

The compile appeared to finish but the vim executable was not there, damn and blast. I'll have a closer look tonight. Vim 5 looks great and I MUST have it, so if you have any tips I'd by grateful.

If you don't have this file, you don't have g++. Basically, your configure script looks for a C++ compiler, and then hopes for the best with gcc if that's all it finds. gcc identifies your source as C++ and tries to call the approrpriate component, which is not available.

The mouse works fine in win95 so it isn't a hardware problem. This problem has me stumped. I redid the mouse configuration, stopped and started gpm, and the mouse started working again in both terminal mode and Xwindows (I know that xwindows doesn't use gpm), but then it froze on me again.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] General instability with various programs and SuSE 5.1
by mperry＠basin.com 03 Mar '98

03 Mar '98

Some things I have noted recently while running fvwm2 with a hacked .fvwm2rc which calls up a pager, some eyes, and tkdesk. One program causes some type of lock where the clock does not tick, the keyboard freezes, and other undesirable things happen like the system does not respond to the usual keys to end an X session. This program is a self-compiled knews 1.0b2 or whatever. I use also Ishmail for email and this sometimes causes the same symptoms when saving to a folder. My system;s physical setup checks out okay (memory, hard disk, scsi devices). This has only become more pronounced lately and only with the two programs I mention. Other large programs like netscape, applix, etc all start with no problems. Do others have problems with knews?

[S.u.S.E. Linux] VIM bug + buglet?
by efh＠nessie.mcc.ac.uk 03 Mar '98

03 Mar '98

Hi Folks, I have observed misbehaviour in the "vim" supplied with S.u.S.E. Linux. This was already present in the version that came with S.u.S.E.-5.0, and I hoped it would be cured in 5.1 after upgrade, but apparently it isn't. ===================================================================== 1. BUG You have a line with several instances of "A" and you want to replace all of them with "B". So, with the cursor at the start of the line, you do :s/A/B/g This has the effect of replcing only the first "A" with "B". Then you do the same again, and this time all the remaining replacements happen. 2. BUGLET When you want to make a "visual" block (with "V", "v" or "^V"), the character under the cursor appears blanked out at any rate if you revisit it when moving the cursor around with the arrow keys. It may also take two presses of "v" to exit from "visual". This doesn't appear to affect anything important, however. ===================================================================== I apparently have vim version 4.0 and, from the time-stamp on /usr/bin/vim, it was the one installed from S.u.S.E.-5.0, with no upgrade when 5.1 was installed.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] X Mouseclick Dying Problem
by efh＠nessie.mcc.ac.uk 02 Mar '98

02 Mar '98

Hi Folks, This may not be a specifically S.u.S.E. problem but I'm putting it to the list because this is the only place I'm likely to find many people with the same general setup. I leave my system up and running continuously. The problem is: Once every few days, when I click with the mouse, suddenly X stops responding to mouse clicks. The mouse pointer continues to move around, but that's all. The only solution is to kill X. If I switch to a virtual terminal and kill the application in question from the command line, then I may get keyboard input to an Xterm window back. However, mouse-click is still dead; on occasion, after this, I have seen the pointer change to what looks like a very very tiny Xterm with a faint grid on it (probably about 40x60 pixels). I have KDE-1.3-beta running. This seems to happen most often when clicking on a dialogue button (e.g. "OK") within a large application (such as WordPerfect-7 or Applixware) when several windows are up (I typically have between 12 and 20 on various KDE desktops of which I have 8 in all). I hate to say it, but this leaves me with the sort of feeling that you get in MS-Windows when your application freezes and you are told "Quit your application and restart Windows" ... anyway, the effect is much the same! Since it happens after 2-3 days, it's frequent enough to be very irritating. I had got used to weeks of trouble-free uptime: it would be very nice to get it back. With thanks for any suggestions, Best wishes, Ted. -------------------------------------------------------------------- E-Mail: (Ted Harding) <efh(a)nessie.mcc.ac.uk> Date: 02-Mar-98 Time: 23:30:10 -------------------------------------------------------------------- -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

There is a bug in the S.u.S.E. init scripts for setting up an NIS server. The ypdomainname is not set in the ypserv startscript, and the server is started after the client.

You are allowed to do this. YaST is commercial, and there a no sources free available for YaST. But you can use on as many machines you want to. You are not allowed to resale it. The only thing on the CDs which is licenced software is the LNX database. There are several other 'non free' or 'non GPL' programms on the CD, most of them in the 'pay' series.

Use YaST to start the ypserver, portmapper and also the yppasswdd (to enable remote changing of passwords). Also make sure that your server is also configured as a client, it should bind to itself. Check if the demons are running with rpcinfo -p localhost. You should have the portmapper,ypbind, ypserv and yppasswd running. ypinit should be found in /usr/lib/yp use ypinit -m or ypinit -s masterserver to create the ypdatabases or get them from the master. remember that this directory is usually not in your path so use the full path to run ypinit. also make sure that your master server knows about your machine if you install it as slave server, so it automatically sends you updated versions of its databases. ypmake can be used on a masterserver to update single databases. use ypwhich (whoŽs server) ypcat (whatŽs in the database) commands to check your connections. hope this helps Mario -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

Hi guys, I am using SuSE 5.1 and would like to use lesstif for a couple of things. Especially to compile the "msfsm" motif file system manager. I have tried "xdf" but the values it gives never agree with a df command, so it is very misleading. I thought I saw lesstif listed in SuSE 5.0 or 4.4 but I cannot find them on the ftp site. Is lesstif available as a SuSE rpm? My attemps to compile lesstif on SuSE 5.1 have been unsuccessful. Any other graphical file system monitor would be ok if there is one. Thanks in advance.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] Questions about swap and routing
by scohen＠home.com 02 Mar '98

02 Mar '98

I have two completely unrelated questions (well they are both about suse linux). I noticed that when my swap partition gets initialized at boot up, it says it has a priority -1. What does that mean? I also noticed that my swap partition isn't being used (I checked with the "free" command and via the graphical utility that comes up in xwindows by default). Is that because of this priority -1? I just got a cable modem. It runs fine in win95, but I can't seem to get it running in linux. I am guessing I have the routing screwed up somehow. The thing is, I have a static IP so this should be easy. Let me give out the particulars. My IP = 24.3.25.87 subnetmask = 255.255.255.0 (Class A that is subnetted) Default Gateway = 24.3.25.1 DNS IP = 24.3.0.33, 24.3.0.34 DNS Name = CC372705-A Domain Name = catv1.md.home.com I set up route.conf like this: 24.3.25.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 eth1 (I have another nic that is eth0) default 24.3.25.1 255.255.255.0 eth1 when I looked at the route table, it shows that I am on the 24.3.25 network and the default gateway is 24.3.25.1. I figured that was all I needed, but I seem to be wrong. I can't ping anything on the outside world. I can't even ping the DNS in linux (I can in win95). What am I doing wrong?

They > are simply bus compatible I went to a training session yesterday with HP regarding new technologies and we discused the twin AGP standards quite a bit in our lecture materials. Some of the advantages is moving the graphics adaptor off of the pci bus which widens bandwidth for other devices like scsi cards, pci sound cards, etc. The ability of the new generation of motherboards to handle cards like the true color hp cards which require both a pci and agp slot are numerous. There is software, according to hp, which now is out supporting at least one of the agp standards. Obvioiusly one level of advantage is the removal of graphics adaptors from the pci bus which widens the bandwidth and performance of other pci devices. The new 3d boards and 3d animiations and other applications are quite spectacular, imo. > -Bill > -- > To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with > this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e -- --Michael Perry-- mperry(a)basin.com -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

Now that the hardware is a commodity, the os is a commodity, so it will follow that apps will become commodities, and a day will come when people will laugh if someone wants more than $25(US) for an application. Cross platform technologies such as Java, Tcl/Tk, and other cross platform "enablers" make the possibility of renting software directly from the author a complete possibility. Imagine in the near future, if you want to use software, you go to a licensing page, pop out a credit card and get 6 months use for example $6, maybe ...and the app is downloaded and run direct from the author. The advantage is that the user gets current software all the time, and the author is getting paid for their work. > The main thing I'm looking for now is a replacement for M$ Publisher.

GIMP is a "knock off" of Adobe Photoshop, and is better in some of its features than Photoshop. It may have some of what you need. Another free tool you can use for limited layouts is Netscape's composer, While it's not everything you need, it will definitely be something you can use. -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

One thing definetely, the YaST is a commercial program which can not be copied without the written permission from SuSE. But for all freewares under the GPL come with the box, you can copy them for free, what you have to do is just to remain the copyright notice together with the new copy, as GPL requires.

Applix on the cover: 'complete,integrated and fully graphical office suite, which includes Word Processor, Spreedsheet, Presentation Graphics, Mail and Development tools. Now I don't know much about M$ publisher and I dunno if I can compare and say that applix can do the same thing that publisher can do. So I won't. I do know it installs simply into SuSE5.0 and 5.1 and not sure what kernel it actually needs, it did work fine with 2.0.30+ Thats all I can say about applix, other than it is pretty decent, never crashed on me and runs under X, thou it could be a bit more user friendly. WP 7 is all of the good stuff your used to in a word processor. and installs easy. Now a few more needed applications get devloped or upgraded from thier other OS (operating systems) and maybe a few more games :) I will have no need for other OSs > The main thing I'm looking for now is a replacement for M$ Publisher.

So well this is my opinon so its mine, and you Hi Steven; My wife & I use WP 4.2 under DOS. While for me it's ok, no big deal, my wife loves it. I, at first, thought about upgrading to WP7/Linux but the price stopped me. Yes, I know that it's not much, but my entire computer bugget for the year is only 240 DM (ca. 150$). So it's out.

The main thing I'm looking for now is a replacement for M$ Publisher. I need to be able to layout a bulletin and all I have is Publisher.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] AGP XPERT@WORK Need help with xf86config
by hettar＠teleport.com 28 Feb '98

28 Feb '98

Hello {SuSE} I am having difficulty in setting up an AGP XPERT@WORK video card. Note this is the AGP version. I have 5.1 SuSE and the Mach64 server that came with it Durring a xf86config: It comes to the card selection part: 1)list cards [y/n] :: there is no exact match here. What do I do? If I pick a card lets say Mach64 Rage 3D with internal Ramdac ect.... should I pick this? I think its just for the selection of the Mach64 X server but some of these ATI Cards look different... 2)It then asks me to pick the X server so I pick option 5 Mach64 X server 3)Then I think it asks me for RAMDAC..here i gota pick a type or hit enter ** what do I do here** ^^^ 4)Then it asks me something about clock settings(i think clock something) ** what do I do here** ^^^ 5)Then it asks me i think should I use autoprobe? I say no Then i finsih up xf86config.. *)and startx gives me a nice black screen and after a bit 111errors and 3 error So what am I doing wrong, and if I gota mod XF86CONFIG, exactly what do I put and exactly where under "devices" I put two lines in, and it didn't seam to work..(i dunno if I put em in the right place..) please be exact (descriptive) -- Steven Udell Wayfarers hettar(a)teleport.com Truth Love sudell(a)teleport.com & Courage <A HREF="http://www.teleport.com/~hettar"><A HREF="http://www.teleport.com/~hettar</A">http://www.teleport.com/~hettar</A</A>> -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

[S.u.S.E. Linux] X binaries
by nwobone＠hotmail.com 28 Feb '98

28 Feb '98

Good evening all! I was demonstrating SuSE to a friend of mine, first the shells, then the 'games without x', then finally X. I went to try and use a different terminal, and severely killed X. Now, when i use either program to set up X (text or graphic), i go through the motions, then when i try to startx, i get the message '...X11_xxxx doesn't appear to be a binary file. I'm aborting now.' My question is: how do i make it see the binary file, or edit the last known working binary file to remove the offending character(s)?

[S.u.S.E. Linux] NIS Server

Hey everyone, I'm having trouble setting up a NIS server on SuSE Linux 5.1...I've been using the NIS HowTO and the yp commands in O'Reilly's Linux in a Nutshell. Both refer to a ypinit command I cannot find. I found a ypmake command that which sounds like it should do what ypinit does, make the map databases. Has anyone got an NIS server up on 5.1 and, if so, how?

>From the man page for fvwm95: First, fvwm95 will search for a file named .fvwm95rc...in the users home directory. Failing that, it will look for /usr/lib/X11/fvwm95/system.fvwm95rc for system-wide defaults. If that file is not found, fvwm95 will be basically useless.

Re: [S.u.S.E. Linux] FAX solutions and dial in

27 Feb '98

For getting the box to answer the phone and allow a login, edit your /etc/inittab file. Near the bottom of the page is a line commented out like this: # modem getty. # mo:23:respawn:/usr/sbin/mgetty -s 38400 modem if you uncomment the "mo:23:respawn....." line, your computer will answer the phone and allow the user to login normally. There are also lines pertaining to fax and voice, but I have not yet played with those. I have used the modem getty and dialed into my box from Delrina WinComm Pro 7.0 on win95, hyperterminal from win95 and minicom and seyon on linux --- all work perfectly. mc Carsten Hoeger wrote: > On Thu, 26 Feb 1998, Michael Perry wrote: > > > I am curious about faxing solutions and the package included in SuSE 5.1 > > which seems to be a hybrid hylafax program.

Re: [S.u.S.E. Linux] glibc
by svet＠alamo.satlug.org 27 Feb '98

27 Feb '98

I agree with this synopsis. I was asked to compare and rate RedHat 5.0 and S.u.S.E. Linux 5.1 for some individuals I work with as what Linux is better and to find an good alternative for Win95. These individuals had heard much about RedHat 5.0 in the press, however I was a bit more skeptical and got a free machine to test RedHat 5.0. For fairness, I also reloaded from S.u.S.E 5.1 from scratch. I tried to be as impartial as possible (hard, since I've used 5.1 since December) however, the problems I had with recompling kernel modules and other things with glibc on RedHat just weren't there with SuSE. Plus, I hate not having YaST. It is diffcult to do any configurations quickly on RedHat before you get X set up and have access to Glint. Here is where I need YaSt the most, in the initial set up after the install. RedHat just don't have it. However, I can deal with that. What i can't deal with is program that won't compile right or run properly because of the libraries. It would be nice if glibc would be all that it is promised, however I think RedHat's decision to switch at such a time was a bad one. I think to myself, the press just raved about RH 5.0, however, what would they have said if they saw a more stable Linux? I know that I covinced others from getting RH 5.0 and to think seriously about SuSE just by presentation. If glibc is going to be used, make sure it is stable...because now, i think it is a pain.

If you want to change the email option, you can search for a string like pine. I found it handy to change the default mailer that comes up with the mail notifier also by editing the string line for coolmail in the button bar. You can also add more menu options on the menu you get when left clicking on the desktop by adding additional programs, separating them with lines, etc. I also commented out the fvwmbutton bar in .fvwm2rc and use tkdesk instead. I found it easier to add icons and programs to tkdesk. Open an xterm and type "tkdesk" or "tkdesk &" and see if you like it. Hope this helps you find a few things in the .fvwm2rc file. -- --Michael Perry-- mperry(a)basin.com -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

Hi, I am a little new to suse but so far like it alot. I cannot seem to find the files that configure the window manager. I want to change some of the drop down menus and also change the mailer to mutt instead of pine. Can anyone tell me where these files are located. Also when I install OSS, I again cannot find those files to run the setup. Please point me in the rith direction.

I've recently used both Redhat 5.0 (only for a bit) and Debian hamm. I would agree that glibc isn't ready for prime time just yet, but hopefully will be by this summer. Redhat 5.0 was not a 'clean' product (any readhat machines i deal with... including a few sparcs... are staying with 4.2 at least until 5.1 is out and stable) --Simon On Thu, 26 Feb 1998, James Gray wrote: > > Hi! > > Regarding the recent request for glibc...we will have glibc in S.u.S.E. > Linux 6.0 this summer.

I had the exact same problem. It was my network card. I moved it to another slot and told the bios to clear all the previous settings. It worked fine after that.

If I can get this up and running and my boss likes it i can probably get him to but me a couple copies. Thanks. I'm afraid this is not as easy as you think. The CDs contain some more (hidden) files to let YaST know which CD is in the drive etc. This is not documented for obvios resons. And anyway, I think it will be cheaper for you boss to buy a copy, then paying you for the time you need to split up the ftp contents to CDs...

Keyboard problems in Enlightenment using XSuSE NVidia Server Well, it just doesn't work. :) Any ideas? In FVWM the keyboard works fine.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] FAX solutions and dial in
by mperry＠basin.com 26 Feb '98

26 Feb '98

Hi all- I am curious about faxing solutions and the package included in SuSE 5.1 which seems to be a hybrid hylafax program. I tried previously to get hylafax working on a standalone system here at the house and now I have a requirement to get something going. I only need to fax out at the moment. Has anyone configured and used the hylafax program that is included with SuSE? There was a thread on the mailing list awhile ago regarding dialing into a SuSE system but I had some slight problems and seem to have lost the physical articles that I had archived. Can someone point me to a faq or howto about dialing in? Primarily, I would dial in with a modem to my linux box here at the house, get files I need to work on, etc.I do not need any internet connectivity; only a dialin much like what I used to do with NT. -- --Michael Perry-- mperry(a)basin.com -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

I'm amazed and astounded! For a mere 50 bucks [ gals spend more than that on a nail job] you can HAVE the CDs (in a nice case!) and with a dandy book that explains it all. If your boss is too cheap to jump at this, maybe you should find a better job, and leave him to his M$ world. And if you don't think you can afford this, you may wish to consider the worth of your time. And besides, why would you need a couple copies? It seems one would do nicely.

It's definately an IRP conflict. I asked the same question to the list. Check the archives, that's prolli why no one is answering you.

I'v installed the XSuSE_NVidia and xf86config, configured it for the STB Velocity 128 card, but when startx is run, the machine hangs and the screen goes black. I'm not sure if the card is sharing IRQ with another card, since I'm not able to find what IRQ the AGP card is running on. >I'm able to use the XF86_VGA16 to run X on this card......but it would be great if I realy could use this cards resources under X...... :) > >Anyone had the same experience with the XSuse_NVidia driver? > >------------------------------------------------------------------- >IDG New Media Einar Bordewich >System Manager Phone: +47 2205 3034 >E-Mail: eibo(a)newmedia.no >------------------------------------------------------------------- > > >-- >To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with >this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e > > "Calm down.
