Bonjour,
Depuis quelques jours j'ai installé Suse Linux 9.1 Professional sur un
de mes PC.
Malheureusement je n'arrive pas à installer mon modem Alcatel Speed
Touch USB sous Linux.
Les P&T Luxembourg ne pouvaient pas m'aider, étant donner qu'ils offrent
de l'aide seulement pour les utilisateurs de MS Windows.
Est-ce que vous pourriez m'aider à ce sujet ?
Merci à l'avance

Hi,
after having seen Brent play around with QEMU, I decided to give it
a try - and it is indeed nice, even if it feels slower than VMWare.
I've got one problem though, which is networking - the documentation
is frankly lacking, and I didn't as yet find out how to set up
bridged networking (i.e. what VMWare normally does). I did google,
but the results there are also not what I expected (including google
groups).
Does someone have pointers to *decent* documentation for this stuff?
TIA, Eric
Hi
I recently upgraded via YOU to this kernel and since then, I can't mount any
CDROM Drive. The kernel always says: No medium found.
I thought that it was an error in my bios settings, but in Knoppix all went
fine.
Before I do a downgrade to my previous kernel, I want to ask if someone heard
about bugs of this kernel-version.
Thanks.

Hi,
I don't know where and what I'm doing wrong.
I'm using SuSE Linux 9.x [x<2] and I don't have a printer, so I often
print to PDF wich I print at another location ($ORKPLACE)
When I go to a webpage using KDE's Konqueror and want to print it, I'm
able to print it to a PDF document. However, when I'm using Mozilla (no
time yet to install Firefox) I only get the option to print to .ps ..!
How come? where can I change the settings?
thanks
Serge

Hello,
When starting kaffeine in SusE 9.2 with my centrino on-board chip sound,
it says: "All drivers failed to initialize". It is the same with
MPlayer, who crashes a start-up. When I reconfigure the sound system
with yast, every hing works just fine until I reboot the system. What
can I do to keep sound system running by default?
In addition to that I have quite the same trouble with kpowersave in the
KDE system tray who doesn't show the suspend options until i re-run the
yast-powermanagement.
Thanks a lot
Frédéric Becker.
Hi,
@work, I'm using VMWare 3.1 on my desktop for different tasks. On
that machine, I run Debian Sarge (testing) with a 2.4 kernel.
To prepare a course for instance, I used it to generate screenshots
from a booting Knoppix CD - which worked just fine in VMWare.
(obviouly without VMWare tools installed - they only get to be
installed on a fully "installed" guest OS, which can't be done
with a Knoppix CD)
Now, I installed VMWare on my Laptop, which also runs Debian Sarge,
for this task under a 2.4.27 kernel (I normally run 2.6.8.1).
Booting Knoppix under VMWare, I have an extremely "slow" mouse,
whether I use the integrated touchpad or an external USB mouse.
This means that for "normal" mouse movements, I only get a few
pixels' worth ov movement of the cursor.
N.b. just booting the laptop from Knoppix is no problem at all.
Does anyone have an idea what's happening there, and how I could
fix that problem?
TIA, Eric
Hi again,
so far I still got no candidates for the networking course.
I took the liberty of writing a tentative abstract (hence v0.1),
this has until tomorrow before becoming definite ;-).
Please have a look at it. If you see something where you feel like
"hey, I could do that part!", please do contact me. It's not like a
single person would have to do the entire course (unless so wanted).
You're welcome to do one part of this stuff...
Greetings, Eric
Hi,
as for the previous LinuxDays, LiLux will also organize two
courses for the next edition, on January 25th and 26th.
These two courses are
- Linux Basics / Basic Linux Usage (or whatever it'll be called)
Here the goal is to teach "normal users" how to make use of a
GNU/Linux desktop.
The course will be half a day, i.e. 2x 1h30min, according to
the current schedule it would be on January 25th in the morning.
We so far have two volunteers to organize this course, Jule and
Pascal.
- Linux Networking (or whatever the name will be)
Here the goal is to teach everything concerning basic connectivity,
from ifconfig to routing to packet filters, QoS, VLANs and VPNs.
The course will be half a day, i.e. 2x 1h30min, according to
the current schedule it would be on January 25th in the afternoon.
We as yet lack volunteers for organizing this course, except for
Alain Rassel who's agreed to do the VPN part.
Now is the time to write up the abstracts, including the detail
of what exactly will be the contents of the courses - I have to
provide them to the LinuxDays team this friday morning. There
should be two versions of the abstract, one short (~1 paragraph)
and one longer (~1/2 - 1 page) with the details of the contents
and pre-requirements, so people can have an idea of what they'll
get.
Also, it will in time be necessary to know on which Linux
distribution the individual courses will take place, so the
LinuxDays team can prepare the hardware accordingly.
So, we absolutely need to find out who will help out with the
networking course, both groups will need to sit together and
write up the title, abstracts for the courses, and provide these
to me in time so I can provide them on friday morning.
I'm willing to help out for the preparation of the networking
course (especially the VLAN part, as I've got a little experience
there), but won't be able to participate in it's presentation,
as I'm already taken by another course.
If you're feeling confident about some subject matter, but are
not willing to stand in front of a room full of people, you're
still welcome in helping prepare the course.
We do have some presentations and courses from other occasions
which can be used as a basis for these courses, which may need
updating though.
Someone or Some-Several will also be welcome to man the LiLux
stand during the LinuxDays.
So, please, volunteers, step up and tell us how you can help us
get this done! Thanks in advance,
Eric
P.S. Alain Knaff also agreed to do the Samba part of the 2-day
Server tutorial, which is done mostly by "externals" and a few
people from the CRP Henri Tudor.
Hi,
in case you're encountering DHCP problems with Knoppix, this may be
due to poor interaction between Knoppix's "pump" and a combination
of Cisco DHCP Proxy / MS-Windows-based DHCP server (can't trace it
more precisely than that right now).
All is well if you use dhclient or dhcpcd (both of which not included
with Knoppix) instead of pump - transfer the Debian testing dhcp-client
debian package to the Knoppix machine and install it using dpkg, that'll
do the trick.
The problem was noticed & solved while setting up a Knoppix demo PC.
Greetings, Eric
