Thanks for the all the suggestions. I tried the following at the lilo boot prompt: linux disablepic vga=ask then selected mode 0, and this did the trick and I was able to logon in text mode. Installed the package for the new video card (followed some instructions and ran some make scripts), re

This might not apply to all of you... but I've noticed recently that when I select lines from a screen session of things (like mutt, or irssi, or vi) and paste them somewhere else they appear as one big line, with a bunch of space characters at the "end" of the window. ~/.screenrc === defbce on

Suse uses larger framebuffer consoles, and graphics when it boots into text, so probably the new card is not as supported in these modes as the old one does, and when it tries to use them all you get is a blank screen. One idea is to use the suse install disk and boot to rescue, edit the lilo

I recently replaced the video card in my desktop (dual boot Suse8.0/WinXP) from an ATI Radeon AIW to a Radeon 9500. When I now boot in linux I get the Suse Lilo boot menu, and then past that point all I get is a blank screen. I've tried booting to just textmode (runlevel 2), but same thing - blank

Re: [vox-tech] Secure file serving?

2003-03-13 Thread Bill Broadley
I'd recommend AFS. Fairly secure, handles WAN type usage better then samba or nfs. There are clients windows, linux, and many other OS's. Check out openafs.org. If not it sounds like you want your a generic VPN, you can tunnel over SSH, or pick one of the other free VPN setups. On Tue, Mar 11,
