Jaz and Modem woes on Suse.
Dear all,
Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere, but I am having (unrelated?) problems with Suse 9.2 recognising my modem and Jaz drive.
Modem first.
I can configure the modem using Yast, and get a message saying its configured as modem0. I then get asked if I want to set up the mail and say no as I am only trying Suse out and don't want it grabbing all my mail headers.
Trouble is Qinternet (and indeed Kinternet) don't dial out. I get a message saying that they could not contact the server. Looking in the settings shows that there is no modem listed. I am a member of the dialup group so don't think thats the problem. Watching the boot messages shows that the modem is recognised, but as manual. Any ideas? Where do the respective config files live?
Jaz drive.
This is annoying. Gnome recognised that there was new hardware when I first booted with the jaz connected. I was asked if I wanted to configure. I said yes, but then it started the partitioner. I don't want to partition it I want to mount it.
In redhat there is a mounting tool, but there does not appear to be one in Suse.
Manual mounting does not work. Creating a directory in /mnt called jaz and trying mount -t auto /dev/sda /mnt/jaz gives the error
'please give a file system (or something similar), which is odd as this works in redhat. It looks like auto is not recognised?
mount -t ext2 /dev/sda /mnt/jaz
complains about wrong file system, bad super block. Even though the jaz disk is an ext2 disk.
I cannot find a way to get yast to recognose the jaz drive, but I know its there from the boot messages as sda.
Finally what's happend to the locate command? locate locate just gives an error.
Hope someone can help
John.
