RE: [SLE] Two NIC's in one box
by Jonathan Cowherd 01 Nov '02

01 Nov '02

Look at: http://lists.arm.linux.org.uk/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2001-May/002919.htm l I think that the NICs must be able to support MAC assignment. There are a only a few cards that do, usually called server adapters. I think only CISCO supports it at the switch level, so if you start getting packet lose, it may be either not be turned on or not supported.

AFAIK, channel aggregation could be made to work, with effort. It's a little more than giving the same IPs to the NICs. Get the latest kernel and look in networking section. I'm not sure that this is all it takes, sorry for not beeing able to tell more than "yes it can be done". -- Silviu Marin-Caea Systems Engineer Linux/Unix http://www.genesys.ro Phone +40723-267961 -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq(a)suse.com

By Matthew Broersma ZDNet (UK) October 29, 2002, 9:09 AM PT Linux distributor SuSE is hoping to get desktop users to switch to its operating system with a new edition of its software specifically designed for office workers--including software that allows it to run Microsoft Office and other Windows applications. In January SuSE will launch, through its resellers, SuSE Linux Office Desktop, a distribution aimed at small to medium-sized enterprises. The package includes SuSE Linux 8.1 and applications designed to ease Windows users' transition to Linux. Read the rest of the article at: http://zdnet.com.com/2100-1104-963703.html Looks, like someone's busting a move. Good luck guys! Curtis

NFS export problem
by jaakko tamminen 01 Nov '02

01 Nov '02

Hi I used to have working NFS export in my router box (SuSE 8.0) Now after online-update, I can't export anymore... I have correct entry in /etc/exports, and have tried different variations, but no luck. I have edited the /etc/exports with Yast, manually and with webmin. Nothing works. From the client (also SuSE8.0) side I see: jaska:# mount hepe:/ /mnt/hepe/ mount: hepe:/ failed, reason given by server: Permission denied And from the server /var/log/messages I see: Nov 1 17:25:47 hepe rpc.mountd: refused mount request from jaska for / (/):no export entry I'm stuck.. can't get it to work anymore.. help...?

Upgrading Linux from NFS Server.
by Prabu Subroto 01 Nov '02

01 Nov '02

Dear friends, I am trying to upgrade my network from SuSE Linux 7.3 and 8.0 to SuSE Linux 8.1 simultenously with NFS. I found the documentation on SuSE Homepage (www.suse.com) and try to implement this upgrading strategy with single directory. I've done this steps : 1. Making directory for source : "mkdir /usr/AUTO cd /usr/AUTO mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom cd /media/cdrom " 2. I copied all the cd1, cd2, cd3 and cd4 to "/usr/AUTO" with this command : " cp -av /media/cdrom . " 3. I mounted the "/usr/AUTO" as NFS Server with yast2. But than I have ridiculous problem on client side. I can not mount it even I configured the NFS client with YaST2. I get this error message everytime I execute 'rcnfs restart' : " prabusubroto:/localhome/ilham # rcnfs restart Remove Net File System (NFS) done Importing Net File System (NFS)mount: RPC: Timed out mount: RPC: Timed out failed " This is my "/etc/exports" on my server station : " transistor:~ # cat /etc/exports /home *(rw) /usr/AUTO/ *(ro) /sementara/installer/netscape/ *(ro) " and this is my "/etc/fstab" on my client side : " prabu@prabusubroto:/etc> cat fstab /dev/hda7 / ext2 defaults 1 1 /dev/hda5 /boot ext2 defaults 1 2 /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0 /dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto noauto,user,sync 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/hda1 /windows/C vfat noauto,user 0 0 /dev/hda6 swap swap pri=42 0 0 usbdevfs /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs noauto 0 0 192.168.23.1:/home /home nfs rw 0 0 192.168.23.1:/usr/AUTO /sementara/usr/AUTO nfs ro 0 0 192.168.23.1:/sementara/installer/netscape /sementara/installer/netscape nfs ro 0 0 " What's wrong my friend ? Where is my fault ? Please tell me, I am getting exhausted because of this problem. Thank you very much in advance. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Some, like the Powercolor have the speed fo the chip way down compared to the ATI hardware. The Hercules isn't too bad though. Hope that helps, RikD.

Re: [SLE] 8.1 - Kernel panic, install support non-existent

For your info, suse 7.3 also crashes: perhaps its simply worse in > 8.1. Yep, little hard to switch once the kernel decides it wants to go freaky. I've had both 7.3 and 8.0 installed on this computer with absolutely no problems except known bugs that were easy to fix. I've tested installing RH8 and Mandrake 9 since they're both i586/gcc3.2 optimized. Both run fine, I just don't like their setup, esp. not RH. But SuSE 8.1 just doesn't want to work. Installs fine, may even run for a bit. Then the random kernel panic... Joe

I found 'ls -b' gives me the same data. Unfortunately, I still don't know how to get rid of it. Your find suggestion gives: /tmp # find /tmp -exec rm -- '{}' \; rm: `/tmp' is a directory rm: `/tmp/.X11-unix' is a directory rm: `/tmp/.ICE-unix' is a directory rm: `/tmp/.qt' is a directory find: /tmp/ Ï: No such file or directory find: /tmp/ Ï: No such file or directory find: /tmp/ Ï: No such file or directory find: /tmp/ Ï: No such file or directory find: /tmp/ Ï: No such file or directory find: /tmp/ Ï: No such file or directory find: /tmp/ Ï: No such file or directory find: /tmp/ Ï: No such file or directory find: /tmp/ Ï: No such file or directory find: /tmp/ Ï: No such file or directory find: /tmp/ Ï: No such file or directory find: /tmp/ Ï: No such file or directory find: /tmp/`»³Ì: No such file or directory find: /tmp/ Ï: No such file or directory find: /tmp/ Ï: No such file or directory find: /tmp/ Ï: No such file or directory find: /tmp/ Ï: No such file or directory find: /tmp/ Ï: No such file or directory find: /tmp/ Ï: No such file or directory find: /tmp/ Ï: No such file or directory find: /tmp/ Ï: No such file or directory find: /tmp/ Ï: No such file or directory find: /tmp/ Ï: No such file or directory find: /tmp/ Ï: No such file or directory find: /tmp/à®»Å: No such file or directory find: /tmp/à»Å: No such file or directory find: /tmp/`¬»Å: No such file or directory find: /tmp/ Ï: No such file or directory find: /tmp/ Ï: No such file or directory find: /tmp/ Ï: No such file or directory find: /tmp/ Ï: No such file or directory find: /tmp/ Ï: No such file or directory find: /tmp/ Ï: No such file or directory find: /tmp/ Ï: No such file or directory find: /tmp/ Ï: No such file or directory find: /tmp/`»³Ì: No such file or directory find: /tmp/ Ï: No such file or directory find: /tmp/ÀVÎ: No such file or directory find: /tmp/ Œ#Ì: No such file or directory Greg Freemyer Internet Engineer Deployment and Integration Specialist Compaq ASE - Tru64 v4, v5 Compaq Master ASE - SAN Architect The Norcross Group www.NorcrossGroup.com

Can't find lnxzip on my 8.1 release. But before I download it, does anyone know whether it handles encrypted zip files? The project page doesn't say. Ark doesn't seem to handle them. I think gunzip does, but I'd like a GUI program. Cheers, TonyB

For those with no patience left
by Serguei Chabanov 01 Nov '02

01 Nov '02

http://coredistro.sourceforge.net/ "Core was born of frustration with the current crop of Linux distributions which attempt to meet the needs of every possible Linux user. In doing so, they are loaded with extraneous garbage which not only annoys, but also limits the power user. Core is a revolt against this style of distribution in favor of a simple, infinitely configurable, minimalist form." I see their point. I think I'm gonna give it a try on a separate partition, see if I know enough linux. Perhaps 7CD worth of software is really too much complexity to manage. After all, by switching from 8.0 to 8.1 I got way more problems then I had, and many other people did too. Someone actually recompiled Mozilla to distribute! Isn't that SuSE's work? I can hear some saying that I should have waited to see how it fares. But its not like it is version 9.0! It is supposed to be an improvement on version 8.0!!! Why do we get a new kernel people can't even boot?!! Arrggghhh, I'm loosing my patience too. Cool keramics style though. Regards, Serguei
