Dell 2650/Perc3 Raid Controller easy switch??
by shado＠mc.net 25 Apr '03

25 Apr '03

I am currently using a Dell 2650 Poweredge server without a raid controller. It's using the standard adaptec onboard SCSI as it stands. I'm wondering if anyone has installed the Perc3 raid controller and had the Linux install just pop right up (assuming the megaraid module was loading)? I wouldn't need to reformat if all I was doing was switching controllers and hardware mirroring, right? Thanks, Rich shado(a)mc.net

Can't find audio cd
by Michael Fischer 28 Feb '03

28 Feb '03

Having this problem on two different machines, both runnig 8.0. A different 7.1 installation has no problem. Xmms and Grip both do not find any files in /cdrom with an audio CD in the tray. Permissions on /cdrom, and the devices pointed to are identical between the machine where the audio CD is found, and machines where they are not. Unfortunately, I can't use the 7.1 machine for the sound editing work I need to do. Suggestions? TIA. Michael -- Michael Fischer Happiness is a config option. michael(a)visv.net Recompile and be happy.

APC Back-UPS CS 350VA USB and SuSE 7.3
by Christopher D. Reimer 24 Feb '03

24 Feb '03

Greetings! I'm thinking about getting an APC Back-UPS CS 350VA USB to automatically shutdown my small file/DSL/firewall server (AOpen micro-ATX motherboard, Cyrix M2-333Mhz, 128MB, 10GB IDE hard drive, SCSI cdrom drive, and no monitor). Does anyone have any experience with this particular UPS? Does the stock SuSE 7.3 kernel support a USB UPS or do I have to hack and patch the kernel to make it work? Recommend a similar model with serial support for under $100 USD? Thanks! Christopher Reimer

Samba Server And Suse 8.0 Setup.
by jonathan 23 Jan '03

23 Jan '03

Hello I have basically a suse samba server setup. Eth0 is for the internet connection (cable). Eth1 is my internal network. I use eth1 for my samba server. When i have the shares/ drive letters mapped, whatever, Ill goto access them and that computer will just lockup or timeout for about 1 minute, then it will resume operation normally. I have approx. 5 comptuers on the suse server, and they all do this from windows xp to windows 98se. I am using set up addresses of 192.168.0.x, where is greater than 2. My question is have or is there something Ive setup wrong to cause this pause to occur. ? Its becomming very annoying..and frustrating. Im using kernel 2.4.18-64GB-SMP with a dual processor setup. If anyone has any ideas please let me know. Every package installed is orginal versions from the suse install cdroms. (no updates done). Anything come to mind. btw, ive replaced the switch, with a new netgear one, and all the networks at startech ST100 Realtek 8139 chipsets on 100Tx. Anyone... !

how to mount a vfat filesystem with mod 777 ?
by Ulrich Schneider 23 Dec '02

23 Dec '02

Imagine the following situation: - computer 1 has linux running and there is a vfat partition mounted - computer 1 is running samba on that vfat partition (i.e. the vfat partition is a share of samba) - computer 2 wants to have write acces on the samba share The problem is, that computer 2 has no write acces, because the vfat partition is mounted 755. The samba.conf file is the following: [public] comment = Schreibbares Verzeichnis path=/home/sure/netzwerk/public public=yes readonly=no browseable=yes create mask=777 How can I make the partition mounted as mod 777 ? Thanks in advance ! Ulrich Schneider

Re: Corel Wordperfect 2000 for Linux
by Thomas E. Beasley, Jr. 26 Oct '02

26 Oct '02

Does anyone know where you can find a copy of Corel's Wordperfect Office 2000 for Linux? I've been using WP since the dos days. If I can get WP on my Linux box, I can discard my Microsoft 98 partition. If that's a no go, will WP Windows version work on Crossover Office? StarOffice just doesn't have the features I'm looking for. Thanks, Tom This message originated from a Unix computer using Open Source software: SuSE Linux 7.2 Pro, Galeon 1.0.3 Browser, AbiWord 0.99.3 Word Processor, Ximian Gnome 1.4.0.6 and Evolution 1.0.3 Groupware Suite. Have a lot of fun!!! (Unix is like a wigwam -- no Gates, no Windows, and an Apache inside.)
