Asterisk on Suse minimal installation based on Suse Rescue - what to add to be bootable on HD partition ?
by Robert Rozman 25 Jul '05

25 Jul '05

Hi, I'm trying to go route some of Asterisk users already proposed for Asterisk minimal system. I've started from Suse Rescue system image - I've put it into HD partition. But since rescue is spawned from working system it has empty /boot directories and is not directly bootable if put on HD. I've tried to transfer or install kernel and grub to this partition, but no success (I first access to partition with chroot to make additions...). I get errors on kernel rpm -ivh installation (I guess there are no directories and dependencies found in chroot) and also get error on "grub-install /dev/hda7": Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device Is there anyone more experienced with some advice, howto or example what need to be added to partition to be bootable on HD ? Thanks in advance, regards, Rob.

I need a command line based packet sniffer. (I would use tethereal but this system has no graphical stuff.) ALl it needs to do is collect raw packets for analysis by ethereal on a different box. Thank you, Lucky Leavell

MPlayer Plugin hangs
by John Bailo 09 Jul '05

I installed the MPlayer plugin so I could play WM in Firefox. However, when it starts, it seems to load ok, but stops and says "buffering 0%". Has anybody got this working in 9.2 ?

Can the 9.1 installer resize an NTFS partition?
by Paul W. Abrahams 30 Jun '05

30 Jun '05

I just attempted to install SuSE 9.1 on my new Dell Inspiron 1000 laptop. When I got to the point of trying to resize the Windows partition (NTFS), I was prevented from doing so because it was mounted. So I removed the mount point and tried again. This time the resize operation did nothing -- no response when I pressed Alt-S. So I tried using a custom partition, and I got a message to the effect that this type of Windows partition could not be resized. The odd thing here is that several people reported in an earlier thread on this subject that they succeeded in resizing the NTFS partition. So I'm wondering why I got a different result than they did. Fortunately I have a way around it by using Partition Manager, but it would be nice if I could use the provided SuSE tools without having to resort to that. Paul

wireless adapter
by Ken Schneider 22 Jun '05

After searching the archives going back six months I have not been able to find much using "wireless" as the search string. I am contemplating buying a wireless router and pcmcia adapter for my laptop and would like to have any recommendations as to what to buy. I currently use a Linksys router and have never had problems and may want to stay with the same brand but a change is not out of the question. If you want to reply directly to me to keep list traffic low that will be fine. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989 SuSE since 1998 * Only reply to the list please*

About all the test mails to the list
by Anders Johansson 14 Jun '05

14 Jun '05

There doesn't have to be 15-20 mail with 'test' or 'is the list down' There is an archive at lists.suse.com/archive. If there hasn't been a new entry there, odds are the list is down. There is a test list, which you can subscribe to at test-list-subscribe(a)suse.com - if you can't, odds are the list server is malfunctioning, or you will get an error message explaining what the problem is. There is an admin, who doesn't always monitor this list, but whom you can make aware of any problems at suse-linux-e-owner(a)suse.com, assuming it's a local suse-linux-e problem, or ml-admin(a)suse.com if it's a general list server problem.
