Any chance there's some subnet conflict going on (ie, the Ethernet and wireless networks trying to use addresses on the same subnet)? What does `ip addr` report about the interfaces when you're connected to the Ethernet? -- 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

Recommend 100baseFX NIC?
by Chris Carlen 01 Jun '06

01 Jun '06

Hi: I have Suse 9.1, with kernel 2.6.5-7.95. Current NIC is (from dmesg) 3c59x: Donald Becker and others. www.scyld.com/network/vortex.html 0000:00:0e.0: 3Com PCI 3c905B-FX Cyclone 100baseFx at 0xb000. Vers LK1.1.19 0000:00:0e.0: Media override to transceiver type 5 (100baseFX). I had to add an option to get it to work with the fibers. I think we have SC connectors. I am having other problems, and would like to try a different NIC. Any good recommendations for a SC connector 100baseFX NIC? Thanks. -- Good day! ________________________________________ Christopher R.

[SLE] 64 bit clock
by James Knott 01 Jun '06

01 Jun '06

With 32 bit CPUs, the clock is supposed to roll over to 0, in the not too distant future. Has this issue been resolved in the 64 bit version of Linux? What will we do when 64 bit clocks roll over to 0? ;-) -- 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

Hi. How can I update to KDE 3.5.3 on my SuSE 10.0 ?. I have smart installed, and installed the KDE update for SuSE10.1. But when I ran smart update, I got this info: error: Configuration is in read only mode Erik Jakobsen. -- 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

[SLE] Internet install SL 10.1 freezes
by Jos van Kan 01 Jun '06

01 Jun '06

Did anyone succeed in completing an installation of SL 10.1 over the internet? In trying to do an installation onto a Parallels VM of 10,1 I had to jump through a couple of hoops (partition the virtual HD to offer a swap partition or Yast wouldn't start, load a NE2000 driver for the virtual ethernet card), but finally, after a 78MB download, the familiar Yast installation screen appeared . That was the good news. The bad news is that the process suffocates in step 3 "Initializing catalogs". The little clock at the mouse pointer turns for like 10 minutes and then it stops and everything hangs. At first I thought it was a Parallels thing, but in the Linux forum at least four people mentioned the same problem, none having stumbled on a solution. Because everything hangs, I can't look at logs or whatever, so that makes life a little difficult. :-) I'm still using 9.3 as my main system, but I wanted to have a look at 10.1. So it's not a matter of life or death, but it boggles the mind somewhat. The VM uses 256 MB of the available 512MB and the size of the virtual swap partition is 512MB. Ideas?

[SLE] Wireless network is shut down when ethernet cable is plugged in
by Christoph Bartoschek 01 Jun '06

01 Jun '06

Hi, I am using most of the time the wireless network to access the intranet and internet. Sometimes however I have to plug my notebook into an ethernet network that I cannot reach by the wireless network. As soon as I plug in the ethernet cable the wireless network is shut down and I am not able to start it again. This only works when I disconnect the ethernet cable. How can I configure the network interfaces such that the wireless connection survives plugging in the network cable? I am using the traditional networks scripts.

The 3.5.3 packages are fresh and untested, so I guess yes. :-) Bye, Steve -- 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

[SLE] KDE supplementary yast-source discontinued?
by solenoid (lists) 01 Jun '06

01 Jun '06

Hi, I used to update my KDE and GNOME by adding yast-source paths from various suse mirror servers to my instalation sources list in Yast... One example is this: ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/update_… Other ones, similar to the above, were available for 10.0, and both for 32 and for 64bit... I assume many members of this list know and use this. BTW I myself learned that from this list some time ago... Now (and it started from May 26th as far as I noticed) all the mirrors, one by one, started removing the KDE update directory structures. There is a README file put instead, pointing to some open suse repositiries. But, these repositories are not formaly structured in the way that is acceptable by Yast as a valid yast-source, so I can not use Yast for this purpose any more. So, what we have here? One fine fully-functional and very convenient mechanism for upgrading if discontinued, with no adequate substitute given. And, yes, this is true *for KDE only*. Because, in the same time, yast-sources for GNOME continued to work in the old fashioned way... (at least whithin last week or so)... Does it have anything to do with the "gnome orienation" declared by Novell some time ago? I understood that it meant just putting more support in the gnome branch comparing to the kde one - not explicit crippling of the kde support and putting blocking obstacles in the way of kde users... Or is it just first move in the direction of replacing yast updater with something new (as I see it is happening with 10.1 right now)??? As a user who *bought* at least one box (mostly two) of each from the following list (6.3, 6.4, 7.0, 7.1, 7.3, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2, 9.0, 9.1, 9.3 and 10.0) and who took the freedom to choose kde instead of gnome - I feel *very bad* now. Or, it is me who missed something obvious? Any comments....suse people on the list anyone...

[SLE] Software Selections
by Siegbert Baude 01 Jun '06

01 Jun '06

Hi, as manually saving and loading software selections disappeared out of yast (see bug https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=156593), I wanted to know how you achieve the same with autoyast as this was mentioned as workaround in the bug report. I want to add this in the wiki under http://en.opensuse.org/Using_10.1#Package_Management but first I should know the solution myself. ;-) Thanks in advance for your help!
