[SLE] problems with inn
by suselist＠ASR-Technology.ltd.uk 24 Feb '00

24 Feb '00

Hi all, Ive been running a local news server with inn for the past 6 months, and today for the first time I ran the news.daily file to clean it up, since it seemed to be taking up a lot of space. When I did this, it cleaned up a few things, and deleted some of the older mail, but it also reported that the server had stopped. So I tried restarting it, and it seems to have worked, but I can no longer connect to it either through a client on another computer, nor can the news.poll script connect to it after retrieving the articles. It says refused connection when I try to connect. Since it seems to be starting up OK (even tried a reboot) Im not too sure where to start looking to alleviate the problem. Does anyone have any suggestions please?

Hi all, This question has nothing to do with Linux, SuSE, or computers, sorry. :) Does anyone outthere know when the German Post stopped being open on Sundays and Holidays? In the US it was in 1913. BTW, I've got a couple of post cards dated Janruary 1, 1900. Thanks for your help!

[SLE] Messages after installing 2.2.14
by nbea＠ecn.ulaval.ca 24 Feb '00

24 Feb '00

Hi all I just installed the 2.2.14 kernel on my 6.2 box (it was about time!). I only wanted to waste some time to learn how it works and know if I can make it. Well, I've made it! But there are some messages during the boot process that really bug me. I would like to know: a) If these messages are important. That is, if something's dangerous for my box to let it go that way... b) How can I stop these messages? The 2 messages are the following, from /var/log/messages: #1) Something's wrong with System.map: Feb 23 19:15:02 modemcable065 kernel: Inspecting /boot/System.map Feb 23 19:15:02 modemcable065 kernel: Symbol table has incorrect version number. Feb 23 19:15:02 modemcable065 kernel: Inspecting /System.map Feb 23 19:15:02 modemcable065 kernel: Loaded 8472 symbols from /System.map. Feb 23 19:15:02 modemcable065 kernel: Symbols match kernel version 2.2.14. Feb 23 19:15:02 modemcable065 kernel: Loaded 50 symbols from 2 modules. Now I know that /boot/System.map is the original one from 6.2, and there is a brand new one in /System.map, a little bigger. I have searched this list for such a problem and found a solution that looked like this: edit /etc/lilo.conf in order to have a : map = /path_of_the_System.map_associated_to_specific_kernel When I run lilo after doing this: Syntax error near line 14 in file /etc/lilo.conf What's the matter? man lilo.conf talks about the map= options and it doesn't work? #2) from var/log/messages but also many many times during the boot process: Feb 23 19:15:46 modemcable065 insmod: Note: /etc/conf.modules is more recent than /lib/modules/2.2.14/modules.dep That is normal, because when I first compiled the kernel, I had to repair something about char-major-4 for the serial modules.... Changed it to char-major-4 off. But do I have to worry?

[SLE] How to instal libjpeg-6b in SuSE 6.3. Is it possible?? It's really urgent...
by dexter_linux＠yahoo.com 24 Feb '00

24 Feb '00

Hi all. I'm from Brazil and this is the first time I'm writing to this mailing list. I know this topic has already been discussed here but I need to know if there is a way to fix this problem. Well, what I'd like to ask is if you know how to install LIBJPEG-6B in SuSE 6.3. I'm not sure but I guess Red Hat 6.1 has both versions of libjpeg installed in the system. I'd like to do it with SuSE 6.3 (I liked SuSE distr. too much to change to RH, but I really want to upgrade some programs and they need libjpeg-6b) but I don't think I have enough know-how to try to do it alone (I've already done many thing by myself but this one I think is too much difficult to me). is it possible to install both versions? Or to upgrade the old one? Please, I really need to use SuSE but I need this problem fixed. Thank you all and excuse me if I've committed any mistake. See you..

[SLE] Interesting HD crash ...
by JerryKreps＠alltel.net 24 Feb '00

24 Feb '00

Because of possible thunderstorms last night I decided to shutdown my SuSE 6.3 box and unplug my ADSL from the phone jack and my UPS from the power socket. The shutdown proceeded without any indications of trouble. I hadn't rebooted in I don't know how many days, but I wasn't expecting any trouble. This evening, I plugged everything back in and turn on the box... The first indications of trouble were: "hdb: dma_intr: status=0X51 {DriveReady SeekComplete Error} hdb: dma_intr: 0X40 {UncorrectableError}, LBAsect=1407170, sector=2" DMA interrupt error? UncorrectableError in my LBA? This looked serious. It continued: "end_request: I/O error, dev 03:42 (hdb, sector 2) fsck.ext2: Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read while trying to open /dev/hdb2 Could this be a zero length partition? /dev/hda5: clean, 11645/260096 files, 535546/1038208 blocks failed /sbin/init.d/kbd: /usr/bin/find doesn't exist. Exit" and then the normal failed boot message and suggestions followed. hdb2 was on my 1.5GB HD, which is partitioned as follows: start end blocks type system /dev/hdb1 1 349 703552+ 6 FAT16 /dev/hdb2 350 580 465696 83 Linux /dev/hdb3 581 621 82656 82 Linux swap The first partion is used by my seldom visited Win95 side and by Linux. The other two are obvious. The /usr/bin/find' error message occured because /user had not been mounted because the boot routine went into the maintanance mode when the swap file failed to load, and only root was mounted in the read-only mode. I booted to my windows side to see if hdb1 could be accessed. It could, proving that the drive was alive and at least one partition was functioning. It had to be an ext2 and/or swap problem. I rebooted and then supplied the root password after the error messages appeared. I used fsck -t exts /dev/hdxx to check c1 (/), c2 (/opt), c3 (/usr) and a5 (/home) and they checked out ok. I checked /dev/hdb3 (swap) and got the first error message that appeared during the boot process. Then I checked /dev/hdb2 (/D435) and got the second error message that appeared during boot. So, it seems both my ext2 partition and the swap partition, both on hdb, had died. Running 'fdisk /dev/hdb', I looked at the partition table and then verified it. It verified ok. So, I wrote the table back out to the disk, just for grins. It wrote fine. Nothing appears to be wrong with the mechanics of the drive. It must be formatting. I executed 'mkfs -t ext2 /dev/hdb2 465696' and reformatted the /D435 partition. Luckily, I was intending to use /D435 as a storage drive but never got around to saving anything to it, so I lost nothing. I executed 'mkswap -c /dev/hdb3 82656' and recreated the swap partition exactly as it had been before. When I rebooted my system came up without any problems. Anyone suggest an easier way to resolve the delimma? (The solution I thought of was easy, but I was wondering if there were other, easier, solutions to this problem. Especially if data had been envolved - ignoring the usually 'restore from backup'.)
