hi, The utility 'expect' is really, really cool for interactive work such as this.

[SLE] kde2 crash with SuSE 1.93 binaries
by p.z.lukacs＠city.ac.uk 29 Aug '00

29 Aug '00

I have installed the SuSE kde1.93 rpms including the revised klibs2 but I get appletproxy crash on startup so the panel won't load. This was a problem noted with the kde CVS on the kde-devel list in mid august but is now listed as fixed. Has anybody else had the same problem or got a fix for it (other than completely reinstalling kde2 using sources rather than the rpms)? -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe(a)suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq

Hi, all, I have a SuSE 6.4 and a sybase 11.0.3.3-6 and I want to create a DB in a raw partition. In the Sybase documentation said that I have to patch the kernel with: - Raw Disk I/o - Stephen Tweedy ftp://ftp.uk.linux.org/pub/linux/sct/fs/raw-io/ - Async storage I/O (KAIO) - SGI Open Source ftp://oss.sgi.com/www/projects/kaio/download/ Since linux 2.2.14 of SuSE 6.4 have the patch that works with raw devices I don't know if I have to apply this patches or not?, and How can I know which patches have been included in SuSE kernel? Is there any file in the distribution with the description of the patches?

[SLE] Resize linux partition with ext2resize
by sistemas＠holisticas.com 29 Aug '00

29 Aug '00

Hi, all, again, I'm trying to resize a ext2 linux partition to make space to create a new partition and i'm using ext2resize, but when I resize it with a lesser space, file system has less size, but partition size is the same as before. What's wrong? Do I need to resize partition as well file system size? Which tool can I use? GNU Parted?

Re: [SLE] reiserfs and Samba
by heroron＠yahoo.com 29 Aug '00

Ok - I'm a dummy. After a good night's sleep, I was able to bring the failed reiser system back up. 1) The / partition was actually on /dev/hda4, not hda2 2) The segmentation fault was ocurring in the /sbin/init.d/boot file, around line 456. Looking at the problem area, this had to do with booting systems in the fstab. 3) I mounted /dev/hda4 from the other system, and commented out /dev/hdg entries in fstab. 4) Rebooted, and everything came up. My hdg is hosed, though. Question: On an ext2 system, if I have problems mounting a filesystem, I have the option of remounting, or going into maintenance mode. If this was an ext2, I could have mounted and edited the fstab. THIS situation only left my machine frozen. How can I prevent this?
