It was the smbpasswd -a username bit. Thanks for the reply though! I re-ead the how-to and didn't see it mentioned at all. Am I blind? Thanks again!!!

Also, did you "smbpasswd -a username"? What does /var/log/messages say about the connection attempt? You might want to go over to www.ora.com and take a gander at the open-source version of their Samba book. If this doesn't work, you might send me a copy of smb.conf. I've got the exact same setup on my web server.

[SLE] Is Kmail broke in KDE2 on SuSE 7.0?
by eck＠raytheon.com 07 Oct '00

07 Oct '00

Hello, I installed SuSE 7.0 and everything when pretty smooth (except sound / TV / HP1100 printer which I finally got working). I like the new KDE2 but it seems somewhat slow conpaired to version 1. Now the problem: kmail will not run, it starts but produces a system error and dies. Is this a kmail or user problems. I use kmail under SuSE 6.3. Anyone know how to fix this problem. It is one of the last things preventing me from moving to SuSE 7.0.

[SLE] SuSE 7.0 - I'm not at all impressed...
by bjornts＠mi.uib.no 04 Oct '00

04 Oct '00

Having received the SuSE 7.0 professional in the mail on Tuesday, I've so far installed it twice, on two different machines, using the two different install programs (yast2 and yast1). 1. Yast2 is still relatively useless for anyone who fiddles with the package-configuration. In particular, I miss yast1's ability to detect package conflicts, and I found no function to save and load an established configuration. The excellent hardware detection helps when I install on laptops (which happens once per month or so, on average), but I'm forced to first do a minimal installation and then use yast1 to postinstall packages. This means it's useless when I'm to upgrade my 30 desktop machines all in one go - I need to spend too much time in front of each machine. 2. Yast1 has had a serious bug introduced - it longer asks me for a superuser password, or allows me to create an example user. I need to boot it as a rescue system or in singleuser mode to set the root password to anything but a (non-published) default. Same conclusion as with yast2. The various package-related errors are less important, they're not on anything particulary necessary, fixes are already out, or I have fixes myself. But the lack of progress on installation software on a "Professional Edition" is disappointing. I dislike the fact that Tekram's driver for their 390U2W SCSI-card isn't included (it's been out for ages). Having to compile new kernels on a variety of different machines is a pain, but now it's got to be done. I'd hoped 7.0 would prevent the need. But there isn't even a precompiled kernel with both SMP and AMP support. I have to postpone my upgrade at least until I see fixes to yast1 (or yast2). I may skip the upgrade completely, and I may go look for a distribution with installation software that works. But I have no intention of doing an upgrade with what SuSE has given me now. Too much work, too much wasted time. I'll let you know. Bjørn -- Bjørn Tore Sund Phone: (+47) 555-84894 Nothing gives such Sysadmin, Mathematics dept.

[SLE] Suse 7.0 with Geforce2 GTS nvidia 0.95
by seanmcgrath＠flashcom.net 02 Oct '00

02 Oct '00

I have a Dell Precision 420 with duel P3 933 and 512megs of RDRAM, Hercules Prophet 2 Geforce2 GTS (64 meg card). Using Suse 7.0 hot off the presses, XF86 4.0.1 and the 0.9.5 nvidia driver. Have installed the nvidia kernel and GLX module, but when I startx I get 'Fatal server error: Caught signal 11. Aborting...' This is under the standard uniprocessor kernel that comes with Suse 7. I tried compiling a new kernel for SMP, but then I get a nvidia kernel error stating that the nvidia driver is compiled for a uniprocessor system (doh!) Any advice here? I am unable to use X at all unless I use the framebuffer device (ugh!) \\\|/// \\ - - // ( @ @ ) ----o00o-(_)-o00o------------------------------------- Sean McGrath, RN, BSN, CCRN E-mail : seanmcgrath(a)flashcom.net ICQ : 7466420 ".....Nurses heal the World....." -- 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

[SLE] Status of the 3C905C network adaptor
by Alexandr.Malusek＠imv.liu.se 02 Oct '00

02 Oct '00

Hi, I'm going to buy a 100 Mbps network adaptor to a SMP machine. I'm considering 3Com's 3C905C. Is it a good choice or should I buy something else? (What?) Why do I ask: 3C905B-TX is listed in the SuSE HW database as problematic. The new driver 3c90x.c from 3Com (http://support.3com.com/infodeli/tools/nic/linuxdownload.htm) is supposed to support both 3C905B and 3C905C. It indicates there may be problems with 3C905C as well. I intend to use the 3c90x.c driver with SuSE 7.0. I've tried to compile it under SuSE 6.3, but the compilation via compile_SMP failed due to undefined symbols. When I added #define CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC #include <asm/fixmap.h> #include <asm/i82489.h> to 3c90x.h the compilation went OK, but I have no idea if the driver works or not. Does anybody use this adaptor on a heavy loaded SMP machine? -- Alexandr.Malusek(a)imv.liu.se -- 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
