[SLE] kernel parameters
by vhf＠skynet.be 07 Sep '00

Hello, Which is the fastest way to retreive the kernel options settings ( for compiling )from a the rpm kernel SuSE 2.2.14 in my suse 6.4 ( standard installation with no kernel sources i suppose since I cann't do the make xconfig command.). Is it autoconfig.h ? If ok, how can I use those options for installing and compiling a new kernel 2.2.17 whithout retyping all those parameters in the xconfig menus. I must say that more then half of those are just chinese for me. I suppose as well that suse has some particular options corresponding to her distribution. So my bother is to use those 2.2.14 parameters in a 2.2.17 kernel. In that way I hope to have my system still running. Then I could slowly intoduce some option settings in the new 2.2.17 version. Any one any idea please. Thanks a lot filip -- 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] SuSE 6.1->6.4 & Staroffice 5.1/5.2
by aguelzow＠math.concordia.ab.ca 07 Sep '00

HI, We had a computer lab of 40 machines as well as some faculty machines running SuSE 6.1 and StarOffice 5.1. And everybody was happy. Well, not everybody since it seemed to be nice to have a newer version of glibc...So we decdied to upgrade to SuSE 6.4, first on the faculty machines and everything worked fine. Then we updated one of the lab machines and cloned the other machines from this sample...everything ought to have been fine too, but: StarOffice5.1 decided to crash immewdiately upon start,... well it lasted long enough to show the splash screen and to give a warning dialog that all files would be saved...crash Since we wanted to move to StarOffice 5,2 anyways we decided to install that. This time as a network install with the StarOffice directory mounted via NFS and the user directories are NFS mounted anyways. Well, on the Faculty machines everything is still great but in the lab...starting StarOffice...the splash screen...the desktop appears ... and crash. When you start it from the command line every thing appears fine, ie. no error output. Neither are there any indications in the system logs... What is one to do (especially if StarOffice is supposed to use in a class nect week...)? Andreas -- Prof. Dr. Andreas J.

[SLE] upgrading SuSE linux
by dwcasey＠mysun.com 07 Sep '00

07 Sep '00

Is it possible upgrade a SuSE 6.4 system with the new 7.0 CD by booting from the CD and telling it to update the existing 7.0 system? If it's possible, is it practical? Can it be done while the 6.4 system is up and running? Is there a more practical way of updating/upgrading a system without purchasing every new boxed set that comes out and bringing the system down or rebooting? More accurately is there a simple way of doing this? I know that updating the kernel needs a reboot, I had a RH61 system with 2.2.12 and updated the kernel to 2.3.5x, that required a boot. But what about packages like xfree, netscape, gimp? Does Yast handle this through it's software update/installation menu if you have the latest .rpm of that package? Can an update of xfree be done from _one_ .rpm? Does the ftp option in the Yast menu handle this? Currently I have a 6.4 system at home that I can't get connected to my ISP (don't worry, getting ready to switch), but what if a high speed connection were not available, what would be the best way to keep a system updated with newest software, bugfixes, etc. and even kernel?

[SLE] no web access at all
by suselinux420＠hotmail.com 07 Sep '00

07 Sep '00

Now when I try to access the web from either root or a user I get these two responses. I'm lost what is going on? Can anybody point me in the right direction? Maybe walk me through it. Below is what Netscape tells me: #1: Warning: The following hosts are unknown: home.netscape.com home6.netscape.com internic.net This means some of all of the hosts will be unreachable. Perhaps there is a problem with your name server? If your site must use a non root name server, you will need to set the $SOCKS_NS environment variable to point to the appropriate name server. It may (or may not) be necessary to set this variable, or the SOCKS host preference, to the IP address of the host in question rather than its name. #2. Netscape is unable to locate the server....

[SLE] problems w/ second NIC
by Anonymous User 07 Sep '00

07 Sep '00

I have installed a second NIC in my SuSE machine. I am not able to ping anything other then the IP address assigned to the NIC. I know the NIC is good because I had been using the NIC in another machine before putting it into the the SuSE machine. I know the cables is good because I first tried the origninal cable the NIC was using, then I switch to another cable that is good. An ifconfig eth1 tells me that the broadcast/mask is set correctly. Any thoughts on other software issues I should check?
