modules.conf error
by Kirk Moore ＠ AA 25 Mar '01

25 Mar '01

Here you go.;... Just did a clean install of 7.1 and I am getting an error when I configure the nic card. I am using either a Netgear FA311 or D-Link DFE-530TX+. I get the same issue. When saving the configuration, I get an error stating that SuSE cannot save the modules.conf file. While the system works properly even though it was not saved, I have to do the init each time I reboot.... Any ideas... and if this is an old question... please for give.... -- Kirk Moore Network Engineer/Web Master Moore Webs 425-228-7542

Thanks for the help Ben- I will look at XSANE for the scanning and get Jpilot- another cradel for the Palm- serial not to bad since 7.1 works so well, I may be able to squeeze a few bucks from the tech fund this month.

Fianlly got it 7.1
by Darrell Nobles 25 Mar '01

25 Mar '01

Hi everyone- I finally got 7.1 installed and running- its great- the only problem I had was trying to figure whick button the push to get the DSL connected to the net. I can say as a newbie and almost former WinDoze user (if anyone can tell me how to get a spellcheck session in a Newsgroup for my ioline class M$$ is toast) I have never seen an easier install. Last task is the find packages for my handspring Visor (USB) and Scanner (par-port). Sound is great and YAST2 rocks.

Re: [SLE] Which package these libraries belong to?

Whoops, this should of course have been sent to the list. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- On Sat, 24 Mar 2001, Nadeem Hasan wrote: > Try: > > # rpm -qf /usr/X11R6/lib/libXrender.so > > This will print the package the file belongs to. Make sure you > give the full path of the file. Except that he does not have the file on his system right now, so it is quite unlikely that rpm will know what package it belongs to. In most cases when people ask the list for the package containing a specific file, it would be much more helpful to say: mount SuSE cd#1 and cd to its root. zcat ARCHIVES.gz | grep /usr/X11R6/lib/libXrender.so Regards Ole

Why is it, SuSE, that I can log on, log off but can't email to this list?
by Jerry Kreps 25 Mar '01

25 Mar '01

Using my standard email address I can sign onto the SuSE-linux-e list, and I can sign off of that list. I can download and read email from the list. BUT, I CANNOT send mail to the list. They bounce back with a message about needing a 'fully qualified name". If my jk05308(a)alltel.net is good enough to sign on and off, and download email from the list, why does it then pick my logon name and domain name (jerry@jerrykreps) as a gatekeeper? Makes no sense. JLK PS. I am sending this question via my Sony precisely because although my Beast can sign on to the list and download email from the list, any email replys or new email is rejected with the msg mentioned above.

KEDIT ALERT
by Thomas Bishop 25 Mar '01

25 Mar '01

ALERT ALERT As pointed out by Damon Register in another post: if you are having weird problems and strange errors at boot, it appears that Kedit is doing an improper job of editing files. I have discovered many instances of comments stuck in the margins and lines wrapped incorrectly in files I have edited. It explains why I could not edit the idle time in wvdial.dod without it barfing, and pppd probs. All these files contained errors upon very close inspection. Excellent sleuthing, Damon. You've saved what's left of my hair! -- Tom Bishop tb64710(a)alltel.net RLU #12043 SuSE 7.1 PRO

Hi everyone, Till now I was using portsentry but after comparing it to snort I decided to switch to snort. As far as I understand the main configuration file is /etc/snort/snort-lib and I have to modify the HOMENET and EXTERNAL NET. Is that all or am I missing vital information TIA -- Togan Muftuoglu

Suse 6.4 and ReiserFS
by Ron Sinclair 24 Mar '01

24 Mar '01

I've a question or two about ReiserFS and Suse 6.4. During the install of 6.4, I see no mention of ReiserFS installation, so how does one implement Reiser with 6.4? The manual mentions it but in a very passing manner. Also, how stable is ReiserFS in 6.4? I'd like to give it a try but I'm a bit wary. Should I wait to try ReiserFS with Suse 7.1 (whenever I can actually get my hands on a copy....geez) or should I give it a shot with Suse 6.4?
