Apache 2.0
by Kaare Rasmussen 30 Apr '01

30 Apr '01

Anybody tried Apache 2.0.16 Beta? I wonder what happens. I downloaded the source tarball and installed it without any fancy settings, just to try it out. Default httpd.conf and all. The thing is, when I start it, there are something like 35 to 80 httpd processes!! I haven't touched the default number of servers and processes.

scroll lock
by Peter J.Pieczora 30 Apr '01

30 Apr '01

Hi, Did anyone experienced any problems with scroll lock under XFree-4.0.3? Basically, following things don't work: backspace, and arrow keys, meaning that for each move you got to hit the key. Scroll Lock key indicator doesn't light up when depressed, also. This happens only under 4.0.2, 4.0.3 but not under 3.3.6. I wonder if there is a solution to fix it? Cheers, peter PS. System: suse7.1, kernel 2.4.4, xf4.0.3, ps/2 keyb. and mouse,

Disabling reverse-IP lookup for mail relay
by Just Another SuSE User 30 Apr '01

30 Apr '01

I have several machines on a DSL circuit and I use a Suse 7.0 box as my mail server. The problem is that if I configure my other machines (one of which is a Ultra 10 running Solaris 2.7) to use the SuSe box as a smarthost, the relay is rejected. The reverse IP lookup is failing since the IP belongs to Pacbell. I can pay Pac Bell $100/domain to give me this but I have 4 domains and there is know way in hell I am going to pay that. Can I configure sendmail to ignore the reverse-IP lookup? I have the only valid relays defined in /etc/mail/access Thanks, CC

RE: [SLE] Linux RAID

Lets say that my brainiac MCSE's chucked the modules disk that comes in the box - any other recourse that can easily be described in a couple lines?? <sigh> -Scott -----Original Message----- From: marsaro(a)interearth.com [mailto:marsaro@interearth.com] Sent: Tuesday, April 17, 2001 5:27 PM To: Day, Scott Cc: 'suse-linux-e(a)suse.com' Subject: Re: [SLE] Linux RAID Scott; You should not have any trouble at all....seems that I remember Penguin uses AMI RAID, can't be sure, but in General most all of these RAID devices (AMI,Mylex,Adaptec) are supported....Yast2 should detect them, but you can use Yast1 (type manual at boot prompt) and then select load modules....insert the Floppy & select the RAID module.

Missing lib /opt/kde2/lib/libkcm_kmix.so
by Jens H.Nielsen 30 Apr '01

30 Apr '01

Hello ppl :-) I did something very stupid lately by trying out the beta KDE2 on a freshly installed SuSE 7.1 system (a spare one). I uninstalled it again by removing the RPM packages with --nodeps option and installed the RPMS for KDE 2.11 from the SuSE FTP site. This works okay, except for one thing: If I open the KDE2 Controlpanel and selects the Sound->Mixer, I get an error about a missing libkcm_kmix.so RPM tells me no packages depends on it, so that explains why YaST2 cannot automaticly reinstall it. I tried this: djinni@pc105044:~ > rpm -q --whatrequires /opt/kde2/lib/libkcm_kmix.so no package requires /opt/kde2/lib/libkcm_kmix.so What should I do know? I would really hate to reinstall (or manual copy from another system). Thanks, Jens Nielsen

Win machine doesn't see Samba machine
by Paul Abrahams 30 Apr '01

30 Apr '01

Here's a problem that may be Windows-related or Samba-related -- I don't know. I have Samba set up on my Linux machine. One of my Windows machines (a different box, but on the same LAN) usually does not include the Linux machine in Network Neighborhood. However, once in a while the Linux machine does show up in Network Neighborhood. Furthermore, Find Computer on the Windows machine is able to see the Linux machine consistently. The Windows machine seems to be able to see other Windows machines just fine. This may have something to do with browse masters, but that's a subject I've been able to find hardly any information on.

kernel frustration
by Moses Backman III 30 Apr '01

30 Apr '01

ok this was so damned easy with FreeBSD. what is so hard about enabling more options in the kernel and then getting that kernel to boot? i am TRYING to use 7.1 and i am attempting to enable advanced routing, etc in the kernel so that i can take this hot rod out for a spin. but after i run make dep, clean, and menuconfig i run make bzdisk to copy my new version to a floppy. it doesn't get past OK Booting the Kernel. then i try edit /etc/lilo.conf to include /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage i set the label as Nubian and the root as my root partition, run lilo (it says it's added Nubian) - nothing then i figure it's the damned SuSE YAST1/2 crap again and i think i reinstall from YAST2 and nothing. what is so hard about putting a conf file somewhere so that i can play with it and then letting that file be read ? i am severely pissed off, i see nothing in the how to for this. please help.
