Root cannot
by Oliver Maunder 05 May '01

05 May '01

Hi all I'm fairly new to Linux, and I've come across a strange problem. Sometimes, when I try to run a script as root, bash says it can't find the command. Here's an example: root@linux:/usr/local/Freenet > ls -l total 720 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 18007 Apr 27 22:50 COPYING -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1363 Apr 27 22:50 Changelog -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7209 Apr 27 22:50 README -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 668190 Apr 27 22:50 freenet.jar -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 513 Apr 27 22:50 freenet_config -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 525 Apr 27 22:50 freenet_insert -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 528 Apr 27 22:50 freenet_request -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 505 Apr 27 22:50 freenet_server -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7365 Apr 27 22:50 mime.types -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5749 Apr 27 22:50 sample.freenetrc root@linux:/usr/local/Freenet > freenet_server bash: freenet_server: command not found Root owns the file, and it's executable, so what's the problem? I can run this script from my user account. Is bash trying to stop me being stupid and running potentially dangerous scripts as root? Thanks for your help Olly

Does Realtek 8139 chip work with kernel 2.4.2?
by Paul Abrahams 05 May '01

05 May '01

Has anyone here succeeded in using an Ethernet card based on the RealTek 8139 chip with the SuSE version of kernel 2.4.2? I can get it to work just fine with the 2.4.0 kernel and the 8139too driver, but not with 2.4.2 and the 8139too driver. (In fact, the 8139too driver seems to be the only driver provided for this chip in kernel 2.4.2.) The symptom of the problem is that when insmod is called with argument "8139too", either from the bootup code or separately, it gives a "no device found" error. I've switched back and forth between 2.4.2 and 2.4.0 a couple of times, with completely consistent results. I'd like to know if the problem lies in something I did or if there's a bug here. I plan to experiment further by trying a stock 2.4.4 kernel.

Kernel Compile Problems
by Shonne Beavers 05 May '01

05 May '01

I am having problems with a newly compiled. I have downloaded kernel 2.4.2 for the SuSE website. I compiled the kernel for SMP and 4GB, because I needed those. Now, when I reboot it looks for the modules are /lib/modules/2.4.2, but the modules are created at /lib/modules/2.4.2-4GB-SMP. If I rename the directory, it works somewhat?! What am I doing wrong?

CD-RW HP8200 - USB: How to??
by Ricardo Rodriguez 04 May '01

04 May '01

Does anyone here knows if that cd-rw works on linux? First of all, what do I need when working with USB devices?, Do I just plug it in?, how do I mount it?, do I need any driver? hp doesnt have linux drivers for it. I read somewhere that an IDE cd may be emulated like an scsi, does it just make it work?, does this work with USB devices? Thanks. Did anyone read my message about: how to force my linux to get a valid IP from a DHCP server? I need some help on this. Thnx. ===== Ricardo A.

Location of newer kernel sources?
by Paul W. Abrahams 04 May '01

04 May '01

Where on the SuSE website can I find the sources for the newer (2.4.2, 2.4.3, maybe 2.4.4) versions of the kernel? I gather that they are somewhere on the site. Paul Abrahams
