Network problems with SuSE 7.1 - are there known bugs?
by Barnet Wagman 04 May '01

04 May '01

I'm having very serious network problems with SuSE 7.1, and was wondering (a) if there are known bugs and (b) if are there known solutions. I've tried installing the system several ways. Most recently, I did a completely vanilla SuSE 'default' installation of 7.1 (not an upgrade). My network card (a 3Com 3c900B) is recognized and seems to work. In fact, nsf appears work properly (both mounting and exporting). telnet also works (both connecting and accepting logins). However: (i) The system does not respond to pings. It can initiate pings and receives the correct response, but if I ping it from another system, there is no response. (ii) Characters get mangled when transmitted by X applications. For example, if I set the X display to another node and start Xemacs, the Xemacs window appears correctly on the remote X server, but when I type, the wrong characters get transmitted. From past experience, I know this to be a network/transmission problem, not an X problem. I am using the default 2.218 kernel - the same problem occurs with the 386 kernel. As far as I know, there are no precompiled kernel updates. SuSE support said to upgrade nkitb and nkitserv. This made matter worse: after upgrading, outgoing pings yield 'wrong byte' errors. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Barnet Wagman

FORCING dhcp to provide a valid IP address..
by Ricardo Rodriguez 04 May '01

04 May '01

My laptop was working fine on my network until yesterday since then it looks like the dhcp client is not getting a valid IP. I asked the net-admin and he told me to FORCE my linux box to get a valid IP address. How should I do this?. I restarted the dhcp client several times, or at least thats what I think (I did: dhcpcd -k, and then: dhcpcd), I also checked the netconfig and is bringinme a not valide IP (192.168.x.xx - out of the range of my subnet) and when I checked the dynamic ip checkbox it came unchecked again. Sugestion please. ===== Ricardo A.

How do I restart security check...

For awhile, I had a nice little security check that would run nightly/weekly/monthly and give me updates on what files had changed... ... but then I did something, and killed it. :( How do I bring it back? I really miss the little guy... -- jon

SuSE pricing and upgrades
by Paul Abrahams 04 May '01

04 May '01

I think there's something counterproductive in the way that SuSE prices various versions and upgrades. A couple of people on this list have commented that even at $70, the Professional Version is well worth it. I'd agree - were it possible to get free or really cheap upgrades for a while. I think of it not as a purchase but as a maintenance fee. How much should I pay per year to have the latest version? Here's a suggestion: keep the Pro Edition price at $70 but offer upgrade CDs for just a little more than the cost of manufacturing and distributing them (with an online version also available, of course). Each upgrade CD would be a "delta" on the previous one, changing only what's been modified, and therefore useless as a complete system. I'd be willing to pay $70 for a clean new system every couple of years but not every 4 months, which is about how often new versions come out. I don't think SuSE would get any less revenue under this plan.

Fwd: Re: [SLE] tar...

Well,I'm trying to find out how to correctly install some progs which I have on some CD's.Almost all tar and gz. With those progs no info is given on how to install them. Problem is that I have no place to install my manuals (small HD) and so I have a lot to ask. The main-manual of Suse doesn't bring relief here...

Date: Thu, 3 May 2001 15:34:27 -0700 (PDT) From: <marsaro(a)interearth.com> Hi, tars are usually referred to as tar balls, not packages per se but rather an arcive of some group of files and directories in some cases.....funny enough the tar utility was really used to back-up to tape.....I think "tar" stands for Tape Archive....might be wrong on that...anyway...tars that have tgz or tar.gz have also been compressed when archieved.

perl5.6 on SuSE7.0 a go?
by tompoe 04 May '01

04 May '01

Hi: Anyone replace perl 5.00503 on SuSE7.0 with perl 5.6? Sure would like to get it done. The alternative is to do a SuSE7.1 upgrade. Does SuSE have the cd for SuSE7.1 upgrade out? Thanks, Tom
