pdksh what to do
by Briggs, N. - Neil - 03 Sep '01

03 Sep '01

Dear list, I posted a question a while ago about installing DB2 on linux. I down loaded the installation tar file from IBM and tried to exectue the installation program db2setup. I had an error which turned out to be because I need to be running pdksh (public domain korn shell). My question is I currently run bash on my suse 7.1 box. How do I install/load pdksh. Is it on the 7.1 professional cd's that I have ??? If anybody could help this linux newbie I would be most grateful. Kindest regards Neil Briggs

RE: [SLE] kmail crashes
by Jostein Berntsen 03 Sep '01

03 Sep '01

Hi, I had the same problem with Kmail after upgrade, but now I have fixed it. First check that you don't have any KDE2.2Beta packages lying around. Kmail is part of the KDEnetwork package, see that you have the most recent version of that installed.

Sound in kde 2.2
by Anders Johansson 01 Sep '01

01 Sep '01

A strange thing has started happening in 2.2. All of a sudden, sound is tied to desktop. It works fine for non-kde apps, so it must be an artsd thing. What happens is that when I change desktops, the sound from the apps on the previous desktop stops, and doesn't return until I go back to the desktop they're on. Has anyone else seen this? Anders

Inital Runlevel problem
by Ray Booysen 01 Sep '01

01 Sep '01

I am running Suse 7.2. My problem is that as soon as the computer boots up (it was running for a week before it got booted again) it loads the kernel then goes into init 0 and shuts down. I can override this in lilo by booting with "linux init 3 " but what is the problem Thanks Ray Booysen

Moving a w98 installation
by michael norman 01 Sep '01

01 Sep '01

Hi I have two hard drives, the better of which is the first (hda1). I dual boot w98 and SuSE 7.2. Because of the way that w98 insists on being on the first drive I have it installed as hda1 and SuSE on the rest of the first drive. At the moment I use the second (hdb) older slower drive as a spare mainly for backups and test installs. I want to put w98 on that drive and I understand that if I use grub rather than lilo I can then set grub to fool w98 into thinking that is on the first drive. Rather than going through another painful w98 install I'd like to just move the present w98 install to that drive. Is there a linux utility that I can use to do this ? That is create an image of the win98 install, move it to hdb1 and then set up grub to boot it so I can check that it works before I remove it from hda1 and reorganise that drive ? The w98 partition is about 4.0 gigs and the second drive is 6.4 gigs. Thanks for any pointers anyone can offer. Mike

Whatever happened to the knetload app that was in KDE 1? It was quite nice being able to have it docked in the panel. Is there an equivalent in KDE 2-2? _________________________________________________________ Tim Harrell

KOrganizer?
by Michael Molloy 01 Sep '01

01 Sep '01

Can someone point me to a download site for this application? I found some KDE pages that say it is included in KOffice, but I downloaded the 1.1 version of that, and KOrganizer is not there. It is also not listed on the KOffice web site. I can't find it on the FTP servers, but I'm probably looking in the wrong place.

Kernel panic with 2.4.9 as patched from "martel" on SuSE FTP
by Scott Courtney 01 Sep '01

01 Sep '01

Good afternoon! I've just built several variants of a 2.4.9 kernel for SuSE 7.2, and am having the same kernel panic no matter what I try in the configuration options. I started with a generic kernel tree from ftp.kernel.org, and applied (with no error messages) all the patches for 2.4.9 from ftp://ftp.suse.com/...../martel/next/ on the SuSE FTP site. Everything seemed fine, and the build went smoothly. In the build, I started with the default SuSE configuration file from /boot, did a "make oldconfig" to bring it up to 2.4.9, and then ran "make xconfig" to remove some stuff like Amateur Radio, ISDN, and MTD support, that I don't plan to use. I ran make dep, make bzImage, make modules, and make modules_install, in that order, after first making sure that the directory /lib/modules/2.4.9 was empty. Everything seemed to work fine. I copied the bzImage file to a new filename under /boot, configured /etc/lilo.conf as needed, then ran lilo. When I try to boot the new kernel, I get a panic with the following rather cryptic information: Process init (pid: 1, stackpage=c1409000) Stack: <<omitted for brevity>> Call Trace: <<omitted for brevity>> Code: 0f 0b eb 26 8d b6 00 00 00 00 83 7b 04 00 75 1d 68 b6 00 00 Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init! I know what init does, but I have no idea how it came to be that some process tried to kill it. Rebooting from the original kernel still works, so my system isn't hosed. I also tried rebooting from the rescue CD, immediately after the crash, to recover any useful log entries, but alas there is nothing being logged (too early in the boot process, I guess). The console seems to indicate that the crash is happening just after Reiserfs is loaded, but it scrolls by too fast for me to be sure. Has anyone seen this before, and if so, what should I be checking in my kernel config to isolate the problem? Thanks for any help someone can offer.

Hey Everyone, Recently, I have been unable to telnet into my machine (Suse 7.2). This is because /bin/login is missing, (I am very suspious about this) So how do I go about replacing it?

What you might want to look at is your hd mans web site. Most mans hd format disk offer an option of coping an existing hd to a different drive. I know that both Maxtor and IBM will do this using DR-DOS. The utilitises are brand specific. IBM will only work if the destination drive is IBM and Maxtor is the same. If you prefer a Linux app you should look at parted. Charles (-: Forever never goes beyond tomorrow.

ext3
by Gary 31 Aug '01

31 Aug '01

Does anyone know if SuSE will be supporting this journeling system as wel as Reiserfs. I have heard that ext3 does not need for you to back up mounts, and basically reformat to get Reiserfs up and running, as ext3 can be added on the fly just by adding into fstab, in otherwords, nothing else has to be done. -- Best regards, Gary

I guess RH is going to own the S/390 business in the U.S. :(

I was unaware that RH had an S/390 port.. I guess SuSE is still letting politics rule the day as far as countries. SuSE's S/390 port has been proven for over a year..yet these stock exchanges are going to be running RH. This is just sad..doing the work and then politics and branding get you screwed... :/ http://www.idg.net/go.cgi?id=540849 Good for Linux in General, but again the spotlight moves from the truely innovative Linux hackers to the marketing experts.

31 Aug '01

Greetings: New to java, old on suse...:) Was wondering if someone could lend a hand here. SuSE 7.2 comes with compatible java version to run StarOffice, however there is a need to get briefed on the latest java developements. Ive installed Java2 from Sun and it all went rather seemless. The remaining issue is the path settings. Is is possible to run two differing versions of java and if so how do i set the paths. (want to keep staroffic working) Best and thanks Chris
