Newbie Installation Problems ...
by Glen Foy 01 Feb '02

01 Feb '02

Hi Folks, If you could help an unwashed newbie, I would be grateful ... My box has these components: Asus P4B motherboard Pentium 4 1.8 Gz 512 MB SDRAM 2 - Maxtor 60.1 GB 7200 rpm drives (Windows XP is unfortunately installed on the first drive) Plextor 16/10/40A CD-RW ATI Radeon VE video card Sony floppy US Robotics modem The monitor I am using is an Apple 17" Studio Display. This is an LCD with Apple's proprietary ADC digital connection. I am using a Gefen ADC-to-DVI converter to attach the DVI output of the Radeon VE to the monitor's ADC cable. Red Hat 7.2 installs cleanly with this configuration, but SuSE 7.3 is having problems with the monitor. I have tried many combinations of resolution, bit depth and frequency, none of which pass the installation test. I am able to install without X11. The monitor performs just fine for the YaST2 installation up to the point of monitor configuration. It is low resolution screen, but no problems. When I successfully install Red Hat I use a generic monitor setup of 1280 x 1024 at 60 Hz and 24 bits. Is anyone successfully using the Radeon VE with 7.3? Thanks a heap, Glen

KDE + LOCALE
by Jethro Cramp 01 Feb '02

01 Feb '02

I have been struggling trying to further understand why I can't get Chinese setup properly on my system (7.3) and during this process I noticed that my locale was set to 'C' (default). Trying to change this through the KDE Control Centre doesn't work. I change the settings. The settings take effect in that one window in the Control Center and I am prompted to log out and in of KDE. On logging back into KDE I find that the settings have been changed back to Default C. Anyone have any clue why this might be? Jethro

Re: [SLE] it regularly beeps /problem solved

Dear Dave, Thanks for the answer. I have checked the time interval between the beeps and it is exactly 5 minutes. After looking into /var/log/messages I found that my newly installed smartups is complaining in five minutes intervals about the fact that it cannot find my UPS. But that is another problem ;-) DS>On Thu, Jan 31, 2002 at 11:13:33PM +0700, constant(a)indo.net DS>.id wrote: <snip> DS>> from killing every running program one by one?

martian message

Hi everyone. 7.3, samba lan 7.3 server with some linux and some w98. The server is a DNS 192.168.0.1 Something has happened after we tried to install the firewall and now the server does not show on the clients although the clients can see each other. We have since disabled the firewall done a rcsmb restart rcnamed restart and rcsquid restart. The clients still cannot see the server (where all their files are and where the internet comes from). We get the message from the kernel as above coming from each of the clients connected. Thousands of them. We cannot ping the clients from the server either nor the server from the clients. HELP PLEASE! Steve.

Some persons on the list have had the same problem and they were using qt 2.3.2. If that's the problem, downgrade to qt 2.3.1 and you will solve it. Praise Hi Praise (and Others) My system had the QT2.3.2 so I downgraded to QT2.3.1 last night and Konqueror is flying again !! Fantastic !, I was starting to remember those bad windows-wait-forever moments.....Not Anymore !!! Thanks to all who offered advice, you were right on the money. Clinton

So the kernel looks for System.map-<version> in /boot. This was the only "obscure" concept, now it's clear.

linux 7.3 and autoinstall
by Berge, Harry ten 01 Feb '02

01 Feb '02

Hi! I'm trying to use the autoinstall option on SuSE 7.3. There is some documentation about this subject. So, I've changed the 'syslinux.cfg' and added a 'suse/setup/descr/info' to my bootdisk. I also created a 'part_00000' file which describes my partitioning scheme for the disks. However, now I've got a problem. When the install arrives at the partitioning part, the system shows the current partitioning and then asks for user input. End of the story, the automatic install stops at this point. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Met vriendelijke groet, Harry ten Berge Test Engineer Holland Institute of Traffic Technology HITT B.V.
