Stupid networking question
by Fent, Lee 28 Mar '02

28 Mar '02

Sorry to bother the list with this, but if someone could give me a pointer, I'd dearly appriciate it. Here is the question. If I have two NIC's, eth0 and eth1, each works, and can ping the network segments they are attached to, how do I go about getting machines behind eth0 to be able to ping (or talk to, not really just ping) machines behind eth1. I'm almost certain that this is setup in the route.conf file, but I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Any suggestions? Thanks, L

Sleeping Mouse
by Dennis Tuchler 28 Mar '02

28 Mar '02

I don't know whether this is a Ximian or a S.u.S.E 7.3 problem. Occasionally, after booting up, my mouse goes to sleep and won't wake up until I cold reboot. Ctrl-Alt-Del won't work in those cases. What can I do to prevent this from recurring? dj tuchler

Dual Boot and LILO?
by Phil Shrimpton 28 Mar '02

28 Mar '02

Hi, I have successfully set up SuSE7.2 and Windows2000 on my Inspiron laptop, and both work fine. The 'issue' is that I have LILO on a floppy, which needs to be in the machine when I boot to get into SuSE, and I keep leaving the disk in the office <g> What I want to do is set it up so I can choose which OS to boot to, without the boot disk. I have read some how-tos and it said I should set-up LILO to the /boot/ partition on my SuSE partition, but both Yast1 and 2 only give me the option to save it to the MBR or Floppy. Any ideas?

missing sound lib after upgrade to kde2.2.2 (was Re: [SLE] sound modules inserted twice)
by Cincai Patron 28 Mar '02

28 Mar '02

Hi, Yes, both were set to 1, but still I got this kind of message. Anyway, I've decided to upgrade to KDE 2.2.2. For the first login, I watch carefully the xconsole, and, fiuh, nothing displayed about reinserted sound module until I realized that noatun/kde media player could not start. I tried to run directly in konsole, and it complains about missing libsoundserver_idl.so.0. It seems I need help from SuSE-ers again to find out which package it belongs to :-D. I'm sure I had the lib before upgrading, because I can still locate the lib (before I re- updatedb) -> /opt/kde2/lib. TIA. Verdi ps: here's the package I have in my system currently: Application =========== Just perform with rpm -Fvh *.rpm Base: ===== audiofile kdebase kdebase-ksysguardd kdebase-nsplugin kdelibs liblcms libmng libogg libvorbis libxml2 qt-2.3.1 (I use SuSE7.3 version, and it seems working).

Newbie: Homenetworking Feasibility?
by Chris.R 28 Mar '02

28 Mar '02

OK, so this is a rather broad and vague question... but I have one of those home networking kits which includes a pair Netgear FA331 PCI cards and a 10baseT hub. It works fine between my two machines when both are running WinME. Both machines run happily dual booting SuSE 7.2 as well. After some thought, I might converts one machine - a Duron 900, to a more permamanent SuSE box and the other - an Athlon 1800+, to a "multimedia" WinME box. (Quiet for Serious use... and the noisier AMD "room heater" for my occasional vice of game playing? :-) I'd like to network the two machines for file and printer sharing. My networking experience is rather limited to software, so would my hardware setup seem sufficient? Looks like SuSE can recognise my network cards... as a generic "Internic" card(?) but I'm a little confused over IP addresses etc. and available protocols. I have set up things in a "professional" environment, but the networking side was the jealously guarded <grin> domain (sic) of "networking guys" - IP addresses were kinda "issued"! :-) But, this should be possible, Right? Really a BROAD indication as to whether someone has tried this sort of thing is the only requirement! Chris

best way to uninstall xfree86 on my SuSE and install the latest version from scratch?
by mylinuxmails eccent 28 Mar '02

28 Mar '02

Hi, I have tried to upgrade the xfree86 in my suse to the latest version but with continuing failings of all kind. Does anybody know a proper way to do it? How do I make sure the version installed during suse install is completely removed? For installation of the new version I follow the instruction on the xfree86 documentation. Are there any other enhancements to make it work on SuSE? (SuSE has often its own way of doing configuration of things, like the rc.config file) Will SaX2 be able to work with it? How come when doing configuration with SaX2 I see more options to choose from than doing a plain xf86config? That's a lot of questions, Iknow, but somebody must gave already done this. Cheers Filip

Hello, I just installed with SuSE7.3 Amavis script for Virus filtering (+ Antivir). It is working apparently fine. The test with a dummy virus worked. Stupid question if somebody else works with Amavis/Antivir: I suppose the virus list must be updated. How to do it or is it done automatically via Web. The manuals are not very talkative and I am fed up of reading unexistent RTFM. Alain

Hardware Question

Hi all, and Happy Easter to those who celebrate it.... I'm about to take delivery, for a fairly cheap price, of an Ollivetti Netstrada 7000 server (5 x 4.3Gb SCSI drives, 256Mb ECC RAM, DDS2 tape, CD) in a very nice midrange tower with lotsa fans, cute front-opening doors, etc... Has anyone (especially the cogniscenti in Europe) had any experience with SuSE (I'm using 7.3) on this hardware ? Another guy bought one and said that Redhat, Mandrake and Debian all choked when he loaded them, and SuSE 7.3 was the only OS that would work on it (it's a QUAD PPRO 200 !!) Jon

SuSE 8.0 with KDE3
by Keith Winston 28 Mar '02

28 Mar '02

I just read at the linux today web site about some of the features in SuSE 8.0, including KDE3. I thought KDE3 was still in beta. Is it stable and production ready or are they rushing it out the door? I haven't even upgraded to KDE 2.2. I know many people have had problems with 2.2 and the new qt library, having to downgrade qt to get good performance again. I am a big supporter of KDE and SuSE but I don't want to see something bad happen like when Red Hat shipped a custom and unstable gcc version.
