Hi, for what its worth, i upgraded an oracle 9i server running 7.2 to 8.0 last night. So far, everything( including oracle) seems to be running fine - the only issue i have noticed is the login manager seems to disregard my settings and the login screen only allows me to logon to kde ( no session box appears). > On Mon, 2002-04-29 at 08:41, Phil Shrimpton wrote: > > On Wednesday 24 April 2002 14:17, Peter B.Van Campen wrote: > > > > Hi, > > > > > Here is a direct 'cut-n-paste' from a SuSE Support email reply: > > > > > > "The upgrade of 7.2 to 8.0 is neither supported nor recommended by SuSE." > > > > Well I upgraded to 7.3, and then tried the 8 upgrade and still had the same > > problems. > > > > I guess a clean install is in the works :-( > > > > the experience of a lot of people is that the upgrade feature hardly > works.... clean install is what works ... that is a major problem > > Phil > > > > -- > > Linux 2.4.4-4GB > > 12:39pm up 6 days, 17:55, 1 user, load average: 0.19, 0.12, 0.09 > > > > -- > > To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe(a)suse.com > > For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com > > Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com > > > > > > > > -- > To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe(a)suse.com > For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com > Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com >

SuSE 8.0 Pro installation experience: lilo package failure, registration failure
by evert.rosseel＠sidmar.be 29 Apr '02

29 Apr '02

First attempt installing from DVD (manual selection of single packages, new install in the partitions previously used for SuSE 6.3): - package "lilo.*.rpm" not found - hangs after 97% of packages installed Second attempt from DVD (default + office + all KDE): - package "lilo.*.rpm" not found - installs everything else seemingly without problem - fails after reboot (starts Win98) The lilo package is present however, seemingly in the correct location on the DVD. Booting Linux isn't possible, using "boot installed system" from the DVD starts Win98. The rescue system does work. Is there a way to install lilo after booting the rescue system? I prefer not having to install a third time from the CD's. Next: trying to register at SuSE First attempt: Everything seems fine, except no email message from SuSE. Retrying: Immediately an email from SuSE claiming my key was already used ... Sent them an email with the explanation. Afterwards I checked the printout I made from the first registration attempt: - no reference of my email adress - at the bottom of the page: "Within a few seconds you will receive an email ..."?? It seems giving a phone number during registration is enough to mess up things... Evert

SuSE 8.0 and Internet Connection Sharing
by Brian W. Carver 29 Apr '02

29 Apr '02

Hi, I installed the "default system with office" on my "server" computer and the installation was perfect. That computer was online via DHCP (cable modem) on the very first bootup. :-) I have minimal linux experience, although I did recently manage to get Debian running well enough on this same computer to share my internet connection among the other computers on the home lan. (When 8.0 arrived though I formatted that hard drive because I couldn't get Debian to do a lot of other stuff I wanted.) This means though that I now mostly understand the dhcpd.conf file that stumped me for so long. Problem is, I don't see how to share the internet now on SuSE. I used Yast2 to install dhcp-base (dhcpcd is already installed) but even when logged in as root it can't find a command dhcpd and it sure doesn't run on startup. Also, after installation of dhcp-base with Yast2 it didn't even put a sample dhcpd.conf file in /etc, which makes me wonder if there is some further step in the installation process after using Yast2. I don't want to do this the hard way if SuSE has somehow automated the process. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks. -- Brian W. Carver

streaming audio
by Clayton Cornell 29 Apr '02

29 Apr '02

Has anyone managed to find a practical way to listen to streaming audio on the web? It used to be that radio stations used to broadcast in some funky Windwos media format and Real Audio... now everywhere I look it is WMA, and Real Audio is gone for the links. Even within the RealAudio network, 9 times out of 10 the links to RA broadcastss are broken or don't support RA anymore. Even my favorite radio station Studio Brussel in Belgium is a MS flunky now. So the question behind the whining is... is it possible for a smart person (meaning a person who uses Linux of course) to play WMA streamed audio on Linux? C.
