samba users
by José Antonio Real 30 May '02

30 May '02

Hi, people. I have a problem with samba, i guess that the solution may be trivial, but i haven't found it. My SuSe version is 7.2, i have installed the samba package using yast2 from the distribution DVD. Seems working properly and well configured but when i try to add an user using the smbadduser command as root all i get is that: #smbadduser prueba:prueba No such map passwd.byname. Reason: Request arguments bad ERROR: prueba Not in passwd database SKIPPING... # The user prueba is properly created by yast2 and is registered in the passwd file correctly. Seems that the problem is that samba wants to validate the existence of the user trough NIS. I haven't installed NIS and don't want to do this. Please, if anyone have a clue about this, send it. Thank you. __________________________________________ J.A. Real E.D.P. mailto:jareal@perti.com __________________________________________ CABLES PERTI, S.A.

And : rdev /dev/fd0 /dev/fd0 rdev -R /dev/fd0 0 My kernels are starting but they are given all: 1. by a 2 floppydisk system: kernel panic on device 02:00 2. by my 1 floppydisk system: is crashing by the init. Do somebody know what I'm doing wrong!!! Please help me or can nobody help me??? Greetings, RAS

VMWare and SuSE 8.0
by Peter Akre 30 May '02

30 May '02

I am trying to install SuSE 8 via VMWare on an XP Pro box. As soon as it reboots after the install from CD 1 I choose "linux" fron the lilo screen and get a VMWare error telling me to disable PAE (physical Address Extension) in the guest operating system. 1. Is there a SuSE boot option to disable PAE? 2. Has anybody else tried to install SuSE 8 on an XP box via VMWare? Thanks Peter Akre

3com wireless card setup help wanted
by Josef Demergis 30 May '02

30 May '02

Hello list. I bought a #com wireless lan card with xjack and was wondering how to configure it to work with Suse 8.0. I have found some 'poldhu' drivers on the net that are supposed to work with this card but I am unsure about using them. Is there an 'approved'' suse way to go about it. I would appreciate any help from anybody that has managed to configure the card in suse. Thanks in advance, Josef

KDE 3.0.1 upgrade changes ownership of kdeglobals?
by Jon Clausen 30 May '02

30 May '02

As I upgraded to 3.0.1 I had a rather annoying, though minor, thing happen. It was a couple of days before I sat down and figured it out. Symptoms: Custom keyboard shortcuts stopped working. Fonts became *very* small. Colors changed (on window decorations a.s.o) Problem: Somewhere along the upgrade, ~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals became property of root:root -rw------ Solution: chown jon:users kdeglobals Nice thing was that the original content of kdeglobals was intact, so logout/login and I had my settings back... :) I wonder why this happened though, and just wanted to let y'all know... Sort of 'for the record'... Oh yeah - this is on 8.0... Jon Clausen

disk not communicating
by Walter Moore 30 May '02

30 May '02

Have any of you seen a problem with disks stopping communicating, but when the system is turned off for a while and turned back on, they work again? The initial symptoms we saw was that oracle was not working properly. Then we noticed that while df showed paritions mounted, all partitions associated with a given disk actually would give input/output errors when you would try to touch them. The 'ls' command would return nothing while the 'df' command showed tons of space used. I'm using SuSE 7.0. The hardware is HP Vectra VL. I've seen this problem with various PCs. Once the PC is turned back on again, the disks continue to work for a long time with out problems. Is this definitely hardware related, or is this a communication problem with the disk and OS? thanks for your help, Walter
