pcmcia card and /etc/rc.config at SuSE72
by Verdi March 28 Jun '02

28 Jun '02

Hi, I just got a Cisco Aironet 350 pcmcia card. I'd like to know is there any setting I've to adjust in /etc/rc.config? Currently the entries (which I think related to network and pcmcia) are: # Networking # # Number of network cards: "_0" for one, "_0 _1 _2 _3" for four cards # NETCONFIG="_0" ##---> do I need to change to "_0 _1" ? or is this for ethernet card only? # This variable contains all indices of active PCMCIA network devices # NETCONFIG_PCMCIA="" ##---> no further explanation in the comment, what should I fill with? # IP Adresses # IPADDR_0="" IPADDR_1="" IPADDR_2="" IPADDR_3="" IFCONFIG_0="dhcpclient" IFCONFIG_1="" IFCONFIG_2="" IFCONFIG_3="" ##---> do I need to modify for IFCONFIG_1 to "dhcpclient" also? # Should PCMCIA service be started at boottime? (yes/no) # START_PCMCIA="yes" Regards, Verdi -- GMX - Die Kommunikationsplattform im Internet. http://www.gmx.net

re[2]: [SLE] Running X window remotely

The subject is "Using cygwin/Xfree-86 to access Suse" The aimsgroup archive is missing this. Maybe you can find in the lists.suse.com archive. (my dns server is having problems, so I can't go look for it myself). Regardless, the first step is getting xdmcp working. That is the remote xwindows login server. Then launch the cygwin/xfree86 client. Once you get xdmcp working, it is also easy to connect from another Linux box: ie. From another Linux box Get a basic text login prompt. Login start x with you machine as the target. It has been a while, but I think that is "X -query your_server" Greg Freemyer Internet Engineer Deployment and Integration Specialist Compaq ASE - Tru64 Compaq Master ASE - SAN Architect The Norcross Group www.NorcrossGroup.com

Sound problems on Suse 8.0 (ESS allegro chip)
by Jorge de la Vega 28 Jun '02

28 Jun '02

I have tried on my own without success, please those gurus over there, help me! I installed Suse 8.0 and I am able to configure my sound card in KDE, I can hear the system sounds when max or min the windows, etc. I was able to play and listen cd music with xmms but not with kscd. Then I reboot the computer and now I am not able to listen again xmms at the same volume but only a very low soundlevel. when I increase the volume of my speakers. I have changed the sound levels of all different input or output channels with kmix, alsamix, with no success. wav sound is ok and sometimes too hard that distorts. Then I try to use alsaconf to reinstall the soundcard (following suggestions from the skb) of course deinstalling the previous setuop with yast2. I still cannot get a reasonable level output from the cd. I don?t know what else can do, what config files to edit, etc. Can someone give a hand? I apologize for my low english level, as I know some people don?t like it on this list. If they know spanish, then I can say it better. I still have problems with the segmentation fault after a halt, that nobody wanted to answer. Thanks Jorge de la Vega Mexico City. email:jvega@stat.umn.edu

Cannot fsck beacuse root is not read only
by John Sved 28 Jun '02

28 Jun '02

I have SuSE 8.0 During the boot sequence I see the following message on screen. ERROR ! cannot fsck because root is not read only. This started afer using mkinit or mk_init following the removal of a NIC module. That was fixed but since then the ERROR message occurs. How should I restore the normal fsck after 20 boots. /dev/hda5 is the root What is the correct command to make root read only at boot time and restore the normal operation? -- JS

Flash Player Freeze
by Simon 28 Jun '02

28 Jun '02

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Has anyone had any problems with the Flash player locking up their systems? Whenever I view a site with .swf content, there is currently a high chance it will completely freeze whatever browser I'm looking at it in. (Konqueror, and Galeon are both affected.) The only way I can get out of it is to completely kill the browser process, and start it up again. Most annoying. I've had to disable the flash plugin for now. Does anyone have any idea of a way to prevent this from happening? It *did* work fine for a while, but I'm not sure what happened to the system to break it. I've tried updating to the latest version with no joy. SuSE 8.0 by the way.

openssh update
by David Monk 28 Jun '02

28 Jun '02

I just noticed the openssh update in YOU. I got it, had major troubles with it, then reverted to the originally installed openssh that came with 7.3. Deciding to give it another whirl to see if I could fix the failed password problem myself. Could be a typo somewhere in the pam config for sshd? I noticed the update is no longer available in YOU. Anyone have any idea when SuSE might release this? I have a few boxes that I need to be able to ssh into from the internet, and I hate having a vulnerable service exposed. --- David Monk CCNA, MCSE david(a)purplebear.net
