Hi Mike, You don't need to set up NIS. All you need is to assign IP addresses to your machines and put them in the /etc/hosts file. Use a reserved address range like 192.168.x.x . You might want to do some reading first. Try the Linux Documentation Project: http://www.tldp.org . There are full-length books in there, including the famous "NAG" (Network Adminstration Guide).

I managed to get access to the internet on both machines by choosing to "get IP address automatically" in the Yast2 network module. Also, I stumbled across the command "rcnetconfig -start" in the manual and tried it on both machines. This was what finally gave me a connection. Do I have to give this command every time I boot into linux? However I cannot ping either machine from the other. I want each machine to be able to "see" the other machine, share files, etc. I suspect that I need to set up NIS in order to do this (as you can see I don't know much about setting up a little home network...:-) Do I need to set up one machine as a server & the other a client? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Font warning - KDE 3.0.2 / SuSE 7.3
by Joe Sullivan 03 Jul '02

03 Jul '02

Hey, Anyone planning on installing the newly-released KDE 3.0.2 on SuSE 7.3, keep in mind that the QT3 RPMs are built without anti-aliasing support. And you're not given a choice in the matter. This because of some kind of bug it causes with XFree86 4.0.1. I found this out the hard way when I upgraded everything to KDE 3.0.2 including the QT3 packages... only to restart KDE and find my desktop looking horribly jagged. As a user of XFree86 4.0.2, this is extremely irritating. Of course, rather than get people to upgrade their X server another .0.1 level, we all get hosed instead. Who's upgrading KDE but not their X server? You'll need to rebuild QT3 from the source package, changing the build.sh and qt3.spec files so they allow Xft. Sitting here waiting for my rebuild of the RPM to finish... Hoping I remember not to trust the QT3 packages for SuSE next time.

problemas con Yast2 InstallMedia
by Carlos Fangmeier 03 Jul '02

03 Jul '02

Hola, espero que alguien pueda ayudar con el siguiente problema, por lo que he visto no soy el unico con estos sintomas. Hace un par de dias intente instalar Suse 8 desde mi disco duro, pero me fue imposible configurar el instalador para que montara la praticion correspondientes, siempre arrojaba el mensaje de que esta estaba ya montada. Como no encontre solucion alguna decide por instalarlo a traves de ftp al equipo de un amigo, todo resulto bien Pense que el probelma solo se presentaria por el hecho de que era la version bajada desde el servidor ftp de Suse. Para mi sorpresa, la primera vez que inicie en mi nueva instalacion de suse, intente cambia el medio de donde habia realizado la instalación, pero me fue imposible, me encontre con el mismo error. Se trata de algún bug de los script del Yast2 que no este documentado, hay alguine que lo hay aresuelto? Por lo que he visto somos muchos con el mismo problema, pero no he logrado dar con la solución. tal vez alguien de esta lista pueda ayudar. Atte. Carlos Fangmeier H.

Mount Devices
by gberta＠sympatico.ca 03 Jul '02

03 Jul '02

I have just installed 8.0 and when I try to copy files saved on floppy's and cd- roms to my new SuSE system, I can not read any files on these devices. I know it's a permission problem, I don't know how in YaST to set it up so I can read and save to these devices from the file manager or from StarOffice. I am the only user on my machine and want it to mount these on boot. Thanks Gord Berta gberta(a)sympatico.ca

This was supposed to > be easy... libiodbc-devel and unixODBC-devel are mutually exclusive. You probably have unixODBC-devel installed with libiodbc. Try it the other way around. I have: libiodbc-3.0.5-151 libiodbc-devel-3.0.5-151 unixODBC-2.1.1-190 installed and all works well. If nothing else, "rpm --erase" the odbc packages and let apt-get resolve the dependecies for you. Like the error message says, "apt-get -f install" will usually fix things (if the system isn't too fscked up to begin with). -jrh
