Hi! Im new user in Linux and I love Suse but: Can someone give my a suggestion for a "easy-to-handle" designprogram for websaits in Suse? It OK if I have to use html code but I also like "what you see is what you get". Thanks from Thomas Kihlberg, Sweden

SAMBA printing
by Charles Griffin 01 Aug '02

01 Aug '02

I'm hung up on a final step in getting my printer set up in Samba. I've got a desktop with a printer attached and a laptop. Both are dual booting SuSE 8.0 and Win2k. I'm trying to get Samba set up between both SuSE installations before moving on to Win2k. I've read Brian Carver's very helpful section in the unofficial SuSE FAQ, as well as several other articles and Samba howto's. I've got samba set up as a server on my desktop with the printer in the smb.conf file. I was able to configure the printer in Yast2 on the laptop (I found it when I clicked "browse"). But, it won't print right. In Brian's article, he says I have to go into SWAT's passwords section and create a samba user for each client. I think this may be where I'm hung up. Every time I try to create a user it tells me that the user does not exist in system password file (/etc/passwd) and it cannot add account without a valid local system user. I'm probably missing something really basic here so any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Charles __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Updates cause Konqueror to crash
by Derek Fountain 01 Aug '02

01 Aug '02

I've just finished a batch of 8.0 updates I got from the suse ftp server. Now when I try to access a website Konq crashes - even localhost. It's OK with file: and ftp: protocols, but not http. I created a new temporary user and it does it in that account too, so it's not corrupted settings. Galeon works fine. Anyone else found this? The packages I updated were glibc, openssl, timezone, nn, wwwoffle (which is currently unused), mm and apache. I suppose openssl and glibc are the obvious candidates for causing this sort of problem. What's the easiest way of backing those changes out? -- 12:44pm up 8 days, 3:23, 1 user, load average: 0.03, 0.01, 0.00

Re: [SLE] mk_initrd - failed to mount image (help)
by tabanna 01 Aug '02

Thank you kindly, Darren I have downloaded the RPM for Default Kernel, which, I believe, comes, supposedly, complete with ALL necessary Modules. Thus, it seems "mysterious" that one needs to compile ones own kernel with the block device "loop" ~ this ought to be IN the modules provided :( This was the error message that I was getting :- ____________________________________ AIG:~ # /sbin/mk_initrd using "/dev/hda7" as root device (mounted on "/" as "reiserfs") creating initrd "//boot/initrd" for kernel "//boot/vmlinuz" (2.4.18-4GB) 10000+0 records in 10000+0 records out mke2fs 1.26 (3-Feb-2002) tune2fs 1.26 (3-Feb-2002) Setting interval between check 0 seconds ioctl: LOOP_SET_FD: Invalid argument failed to mount image AIG:~ # _________________________ ~ much appreciated ~ thanks richard ..................................... > Hi; > Yes, make sure you set loop as a module in the block device section of make > xconfig.

Patch RPMs
by Derek Fountain 01 Aug '02

01 Aug '02

I've downloaded the apache *-patch rpms from SuSE's ftp server. When I try to "rpm -ivh" them on my 8.0 box I get a whole pile of conflict errors - each file in the patch rpm conflicts with a file in the installed rpm. That makes sense but I actually want those files to be overwritten. What do I do to get the patches in? Use a --force? Or --replacefiles? Or what? -- 9:16am up 7 days, 23:55, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.02, 0.00

Mounting.

Hi. I should install Iglooftp here today, but could not get the DVD drive mounted: Could not mount the source medium. /dev/hdc: Input/output error mount: you must specify the filesystem type On the KDE's desktop there are no problems getting the DVD mounted. What could be wrong ? -- Med venlig hilsen - Best regards - Vy 73 de oz4kk Erik Jakobsen - erik(a)urbakken.dk SuSE Linux 8.0 Prof.

relaying-denied
by bob barish 01 Aug '02

01 Aug '02

Hello Everyone; I have search FAQs, Readme files and so forth but can not seem to figure out what is wrong. I am using 8.0 w/ the sendmail version that came with it. I have different clients popping off and sendmail email w/ my email server. The only problem @ this point is when clients send email they get relay denied. I have gone in /etc/mail/relay-denied and for example put in 64.24.0.0/16 and 66.19.0.0/16 ( small example) and then restart sendmail. I have also tried putting all the IPs in the access file w/ RELAY and then do a makemap hash /etc/mail/access < /etc/mail/access , restart sendmail and still get relay-denied. Any clues for a desperate person. -- Bob Barish B.M.T Solutions http://www.bmtsolutions.com 2:09am up 5 days, 9:53, 3 users, load average: 0.15, 0.03, 0.01

mk_initrd - failed to mount image (help)
by Darren Harmon 01 Aug '02

01 Aug '02

Hi; I think the subject says it all. After rebuilding my kernel (and modules) I run mk_initrd and after a small think it ends with the line, failed to mount image. I've tried several different kernel sources and they all come up with the same message. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Here is the total output from mk_initrd. using "/dev/hda6" as root device (mounted on "/" as "reiserfs") creating initrd "//boot/initrd" for kernel "//boot/vmlinuz" (2.4.18) failed to mount image --------------------------------------------------------- This is how I build a kernel (as per the reference book p 234). cd /usr/src/linux make xconfig (choose a known working configuration with SuSE 8.0) make dep make clean make bzImage make modules cp /usr/src/linux-2.4.18/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz make modules_install mk_initrd lilo Thanks for any help (I cannot turn off my computer until I have this fixed:-) -- --------- Darren Harmon http://www.darrenharmon1.uklinux.net
