Intermittent WvDial/USB modem problem
by John Lamb 24 Aug '02

24 Aug '02

I'm getting intermittent problems connecting with an ELSA MicroLink 56k USB modem (SuSE 8.0). Specifically, the logs look like the following. Can anyone suggest where to look for a solution? I'm using KInternet to do the actual dialling. Any information would be helpful: where is the error generated? what does it mean? where are the config files? Aug 24 07:57:31 uyea pppd[1437]: pppd 2.4.1 started by root, uid 0 Aug 24 07:57:31 uyea pppd[1437]: Perms of /dev/ttyACM0 are ok, no 'mesg n' neccesary.

I've seen the same question on the suse-laptop list but no solution. I got the modem working in 7.3 without problems.

HPNA = Ethernet???
by Dennis J.Tuchler 24 Aug '02

24 Aug '02

I just set up an earthlink DSL connection using a router/modem that connects with other computers through a wireless or HPNA card. As far as Iunderstand, an HPNA card is an ethernet card with a telephone-line connection directly from it. I find no entry in the Hardware HOW-TO for this kind of card. My question: Has anyone any idea where one gets drivers for a card like this? Thanks -- dj tuchler dtuchler(a)earthlink.net

Samba config problems

Hi, I installed Samba with Yast, which tells me that client and server files are installed. However it appears that it isn't: sonylin:/etc/samba # smbclient //linux/nick added interface ip=192.168.123.254 bcast=192.168.123.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Got a positive name query response from 192.168.123.151 ( 192.168.123.151 ) tdb((null)): tdb_open_ex: could not open file //var/lib/samba/unexpected.tdb: No such file or directory tdb((null)): tdb_open_ex: could not open file //var/lib/samba/unexpected.tdb: No such file or directory tdb((null)): tdb_open_ex: could not open file //var/lib/samba/unexpected.tdb: No such file or directory Password: session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE What can I do about this? I'm looking through documentation but it's a bit confusing. Thanks in advance. Nick

Synaptic gone AWOL AND apt-get cannot get exclusive lock on database error (SOLVED).
by Brian Durant 24 Aug '02

24 Aug '02

I am including both as the two issues proved to be directly related. The problem started with Synaptic hangin during a building of dependencies. Then I deleted the Synaptic filter file by entering the root directory, finding the sub-directory and deleting the file. When this was done, both the "apt-get" command and Synaptic reported that they: could not open RPM database:cannot get exclusive lock on database The techniques mentioned in http://apt4rpm.sourceforge.net/faq.html#q31 did not work. I was then made aware that the problem was not a Synaptic or apt4rpm specific problem, found the solution in the SuSE-E archive: rpm --rebuilddb Now everything is just peachy. Thanks to all that helped out, especially Richard Bos. Brian

./configure problem
by Geraint Jones 24 Aug '02

24 Aug '02

I'm trying to install kpsql v1.0, but when I run ./configure I get this right at the end: checking for KDE... configure: error: in the prefix, you've chosen, are no kde headers installed. This will fail. So, check this please and use another prefix! What am I doing wrong? Thanks, Geraint Jones

Ethernet connection to the Internet
by Ronald Wiplinger 24 Aug '02

24 Aug '02

I cannot see it!!! Hopefully somebody can help me: I have an ADSL line to ISP 1 on the ethernet card eth0 I got a second ADSL line to ISP 2 on the ethernet card eth1 If I setup a Windows XP machine for testing (directly to the ADSL line 2): I used in TCP/IP settings: IP address 61.59.45.205 Subnet 255.255.255.0 Default gateway 61.59.45.1 (DNS 139.175.55.244) I can ping from a dos window: 61.59.45.1 (ping able !!!) With Yast I setup the same for eth1, let eth0 untouched!!! No routing setting for the moment for eth1 !!!! ping 61.59.45.205 results as expected ==> Ethernet card / TCP/IP works ping 61.59.45.1 (dates are transmitted, received - as I can see on the LEDs) no result displayed on hte screen What could be the problem? There is a script running from Monmotha (firewall between eth0 and eth3). Could be this a problem? I choosed Monmotha script over SuSE firewall, since Monmotha works with Iptables and Suse with ipchains I use SuSE 7.3 at this machine. bye Ronald
