Finding Linux User Number
by steve 30 Sep '02

30 Sep '02

Hi all, I just realized that I have one of those really early user numbers and I thought it would be fun to see how low it is. What I cannot figure out is where the heck is it! Search google either turns out too many or too few replies, and nothing related to finding the user#. Any help would be appreciated! -- Steve _____________________________________________________________ HTML in e-mail is not safe.

Kmail Address Book Import - Help (Newbie)
by L. Mark Stone 30 Sep '02

30 Sep '02

In trying to migrate work email from Outlook 2000/Exchange server (MAPI mode) to KMail, the challenge has been to export/import my 1,200+ Contacts. I tried a tool listed at kmail.kde.org called Outlook2Unix. This tool is a 32-bit Windows app that exports many different kinds of Outlook folders; email, contacts, etc. (I just needed Contacts). The tool generated a file called Contacts.kab that the documentation says is in native KMail format, and that I should copy the file to a specific location for KMail to see it. However, KMail doesn't see it, and I can't figure out how to get KMail to import this. Indeed, I can't even figure out where, in what file, etc., KMail actually stores its address book, even after searching the archives on the Kmail mailing list (which doesn't have a lot of activity, BTW) and my own hard disk. So, I tried emailing the tool's author, but the email bounced. Hence, my post here. Any ideas? Thanks! Mark -- _________________________________________________________ Another Message From... L.

NVIDIA experiences?
by Rohit 30 Sep '02

30 Sep '02

Hi all, Are there any owners of NVidia Riva TNT2 32 AGP card? How does it work? I am about to buy one - should I buy this? Are there any known issues of SL-8.0 with this? [X4.2 with this?]. I couldn't locate anything radical on the net - the search yielded full support from SL as well as NVidia's site - but I would love an actually performance review from a non-commercial geek like me. Yes, you can send me SMS through email at the bplmobile address below :-) Thanks, Rohit -- (+91-22-692) 2101 D2, floor-3, Chand : SE : TLSI : 3578 SuSE 8.0 2.4-18-4GB on i686 : sendmail-8.9.3-42 : pine-4.44-121 rohit.sharma(a)iitbombay.org [maximus_two(a)yahoo.com] 9821394599(a)bplmobile.com ********************************************************* Disclaimer This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and is protected by law.

Corrupted LVM, need help
by Greg Freemyer 30 Sep '02

30 Sep '02

All, I have a LVM based data disk with 3 LVs. My OS disks are _not_ LVM based. We had a lightning storm over the weekend, and an old kernel got booted when the machine was powered back on. Now I get the following: SuSEbox:~ # pvscan pvscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...) pvscan -- inactive PV "/dev/sda1" is associated to unknown VG "TruStore-Data" (run vgscan) pvscan -- total: 1 [55.91 GB] / in use: 1 [55.91 GB] / in no VG: 0 [0] SuSEbox:~ # vgscan vgscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...) vgscan -- ERROR "lv_read_all_lv(): number of LV" can't get data of volume group "TruStore-Data" from physical volume(s) vgscan -- "/etc/lvmtab" and "/etc/lvmtab.d" successfully created vgscan -- WARNING: This program does not do a VGDA backup of your volume group SuSEbox:~ # Any ideas on how to restore my LVM config tables (VGDAs ??). I think LVM keeps backups somewhere.

Text login problem SuSE v8
by John Proctor 30 Sep '02

30 Sep '02

I have just started having a text login problem, when I login via the kde v3 login box I can login ok but if I try and login via the text login screen I get password not recognised. Also commands such as ps and top no longer work I get the following error message: /usr/bin/top No such file or directory, and yet if I cd into the directory the programs are there. If I bring up a shell in the KDE 3 desktop and type init 1 I then can login via the text login. Also when I login via the KDE3 desktop I receive the following error messages: Kernel: ulci.c: found UHCI device with no IRQ assigned, modprobe:modprobe: Cant locate module char-major-10-134 Kernel: mtrr: no more MTRRs available modprobe:modprob: Cant locate module char-major-10-134 I am extremely worried because up to now there has been no problem. I have also allowed students to telnet in to do there work maybe I was foolish. Any help would be greatly appreciated kindest regards John Proctor _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com

sux! thank you Jaska! chgrp that one to wheel! any ideas on how to get access.conf working properly to limit users for remote login on a pretty much default Suse8 setup? so far no luck, uncommented proper line from access.conf... added pam.access.so to /etc/pam.d/login but still not responding...

access.conf etc
by Susan Buczak 30 Sep '02

30 Sep '02

well anyway been reading the pam docs... so far access.conf changes not accepted... have followed all recommendations... doing something wrong, it's my last glitch... all else is pretty much in order. maybe I can get Bastille for this version I actually have not checked that, I have heard of a thing called suse harden, anyone know of it? Being that's a new machine and currently not running any services even locally I assume shutting down sshd which installed by default is safe till it's updated? how can I get a mod that does that nice 10 second delay between failed logins onto my redhat I wonder? Tried just adding it to login.defs on RH and no cigar... anyone know exactly which mod that is? hmm...
