Still no joy - FastTrak 20276
by irvine＠vuosaari.hai.fi 03 Jan '03

03 Jan '03

Hello Again Still having problems with this FastTrak 20276 on-board controller. I have been following the instructions given by SuSE at: http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/wessels_raid133.html I get to the point where I : 3. Scroll the list to the bottom and select Further Modules (actually it asks for more modules) I insert the disk as per instructions and something seems to load but when I re-enter the section 'Load IDE/Raid/SCSI drivers' the FastTrak module seems to be there but does not load when choosen. I get the error message 'Failed to load module FastTrak'. So I go back to the section 'Load IDE/Raid/SCSI drivers' scroll to the bottom and chose 'more modules' again. This time I chose a module mentionned on the page: http://www.vosberg.be/doc/system/hardware/raidprom.shtml This seems to load into ramdisk and when I re-enter the section 'Load IDE/Raid/SCSI drivers' and choose FastTrak it seems to go OK and I get the message 'module FastTrak loaded successfully'. I proceed with: start installation/system and then start installation/update I choose: cdrom, and language I then press OK for all the modules YaST suggests accept 'ataraid' and 'pdcraid' - as the SuSE website suggests. I click on new-installation. In the section on partitioning is the following: format partition /dev/hda2 56.2GB (for / with reiser) format partition /dev/hda1 1011.8MB (for swap) I then go into the section on partitioning. I click on 'base partition setup on this proposal' and the following is displayed. /dev/hda 57.2GB Maxtor 6y060l0 /dev/hda1 1011.8MB F linux swap swap /dev/hda2 56.2GB F linux native / /dev/hdc 57.2GB Maxtor 6y060l0 /dev/hdc1 1011.8MB F linux swap swap /dev/hda2 56.2GB F linux native /dev/sda 57.2GB 1x2mirror/RAID1 /dev/sda1 1011.8MB linux swap swap /dev/sda2 56.2GB linux native Is this really correct? I was expecting the system to see only the raid controlle? What should I do next - other than get some well earned sleep. I am starting to wonder if I will ever get this machine working, or whether it would be better to put the two disk on the ide controllers and use linux soft-raid instead. t.irvine

restoring login manager
by Adagilson B B da Silva 03 Jan '03

03 Jan '03

SuSE detected and installed everything automatically, including my onboard graphic card, but as I had downloaded from SiS.com, before the SuSE installation, a display driver for my onboard card (SiS 530) I make something questionable. I run a rpm command to install xsis.rpm. So, next time I rebooted the GUI didn't begin automatically, but just a prompt (text mode). Well yesterday I learned a lot about setting up SAX and XF86CONFIG :) KDE can run after being invoked at the prompt, but I should type manually "kde". GNOME is started after typing "gdm". What should I do to restore my Ximian dialog box asking for user login at start up? I have SuSE 8.0 (Gnome 1.4 and KDE 3.0) and I also have installed Ximian in my machine, a K6-II 500mhz 256ram thanks for any help a. PS-when booting i can see a gui interface a "blinking" before the prompt. it seems like my monitor couldn't support it. Should be something with XFree? (because I tried configure my Display with YaST2 on KDE, but it was not possible) -- Adagilson Batista Bispo da Silva Bibliotecário FIOCRUZ-Centro de Pesquisa Aggeu Magalhães Fone 81 3302-6524

Kover printing
by Keith Powell 03 Jan '03

03 Jan '03

I have been trying to print CD covers using Kover. If I set Kover options to "Print all on one page", printing starts half way down the page. So it prints the front cover and the rear cover only gets half printed. If I set the options to "Print inlet and booklet", although the printer driver is set to print landscape, it prints in portrait. So most of the cover is printed off the paper. I am using SuSE8.1 with cups. I have used Kover with Libranet, without any problems. It prints perfectly. That distribution uses the lpd printing system, not cups - if that's of any help. Has anyone else tried, and successfully used, Kover with SuSE8.1? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks Keith

Apache HTTPS
by Bill Parker 03 Jan '03

03 Jan '03

Hi All, I need to know how to get apache 1.3.23 working so it can service HTTPS requests properly. I have a Caldera OpenLinux 3.1.1 box which works fine with https://<ip addr> so I know it should NOT be that hard on SuSE 8.0 Here is what I have installed: billp@nermal:~> rpm -q apache apache-1.3.23-142 billp@nermal:~> rpm -q openssl openssl-0.9.6c-80 billp@nermal:~> rpm -q mod_ssl mod_ssl-2.8.7-110 Now I have added the the following lines to /etc/httpd/httpd.conf: after line 316 I inserted: AddModule mod_ssl.c This is the section which contains all the AddModule directives after line 267 I inserted: LoadModule ssl_module /usr/lib/apache/libssl.so Now in starting up apache with /etc/init.d/apache start, I see no LISTEN requests on port 443 (https/TCP), but in the /var/log/httpd/ssl_engine_log I get the info listed below: [02/Jan/2003 14:49:36 18296] [info] Server: Apache/1.3.23, Interface: mod_ssl/2.8.7, Library: OpenSSL/0.9.6c [02/Jan/2003 14:49:36 18296] [info] Init: 1st startup round (still not detached) [02/Jan/2003 14:49:36 18296] [info] Init: Initializing OpenSSL library [02/Jan/2003 14:49:36 18296] [info] Init: Seeding PRNG with 136 bytes of entropy [02/Jan/2003 14:49:36 18296] [info] Init: Generating temporary RSA private keys (512/1024 bits) [02/Jan/2003 14:49:37 18296] [info] Init: Configuring temporary DH parameters (512/1024 bits) [02/Jan/2003 14:49:38 18297] [info] Init: 2nd startup round (already detached) [02/Jan/2003 14:49:38 18297] [info] Init: Reinitializing OpenSSL library [02/Jan/2003 14:49:38 18297] [info] Init: Seeding PRNG with 136 bytes of entropy [02/Jan/2003 14:49:38 18297] [info] Init: Configuring temporary RSA private keys (512/1024 bits) [02/Jan/2003 14:49:38 18297] [info] Init: Configuring temporary DH parameters (512/1024 bits) [02/Jan/2003 14:49:38 18297] [info] Init: Initializing (virtual) servers for SSL Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong, it shouldn't be so hard to get apache under SuSE 8.0 to process https://<some IP> Also, will SuSE be upgrading Apache to 1.3.27, since apache.org states that this should be done to close all security issues? Or does keeping everything patched via Online Update in 'Yast2' cover apache 1.3.23 effectively? -Bill

problem to setup a gateway
by Xavier Sosnowska 03 Jan '03

03 Jan '03

Hi there, I have a problem to setup a gateway at home. On the gateway machine, the 2 network cards (192.168.0.1 for the LAN and 192.168.2.22 for the Internet connection) are properly configured. I can ping them both and surf the web. On the client machine, the network card is also properly configured. I can ping the gateway and the gateway can ping the client. However, altough I specified the 192.168.0.1 for routing, I cannot access the web fron the client machine. I'm sure I just forgot the last step but I don't know what to do, as I'm no network expert. Any help with that would be greatly appreciated ;-> Thanks and cheers Xavier _____________________________________________________________________ GRAND JEU SMS : Pour gagner un NOKIA 7650, envoyez le mot IF au 61321 (prix d'un SMS + 0.35 euro).

RE: [SLE] problem to setup a gateway
by Xavier Sosnowska 03 Jan '03

03 Jan '03

Hi Jon, Thanks for your quick answer. I cannot try it, as I'm in the office right now but I would have a couple of questions: 1. Is there any reason why I would need to change the addresses of the network cards? The addresses I picked up were the ones sugested in the SuSE support db at: http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/masq80.html. Sorry if this question sounds stupid but I'm no network expert ;-> 2. Is there any reason to use shorewall instead of SuSE firewall? I found it very handy to configure via YaST and it seems to cover my (basic) needs (all my ports are stealthed when scanning them). Thanks in advance anc cheers, Xavier _____________________________________________________________________ Envie de discuter en "live" avec vos amis ?

How much memory/disk is required during YOU?
by Hahnsson Henrik 03 Jan '03

03 Jan '03

My Firewall is an "old" Pentium 166 w/ 2GB disk (some 670M free after I removed all extras) and 64M RAM. It's running 7.3 and SuSEFirewall2. I'm trying to update the packages using YOU. When YOU is trying to load the list of packages, i.e. before I can select which patches to install, it goes through to about 96%, but then it ends up exercising the hard disk (swapping?) continuously. Yesterday I let it go on for a couple of hours, but it didn't get out so I had to interrupt the process. All other processes are slowed down: window updates takes almost forever, the DHPC-server stops responding and so on. Even interrupting the YOU-process (without hitting the reset-button) takes at least 15 minutes. Seems that some more resources are needed, probably space - I just don't know what kind: HD, RAM or Swap? Of course I could update packages one by one, but I find the YOU so much more convenient. The firewall is running firewall2 (masquerading and routing - everything blocked from the outside), dhcpd and apache 1.3.x (just for the intra - I wrote a small utility that extracts some interesting details from various system and firewall log files to a text file that I can watch using a browser). I'm using X to talk to the guy. He is screen-/keyboard- and mouseless as he's standing far down in the darkest corner. Do I need to close down some of these to free more resources? Do I need to boot up in single user mode? Any ideas? /Henrik
