KDE mounting
by David Krider 03 Jun '03

03 Jun '03

First, I have to state that I hate automounters of all kinds. To me, they just get in the way. Perhaps this leads to my problem, but, if so, I still need to find a workaround. I'd like to get rid of the icons on my desktop, because all I use them for is to mount my various media. There was a KDE util included in the Maroon Toque distro that sat in the "system tray" and kept track of mounting and unmounting drives. I can't find this in SuSE. Do I need to install another package? Is there a new program that does this, but is called something else? Thanks, dk

ApacheSSL on SuSE 8.0
by Jared Mahoney 03 Jun '03

03 Jun '03

Hello. I am trying to bring ApacheSSL up on SuSE 8.0. I set HTTPD_SEC_MOD_SSL to "yes" in /etc/sysconfig/apache and ran SuSEconfig --module apache. Now when I try to bring up ApacheSSL I get the following error message: Starting httpd [ PERL PHP4 SSL ] Syntax error on line 1442 of /etc/httpd/httpd.conf: Invalid command 'SSLEngine', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration I have been unable to find an explanation. Please help. Thanks, Jared

HELP : tweaking/building NVIDIA from tar
by Rohit 03 Jun '03

03 Jun '03

Hi all, As you know, I have a past history of struggling with my NVIDIA card. Few days back, I succeeded in installing my (new) Riva TNT2 on windows in fully acceledated mode. My old card had old drivers CD, which would not work very well with this new card - same model NVIDIA claimed. So I took the new card, installed old drivers, then installed new drivers - that came with this card, and all went fine! Now I have my new card working in windows 98, with full accelerattion, with updated drivers. Now the real problem. I used the nvidia unified installer, and this screws up my display in a big way with constant hangs. I used the installer to install/ldconfig/depmod etc and then manually tweaked XF86Config to load nvidia module. X shows nvidia splash, and then hangs as "enlightenment starting" animation starts. Please review my game plan before I try tonight. Also give suggestions... 1. I shall try disabling "AGP Fast writes" in the motherboard BIOS and check for performance and system stability in both windows and Linux. 2. If this does not work, I shall have to ditch the installer and use NVIDIA_kernel and NVIDIA_GLX tar files from driver-version-4191 [which, I think, is the latest driver which permitted tar/gz sources for part of interface]. These files can be tweaked for two things - - whether the card has SG/SDRAM - whether I want 4x AGP enabled on my Via motherboard So I shall try all these options. MY Questions for you How am I supposed to do the installation. In the sense, first I do the make, make install in kernel module directory, and then in GLX directory. In between, am I supposed to run "ldconfig -v" and "depmod -qa" and at what time and in which order? And whether I am supposed to change something in /etc/modules.conf or will the changes in /etc/X11/XF86Config suffice? I have no XF86Config-4 file on my SuSE 8.2. Is that abnormal?

installation from boot.iso
by Tom Allison 03 Jun '03

03 Jun '03

I have run into a number of problems with the boot.iso CD for installation of Suse 8.2. I've managed to solve most of them, they are mainly problems with the README file. The largest being the "linux install=ftp..." statement. It should be changed to "install=ftp://IP_ADDRESS/directory". I'm not certain that this is the only problem, as some of the results have been a little inconsistent. But I've managed to patiently work around each of these in turn. However, all that aside, I am genuinely stuck at one point in the installation process. After the kernel is downloaded, I am presented with a screen to select the language and other installation options. I picked the language, English, and let the installation process select LVM, but drop USB stored devices (I don't have any). At this point, the back-end screens (CTRL+ALT+F3?) brings up an IO Failure on reading the floppy device and everything hangs at this point, for many hours. I never had a floppy disk in there. Didn't think I needed one since I have a CD for the installation. I can't find anything that looks like installation directions beyond this one README file in the ftp directory. Does anyone know if this bug can be worked around easily enough? I'm not really sure how to procede at this point. I'm also hoping that there is more documentation on how to use YAST and Suse in general. I'm more familiar with other distributions (Debian, Slackware, Gentoo) that have more documentation made readily available. I am assuming that I am just not finding it in the right place. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thank you.

Samba and OS-X
by Greg Freemyer 03 Jun '03

03 Jun '03

I'm trying to use Samba to serve a filesystem to some OS-X machines. The basic connection works, but a lot of the files I'm trying to migrate have a "*" in the filename. Linux obviously supports that if you handle it correctly. Is there someway in Samba to make it work? Thanks Greg -- Greg Freemyer

Can't boot ghosted harddisk.
by Bo Jacobsen 03 Jun '03

03 Jun '03

I have Ghosted a harddisk (disk to disk) with SuSE 8.2 and Grub as bootloader. The system, on the new harddisk, will not boot and with systems that had Lilo I just booted from a CD and ran lilo. Now with Grub I'm not able to do the same, and reading the SuSE and Grub info has not clarified what to do. Any suggestions Thanks in advance Bo Jacobsen

Grub editing
by Constant Brouerius van Nidek 03 Jun '03

03 Jun '03

Since some days I have an error at the address 209.3 from my 256 memory chip. Before running to the computer shop in order to get me a new chip I know that I can reduce the memory use at bootup by just adding mem=209MB. In lilo I had experience in the past that this info could be added in the append line. For Grub I have no idea where to include it. Just adding it in the line for the SuSE boot does not take effect. Somebody knows where to include the info?
