I don't know but you could try this, as man dd says that it can have stdin/out also.. dd ibs=something obs=something if=/dev/hdX | tee /dev/hdY > /dev/hdZ Just try if you have time. -- Rohit +9122 5692 2108 G9,Floor-1,Chandivali : SDE : TLSI : 9821394599(a)bplmobile.com The information below is compulsorily added for non-mahindrabt recepients. ********************************************************* Disclaimer This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and is protected by law.

LSM patches?
by Thomas Jones 24 Jun '03

24 Jun '03

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello all, Has anyone ventured to package(or know of some) Linux Security Modules for version 8.2? More specifically, i'm looking for the SELinux patches. I don't have a spare system right now; and would really hate to frag my "good" system trying to resolve dependencies, libs, etc...... I know Roman was going to try and get SuSE more inline with the LSM patches to reduce compilation errors, but not sure what came about of it. That was back before version 8.0 I believe. Thanks. ;) - -- Thomas Jones Linux-Howtos Network Administrator OpenGPG Key: 0x6A3DF6E9 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2-rc1-SuSE (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+96vNQT2komo99ukRAu07AJ9FUVTqy7bI+DDDXnp9DtWI15g2XACgrY79 DR6AsihGuEQFwJAbfkPDKZg= =Pr4J -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

logout works weird
by Constant Brouerius van Nidek 24 Jun '03

24 Jun '03

Fine tuning is a nice work but sometimes you are left with weird behavior. If I logout of my KDE since today I have to click two times on the logout button. The first time some programs stop but my KDE desktop is still there and intact. At the second time clicking I may logout. The fact that I get also a screen saver although I have unchecked the check box may be connected to this phenomena. Is it possible to have two sets of desktops. Know in the meantime that that may be possible with KDE/Gnome. Other possibilities? Solution?

8.0 and Wireless Network
by DB Troll 24 Jun '03

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 In the next couple of days my ISP will be installing a wireless network connection for me. What I would like to know is what do I need to do to use this with SuSE and how to check that I have all needed apps and that my nic card is operating properly. As is usual when I mention Linux there techs all say, you cannot use linux, you have to use Windoze.

Korganizer 'clients' question
by C Hamel 24 Jun '03

24 Jun '03

What is wrong w/this picture? I had a calendar file on my smbfs share & was using it w/a previous version of korganizer. When I installed SuSE I pointed korganizer to this file and none of the alarms were honored. So... I disabled & closed the kalarmd daemon, made a brand new calendar and saved it locally then activated it, which loaded the daemon. Alarm times were once again honored but --and herein lies the rub-- the 'clients' file in .kde/share/apps/kalarmd directory had two entries: (1)the file saved on smbfs; (2)the file saved locally. Further, I would get two different pop-ups, and the one saved on smbfs wouldn't set the alarm though the local one would. So... I deleted the first entry in the 'clients' file after shutting everything down. I then reloaded and I once again have two entries in that file --both the local file. So... I ask again: what's wrong, if anything, with this picture? Should I be concerned about this? I can find no mention of this in the handbook, though I have not checked the bugzilla, recently. ...CH

Kmenu in SuSE8.2
by Alex Daniloff 24 Jun '03

24 Jun '03

Hello SuSE folkz, I did clean installation of SuSE8.2 Everything went smoothly except the following things: 1. Kmenu in KDE doesn't display some of installed applications. 2. There is no way to add new entries into Kmenu. When I added new application items in Kmenuedit, they weren't updated in the Kmenu. I did logout and login, and even rebooted the system. Kmenu wasn't updated - period. When I reopened Kmenuedit, all my new entries were in place, but I can't see them in Kmenu. This is a very frustrating. Could somebody please help me to correct this issue. Thanks. Alex

problem with ip masquerading
by Lehel Kovach 24 Jun '03

24 Jun '03

I am currently running SuSE 8.0 Professional. I had my SuSE Linux machine set up to masquerade and share an internet connection via a cable modem for a while. Worked great. The problem now is that I moved into an apartment and after setting up my computer to the same configuration, IP masquerading seems to freeze up the computer when it tries to start SuSEfirewall2. Nothing has changed except for external IP for my eth0. My internal IPs are the same. My external ISP is even the same company.practically the same everything except for the type of cable modem. Here are the symptoms. If my Ethernet cable is plugged in during boot, dhcp will get the ip address. SuSEfirewall2 will then try to start but then it will get stuck there. If I unplug the cable and reboot, dhcp will fail to get an ip and background and SuSEfirewall2 will just error saying that there is no ip for eth0 and then continue with loading. If I then shut down SuSEfirwall2 and then do a ifup eth0 to get the ip, then disable IP masquerading and restart SuSEfirewall2. The firewall loads up fine. If I try to enable IP masquerading, when the SuSEfirewall2 tries to restart, it hangs the whole machine again. Help, Lehel

Re: [suse-kde] KDEsu problems
by Carl William Spitzer IV 24 Jun '03

I am also having interesting problems. On this box I multoboot with 7.3 personal; at least until I get more memory. When I open console and SU then init 6 I get a funny screen all skrunched up in the middle rather than a clean shutdown. Then I have to REboot. I was also getting this if I logged in as root and did an init 6. This is only recent. Is there an error in one of my scripts?

Patched SuSE kernel still incompatible with aic7xxx or fixed?
by Patriiiiiiiiiick 24 Jun '03

24 Jun '03

Hello! I have an Adaptec Utra160 SCSI card and I wonder if the following problem is solved with the SuSE version of the kernel. http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-linux-e/2002-Oct/3179.html http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-linux-e/2002-Oct/3600.html To summarize the issue, when using this kernel, the system totally hangs when loading both new or old version of the aic7xxx module. This forces you to use the manual install on an IDE drive. The only solution found by then to access the SCSI drives was to compile my own kernel. I wonder if this has been somehow solved since October of last year and if the 8.2 version doesn't have that issue anymore. Thank you for the info! Patrick
