Swap Partition
by cxiii - 15 Jun '03

15 Jun '03

When I installed SuSe I went with the default install. I have a 14 gig hard drive and 320mb of RAM. My problem is is that I left it default when installing it and it created a 640mb swap partition. In the manual it says that I wouldn?t really need that much of a swap drive considering they were thought of when memory was small. When I went to the Linux Documentation Project and downloaded one of thier documents, it talked about it as if necessary to have a large swap partition. Which one is right? I?d like to cut it in half to save space. I tried to reinstall everything with Win98 starup disk and fdisk didn?t recognize the logical partition anyway and was fruitless. I keep a 3 gig partition for 98 only because there?s a few games I want to finish. Otherwise I?m sold with Linux and can get around pretty well. I have a k62 450. Get it, this is 2 questions.

Installing through internet
by Filipe Joel de Almeida 15 Jun '03

15 Jun '03

Hi, I decided not to wait until I receive Suse Linux to install it, so I downloaded the Boot.iso and burned it to a CD-rom, so that I would install it through the internet. The problem is the cd-rom doesn't detect my network card (D-Link DFE-550) and this card is not included in the drivers it has. How do I get around this problem? Thanks in advance, Filipe Joel de Almeida Network Consultant Filipe.Joel(a)netcabo.pt

Problem booting Win XP from boot window...
by Daly Gutierrez 15 Jun '03

15 Jun '03

Hello to all. Today I successfully installed SuSE Linux 8.2 on my machine (formerly running only Win XP). Problem: after selecting "windows" in the boot screen, I get the following message and does NOT load Win XP. "root (hd1,0) Filesystem type is fat, partition type 0xc chainloader +1" FYI. My drive configuration prior to SuSE Linux installation was as follows: The HD housing Windows XP was my PRIMARY/MASTER (/hda) My CD-Writer was the PRIMARY/SLAVE drive (/hdb) My CD-ROM drive was the SECONDARY/MASTER HD (/hdc) I made changes prior to the SuSE Linux installation, as follows: My NEW Hard Drive for Linux was now the PRIMARY/MASTER (/hda) The HD housing Windows XP was my PRIMARY/SLAVE (/hdb) My CD-ROM drive was the SECONDARY/MASTER (/hdc) My CD-Writer was the SECONDARY/SLAVE (/hdd) Your help is greatly appreciated! -- Daly

Windoze permissions
by Mike Roy 15 Jun '03

15 Jun '03

Hello everyone: I'm currently running SuSE 8.1 on one partition and Windoze on another (same hard drive). I have Wordperfect 8.0 installed on both operating systems. At the moment, under Linux, I can open and read a Wordperfect file from the Windoze drive. However, if I modify it, I have to save it under a different file name. What I would like to do is to be able to access and modify the Wordperfect files on the Windoze drive while I'm in Linux but without the need to save the file under a different name. Someone suggested modifying the fstab file to give me complete permissions to these files. The setting for the Windoze drive (/dev/hda1 - vfat file type) is: 'defaults' . Should I set the fstab settings for the Windoze drive to: 'ro, noauto, user, exec'? Or, if this is not correct, what is the correct setting? Any help greatly appreciated. Cheers, Mike

LAN team says I have 2 IP's w/1 MAC address, but I have 2 cables with 2 separate IP's. What gives?
by Hulslander, Ryan 15 Jun '03

15 Jun '03

I'm really, REALLY hoping someone can shed some light on this. I posted something similar about this but I got more confusing info from my LAN people. The hardware is a Soyo K-333 Dragon MB running SuSE 8.0 w/Apache2 as well as Samba. I have 2 NIC's, the onboard NIC and a D-Link 530TX+ card. I have two IP addresses, 155.16.78.54 & .55 on eth0 I get lots of collisions, errors, etc., and barely any traffic on eth1. I have one "site.net" address and one site.com" address, both configured as virtual hosts in Apache. The problem I have is that both NIC's seem to be set at 10MB half-duplex, and mii-tool won't get them to negotiate to 100 full-duplex, nor will it force it. The LAN team says it sees both cables coming in to the switch, and that both IP's are being seen as the same MAC address?! (I pasted their exact comments to me below) The performance isn't really noticeable for Apache until I tried to turn on Samba, and then it just about craters it. Here's the dump of the ifconfig: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:05:5D:D0:29:80 inet addr:155.16.78.54 Bcast:155.16.78.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::205:5dff:fed0:2980/10 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:23619268 errors:1053 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:3752750 errors:380508 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:761016 collisions:105122 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:1116970680 (1065.2 Mb) TX bytes:2828485063 (2697.4 Mb) Interrupt:10 Base address:0x2000 eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:50:2C:04:DA:D5 inet addr:155.16.78.53 Bcast:155.16.78.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::250:2cff:fe04:dad5/10 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:20789796 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:504 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:411341177 (392.2 Mb) TX bytes:30288 (29.5 Kb) Interrupt:11 Base address:0x4000 The modules.conf file load "8139too" driver for both interfaces, and the mii-tool reports on both: forum:/etc # mii-tool eth0 eth0: 10 Mbit, half duplex, no link forum:/etc # mii-tool eth1 eth1: 10 Mbit, half duplex, no link No amount of trying to force the eth0 or eth1 interfaces to 100MB work. The comments I got from the LAN guy was: ------------- After clearing the IP ARP tables on both routers there is something really strange going on, see information below. The r4-pscptc4 router is the gateway router 155.16.78.1. r3-pscptc3#sh ip arp 155.16.78.54 Protocol Address Age (min) Hardware Addr Type Interface Internet 155.16.78.54 0 0005.5dd0.2980 ARPA Vlan78 r3-pscptc3#sh ip arp 155.16.78.53 Protocol Address Age (min) Hardware Addr Type Interface Internet 155.16.78.53 0 0005.5dd0.2980 ARPA Vlan78 r4-pscptc4#sh ip arp 155.16.78.53 Protocol Address Age (min) Hardware Addr Type Interface Internet 155.16.78.53 1 0050.2c04.dad5 ARPA Vlan78 r4-pscptc4#sh ip arp 155.16.78.54 Protocol Address Age (min) Hardware Addr Type Interface Internet 155.16.78.54 1 0005.5dd0.2980 ARPA Vlan78 The bottom line of the above information is even after clearing both routers ARP tables (twice) the r3-pscptc3 router is still seeing both IP addresses as the same MAC address. Routers don't just show this type of behavior for any reason. The MAC address 00-50-2c-04-da-d5 for 155.16.78.53 is not even known to the CAM table on either switch (s3 or s4). As a suggestion I would check with the OS vendor to see if there are any known issues. ------------ I'm clueless. I've pulled up some docs regarding similar situations and it talks about "iptables" or some such. Is there some kind of mapping someplace to make sure the right NIC responds to the right IP's, etc., so my website and Samba can start working right? Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!

Dial on Demand with smpppd

Hi all I am having problems with dial on demand with SuSE 8.2 and smpppd. I set the modem provider to dial on demand but this does not happen, I have to start the connection manually. What is the correct way of getting this working & does anyone have any info on smpppd that is better than the limited man files?
