New apache 1.3.28 for SuSE 8.2 and mod_php4 problem
by Guillermo Ballester Valor 08 Sep '03

08 Sep '03

Hi, There is a new rpm package for Apache 1.3.28 in suse-people apt-get repository. The problem here is it requires to uninstall mod-php4 package to upgrade apache. I'm afraid it will disable all embebed php4 scripting. Do you know whether this package is now included into mod-php-core? Is it a bug in packaging? Thanks.

Intermittent unability to start PCMCIA at boot
by Jan Elders 08 Sep '03

08 Sep '03

Hello, During boot of my SuSE 8.2 on a laptop it is sometimes not possible to start my PCMCIA wireless card. In /var/log/messages I see : ----------------- cardmgr[1124]: socket 0: SITECOM WL-011 Wireless Network PC Card cardmgr[1124]: executing: 'insmod -v /lib/modules/2.4.20-4GB//pcmcia/pcmf502r.o' cardmgr[1124]: + Using /lib/modules/2.4.20-4GB//pcmcia/pcmf502r.o cardmgr[1124]: + Symbol version prefix '' kernel: pcmf502r: RequestIRQ: Resource in use ---------------- I wonder "in use" by what ? When I subsequently do a reboot then sometimes the same thing happens again, and some other time all works well the second boot. If it works, I see in in /var/log/messages : ----------------- cardmgr[1124]: socket 0: SITECOM WL-011 Wireless Network PC Card cardmgr[1124]: executing: 'insmod -v /lib/modules/2.4.20-4GB//pcmcia/pcmf502r.o' cardmgr[1124]: + Using /lib/modules/2.4.20-4GB//pcmcia/pcmf502r.o cardmgr[1124]: + Symbol version prefix '' cardmgr[1124]: executing: './network start eth1' /etc/hotplug/net.agent[1135]: Interface eth1 is handled by service PCMCIA ... exiting ----------------- If it didn't work the second time, then the third reboot ALWAYS goes well ! So apparently after two or three times the IRQ blocking resource has evaporated. Please note, that many times the first boot is OK right away. Any ideas what is happening here and how to prevent this ? TIA and greetings, -- Jan Elders Nuenen the Netherlands

Suse 8.2 and Linmodem
by Mark Thomas 08 Sep '03

08 Sep '03

Hi everyone, I installed Suse 8.2 on my AMD Duron machine and it works like a charm except.. you guessed it. I have a Lucent modem. The chipset is Agere SV92p.I tried installing the driver that I found on www.heby.de but it didn't work. I have gotten the modem to work with Mandrake, so I'm thinking there is a way to get it working in Suse too. I'm a relative newbie to Linux so I was wondering if anyone has simple instructions for me to get this modem working on my machine. Thanks.

Netgear MA01RA wireless card setup in 8.2
by Zane Vandiver 07 Sep '03

07 Sep '03

I have been unable to get this card to work on my Compaq Presario 2170. I have followed the instructions from the support database article on this subject, and I have scoured this list and others looking for help. The card appears to be active, and gets an IP address from my router. I can ping the built-in ethernet card but not the router. I think the problem is in the mode setting, but changing it to anything except ad-hoc generates this error message: ERROR: command 'iwconfig eth1 mode automatic' returned Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) : SET failed on device eth1 ; Invalid argument. However, the card still gets an IP address from the router. Also, I cannot seem to turn off either card with the ifdown command. When I ifup again, the dhcp daemon assigns an IP address again, but the connection appears active without the ifup. Does anyone have any suggestions? Zane -- Zane Vandiver <zvan(a)sbcglobal.net>

Remote VNC Desktop Font Problem
by L. Mark Stone 04 Sep '03

04 Sep '03

We installed a new SuSE 8.2 machine as a web server, and enabled the remote desktop sharing feature to enable us to administer the machine remotely, graphically. When we open up a VNC session on a remote Windows machine, none of the Microsoft fonts we installed seem to be available on the SuSE machine. Checking in Control Center, the Microsoft fonts are indeed installed (and logging in at the SuSE machine's console also has the screen rendering the Microsoft fonts just fine). But no joy when connecting remotely. Our hope is that if we can get the Microsoft fonts to be available over a remote connection to a Windows machine, all text in the VNC session will render more clearly, with less jaggies, since it's the Windows machine doing the rendering. Thanks, Mark P.S. For those with a nose for security, please don't worry about us sending session information over the Internet in clear text. We use a SSH client (Putty) on the remote Windows machine to set up a "local forward". This enables us to have the VNC viewer connect to a display on the Windows workstation (X rendered locally), with all traffic between the SuSE web server and the remote Windows workstation taking place in an encrypted tunnel on the SuSE machine's port 22. All 59xx and 58xx ports on the SuSE machine are blocked by the firewall (actually all ports other than 80, 22 and the ntp ports are blocked by the firewall...). L.

problem starting up SuSE 8.1
by Frits Wüthrich 04 Sep '03

04 Sep '03

I was happily using my system, using either WindowsXP or SuSE 8.1, but I was so un-wise to make some changes to the system files through YAST2, and now I can't boot up to Linux anymore. It boots up with a few error messages like not able to set up the local loop, but then hangs on Samba waiting for CUPS to be ready. Is there a way I can skip this step, so I can start to correct my settings again? GRUB still works fine, and I also can boot up WinXP without a problem. Any help is welcome, I am not very advanced with Linux. Regards, Frits
