Samba profile going nuts!
by js 28 Sep '03

28 Sep '03

I finally got my domain logons to work. Now, my logons take forever using roaming profiles. The XP box does what seems like a complete resync with the samba pdc. How do I restrict what info is sycronized at logon so it doesn't take so long? JS

Re: [SLE] Why Very Slow DNS on 8.2, But Not on WinXP?

I found the same problem with Mozilla-family browsers using 8.2. Extensive googling finally turned up http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=70213 and http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=135724#c24. Briefly 1) these browsers lack reentrant/async DNS lookup, so a site that requires multiple DNS lookups (perhaps for ads) won't load until each has returned. 2) Suse 8.2 specifically turns on IPv6, and some servers can't cope with these requests. You don't say which cache you used, but I suggest you try Squid, which caches (inter alia) the DNS information. For me, this makes mozilla-based browsers like Firebird work as fast as IE. As far as I recall, I just installed it as it came, without any configuration (though you do have to tell your browser to use it as a proxy, localhost port 3128, and you may have to adjust your firewall). The other solution is to use Opera, which worked at full speed on my system. Perhaps worth trying, just to prove that this *is* the problem, though the choice of ads or cash made me go for the first method. Hope this helps. David Hart

Package update cache in /var/lib
by Dave Smith 28 Sep '03

28 Sep '03

Hi all. I have a minor problem with my SuSE 8.0 installation - I've run out of space on /var. A quick look shows that over half the partition is being taken up by RPM files in /var/lib/YaST (IIRC) - I guess downloaded by YOU. Is it OK for me to delete these files? I'll be upgrading to a 9.0 fresh install when it comes out, so I don't necessarily need to think very long-term.

Wireless
by Erik Jakobsen 28 Sep '03

28 Sep '03

Hi. I have just installed SuSE 8.2 on my Fujitsu/Siemens C6155 Lifebook. As I have a D-Link DWL-610 wireless pcmciacard, I was searching the SDB for the subject wireless, and found something that could be used. With reference to the article, I did start up a tail -f /var/log/messages, and plugged in the wireless card into my Lifebook. The message was: Sep 28 10:24:33 linux /etc/hotplug/pci.agent[1700]: ... no modules for PCI slot 06:00.0 Then, what does the fellow do now. As I dont know what module is being used, its useless to run a lsmod module or ?. Well maybe its the message for the pcmcia cardslot ?. Then its an IBM I can remember in the shadows. -- Med venlig hilsen - Best regards. Erik Jakobsen - eja(a)urbakken.dk. Licensed radioamateur with the callsign OZ4KK. SuSE Linux 8.2 Proff.

how to make devel package from tar.gz source file
by eddie 28 Sep '03

Can anyone explain "simply" how to produce a devel rpm package from a tar.gz source file? (assuming that you did not create the source file in the first place). Is there any "simple" documentation that explains how to do this? Thanks much. Eddie

Hi. We just installed a 3 disk setup with a hardware raid controller. Yast detected it and the box is working fine. How do I check the raid array? I see we have a new device /dev/md0 SuSE 8.2 Thanks, Steve.
