kermit freezes
by João Reis 28 Jan '04

28 Jan '04

Hi to all, I am trying to communicate with my Nokia mobile phone with the kermit command and placed the following commands: linux# kermit C-Kermit 6.0.192, 6 Sep 96, for Linux Copyright (C) 1985, 1996, Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York. Default file-transfer mode is BINARY Type ? or HELP for help. C-Kermit>set line /dev/ttyS3 C-Kermit>set carrier-watch off C-Kermit>set speed 115200 /dev/ttyS3, 115200 bps C-Kermit>c Connecting to /dev/ttyS3, speed 115200. The escape character is Ctrl-\ (ASCII 28, FS) Type the escape character followed by C to get back, or followed by ? to see other options. And it hang . I could not put any command after and no response was seen. The only way to leave the process was killing it! What that means? The cable line is not well? The mobile phone does not responds ? Or there is something with the linux configuration? Thanks to all in advance Joao Reis

Once the partitions are setup and formatted to ext3, boot from a rescue disc and use the command: e2fsck -c -f <device> > What about swap partition, with which tools I manage bad blocks on my > swap file system/partition? Delete the partition, recreating it and run: mkswap -c <device> Charles -- lp1 on fire (One of the more obfuscated kernel messages)

no ipv6 router ?
by Jason Kim 28 Jan '04

28 Jan '04

I have SuSE 8.2 installed on my desktop. I can't get any network access. It keep configure the only ipv6 address. (I dont want that.. How can I remove that module? ) If I remove the IPv6 module, will that solve the problem? Currently I am using several machins (redhat) with my DHCP server correctly.. of course in IPv4 only network.. Log files show "no IPv6 routers present". I don't know why it would be trying to use IPv6.... If I try to ping, even my router, I get "network is unreachable". Any ideas? Jason

Shorewall and NIS/ypbind problem
by Andrei Verovski 28 Jan '04

28 Jan '04

Hi, I am sorry to disturb you. I've got your e-mails from Shorewall mailing list. I have problem - Linux pc (at 192.168.0.1 + external ip) which runs 2-interface shorewall (along with mail/web/ftp), cannot connect to YP NIS server running on internal network (192.168.0.11). ypbind requires portmapper (tcp/udp 111), ypbind itself uses randomly selected ports in range 600-900 (you can obtain them through "rpcinfo -p localhost"), I have opened ALL tcp/udp ports from loc to fw, however, ypbind client still cannot communicate with the server (even if I am explicitly specify NIS server IP). Any idea how to solve this problem? Thanks in advance for any suggestion(s) ********************************************* * Best Regards --- Andrei Verovski * * Personal Home Page * http://snow.prohosting.com/guru4mac/ * Mac, Linux, DTP, Development, IT WEB Site *********************************************

It just took three minutes for my ida1 desktop icon to appear after I plugged my Sony camera into the usb port and turned it on. If I open /media/sda1 in a window before the icon shows up the window is empty. Is this slowness normal for a Sony camera usb connection? Can I do anything to speed this up? Thanks, Jerome

Can't burn CDs :-(
by Trey Sizemore 28 Jan '04

28 Jan '04

Having some issues with burning CDs with my SUSE 9.0 install. I'm using the k3b (0.10-3) and tried cdbakeoven as well. Getting error messages like "unknown error" and "can't fixate disk". I've checked the md5 sum for the iso file and it's good, the CD-RW drive is recognized and I've tried burning as both a normal user and root (to see if it made a difference...it didn't :-( ) Had Mandrake 9.0 installed before this and had no problems with any of the GUI burners. Here's my /etc/fstab: /dev/hde2 / reiserfs defaults 1 1 /dev/hde1 /boot ext2 defaults 1 2 /dev/hde3 /home reiserfs defaults 1 2 /dev/hde4 swap swap pri=42 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 usbdevfs /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs noauto 0 0 /dev/sda4 /media/zip auto noauto,user 0 0 /dev/cdrecorder /media/cdrecorder auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 /dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto noauto,user,sync 0 0 /dev/sda4 /media/sda4 auto sync,noauto,user,exec 0 0 #HOTPLUG B3Fu.lMyX_ErKxt6 Maybe I could try burning from the iso from the command line. Either way, I'd like to get this sorted out and any help is appreciated. Thanks. -- Cheers, Trey --- Do not seek death; death will find you.
