Routing problem
by Paul Ollion 25 Oct '04

25 Oct '04

Hello list I have a new laptop and I would connect it to my main machine to exchange files.But I cannot configure a valid route and only get this : /sbin/route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface localhost * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 lo loopback * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo # ifup route ifup [DEBUG] route ifup [DEBUG] HWDESC = route CONFIG = INTERFACE = route ifup route ifup ERROR: No configuration found for route It must not be a hardware problem as the two machines can ping each other through their hostnames or IPv4 addresses. I made /etc/sysconfig/network/routes files which does not seem to be accepted this is the one of my main machine with its own address then that of the laptop 127.0.0.1 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 lo 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 eth-id-00:04:75:7f:38:25 192.168.0.3 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 eth-id-00:c0:9f:43:bd:d3 I have a similar one on my laptop I am not at all a network expert i just installed one long ago with SuSE 7.1, but things seem to have much changed I must be missing something obvious Could you help me ? -- ________________ Paul Ollion Proud Linux user - SuSE - 9.1

Syslog.conf and "icmp v4 hw csum failure" messages
by Mohr James 25 Oct '04

25 Oct '04

Hi All! I must be blind, but I cannot figure out what I am getting messages like this: Oct 22 15:10:08 co-app-11 kernel: icmp v4 hw csum failure I googled and found a few references that said to disable checking in the respective kernel module. So far, so good. The problem is that is all started when I made a change to /etc/syslog.conf. I wanted to write all of the non-error cron entries in seperate file. The difference between the two looks like this: co-app-11:/etc # diff syslog.conf.new syslog.conf 4a5 > 43c44 < *.*;cron.none;mail.none;news.none -/var/log/messages --- > *.*;mail.none;news.none -/var/log/messages 59,61d59 < < cron.* -/var/log/cron < cron.err -/var/log/messages Where syslog.conf.new is the file that I created last week. I can see the messages file from Wednesday and like a switch, the cron entries stopped being written to /var/log/messages and the "csum failure" messages started. This morning I switched it back to the way it was, restarte syslogd and like a switch the cron entries started and the "csum failure" entries stopped. However, I cannot explain this from the syslog.conf file. Any help is greatly appreaciated. James Mohr

Have any of you out there seen something like this available in europe and do you have any idea how much such a cute thing would cost: A list http://www.zippy.com.tw/P_PRODUCT_LIST.asp?pcp_rfnbr=10&pcp_name=N%2b1%20Re… One specific: 1300W http://www.zippy.com.tw/P_product_detail.asp?lv_rfnbr=2&pp_rfnbr=1155&pcp_r… I think this one would make most sense ;-) 1000W http://www.zippy.com.tw/P_product_detail.asp?lv_rfnbr=2&pp_rfnbr=1154&pcp_r…

Fw: [SLE] Install Problem #2 - portmapper and other services
by Ted Hilts 25 Oct '04

25 Oct '04

[SLE] List: Forwarding progress of Install Problem #2 (re: portmap) because the attached log file is almost 24k and will get rejected. Anders I set RUN_Parallel in /etc/sysconfig/boot to "no" (it was set to yes with no surrounding apostrophes).Result was some differences to the log file so I am mailing you the new log file as an attachment. I appreciate the effort you are making to help sort out these install problems. Just a guess -- because of the several references to port 139 -- could there be some unintalled or misconfigured tcp/udp module causing first portmap and then these other services to fail after first starting?

Rebuilding kernel
by Paul Hewlett 25 Oct '04

25 Oct '04

This is my first posting on this list. SuSE 9.1 Pro - kernel = 2.6.5-7.111 I am trying to rebuild my kernel by doing the following : a. cd /usr/src/linux b. make mrproper c. make cloneconfig d. edit '.config' and change CONFIG_CFGNAME to "optimal" e. make xconfig f. make g. make install h. make modules_install At this point I find the the directory /lib/modules/2.6.5-7.11-optimal/kernel has no files. I therefore cannot execute the next command 'mkinitrd'. The problem is step (d) above. I change this so that the original default kernel is left intact. If I do not do step (d) then the make process completes successfully except that the initrd file generated is faulty. are there any workarounds ?

I downloaded the KDE version from distrowatch, burned it to cdrw with k3b and it will not boot, not even from the safe option. It gets so far and dies with all sorts of errors. Has anybody got it to work yet ? Mike

Resetting Environmental Variables
by Dom Incollingo 24 Oct '04

24 Oct '04

Hello, I often update the environmental variables (such as PATH, CLASSPATH, JAVA_HOME, TOMCAT_HOME, etc.) in my .profile when I install new software. But in order for the new values to take effect, I log out of my x session (gnome in my case), and then log back in. Is there any way for the new values of environmental variables to take effect without logging out and back in? Thanks very much. Dom
