Customizing your KDM icon
by Stephen Boulet 24 Oct '04

24 Oct '04

How do I get a custom icon to show up in the KDM screen? Changing the icon in the kde control center's password and user account doesn't do it. -- Stephen If your desktop gets out of control easily, you probably have too much stuff on it that doesn't need to be there.

ip-up trigger for any interface?
by Johnny Ernst Nielsen 24 Oct '04

24 Oct '04

Good day, SUSE 9.0 Is there a place where I can put a script to be executed whenever any interface connects to the internet? Like /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/ is the place for ppp0 connections, only somewhere that works for both eth0 and ppp0 (and possibly for other interfaces). I have tried fumbeling with /etc/sysconfig/network/if-up.d/, but that does not work for ppp0 I have tried making /etc/sysconfig/network/ip-up.d/ (not iF-up) and putting a script there, but then nothing happens for any interface. Best regards Johnny :o)

Suse 9.1, A7N8X Deluxe and SATA drive: can't install
by carlosparamio＠ono.com 24 Oct '04

24 Oct '04

Hi, I'm trying to install Suse Linux 9.1 on a PC with a A7N8X2.0 Deluxe mainboard, and a Seagate ST380023AS SATA drive. Actually, there is two modules in the linux kernel to manage this type of controller: One of them, CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SIIMAGE, recognize all SATA drives as IDE drives (hde, hdg); the other, CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_SIL, uses it as a SCSI drive. It seems that, when using the first one, the drive doesn't recognize some commands sent by the controller (some about dma). I tried to disable DMA mode for IDE, but the problem persists. With kernel 2.4.x, this module worked well (but with slow access to disk). With kernel 2.6.x, this module simply doesn't work for my mobo+hd combination. And it's no possible to configure the BIOS to force PATA compatibility mode. Is it possible to say to the installation procedure that don't use the first module, and instead it uses the second one? With the scsi module, I have no problems on other distributions (like Ubuntu). The drive is recognized as /dev/sda, and all access to disk work well. I recommend that, in future releases, you use the sata_sil module to manage SiImage controllers. The IDE one is deprecated. Thanks a lot! -- Carlos A.

shutdown -h now doesn't turn off the computer
by Bertrand GHISDAL 24 Oct '04

24 Oct '04

Hi, I recently installed LINUX 9.1 professional on an extended partition. After the install, everything was working fine until I decided to upgrade my system as suggested by YOU. Now, when I turn off the computer, it doesn't turn off automatically so I have to press the power button to shut it down. After a shutdown -h or, via a standard shutdown from KDE interface, the system deactivates all the services and when it reaches level 0, doesn't do anything. Any file I have to change or something? Thank you for your answer. FYI, my actual kernel is: Linux version 2.6.5-7.108-default (geeko@buildhost) (gcc version 3.3.3 (SuSE Linux)) #1 Wed Aug 25 13:34:40 UTC 2004 and ACPI is on: ACPI: (supports S0 S1 S3 S4 S5) Bertrand --------------------------------- Créez gratuitement votre Yahoo!

[SLE] -- Install Problem #1 -- 3c509 -- 9.1 Pro -- also Win98
by Ted Hilts 24 Oct '04

24 Oct '04

The 3c509 network card is declared during system boot up to be "not yet active" and "no interface found". I followed the instructions in section 13.4 (Network Integration - Admin Guide) using YAST. Everything OK with the card operation in the rest of my session. However, when rebooting, again the same problem. I have done this many times and cannot figure out what YAST should have done in the way of file set up but didn't. [using inetd]

Configuring CUPS for remote printers
by James Knott 24 Oct '04

24 Oct '04

I'm trying to use CUPS, to print from my notebook computer (SuSE 9.1), via VPN to a printer connected to my desktop system (SuSE 9.0). However, I don't seem to get indication from CUPS on the desktop system, that it's receiving the print jobs. I believe there's a setting in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf, that allows CUPS to only work with local printers, but I'm not sure what it would be. I can print from the notebook, when it's plugged into the same LAN as the desktop system. Any ideas? tnx jk
