DRBD problems on SuSE 9.1 Pro
by Jason Joines 21 Oct '04

21 Oct '04

I'm trying to get DRBD running between two SuSE 9.1 boxes. I have kernel 2.6.5, drbd 0.7-pre8 (api:74/proto:72), drbdsetup 0.7-pre5 (api:72) and drbdadm 0.7-pre5 (api:72). All installed from SuSE RPMS kernel-default-2.6.5-7.108, drbd-0.7.0-54, the latest via YaST and YOU yesterday. The first thing I discovered is that the sample drbd.conf file included with the drbd package is for version 0.6 and gives you errors about invalid parameters right away. The sample in the man page for drbd.conf also says it is for 0.6. I got the following from the drbd website that said it was good for 0.7 and just replaced the disk and adress parameters with my own. I have this /etc/drbd.conf: resource drbd0 { protocol C; incon-degr-cmd "halt -f"; on heartbeata { device /dev/nb0; disk /dev/hda3; address 172.17.0.1:7789; } on heartbeatb { device /dev/nb0; disk /dev/hda3; address 172.17.0.2:7789; } } When I run "drbdadm -d up all" or "/etc/init.d/drbd start" I get: "/etc/drbd.conf:3: syntax error". If I comment out line 3, I still get the same error. Any ideas? Jason Joines =================================

double messages
by Doug McGarrett 21 Oct '04

21 Oct '04

I am receiving a fairly high percentages of double messages recently--in the past 2 weeks or so--from the same sender, separated by anywhere from 2 to 6 minutes or so. I would guess about 5 percent, without actually counting. Maybe higher, certainly not less. Can something be wrong, and if so, can something be done to fix it? (I know that the list is not the place to post this, but I don't know where else, and surely SuSErs read the list.) --doug

No Windows Media 9 Plugin
by Paul 21 Oct '04

21 Oct '04

Hi there on the list I have a problem with all of my internet browsers. Whenever I try to watch a video stream I get the message "WINDOWS MEDIA TEST We have detected your browser does not have the required Windows Media 9 plug-in to play this video. Click here to download the plug-in. Help" Every thing worked fine before I had the wunderfull idea to install Netscape !! I have since then removed Netscape (deleted File)reinstalled plugins and numerous other things (should have documented!) Any way to get this working again without a complete reinstall (For that I could have stayed with Windows) Second question is it possible this list as a digest version ? Thanks in advance Paul Ryan Paul_Ryan(a)gmx.net

Complete system backup and restore procedure questions
by steve 21 Oct '04

21 Oct '04

Hello:-) How can I backup my existing Suse 9.1 laptop distribution and restore it on a different computer? Please be specific. I have tared up each directory except /proc.

Please suggest a program, procedure, etc. I have only a dvd burner and on 35% disk space left on the drive. Steve

(I got a warning message that this would happen (i think)) - then it went to try and find updated versions but could not. As all the extensions are disabled i do not think the update button will work. I think you will need to manually reinstall all your extensions Tim

Cannot login to XDM after install ...
by e-head 21 Oct '04

21 Oct '04

I can't login to xdm after doing an install. I think this may be because i decided to use md5 passwords instead of DES passwords. Can anyone verify this ? I changed the password encryption option in YAST, but I'm not sure if it converts the existing passwords or not. If not, anyone know of an easy way to convert ? Would simply changing my passwords with "passwd" be sufficient you think ? Any other ideas ? I can login fine from the console ... and indeed I can even startx fine from a console session, if i have stopped kdm. cheers, e p.s. anyone know how the suse bootup screen displays the neat green trim and stuff ? you know when all the messages roll by after you have picked your kernl in grub ... is that a kernel patch ? or a grub patch or something ? i have a debian box i would like to get that to work on.

I got a message from the following address: Dave Lists <lists(a)www.buy-stockings.com>, suse-linux-e(a)suse.com, suse-linux-e-sc.1098304829.iliegnalfmipekmlgpjj-lists=www.buy-stockings.com@ suse.com I think there should be some way that SuSE can prevent this from ahppening, but I don't know whom to contact. This guy has obviously penetrated the suse-linux-e system. I am certainly not in the market for stockings, being a 67 year old man with no wife or girl-friend. --doug
