creating CD's from the SuSE 9.1 DVD
by Brian Jackson 08 Oct '04

08 Oct '04

Hi- I have the SuSE 9.1 pro DVD from the Novel Technical Resource kit, but I need to install it on 3 systems that DO NOT have a DVD reader, they only have CD-ROM's Is there way to build CD's from the DVD? I mean I can always get the personal ISO and install that and then just tack on an assload of rpm's, but I'd rather figure out how to break the DVD into individual CD's. thanks, brian -- Brian Jackson Photo Sports ~ Editorial ~ People ~ Travel ~ Events http://www.BrianJacksonPhoto.com 650-218-5082

When I try to connect in Knoda or mysqlcc I get the following message: [@localhost:3306] ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I don't know anything about databases , so if you need more info please feel free to ask. I want to set up a database for a couple of hundred products with the following info like: product number , price, min and max stock and other things I cannot think of it now.

problems with YOU behind a Win Gateway
by Tommaso Vanni 08 Oct '04

08 Oct '04

Hi all, i have a little problem with YOU: when I try to verify the presence of new updates using Suse Watcher or I directly try to find them, I receive an error error Connect failed This is the situation: I have 2 pc, a desktop using WinXp and a notebook using Suse 9.1 (kernel 2.6). The desktop pc is configured to be a gateway for other computers, trough ethernet connection, due of his ADSL connection; notebook uses this gateway to surf the internet. I can't use my ADSL modem on linux because it's not compatible (usb model send me by Telecom Italia, only a few people, about 10-15, in Italy made it working on Linux, especially on Debian with 2.4.x kernel), so I have to surf trough the gateway ore directly with a 56k dial up connection from the winmodem of the notebook. Some days ago I want to get the notebook updated, I wasn't home so I used the 56k connection, so I got the update list: about 150Mb! Can't do this with 56k... Back at home, I started the desktop pc, connected the notebook and started YOU. Immediately I got that error. Now the question is: is there something special that has to be configured (except proxy settings that are ok, because i can surf using Firefox without problems) to make YOU work behind a Gateway? It gave me the same problem using a Linux gateway: can surf, but can't use YOU. Thanks for every answer

Mozilla and spellcheck
by Gary Hodges 08 Oct '04

08 Oct '04

SuSE Pro 9.0 The spellcheck feature with Mozilla has been broke with the past couple/few mozilla updates. If I reinstall the original version spellcheck works, but not with the most recent updates. I've tried uninstalling first, reloading with YOU, installing from the rpms and maybe other things too. Any suggestions on what I need to do to get spellcheck to work?

D-Link DFE-690TXD CardBus PC Card
by danu kusmana 08 Oct '04

08 Oct '04

Hi I've just install suse 9.1 professional ed. My only problem is using D-Link DFE-690TXD CardBus PC Card fast ethernet to connect to my LAN. I use Toshiba Tecra 8000 & everything is installed perfectly except working on this PCMCIA. Suse detected this card & the light on the card is on, but it cannot be use. When I tried ifconfig eth0 up is always said that: SIOCSIFFLAGS: Device or Resource busy. I tried what the document suggested to plug it until all the system runs, but this problem still occured. I check in the /proc directories but it seems everything ok. What configuration I should do & what log file I should take a look to see what is the problem when the cardctl insert or reject the pcmcia?

After all, it often doesn't make sense to specify a fixed work path for a general file type association, and in my special case of executable jar files it's almost always necessary to switch to the directory where the jar file is located. > One workaround would be to create a shell wrapper that takes a parameter to > set the working directory and does a cd to it before launching the > application, then you could run that wrapper using the %d macro in kde's > exec line Thanks once more for this suggestion, I will give it a try. I also can simply create a shortcut for this specific app on the desktop, where I then can specify the rspective work path. I just wished I could launch the app from within Konqueror. -- Andreas Philipp Noema Ltda. Bogotá, D.C. - Colombia

Kernel panic - RAID/Reiserfs issue
by Nicholas Moir 07 Oct '04

07 Oct '04

I am trying to build kernel 2.4.24 on Suse 9.0. The box has Highpoint software RAID (hptraid.o) and / should be mounted on /dev/ataraid/d0p2. I have used the stock 2.4.21-243 kernel as a starting point (because it boots!) and have included support for reiserfs, Software RAID, and NVIDIA IDE interfaces. The exact error messages I receive on boot are: reiserfs:checking transaction log (device ataraid(114,2)) node level 0 does not match to the expected one ataraid(114,2):vs_5150:search_by_key:invalid format found in block.Fsck? ataraid(114,2):vs_13070:reiserfs_read_inode:i/o failure occurred trying to find stat data of [1 2 0x0 50] ataraid(114,2):Using r5 hash to sort names VFS:Cannot open root device "ataraid /d0p2" Please append a correct "root=" boot option kernel panic:VFS:Unable to mount root fs The reiserfs filesystem isn't corrupt as it boots perfectly well using kernel 2.4.21-243, which seems strange as I have used this kernel's .config as a base for the new one. Any ideas? I can't think of anything else that needs to be included in the kernel .config to make this work. Thanks. -- Nicholas Moir

RE: [SLE] Samba + LDAP on SLES 9?
by Patrick Webster 07 Oct '04

07 Oct '04

Just to jump into the conversation :) I'd also like to run Samba with an LDAP backend (Domino) on SLES 9. It sounds like this issue would also affect such an installation..? It works on SLES 8. Additionally, is it not possible to setup NIS to use LDAP and configure Samba to use local authentication? I'll be finding out soon enough, but it's best to ask before upgrading $50k production servers :) TIA, -Patrick
