9.2 Error inserting ipfwadm
by steve-ss 28 Nov '04

28 Nov '04

On booting I get this error: modprobe: WARNING: Error inserting ipfwadm (/lib/modules/2.6.8-24-default/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ipfwadm.ko): Device or resource busy Does this mean my firewall (SuSEfirewall2) isn't working properly? Cheers, Steve.

Burnner question..
by James Hatridge 28 Nov '04

28 Nov '04

Hi all... OK, I have an old SCSI cd burner. SuSE 9.2 see it as /dev/sr0 and lists it as /media/cdrom2. I can read a cd with it, no problem. BUT k3b can not find it either as user or root. It worked fine under 9.1 and older. Any ideas?

Hello, I bought today an external modem (US Robotics). I installed it, configured it with YaST, starting kinternet and then nothing. The modem call my ISP but hangup. It seems pppd can't load a library called libpasswdfd.so then exits. I'm using a 9.1 perso distro. Is someone has the solution ?

[SLE] Package install error kernel_default_nongpl-2.6.8
by zendog 28 Nov '04

28 Nov '04

Just going through a 9.2 install and had a problem with package kernel_default_nongpl-2.6.8 installing. Consistantly getting package failed error messages so I ended up doing an abort and everything seems fine. Wondering is anyone else has seen this or if anyone knows if this package is needed at all with a standard install. ------------------------------------------------------------------- zendog zendog at sinhexlabs dot net

SuSE 9.1 Error: No hard drive! (Installation problem) South Bridge Chipset: SIS964 Hard Drive: 160GB SATA What can I do? Can a driver be introduced? If SuSE is incompatible with this controller, does someone know a compatible distribution (e.g. Mandrake or Fedora)?

K3b setup issues
by Peter B Van Campen 28 Nov '04

28 Nov '04

Hi Folks, During the setup of K3b on SUSE 9.2 it issued a msg box stating: "System Configuration Problems cdrecord does not run with root privileges It is highly recommended to configure cdrecord to run with root privileges. Only then cdrecord runs with high priority which increases the overall stability of the burning process. Apart from that it allows changing the size of the used burning buffer. A lot of user problems could be solved this way. This is also true when using SuSE's resmgr. Solution: Use K3bSetup to solve this problem. cdrdao does not run with root privileges It is highly recommended to configure cdrdao to run with root privileges to increase the overall stability of the burning process. Solution: Use K3bSetup to solve this problem." Well it seems that there is no "K3bSetup" anymore! Here is what I found by Googling around a bit: http://www.bright-ideas-tx.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?p=23&sid=731e31a28914f74… "Login as 'root' and set UID for 'cdrecord' and 'cdrdao'. Linux oldtimers know how to do this from a command line. Linux newcomers may feel more comfortable doing this from within their KDE GUI. Here's how: 1. Logout and log back in as 'root'. 2. Open your Konqueror File Manager and browse to: /usr/bin/cdrecord 3. Right-click on file 'cdrecord' and select 'Properties'. 4. Select the 'Permissions' tab. 5. Click the 'Advanced Permissions' button. 6. Put a checkmark in the 'Set UID' checkbox in the 'User' row. 7. Click the 'Ok' button on each panel as you back out. 8. Repeat this process for the '/usr/bin/cdrdao' file. 9. Logout and log back into your regular user account. Now when you start K3b you won't get those errors and you can have fun burning CDs again. " Said Thomas of Kerrville Tx But once that was done I encountered the show stoper: I set up a straight CD to CDR copy using 2 drives and no matter what speed I choose inc 1X the copy fails. Here is the debug output: "System ----------------------- K3b Version:0.11.15cvs KDE Version: 3.3.0 QT Version: 3.3.3 cdrecord ----------------------- /usr/bin/cdrecord: Resource temporarily unavailable. Cannot get mmap for 4198400 Bytes on /dev/zero.

Note: Please send bug reports or support requests to http://www.suse.de/feedback Note: The author of cdrecord should not be bothered with problems in this version.

Now what can/should I do next? It seems that SUSE has modified cdrecord and is looking for user experiances. Note that debug info speaks of "/dev/zero" which baffles me. This is an ATAPI drive. Do we still need scsi emulation? PeterB

SuSE Watcher (SuSE 9.0) troubles - cannot check for updates
by Frederic Durodie 28 Nov '04

28 Nov '04

hello Folks, I'm having trouble with the SuSE Watcher (SuSE 9.0) who complains it cannot check for updates. YOU Check Log - SuSE Watcher reports (I put returns in the single long line starting with "Error while ..." : online_update -k -s Error while requesting servers: ERROR(You:Error getting youservers file.): HTTP return code: 404 (URL: http://www.suse.de/cgi-bin/ suseservers.cgi?product=SuSE%20 Linux&version=9.0&basearch=i386&arch=i686&lang=de&business=0&check=1& distproduct=SuSE-Linux-FTP-i386-9.0-0&yast2-online-update=2.8.8-71& yast2-packagemanager=2.8.36-1&liby2util=2.8.16-2&timezone=Europe/Brussels) in YAST Online Update I get a "Warning Cannot fetch remote sever list. Only user-defined patch sources will be available. Possible solution: Check network connection." and in a little scrollable window below (again I put returs in a single long line starting "suseservers.cgi ...") : URL: http://www.suse.de/cgi-bin/suseservers.cgi HTTP return code: 404 (URL: http://www.suse.de/cgi-bin/ suseservers.cgi?product=SuSE%20 Linux&version=9.0&basearch=i386&arch=i686&lang=en_US&business=0&check=0& distproduct=SuSE-Linux-FTP-i386-9.0-0&yast2-online-update=2.8.8-71&yast2-packagemanager=2.8.36-1& liby2util=2.8.16-2&timezone=Europe/Brussels) However if I copy/paste "http://www.suse.de ... Europe/Brussels" in a webbrowser I get : http://ftp.uni-kl.de/pub/linux/suse;Germany: University Kaiserslautern (http) http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/suse;Germany: GWD GÃ¶ttingen (http) ftp://ftp.leo.org/pub/comp/os/unix/linux/suse/suse;Germany: LEO Munich (ftp) ftp://ftp.uni-kl.de/pub/linux/suse;Germany: University Kaiserslautern (ftp) ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/suse;Germany: GWD GÃ¶ttingen (ftp) ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse;Germany: SUSE LINUX AG ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/Linux/distributions/suse/suse;Sweden: SUNET ftp://ftp.rz.uni-ulm.de/pub/mirrors/suse;Germany: University Ulm ftp://gd.tuwien.ac.at/linux/suse.com/suse;Austria: Vienna University of Technology ftp://ftp.suselinux.hu/pub/suse;Hungary: suselinux.hu ftp://fr.rpmfind.net/linux/SuSE-Linux;France: Rpmfind.Net So, my network seems to work. If I then "Ignore" the YAST Online Update message and manually put e.g. ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse in the Location all seems to work correctly. Any ideas on what is happening ? Kind regards, Frederic
