Burning DVDs Slows System Clock?
by Lucky Leavell 22 Nov '04

22 Nov '04

I just installed a new NEC ND-3500A DVD+RW burner in my SuSE 9.0 system (Dell 600SC with SCSI hard drive but IDE DVD) and ran a master backup using the LoneTAR backup software. After completing both backup and verify passes the system clock had lost about 1 hour 40 minutes! Later, I burned about 600Mb and 200Mb to CDs using k3b and lost about five minutes. Is this a known problem? Do I need to look into renicing the backup processes to prevent this? Thank you, Lucky Leavell

Services not starting due to DHCP ?
by Rod Rioux 22 Nov '04

22 Nov '04

I think that the delayed response from the dhcp server is causing my network related services to timeout/not find addresses (ie nfs mounts, nis, ntp, etc) When it boots up it complains that it cant find the servers .. but once the machine is up, if I start any of the services that failed during boot up, they all seem to work fine. Has anyone had something similar to this ? does anyone know if I can increase the timeout before it gives up on dhcp and continues to boot ? Btw this is sles9 and happens on every machine I have .. I would almost suggest looking at the dhcp server .. but since we are a large corp. this is not an option. Any help would be great.. Thanks, rod

RE: [SLE] HP WiFi

So what was the solution to this? I am having the same problem with Suse 9.2. It's a Compaq X1000 laptop so it looks like it could be the same problem as the HP. I have tried everything this thread has suggested with no luck. I get signal strength and it says connected, but I can't even ping my router. I set up a default Gateway..but it still doesn't help. I'm running out of ideas here... -----Original Message----- From: Richard [mailto:ratcheson@earthlink.net] Sent: Saturday, September 11, 2004 9:51 PM To: suse-linux-e(a)suse.com Subject: Re: [SLE] HP WiFi On Saturday 11 September 2004 09:13 am, Jim Sabatke wrote: > I'm going in circles.

Here are some of my > details: Jim, I started this earlier today but got sidetracked. Will send it all anyway cuase it might help you a bit. First some questions. When you use XP, are you using dhcp to get your IP? If yes then the wireless router is capable of doing its job. Also, it may not be setup to deal with a fixed IP which is what you have setup to do in the following. > wmugsy:/home/jim # cat /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-wlan0 > BOOTPROTO='static' > DHCLIENT_SET_DOWN_LINK='yes' > DHCLIENT_MODIFY_RESOLV_CONF='yes' > DHCLIENT_SET_DEFAULT_ROUT='yes' > MTU='' > REMOTE_IPADDR='' > STARTMODE='onboot' > WIRELESS='yes' > WIRELESS_ESSID=NETGEAR > WIRELESS_KEY='' > WIRELESS_MODE='Ad-hoc' > WIRELESS_NICK='' > WIRELESS_NWID='' > MII_NOT_SUPPORTED='yes' > WIRELESS_RTS='off' > BROADCAST='192.168.0.255' > IPADDR='192.168.0.97' > NETMASK='255.255.255.0' > UNIQUE='' > #NETWORK='192.168.0.0' > CHANNEL='6' > wmugsy:/home/jim # Next question is, is your router acting as an access point? It probably is so you need to use Managed Mode, not ad hoc. Ad-hoc is for peer to peer stuff. First thing I would do is zero out all you have put in your ifcfg-wlan0 until you have the thing talking to your router manually, then you can play with making it setup on boot later. you can manually put in all you need via the iwconfig command e.g., iwconfig alone will read the wireless card and tell you what you have going. ifconfig is another goodie that will show you what is setup. Remember you need to be root, as in su, to make the things work. ifconfig should show something like: lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:72 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:72 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:4664 (4.5 Kb) TX bytes:4664 (4.5 Kb) wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:90:96:A7:22:58 inet addr:192.168.2.6 Bcast:192.168.2.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::290:96ff:fea7:2258/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST NOTRAILERS RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:178 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:172 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:24153 (23.5 Kb) TX bytes:35969 (35.1 Kb) Interrupt:11 Memory:fcffc000-fcffdfff This shows you that wlan0 is getting it IP and all that good stuff. iwconfig will give you something like this if it is setup properly: lo no wireless extensions. wlan0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:"linux01" Nickname:"richdell" Mode:Managed Frequency:2.447GHz Access Point: 00:30:BD:FA:9F:63 Bit Rate=48Mb/s Tx-Power:14 dBm RTS thr=2347 B Fragment thr=2346 B Encryption key:<26digitkey> Security mode:restricted Power Management:off Link Quality:100/100 Signal level:-30 dBm Noise level:-256 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:5 Invalid misc:238493 Missed beacon:0 If you dont see that then you need to methodically put the stuff in using iwconfig wlan0 <command> AND in my machines they have to be entered in specific sequence. Encryption has to be set before the card will take the ESSID. So I first do: iwconfig wlan0 enc 1245678901234567890abcdef to set the encryption mode and key, then iwconfig wlan0 essid linux01 to set the ESSID. On some cards you may need to place quotes around the name. Now if that takes, and you can verify it by doing iwconfig wlan0 then the next thing you need to do is dhcpcd wlan0 which should get you the IP. If it says its already running you may need to stop the thing and redo it by dhcpcd stop, then dhcpcd wlan0. Another good command to remember is rcnetwork restart That will obviously restart your network and show if the wifi card is getting its IP. > > I have no idea what to put in for UNIQUE, if I need anything > at all. > > If I use dhcp, it can't get one and backgrounds. > > wmugsy:/home/jim # ifconfig wlan0 > wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:90:4B:5D:32:6D > inet addr:192.168.0.97 Bcast:192.168.0.255 > Mask:255.255.255.0 > inet6 addr: fe80::290:4bff:fe5d:326d/64 Scope:Link > UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 > RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 > TX packets:0 errors:54 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 Looks to me like you are setting the inet addr of your wifi card manually and the router is probably not setup to do fixed addresses.

9.1 Install Problems
by Ricci Graham 22 Nov '04

22 Nov '04

When I try to install 9.1 from the CD set I purchased, it give me two problems. 1) In some of the screens it appears to be blank, but I think it is really black writing on a black screen because I can see lines and bullets. What could cause this and how do I fix it? 2) When it shows the boot messages it give a "FATAL" Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.4-52-default/modules.dep: no such file or directory". Why would it not be able to find this> I am loading everything. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

xmgrace
by Herbert Georg 22 Nov '04

22 Nov '04

I have the Suse 9.1 and recently I have noticed that the xmgrace is behaving somewhat different. The main thing is that I cannot access, for any font, the second group (below) of characters in the font tool. I click on them but nothing happens. If I click on the characters of the first group (above) it's alright. This is really annoying because I have to use very often for example the "Angstrom" character, or the "degree" character. Someone knows what might be the problem? thanks in advance -- []s Herbert ----------------------------------- Departamento de Física de Materiais Instituto de Física Universidade de São Paulo -----------------------------------

Please share your config files. An OS/2 workstation connected to a linux server via samba. Been working for more than a year with no problems or changes. First set up in Redhat 9 (gods know what samba version, 2.something, probably), thru SuSE 9.1, and now with SuSE 9.2 (Samba 3.0.7-4) The OS/2 side is warp 4.52, but I see no reason why eCS or Warp Server would be a problem here - warp peer has been stable since Warp 3.

Crossover and PT accents
by SuSE Lover 22 Nov '04

22 Nov '04

Hi! My system is a SuSE 9.2 and HP omnibook and my keyboard is a international keyboard. (BTW the problem existed also in 9.1 and with a distribution like gentoo the problem didn't exist) My system is configured to use the Portuguese_Portugal (pt_PT) language. KDE works just fine with all accents but when I run any application using Crossover Office 3.0.0 (M$ Office for example or other non-M$ app) portuguese accents aren't working... For example ' + A = nothing (just) A = A Any ideas will be welcome ! Francisco Maia

So tired...ya ya ya ya know...
by Joe Polk 22 Nov '04

I took the Mepis challenge. It allows you to boot off the CD in either 2.6.x kernel or 2.4.x kernel. When I boot into 2.4.x my monitor behaves nicely. When I boot in 2.6.x I get a squiggly screen. It would appear to be kernel related or could be KDE, though even before I go into a user desktop I'm getting this. With some work I can eliminate it with user settings but it comes back. I want to stick with Suse, so perhaps a new monitor is in order. Time to drag out the old CRT. Before I plop down for another TFT, I'd like to know it's going to work properly. :/ -- <<JAV>>
