by Jim Sabatke 29 Apr '04

I can't access my CD drive unless I boot with a CD in the drive. Then it works fine. Any ideas about this? SuSE 9.0 Pro -- Jim Sabatke Hire Me!! - See my resume at http://my.execpc.com/~jsabatke Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for you are crunchy and good with ketchup.

routing server with SuSE machine
by Prabu Subroto 29 Apr '04

29 Apr '04

Dear my friends... We have a new sales department at our office. The internet access for this department should have some restriction. That's why I need to build a router for the LAN of this new department. Firstly, this router has 2 NIC (Ethernet). One is connected to the hub of the new LAN (belong to the new department, IP number 192.168.23.21/24) and another is connected to the an internet dedicated router (IP Number 192.168.23.20/24). Secondly, I want to make this policy as the beginning as follows: The computers whose IP number 192.168.23.240-192.168.23.254/255.255.255.0 may only visit "bloomberg.com" (204.179.240.9). So the other destination from 192.168.23.240-192.168.23.254 will be dropped (rejected). But the rest (192.168.23.1-192.168.23.239/24) may visit any internet domain (no restriction). How can I implement this with iptables? Please give me your advices... Thank you very much in advance. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Win a $20,000 Career Makeover at Yahoo!

Knoppix Question
by David Johanson 29 Apr '04

29 Apr '04

As stated in an earlier message, I'm in the process of updating my system. At present my install of SuSE7.1 won't recognize any of the new AGP cards I've tried (in the process I've settled on the ATI Radeon 9200se) so I've been booting with Knoppix. When I try to use any of my installed files like mozilla and the mail reader Knoppis tells me things like: "You do not have enough permissions to read file:/mnt/sdc3/home/dcjohan". Can anyone tell me how to get into my files so I can run the installed programs on the drive? tia, dave

vnc server / remote desktop crash
by Ian Harrell 29 Apr '04

29 Apr '04

Hello again all, I am trying to run the remote desktop server on a machine that I am using primarily just as a web/file server. I already have it setup to accept connections anonymously (think that is it, its set so it don't have to keep sending an invitation to myself) and when I first boot the server everything works fine. When I close the vnc client on my other computer (windows xp for the moment) and then restart it later (no matter how much time elapses) the vnc server on the linux machine crashes. When I hook a monitor up to it, it shows the KDE Crash Handler and says: The application Desktop Sharing (krfb) has caused and caused the signal 11. The only way I have found so far to reset everything and get it back working for one more time is to reboot the server. Any ideas or suggestions? Server is currently running suse 9.0 and kde3. Many thanks in advance, IK Harrell

SuSE FAQ address?
by Damon Register 29 Apr '04

29 Apr '04

This morning I was trying to find a solution for my problem with a Radeon 8500 and 3D. Since I know this has been discussed, I wanted to check the Togan FAQ. I looked at the signature of some of Togan's posts and found several addresses. http://susefaq.sf.net gives an unresolveable DNS error and http://susefaq.sourceforge.net does the same. Finally I went to http://www.sourceforge.net and searched for the FAQ. I found it at http://sourceforge.net/projects/susefaq/ If those signature addresses are correct, why don't they work for me? If they are wrong, Togan could you please update your signature? Damon Register

RE: [SLE] K3b 0.11.9 won't burn CD's in with Kernel 2.6.4 on SuSE 9

-----Original Message----- From: Gregory Oolds [mailto:gco4468@njit.edu] Sent: Wednesday, 21 April 2004 17.12 To: suse-linux-e(a)suse.com Subject: [SLE] K3b 0.11.9 won't burn CD's in with Kernel 2.6.4 on SuSE 9 Although I'm using the 2.4-athlon kernel on SuSE 9.0, I am using K3b-0.11.9 successfully. Hello all. I keep getting and error from K3b that it CDrecord does not have permission to open up my cd recorder device. I have checked the permissions on the device file and I do have access under my user account. I know that when I complied 2.6.4 into my SuSE 9 distribution, I disabled scsi emulation. I was told that it was not needed to burn cd's anymore. I think ide-scsi is still required with the current versions of cdrdao & cdrecord At least, I had to enable ide-scsi for my input device in order to get K3b to recognise these programs I also think that I had burning working at one point without emulation enabled, but have since formatted my computer and don't remember for sure. Can someone tell me if this is possible and what do I have to do to get CD burning to work? After enabling ide-scsi I checked/corrected my /dev/cdr* symbolic links and then ran k3bsetup2 to correct permissions (I use a "burning" group) Thanks -Gregory Olds I hope that helps -- Sylvanus A.

ReiserFS problem?
by Brad Bendily 29 Apr '04

29 Apr '04

I have recently setup Suse 9.0 on a machine and configured it to be used as a Kiosk station. I used ReiserFS as the file systems on my 3 partitions I created. Since I've the machine up we have had two power outages. The problem is that when the machine starts up again the file systems don't get mounted and I get brought to the root login prompt and get asked to login and run fsck (or reiserfsck). And it trys to replay journals and do all that stuff. The first time it happened I recovered and it all worked. Today when it happened it wiped out my /home partition and everything was lost. Mostly. I have my work desktop setup with ext3 partitions and the same power outage didn't affect this box. I thought ReiserFS should be able to handle the instant reboots. Should I convert the kiosk PC to ext3? Or am I missing something in my ReiserFS setup? Brad B-- CLE
