by Gracia M. Littauer 03 Jan '05

03 Jan '05

I'm asking again because someone may have received or given themself a new toy. If so & you use 9.2 does it work well (at all?)...especially with Gimp2.2, of course. -- Gracia...Cooleemee, NC Registered Linux user #263390 - SuSE 9.1 Pro Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

When booting from the CD into the rescue system you are given 3 options; automatic repair, customised repair and expert tools. Can anyone tell me where I can find the scripts for the first 2? Thanks.

Well, that's one of the things I tried, but it still keeps popping up. I'm going to spend some time tonight trying to figure out which component of KDE detects the disc type (the same thing detects blank discs and offers to open k3b - I think it's not directly related to kscd) and see where the relevant config files is. -- Kind regards Hans du Plooy Newington Consulting Services hansdp at newingtoncs dot co dot za

dhcpd problem
by Alex Angerhofer 03 Jan '05

03 Jan '05

Hi list, I have a strange problem with dhcpd. 1. the setup: nibbio (SuSE 9.2 on amd64) is connected to a DSL modem with ethernet device 1. Device 2 connects to my local network on which two other PCs are connected. I am running dhcpd (from the stock distribution) on nibbio which hands out leases on the private subnet. So far so good. 2. the initial problem: Just recently, out of the blue, the eth device order decided to change, i.e., device 1 is now eth1 and device 2 is now eth0 where they were previously coming up the other way. This foiled my dhcpd server which was tied to eth1. After googling a bit I found that with kernel 2.6.x the devices were now called eth-id-MAC whith the proper MAC addresses in order to positively identify them and that aliases introduced in modprobe.conf wouldn't really make any sense anymore or would tend to be irrelevant (see for example: http://support.novell.com/cgi-bin/search/searchtid.cgi?/en/2004/05/91_sysco… ). So, I decided that the way to go would be to tie dhcpd to eth-id-MAC_of_device_2 rather than eth1 which it had been set before. However, this makes dhcpd fail with the following error message in the logs: Dec 30 15:52:38 nibbio dhcpd: No subnet declaration for eth-id-00:09:5b (0.0.0.0). Obviously, eth-id-00:09:5b is not the entire interface name. Apparently, dhcpd only takes the 15 first characters of whatever is given to it. I confirmed this behavior by leaving out eth- in the DHCPD_INTERFACE field and by trying just the MAC address. dhcpd fails to run in any case and only 15 characters are given. Has anybody else seen this problem, and perhaps found a solution? Best regards, Alex.

Intel Pro/1000 MT Quad Port is not working under SLES9
by Rainer Blaes 03 Jan '05

03 Jan '05

Dear all, we are running on an x86 system SLES 9 where we added an Intel Pro/1000 Ethernet MT Quad adapter. The system recognized this board and with YAST we configured for examples two interfaces ie. "ifconfig -a" is showing the correct properties. But we are not able from other sytems in the same subnet to communicate (ping) with their respective Ethernet ports. Firewall is not active i.e. "iptables -L" says: Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Also pls. see our "ifconfig -a" ouput for the configured eth2/eth3 ports: eth2 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:04:23:09:C9:55 inet addr:149.243.228.79 Bcast:149.243.228.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::204:23ff:fe09:c955/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) Base address:0xc400 Memory:fc000000-fc020000 eth3 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:04:23:09:C9:56 inet addr:149.243.226.60 Bcast:149.243.226.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::204:23ff:fe09:c956/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:105 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:4 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:11516 (11.2 Kb) TX bytes:292 (292.0 b) Base address:0xc000 Memory:fb800000-fb820000 Our idea is that this behavior has something to do with "acpi" but using the "acpi=oldboot" value (menu.lst) didn't the trick. Any tipps, comments are welcome! Many thanks in advance! Rainer

gnome and keyboard
by Bruno Santos 03 Jan '05

03 Jan '05

Hello all. I've got a issue with gnome 2.6 in SuSE 9.2 that i cant resolve. my keyboard code is pt-latin1 using iso8859-1. i've set YAST to work with no dead keys, and set in KDE the same thing. In KDE it works perfectlly. as an example, only if i press twice the ~ ( tilt ) it apears and that is correct. but with the same configuration using gnome, it not works. since portuguese language has a lots of accents (á, à, ã, etc...) i need the keys to work perfect. any ideia ? cheers -- Say no to Software patents www.nosoftwarepatents.com -- bvsantos(a)hal.min-saude.pt -- Divisão de Informática informatica(a)hal.min-saude.pt Tel: +272 000 155 Fax: +272 000 257 -- Hospital Amato Lusitano geral(a)hal.min-saude.pt Tel: 272 000 272 Fax: 272 000 257
