Monitoring servers for problems
by Dana Jaeger 01 Nov '05

01 Nov '05

Hi, I have heard that a product called Dell Openmanage exists to monitor events such as disk space usage, I/O rates, cpu utilization etc. Does any one know of this and where I can find more information on it. Are there other ways I can do this on SUSE 8 and 9 boxes. We do some checking on AIX and Solaris servers. Any help would be appreciated.

ftpd command isn't there ... what is it? Where should it be?
by M.Blackmore 01 Nov '05

I'm still trying to get suse 10.0 gm onto my desktop (emailing here from a P200/128mb "server" until a network install works!). In the context of mounting a loopback dvd.iso image into a directory for export via nfs (which didn't work with an nfs error returned) it was suggested I mounted another way and then started an ftp "server" (I assume). The command to do this was suggested as ftpd -D However, this returned a - command not found in bash - error. What is ftpd? i.e. what is it starting up? Is there anything else in suse 9.3 that is supposed to do the same thing (different name or different program)? If it is on the installation, where would it live? And how do I direct the 'pooter to find it in its search path? Trying to get suse10.0 onto my desktop is proving quite an obstacle course. At least in windows I'd have some clue where to start poking about ... <takes cover> Good thing I'm into free/open source stuff for political/ideological reasons, eh? That's if I can get "in" to it...

I didn't guess, per say, but I didn't find it in Yast as Cervisia. However, I saw the kdesdk3* package and after googling its contents saw that it contained Cervisia. Thanks again, James

Configuring Touchscreen
by Kenneth Aar 31 Oct '05

Hi I need some help setting up a touchscreen in suse. A LG L1510SF which uses the ITM Touch USB Touchscreen Driver. I think I have found the code I need, but I have no Idea of where to put it. Is this something I will have to patch in the kernel? The code I think I can use resides her: http://seclists.org/lists/linux-kernel/2005/Mar/3955.html It is signed by Vojtech Pavlik at SuSE Labs, SuSE CR. So it should be a fair chances to get this working. Right? -- Regards Kenneth Aar

Exporting Evolution address book, mail, to another machine.
by M.Blackmore 31 Oct '05

31 Oct '05

I'm migrating from a slower 433mhz box running Suse 9.3 (with xfcs4 in a small amount of ram) to a "newer" 2ghz box with 10.0 (installing real soon now ..tick-tock-tick-tock). When this is done I want to migrate over the bookmarks for Firefox (easy) and the contents of Evolution (got a shared network drive to ease things). However, it doesn't look like Evolution is going to be so easy. No luser menus for export anywhere, and my level of knowledge is pretty shallow. Have I missed something? The most useful thing google showed up was a couple of scripts for exporting the contacts for thunderbird. Can't use thunderbird, for some reason it screws up totally on my email provider (which after 15yrs I don't want to adandon as it provides me with IMAP, though I have to keep the folder sizes moderate on the server, so have to periodically copy archives onto the local disks. Or the imap chokes). Seems a bit odd I can't just seamlessly move something from evolution on one box to evolution on the other - both the same version afaik tell, too. Must be other inexperienced lusers who will hit similar problems ... any "instructions" or pointers anyone can give? A How-to anywhere?
