No rpc.lockd of NFS client ?
by Steven 01 Nov '05

01 Nov '05

Hi, I am new to opensuse 10.0. When I use NFS client (/etc/init.d/nfs start) to start the NFS mount, it does mount what I wrote in /etc/fstab. But the problem is that I did not see any rpc.lockd running in this client. This will cause problem when some program tried to lock some file. Does anyone know how to do that in OpenSuSE 10.0 ? Thanks. -- Steven Shiau

Suse 10 will not install, GRUB / SATA problem?
by Matt Stamm 01 Nov '05

01 Nov '05

Hello, Thank you all for the help on this so farThis is an update to a previous post/thread.I'm still unable to install Suse 10 on my brandnew PC. The PC has a AMD Sempron 64 cpu, 512 mem80gig SATA harddrive. Based on the my prevoius post and your responses(thank you very much!) I beleive the problem isdue to GRUB and my SATA drive, but I am not anexpert in the area. Sorry for the lengthy post, but I wanted to put as much info as possible Here's what I've found... - my SUSE 10 install fails on the initial boot after the first CD with "GRUB Loading stag1.5". - if I use the cd in rescue mode and login to the command prompt I see what looks like a linux install on my harddrive. So I'm assuming the first install was successful incopying files to mt hard drive. One note, I noticed that the/boot directory is empty. - I can install FreeDOS successfully on this hard drive but need to perform the "FDISK /MBR" in order to make it boot to the hard drive properly. So, I can install another OS on the system/hard drive. I copied files, etc and everything went fine. - and finally, I disconnected the SATA drive, installed an old 6gig drive in IDE2, and the install progressed past the first cd for the first time, performing the initial boot to the hard drive successfully. So, I'm assuming the following, and please tell me where I'm wrong... - the system and SATA hard drive works fine because the Suse install recognized the hard drive and copied files to it, and I could install FreeDOS successfully - somewhere somehow the MBR is not finding GRUB stage1.5 after the first CD. From what I understand, the MBR contains GRUB stage 1, then finds stage 1.5 and 2 in something like /boot/grub. Could the first CD install not be setting up GRUB to find stages 1.5 and beyond on the SATA drive (/dev/sda1) where it does not have that problem when there is a IDE drive (dev/hda1) and if so how can I get around this? Please help! Matt

No no, you are quite right, I found the answer, now why they did it this way will probably always be a mystery... Half of the config is done in /etc/opt/kde3 and the half is in /opt/kde3 Chadley

usb automounting affects networking
by Norbert Müller 01 Nov '05

01 Nov '05

Hi all, After switching to Suse OSS 10.0 I have the following problem^Wbehaviour: My USB-Stick/MP3 Player mounts fine automatically, window pops up, so I am happy with this. But my digicam does not automount. Looking into /var/log/messages I find the following: Oct 31 17:57:47 linux kernel: usb 2-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3 Oct 31 17:57:48 linux kernel: scsi2 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices Oct 31 17:57:48 linux kernel: usb-storage: device found at 3 Oct 31 17:57:48 linux kernel: usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning Oct 31 17:57:53 linux kernel: Vendor: Model: Rev: Oct 31 17:57:53 linux kernel: Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 00 Oct 31 17:57:53 linux kernel: SCSI device sdb: 1001952 512-byte hdwr sectors (513 MB) Oct 31 17:57:53 linux kernel: sdb: Write Protect is off Oct 31 17:57:53 linux kernel: sdb: Mode Sense: 03 00 00 08 Oct 31 17:57:53 linux kernel: sdb: assuming drive cache: write through Oct 31 17:57:53 linux kernel: SCSI device sdb: 1001952 512-byte hdwr sectors (513 MB) Oct 31 17:57:53 linux kernel: sdb: Write Protect is off Oct 31 17:57:53 linux kernel: sdb: Mode Sense: 03 00 00 08 Oct 31 17:57:53 linux kernel: sdb: assuming drive cache: write through Oct 31 17:57:53 linux kernel: sdb: sdb1 Oct 31 17:57:53 linux kernel: Attached scsi removable disk sdb at scsi2, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 Oct 31 17:57:53 linux kernel: Attached scsi generic sg1 at scsi2, channel 0, id 0, lun 0, type 0 Oct 31 17:57:53 linux kernel: usb-storage: device scan complete Oct 31 17:57:53 linux kernel: printk: 118 messages suppressed.

Strange thing is, that after this my WLAN is down. usblist finds the digicam. manual mounting works Under Suse 9.3 the digicam was automounted. Anybody an idea, what is the reason? Regards Norbert

ClusterIP anyone?
by Martin Cordova 01 Nov '05

01 Nov '05

Hello: I am interested in learning about configuring load balancing without a load balancer, now that IPTables includes support for this. It's hard to find easy-to-follow intructions about it, the netfilter how-to does not help me too much (because of my limited experience with iptables and networking concepts) I wonder if someone has already experimented with ClusterIP and can share his/her scripts? Is there a SuSE-specific config file to setup clusterIP nodes? Could not find anything on Yast2/FireWall module. BTW, it would be nice to have a config option for this in yast2. I already looked into a very nice software called "balancer", which is an open source TCP proxy, very easy to configure, but I suspect that an IPTable-based solution could be much faster, right? I would appreciate comments on this if it is not the case. Thank you, Martin -- Dinamica - Open source J2EE framework Free, easy and powerful http://www.martincordova.com

AddDefaultCharset default?
by jdd 01 Nov '05

01 Nov '05

I just had a problem with utf8 and an 9.0 apache2 server. I don't know is the problem is still here, so I quote it. the default AddDefaultCharset value of apache 2 on suse 9.0 is at iso-8859-1. This was probably of no consequence two years ago, but now than suse 10.0 is mostly (if not all) utf8, this led to problem. the answer is only to have "AddDefaultCharset off". this is confusing because this value has precedence upon the meta tag of the page, so the display is not that waited in the source. jdd -- pour m'écrire, aller sur: http://www.dodin.net

Python 2.4 and 2.3 at the same time
by Roger Oberholtzer 01 Nov '05

01 Nov '05

Is there anything to consider when installing python 2.3 as well as 2.4? I have a SUSE 10.0 system that I want to run an existing Plone site on. It ran with python 2.3. I have tried with the python 2.4 what comes with 10.0, but I get no joy. So I want to try with python 2.3. -- Roger

KDM theme manager ???
by Chadley Wilson 01 Nov '05

01 Nov '05

Greetings, Maybe I suffering from a memory lapse. Which DM does Suse use by default and wasn't there a switch DM utility in previous versions? Also I seem to remeber there being a kdm-theme manager... I can find any of them and the ~/.kde/share/apps/kdm/themes folder doesn't exist either.. Is there a new way to change the DM theme in SuSE 10 ? TIA Chadley
