Why isn't my LAN, etc. working??? (SuSE 9.3)
by bernd 24 Dec '05

24 Dec '05

I have setup everything in yast (NFS, NIS, CUPS, etc.). I even downloaded and installed LISA, because it isn't on the cd's. I can ping every machine (2-9.3pro, 1-winxp) on the network successfully. I can access the SuSE machines via FISH only, not LAN. Sometimes I am told that the LISA daemon isn't running, yet when I check the running processes, it is on. I can't access printers; NFS doesn't mount; NIS hangs for a bit then timeouts, and shows up in the logs as a failed service. Sometimes if I fiddle with things, I'll get them to work, but the moment I reboot it to see if things took, all goes back to the way it was. My knowledge is limited. Yast is most usually my friend because I'm filling in boxes, etc. Please point me in the right direction. Thanks, Bernd

Cheap pci network card ok ?
by SheridanJ West 23 Dec '05

23 Dec '05

Im looking to install (not bought yet a couple of ADMtek AN983 10/100 PCI netcards into a suse 9.2 box. It seems to compatible with Linux and the tulip driver (whatever that is) the suse hardware db has no mention of such a card, mfr etc So can anybody here tell me what it might be called, and whether suse will pick it up I'd rather ask the question now rather than find out it does not work. Card features 10/100M Fast Auto-Negotiation Ethernet PCI Card, 32bit PCI bus unit Complies with IEEE802.3, 100BASE-TX, IEEE802.3u 10BASE-T, stands Supports Half/Full-duplex flow control Support ACPI, supply PCI power management fuction to operation system with OSPM function PCI 2.2 plug & play The hardware db is telling me nothing exists. Anybody have any experiences with this card on the list ? Thanks

I backup to a separate hard drive That I installed for backups only. I'm no tar expert but I'll post the script (see below), along with two file, the first indicating what gets backed-up, and a second indicating what to exclude (I'm not using that right now, but it's commented in the script) Maybe it will help.

Hello all! I have a small script to convert and resize images from my digital camera. #!/bin/bash ############################################################### # Converting Pentax .pef and .jpg files to 600x400 size jpegs # and store them in ./preview folder # Script must be run in the directory of the picturefolder you want to # convert from. # Utils used: 'dcraw', 'exiftools', 'ImageMagick' ############################################################### # # ToDO: Clean up the code. # Call with options or paths (from other scripts) # ############################################################### # # Tell us how many files we will convert. # echo `ls |wc -l` "files to convert" echo "creating ./preview folder" mkdir ./preview # Loop, convert and resize .pef files for infile in `ls *.pef |cut -d. -f1` # Find file name w/o extension do echo "converting RAW "$infile # Use dcraw to convert the RAW file and pipe to STD_OUT. # Grab the pipe directly into convert. dcraw -w -h -c $infile.pef |convert -resize 600x400 - ./preview/$infile.jpg # Use exiftool to write the metatags exiftool -q -overwrite_original -tagsfromfile $infile.pef ./preview/$infile.jpg done # Loop and convert (resize) the jpg's for infile in `ls *.jpg |cut -d. -f1` do echo "converting jpeg "$infile # No need to do anything but resize. convert -resize 600x400 $infile.jpg ./preview/$infile.jpg done ########################################## Is there anyway to thread this into multiple pipes?, so i can tell the script to convert two or more images at the time?
