(Is that name going to chagne to YAST, soon?) Assuming you don't have DHCP to auto-detect your network settings, then you will have the "Static Address Setup" radio button selected and your IP/Subnet Mask filled out. Right below will be a panel with the name, "Detailed Settings." The button "Host Name and Server" is what you want. Click on it. The second panel down will have your Name Servers (DNS) entries. Your ISP has probably given you a name server IP address. Fill that in under the Name Server 1 and (optionally) Name Server 2 fields. If, OTOH, you have DHCP, then you should call your ISP to see what's going on. -- kai ponte www.perfectreign.com linux - genuine windows replacement part

Dumb LVM question
by Greg Freemyer 01 Dec '05

01 Dec '05

All, With SUSE 10.0 (lvm 2), how do I kill any and all snapshots. With SuSE 9.0 (lvm 1) it was "vgscan -r". I need to be able to do this with a script, so I'm hoping lvm 2 has a way to kill all snapshots without knowing their names, etc. If not, I guess I can script up something to do the job.

KDM Login Screen Options
by Randall R Schulz 01 Dec '05

01 Dec '05

Hi, Is there any straightforward way to get a clock displayed in the KDM login screen? I don't know if it was 9.3 or 9.1, but I know a recent version of SuSE Linux allowed it, but I cannot find such an option any more (and I'm hoping I just don't know where to look). Thanks. Randall Schulz

Fwd: Re: [SLE] KDE 3.5 Upgrade Problem -- python-qt
by Per Qvindesland 01 Dec '05

I have just updated my 9.3 machine whihc took me about 4 hours of google time searching for the most odd dependencies (I really wish Novell would do something about all the dependencies) I skipped the kdebindings3-python package it will then scream about that kdevelop also needs kdebindings3-python just delete kdevelop which takes care of the whole problem, if you got amarok installed then remove it before you start the upgrade.

Onstream ADR SCSI tape on OpenSuse 10
by Ovi 01 Dec '05

01 Dec '05

Hi folks, I'm using OpenSuSE 10.0 on a PIII machine which has a SCSI Onstream ADR 30 internal drive. Under SuSE 7.0-9.0 I used to make backups of the /home directory using the following command: tar cvf - /home | buffer -s 32k -m 32M -B -t -o /dev/nosst0 Since installing the OS 10.0 the same command gives me an error like: buffer (writer): write of data failed: Success bytes to write=32768, bytes written=4096, total written 257536K I have tried a different approach using the 'dd' command and i get: #dd if=/dev/sdb1 of=/dev/nosst0 bs=32768 dd: writing `/dev/nosst0': No space left on device 8049+0 records in 8048+0 records out 263720960 bytes (264 MB) copied, 8.96745 seconds, 29.4 MB/s It seems to me like now there is a (buffer ???) limitation of ~260MB of data that can be written on the tape. I've tried with 5 different tapes that I usually use bot all of them give the same errors. The 'cat /proc/scsi/sci' gives this output: Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 04 Lun: 00 Vendor: OnStream Model: SC-30 Rev: 1.05 Type: Sequential-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 None of the 'mt -f /dev/nosst0 status/rewind/reten' works.I have the following software versions: Linux 2.6.13-15.ck6.SUPER.1-default #1 Tue Sep 13 14:56:15 UTC 2005 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux tar-1.15.1-9 buffer-1.19-711 mt_st-0.7-423. Any advise is wellcomed! Thank you, ovi

CHGRP and CHOWN BUG with LDAP and SuSE 9.3
by Roberto C. Duarte 01 Dec '05

01 Dec '05

Hi all, I made tests with LDAP in SuSE 9.3 and find a problem: "chgrp" and "chown" fails when changing ownerships from a LDAP group with more than 50 users, Yast Online Update don't report any correction or comments to this problem ! A friend made a nss_ldap compilation from source and the problem was solved, but I did a stop in NSCD daemon and the problem returns !!! I could not try in other SuSE versions like SLES 9 and OpenSuSE 10, but I can do it in next days and I will report in this list. Anyone had this problem ??? Maybe this is a bug from "Core Utils" or "NSS_LDAP" ?? Thanks All ! Roberto C. Duarte

YaST "system services" hangs
by Glenn Holmer 01 Dec '05

01 Dec '05

When I bring up the "System Services" item (runlevels) in YaST, he hangs when he gets to cron. This is during the initialization, when the "Enabled" column is being populated (i.e. changed from "???" to "Yes" or either "No"). Cron is running and can be restarted with "rccron restart" (I put an entry in the crontab and it went off). Anybody know how I can fix this? -- ================================================== Glenn Holmer (Linux registered user #16682) -------------------------------------------------- "You may think this is the finest pearl But it's only cardboard balls, seamed in glue Overwhelming technique; done through diligence" -------------------------------------------------- -Captain Beefheart, "Best Batch Yet" ==================================================
