Suse minimal install based on rescue - what to add to rescue to be bootable
by Robert Rozman 30 Mar '05

30 Mar '05

Hi, I'm trying to make real barebone SuSE installation that I could use for various purposes - for adding particular applications. First step to overcome is to add things for partition to be bootable. I guess rescue system already includes everything else except kernel and maybe grub. I've done this: umount /disks/rescue2 wget ftp://ftp.solnet.ch/pub/SuSE/i386/9.2/boot/rescue mv rescue rescue.comp uncompress -d -S .comp -f rescue cat rescue > /dev/hda7 mount /disks/rescue2 ls -l /disks/rescue2 Now I get filesystem. /boot directory is empty - I guess that is normal for Suse. But now I wonder: - what do I have to add so I can boot into partition (kernel, grub, ...) and what configuration has to be performed ? - can I install packages to that partition with rpm? How ? - how to easily duplicate image to other computers/disks ? I can post my saga to somewhere if anyone is interested, but don't know where is appopriate place for this Suse minimal-rescue install story ? Thanks in advance, regards, Rob.

logrotate question.
by Hans du Plooy 30 Mar '05

30 Mar '05

Hi guys, I use amavis-stats to impress the suits (excellent sales tool!). amavis-stats checkes for the log file you specify, plus rotated logs - it searches for .1 and .01 extentions. It doesn't, however deal with compressed logs. Many of the mailservers I have in the field are old P-II boxes with old discs, anything from 1gb up. So large logs become a problem. I was wondering if it's possible to have logrotate compress all logs but the most recent rotated log, i.e. say amavis.log.1 ? Thanks -- Kind regards Hans du Plooy SagacIT (Pty) Ltd hansdp at sagacit dot com

9.2 logdigest extended stats
by Scott Leighton 30 Mar '05

30 Mar '05

Anyone know why the 'System status' section of logdigest's extended status report is always blank on my 9.2 box? I've stared and stared at the script at /etc/cron.daily/logdigest and for the life of me don't understand why the `procinfo` that is supposed to show up in that section of the logdigest report comes out blank. All the other sections report something, and procinfo on the command line works fine, so what am I not seeing?

gpg-agent & kmail 1.8
by Christopher Shanahan 30 Mar '05

30 Mar '05

Hello all. Just upgraded my SUSE 9.2 Pro system from kde-3.3 to 3.4. I use kmail for all my e-mail needs with integrated gpg for signing mail. I've never had any problems with gpg in the past. gpg-agent was set to start when I started my system and it would prompt me for my passphrase when I sent e-mail. However, now when I start my machine I get an error message about gpg-agent not running. Regardless of what I do, I cannot get gpg-agent to run correctly. And, when I send e-mail I get the following error message: You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for user: (my key ID displayed here) Christopher Shanahan (N/A) This dialog will reappear every time the passphrase is needed. For a more secure solution that also allows caching the passphrase, use gpg-agent. gpg-agent was found in /usr/bin/gpg-agent, but does not appear to be running. For information on how to set up gpg-agent, see http://kmail.kde.org/kmail-pgpmime-howto.html I'm familiar with this howto and I just went through it again to make sure I didn't inadvertently break something. kmail seems to be setup correctly but I still cannot get my system to recognize gpg-agent as running. I used the following command, from the kmail-pgpmime-howto, to check gpg and it executed/finished without errors. cms@dl320:~/.gnupg> echo "test" | gpg -ase -r 0xA76872B8 | gpg You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for user: "Christopher M.

HP JetDiret.
by Erik Jakobsen 30 Mar '05

30 Mar '05

Hi. I have a PrinterServer HP JetDirect 500x, and its running fine with my HP Deskjet 895Cxi and a Brother HL5040 printer. They are of course parallel conneted to the JetDirect, when I'm in Windows. Before and also in SuSE 9.2 I have set up the printers via the JetDirect PrinterServer, but now I'm unable to do it. If I set them up to print via TCP, I get printing all the time via the Deskjet printer even I have choosen the Brother to be printed on. So the problem is, that the printing is going out only to the port1 where the DJ895Cxi is connected, and there's no switching to port 2, where the Brother is connected. This was the reason why I downloaded the HP software, but it will not work. Here's what I did with the downloaded software I downloaded the HP software -rwxr--r-- 1 root users 39882492 Mar 29 16:10 wja78-2988-su.selfx. This was installed ok, but after there didn't happened anything by typing http:computername:8000 I have rebooted, and have these lines from the /var/log/boot.msg file: Starting hardware scan on boot<notice>exit status of (xntpd hwscan) is (0 0) <notice>start services (cups) Starting cupsd<notice>startproc: execve (/usr/sbin/cupsd) [ /usr/sbin/cupsd ], [ CONSOLE=/dev/console TERM=linux SHELL=/bin$ done <notice>exit status of (cups) is (0) <notice>start services (nscd hpwebjetd) Starting Name Service Cache Daemon<notice>startproc: execve (/usr/sbin/nscd) [ /usr/sbin/nscd ], [ CONSOLE=/dev/console TER$ done Starting hpwebjetd: /opt/hpwebjet/hpwebjetd: error while loading shared libraries: libgdbm.so.2: cannot open shared object $ /opt/hpwebjet/hpwebjetd.sh start: hpwebjetd could not be started <notice>exit status of (nscd hpwebjetd) is (0 0) <notice>start services (xdm smbfs postfix) Starting service kdm<notice>startproc: execve (/opt/kde3/bin/kdm) [ /opt/kde3/bin/kdm ], [ LC_MONETARY= CONSOLE=/dev/consol$ done Maybe its not necessary to have the HP software installed ?.

Online update woes on Suse 9.2
by James D. Parra 30 Mar '05

30 Mar '05

Hello, Very strange things happening with Online update and System update. Although the kernel was updated during the install process, I can't get the kernel source to update nor can I find it.

On a similar note, I can't find any of *.ko module files under the source directory.

hi folks i was trying to install Novell Linux Desktop on a P4 , 845 chipset , 20GB Maxtor Hdd, 128mb ram with Win98 already installed on complete 20GB of the disk of which only 4gb was used . first the system was defragrameted in win98. then started the NLD installation and resized the HDD to 14GB and 5 GB free space was created for Linux . but during resizing process it showed 40% complete and kept on listing directories it was processing for almost 1.5 hrs and then the system froze with constant hdd and cdrom activity. finally after 2.5 hrs when the system was rebooted windows had been corrupted, the system was not resized. any idea what could have caused this ? earlier i have resized boxes installed with win2k / winxp etc without any errors any help is appreciated Harsh -- __________________________ http://www.ebackend.com/blog
