ls sorted order
by Verdi March 30 Mar '05

30 Mar '05

Hi, just notice that in previous SuSE, 'ls -al' lists all hidden (dot files) first, followed by files with upper case, and finally files with lower case. In 9.2, the dot and upper case is ignored in sorting. How do I revert to the old behavior? -- Regards, Verdi

yast and loading megaraid module
by James D. Parra 30 Mar '05

30 Mar '05

Hello, Have a fresh install of Suse 9.2, however noticed that the LSI Logic MegaRAID SATA 150-6 Raid Controller wasn't loading. Went to Yast to discover that the "Module to use" was i20_pci with "Module parameters" of abdef. Why isn't the megaraid module being used? Tried to install the megaraid module by typing it in the "Module to use" section, but that doesn't work. Attempting to insmod megaraid from the source directory didn't work either. Any ideas on how to correct this? Many thanks in advance. James

SYSTEM WILL NOT BOOT
by steve nutt 29 Mar '05

29 Mar '05

Hello: I am not having a good evening! The mail server after kernel upgrade with yast2 will not boot. It stops shortly after the grub boot loader splash screen. I theorize it is probably a grub problem, but I know nothing about this. Can someone tell me what I should do? Where should I go for help on this one. This is our production mail server. Any help is appreciated. Steve

printing from wine to cups
by Andre Truter 29 Mar '05

29 Mar '05

I have a Windows application that needs to run on a SuSE 9.2 box. It installs without problems and seems to work fine, except for printing. The printer dialogue detects the CUPS printer and all seems fine until you print. Then the CPU usage goes up to 100% and the procs goes throught the roof. The only way to stop it is to kill wine. Then a very huge print job appears in teh queue. The side depends on how long you wait before you kill wine. I have had one job of size 256MB. I cannot find any help by googling. Has anybody had a similar problem or a solution?

boot probs
by David Chapman 29 Mar '05

29 Mar '05

I have tried to upgrade my SuSE 9.2 box to a 2.6.11 kernel and it failed to boot. The error is Loading kernel/fs/jbd/jbd.ko Loading kernel/fs/ext3/ext3.ko waiting for device /dev/hda6 to appear :............... not found -- exiting to /bin/sh sh: can't access tty; job control turned off $ /dev/hda6 is my / partion The same error appears with the 2.6.8-24-smp kernel If I boot from my SuSE DVD and choose >installation >boot installed system It will find the SuSE install and boot fine but only with the default 2.6.8-24 kernel which is uniprocessor. Upgrading to the 2.6.11 kernel required upgrading mkinitrd 1.1 to 1.2 Any help please I would rather not reinstall

smbmount problem -- symbolic links broken
by Long Fei 29 Mar '05

29 Mar '05

I had this weird problem (SUSE Prof. 9.2, smb version 3.09): I use smbmount to access my directory on a remote server. I used "smbmount //remote_server/share mounting_point". I was able to mount the remote directory and see the files, but all the symbolic links in the remote directory are broken. When I did "ls -l", all the links are still listed as links, e.g. "name --> target". I guess this problem is solvable, because when I used "smb://remote_server/share" in konqueror browser, all the symbolic links are converted correctly. Another guy using smb version 2.2.x (Linux RH 9) didn't have this problem. when he did the samething, all the symbolic links are properly listed as files/directories. Does anybody have a solution ? thanks in advance ! --Long

Backing up SuSE Personal 9.1
by martinb＠magma.ca 29 Mar '05

29 Mar '05

Hi I have downloaded and installed and configured SuSE Personal 9.1 Amazing but I got it set up well. How can I now back it up? I have a CD burner on this PC, but I do not see any form of backup program. Is there an application, or simple method built into SuSE Personal 9.1? (preferably with the graphic interface as I am a newbee), to run a backup without installing a third party software? If I do need to use someones software, what would you recommend? Martin

Well the real problem is that when I install with a swap I have to tell it which partition to use for swap. And since the hdd isn't properly partitioned yet, I've to use /dev/hda1. And that's the only partition at that moment. After that Yast can't do a partitioning anymore, sice /dev/hda1 is in use :-( But I keep trying to find a way :-D Harmen Ps I noticed that some of other replies to other on the list did not get to the list....
