[SLE] /SuSE-9.2/suse/src/findutils-4.1.20-2.src.rpm doesn't install SOLVED
by Martin Deppe 09 Mar '05

Thanks to all, I made it! Subject solved!!! Hi ye' all, when I unsuccessfully tried to install some sources under SuSE 9.1 I thought it was because I didn't have a full "license" (just the live-dvd). But now, after experiencing this effect under SuSE 9.2 when trying to install "/SuSE-9.2/suse/src/findutils-4.1.20-2.src.rpm" from harddisc (as a copy from the original DVD which I bought) I happen to think there is something else. Can anybody tell me why I can't install this source? Well, when I try to, the system even tells me it installed it, but it didn't. Some help appriciated! Thanks again! Martin

I have been looking for the same. I'm located in Louisville too. Maybe we should start a new "active" users group in the area!

GUI Development Language
by John Sowden 09 Mar '05

09 Mar '05

I am looking for a "language" (I assume a gui paint it yourself instead of procedural code) to create database related programs for linux under suse/kde. Oh, and I have a life, I do not want to learn C/C++. I have been using FoxPro/DOS for the last 10ish years, and I am looking for something as easy to learn. It seems that Visual Foxpro/Wine/Linux or Visual Basic/Wine/Linux ar the answer. Visual basic is very well documented in the book marketplace. My Q: other than "I want a non-Microsoft computer", why are we not using something like VB/Wine/Linux? This may all be moot, as OpenOffice has come out with a set of Objects/Glue in v2.0 for databases. If there are Linux alternatives without a steep learning curve, are there source code examples for a generic database from which to build (create/data entry/edit/search/report/maintain)? -- John Sowden American Sentry Systems.

Maximum Swap Size
by John Sowden 09 Mar '05

09 Mar '05

Actually, I thought this was a great question that only one person came close to answering. Is there a defined set of tradeoffs when expanding the swap size, in relation to RAM, taking into consideration CPU speed and possibly other variables that I am not aware of. If, instead of using the 2X rule for sizing a swap partition, we went to a 4X or 6X size, would the paging overhead not justify the expanded swap size, in terms of increasing performance? -- John Sowden American Sentry Systems.

beagle
by Gerhard den Hollander 09 Mar '05

09 Mar '05

I found some reference to a tool called beagle (desktop search tool akin to google desktop for linux). They suggest here http://www.beaglewiki.org/index.php/Installing%20Beagle that you can install this using the following commands: For users of SUSE 9.1, SUSE 9.2 and Novell Linux Desktop 9, snapshot packages of all Beagle requirements can be found on the segfault.cam.novell.com open carpet server. Simply type: # rug sa http://segfault.cam.novell.com/ # rug sub mdes unfortunately, rug is not installed on my system. So my questions are: 0) Is beagle actually useful ? 00) Is there an alternative tool that does not rely on mono/gtk-sharp 1) Are there beagle rpms (plus all the dependency crap I need) for suse 9.2 ? 2) Where can I get rug ? Also, reading a bit more on the page, I even need to install a kernel patch .. Any userland tool that requires a kernel patch to work sucks donkeys through straws in my experience .. so should I even embark [1] on this path [1] har har .. beagle, bark ... sheesh, I need more coffee I guess Kind regards, -- Gerhard den Hollander Phone :+31-10.280.1515 Global ICT manager Direct:+31-10.280.1539 Fugro-Jason Fax :+31-10.280.1511 gdenhollander(a)Fugro-Jason.com POBox 1573 visit us at http://www.Fugro-Jason.com 3000 BN Rotterdam JASON.......#1 in Reservoir Characterization The Netherlands This e-mail and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the addressee.

by Natarajan Shankar 09 Mar '05

09 Mar '05

The SuSe9.1 version that is loaded on my HP nx5000 laptop does not contain support for uuencode/uudecode. Packaged applications that I am trying to run are looking for this functionality. Where can I get this uuencode/uudecode functionality from and is it easily introduced into my system? thanks, shankar

Problem with NFS in Suse 9.2
by Paco Pastor 09 Mar '05

09 Mar '05

Hi all We have build an internal LAN with three PC running Suse 9.2. The main node has two network cards (one connecting to the Internet and the other one to the internal LAN while the other two nodes only have one network card connecting to the internal net) Communication between the three nodes works fine with SSH but fails when we try to export a directory in /usr /local. We had some problems exporting form the central server (thalassa1). YAST hanged so we had to reboot the system and found a warning about ipfwadm.ko but finally it seems to be exporting the desired directory, or at least it appears as it was doing it in YAST. But when we try to import from the client side in node2 (thalassa2) YAST says it can't mount NFS entries in /etc/fstab. We find this message in /var/log/messages Mar 9 09:45:32 thalassa1 rpc.mountd: export request from 192.168.1.2 Mar 9 09:45:59 thalassa1 rpc.mountd: mount request from unknown host 192.168.1.2 for /usr/local/mpich-1.2.6 (/usr/local/mpich-1.2.6) As if node2 (thalassa2 with IP 192.168.1.2) it was unknown to thalassa. But in /etc/hosts on central server (thalassa1) thalassa2 is properly defined 192.168.1.1 thalassa1.ceam.es thalassa1 192.168.1.2 thalassa2.ceam.es thalassa2 192.168.1.3 thalassa3.ceam.es thalassa3 Firewall is open in thalassa1 for the network card interface to the internal LAN and deactivated in thalassa2. Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance Paco -- ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ Francisco Pastor Meteorology department Fundación CEAM paco(a)ceam.es http://www.gva.es/ceamet http://www.gva.es/ceam Paterna, Valencia, Spain ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ Usuario Linux registrado: 363952
