Hi all I just bought a notebook for my daughter (Dell Inspiron 510m). Tested with Knoppix 3.7 (wonderful) Tested with FreeSBIE 1.0 (see above). Then, yesterday in the afternoon, I tried to install SuSE 9.1: yast did not start in graphical mode or with incredible colours and characters if I changed the screen resolution on boot. Since I am quite curious I tried SuSE 9.2 (same result), Mandrake 10.0 (same result), SuSE 8.2 (WORKS FINE!!) Is there anyone thet can explain to me such a behaviour Ciao emilio

An apology to the list

I have only just found out that this list does not like Gmail. I have been replying to what I believed were messages on the list. It turns out that I have been replying to individual list members. I'm not a wet behind the ears newbie to mailing lists so for once this is not my fault. I have been hitting the 'reply' tab in Gmail expecting the reply to go to the list as it normally should. Well, in Gmail it doesn't. So be warned everybody. -- Take care. Kevan Farmer 34 Hill Street Cheslyn Hay Staffordshire WS6 7HR

ip_dynaddr in /proc
by Mike 01 Mar '05

01 Mar '05

Finally found a reference to the 10.64.64.64 being set during a network reset. The fix suggested is echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ ip_dynaddr Is there a way to determine which configuration file would normally set this? -- Collector of vintage computers http://www.ncf.ca/~ba600 Machines to trade http://www.ncf.ca/~ba600/trade.html Open Source Weekend http://www.osw.ca

configure: error: can't find Tcl configuration definitions
by Jim Osborn 01 Mar '05

01 Mar '05

Trying to install db-3.1.17, so that I can install rpm 4, so that I can install lots of things, in hope of being able to install all the things I need to make a 2.6 kernel, I run into this error from rpm -bb: configure: error: can't find Tcl configuration definitions I have tcl/tk installed, but I can't locate any config.sh files for either tcl or tk. Do I need to hunt down a newer version of tcl/tk? My current version seems to be tcl-8.3.3-83. I've never overtly used tcl/tk, and can't think why db3 would care, but there it is... TIA, Jim

[SLE] Problem to add a network printer.
by Catimimi 01 Mar '05

01 Mar '05

Hello, I use my notebook either at home or at my office. I was able to configure with YaST my home printers as network printers. At my office I tried to do the same thing BUT YaST freezes while loading the configuration files ! It seems that YaST tries to detect the previous configured printers !! I'd to save the previous configuration files then erase them in order to be able to configure !!! Did someone meet the problem and find a solution ? My solution was to add the content of the previous files to the new ones (with only one default printer) and I'm able to work on both sides. But I would like to find something better. Thanks in advance. Michel.

PostgreSQL 8.01 Proble/Question
by Andrei Verovski (aka MacGuru) 01 Mar '05

Hi, I have just installed SuSE 9.2 PostgreSQL 8.01 RPMs from: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/postgresql/postgresql-8.0.1 Unfortunately, PostgreSQL seem to be not running... Calling rcpostgresql or /etc/init.d/postgresql scripts return nothing for start, stop, restart, etc. Like nothing happen. Anyone have an idea what might be wrong? Thanks in advance for any suggestion(s). ************************************************ *** with best regards *** Andrei Verovski (aka MacGuru) *** Mac, Linux, DTP, Programming Web Site *** *** http://snow.prohosting.com/guru4mac/ ************************************************

You need to activate the samba client then you mount windows shares with smbmount and you configure printers with YaST. But for linux shares I've better to use nfs for files and a cups server for printers.

Hi Elijah, Here's what I'd do if I were "in the driver's seat": YaST -> Network Devices -> Network Cards under "Network cards configuration"... -> click 'Change' under 'Already configured devices' -> your nic should already be highlighted; click 'Edit' -> verify the Automatic address setup (via DHCP) checkbox is selected -> click 'Host name and name server setting' then 'Accept' (not 'Modify') -> verify and jot down the existing entries for Name Server 1 & 2 (3?) + Domain Search 1 & 2 (3?) I like to have these for later reference. -> verify the 'Update name servers and search list via DHCP checkbox is selected -> click 'Back' then 'Routing'; verify your default gateway is entered here. (the one in my router is 192.168.1.1) -> uncheck the 'Enable IP Forwarding' checkbox if it has been accidentally selected previously -> click 'Back' then 'Advanced' and 'DHCP Client Options' -> leave DHCP Client Identifier blank; verify 'Host Name to Send' is set to "AUTO" -> click 'Next' to have YaST complete this configuration -> in Firefox, select 'Edit' and 'Preferences' -> select 'General' in the left panel, then 'Connection Settings' on the right -> verify these settings are appropriate for your environment (select 'Direct connection...' unless you're using a proxy) -> you should see 'localhost, 127.0.0.1' in the 'No Proxy for:' field -> click 'OK' -> enter 'about:config' in the main address bar. -> scroll down until you see this entry: user_pref("network.dns.disableIPv6", false); -> right-click on it and toggle it to "true" -> close and restart Firefox. -> go for a test drive and I hope you have improved results In my opinion, all things being equal, Firefox /does/ seem a smidgen slower on this machine than I expected it to be. But it's performance isn't /bad/ either -- just possibly a little disappointing after all the hype? good luck & regards! - Carl -- _______________________________________________________________________ C.

If you ask me it works better than on my windows box so I am not seeing the slowness now that you mentioned. I really appreciate it.
