Hello all! I want to upgrade from Suse 9.2 to 9.3 over the FTP install. I guess I only need the first CD then? Where can i get the iso images for Suse 9.3? (some fast server) Thanks for the help. Scorpy

Installation of SuSE 9.2 on an older Box
by Martin Deppe 01 May '05

01 May '05

Dear Listmembers, I tried to install SuSE 9.2 on the following machine unsuccessful: BIOS Report is as follows: Pentium MMX, 166 MHz 192 MB main memory Primary Master Maxtor 91360U4 (13.6 GB) Primary Slave Maxtor 92732U8 (27.3 GB) Secondary <none> Card-01 OPL3-SAX Sound Board Adaptec AHA-2930CU SCSI BIOS v1.34.1 SCSI ID: 4 TEAC CD-R55S SCSI BIOS Not installed A report of "yast2 hwinfo" (SuSE 9.0) is also available (~80 Kb). The installation of SuSE 9.2 hangs at the following last line: >>> SUSE Linux installation program v1.7.17 (c) 1996-2004 SUSE LINUX AG <<< The last thing I could see it doing, was changing the Font on the Textscreen. After that it is doing nothing anymore. That even happens when I try to install it by using "Installation (save settings)" in "Text Mode". Can anybody give me some advice how to get SuSE 9.2 installed on this box, please? Best regardss Martin

Hi. Have just installed SuSE 9.3. Installed Mozilla Mailer, and have the Alertmessage shown on: http://www.urbakken.dk/alert.png. I have copied my Mozilla Mailers's mailcontent from SuSE 9.2.

init script help
by Sunny 01 May '05

01 May '05

Hi, I'm trying to run my RAID adapter monitoring tool. Unfortunately, Dell provide this tool only for RedHat. Eitherway, I installed this rpm and it is running good on SuSE 9.3. Now I want to make it integrate good with the system. So, using the skeleton, and the original script provided with the rpm, I created something ... which is not working really OK. It starts the service, but the status and the stop parts are ... well, I'm not a scripting guy at all :) So, from the RH script, they start the service with: daemon MegaCtrl -start ans stop it with daemon MegaCtrl -stop /usr/sbin/MegaCtrl is a symlink to /usr/sbin/MegaCt32, which is binary executable. After starting the service from CLI with: #MegaCtrl -start the service is started, and ps aux | grep Meg produces: linux:/home/sunny # ps aux | grep Meg root 13715 0.0 0.0 1340 488 ? Ds 10:49 0:00 /usr/sbin/MegaServ MegaCtrl So, it seems that the real executable is MegaServ, and it breaks how all the SuSE init subroutines like killproc, rc_status, etc. work. As I said, I'm not a scripting guy, neither I have used RH, so I do not know what daemon command in their script does and how it works, so I can implement a similar functionality for my SuSE init script. I understand that maybe the info provided is not enough, and I have only these binaries, so I have no control over them, but any help will be highly appreciated. Attached is the script I created. As and addition, if I invoke this script with "start" it starts the service, but reports failed. So I guess there is a collision in how startproc and rc_status work and query the status. And it can not stop the service. Any suggestions how to change it are very welcome. Or, would you suggest that just starting this tool from boot.local (even if it is not "beautiful") is an option? Cheers Sunny

Hosting my webpage
by Chaitanya Krishna A 01 May '05

01 May '05

hi all, I want to host my home page from my computer. Any guidance as to how this can be achieved is very much welcome. I want to know where to put my index.html and how to access the web page from the net. I think something like setting up the web server is involved. What do I need to type in the browser to get to my home page after it is hosted? I am on SuSE 9.1 Pro. Thanks for any help Chaitanya. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

9.3 and Mouse Settings not permanent
by Mike McMullin 01 May '05

Has anyone noticed that their mouse settings under 9.3 are not persistent? The system doesn't seem to know there's a mouse attached when it reboots or when you log out and log back in.

Can't Boot Laptop with 9.3
by Dom Incollingo 01 May '05

01 May '05

Hello, I installed 9.3 on an HP ZD7000 laptop about a week ago. (I previously had 9.2 on the laptop for about 2 months with no problems.) Apart from several annoying problems with Gnome, 9.3 seemed to be working fine. This morning I tried to reboot the laptop. But the laptop will not boot. It gets midway through the boot process and it shuts itself off. I've tried booting the laptop 5 times, but the same thing happened each time. Before the boot process stops, I notice messages indicating that the "filesystem is not clean". How can I diagnose/correct this problem? Is there a way to determine if this if my system got corrupted or if this is a hardware failure? If the system is corrupted, can I fix it without re-installing? Thanks very much. Dom

Eclipse Update Manager broken?
by Mike McCallister 01 May '05

01 May '05

Hi folks! I've been playing a little bit with Eclipse 3.0. I installed it on my SUSE 9.2 system with YaST, but when I try to update to Eclipse SDK v3.0.2 through the Eclipse Update Manager, it won't complete the process. It appears to connect, download and verify the updated files, but quits when trying to install a file. Error message reads: Unable to complete action for feature "Eclipse Project SDK" due to errors. Unable to complete action for feature "Eclipse Platform" due to errors. Unable to create file "/usr/share/eclipse/plugins/org.apache.ant_1.6.2/META-INF/MANIFEST1114897983762.MF".

I'm running Eclipse as the User, as I would expect to.

9.3 kernel on a 9.2 system
by Ken Schneider 01 May '05

01 May '05

Has anyone installed the 9.3 kernel along side the 9.2 kernel on a 9.2 system? Are there any problems that may be incurred doing this? I loaded the 9.3 live DVD and there seemed to be better support for a couple of the pieces of hardware that I have and just wanted to try it before downloading/installing the 9.3 FTP version. I would buy 9.3 but as I am disabled/retired money has become very tight for me. I have purchased all versions up to 9.1 and prefer using SuSE linux.
