[Question] ns83820.ko
by td＠linuxgang.com 18 May '05

18 May '05

Hi, anybody here aware of this? I am using some DLink DGE-500T Gigabit NICs based on the ns chip. With Suse Linux 9.3 a fatal problem surfaces. Installing Suse 9.3 from scratch invokes the network configuration via Yast and it's scripts. This fails miserably with freezing the system. Doing all config work by hand makes the system work as usual. However, changing any sysconfig parameter via Yast (literally anything that touches the network stuff) that makes Yast start the scripts related to networking freezes the system. Only pulling the plug helps... I did some further checks and figured, that the problem already existed in Suse Linux 9.2 Professional. It's nonexistent in Suse Linux 9.1. I found no problems in using other distributions like Mandrake, Fedora or Knoppix. So I believe there is a communications breakdown between Yast and the driver..? Any hints? best regs td As a side note: Unfortunately, Suse Support is quite ignorant and behaves like a black hole. I filed two requests via their website [20050409430000676] and [20050411990000065]. One they can't find anymore. The other was forward to their office in England (the guy on the phone in Nuremberg told me because I filed it in English..! Which is what they request on their website as a favor to their international staff (!?)). The UK office has closed the ticket without further investigation... (Probably because it came from Germany!?).

Shell Permissions as User
by Stephen P. Molnar, Ph.D. 18 May '05

18 May '05

Now I am really confused. I am accustomed to being able to change from the login shell, which in the case of my 9.3 installation is the bash shell, to the C shell by entering csh in a terminal. Suddenly, if I try that I get an error message: computation@abnormal:~/CompChem/nwchem-4.7> csh /usr/bin/.: Permission denied. (csh is linked to tcsh in /usr/bin and invokes the same error message) Yet, I have a number of programs that run in the C shell. I just tried to run one of them, ecce, and it still works. I have written a script that starts the server: #!/bin/csh /home/computation/ecce-v3.2.2/server/ecce-utils/start_ecce_server So apparently the script will evoke the C shell. If I change to root I can switch to the C shell. How can I, once again, accomplish this as a user? Thanks in advance. -- Stephen P.

mc in 9.3 doesn't show files in an rpm
by Joe Morris (NTM) 18 May '05

18 May '05

Just to verify that the problem is not just on my machine, can anyone see the files inside an rpm with the mc in 9.3. I always found that handy, and am disappointed that just after installing 9.3, that no longer works in my mc. It appears to open but no files. -- Joe Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris(a)ntm.org Registered Linux user 231871

What encrypted filesystem is used?
by David Kramer 18 May '05

18 May '05

NB: I don't have 9.3 installed yet, so I can't look at docs on the installed system. In the book and on the web, they just call it an encrypted filesystem, but don't give any technical details. What is the filesystem called? What kind of encryption does it use? Where can I read more about it? Thanks in advance,

I did a Yast update on my 9.2 system, and once again one user can not launch a browser. The last time I was informed it was something to do with a gcc update, but I deleted the info. So, bing as I grew up in the 60-70's, most brain cells are gone, and I can not remember the rpm I had to install (backup) to to fix it. Anyone out there able to help? Blushingly yours, Harry G

[SLE] Help, cdrom not working with 9.3, is it a bug ?
by Catimimi 18 May '05

18 May '05

Hello, I've a system with 3 SCSI CD or DVD units : - sr0 : /dev/dvd - sr1 : /dev/cdrecorder (dvd recorder) - sr2 : /dev/cdrom The three units worked well with SuSE 9.2 and earlier. I made a fresh install of SuSE 9.3 the three units are created with the same names, but /dev/cdrom is not working and during boot I get error merrages like : cdrom: open failed I made a lot of digging and discovered that udev (?) creates names for the cd and dvd units and that these names are stored in the folder /dev/cdrom which conflicts with the sr2 symbolic link !!! I didn't find how to change onr of these two conflicting names. Had someone the same problem and/or the answer, or have I to report a bug ? Thanks in advance. Michel PS: I temporarily got cdrom to work by destroying the cdrom folder and recreating the link, I get error messages since udev is not able to record the names created but it works.

SuSE / Novell Patch System on 9.3
by Jason Snyder 18 May '05

18 May '05

Introduction: I have been a Linux user since 1996 and I have used numerous distros starting with Slackware way back in 96'. Back then I was in high school and had plenty of time to just tinker around. Now a days I just try to cut down to the meat of what I want to do (which is not tinkering around for days on end trying to get basic function) and have a system that is for the most part self configuring and managing. Meat: I installed SuSE 9.3 multiple times on my test box. I did some reviewing of my failed installs and I found if I didn't patch the system it would come up though the few things I did try were broken. As soon as I patched things got much worse. The first round the window manager (KDE) got all screwed up. (I thought SuSE was supposed to be you select a window manager and it always comes up afterward, not root around and try to figure out how they broke it every time a new patch comes down the pike.) Then a little later when I re-installed and patched it got screwed up to the point where it wouldn't even load the kernel into memory. (So much for SuSE's automatic grub reconfiguration or whatever went wrong.) Summary: This is just way too many problems that SuSE 9.2 didn't have and it makes me a little uneasy that there are multiple globably non user friendly problems in their patches. Also there seems to be a pattern going from more broken initial release, then progressively more badly broken patches afterwards. Whatever happened to regression testing or at least testing a patch to see if it works?

The Fans, The FANS,
by John Andersen 18 May '05

18 May '05

Is there any package I can install (SuSE 9.3) to control these howling fans that I have in this new machine? The machine has 4 fans (all three wire) and under windows they are controlled by the system so as not to run full blast all the time. There must be something in SuSE to do the same one would think. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen

Finaly a Virus or another anomaly, --Kmail hangs on five emails and subsequently quits
by Constant Brouerius van Nidek 17 May '05

17 May '05

Going through my sorted emails from the Suse list the curser hanged on an email with the subject line Re[2]: [SLE] Installing on a laptop. After approx 5 seconds Kmail quitted. After restart the same occurred when I reached this email. After having removed the offending email from my Suse folder with midnight commander I discovered four other emails with the same effect. They all had a cryptographic signature and they all had to do with Sean Rima. I still have an email with a strange header -Re: Re[2]: [SLE] installing on a laptop- but this email is not a problem. The problem seems to be neutralized. This is the first time I have seen this behavior on my Suse box (9.0) and I hope it is the last time;-). I have the problematic files in a temporary directory. Anybody with more grips about emails who want to have a look just tell me and they will be expedited.

Sending fax from KdeprintFax

USB hotplug nightmare
by Sunny 17 May '05

17 May '05

Hi, I happily "converted" a whole friends family to SuSE :) So far, so good. They are good with it, and have no problems whatsoever. Of course, part of the "deal" was, that it'll be easily for me to help them and support their machine (remotely) :) So, this is good as well, I can and I do this. But a problem appeared, and because they are not "geeks", I asked them not to use the root account, and to let me deal with everything which needs root access. And ... they bought an mp3 player Sandisk. The problem is, that it is recognized by the system (I see in dmesg that it is assigned to sda1), but it does not create mount points, and does not mount it automatically. On my own 9.1 whenever I plug it in, it pops up konqi with the files, but it does not happen on the 9.2. machine. Suddenly today, after my friend plugged it, it have started the partitioner?!?!? I got desktop sharing, and logged in, entered the root password, and saw, that it just have created an entry in the list for /dev/sda and /dev/sda1, with no mount point and FAT16 filesystem. I added a mount point /media/mp3, and applied the changes. The result was, that /media/mp3 directory was created, but no mounting ocured. And no entry in fstab was created either. I played with sysconfig entries for hotplug, switching yes/no the _MOUNT entry, changing _MOUNT_TYPE to fstab and subfs. Nothing of these worked. I.e., unplugging/plugging the device works OK at kernel point of view (I see the messages in dmesg) but no mount points. And I do not want my friends to start using su, mount ... just for this. I guess, I miss something easy, but I do not know what. Any help will be highly appreciated. Cheers Sunny

RE: [SLE] Tiny fonts again

Do you think that this could also be an issue for Kylix from Borland? I installed 9.3, then installed Kylix. The fonts were very tiny, plus sizes of tabs, etc., were messed up making Kylix unusable. Finally had to reinstall 9.2 in order to be able to use it. There are some things about 9.3 that I really like, but still have to be able to use Kylix for development. -----Original Message----- From: Felix Miata [mailto:mrmazda@ij.net] Sent: Tuesday, May 17, 2005 6:23 AM To: suse-linux-e(a)suse.com Subject: Re: [SLE] Tiny fonts again Vladimir Niksic wrote: > I have had the same problem with a new 19" monitor on 1600x1200.

If you're using a GTK1 mozilla.org version, switch to a gtk2+xft version. The problem is that in distro releases that include xft/fontconfig, there is more than one system DPI.

Cups daemon died during initialization
by Ryan McCain 17 May '05

17 May '05

SUSE 9.2 Pro. When I go into YAST I get this after clicking on the printer icon: Cups daemon died during initialization My first step at troubleshooting this was to do this: linux:/etc/cups # /etc/init.d/cups start Starting cupsd done linux:/etc/cups # cupsd: Child exited with status 98! linux:/etc/cups # ..As you can see I couldn't start cups from the shell either. I've spent about 20 minutes googling and looking over the list, but cant seem to find a resolution to this problem. Printing did work fine at one time. I'm not sure if I updated a cups related package via red-carpet, or if this just happened out of the blue. Any ideas? Thanks, Ryan

Printer pause
by Hans du Plooy 17 May '05

17 May '05

Hi list, On a SUSE 9.2 File/print server, I have problem that for some reason, the printers are paused every now and then. For no apparent reason. Both are USB printers, one a Designjet 500 (set up as a raw queue, windows drivers installed on the clients), and a OfficeJet D145 (Yast picks this one up correctly). Both print perfectly fine for a couple of days, then all of a sudden the printer queue box on windows says printer is paused, and in the cups interface it is paused/stopped, and I have to start it again. Any ideas why? Also, is there a command that would start/restart the respective queues? Thanks -- Hans du Plooy SagacIT (Pty) Ltd hansdp at sagacit dot com

Thanks for the help. I checked .xsession-errors and found a lot of java errors like these: Ignoring error: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Width (-1) and height (-1) cannot be <= 0 (that was a mozilla error) And this: Something went wrong with LimeWire. Maybe you're using the wrong version of Java? (LimeWire is tested against and works best with with Sun's JRE, Java 1.4+) The version of Java in your PATH is: java version "1.4.2_06" Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_06-b03) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2_06-b03, mixed mode) YAST tells me that I have Java version 1.4.2.129-10 so is that maybe the problem ? I also dont have kdebindings3-java or kdebindings3-javascript installed.

NLD look and feel for 9.3?
by jasonrkr＠charter.net 17 May '05

17 May '05

Hi Group. Is it possible to get the look and feel of NLD9 on SuSE 9.3? I realize it's a petty request, but I really prefer the look of GNOME's desktop and icons to those of KDE. I think NLD9 has a smooth and professional look. I like it so much I purchased a copy, but it's lack of support for 3D on my video card, and a few other issues, made it a little too difficult to use as a home desktop (I'd like to get as much performance as I can from my hardware). I purchased SuSE 9.3 Pro, which is a great distro, and hope that someone in this group can help me. Thanks in advance. Jason

KMail minor questions
by Jerry Feldman 16 May '05

16 May '05

The first question is how do I get kmail to rescan its folders. The kmail icon shows a few unread messages, but going to the next unread message does not work which would indicate to me that ether there are some unread messages, but the folder navigation does not detect them, or that there are no unread messages, and the icon is displaying a bogus number. The other question is that clicking on a URL is intermittent at best. A coworker is having the same problem and says a reboot solved the problem.

Laptop and Intel 2200BG
by Joe Zitnik 16 May '05

16 May '05

I have a Micron Laptop running Suse Professional 9.1. It has a Intel centrino 2200bg NIC. I went to the sourceforge page for installing this NIC, downloaded the latest firmware and driver files. I placed the firmware files in the correct location, and ran the make for the driver. I know I must be missing a step. How do I get the card to appear as one of my options under the networking devices in YAST? Please be gentle, I'm still learning on this stuff.

starting beagled and best on login to Suse 9.3

Tried several things like chkconfig, but no success. I would like to start the beagled daemon and best automatically on login. Since beagled has to run as the user along with best, it has to be after the login. What file would I add these commands to so they would start automatically on login? TIA Art

YaST Samba Module
by Donald D Henson 16 May '05

16 May '05

I'm having loads of trouble with the YaST Samba module. It seems that changes don't always get posted to smb.conf. A specific instance is that I tried to change security = user to security = share using "Expert Global Settings" in YaST. After finishing, I reopened YaST and found that security was still set to user. I exited YaST and made the change manually in /etc/samba/smb.conf and the security mode changed to share like it's supposed to. However, YaST still shows the security mode to be user. I also had problems with setting up my shares using YaST. I eventually just went directly to smb.conf and set everything up there. I guess I'm not really asking for technical help but, rather, where the heck do I report something like this? I don't seem to be able to find a YaST bugzilla (is there one?) and this doesn't really qualify as a SuSE support request. Any reasonable suggestions will be appreciated. -- Donald D.

lost kdm after upgrade
by steve 16 May '05

16 May '05

Hi. After a successful upgrade from 9.2 to 9.3, I've lost the nice kdm login screen with avatars of the users on it. Yast sysconfig editor still shows kdm as the login manager but the KDE control center has no effect upon it. All I have is a 2 line username and password form against the SuSE splash screen. Any ideas how to get back? Cheers, Steve.
