SuSE 9.2, ADSL-Router-Modem Linksys WAG54G, Acer TravelMate 2350 & 802.11b/g WLAN IPN2220
by Prabu Subroto 21 May '05

21 May '05

Dear my friends, I use SuSE 9.2, ADSL-Router-Modem Linksys WAG54G, Acer TravelMate 2350 & 802.11b/g WLAN IPN2220. The WLAN card is built-in as I bought this laptop from ACER. I want to use the Linksys router as an ADSL Gateway. I use the default SSID : "linksys", and disabled the WEP. I configured the WLAN card with YaST2, it founded the WLAN card. I configured my WLAN to use DHCP client and Dynamic DNS. But the problem is: my suse can not connected to my router (+access point). If my SuSE starts, I found message: "no interface found". What was my mistake? Please tell me. Thank you very much. Yahoo! Mail Stay connected, organized, and protected. Take the tour: http://tour.mail.yahoo.com/mailtour.html

Hi all, I have a problem when i connect on my isdn ippp0 and ifup my eth0. The connection breaks and all i get in the logs is: May 21 19:07:53 marko kernel: martian source 155.239.84.218 from 155.239.88.113, on dev ippp0 May 21 19:07:53 marko kernel: ll header: 45:00:00:30:b3:6c:40:00:7b:06:67:31:9b:ef:58:71:9b:ef May 21 19:07:56 marko kernel: martian source 155.239.84.218 from 155.239.88.113, on dev ippp0 May 21 19:07:56 marko kernel: ll header: 45:00:00:30:b4:20:40:00:7b:06:66:7d:9b:ef:58:71:9b:ef May 21 19:08:30 marko kernel: martian source 155.239.84.218 from 213.95.27.115, on dev ippp0 May 21 19:08:30 marko kernel: ll header: 45:40:05:dc:ea:53:40:00:31:06:77:ec:d5:5f:1b:73:9b:ef May 21 19:08:36 marko kernel: martian source 155.239.84.218 from 155.239.136.234, on dev ippp0 As soon as i bring my eth0 down everything works again. Messages stop and the connection becomes active. Please help me out someone cause im really getting frustrated with it now. It's got nothing to do with the other pc on the network cause when i shutdown it down it same crap happens. P.S. Is there another log where i can get some more info about the connection? I've been trying to get my linux router to connect with "isdnctrl dial ippp0" and all i get is "connected to 011xxxxxxx' and then in 6-7 seconds it dosconnects again. Now im suspecting this isdn modem is faulty but where can i check if it connected at all or it was just trying to dial before i go and buy a new modem. Thanx a lot! Marko

KDEPRINTD Say what?
by Bruce Marshall 21 May '05

21 May '05

I'm trying to print an email out of kmail and keep getting an error that the process was unable to contact the kde print server KDEPRINTD. Check that this server is running. Huh? How many print servers does one need? There's CUPS and that ought to be the end of it. Moreover, I can't find any such entity (kdeprintd) as a file on my system. Kmail is the only program giving me this problem. Anyone have an idea what the problem is? SuSE 9.3 pro

Java JRE 1.5
by John Bailo 21 May '05

21 May '05

Is there a Suse 9.2 compatible JRE 1.5 RPM anywhere? The distro seems to require 1.4 or things like Konqueror don't work right. ( I installed an outside copy of 1.5 and java applets stopped working ). I need 1.5 to run azureus ( bittorrent client ).

glibc realloc() crash?
by Carlos E. R. 21 May '05

21 May '05

Hi, I got the following message: *** glibc detected *** realloc(): invalid next size: 0x08066da0 *** Aborted at the time, I was running top in an xterm in gnome; if I shrink the vertical size with the mouse a bit fast, it crashes with that message. The crash is reproducible, every time crashes.

ms-project equivalent to run under linux/samba
by mourik jan heupink 21 May '05

21 May '05

dear list. I'm writing here, because I guess some of you could have had the same problem as I'm facing right now. We have a network based on samba/ldap pdc with windows xp clients. Now all of a sudden 'they' (the boss, secretaries) decided they want ms-project. Does anyone here know an open source package that does the same? (roughly the same) Or at least something that does not (as I guess ms project does) require a native windows environment? I know this is only a bit related to suse linux, but i guess there must be many people here who can provide some insight... (maybe reply off list, so not to bother the otehr people too much with this off topic information..?) Thanks very much! mourik jan

File Associations
by Colin Carter 21 May '05

21 May '05

Hi, Newbie did a silly thing: I wanted to look into an html document, and so opened it with KWrite. Somehow I associated .html files with KWrite, which in turn means that while browsing with Konqueror I can not longer click to open .html files; in fact Konqueror gave me a message about incorrect file type association. However, I could then right click and request Open with KHTML this worked, but a drag. it open the file within a Konqueror window; but how is that possible when Konqueror stated that it didn't associate with this file type? Anyway, I opened Konqueroe and opened Settings | Associations and attempted to associate html with KHTML. Now Konqueror says KDEInit cannot locate KHTML. Ha, ha, ha! Now I'm in trouble, and I am afraid that my past M$ experience is of zero help. :-) Basically I guess that what I need to know is ho do I associate a file type with a program? Thanks for a suggestion. Colin

Who killed Windows? How resurrect?
by AD Marshall 21 May '05

21 May '05

To answer the 1st question, probably me, when i accidentally copy- pasted some text i was editing into a root prompt. Duh. Worse, i might have screwed up the original MBR by using dosfsck. But the real issue is how to get it, Windows 2000, back? Note: the Windows partition in question is still mountable and is automounted via /etc/fstab when SuSE 9.3 boots up, but i can't boot into Windows. What happened? * I tried to boot into Win2K via GRUB last night and got this response for the first time (after many previous successful boot-ups -- comments added): root (hd0,0) #<- from /boot/grub/menu.lst Filesystem is type fat, partition type 0xc chainloader+1 #<- from /boot/grub/menu.lst Boot failed * BEFORE READING at linuxquestions.org that i might be able to fix this by replacing old GRUB commands in the Windows 2000 entry in "/boot/grub/menu.lst" (above) with: rootnoverify (hd0,0) makeactive chainloader +1 boot I TRIED THIS: # unmount /dev/hda1 # dosfsck -r /dev/hda1 and was told the MBR didn't match the one "backed up" (noting there exists a file "/boot/back_mbr", 512b in size, on /dev/hda7, in my box). Then dosfsck asked if I wanted to copy the backed up MBR to the MBR (or something like that, as choice 2) or do the opposite (choice 1) . I chose 2 (and crossed my fingers -- which didn't work, yet again). * Now, i can boot into Windows but can only get a "C:\>" prompt, with a very limited command set available. "C:\boot.ini" is still there and *looks* OK, but i'm not sure what to do and am afraid to try more without knowing more. I naively tried the alternate code, above, for /boot/grub/menu.lst, but it doesn't work (now?) Thanks in advance for any help. best, Andi
