Suse 9.3 & Dell Latitude D810
by Travis Barlow 21 May '05

21 May '05

Hello All Due to a recent company switch I have become the owner of a new Dell Latitude D810. I have installed Suse 9.3 Professional with no troubles, however I have one issue which became apparent after the install. For some reason I cannot access my cdrom. The error I receive is, Unable to mount the selected volume, mount:only root can mount /dev/cdrom on /media/cdrom. Now, I have tried mount the volume as root with the same error message. I have been googling for more information, and have asked around locally, but I seem to be the only one with this issue. Suse recognizes the drive correctly as a TSSTcorp CDRW/DVD TSL462C and the only thing different from my last laptop besides the name is that the Dell has SATA interfaces. The Disk Controller is a Dell 8280 1FBM (ICH6M) SATA Controller using module ata_piix. Any pointers would be great at this point. Thanks and best regards, Travis Barlow Linux poses a real challenge for those with a taste for late-night hacking (and/or conversations with God). (By Matt Welsh)

Viewing DVD Movies
by Joseph Loo 21 May '05

21 May '05

I have been trying to find a place where I can get the sytem to run DVD movies on a Athlon 64 running SUS 9.3 x86_64. I have tried loading the libdecss2 64 bit version and have no luck at this time. I have searched the net and found different ways of doing it but most of it seem to apply to 32 bit version. Is there a place where I can get a more definitive method to do it? -- Joseph Loo jloo(a)acm.org

Re: [SLE] Sendmail Relaying

Such as me sending mail thru your machine to my friend in France. Me sending mail to your machine to Your Mailbox is not relaying. Outbound mail is relaying. Someone on your local network sends mail thru your machine to his friend in France. Clearly the friend in France has no mail account on your machine. Therefore, the source (sender) has to be specifically authorized to send via your machine. That's why the lines: 192.168 RELAY are needed. (where 192.168 is merely an example here). Now you on your laptop on vacation want to send mail. But you don't have an account at in Iceland where you like to go on vacation, so how do you send mail? You could use AOL, but that would suck. You can't open your server to accept connections from just anywhere because every spammer in the world would own your machine. So you install something like STARTLS to authorize specific connections that are able to authenticate themselves to your mail server in order to be authorized to send mail thru your server where ever you are. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen

is lvm on top of raid, possible?
by Richard Bos 21 May '05

21 May '05

Should the following be possible: make a raid-1 with 2 disks, on top of that put lvm and after that create some filesystems in the volume group. I especially wonder about the lvm on top of the raid. I tried to do that with yast, but yast does not seem to be able to do that. I can configure the raid, I can go to create lvm -> but it shows the only the physical devices and not the raid. Is this a limit in yast? Is there a workaround? -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless

Restarting options in SuSE 9.3 & KDE 3.4
by James Knott 21 May '05

21 May '05

I seem to recall reading, that with SuSE 9.3, you could restart the computer and boot into another OS. Also, when you log out from KDE, the "Restart" option appears as a drop down box, but clicking on it causes the system to shut down for a reboot. Is that where you're supposed to select the other OS? If so, how do you configure it, so that it works? tnx jk

no nfs sever for 9.1
by Dave Driscoll 21 May '05

21 May '05

Hi, Trying to get nfs server working. Nfs client works but when I try to export a directory to the machine that serves nfs mounts to the suse machine it times out without connecting. I have opened up permissions (chmod 777) on the directory I want to export. I've tried to mount with both Yast and command line. I've tried variaous entries in /etc/exports. portmap and rpc.mountd are both running. rpc.nfsd does not seem to run as a daemon. I have tried rcnfsserver restart and running it directly from the command line and it appears to exit immediately with no error messages. Does anyone know the magic word or have some suggestions for how to trouble-shoot this? Thanks, Dave Driscoll
