Refresh DHCP server
by Arie Reynaldi Z 24 Jun '05

24 Jun '05

Hi, I have a DHCP + DNS server running suse 9.1, and couple of linux dekstop with windows desktop. can ping all of my desktop (linux & windows) using their name + domain (eg. comp1.domain.info). Right now, I just add another ethernet card in my linux desktop. When I boot it, I notice it changes the IP address, from 192.127.0.202 to 192.127.0.241. But when I try to ping the machine, it names is comp3.domain.info, it still pointing to older IP. I have restart dhcpd and named but still no luck. So I have to change manually in /var/lib/named/dyn/domain.info and /var/lib/named/dyn/0.127.192-domain so comp3 is pointed to 192.127.0.241. Is there any easier way, so I dont have to changes manually ? I notice the TTL is 12 hours, how can I change so it can recognice any changes faster ? regards, -- Arie Reynaldi Zanahar reymanx at gmail.com http://www.reynaldi.or.id

The hardware sites say it's one of the better supported motherboards. NO IRQ errors, no PCI errors.

I'll work on that and get back in touch, and keep watching the list in hope that someone else recognizes my symptoms. jp

Older message headers from SLE have From: some.person@wherever Reply-To: suse-linux-e(a)suse.com To: suse-linux-e@ suse.com at the end. My messages, and yours and Sid's, have Reply-To to the author, or no Reply-To field at all, then To: suse-linux-e@ suse.com at the end. This must have happened at the list server, right? Don't all the list messages go through there? I don't see how I could have changed anything in Thunderbird that would affect the headers coming from suse? I worked around it for this message by copying and pasting the To: field and deleting the Reply-To: field. I'll watch that in the future. But is there anything else I can do? If I just copy and paste the message I'm responding to into a new "To:" message, won't that break the threading? >As for your output...

I'm sure I have something misconfigured, but what? jp

I can't get my USB devices to work
by John Perry 24 Jun '05

24 Jun '05

I just upgraded from 9.0 to 9.2, hoping that my USB problems would be solved this way. I get exactly the same results. Whether for my SanDisk Cruzer 512 or my Palm Zire 31, when I plug the device in, I get no response on my desktop, and /var/log/messages says Jun 23 20:07:20 linux kernel: usb 2-2: new full speed USB device using address2 Jun 23 20:07:20 linux kernel: usb 2-2: device not accepting address 2, error -71 several times. I can't find anything about this in the manuals or HOWTO's. (Actually, my Logitech trackball just plugged in and went. But it did that in 9.0 and Mandrake, too). How can I get past this, so I can start trouble shooting the things the manuals talk about? John Perry

PhoneSkype USB Phone SK-04. It gets detected, is registered in /sys/bus/usb as a Key Pad.

RE: [SLE] Copying file while adding preffix
by Shinn, Rob (R.A.) 23 Jun '05

23 Jun '05

The only thing I could think of would be to write a shell script that uses find(1) and sed(1) or perhaps perl or python. You'd parse the output from 'find <dir> -name "*"' and insert your prefix after the last '/' in the path. -----Original Message----- From: Andrei Verovski (aka MacGuru) [mailto:andreil1@starlett.lv] Sent: Thursday, June 23, 2005 4:44 PM To: suse-linux-e(a)suse.com Subject: [SLE] Copying file while adding preffix Hi, Someone can suggest me how to recursively copy files from a given directory while adding preffix to the copies in destination dir?

Several strange/tiny man-pages on SUSE 9.1...
by pelibali 23 Jun '05

23 Jun '05

Hi, On my SUSE 9.1 system there are plenty of smaller man-files laying in various subfolders of /usr/share/man/. Midnight Commander doesn't display them, just dies with an error, but from command-line with "man x whatever" all of these files look OK! What they are? I mean in which format and why they are so small? Why mc could have serious problem with them? > <standard input>:1: can't open `man3p/select.3p': No such file or > directory > lines ?-?/? (END) (At least select.3p.gz wus there...) Few further examples: --------------------------------------------------------> -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 47 Apr 3 2004 _Exit.3p.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 47 Apr 3 2004 _exit.3p.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 53 Apr 3 2004 _longjmp.3p.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 50 Apr 3 2004 FD_CLR.3p.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 52 Apr 3 2004 FD_ISSET.3p.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 50 Apr 3 2004 FD_SET.3p.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 51 Apr 3 2004 FD_ZERO.3p.gz Thanks, Pelibali

2nd user logging in has no ability to use mplayer
by Paul Cartwright 23 Jun '05

23 Jun '05

well, this is probably the same issue I had before, but a different application. My wife rebooted my PC and when she logs in first, I am not able to do things, without being root. Before it was burning CD's, now it is using mplayer. the screen pops up, then disappears. I can drop to a konsole, su to root, run mplayer and that works, but not as a user. I know if I reboot and log in first, the issue will disappear. Is there some master file that stops the 2nd user logging in from running things???? -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800 X-Request-PGP: http://home.comcast.net/~p.cartwright/wsb/key.asc
