Suse 9.3 behaving strangly
by Chadley Wilson 14 Jun '05

14 Jun '05

Greetings I can't put my finger on this one! I load plenty of PCs and my dhcp is working perfectly (Fedora suse9 9.1 9.2 etc even a gentoo box and a centos box, With 9.3 it takes a good 10 minutes after boot-up before the system finally gets an IP address from the server. I have tried disabling the Susefirewall but it does exactly the same.. Any ideas as to what could be causing this. Please note that it is not one PC I have lots of them doing it? All were loaded manually (one by one) Thanks Chadley

Screen corruption - faulty hardware?
by Pieter Hulshoff 14 Jun '05

14 Jun '05

Hello all, I'm currently suffering from the following problem: At a certain point in time, the screen will start to shake a little bit, becoming worse, and then start to corrupt, and will eventually lock up. This can take as little as a few seconds to a few minutes. This is independent of the OS. I've tested the RAM, have tried it with a different PSU, and a different graphics card: no luck so far. Any idea what might cause this? Regards, Pieter Hulshoff

About all the test mails to the list
by Anders Johansson 14 Jun '05

14 Jun '05

There doesn't have to be 15-20 mail with 'test' or 'is the list down' There is an archive at lists.suse.com/archive. If there hasn't been a new entry there, odds are the list is down. There is a test list, which you can subscribe to at test-list-subscribe(a)suse.com - if you can't, odds are the list server is malfunctioning, or you will get an error message explaining what the problem is. There is an admin, who doesn't always monitor this list, but whom you can make aware of any problems at suse-linux-e-owner(a)suse.com, assuming it's a local suse-linux-e problem, or ml-admin(a)suse.com if it's a general list server problem.

SUSE 9.3 - /dev/lp0 not working
by MJang 13 Jun '05

13 Jun '05

Folks, I'm having trouble getting the parallel port working with SUSE 9.3 (for a HP LaserJet 4L printer). I've tried the available settings in my BIOS. This is on a Sony GR290 laptop, in a triple boot with RHEL 4 WS and Windows XP. Printing through the parallel port works fine under Windows XP and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 WS. A lsmod reveals parport_pc 38212 0 parport 33864 1 parport_pc Yup, lp is missing. I try a modprobe lp which temporarily gets lp in the lsmod list, with lp 11076 0 parport_pc 38212 0 parport 33864 2 lp,parport_pc But it disappears when I try the YaST installer. For some reason, the CUPS interface isn't working as expected; the root / root password doesn't seem to get into the associated admnistrative interface. Perhaps a hint here could help too. Thanks, Mike

Anyone else having Konqi crash in Yahoo mail?
by JB 13 Jun '05

13 Jun '05

It's crashing only once in a while and only while looking at mail (I have a feeling it's a certain ad or type of ad, but have no way to tell). I've saved a copy of the crash handler thing, but figured I'd ask if anyone else is having similar problems before I send it to the KDE folks. (Using stock 9.3 all updated through YOU, by the way).
