Suse 9.2 not responding to ssh
by Smugzilla 29 Jun '05

29 Jun '05

I've got a single Suse 9.2 box in a home network with two fedora boxes. Since installation, the suse box has not responded to ssh requests from the other two machines, although it can send outgoing ssh requests successfully. I'm using the default sshd_config file except that the protocol has been set to "2" instead of the default "2,1". Here's the output to the message log on the suse machine when I try to login: Jun 28 22:14:24 leela kernel: SFW2-INext-DROP-DEFLT IN=eth0 OUT=MAC=00:11:5b:c5:5c:2c:00:0a:48:08:bb:4e:08:00 SRC=192.168.2.11 DST=192.168.2.12 LEN=60 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=33501 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=33288 DPT=22 WINDOW=5840 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0 OPT (020405B40402080A00D0403B0000000001030302) What am I missing to get the sshd service working right? 'ps -e' shows a running ssh daemon.

Anyone have any luck with this speaker setup? (slight correction)
by JB 29 Jun '05

29 Jun '05

Hey gang, Has anyone had any luck getting all 6 speakers of a Logitech Z-640 system working? If so, what sound card are you using? I've checked hardware compatibility, and my Audigy2 Value isn't supported (though it does work with 3 speakers, the 2 front (or rear?) and the bass), but I've read some folk here say the Audigy2 ZS Platinum Pro has worked, I think. I've got the latest ALSA drivers on this 9.3 system and it made no difference. Thanks for any feedback. John B.

uucp over pppd
by Chadley Wilson 29 Jun '05

29 Jun '05

Greetings, I have read through all the documentation on uucp. I seem to lack some understanding. If I setup uucp using hdb_config and scout. I can uucp a file to a system and when uucico is invoked it copies, Now one of the biggest problems we face with uucp, is it seems to be unstable. Here is why, over 500 sites using dialup (uucico) to transfer data back to our server, we have close 30 calls a week saying data has not been updated, We have been pulling the PCs back to our head office for months, We check the configuration we test it is works perfectly. We send the PC back to the client and it won't transfer. So we naturally go there and see. Every thing is fine, and nothing has changed, What I have discovered is that the Line is always busy with uucico, and by repeating the command over and over it eventually dials, connects and transfers. What I would like to know is could some one assist me with a uucico over ppp setup please, -- -- Chadley Wilson Production Line Superintendant Pinnacle Micro Manufacturers of Proline Computers ==================================== Exercise freedom, Use LINUX =====================================

Hi all I stumbled across this website: http://pctech101.com/products.php?cat=221 selling Suse 9.3 professional for just 12 bucks. Is this legal? If so, how come they can sell 9.3 at those prices? Regards, Dan

Just installed timidity to play some old midi files I had laying around. It mostly works but many of the files result in messages like these: No instrument mapped to drum set 0, program 57 - this instrument will not be heard No instrument mapped to drum set 0, program 84 - this instrument will not be heard Is there some way to fix this?

9.3 - problem after hard disk change for backup
by Ulf Rasch 29 Jun '05

29 Jun '05

Hello list, I just changed to the backup media hard disk. Two identical discs with one partition do the job. That works so far but every time I change the disk (its a hotplug hard disk) the system fails to mount or check the filesystem. It seems that somehow the system sees another disk id and then just doesn't doesn't want to mount anymore. So far I could solve the problem with writing the partition table again of the new disk with fdisk as rebooting is not an option. Seems that this triggers to set the device (/dev/sdc1 in my case) correctly again. As the backup script should run without any interaction this is far from a solution. How can I force that the device is set correctly again after a hard disk change. I am not very familiar with the whole hotplug system of linux so any hint would be really appreciated. Thanks Ulf

Backup compare
by suse_gasjr4wd＠mac.com 29 Jun '05

I asked this on another suse list some time ago... didn't like the response. ;) What are most of you folks running to stream to tape? I'm looking to replace Retrospect on mac...I've got 5.0 now and testing retro 7 on XP. I am trying to mirror our main file server on OSX to our SuSE box, so maybe we can just keep the linux box going as the main file server... I'm not sure about the new 10.4, but mac support for scsi cards hasn't been great as of late. All my cards that ran on OS9 don't run with OSX. And now reading the latest gripes with the 2.6 Linux kernel doesn't give me the "warm and fuzzies". Anything good (software) on the Linux side? (yea, I've looked at the 9.0 and 9.2 CD's but nothing jumped out as great) *What are you guys running that works, and has a good restore history? ________________________________________ I know I can "upgrade" my retro to version 6 (mac) for $200, or version 7 (winblows) for $50 (yea, you read that right) but I'm not sure I want another winblows box just to stream to backup. Retrospect hasn't been too great in the past. Kinda like Quark. [yes, we also backup to disk - a internal ftp box, and a few external drives...but you ever drop a external drive v.s. dropping a tape? I would rather drop a tape.] -- Thanks, George ``Badges? We ain't got no badges! We don't need no badges! I don't have to show you any stinking badges!'', ``The Treasure of the Sierra Madre,'' 1948.

Trying to get my SCSI to work
by J. Scott Thayer, M.D. 29 Jun '05

29 Jun '05

The following is what hwinfo reports. It shows that I have a SCSI controller. It appears that it is not configured. My thought is that the wrong driver was selected during my install since this worked just fine under 8.0. I have 2 Jaz drives connected to the controller. I would appreciate any help I can get here. SCSI is briefly mentioned in dmesg, just saying it is configured but I doubt that since there is no mention of the connected drives and there was under 8.0. Thanks. 19: PCI 0a.0: 0100 SCSI storage controller [Created at pci.273] Unique ID: bSAa.8Wc+vtM+OBC SysFS ID: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:0a.0 SysFS BusID: 0000:00:0a.0 Hardware Class: storage Model: "Advanced ASC1300 SCSI Adapter" Vendor: pci 0x10cd "Advanced System Products, Inc" Device: pci 0x1300 "ABP940-U / ABP960-U" SubVendor: pci 0x10cd "Advanced System Products, Inc" SubDevice: pci 0x1310 "ASC1300 SCSI Adapter" Revision: 0x03 I/O Ports: 0xdc00-0xdcff (rw) Memory Range: 0xdf000000-0xdf0000ff (rw,non-prefetchable) Memory Range: 0x00000000-0x0000ffff (ro,prefetchable,disabled) IRQ: 11 (576 events) Config Status: cfg=no, avail=yes, need=no, active=unknown

Re: [SLE] Sound card problems with SuSE Linux 9.3 Professional
by Braun Brelin 28 Jun '05

Hm...Given that the sound card is integrated on the motherboard, will there be any bus conflicts if I install an Audigy card?
