SLES9 autoinstall error
by Ajay Mulwani 18 Jun '05

18 Jun '05

Hello, I am using the network installation method to install SLES9 and providing an nfs path to the autoinst.xml file. Now the two issues that I am facing with all/ any of my installations are: 1. The system displays the following error: "Your computer does not fulfill all requirements for a graphical installation.There is less than 96MB memory or the X server could not be started. As a fallback, the text found-end of YaST will guide you through the installation. This front-end offers the same functionality as the graphical one, but the screens differ from those in the manual." ... and the entire installation is in text mode. 2. After displaying the message in (1) above; when autoyast tries to read the control (autoinst.xml) file; it truncates the path to that file then asks for the same path again which was correctly defined at the PXE "boot:" prompt. Once the path to autoinst.xml is entered again the entire installation goes fine unattended in text mode and the system comes up with graphics/ video correctly configured. Any suggestions to resolve these issues will be highly appreciated. Thank you, Ajay

Clock and 9.1
by Steven Pasternak 18 Jun '05

18 Jun '05

Hi! I use 9.1 and the stupid clock won't use normal local time, no matter how many times I tell it to use Local Time, it is still using UTC. Right now it is 8:31 PM where I live, but the clock says that it is 20:31. Am I doing something wrong, or is it a bug? If it is a bug, is it fixed in 9.3, because I ordered a copy and am waiting for it to arive. Thanks! -Steven

High CPU usage for X
by Hamish 17 Jun '05

17 Jun '05

Hello I am having some troubles with X and its CPU usage, it seems to spike every few seconds, this is causing other things to slow down a bit. Has anyone seen this? I remember someone saying something about suseplugger causing this, but even with it stopped, CPU usage is still spikey, with X spiking up to about 40% CPU usage. PS its SuSE9.3 ia386 Thanks, H

install apache
by Roni Warken 17 Jun '05

I have looked for some packages which I could install apache from the DVD disk (that one Novell submitted to all over the world last year). So, I saw there are 6 or 7 rpm files. Which one I must choose to install? Or where I found some docs about those rpm files? -- Roni Warken

$KDEDIRS?
by Steven Pasternak 17 Jun '05

17 Jun '05

Hi! I use SuSE 9.1 (kde 3.2.1) and want to compile kde 3.4.1. I have compiled kde 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, and 3.4 in the past on other distros, so I am not completely new to this procedure. I noticed tha SuSE installs kde in /opt/kde3, but has overriding icons and config files in /etc/opt/kde3. For example, /opt/kde3/share/icons/crystalsvg/128x128/apps has a kmenu.png icon, the kde default, and /etc/opt/kde3/share/icons/crystalsvg/128x128/apps has a kmenu.png, which is a lizard head, and is the kmenu icon. If I delete the lizard head, the icon goes back to the /opt/kde3/.../kmenu.png. I have seen the variable $KDEDIRS pop up in the past, but it isn't set in this case for me. How could I tell the kde I am going to compile to install in /opt/kde3, and look in but not write to /etc/opt/kde3 like SuSE has it? Do I need a patch for kde? Thanks! -Steven

Hi folks, With M$ I.E. I used to go to a web site and do "Make available off-line" which would copy the current page plus pages linked down to as many levels as I wanted. Now that I have moved to Linux, can somebody please tell me how to do the same under Konqueror? Regards, Colin

Default sound device setting?
by Sid Boyce 17 Jun '05

17 Jun '05

I have an on-board card and a USB phone which come up from boot as /dev/dsp1 and /dev/dsp respectively. I've trawled through sysconfig, nothing found. Anyone knows how to fix this so that dsp1 is the default sound device? ... 9.3, but suppose it's applicable to any. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...
