`rpm -qa | grep glibc` I'm betting there's another way. But this one works just fine. > -----Original Message----- > From: James D.

SCPM problems
by sargon 04 Aug '05

04 Aug '05

Twice in one week I have somehow trashed SCPM (I still have no idea how), most recently today after re-installing 9.3 last night. Everything on my laptop worked after finishing the install. I updated all my packages, rebooted a couple of times---everything worked. Then I turned on SCPM and added profile statements to GRUB, turned off the laptop, and headed to work. Upon booting the laptop, my network card (in all profiles) will pass traffic for 5 seconds to 60 seconds, then traffic stops. I can restart networking and traffic will again pass through the NIC, at least for a while. When I had problems a couple of days ago, I tried to rebuild the database, which only made things worse, as several profiles were removed. I assume there was a problem with the database. The problem remains if I turn off SCPM, since the active profile (which has problems) becomes the default. Does anyone have any idea what would cause this problem with the NIC? Is there anyway to fix it without doing another re-install this week? Thanks. Sargon

9.3 install on Compaq 3017CL notebook hangs or fails to find hard drive
by Randall J. Parr 04 Aug '05

04 Aug '05

Have Compaq Presario 3017CL notebook with SuSE 9.2 installed and running fine. Trying to install/upgrade SuSE 9.3. When booting from the DVD and selecting "Installation", the system hangs while "Initializing". When booting from the DVD and selecting "Installation w/o ACPI" or "Installation - Safe mode" the installation ask for keyboard, etc. but then says it can find no hard drive. I did not experience a problem like this when installing SuSE 9.1 or SuSE 9.2 on this system. Any idea how to get past this? Boot parameters to try, etc.? Thanks R.Parr, RHCE Temporal Arts

Need to use an MTA with Fetchmail??
by a.bridge＠insightbb.com 04 Aug '05

04 Aug '05

I have fetchmail setup to download messages from my companies ISP. It is doing that correctly for my test account. However when I use the email client (Outlook in this Case) i cannot download the messages to Outlook. Am I missing a part here. Do I need to also be using Sendmail or Postfix along with fetchmail in order to allow Outlook to download the messages. Although I am not new to Linux this is my first attempt at something like this so any additional help or ideas would be very helpful. The end result I want is to use SpamAssasin to filter Spam before the User can download it. Thanks as always, Aaron

SuSE 9.3 Nvidia Xorg 6.8.2 won't work...
by alwin＠bakkenes.nu 04 Aug '05

Hej, Since upgrading to SuSE 9.3 , my X is totally broken. Symptoms: 1. System won't boot into graphical login (KDM) 2. X System can be started using xinit, and I can manually start Gnome but some applications (e.g. Yast2 YOU or Mythfrontend / setup screens) will crash X 3. KDE won't work at all. I have a shuttle SB75G2 with a Inno Nvidia FX5200 attached to a 1280x768 Sony screen. I have tried to get the latest Nvidia drivers, but notice no difference. In my logs I find the following, (II) LoadModule: "fb" (II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libfb.a (II) Skipping "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libfb.a:fbmmx.o": object file contains no symbols (II) Module fb: vendor="X.Org Foundation" compiled for 6.8.2, module version = 1.0.0 ABI class: X.Org ANSI C Emulation, version 0.2 I found other posts that show this in relation to problems with X.

USB TV/FM Tuner
by Ron Joffe 04 Aug '05

04 Aug '05

Does anyone have any experiences with USB Based TV and (optionally) FM Tuners ? Linux connectivity of course :) Looking for something very simple that will allow TV and (optionally) FM reception. Prefer to allow tuner changes from a command line. Thanks, Ron
