[opensuse] OpenSuSE via NFS
by Benedikt Thelen 17 Oct '06

17 Oct '06

Hi I'm trying to deploy diskless OpenSuSE clients at my workplace. The idea is to boot the computers via PXE and then load a complete OpenSuSE via NFS. Yet I tryed to build my own initrd and it works, sometimes and sometimes not :-(, especially some programms like Openoffice do not work. I'm sure that there may be an other possibility of booting opensuse via nfs using the existing initrd's of the opensuse project. I was wondering if anyone has done something similar yet or can anybody give me a hint. On google if found some hints to do similar things with fedora but in that case they used it for one computer only, but in my case I need serveral computers using the same resources an that means that all files on the nfs mus be readonly (especially lock and pidfiles must be independently on the machines).

Gnome CD/DVD Creater (known bug?) not fixed in 9 month?
by Peo Nilsson 17 Oct '06

17 Oct '06

Hi list. I run Suse linux 10.0 and I update my system with SUSEWatcher continously. Problem: If I burn lets say 100Megs of data on a CD RW disc with Gnome CD/DVD Creater it works fine. Later when I wan´t to burn new data to the same CD RW disc I´m told to insert a CD R/CD RW that has space for the data (there should be a couple of hundred Megs left). When using Google I found this: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=164352 It says that the bug is FIXED... How come that I don´t get the fix of "Nautilus" through SUSEWatcher ??? I have Nautilus 2.12.0 right now. Thanx in advance. /Peo Registered Linux user #432116 http://counter.li.org/ http://www.whylinuxisbetter.net/

SPAM: Buy? Download? ... or wait and see?

Barring the unforseen, SUSE 10.2 should be released next month. I'm curious as to how many people are likely to buy the boxed set, how many will download the then-current OpenSUSE version, and how many are likely to just sit and wait for a few months before trying. Does Novell even notice the amount of cash that comes in from purchases of the boxed set? I don't mean the enterprise stuff, where the money is in the support contract. I mean the (whatever they're going to name it this time) desktop version that home and small-biz users have been buying for years. I have this notion that we are an ever-shrinking club that don't even defray the cost of a single programmer anymore, with everybody else downloading the free version. But no data to support the suspicion. :-) With me, I think it's more tradition than anything else. Kevin (who will _try_ to wait this time....)

printer was not found during install in 9.3

How do I add my printer? I know Linux recognizes the HP LaserJet 2200D. But it didn't get installed and I can't seem to find how to do it. Clicking the printer icon on the screen doesn't seem to lead to anything useful. Thanx. --doug

Hi list,.. I'm having problem adding bluetooth device. The device works well on suse 10.1 (KDE desktop). It's detected by KDE and prompt me to setup using yast and so on (finally works fine as it should be). Then i plugged in to another machine (suse 10.0). it can be detected. Running hciconfig, i got this: # hciconfig hci0: Type: USB BD Address: 11:11:11:11:11:11 ACL MTU: 678:8 SCO MTU: 48:10 UP RUNNING PSCAN ISCAN RX bytes:689 acl:0 sco:0 events:57 errors:0 TX bytes:699 acl:0 sco:0 commands:34 errors:0 But when i ran yast >> Hardware >> Bluetooth, The configuration field is inactive. Only "Finish" and "Cancel" are active. What should i check (or enable)? Thanks, Adinda P

SPAM: [SLE] Can't run this script
by Duff Mckagan 17 Oct '06

17 Oct '06

I am learning Shell Programming ..but the book I have is "Unix Shell Programming" and I know there are gonna be some differences, but in this case, Error Redirection is not working as wanted... Here's the script. i=a echo `i` 2>> err Can somebody point out the error? ..if there's any ..lol Also, I want to install "ksh" on SuSE. Just wanted to ask whether it is provided with the default installation..or is it present in the Cds..or do the Repositories offer them? I had added non-free reps in my SuSE Installation Sources, but I don't think I was able to find "ksh" in the list. PS: I have also included Packman. -- http://mckagan.googlepages.com

fam
by Hans du Plooy 17 Oct '06

17 Oct '06

Hi guys, Can anyone tell me what the advantage is of running fam-server? It does nothing but going haywire every now and then and maxing my system out. If I don't run it, my mail log is filled with fam related errors. This is on my notebook, but I've had the same issue with fam for as long as I can remember on every version of SUSE I've used. Does anyone know how to rebuild courier-imap without fam support, or at least get it not to bitch about it in the logs? Thanks Hans
