Is the hard disk full? Long post.
by Istvan Gabor 02 Mar '06

Hello all: I have the following problem with my suse 10.0 OSS with kde 3. 4. I wanted to install my own freedb database. For this purpose I created a separate partition with 10 GB size. I exctracted the tar archive to this partition. The extraction took a really long time, for hours so I left the machine alone. After the extraction has finished tar gave some error messages that could not extract everything since no space left on the drive. However df -h showed this: df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda4 9.2G 4.9G 3.9G 56% /home/user/sda4 After rebooting the computer I found that my lilo was corrupted that I had to fix using the rescue boot disk. When I was able login in again I wanted to create new directories on the abovementioned drive but I got this error message: mkdir sda4/temp mkdir: cannot create directory `sda4/temp': No space left on device However df -h shows the same as above: df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda4 9.2G 4.9G 3.9G 56% /home/user/sda4 When I run fsck.ext3 (with /dev/sda4 unmounted) it does not report any error: fsck.ext3 /dev/sda4 e2fsck 1.38 (30-Jun-2005) /dev/sda4: clean, 1221600/1221600 files, 1301070/2441880 blocks Now I don't know what the problem is and how I could fix it. Any help would be appreciated.

http server setup problem in suse 10.0
by Istvan Gabor 02 Mar '06

02 Mar '06

Hello all: I would like to set up apache http server only for serving localhost requests. I installed the apache and other required packages through yast/network services/HTTP server. When it turned to the server configuration (HTTP server wizard) I could not pass the first step as there was not anything in the "Listen to Interfaces" window. It was completely empty. Now I am stucked. I think the localhost interface should be there at least. What should I do?

DVD Data backup script
by DanTheMan 02 Mar '06

02 Mar '06

Hi all. I was wondering if someone can point me in the direct of a simple script that I can use to make a nightly DVD backup of our data. Currently our data is about 4gb and fits onto one dvd. I have been manually backing up the data to another linux box but I would also like to make a nightly DVD-RW that rewrites the DVD which we can then store. We plan to store about 7 days worth of data and will reuse the DVDs. The data is stored in the /data directory of our OpenSuSE server. I have created a /backup directory and I plan to implement nightly tarballs of the data. If I have one file like: /backup/2/data.tar.gz - what command should I use to copy it to the DVD drive? Thanks in advance and regards from Denmark, Dan

fetchmail peculiarity
by Peter Collier 02 Mar '06

02 Mar '06

A few months ago, I tried to set up mail via yast. (network services -> mta.) I got things wrong because I stopped getting mail other than local mail and all mail was returned to senders with message something like localhost could not accept mail, no such address. So using yast again, I selected no connection and this solved the problem. Looking through my filesystem today, I noticed that in fetchmailrc, it still had my old email address (which I can still get emails from). So I changed the entry to my new email address. Since then I've been getting fetchmail messages in my in box saying that Fetchmail could not get mail from "pecb(a)pop3.apm-internet.net" (which I have never had or used). I've grepped through my file system and I found a few references to my old email address but cannot find any reference to the above address. How did that get into fetchmail and other than uninstalling fetchmail, how do I cure this? Peter C

sumf (SCPM) in 10.1/GNOME?
by Glenn Holmer 02 Mar '06

02 Mar '06

I'm considering switching to GNOME; what's the equivalent of sumf (SCPM front-end) for GNOME? I didn't see sumf at all in 10.1 beta 5, is there something different? -- ====================================================== Glenn Holmer (Linux registered user #16682) ====================================================== "Greater coherence cannot be achieved.

gnome shortcuts
by nicola .:kOoLiNuS:. losito 02 Mar '06

02 Mar '06

Hi to everyone, after an upgrade or two using the smart pm and the supplementary Gnome repository [SUSE 10.0 here] i can't get keyboard shortcut to work propery anymore. I've also tried the tool in the gnome control panel, changed the key-combo (still doesn't work) and go back to the default one, but I had no luck :-( Also, clicking on the icons of software needing the insertion of the root password (ie YaST) results in the coming up of the window requesting the password, then a silent fail on launching the application itself .... On KDE, instead, all it's working charmfully .... Any idea ? -- nicola .:kOoLiNuS:. losito http://kool-solutions.blogspot.com http://www.koolinus.net icq: 62837984 jabber-id:koolinus@jabber.linux.it Y!: koolinus msn:koolinuz@hotmail.com callto://nicola.losito

Start-up stops at "/sbin/preload /etc/preload.d/kdm"
by David Geiger 01 Mar '06

01 Mar '06

Hi folks, after a (working) reinstallation and a full update, my SUSE 10.0 stops at start-up when going into runlevel 5 at the script S03earlykdm which executes "/sbin/preload /etc/preload.d/kdm". When I kill the preload process everything works fine. I've tried to run preload manually with --help and without, but it doesn't say anything and I have to do Ctrl+C to get out again. Maybe this is "normal", I don't know. My System is up-to-date and a reinstallation of preload didn't bring any change. I'm using kernel 2.6.13-15.8-default (also tried 2.6.15-jad2). Nothing in syslog. Any ideas about this strange behaviour? Regards, David -- David Geiger info(a)david-geiger.de

ntop-like prog for monthly stats.
by pelibali 01 Mar '06

01 Mar '06

Hi, I checked the archive and found ntop for preparing stats on the net- work traffic I have e.g. on my eth0. I liked the program itself, but I would rather need simpler and not so comprehensive stats; preferably would like to see a monthly stat with all of the traffic summary with not so much details. Is there a software like that existing? I also tried bandwidthd, but in the case of temporal existence of a particular interface that's quite tricky to load everytime and let it reload the previous stats from logfiles... Thank you, Pelibali
