IP scanner for Linux
by Aidan Holmes 08 Feb '06

08 Feb '06

Hi Guys, I'm looking for an IP scanner that can scan a range of addresses and give me a list of all the alive hosts, without me having to manually ping all 255 available addresses. Up untill now I have always used Angry IP scanner under windows but would prefer if I can do all my work from my linux box. Before anyone says 'why don't you just use dhcp?', it's for configuring static ip's for devices such as wireless access points, voip ata's etc, where we need to know the ip to configure them via a web browser. Any help greatly appreciated, Cheers, Aidan.

It is what all the l33t h4xx0rz use! http://www.insecure.org/ Do use a proxy when you venture there. Fydor recommends it. You might also get similar results with Ehtherial, but I don't have it fired up right now. -- kai ponte www.perfectreign.com linux - genuine windows replacement part

My wife's never even ventured into a Fry's in the 13 years we've been married. I have gotten her used to Firefox on KDE, however. :) -- kai ponte www.perfectreign.com linux - genuine windows replacement part

mount: can't find /dev/sda1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
by C. Brouerius van Nidek 08 Feb '06

08 Feb '06

Made some upgrades on my KDE 3.5/ 9.3 and suddenly I have problems with my USB card reader. Remember from some versions earlier that the easiest way would be to restart the computer and the usb devices which would be inserted would be included in the fstab. Must have slept through some developments. Went googling but did not find an answer. Can somebody help?

building km_* kernel module fails with SUSE 10
by Malte Gell 08 Feb '06

08 Feb '06

Hi there, I build my own kernel from the sources that come with SUSE 10. I also installed additional km_* kernel modules I need. I tried to compile them according to /usr/src/linux/README.SUSE which says. But, "make modules KERNEL_SOURCE=/usr/src/linux" does not work in /usr/src/kernel-modules/ipppcomp Error message: /usr/src/linux/Makefile:494: .config: No such file or directory /usr/src/linux/Makefile:539: /usr/src/kernel-modules/ipppcomp/arch/i386/Makefile: No such file or directory make: *** No rule to make target `/usr/src/kernel-modules/ipppcomp/arch/i386/Makefile'. Stop. Compiling the km_* packages can really be a pain, if additional packages need to be installed, why the heck can´t they automatically be installed via YaST when installing the needed km_* package?

cpufreq problems
by Ian 08 Feb '06

08 Feb '06

Hi all, I am a fairly recent convert to Suse Linux from Windows and am quite impressed so far, but have an issue which is puzzling me. Please bear in mind that I have no programming or scripting experience at all, so be gentle with me. I am running Suse 10 OSS (fully updated via YOU) on a Dell Dimension 4300, 1.7 Intel P4 Processor, 256Mb Memory, as a non-networked desktop system. For some time now I have been getting the following in /var/log/messages: linux kernel: powernow: This module only works with AMD K7 CPUs Jan 28 14:53:18 linux rcpowersaved: CPU frequency scaling is not supported by your processor. linux rcpowersaved: enter 'CPUFREQD_MODULE=off' in /etc/sysconfig/powersave/cpufreq to avoid this warning. linux rcpowersaved: Cannot load cpufreq governors - No cpufreq driver available linux [powersave]: ERROR (CPUFreq_Kernel:21) Can not set ondemand governor, maybe your cpufreq driver is too slow. linux [powersave]: ERROR (CPUFreq_Kernel:23) Try CPUFREQ_CONTROL=userspace in /etc/sysconfig/powersave/cpufreq. linux [powersave]: ERROR (PM_Interface:231) Cannot create cpufreq objects I decided to do as advised and, via Yast, changed CPUFREQ_MODULE to off, and set CPUFREQ_CONTROL to userspace. I didn't know what to do about the ondemand governor, but guessed that this may be connected to the first line, "CPU frequency scaling not supported" After this, on startup, I now get the following in the log: linux [powersave]: ERROR (CPUFreq_Userspace:42) Could not set userspace governor, seems as if the cpufreq_userspace module is not loaded. linux [powersave]: ERROR (read_line:43) Could not open file for reading: '/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies' linux [powersave]: ERROR (read_line:43) Could not open file for reading: '/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq' linux [powersave]: ERROR (read_value:82) Could not read value in file /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq: error: No such file or directory! linux [powersave]: ERROR (read_line:43) Could not open file for reading: '/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq' linux [powersave]: ERROR (read_value:82) Could not read value in file /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq: error: No such file or directory! linux [powersave]: WARNING (getMinMaxSpeeds:349) Speedstepping not supported! Was the correct cpufreq module loaded? linux [powersave]: WARNING (initFreqsViaTesting:377) Could not read min and max speed linux [powersave]: ERROR (PM_Interface:231) Cannot create cpufreq objects I have looked in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0 and there is nothing in there. I did a Modprobe -v cpufreq_userspace and this was loaded. How would I add this to the system to load on boot? It would appear that in trying to solve two issues, I have created several more. Do I undo the changes made earlier or is there anything else I could do to solve this? The computer and system do not appear to be adversely affected by any of these "errors", apart from very occasionally, probably every fifth or sixth bootups, the bootup process will fail and various things like the firewall and other processes will not start, I then have to reboot and all is well. (This may not be connected with the above at all.) Nothing is indicated in any logs as to why this happens. I hope I have given enough information, if not, please ask and I will try to supply anything further required. Regards Ian

gcc 4.1 for SuSE 10.0
by Andrei Verovski (aka MacGuru) 08 Feb '06

08 Feb '06

Hi, Someone can tell me where I can get gcc 4.1 RPMs for SuSE 10.0? I have looked in /projects/gcc/m and they are not here. BTW, what else needs to be updated along with gcc 4.1 and corresponding cpp, libgcc? libstdc++?

Hey All, Is there no longer a suse-sles-e mailing list? I get mailer-daemon rejections from any attempt in sending one to that list. If it is infact obsolete, is there a replacement one for the SLES distrubution? TIA, MikeK

Request: MD5 for 3.51 KDE packages
by Shriramana Sharma 07 Feb '06

07 Feb '06

Dear developers, Could we have an MD5SUMS files in the ftp tree of the KDE 3.51 packages? That way we who download can check whether we got the files safely. Since creating md5sum files is trivial in Linux, this should not be a problem, right? Thank you. -- Tux #395953 resides at http://samvit.org playing with KDE 3.50 on SUSE Linux 10.0 $ date [] CCE +2006-02-08 W06-3 UTC+0530
