Samba problem I do not understand
by Art Fore 12 Apr '06

12 Apr '06

Have a laptop with Suse 10.0 running samba server. I share /media/SEAGATE which is a usb drive. I also run WinXP on the same machine using Parallels Hypervisor. (This is a workaround until they get the USB problem fixed). The share is enabled and inherit acls is yes. I can access the /media/SEAGATE share with WinXP, no problem. I go to my desktop machine, also Suse 10.0, I can see my home directory, etc, but the /media/SEAGATE share does not even show up. Go back to my laptop and try looking at the smb shares with Konqueror, it still does not show the /media/SEAGATE share. Any suggestions on why this is? Art

Much lower traffic than here but it is dedicated to SUSE on PPC. Have you tried deleting and then re-adding the NIC through YaST? I see you tried to re-configure it. I'm thinking that maybe removing it, rebooting and then re-installing it may work. Stan I figured it out in the end. Modules.dep wasn't linked to the new kernel. Working like a charm now

ethernet card not working after PPC SuSE kernel upgrade
by Grant Lawsky 12 Apr '06

12 Apr '06

hello everyone I just installed SuSE 10 on the Mac for the first time (G5).. eth0 (built in network card, Apple K2 GMAC (Sun GEM)) was working fine, I was able to get all the new updates, including a kernel patch. After everything was installed I rebooted and now eth0 is unavailable. When I run YaST and try to configure the NIC it says 'The device does not have a driver module. The driver may be built in the kernel' which I'm assuming it's not since the upgrade. could someone give me some direction on what to do ? :) cheers, grant

Real Numbers representation in Tcl language
by Maura Edeweiss Monville 12 Apr '06

12 Apr '06

Is it possible that on a 32-bit machine the maximum value for a Real number in Tcl language is 10^10 ? Instinctively I'd saythe number of bits assigned to the representation of a Real number is independent on the machine h/w architecture ... but I'm not familiar with Tcl and may be mistaken ... Thank you, MEM

OpenSuse 10.0 and external usb hdd
by Otto Rodusek (AP-SGP) 12 Apr '06

12 Apr '06

Hi, I hope I have the correct forum, and apologize in advance if I don't !!! I have installed OpenSuse 10.0 (64bit) and things seem to be working ok. However, I have the following query vis the external usb-2 connection. I have 2 identical 200GB Seagate drives - one connected internally (/dev/hda) and another externally (for backup/rsync). When I do a hdparm on /dev/hda it works normally: rentsch-asia:/var/log # hdparm /dev/hda /dev/hda: multcount = 16 (on) IO_support = 1 (32-bit) unmaskirq = 1 (on) using_dma = 1 (on) keepsettings = 0 (off) readonly = 0 (off) readahead = 256 (on) geometry = 24321/255/63, sectors = 390721968, start = 0 However if I do the same command on the exact same drive but connected via usb2 I get this: rentsch-asia:/var/log # hdparm /dev/sda /dev/sda: HDIO_GET_32BIT failed: Invalid argument HDIO_GET_UNMASKINTR failed: Invalid argument HDIO_GET_DMA failed: Invalid argument HDIO_GET_KEEPSETTINGS failed: Invalid argument readonly = 0 (off) readahead = 256 (on) geometry = 24321/255/63, sectors = 390721967, start = 0 Any idea how to get the correct params so I can set them to my requirement?? Thanks and rgds.
