Changed Network Cards
by Elijah Savage 10 Apr '06

10 Apr '06

All, I changed my realtek network card for a intel pro 1000 gig card. Suse10 added this card as eth1 I want to change it back to eth0 I know there is a flat file for doing this but for the life of me I can't remember which it is. After long searches on google I can't seem to find it either. I think it was posted here once also but just no luck with that, any help with the name of this file would be greatly appreciated. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Elijah Savage | AOL IM:layer3rules Senior Network Engineer | When it has to be switched or routed. http://www.digitalrage.org | The Information Technology News Center ----- http://www.digitalrage.org/?page_id=46 for pgp public key--------

Network problem Suse 10.0 on Laptop
by Marius Roets 10 Apr '06

10 Apr '06

Hi Everybody, I have just got a shiny new Acer Aspire 5670 Laptop. First things first, I had to install Suse 10.0. The installation went quite smoothly, but when I started using it, I noticed that the network was not working. To make a long story very short, I have deduced the following: Normal boot: no network Failsafe boot : Voila, working network Now, I know too little of the workings of this beautiful operating system to even know where to start to look, but my gut feel tell me there must be a simple solution here. Please assume I'm an idiot in your answers (i.e. if you want more info, please tell me how I go about getting it). Thanks Marius

That gives all the other subscribers an opportunity to follow the discussion and contribute ideas/solutions... better for you, no? Second, from your original post: > I'm trying to install suse 10.0 over the local network (via HTTP). I > loaded the NIC module driver but i didn't find how to set my own ip > address. You didn't describe your hardware, nor did you indicate that SUSE was having a problem identifying and initializing the nic. You've got to solve this hardware problem, first, before attempting to assign or obtain an IP address for installation. Please describe your system hardware so we'll know what we're dealing with. Also, if you've run any other Linux on on this machine and had success using the nic, that information would be helpful. Even success accessing it under Knoppix or some other 'live' Linux distribution (boots and runs from CD/DVD instead of being installed) would be helpful. regards, Carl

safe to update GLIBC ?
by Greg Freemyer 10 Apr '06

10 Apr '06

Does anyone know if it is safe to upgrade GLIBC to the one from the factory on a SUSE 10.0 box. === Details I want to upgrade to the latest Rails 1.1 release on my SUSE 10.0 box. It requires Ruby 1.8.4 which is available from the SUSE factory. It has dependency on libc.so.6 Which I think is part of GLIBC_2.4 which I think is in the factory.

Problem with libapr1-devel
by Martin Steinmann 10 Apr '06

10 Apr '06

openSuSE 10.1: libapr1-devel installs header files to /usr/include instead of /usr/include/apr-1. libapr-util1-devel correctly installs header files to /usr/include/apr-1. I am using libapr1-devel-1.2.2-8 from the factory repository from April 5th. Working on packaging the sipX SIP PBX application for SuSE 10.1 when I came across this problem. --martin http://sipx-wiki.calivia.com

Manually editing a symlink
by Shriramana Sharma 10 Apr '06

10 Apr '06

A symlink is a special file that merely contains the path of another file. It can be created by the ln command. Now is it possible to actually *edit* the contents of a *symlink* itself? I mean, I would like to change which file this symlink points to. Is the only way to do that to manually delete the existing symlink and create a new one? Is there no way to directly edit a symlink and point it to another file? -- Tux #395953 resides at http://samvit.org playing with KDE 3.52 on SUSE Linux 10.0 $ date [] CCE +2006-04-09 W14-7 UTC+0530

reload lilo *after* winxp install
by ampster40＠comcast.net 09 Apr '06

09 Apr '06

is there a way to have lilo write over the mbr after I've re-installed winxp? I've done this in the past with Mandrake - but attempting to do so with SUSE isn't the same it appears. I had a dual boot system with Winxp and SUSE 10, untill my winxp install went bad. This morning, after making sure I had a install disk 1 of SUSE 10, I reinstalled winxp to hda1 (going from memory here, might have wrong partition number - and am in M$ now). Then I rebooted with the #1 SUSE install disk and choose Repair. That dropped me into cli. I then found my SUSE 10 partition (hda5 IRC) and mounted it. I tried to run "lilo -C /mnt/main/etc/lilo.conf" but it reported that the boot and map was on different disks and errored out. Sorry I didn't write down the exact error msg. I've noticed in lilo --help, there is a way for it to set the boot or map options, but I must be using the wrong syntax or something. In searching for this issue, I found the usual "MS should be installed before Linux" stuff, but there has got to be a way around this - if another distro can do it. Again, am stuck in M$ world for now - so I don't have many specifics to go from here. If anything else is needed to diagnose this, let me know and I'll do the reboot dance as many times as needed till I get my main O.S. back up! TIA Steve
