news bridge or gmane?
by jdd 23 May '06

23 May '06

Do you know if it's now possible to have a news bridge for suse mailing lists? a news.opensuse.org should be ideal, but a gmane working bridge could be possible (I never could make it work). I now follow suse-linux-e and it's a unpleasant experience. opensuse is sometimes going in the same way. I mean there are endless and unimportant discussion that makes hundred of OT mails. this is evident in suse-linux-e, and on opensuse, sorry to say so, but to have the very last gnome or kde version is the most uninteresting thing I never see. Kde is nearly at his top evolution (I don't really see what one can add that have really a meaning) and Gnome is probably not so far (I don't use it) That is not to say this discussion must not happen. If I had not to dowload it, I wouldn't care. That is why news are important. but there is more. on suse-linux-e, I use to let the questions alone, just dropping a look from time to time to see how they evolve. If I notice that no answer is given (and if I can do), I go back to the first post in archives and I answer... _NO_ I'm stuck!!! It's _not_ possible to answer from the archives... News don't have this problem. and it's an important reason to have them. thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://dodin.org/galerie_photo_web/expo/index.html http://lucien.dodin.net http://fr.susewiki.org/index.php?title=Gérer_ses_photos

DNS server configuration - root of the domain howto?
by Sunny 23 May '06

23 May '06

Hi, I need to prepare a DNS server as master for our domain. So far I succeed to do whatever I need, but do not know how to assign an IP address for the root of the domain, i.e. I know how to do serv1.mydomain.com, serv2.mydomain.com, etc., but how do I assign IP for "mydomain.com" only? Thanks -- -- Svetoslav Milenov (Sunny) Windows is a 32-bit extension to a 16-bit graphical shell for an 8-bit operating system originally coded for a 4-bit microprocessor by a 2-bit company that can't stand 1 bit of competition.

Looks like I can not > understand :) Sunny, It's this line: IN A 217.8.216.11 for a specific host within the domain, it would read somehost IN A aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd Leaving out the "somehost" part tells it to resolve the domain with no hostname to that address.

yum vs. yast
by Clif Smith 23 May '06

23 May '06

I'm in a rather large environment and have to support red hat as well as suse. I'm already running yum on red hat and would prefer to do the same on suse. I have it running, however I want to make sure performing a yum update of a service pack will achieve the same results as using yast. For example, when I used yum to install sp2 on sles9, I first had to yum install kernel-source, then yum update?

Fwd: SUSE 10.1: Startup: CPU 100%
by Martin Soltau 23 May '06

23 May '06

Hi all, whenever I start up my Suse 10.1 the CPU is busy with 100% for about 4 minutes. It seems to be the update checker. Is this correct? It seems to take very long... After it has finished, the system runs very smooth... What can I do? Kind regards, Martin

Re: [SLE] 9.2 USB hard drive enclosure recommendations
by lerninlinux＠comcast.net 23 May '06

I believe the reason he is asking about compatibility, is due to this: Prolific 3507 chipset. Commonly refered to the chipset from hell. Some manufacturers went to it as it was cheaper then the standards like the Oxford 911. But this chipset has timeout issues with ALL operating systems. Most USB cases will work (see above), I do STRONGLY reccommend one with a fan. I also reccommend that you still back up your external case, as did you ever notice that most external premade usb drives, only come with a year warranty. I like Seagates with the five year warranty, because if the fan dies and I don't notice it, I at least have that to fall back on (besides other backups).

General comments about 10.1 retail (box)
by Bruce Marshall 23 May '06

23 May '06

1) Pysol has gone missing. 2) madwifi has gone missing (that's pretty serious) 3) When I tried to do a YOU, it showed me 3 updates to install. Clicking on ACCEPT caused YOU to quit and return to the YAST2 screen. 4) YAST2 seems to be using a fixed font size regardless of screen resolution. It is small, crappy, and very hard to read. Trying to go through the 'install software' is an exercise of great pain. I wonder what else is missing.

Re: [SLE] Internet installation
by Ricardo Rodríguez - XEN (rrodriguez＠xen.net) 23 May '06

Yes, I've tried a number of options, some of them pointing to download.opensuse.org as a http or ftp server and using /distribution/SL-10.1/inst-source/ as directory. But they failed. The one is working is the one posted by Jim Barnes, suse.mirrors.tds.net, with /pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.1/inst-source as directory. I'm guessing many others from the mirror list will do the trick as well! I'm guessing http://en.opensuse.org/Released_Version#Internet_Installation must be modified accordingly: I am not able to reach YaST or hit F3 or F4 if I previously I down know where to address the installation process to pick up the required files!

How to update the database ?
by Erik Jakobsen 23 May '06

23 May '06

You sure know the situation, that you have erased some files, but after you see, that they are still visible, because the database had not been updated. I have forgotten how that is to be done. Can anybody help me ?. TIA -- Venlig hilsen - Best regards - Erik Jakobsen SuSE Linux 10.0 Eval..
