[SLE] Problems with 10.1 and raid1
by Michael Menge 14 Jul '06

14 Jul '06

Hi, I have clonend a System with tar and sfdisk and now i have Problems Booting the System. The Rootfs is on /dev/md1, Swap on /dev/md0 The last lines I see are the following md: md1 stopped mdadm: no devices found for /dev/md1 Attempting manual resume md: md0 still in use md: md0 still in use mdadm: fail to stop array /dev/md0: Device or resource busy md: md1 stopped mdadm: no devices found for /dev/md1 md: md2 stopped mdadm: no devices found for /dev/md2 Waiting for device /dev/md1 to appear: ok rootfs: major=9 minor=1 devn=2305 /dev/md1: Unknown volume type Invalid root filesystem -- exiting to /bin/sh $ If i start /dev/md1 with mdadm -Ac partitions -m 1 /dev/md1 and exit the /bin/sh the bootingproces is continued, but this hase to be done every time i reboot. I dont understand why the devieces for /dev/md1 are not found but the devices for /dev/md0 and why they are found on the original system. --------------------------- /sbin/fdisk -l Disk /dev/md1

[SLE] madwifi and SUSE 10.1
by Warren Howard 14 Jul '06

14 Jul '06

Hi, I did a SUSE 10.1 install on a Thinkpad X40 today. I had no joy with the packages at http://madwifi.org/suse, YaST threw lots error at package install time, so I moved onto downloading and compiling the source. That worked well, modprobe ath_pci went fine. However no matter what I tried I was not able to get the wireless to connect using WEP and 64 bit encryption. Whereas no encryption and 128 bit encryption both worked perfectly!!

[SLE] Suggestion, SUSE 10.1: Improve the Software Management
by The Nice Spider 14 Jul '06

14 Jul '06

Open more than one instance ----------------------------- Currently (tested on gnome), YAST will let you open more than 1 Software Management (SM) windows, even after open second window it's tell you that another windows already open. I think better check first if another instance already open then bring the active instance to the front. (rather than show the second window first and then show an error message). This happen if you do several click on the S/W Management icon. Install from a folder -------------------- there is no feature in SM to open any folder to install file. such feature available on Webmin. currently, we must add each folder manually. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

[SLE] Remote Administration like Radmin or pc Anywhere
by The Nice Spider 14 Jul '06

14 Jul '06

hi, i just tested TightVNC but this s/w can not show CURRENT user in suse linux. let's me explain: - in Linux PC, I login as root and open Firefox - i am using TightVNC for windows and logged to the Linux PC as root too, but what displayed in tightvnc is not the "current monitor", instead tightvnc open new connection, so I can not see the opened Firefox browser! is there a way (or another s/w) that can show me the current user? like what i do when using Radmin (www.radmin.com) and Symantec PcAnywhere. thanks. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

[SLE] Is there a GUI/Web-based Proxy Server administration?
by The Nice Spider 14 Jul '06

14 Jul '06

Hi, After moving from Fedora 5 to Suse 10.1, I found many trouble with Webmin in squid, apache and firewall section, it's look like Webmin design to FC/Redhat. So, I decide to find any package that can used for: administration Squid using GUI or web base. i already read about proxymin, but the installation is overkill, i need just a simple rpm package installation. WPM is still in beta. anyone can point me a program to configure squid using gui or web based? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

SUSE 10.1 64-bit and nForce 3 S-ATA problem
by David Wright 14 Jul '06

14 Jul '06

A friend is currently trying to install 10.1 on a new S-ATA drive ha has purchased. The machine has been running 10.1 on an old 30GB IDE drive, but he has upgraded to a 250GB S-ATA drive. He is currently trying to re-install and the partitioning keeps hanging with a 1012 error. The motherboard is a Chaintech VNF3-250 Cocket 754 with an nForce3 chipset. The new hard drive is a Maxtor 250GB S-ATA II plugged into a S-ATA I slot - it should drop back to S-ATA 1 compatibility... He only currently has the 64-bit 10.1 DVD, although he does have the 10.0 retail DVD. I've suggested he now try and install the 32-bit 10.0 to see if it is a 64-bit driver issue, but I'm pretty stumped, with my Promise S-ATA controller 2 years ago with SUSE 9.1, or whatever it was at the time, I just popped the DVD into the drive and Bob's your Uncle... I did some Googling, but couldn't find anything specifc to the nForce3 and S-ATA causing problems under Linux. -- David Wright "I got to go figure," the tenant said. "We all got to figure.
