extremely slow Yast-Update
by Daniel Bauer 13 Jul '06

13 Jul '06

Hi everybody I just wanted to bring my system to the lastest developements, so I showed all installed packages in Yast and checked "update all with never versions", a list with approx. 1 GB resulted, including all the KDE stuff. Ok, I started the download, the stuff from packman came in fast at normal speed, but now, while downloading the kde packages the connection is extremely slow (it says, that it will take another 4 hours to load down 570 MB). gkrellm shows me that there is no network traffic at all for some seconds, then there is a short connection for half a second or so and then again a break... How comes? Anybody else experiencing this? It can't be my internet connection, as e-mailing or browsing the internet works at normal speed on my DSL line. I use http://software.opensuse.org/download/repositories/KDE:/KDE3/SUSE_Linux_10.0 http://software.opensuse.org/download/repositories/KDE:/Backports/SUSE_Linu… as Yast sources for the KDE stuff. any hints how I can speed up the process?

[SLE] New article: Installing Linux remotely
by Fajar Priyanto 13 Jul '06

13 Jul '06

Hi all, I wrote an article on how to install Linux remotely using Fedora Core 5/OpenSuse 10.1. I'm sure any other modern Linux distro can do this also. This is the excerpt: One of the feature of Linux that I admire most is it's ability to be installed remotely. Meaning? Yes, we can install it from a different location, either it is from a different floor, different building, different city, or even different country. This is most useful for a corporate with many branches but limited IT staffs.

[SLE] Apache 2.2 modules missing shared libs
by Grant Croker 13 Jul '06

13 Jul '06

Resending since I do not believe my original mail made it. Hi, I have been looking at doing some LAP work with Apache on SuSE 10.1. After copying some code and Apache config from a working SuSE 10.0 box I discovered that 10.1 comes with Apache 2.2 (nice surprise) and that the modules are missing links to their shared libaries (not so nice). Running ldd against mod_ldap.so/mod_authnz_ldap.so gives: > > ldd /usr/lib/apache2-prefork/mod_authnz_ldap.so > linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0xb7f2b000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0xb7e0b000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x80000000) the same thing run on a SuSE 10.0 machine gives: > > ldd /usr/lib/apache2-prefork/mod_auth_ldap.so > linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000) libldap-2.2.so.7 => /usr/lib/libldap-2.2.so.7 (0x40016000) liblber-2.2.so.7 => /usr/lib/liblber-2.2.so.7 (0x40044000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/tls/libpthread.so.0 (0x40050000) libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0x40062000) libresolv.so.2 => /lib/libresolv.so.2 (0x40181000) libsasl2.so.2 => /usr/lib/libsasl2.so.2 (0x40194000) libssl.so.0.9.7 => /usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.7 (0x401ab000) libcrypto.so.0.9.7 => /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.7 (0x401db000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x80000000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x402d5000) As far as I can tell I have all the packages I need to support LAP with Apache - even rebuilding Apache 2.20 from the arc RPM fails to solve the problem. Looking at all the mod files in /usr/lib/apache2 / /usr/lib/apache2-prefork only mod_ssl.so seems to be linked against the correct libraries. Has any one come across this problem? thanks grant - Grant Croker, grantc(a)php.net ||| Software Engineer, Ingres Corp d-_-b http://ingres.com -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq(a)suse.com

[SLE] Firefox crashes
by Clark P. Case 13 Jul '06

13 Jul '06

Hi, I posted this once before and I guess no one was able to answer this or have an idea on what the problem might be. I am using Suse 10.1 with Gnome and Firefox instantly closes when I try to either use the print button or the following in the File menu: Page Setup, Print Preview, Print... I tailed the messages file and nothing is logged there when it happens on any of the selections. Has anyone else had any problems with this or know where I might find the logging information to narrow this down beyond the /var/logs/messages file? Thanks in advance

[SLE] 10.1 product idea
by Tim Prepscius 13 Jul '06

13 Jul '06

Hey. I thought of an idea for a product. Please think about it. I think you should sell: SUSE on a dongle. Take the 2gb dongle, plug it into any computers usb 2.0 port, reboot, and instant linux! It would be fast, functional, easy. I would put it on my key chain. I could save data onto the dongle, or work on the computer I plug it into... Best buy could sell them for a hundred bucks. ....
