[SLE] Multiple gateways
by Thiago Vinhas 04 Jul '06

04 Jul '06

Hi, I have a problem in a customer which I was been working on all day with no progress... This customer has one synchronous cyclades pc300 card, up and running directly with a public IP provided by the backbone. They also have a ethernet card configured as another public IP provided by an ISP. The problem is that when I set the default gateway with the router where the synchronous card is connected, the interface where I have another public IP cannot be reached by outside connections. The same happens if I change the default gateway to the other router (the one of the second connection), and if I put both default gateways at the same time. Does anyone has a clue on how to make this work? I don't want load balancing, or anything like that. I just want to have this two connections working.

[SLE] YaST/2, apt & smart problems

Troubles SUSE 10.1 x86_64 No problems installing *except* below: install *hangs* while reading hardware present when scanner is attached but will complete if scanner is not attached until after hardware initialization. usb system only recognizes channel to epson 925 printer which has a card reader and only then after modules were manually added via yast to the boot process and yast doesn't run ANymoRE. I have to transfer my photos from chip to my wife's windoz box and scp them to my box :^( ls -la /proc/bus/usb/ is *always* empty. scanner not recognized, usb epson 2400 note: Live SUSE 10.1 dvd recognizes printer, scanner and other attached usb devices properly. cups installed, but system using "Generic UNIX LPD", and only seems to print text.

[SLE] Epson R800 & R1800
by BandiPat 03 Jul '06

03 Jul '06

Hi all, Ok, all those using high end printers. Anyone with the above printer/s using it with SuSE 10.0 or 10.1, successfully? Seems like Fred had the R800, but I haven't heard anyone mention the R1800. I think they are pretty close from what info I could gather. Epson has a driver for the R800 available for Linux, which should work for the R1800 as well. It just won't use all the extra features of the R1800. I know gimp-print doesn't support it, but the new gutenprint does/will. I don't think SuSE has incorporated Gutenprint into the distro yet, so that counts that out for the moment? Anyone with other info, please pass it along.

[SLE] Backups
by suse＠911networks.com 03 Jul '06

03 Jul '06

Looking for suggestions for backups: Current situation: 3 data servers: daily tars copied to a 4th server with a tape backup running at night. The local PCs are NOT backed up, nothing is supposed to be stored there. The tape drive has died: a replacement is around $3,000. The tapes were convenient because somebody could take them home next night and rotate. The backups are right now 40Gb, but could easily be reduced to 10Gb. What can you suggest so that somebody can take the backup home? -- Thanks http://www.911networks.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] Build Service Repository.
by steve.goodey＠bt.com 03 Jul '06

03 Jul '06

Hello, Could I just check something please? I am running 10.1 with KDE 3.5.1. If I add http://software.opensuse.org/download/repositories/KDE:/KDE3/SUSE_Linux_ 10.1/ will that be enough for updating KDE to 3.5.3 or do I need to add the backport repository also? If something goes wrong is it possible to return to KDE 3.5.1?

RE: [SLE] cifs mounts
by James D. Parra 03 Jul '06

03 Jul '06

> > >>I am currently using smbfs. Any technical reasons to use cifs instead? > > We keep getting smbiod errors. >what if you change 'cifs' to 'smbfs' in /etc/fstab? Whenever there is high use of the mount using smbfs we get smbiod using 99% of the CPU. Using cifs eliminates that. I found a solution or at least an answer to the problem. A kernel version of 2.6.5 (or lower, I imagine) cifs does not recognize the 'credentials' command. The two servers we have with kernel version 2.6.11 work perfectly well. Mount points were stored in fstab.

[SLE] lppasswd policy
by Hans du Plooy 03 Jul '06

03 Jul '06

Hi guys, For the first time in a while, I've needed to use the cups web interface, and when setting the password I'm told my password isn't long/difficult enough. What governs the password difficulty for lppasswd? It's not the same as the usual user password, because I'm trying to set it the same as my root password and it's not accepting it. theluggage:~ # lppasswd root Enter password: Enter password again: lppasswd: Sorry, password rejected. Your password must be at least 6 characters long, cannot contain your username, and must contain at least one letter and number.
