by Per Jessen 29 Aug '06

I'm trying to assign a virtual IP to the loopback interface 'lo': /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-lo: # Loopback (lo) configuration IPADDR_1=127.0.0.1/8 NETWORK=127.0.0.0 BROADCAST=127.255.255.255 STARTMODE=onboot USERCONTROL=no IPADDR_2=192.168.2.231/32 Can anyone spot why this isn't working? /Per Jessen, Zürich

SuperMicro H8DA8/H8DAR motherboard
by Robert Lewis 29 Aug '06

29 Aug '06

Has anyone had success loading SUSE Linux on a SuperMicro H8DA8/H8DAR AMD dual processor 2.4 GHZ? It has an ATI Rage 8-MB XL Graphics Chip Adaptec RAID V4.30 AIC7902 Ultra 320 Wide The machine sounds like a jet engine and is hard on my ears as it is designed for rack mounting (1U) pizza box design, in a relay rack cabinet. It installs normally up to the first reboot where you put in the root password and user stuff etc. providing more detail describing how it fails but just At that point it always fails with no GUI coming up and to many processes keeping getty from running, so does Ubuntu. I did once or twice succeed in installing the machine as a bare bones server with no GUI, text only. I am fishing at this point to see if anyone has one of these boxes and has failed or succeeded. I can install SLAX which is a LIVE CD ok. Cheers, Bob

Hi, Anyone have noticed on SuSE 10.1 when Firefox starts downloading something CPU usage increases to so enormous degree that even stops screen refresh?

[opensuse] unable to access phpMyAdmin or gallery2
by Patrick Shanahan 29 Aug '06

29 Aug '06

I have reinstalled SUSE 10.1 x86_64 and in recreating my web photo album have hit a brick wall. I have external http access to my site and to my public_html directory, but cannot access phpMyAdmin or the gallery2 php setup scripts located /srv/www/htdocs/*/.... Oddly, I can access awstats, but it resides in cbi-bin which is below /srv/www/... The error message I get for both is: Access forbidden! You don't have permission to access the requested directory. There is either no index document or the directory is read-protected. If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster. Error 403 wahoo Mon Aug 28 19:30:19 2006 Apache/2.2.0 (Linux/SUSE) and I get the same error if I browse as 'root'. drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 2006-08-28 18:43 gallery2 drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 2006-08-28 18:10 phpMyAdmin drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 2006-08-28 18:51 htdocs I'm thinking that I have a basic apache2 setup error but cannot figure out what? I'm also feeling kind of 'duh' as I have successfully done the same install and configuration on seven or eight previous installs. tks, -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

setting the mount option for USB flash
by Jason Kim 29 Aug '06

29 Aug '06

In SuSE, it seems like fstab is not synchronized with the newly plugged-in storage devices. I've noticed that there was no entry for my USB flash when I plugged it into my system. I want to set the uid and umask in the mount options for my flash so that nobody can access the mount point except me. In FC4, I can control the mount options by modifying fstab, but if I add a new entry into fstab in SuSE and double click the device icon in the "File Browser", I just got a error message dialog as follow : Mount Error Operation failed /dev/sda1 found in /etc/fstab I wonder how SuSE choose the mount options when it auto-mounts USB storage, and when I double click the device icon in the "File Browser". I've added new fdi file to set the policy for the mount options, and I've confirmed the values in the "lshal", but it didn't work. /proc/mounts had no mount options I set in fdi file. Could someone give me a hint?

10.1 install fails with SATA drives?
by Peter Van Lone 29 Aug '06

29 Aug '06

I'm trying to install 10.1 code (actually, sled 10) on a machine with a pretty new intel system board and sata drive. However, the install gets finished with the first section (after partitioning drives and choosing software, etc ...) and then it goes into what I think is the first scheduled reboot. However, it appears that the drives did not get the boot loader installed, or something. If I just leave the cd #1 in (the installed does not say to take it out, it just says rebooting in x seconds) then the default action is to boot to hard disk ... this fails, with the message "press a key to reboot". If I arrow down on the menu and choose "installation" it just starts the install again. So, I guess I have a couple questions: 1)at this point in the install, am I supposed to remove the cd and boot from the hard disk, or, is the installation supposed to pick up where it left off after booting to the cd? And, why oh why does the installer not SAY whether to remove the cd? 2)Is this likely a driver issue with the sata disks? If so, is there a procedure for inserting the correct drivers during the install (I see the F5 "driver" menu option, but I'm not sure what to do with it)? Below is what the installer sees as the disk devices /dev/sda (dsik, dev 8:0-*:15) model: "maxtor 6y080M0 revision: "YAR5" Serial: "Y2PBCQQE" Driver: "sata_sil" Geometry: (logical): CHS 9964/255/63 Size: 160086528 sectors (76 GB) Suggestions appreciated ...

Recommended software for sending faxes
by Paul Abrahams 29 Aug '06

29 Aug '06

What software do folks recommend for sending faxes? I don't need to receive them. I'm running KDE and SuSE 10.0. I actually have two modems: an external USR one, which I'd prefer not to use if I don't have to, and an internal PCTel one, which I have yet to get working properly (see my other thread). And on the same subject: what do I need to do to set up the modem for this function? The Yast facility for configuring a modem seems to assume that the modem is being used to contact an ISP, which is not the case in my situation. Paul

[opensuse] home directory access problems, permissions???
by Patrick Shanahan 28 Aug '06

28 Aug '06

I am haveing logon problems and believe that I may have found the problem, permissions for home directory. I have: drwxr-xr-x+ 84 pat users 8192 Aug 21 16:56 pat ^ What does the '+' (plus) indicate above and how may I clear it, if that is indeed my problem. Many of the files below /home/pat also have the 'x' in the same location. tks, -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/photos --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

10.1 Yast - Run Level Editor - Problem
by Ann Hopkins 28 Aug '06

28 Aug '06

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 This problem showed up a few days ago, before this I had no problem with the run-level editor in yast. I had to turn an init script I made a few weeks ago to do some testing. When I tried to turn it back on, it seemed to state that it had to start some other processes (required start) that it never did before, and when it tried to start the actual init script it hung, and could not complete the task. It finally returns but fails. If I temporarily fixed the script and placed an extra "rc_reset" after the "rc_status -v" it will work. This script is just the "/etc/init.d/skeleton" script renamed and modified for the specific process. The script also works fine on the command line, so I believe it has to do withe the checks which are made. I tried this on another script and the same thing happens. I can remove the extra "rc_reset" afterwards and when I boot it works correctly. Is there some database involved here? Is there something I can do to fix the problem? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFE8zbQhs7JGk93PT0RAsmcAKCD9kP+Qn2DC7rWTL2v2cgDmtx5LACgq8GT ubCjuc3birpxGhU+jPbs1F8= =8gFh -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
