Configure network card replacement in YaST2
by Felix Miata 13 Sep '06

13 Sep '06

Opened GUI YaST after disabling onboard NIC in BIOS and putting NIC in PCI slot. YaST showed both, so I deleted the disabled one, established correct basic settings for IP address, etc. Then finished. On reboot, I have no network, because init only wants to start eth0. The system has the new NIC on eth1. How do I switch it to eth0? -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding.

Yeah, I agree it isn't a distro war. I think some people are simply venting. I've yet to see a "my-distro-is-better-than-yours" post. Sure there's a few comparisons, but nothing blatent. > > Distro forks are easy. New distros are even easier.

The question was what's the difference and to me who has the same question, it has not been answered. I do agree that the 10.1 distro fouled up a lot of stuff and the folks at Novell _do_ need to hear, but I merely was saying, the original question to me, has not been answered, just a lot of complaints about the updater. Just my opinion. -Keith

[opensuse] problem with apache & php
by afan＠afan.net 13 Sep '06

13 Sep '06

Just installed on one test-box SuSE ES9. Was easy. Installed Apache. Was easy. Opened Konqueror and opened 'localhost' - was ok. kreated test html page in /home/me/public_html, opened as localhost/~me/test.html and worked fine. Installd successfully installed php - no errors. Created php test file with <?php phpinfo(); ?>. And, now start the problems: when try to open localost/test.php actualy, I was asked to "Save As..." or "Open with..."? same thing with localhost/~me/test.php Did I forgot something? Checked on Novell's CoolSolutions page (http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/feature/595.html) and I did everything the same. What's a problem? Thanks for any help. -afan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

The above is from my laptop.... The default partitioning on Suse is one of the distros few negatives. They just don't do it right. IMHO Kind regards, M Harris <>< Kind regards, M Harris <><

I see this is turning into a distro war. I am a long term SuSE user AND I use Ubuntu 6.06 and have wondered (other than Gnome desktop default in Ubuntu and debian-based) what does one offer over the other. Nonetheless, I choose to install both because variety (to me ) is the spice of life. I am a casual user and I like both and have both installed on several machines and a laptop. I, however, since I use Linux for my home network as a server, I have stayed with SuSE, but my server is still at 10.0. It seems to me the best choice as a server, having learned from 7.x on how to configure a server, now it is easier under 10.x --Keith

Suse... and its not a distro war... its a heads up to anyone (probably no one) listening at Novell that in the future the UPDATER better not get fouled up... simply stated. Distro forks are easy. New distros are even easier. Ubuntu is waiting in the wings and will take off and fly (is already) if Suse gets messed up again. Its just a matter of time before Ubuntu has a pretty graphical installer and starts to give value add to the distrobution. Should Novell care, they might want to stay ahead of the game... capitalize on their strengths, and not foul the props in the future. It only takes one major slip to tip the scales. That said, I must admit that probably no one at Novell is listening... so, maybe it is a distro war. :-p Kind regards, M Harris <><

root user ID number accidentally changed on files
by James D. Parra 13 Sep '06

13 Sep '06

Hello, Short story; accidentally created a user with user ID of '0'. Went to change the ID of all the files owned by the user to the proper ID and now all the root user files have the four digit ID. How can I quickly (real quick) change the four digit ID on the files owned by root back to '0' recursively. Many thanks, James
