[opensuse] vpnc problem - loosing local network after successful remote login
by Clayton 25 May '07

25 May '07

I'm having a very annoying problem with VPNC in openSUSE10.2. rpm -q vpnc returns vpnc 0.3.3-34 I can connect to the remote vpn server (giving my preshared key, user id and password) . The connection appears to be successful, but then I immediately loose all network connectivity on the local machine. I cannot ping anything external or even my local router. To recover my network connectivity, I have to kill the vpnc session and then cycle the network card down and back up again. Nothing else seems to restore my network connectivity. Any tips or ideas on how to resolve this one? C -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] "Burn" iso into usb flashdisk
by Fajar Priyanto 25 May '07

25 May '07

Hi all, I downloaded openSUSE-10.2-GM-i386-mini.iso and wanted to burn it into usb flashdisk. Is it: dd if=openSUSE-10.2-GM-i386-mini.iso of=/dev/sdb1 ? Because the files are there after the dd, but when I boot from it, it just stays there (blank screen with blinking cursor).

Have I been missing something? That's I think too :) However, I have situation where I can't boot from cdrom because the notebook doesn't have the drive. But, it can boot from USB. So, I thought I can boot from USB flashdisk from the Opensuse mini iso, and from there perform network installation of Opensuse10.2. Something like passing install=nfs://myserver:/src hostip=xxx.xxx.x.x etc etc. Sorry for the confusion. -- Fajar Priyanto | Reg'd Linux User #327841 | Linux tutorial http://linux2.arinet.org 2:03pm up 0:17, 2.6.18.2-34-default GNU/Linux Let's use OpenOffice. http://www.openoffice.org

[opensuse] Bye Bye Vista - Hello issue with SUSE...
by Kai Ponte 25 May '07

25 May '07

Okay, just for everyone's knowledge, Vista has this annoying habit of asking if I want to save a password. On my sites, I have several with similar domains and differnt passwords. Vista mucks them up. This - plus an annoying habit of locking up on a regular basis - decided me that I'd just simply go with SUSE 10.2 and create a VMWare XP machine. So, last night I painlessly installed 10.2 on my laptop (which went flawlessley) and am now up on KDE. Even my multimedia keys are recognized!! http://www.perfectreign.com/stuff/2007/20070523_102_desktop.jpg Okay, one problem. It seems when I'm using firefox - which is most of the time - I get a lock up. The clock icon shows and I can pretty much do nothing but power off. EXT3 - which I noticed replaced reiser - seems to handle things just fine, but what may be going on? How can I diagnose this? Second question - since this is a dual core (Centrino Duo 2.0 GHz) system, shouldn't I be using a SMP kernel? I notice that the kernel used is 2.6.18.8.0.3-default i686 TIA! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] SAX2 Default Video
by Kai Ponte 25 May '07

I googled and can't find a way - I remember in earlier versions of SAX2 that I could change my video driver. This seems no longer the case. Am I missing something on 10.2? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
