[opensuse] internet connection sharing problem on home network problem
by Gustav Degreef 22 May '07

22 May '07

I'm having trouble setting up a home network to share one internet connection. I have two laptops both with ethernet cards and both with wireless cards. One laptop is connected to a wireless access point and I am trying to use that machine as a router to share the internet connection with the second laptop (via wireless). First, is this possible? I ask because I've had no success. I have followed the basic instructions on these two pages: http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/feature/16579.html and http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/feature/16022.html Machine 1 Running Suse 10.1 updated regularly. Isp access via a wireless network. Machine 1 has access to the network via eth0 linked via an ethernet cable to a wireless access point. The isp assigns fixed ip 192.168.xxx.202. The access point is not hooked up to a wireless router. The isp gateway is 192.168.xxx.254. eth1 is the wireless card which I have given the fixed ip 192.168.2.1 I have internet access without problems on this machine eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:16:D3:04:7E:AA inet addr:192.168.xxx.202 Bcast:192.168.xxx.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::216:d3ff:fe04:7eaa/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:10245 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:6164 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:2408404 (2.2 Mb) TX bytes:818320 (799.1 Kb) eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:13:02:6D:0D:20 inet addr:192.168.2.1 Bcast:192.168.2.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::213:2ff:fe6d:d20/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:75 errors:1 dropped:1 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:14 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:2108 (2.0 Kb) TX bytes:1094 (1.0 Kb) Interrupt:185 Base address:0xc000 Memory:d4000000-d4000fff machine 1:~ # /sbin/route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.2.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 192.168.xxx.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo 0.0.0.0 192.168.xxx.254 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 Machine 2 - running suse 10.0 online update regularly.

[opensuse] Changing refresh rate
by Cristea Bogdan 22 May '07

22 May '07

I want to change the refresh rate of my monitor to a higher value than the defaults values. I have tried to modify the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file in order to add the desired refresh value, but nothing is changed in the list of values displayed by sax2 for example. Any suggestions?

I proudly told her that evolution would do this without difficulty. Hah, bloody wrong :( I've been round the houses with 10.2, first it didn't recognize the device, then I tried to install new versions, all manner of nonsense. I've tried compiling and installing from source, but now I think I'm close. > > I finally figured out that the system wasn't doing the patch downloads, so when I got that configured properly, I found hundreds of updates, including evolution and gnome-pilot updates. Well, next I found that the system would recognize the palm, and would sync, but that there were no evolution conduits offered. Then I located them in /opt/gnome/share/blahblah/conduits, but worked out that the set the system was working with are in /usr/local...blah. So, I copied them over. Why is the system set in /usr/local? Nothing from the official distribution should be in there. Sounds like either a source install or rpms from a non-standard repo. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I suspect this is a consequence of my having tried to build from source previously. That's part of my problem; the original install with 10.2 didn't work at all for this device, and there were no patches. I tried to build from scratch, that didn't work either (it's a while ago now, so I've lost track of exactly what did happen, but I don't think everything compiled). Then in the last couple of days I found the patches and installed them, then discovered that I could not see the e-xxx conduits, and that's where I am now. Which was why part of my original question was, how do I clean up and do a fresh install of just the evolution, gnome-pilot, etc. related parts. There's configuration and stuff on this machine that I don't want to trash by a fresh install of the whole system, but I think if I can reinstall the evolution and pilot stuff, then patch it, it might well work ok.

[opensuse] Monitor and Soundcard problems
by Karl Edler 22 May '07

22 May '07

Hello, I recently installed SuSE 10.2 on a system that was running SuSE 10.1. Unfortunately the new system did not properly configure my monitor or sound card. I was able to fix both problems and I want to give my solution to someone who can integrate it into future SuSE releases. Where should I put this information???

[opensuse] What Novell?
by Kai Ponte 22 May '07

22 May '07

I know this is probably OT to many of you, but I thought you'd appreciate it. As many of you know I work for LA county, which has 98,000 employees. I currently am in charge of computers for one department, with about 1,100 employees and roughly 800 PCs/60 servers. We are entirely Windows based. One of my buddies works for our retirement association - connected to us but separate at the same time. They run GroupWise, Netware and several dozen SLED machines. I was talking to him about the situation with Novell's marketing this weekend, when he brought up Brainshare. Apparently he ended up at a round table discussion with Ron H. where Ron started talking about Novell and SUSE marketing. My buddy point-blank asked Ron, "what Novell?" Essentially no one ever hears of SUSE or Novell. He went on further to describe how pathetic the marketing is compared to the onslaught of MS marketing that he and his management must fight every day. Ron apparently gave some wimpy reply that they are "working on it" and that marketing should get better. To which my buddy - a CNA from the 3.12 days - replied that he'd heard this for over a dozen years. Nice to hear we're at least talking to the Novell management. :P -- kai ponte www.perfectreign.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
