[opensuse] Automating the NFS mount
by Mohamed Haidar 07 May '07

07 May '07

Hello all, I finally got the nfs service to work. In retrospect i see that it was kind of trivial but for a newbe nothing really is. My question now is how to make the hole process automated. I have tried to add the line ip:folder /mnt/folder nfs rw,no_root_squash 0 0 to my fstab but with no result. I still have to manually mount the folder at startup. Thx for your help everybody. _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!

[opensuse] YaST2 update
by russbucket 07 May '07

07 May '07

Today I checked Scribus for updates. It showed two updates were available from different respositories. 1.3.3.9-12.1(packman) and 1.3.4-2.1(Mrdocs). I went into the versions tab and selected 1.3.3.9-12.1 and started download. It completed. but the version that YaST installed was 1.3.4-2.1. Is this normal or is it a Bug I should report? Thanks for any comments. -- Russ Linux register user 441463 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Help with ATI drivers - please
by Jim Flanagan 07 May '07

07 May '07

Hi All, I just cant seem to get this right. Trying to install ATI drivers in opensuse 10.2. I have a radeon 9800 AGP card installed. getting about 23 fps in glxgears. I installed the ATI drivers by adding this source in yast, http://www2.ati.con/suse/10.2 >From there I installed the following: * *ati-fglrxG01-kmp-default* * *x11-video-fglrxG01* The install seemed to go OK. Then I ran "modprobe fglrx" Went to yast>hardware>Graphics, 3d was checked in yast (not greyed out like before). I clicked "confirm" and restarted X. Noting but a grey screen would come up. Tried rebooting and got back to that same grey screen. I ssh'ed in from another computer, ran yast and uninstalled the 2 packages. Now I'm back to where I stared, X runs like before. But I still don't have ATI drivers working. I did not follow the ATI instructions on opensuse.org, but rather tried the point and click method as outlined above. I have tried the manual method before with an nvidea card, but never got that to work either. All I've ever ran on linux is the default graphics install, and I'm getting tired of it. Can someone tell me where I went wrong? I forgot to mention, I updated xorg, all the blue items before doing the ATi install. xorg-x11 shows to be version 7.2.146-7. The ATI driver version was 8.36.5_2.1.18.8_0.3-1.1. I'm running 32 bit, AthlonXP 2500. I must say i do like adding sources to yast, makes it much easier to install, and update than previously in 9.3. Please help. Jim Flanagan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] choice between several networks
by jdd 07 May '07

07 May '07

Hello, I'm configuring a laptop for an association. This machine need to be usable from any house of the board members, with different ethernet connections. So I need to switch easily (without root access) between dhcp or several fixed IP. I initially thinked I could do this with networks manager, but it seems to have only a switch between modem and ethernet. I can't (in yast) have several configs for the same (pcmcia, perfectly wotking) card any idea?

If drive is not recognized by BIOS that DOS based Spinrite will not find it either. <snip> However sudden death of electronics with or without know reason is always possible, that is why people make backups.

Depends on quality of the cable. In case that cable had hidden factory problem even one time disconnect can make cable to fail. The same is valid for connector on hard disk. As you had a problem after putting hard disk in the the external case than problem is on the hard drive and it can come from: - electrostatic discharge from your fingers to electronics on hard disk that fried some chip - bad connector on hard disk - bad power supply voltage in external case that fried electronics - some kind of failure on IDE 40 pin connector in external case that fried IO buffer on hard disk You can test the external case using voltmeter or some old hard disk that can be fried if there is any failure, though I would recommend to measure voltages on power connector first, and make sure that drive is good ie. it can be recognized in computer. Right now I would not use second hard disk for experiments with external case. <snip> -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Drive not visible
by Michael Juntunen 07 May '07

I have two hard drives. The first has suddenly become invisible. I have booted Knoppix. I have taken the hard drive out of the system, plugged it into a usb external case, and plugged it into my laptop (which is running XP but has been modified to see ext3 file systems). I have run spinrite. Nothing sees this drive. The drive does spinup but for some reason is not registering as being there. Throughout all this the second hard drive mounts as hdb and both hard drives are set up as cable select. Any thought on what I need to do to get this drive readable again?

I have gotten an account at a dyndns service and i got the domain mohed.com and its pointing to my computers ip and all. Now, this question is vague but I just need some pointers couse the area is huge. I want to make another computer mount a nfs filesystem of the main computer, the one with the domain pointing to it. How would the command in fstab look like ? would it be www.mohed.com/folder or mohed.com /folder or any other *.mohed.com/. Im under the impression thet the www is used when its a www service and nfs is not quite that. Thanks for the help guys, and if the question is'nt that wise the bare with me, im very new to this.

[opensuse] Fixing things for good

After having a look at the serve x 2 results it is easy to see out of 27,000 odd respondents of which aprox68% are professional IT knowledge and yet only 8% of the 27,000 odd people write bug reports. The amount of knowledge we have here is unbelievable and many many people are able to solve issues that need fixing system wide. I know, from experience, that dealing with suse.de is not always pleasant, however if you do find bugs please start witting bug reports. This is the only way we can improve the product and not have to solve issues time and time again. I was amazed after I sent out the massive deficiencies AND subsequent reply from suse.de - That they really don't care if it does not provide real-time protection.

If so, any suggestions on further troubleshooting? close(13) = 0 lseek(12, 0, SEEK_SET) = 0 read(12, "", 100) = 0 close(11) = 0 munmap(0x2aaaab7d7000, 4096) = 0 fcntl(12, F_SETLK, {type=F_RDLCK, whence=SEEK_SET, start=1073741824, len=1}) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied) nanosleep({0, 100000000}, NULL) = 0 fcntl(12, F_SETLK, {type=F_RDLCK, whence=SEEK_SET, start=1073741824, len=1}) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied) nanosleep({0, 100000000}, NULL) = 0 fcntl(12, F_SETLK, {type=F_RDLCK, whence=SEEK_SET, start=1073741824, len=1}) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied) nanosleep({0, 100000000}, NULL) = 0 And so on, ad infinitum. My home is an LVM managed volume exported over NFS, both my local machine and my LAN fileserver are on 10.2. Amarok runs just fine on accounts with locally mounted home dirs.

Well, for now we don't have separate package yet, so this profile will affect your normal FireFox. To switch from AppArmored FireFox to normal FireFox, you must type: For normal mode: rcapparmor stop or for AppArmored mode: rcapparmor restart -- -Alexey Eremenko "Technologov" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

In retrospect i see that it was kind of trivial but for a newbe nothing really is. My question now is how to make the hole process automated. I have tried to add the line ip:folder /mnt/folder nfs rw,no_root_squash 0 0 to my fstab but with no result. I still have to manually mount the folder at startup. Thx for your help everybody. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Try making your folder specification absolute.

Nothing specific , just some pointers or is that outside the scope of the discussion. Thx guys for the help, very appreciated. _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!

All my computers have linux on them. Thx >in advance for any help you guys. What i would like to do is to have a network at home with shared folders. I asked around and people suggested NFS. I have three linux computers with openSuse 10.2 on them. My isp hands me three separate IP's witch are dynamic. All the computers is connected to the same switch. Now I can't say I have read all the man and info pages but i have read a bunch of them including some online howtos. The general idea seams to be that the IP's should be static witch is a luxury i dont have. I could go with the hostname method mentioned above but I need some explination and some guidelines. I'm not using yast for this, im managing the conf-files manualy. I dont thing that getting the NFS service going is a problem, either server or client, its just that I don't know how to handle the dynamic IP issue. Very great full over the advise guys. _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!

[opensuse] suse 10.2 updates
by Serge Naggar 05 May '07

05 May '07

I installed suse 10.2 with gnome, openoffice & evolution - I thought it would be more stable [I come from kde]. The system is 32 amd, ide, usb [dvd, mouse] & dial-up I downloaded all of the available updates [through most of April] for 10.2 and started applying them to the installed system using yast2. - About a third of the way through the updates, yast2 would no longer do an rpm update, so I resorted to: rpm -Fv [freshen]; which works fine but has anyone had this `problem' where yast no longer will work to update using an rpm patch file? - On reboot I found myself with no sound and no usb [no mouse. no dvd, etc] - has anybody had this problem? I think I know the culprit - it is an update to yast2 = yast2-sound-2.15-1.1.i586 patch.rpm. Can somebody confirm or ? thanks, cheers, Serge -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
