[opensuse] Does automatic updates work in 11.0?
by Adam Jimerson 27 Jun '08

27 Jun '08

Does the automatic online update module is YaST work in openSUSE 11? I know in 10.3 it send system mail to the configured user every time it ran, it now does not do this, and today there is a recommended update "Repository | Name | Version | Category | Status ----------------------+----------+---------+-------------+------- openSUSE-11.0-Updates | timezone | 46 | recommended | Needed" This just made me even wonder if it works, or there for looks. -- "We must plan for freedom, and not only for security, if for no other reason than only freedom can make security more secure."

[opensuse] dhcpcd/dhclient Does Not Update DNS on 11.0 -- Bug or Feature?
by David C. Rankin 27 Jun '08

27 Jun '08

Listmates, 11.0 apparently doesn't update dns. The occurs over both wired (dhcpcd) and wireless (dhclient) connections. Server is running 10.3 and bind 9.4.1. Both wired and wireless connect find and receive address, gateway, wins and dns info just fine. Another strange difference between 10.3 and 11.0 is that dhcpcd/dhclient on 11.0 receive addresses starting at the middle of the available IP range compared to 10.3 that get IPs assigned from the top of the range and count down: Server: /etc/dhcpd.conf range dynamic-bootp 192.168.6.110 192.168.6.150; Client: /var/log/messages Wired: Jun 24 23:48:15 linux network: Starting the NetworkManager Jun 24 23:48:19 linux kernel: r8169: eth0: link up Jun 24 23:48:19 linux dhclient: Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Client V3.0.6 Jun 24 23:48:19 linux dhclient: Copyright 2004-2007 Internet Systems Consortium.

I don't recall installing "make" as a separate module with earlier releases. I think it automatically installed if one picked development packages. I guess it is a required separate install now.

I have upgraded from 10.3 to 11.0. I am using KDE3;5 and the updater complains that no backend plugin is installed and I should please install one. Can someone tell me what backend plugin I should install i.e. the name of the package please? Or some other way to resolve this.

[opensuse] Configuring negear WG311t Wireless
by Kai Ponte 27 Jun '08

27 Jun '08

I bought for a new system a Netgear WG311T wireless PCI adapter. (I could not find an Intel wireless and people seem to have luck with this one.) I looked on how to install (after writing the company and asking why they don't support Linux natively) and found various instructions. http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-wireless-networking-41/netgea… That is one supposedly for openSUSE 10.3, which I'm running (with KDE of course). However, when I go to the Network settings screen of YaST, it lists the network card (there is also a Dell 86562V-2 10/100 NIC) but says, "Unable to configure the network card because the kernel device is not present." I've rebooted to ensure madwifi is installed - I have listed 0.9.3.99-36 in YaST. What am I missing? Do I need to somehow bind madwifi to the kernel? -- kai www.filesite.org || www.4thedadz.com || www.perfectreign.com remember - a turn signal is a statement, not a request -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

More things to try: 1-save the original first, then edit the xorg.conf file created by sax2 (if there is one at all) and comment by putting "#" at the start of the line the line containing "UseModes" 2-if your kernel line contains a vga= parameter, remove it, reboot to runlevel 3, startx 3-if your kernel line contains no vga=parameter, add vga=0x120, reboot to runlevel 3, startx 4-try saving http://fm.no-ip.com/tmp/xorg.conf.07-1440x900x089x16bpp-i810 as /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Before starting X using it, check to see if the BusID matches your lspci output, and adjust if necessary. 5-If you can find the complete specs for your display, check to make sure the HorizSync and VertRefresh used in xorg.conf match. 6-Using search string "i810" in comments field and xorg as product, search Novell's Bugzilla for possible solutions or workarounds I may not remember. -- "Where were you when I laid the earth's foundation?"
