[opensuse] What am I doing wrong

Guys, I have pxe boot working for a long time, but I had to add another subnet to my dhcpd.conf, and now I am not able to get to any images on my autoyast # DHCP Server Configuration file. # see /usr/share/doc/dhcp*/dhcpd.conf.sample # authoritative; ddns-update-style none; default-lease-time 900; max-lease-time 1200; lease-file-name "/var/lib/dhcpd/dhcpd.leases"; pid-file-name "/var/lib/dhcpd/dhcpd.pid"; #subnet 128 subnet 10.58.128.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { range 10.58.128.135 10.58.128.140; option routers 10.58.128.1; allow unknown-clients; } subnet 10.58.128.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { } host tadvcomracdb01 { hardware ethernet 00:19:B9:F3:35:9D; fixed-address 10.58.128.44; } #subnet 139 subnet 10.58.139.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { option routers 10.58.139.1; option domain-name "mydomainl.com"; option domain-name-servers 10.64.200.11, 10.62.200.11; option ntp-servers 10.58.128.249; range 10.58.139.134 10.58.139.139; allow unknown-clients; } allow booting; allow bootp; class "pxeclients" { match if substring(option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 9) = "PXEClient"; next-server 10.58.139.132; filename "linux-install/pxelinux.0"; } #class "pxeboot" { # match if substring(option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 9) = "PXEClient"; # next-server 10.58.139.132; # filename "linux-install/pxelinux.0"; #} -- ---------------------------------------- When a place gets crowded enough to require ID's, social collapse is not far away.

Or am I mistaken? If so, you do need those lines because otherwise zypper/yast/curl won't use the proxy settings set in kde or Yast. To get it to work on my box I had to add the proxy line to /root/.curlrc. Try it and see. I may be wrong (it has happened before) but that is my understanding. -- =================================================== Rodney Baker VK5ZTV rodney.baker(a)iinet.net.au ===================================================

[opensuse] pdftex
by Dave Feustel 31 Mar '09

31 Mar '09

I just discovered that, although there is a man entry for pdftex, the command 'which pdftex' returns a not found message. It looks like there is no pdftex file in Suse 11.0. Is there a problem with the TeXLive package? Thanks. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Knetworkmanager on SuSE11.1 doesn't start
by Verner Kjærsgaard 31 Mar '09

31 Mar '09

Hi list, - I'm in the proces of switching over to SuSE11.1 on my production PC (love that phrase, makes me sound important :-)) - I've got my assorted bag of bugs - well, not many, really...one anoying one being this one: Knetworkmanager doesn't start by itself, thus I have no network after login. I then fire up a shell and go (using my regular account) "knetworkmanager". This causes knw to spring into life and do its thing. - eh, any suggestions as to how to fix this? -- ------------------------------ Med venlig hilsen/Best regards Verner Kjærsgaard www.os-academy.dk Novell Certified Linux Professional number 10035701 ------------------------------ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Proxy configuration?
by Hylton Conacher (ZR1HPC) 31 Mar '09

31 Mar '09

Hi, I have an IPCop box with Update Accelerator and Advanced Proxy. Behind it I have two OpenSuSE 11.0 machines, one of them only recently installed but not updated. I have seen the IPCop box has a few RPM's stored on it and so would prefer not to download them again. Do I need to configure the newer OpenSuSE box to query the proxy on IPCop first before going to the net for its updates or will it happen automatically as there is no other way onto the net other than thru the IPCop box? If I do need to configure it, which file/where etc? I am using KDE on OpenSuSE.

[opensuse] Mouse accelleration fix
by Hylton Conacher (ZR1HPC) 31 Mar '09

31 Mar '09

Hi, I have a desktop server here that is powered down at various intervals during a month. After each reboot I need to reset the mouse acceleration setting in Configure Desktop from the default of 2.0x to my setting of 6.8x. As you can imagine having to reset this parameter is a REAL annoyance, yet the issue doesn't happen on onother OpenSuSE 11.0 box. I would like to know the name of which text file to use KWrite to edit, that would make my acceleration value stick. I have had a look under the /etc/sysconfig editor on Yast but have not found anything and a Google query on this is mind blowing. Any help appreciated Regards Hylton -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Making CHOWN sticky
by John 31 Mar '09

Hi, Can you please remind me how to set chown so that it automatically applies itself to all files in a directory as they are added / created? Is there a direct option or must I periodically run a cron job?

[opensuse] openSUSE 11.0 faster than 11.1
by Rastislav Krupanský 31 Mar '09

31 Mar '09

Hi. I noticed that openSUSE 11.0 is faster than 11.1. For example, when i launch control center, or yast etc. in 11.1, it lasts longer cca around 2 seconds, than 11.0. It doesn´t matter, whether i start them in Gnome, or in KDE. I wondering why is it so. Is any explanation for this behaviour? -- S pozdravom / Best regards, Rasto -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
