[opensuse] Why are iputils missing in OpenSuSE 12.1?
I have installed OpenSuSE 12.1 from the downloadable ISO image (after I bought OpenSuSE 11.3 and 11.4 and the 11.4 version is not working and 11.3 will soon be phased out :-( ). Now I set up a network and wanted to ping another machine in the network and ...wait a minute...there is no ping? There is no iputils? Why on earth didn't they include that in the normal distribution? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I have installed 12.1 on 3 systems and ping is available on all. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
Strange. Which DVD did you use for installation?Downloaded ISO or purchased somewhere? If downloaded: When did you download your ISO? I fear that only my ISO did not include iputils (and whois btw. ). ----- Ursprüngliche Message ----- Von: James Knott <james.knott@rogers.com> An: SLE <opensuse@opensuse.org> CC: Gesendet: 15:59 Sonntag, 11.März 2012 Betreff: Re: [opensuse] Why are iputils missing in OpenSuSE 12.1?

Just checked the DVD that I made from the downloaded ISO. The iputils is there but it is not offered by Yast2 Software manager! ----- Ursprüngliche Message ----- Von: Peter Maffter <petermaffter@yahoo.de> An: "opensuse@opensuse.org" <opensuse@opensuse.org> CC: Gesendet: 16:31 Sonntag, 11.März 2012 Betreff: Re: [opensuse] Why are iputils missing in OpenSuSE 12.1?

What happens if you search on iputils in Software Manager? However, if you have the RPM handy, simply clicking it should start the installation process. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I downloaded the DVD ISO shortly after 12.1 was released. I don't have whois installed, but both it and iputils are on the repository. Have you tried installing from there? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Ping is installed with the base system... looks like something went wrong there.. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
