[opensuse] Probs with 11.3 installation
This is a dual core pentium 4 hp dc5000 looks like 2 gigs of ram I had trouble with one module tg3 but it installed when I go to set up the network card which it detects, it says it cannot configure because the kernel device, eth0, wlan0, firmware, is not present Harware information in yast says it is d530 CMT DG746A BCMS782 gigabit ethernet manufacturer is broadcom the spec d530 CMT DG746A also shows up0 at the IDE controller under storage media this was fine when I got the box with centos 6 on it the error message also said to consult dmesg dmesg is big :) what am I looking for? How do I get the card working? it will be a wired connection with a static ip This will be my first experience with kde 4 too are there good places to look for basic help other than the docs? -- Bob Rea mailto:gapetard@stsams.org http://www.petard.us http://www.petard.us/blog http://www.petard.us/gallery Where is Bill Stringfellow now that we really need him? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

In your original posting, you mention eth0 and wlan0 ? If you do have multiple NICs, please install the latest 12.3 updates. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (9.3°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free DNS hosting, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Those two were what was in the error message. But how do I get the updates without going online for them. Without eth0, no way to go online. - Bob Rea mailto:gapetard@stsams.org http://www.petard.us http://www.petard.us/blog http://www.petard.us/gallery Where is Bill Stringfellow now that we really need him? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Assuming you have a working internet connection, you configure eth0 manually, then run zypper up. Manual configuration is basically ifconfig eth0 + edit /etc/resolv.conf + routing setup. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (8.9°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free DNS hosting, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

The internet connection worked in centos, which I replaced with os 12.3 And this time when I started it, it didn't see the hard drive :( all help appreciated -- Bob Rea mailto:gapetard@stsams.org http://www.petard.us http://www.petard.us/blog http://www.petard.us/gallery Where is Bill Stringfellow now that we really need him? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

"ifconfig -a" or "ip link" or "ls /sys/class/net" should list all physical interfaces you have. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

OFF LIST i can see "other than the docs" but wonder if that meant you found http://docs.kde.org/ and want more/different.. so, i also wonder if you found our docs at http://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/html/openSUSE/opensuse-startup/art.kde... those are a pretty good *general* noob overview/survey...maybe they help? if you need deeper, dev/hacker level specifics you will have to ask or google on the mail list.. more general, KDE noob user level questions/googles are best in the openSUSE forums, http://forums.opensuse.org/ welcome Georgia dd A Texan in Denmark -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I suspect you may have hit this problem: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=768714 I have just hit the same again. It seems to affect multi-core systems with network interfaces that need the 'tg3' driver. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (16.1°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free DNS hosting, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
