am I hacked ?
by Damir Buskulic 16 Sep '08

16 Sep '08

Hi, I got some problems (disk access denied, bus errors,...) that led me to go into single user mode and fsck my partitions. I noticed then that there were some directories created in the tmp directory, called "dev" and "etc", and one file in the / directory called "success" with 0 length. At reboot, these files disapeared. Does anybody know if this could be a sign of a hacked computer ? I mean could someone have installed a rootkit or some such ? I'm not paranoid but this indeed seems strange.

SLES9 / IBM 7025 F50 - Problems with SMP kernel
by Braulio Gergull 13 Jul '05

13 Jul '05

I've just installed SLES9 on a IBM 7025 F50 with 2 processors. In contrast to SLES8 there was no problem during the installation process. The only problem is that YaST installed default kernel (non SMP). I've installed the SMP kernel that ships with the distribution, ran mk_initrd and made the relevant changes to yaboot. However this kernel won't boot the machine, in fact the boot process aborts before the kernel is loaded into memory. Is there anybody using SLES9 on a F50 with multi processor support? rgrds, Bráulio Gergull gergull(a)getnet.com.br

Package Managers for Suse PPC?
by Erik Hentell 26 Feb '05

26 Feb '05

Hi all, I was just wondering if there are any package managers for SuSE 7.3 that off relatively up to date packages. I know that 7.3 uses RPMS, but my understanding is that the RPMs for SuSE at this version level were slightly different from everyone else's, which led to compiling problems. Is there any kind of package management system out there that can be used instead of the old SuSE RPM system?

passwd length
by jonas tyler 24 Feb '05

24 Feb '05

Hi, I found that my current installation of SLES does not allow passwd with length more than 8 chars. It just truncated them. How should I make it allow passwds with longer length?

js20 kernel update to 145 failed
by Marco Hoehle 11 Feb '05

11 Feb '05

Hi list, ... after the latest SLES9 (ppc64) kernel updates from 2.6.5-7.111.19 to 2.6.5-7.145 on an IBM js20 (blade) and a reboot , uups , the system won't come up ?!... ------------------------------------------------------------ Elapsed time since release of system processors: 0 mins 13 secs Config file read, 213 bytes Config file error: Syntax error near line 2 in file yaboot.cnf Syntax error or read error config Welcome to yaboot version 1.3.11.SuSE Enter "help" to get some basic usage information boot: : Unable to parse boot: ------------------------------------------------------------ As help and to see the system again i did this: Booted into rescue mode and back to the disk. Changed the yaboot.cnf manually. In yaboot.conf line 2 there is : parameter= This is wrong. Now my theorie is, that maybe in /etc/lilo.conf is something .. lets say, not so good. Or maybe the script /sbin/lilo has a bug. Until now i located /sbin/lilo as evil baby and changed the following lines : --------------------------- /sbin/lilo ----------------------- # starting the work and write the yaboot.conf { echo "# header section" echo "# partition = ${yaboot_part##*:}" --------------------------- /sbin/lilo ----------------------- Now it works fine. Anyone ever seen this ? Any good idea how to fix it permanently (without misusing the rescue cd all the time ..) regards

Failed to startx with SLES 8 on PPC 64bit
by jonas tyler 08 Feb '05

08 Feb '05

Hi, Unfortunately I have to upgrade from SLES 7 to SLES 8. But when I start X server, it reports that "Failed to load module 'mga' (module does not exist,0)". When I istall the machine, Yast2 was able to start up a crude X (I guess the resolution was 640*480). Does anybody have any advice on how to fix this? Even the crude 640*480 screen would be better than nothing. Thanks. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The all-new My Yahoo! - What will yours do? http://my.yahoo.com
