So most probably NetworkManager is activated on the system but not used for the dialup connection. This is a known issue since NetworkManager still thinks the machine is offline.

In my case FF is set up like this, but apparently FF does not think that the loopback interface (lo, 127.0.0.1) is a real network and neither is a dialup connection. If you are not connected on a LAN via ethernet or wireless, then FF will start offline and you have to manually go and put it in online mode before you can do anything. That might work, but since Mom is dialed in and on the net before Firefox is started, she expects it to be in online mode and the home page to be what she wants it to be. Can someone explain why Firefox stays offline even when a dialup connection is made?

Something you might like to consider, now you're using syslog-ng, is getting it
to have a different log file for each
day. Here are the "destination" and "log" entries in my syslog-ng config file:
###
destination syslog {file("/var/log/$FACILITY.log.$YEAR$MONTH$DAY");};
destination full-syslog {file("/var/log/system.log.$YEAR$MONTH$DAY");
###
log {source(src); destination(syslog); };
log {source(src); destination(full-syslog); };
###
What this will give you is, for example, /var/log/system.log.20070119 which
will contain all the syslog messages, and
files like /var/log/local0.log.20070119, /var/log/mail.log.20070119 etc. which
will contain the messages for each
facility. It makes tracking things down a bit easier.
Rather than use logrotate (most of my systems are Solaris) I use the following
shell script to gzip the log files and
put them in /var/log/archive (Which I have on a separate filesystem). It's run
at 23:59 each night:
cut here===
#!/bin/bash
cd /var/log
# Get TODAY's date. As we're running just before midnight, go to
# sleep until after midnight so that the log files will no longer
# be being written to
DAT=`date "+%Y%m%d"`
sleep 65
# As we're running from cron, output a friendly message to say what we're doing
echo "Compressing and archiving log files: \n"
# get a single colum list of all the log files that were generated then gzip
# each file before moving to /var/logs/archive
ls -1 *.log.${DAT} |
while read fil
do
echo $fil
gzip $fil
mv ${fil}.gz /var/log/archive
done
# Log files are retained for a maximum of 1 year/366 days (to cater for leap
years)
# We remove everything older than 345 days because our oldest backups are 21
days old
# and will have 345 days' worth of logs on them
echo "Removing archived logs older than 345 days:\n "
cd /var/log/archive
# the above cd isn't really necessary as the find command explicitly states
where to search.
# DON'T be tempted to do find . -name "*.log.gz" ... you might just regret
it! :)
# Find all the log files older than 345 days and remove them. Echo the file
name so it gets
# captured in the cron output
find /var/log/archive -name "*.log.*.gz" -mtime +345 |
while read arc
do
rm ${arc}
echo ${arc}

[opensuse] [Xen] how to setup domU network?
Hi all, I am quite new to Xen, but a bit used with Linux in general. I just wonder how to setup domU network. I use the Xen embeded in opensuse 10.2. My real network, without any Xen consideration is about one desktop and one laptop, behind a modem-router that NATs too. The modem-router-NATer offers LAN IP address via DHCP. I acces internet through the eth1 but I have an unused eth0. Therefore, I specified eth1 as 'network-brige net-dev' in xend-config.sxp. I only consider full virtualization (running non-modified OS), I have the VT CPU to so so. I first tried to install a Debian netinst. The "problem" is the debian installer first look at a DHCP offer. It fails. Then, I guess I have to make it static address: but what kind of IP address? I dont know what's the default IP range, or where is it set up. OTOH, what should be the gateway address? the modem-router-NATer one's? Finally, should I or not use: # (network-script network-nat) # (vif-script vif-nat) Given my working interface is eth1, should I apply any netdev=eth1 in there? For the moment, they're all commented out. Thank you for your help. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Yes, but not all partitions. Switching to runlevel 1 stops many daemons and all users except root. This allows to umount partitions such as /opt, /home, perhaps /usr, etc. But the "/" can not be umounted, nor /lib, /var, /etc, etcetera. So, yes, if you are going to do some maintenance jobs it is better to jump to runlevel 1, but sometimes it is not enough. On the other hand, it is also possible (I think) to remount a partition RO to check it. After all, that is what the boot scripts do to check the "/" during booting. The exception is "reiserfs": you really need to umount it to repair. That's why now and then appear people with weird problems in them (like unerasable unreachable files) and we tell them to fsck from the rescue system. HTH :-) - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

The value in /etc/sysconfig/syslog gets used, and if it's commented out the default value of 1 is used. A value of "5" turned out to be "chatty enough" for the sysctl message bodies.

[opensuse] Packman's k3b not writing DVDs correctly
I'm running openSUSE 10.2 on two different 64-bit machines. When I run the current packman version of k3b to burn a DVD iso, I get a checksum error on 'verify written data'. I also tried different media. Same error. I turned off packman and re-installed the distribution version 0.12.17-31. It works but gives me the pesky 'run K3bSetup' message and K3bSetup doesn't exist.

[opensuse] Help with palm
Hi all, I'm trying to get SuSE 10.2 to work with my girlfriend's Palm Z22. Currently, if I plug the USB connection in, I see /dev/pilot pop into existence, and it goes away if I unplug the device. However, that's it for anything useful. If I use pilot-xfer, it claims that the port /dev/pilot doesn't exist and quits. If I try to put the pilot-applet into the gnome panel, it stays red and won't do anything. The very first time, it got part way through its setup procedure, but then hung up when trying to read the user information from the palm device. TIA for any suggestions. Cheers, Simon.

Earlier I used k3b to do a 'copy dvd'->create an image only. The image's checksum did not match the original's. I just did the dd ... you suggested and new.iso did not match the original (it quit very quickly.) New.iso did match the image I did earlier. As near as I can tell, only k3b has changed. The distribution version works, packman's does not.

The k3b site says that the release candidate 4 for 1.0 was released on 9 January. That's the same date as packman's k3b-0.99.1.0rc4-100.pm.1.x86_64.rpm, so I guess that they're the same. The http://www.k3b.org feedback page shows some more comments about this problem. I'll add my 2 cents worth there.

Winfried You are correct in that setting a value in sysctl.conf is changed by the klogd parameter. The purpose of klogd is to extract kernel messages from the kernel buffer and pass them to the syslog-ng daemon. It is not its purpose to tune kernel parameters. The purpose of the sysctl command, and sysctl.conf at boot time, is to tune the writable parameters shown in /proc/sys. While many people use the echo command, you can modify the kernel log level at any time with the command sysctl -w kernel.printk=8. The log levels are 0 through 7, and the specified log level says print all message that are less than this value. This is different than syslog configuration, where the log level specifies values that are equal to or less than. Another reason for using sysctl.conf is that you control the log level earlier in the boot process. This may be important if you are looking for debug messages, which are log level 7.

I logged in today, left the room for over an hour, came back, and the screensaver was still working! I went into the KDE Control Center, Peripherals, Display, and that box you wanted me to uncheck which I couldn't because it was greyed out had automagically become unchecked! Not only that, but last night, there was a long horizontal button on that first screen that took me to a sub-menu with several categories. Today, that button has disappeared and been replaced with three trackbars, all grayed out, that say "Standby After", "Suspend After", and "Power Off After". I. e., the entire appearance has changed! The only thing I did last night was to click on that long button, which took me to a sub-menu with 4 different listbox items, go into each category under each listbox item, and uncheck everything on the two tabbed menus that were under each category. That still didn't work, but I didn't re-boot after making those changes. Apparently, simply re-booting the system today caused the system to see that everything was unselected at the detail level and so it just unchecked the box on the first panel automatically and replaced that oblong button with the three greyed out sliders.

[opensuse] makeSUSEdvd - The ISO doesn't boot.
Hi, i'm trying to create a bootable ISO image with makeSUSEdvd, but I'm doing it this way: 1. I copy everything from openSuSE 10.2 DVD to a directory, for example /tmp/dvd_build, except the "suse" directory (using "find" with -prune). 2. I use "find" to create only the "suse" directory tree, as I want just to try and don't need any package. 3. I run: makeSUSEdvd -r /tmp/dvd_build -C I'm asked to enter my passphrase, everything ok, just some warnings about EXTRA_PROV not found but finally it creates the iso image. I try to boot a VMWare VM with the iso but it can't boot. Am I wrong using that method for makeSUSEdvd? How can I use makeSUSEdvd without downloading the 1st openSuSE 10.2 CD?

Thanks for the suggestion. However, at my level of knowledge this looks a
bit intimidating. Also, with all of those firewall messages going off to a
side file now the other files are all of a fairly manageable size for me.
My installation is pretty vanilla and I don't really get all that many
messages other than those that relate to the firewall. But, I'll save this
note so that if I find myself getting bogged down wading through too many
lines at some point then I might get motivated to try to take this project
on.
Thanks for the suggestion,
Greg Wallace

They only need to agree. I'm still confused about this. My BIOS doesn't have the ability to use UTC vs Local. Plus, I haven't changed my clock configuration since 8.1 and have never had this problem before, so I guess it's something new with 10.2.

Ok. I always thought that the only time an fsck was invoked was when the number of mounts you had done equaled the setting for that. In the past when an fsck occurred it was always accompanied by a message saying something like "number of mounts since last check exceeded. fsck forced", or something to that effect. Otherwise, I don't ever seeing the words fsck in the log at all. Now it's in the log every time I boot. Maybe it was there before and I just didn't notice it. >> Here is a list of all of the rpmnews on my system. >> >> /etc/cups/printers.conf.rpmnew >> /etc/init.d/smbfs.rpmnew >> /etc/inittab.rpmnew >> /etc/krb5.conf.rpmnew >> /etc/ldap.conf.rpmnew >> /etc/localtime.rpmnew >> /etc/magic.rpmnew >> /etc/networks.rpmnew >> /etc/nsswitch.conf.rpmnew >> /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/k3b/k3bsetup.rpmnew >> /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/khelpcenterrc.rpmnew >> /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kioslaverc.rpmnew >> /etc/postfix/main.cf.rpmnew >> /etc/samba/lmhosts.rpmnew >> /etc/samba/smb.conf.rpmnew >> /etc/samba/smb.conf.rpmnew~ >> /etc/samba/smbfstab.rpmnew >> /etc/samba/smbpasswd.rpmnew >> /etc/sane.d/dll.conf.rpmnew >> /etc/security/pam_unix2.conf.rpmnew >> /etc/sudoers.rpmnew >> /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf.rpmnew >> /etc/X11/qtrc.rpmnew >> /etc/xinetd.d/swat.rpmnew >> /opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc.rpmnew >> /etc/udev/rules.d/30-net_persistent_names.rules.rpmnew >> /usr/sbin/useradd.local.rpmnew >> >You should really go through every one of those files and either replace >the orig with the newer one, or at least deal with all those config >files.

Yeah. I just recently (a few weeks ago) became aware of what it meant to have RPMNEW files. Should I go through them one by one and see if the date of the RPMNEW is later than the date of the RPM (else, the RPMNEW was created in an earlier install and the RPM would actually be the latest version, right?). For those where the RPMNEW is the latest, is it pretty safe to just swap them in for the regular rpm file? I guess I'd want to do them a few at a time so that if I foul up my system I'll know which one to swap back. >-- >Joe Morris >Registered Linux user 231871 running openSUSE 10.2 x86_64 Greg Wallace -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
