That can fix weird problems like you seem to have. My best guess as to what may have happened is that the install wasn't as smooth as it seemed. I've had installs go bad and the resulting system just had too many unrelated to each other problems that a re-install seemed less time consuming than trying to fix it all. It worked. The 2nd time worked just fine. Same system hardware, same install media, different end results. I know others on this list have had similar experiences and on many different versions of SUSE.

It seems to be related to the network: X serverb crash at the same time on the two boxes. The other is unaffected. When I unplugged the network of one box, it does not crash anymore, while the other do. It is not related to the proprietary driver (nvidia on both, however not the same release since one card is too old and must use legacy driver), since the use of the opensource driver (nv) does not fix the problem. One major differences between the two first box and the one which do not crash is it uses Xgl as X server, while the two other uses Xorg 6.8 and 6.9. When it crash, the X server is killed and restarts automatically. Is anyone has any ideas ? I join parts of two log files : I masked my IP. Do you mean that these boxes are available on the internet, with VNC? It won't have anything to do with your crashes, but it's not a very good idea. VNC is totally unencrypted, and should not be used on unprotected networks such as the Internet Is there another log file to look at ? Xorg-log is not very helpfull. Is someone logged in at the time of the crash, or is it just the kdm/gdm login screen? It might help to look at the log file for the display manager you're using It might also be useful to enable coredumps for the X server. I *think* you can do this by adding the line ulimit -c unlimited to the /etc/init.d/xdm start script, and restarting the display manager with rcxdm stop; rcxdm start I say I think that's how you do it. By that I mean that's how you normally do it. I'm just not sure if it will work for X, since it's multiple processes starting there. But I think it will work. Once you have the core file, it can be investigated. You can, for example, open a bug at bugzilla.novell.com, to get someone to look at it Thank you for the reply Anders, I upgraded the 10.1 box to 10.2 and problem disappeared. On the other box, upgrade is not as easy (I did not put /home on a separate partition, silly me). However, your hint about VNC was probably good. I looked at the firewall ports open, and found that I (Yast ?) opened both 5800 and 5900 port which are required for VNC over http I believe. I do not use this feature. I need a VNC connection but I use krdc for it (and it is protected by a password). After blocking these 2 ports as well as 2 other ones (631 and X) (I don't remember the second one and I dont remember why i opened them !) the X server do not crash anymore.

2007/6/24, Nat Friedman [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi everyone, At Novell we've been planning a special internal event that will run this week, from June 25th to 29th. We're calling it Hack Week. During Hack Week, our entire Linux engineering team -- hundreds of people -- will be working on whatever Linux or open source projects interest them. Everyone will work alone or in teams, on existing open source projects or new ideas of their own. No one will tell them what or what not to do -- it's a free week for free hacking, driven by individual passion. To make it easier for our hackers to find and publicize their projects, we've created an Idea Pool web site where we've all spent the last couple of weeks sharing ideas and finding collaborators.

Re: [opensuse] fileserver box to box swap
I didn't mean to discourage you. My problem might not be relevant to you. I could not find other people complaining so either I am one of very few people that have a file server with the $HOME directories of the users, or my problem is very rare. Good luck Thanks. It was a lot easier than I thought. The time consuming bit is the several hours of rsync it takes. I'm sure there must be a simpler and more elegant way. Anyway here is a step by step: Server box for box swap This server installation involves three computers on a 192.168.1.0/24 network. sbs3: the existing SuSE 9.3 nfs server exporting /home to 19 clients. This box is also a nis server for the domain sbsnet2. There are around 200 users. sbs29: an old amd duron with 256Mb and 68Gb virgin disk sbs37; a box on the lan which holds a backup copy of the /home folder without the dot files under /data2/home 1.Install text only 10.2 on sbs29. Add yast2-nfs-server, yast2-nis-server and ypserv. I did 10, 48 and 8GB partitions for /, /home and /var respectively. Setup your network card as 192.168.1.29, sbs29. 2.On sbs3, copy /etc/group, /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow to the account of a nis user. 3.rsync /home on sbs37 one last time before the swap 4.install yast2-nfs-server on sbs37 5.Use yast-nfs-server to export /data2/home from sbs37 to sbs29 6.on sbs29 mount /data2/home under /mnt (mount -t nfs 192.168.1.37:/data2/home /mnt) 7.on sbs29 copy /etc/group, etc/passwd and /etc/shadow from the user account (now under /mnt) to /etc on sbs29 8.on sbs29, rsync -auzv /mnt/* /home 9.on sbs29 use yast nfs server to export /home rw read-write to * 10.turn off all clients 11.pull the network cable on sbs3 12.use yast network devices network card to reassign sbs29 to sbs3 13.on ex-sbs29, now the new sbs3, fire up yast2 nis server configure master server domain sbsnet2 14.on ex-sbs29, now the new sbs3, rcnetwork restart, rcnfsserver restart, rcypserv restart 15.fire up a client The first time you login it takes a while, especially if you use kdm to go into kde. I think this was due to there not being any dot files available. The next time you log in it's fine. I'm now in the process of rsyncing all the dot files over to the new server as well. After a year of heavy academic use and abuse, the hidden files account for around 70% of /home. Something I must look into. Also, at peak times the old amd just doesn't cope, especially at the start of lessons when everyone is logging in and loading files and a the end when saving and logging off. Any comments gratefully received. There must be a better way. Cheers, Steve. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The problem is that being a non-expert, I have a difficult time applying some of that to SuSE. SuSE-specific part you can always refer to Andreas Gruenbacher's documentation which is included in the SuSE kernel sources. I have and it is helping me.

Doc 1 has a really nice summary of the steps for building but doesn't mention keeping the old kernel. Is there some really easy way to keep the old? I vaguely remember something about copying /boot/vmlinuz. Do I copy that and the /boot/initrd-x.img files then tamper with /boot/grub/menu.lst to include the old one? Am I understanding the process correctly if I modify doc 1 instructions like this (1) Install kernel-source.$ARCH.rpm. Change to the /usr/src/linux directory. (2) Configure the kernel (for example, ``make oldconfig'' or ``make cloneconfig'', see HOW TO CONFIGURE THE KERNEL SOURCES). (3) Copy /boot/vmlinuz and /boot/initrd-x.img (4) Build the kernel and all its modules (``make''). (5) Install the kernel and the modules (``make modules_install'', followed by ``make install''). This will automatically create an initrd for the new kernel as well (see ``mkinitrd -h''). (6) Add the kernel to the boot manager. When using lilo, run ``lilo'' to update the boot map.

[...] (5) Install the kernel and the modules (``make modules_install'', followed by ``make install''). I would not recommend using make install for various reasons (I made some bad experiences with this command). It's really simple to do it by hand: first of all, you have to make sure that the kernel you are going to compile has a unique kernel version. With SuSE kernel sources, you can do that at configuration time, you don't have to change the kernel Makefile. Simply add a local version string under general setup (I hope this is still the correct way to do it, I have no 10.2 here, only a SuSE 10.0 system). Then compile the kernel and the modules. All of this can be done as normal user. To install the modules and the kernel, you have to become root. As root, use make modules_install to install the kernel modules. This will create a directory under /lib/modules, e.g. 2.6.20.2-local (here, you can see the string that has been added as mentioned above to avoid a clash with any default SuSE kernel or any other kernel on the system). Then you have to copy the kernel image and System.map, here an example for i386 architecture (you're in the top-level directory of the kernel sources or in the build directory if you used one for the kernel compilation): $ cp ./arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.20.2-local $ cp ./System.map /boot/System.map-2.6.20.2-local Finally, you have to create an initial ramdisk. The actual command to do that will vary depending on whether you want a bootsplash etc., see the mkinitrd help for details. $ cd /boot $ mkinitrd -k vmlinuz-2.6.20.2-local -i initrd-2.6.20.2-local And last but not least, you have to add the new kernel to your bootloader config. If you have an existing section in grub's menu.lst like title linux root (hd0,5) kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda6 vga=0x342 resume=/dev/hda7 initrd /boot/initrd then just copy that and make the necessary changes: title linux.new root (hd0,5) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.20.2-local root=/dev/hda6 vga=0x342 resume=/dev/hda7 == this should be at the end of the previous line initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.20.2-local Of course, this here is only an example which will most likely not work on your system. That's all. Now you should reboot and select the new kernel in the grub menu. If you configured your kernel correctly and if there are no other problems (you've installed the kernel correctly and you made all necessary changes to menu.lst, etc.) then the new kernel should boot successfully. If you used any third-party closed-source kernel modules with the old kernel, then you have to recompile those modules for the new kernel. If one of those modules is required to boot the system, then you have to do that before rebooting the system and add it to initrd; otherwise booting the new kernel will end with a kernel panic. However, if you followed the steps mentioned above, you would then be able to boot the old kernel again to solve the problems... ;-) HTH, Th. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Perhaps this is not the right list for this. If not, please direct me to the correct one. I am running SLES9.3 on a Sun x4600 system.

These drives are connected to a LSI SAS 1064 internal RAID controller chip. The old kernel (2.6.5-7.244-smp) required that I put mptsas in /etc/sysconfig/kernel as an INITRD_MODULES option. I've read that I need to switch to mptbase which I did. I also added the mptctl, mptsas and mptscsih all as initrd modules. No luck. Has anyone done this on this hardware?

Re: [opensuse] Bash automatic screen
On Thursday 28 June 2007 14:56, Jan Karjalainen wrote: Konsole is what I'm using. But Konsole doesn' t seem to try reconnection to an existing session. I'll see what I can come up with after playing with .bash_profile. Two things: 1) .bash_profile or .bash_login are likely to prove problematic. They're invoked to get your entire KDE session going, not just for the interactive shells in, say, Konsole. I'd suggest using the pstree command to see the family history of processes that make up a working KDE session. 2) You can reconfigure / redefine or define your own Konsole sessions. You should be able to make a variant of the existing Screen that re-attaches (or whatever it is you do with Screen). And don't overlook the possibility of a simple shell script to set up the kind of Screen session you need. All in all, I'd steer clear of the .bash_* files, since they're likely to be invoked for purposes and at times that would be inappropriate to get Screen involved. Good luck.

[opensuse] WOL won't use files
I've installed wol (wake on lan) on my system. While it works fine if I supply the mac address as part of the command, it doesn't read the mac from a file. I've tried both wol -f filename and wol --file=filename. Even using wolfilename doesn't work.

Hello all, I will be giving workshop on Opensuse Installation to a local LUG. We will use a LCD projector connected to my notebook. But, I understand that notebook cannot show it's display to the LCD Projector during boot and/or installation? If it's true, is there anyway we can workaround this problem?
