Hello everyone,
About a month ago I upgraded my SuSE 6.0 (2.0.36) to kernel 2.2.7
Yesterday I installed samba and ran into a big problem. Neither Win
NT4 nor Win95 could see the linux box in their network. Ping & telnet
worked fine. I changed delted the /etc/smb.conf file and replaced it
with a very basic one (workgroup and home directories). Now both Win
clients can connect to samba using "NET USE \\linuxbox\service" or
search for it and find it, connect to remote drives, but the linux
server does not show up in the network neighborhood. Suggestions are
welcome :-)
It basically works but it lacks ease of use.
A much bigger problem is the following. About 3 times a day (after 1
to 12 hours uptime) the linux box locks up for about 2 minutes and
then the x server crashes. with a "BUS error". Today was particularly
violent: Windowmaker crashed and reported a "signal 7: bus error". I
went to the console to reboot and... nothing. no reboot. The screen
said "System going down for reboot now..." and nothing happened. Same
for the halt command.
The system logs at the time of crash said the following:
signal 7 (Bus error)
INIT:PANIC: segmentation violation. giving up.
Could someone please tell me what a signal 7 is?
Thanks in advance.
Patrick
