Re: suse 7.2 7.3
On October 24, 2001 04:14 pm, Keith Antoine wrote: No as I installed it on 3 other machines also I tried both the cd and dvd neither worked. Is this by chance the 7.3 upgrade as opposed to a full install? (Perhaps I missed that). If so, according to the SuSE list there are known issues with it (there have been a number of threads discussing this). Apparently, like Caldera, SuSE's upgrade install programs are invariably a challenge. Most of the seasoned SuSE users recommend getting the full version, backing up your data, then doing a full fresh install from scratch. Sad, really, that we have come so far over the past few years in Linux - we can run it as superclusters and in mainframes - but we can't seem to get consistently fool-proof OS upgrades. -- burns ___ Linux-users mailing list Archives, Digests, etc at http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users

I've got a Dobie right now. Darn fine dog and I'd love another. I've also got a house of kids - what's the temperament of the parents around kids? Mark Storm, the mother, was raised alongside my 7 year-old daughters. She's one of the best natured dogs of any breed I've ever met.

Does anyone have preference for DAT drives, backup software, hardware config.? I have about 8 servers with several drives that I backup nightly which about 50gig per night. Currently we are using ArcServe 6.6 on NT 4.0 with 12/24 dat drives. It works ok but I have to baby-sit it about once every three months. Is there anything in the Linux world that is comparable??

(3) The autohide pref is now honored, so you can uncheck it in the preferences dialog to keep the tab strip visible all the time. (4) You can now drag a URL to a tab and have it load in that tab. Whether or not the tab comes to the front when you drop is based off the background loading pref (the same one used when you middle-click a link). (5) You can now drag a URL to the tab strip and have it open a new tab. Again, whether or not the new tab is focused is based off the pref.

This is probably a simple one, but I've missed it thus far. How does one/what control access to directories with or without a '/' after them? For example...on a freshly installed 1.3.22 the manual pages are found under http://hostname/manual/ and the trailing slash is necessary...but this isn't always, or hasn't always been the case in the past. For example, 'http://hostname' works w/ or w/out the slash. It's a niggly thing and really not of huge importance, but I'd like to understand this.

Fwd: [suse-announce-usa] SuSE Linux 7.3 now shipping!
fyi -- Forwarded Message -- Subject: [suse-announce-usa] SuSE Linux 7.3 now shipping! Date: Thu, 25 Oct 2001 10:33:45 -0700 (PDT) From: Holger Dyroff [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dear SuSE Linux customers and friends, We started shipping the brand new SuSE Linux 7.3 yesterday! We should have all of the pre-orders in the mail by Friday, and it should be in the retail stores (Best Buy, CompUSA, Fry's, Microcenter and Borders by the middle of next week. SuSE Linux 7.3 offers high-end enterprise and standard desktop users advantages in security, stability and a greatly improved ergonomical user interface with new image, graphics and audio features. As security becomes a higher priority among home and office users, SuSE Linux 7.3 responds by offering the possibility of a Personal Firewall straight from the installation process. A user-friendly graphical front-end allows easy firewall configuration. The resulting security makes it simple to protect your host or network against unauthorized access. Furthermore, SuSE's crypto file system ensures that sensitive data is secure even if someone's entire hardware is stolen. SuSE YOU (YaST Online Update) ensures that the Linux system always stays up-to-date. Upon request, SuSE YOU connects to the SuSE ftp server and automatically installs the desired security updates and bug fixes free of charge. New improvements for the desktop include KDE 2.2.1, the latest version of KDE's highly ergonomical user interface. New print assistant guides the user safely through the protocol jungle of lpr and cups. In Linux Kernel 2.4.10 and glibc 2.2.4, SuSE Linux 7.3 provides state-of-the art Linux technology. Private users will appreciate an extended range of drivers and improved USB support. The automatic hardware detection feature has been considerably expanded to include even more components, i.e. CD writers, Scanners and TV cards, which enables the setup tool, YaST2, to complete the installation and Internet connection almost entirely by itself. Software RAID support enhances performance and provides reliable protection against data losses. Linux professionals will be eager to try out the runlevel editor for the selective activation of server services. For the first time, the scope includes YaST2 modules for administering NIS servers as well as NIS and LDAP clients. For further details, including package descriptions, please have a look at http://www.suse.com/us/products/suse_linux/i386/index.html SuSE Linux can be ordered directly from http://http://www.shop.suse.com/shop.suse.com SuSE Linux 7.3 Professional (7 CDs, 1 DVD, 5 manuals, 90 days of installation support) is USD $79.95 SuSE Linux 7.3 Professional Update (7CDs, 1 DVD, 1 manual) is USD $49.95 SuSE Linux 7.3 Personal (3 CDs, 3 manuals, 60 days of installation support) is USD $39.95 Have a lot of fun!

Date: Thu, 25 Oct 2001 10:33:45 -0700 (PDT) From: Holger Dyroff [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dear SuSE Linux customers and friends, We started shipping the brand new SuSE Linux 7.3 yesterday! We should have all of the pre-orders in the mail by Friday, and it should be in the retail stores (Best Buy, CompUSA, Fry's, Microcenter and Borders by the middle of next week. SuSE Linux 7.3 offers high-end enterprise and standard desktop users advantages in security, stability and a greatly improved ergonomical user interface with new image, graphics and audio features. As security becomes a higher priority among home and office users, SuSE Linux 7.3 responds by offering the possibility of a Personal Firewall straight from the installation process. A user-friendly graphical front-end allows easy firewall configuration. The resulting security makes it simple to protect your host or network against unauthorized access. Furthermore, SuSE's crypto file system ensures that sensitive data is secure even if someone's entire hardware is stolen. SuSE YOU (YaST Online Update) ensures that the Linux system always stays up-to-date. Upon request, SuSE YOU connects to the SuSE ftp server and automatically installs the desired security updates and bug fixes free of charge. New improvements for the desktop include KDE 2.2.1, the latest version of KDE's highly ergonomical user interface. New print assistant guides the user safely through the protocol jungle of lpr and cups. In Linux Kernel 2.4.10 and glibc 2.2.4, SuSE Linux 7.3 provides state-of-the art Linux technology. Private users will appreciate an extended range of drivers and improved USB support. The automatic hardware detection feature has been considerably expanded to include even more components, i.e. CD writers, Scanners and TV cards, which enables the setup tool, YaST2, to complete the installation and Internet connection almost entirely by itself. Software RAID support enhances performance and provides reliable protection against data losses. Linux professionals will be eager to try out the runlevel editor for the selective activation of server services. For the first time, the scope includes YaST2 modules for administering NIS servers as well as NIS and LDAP clients. For further details, including package descriptions, please have a look at http://www.suse.com/us/products/suse_linux/i386/index.html SuSE Linux can be ordered directly from http://http://www.shop.suse.com/shop.suse.com SuSE Linux 7.3 Professional (7 CDs, 1 DVD, 5 manuals, 90 days of installation support) is USD $79.95 SuSE Linux 7.3 Professional Update (7CDs, 1 DVD, 1 manual) is USD $49.95 SuSE Linux 7.3 Personal (3 CDs, 3 manuals, 60 days of installation support) is USD $39.95 Have a lot of fun!

Re: CD-RW install puzzles
Previously, Susan Macchia chose to write: Bingo ! This was the problem! Doh...when I removed /dev/sr1 and changed the minor number to 1, it worked fine! Thanks for everyone's help on this - an interesting learning experience. But I am still curious why I have to have both cdrom/rw emulating scsi. Why wouldn't my hard drives suffer the same problem? Please forgive my sys-admin ignorance. AFAIK, you don't need SCSI em for either, unless you want to use them with the CD-burning software that's available under linux. For whatever reason, all the CD-burning software I've run accross requires that the burners be SCSI. The CD-ROM, if you want to burn on the fly, needs to be SCSI, too, or the software won't see it. Your hard drives don't suffer the same problem because, well, because they don't, that's why... or maybe it's because the OS is what needs to talk to your hard drives. The OS understands IDE, so SCSI-em is not required. (Although, if you're masochistic enough, you could probly convince the OS to use SCSI-em to talk to your HDDs...) Regards, Tim IIRC, both of these drives are actually IDE and you're doin' SCSI-emulation, right? And, you did some mknod's on your own, right? From your previous post: $ mknod /dev/sr0 b 11 0 and $ mknod /dev/sr1 b 11 0 I never saw this snippet before, but this is obliviously (sic) an error. Thats a block device, major 11, minor 0 mapped to both /dev/sr0 and /dev/sr1 If /dev/sr0 gets mounted, then obviously /dev/sr1 is also mounted, thus 'busy' if you try to mount /dev/sr1 somewhere whilst /dev/sr0 is mounted. su root unmount all cd devices rm /dev/sr1 mknod /dev/sr1 b 11 1 = _ Susan Macchia mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] _ - Running Linux - because life is too short for reboots... __ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: backup routines/etc.
On Thu, 25 Oct 2001, Schmeits, Roger wrote: Does anyone have preference for DAT drives, backup software, hardware config.? I have about 8 servers with several drives that I backup nightly which about 50gig per night. Currently we are using ArcServe 6.6 on NT 4.0 with 12/24 dat drives. It works ok but I have to baby-sit it about once every three months. Is there anything in the Linux world that is comparable?? Platforms covers Microsoft NT 4.0, win2k, Exchange 5.5., MS SQL2000, Linux Redhat 7.1, and a variety of Sybase DB's. In light of Sept.11 our org. is re-evaluating our backup routine and what it would that you recover if necessary. My opinion is that 50GB is large enough to warrant some type of tape library and a software frontend that manages it and the tapes used for backup. I currently am responsible for managing backups for an enviroment that is comprised of roughly 100 Sun Microsystems computers of various flavours and about 8 WINnt hosts thrown in for good measure. This is driven by a Sun Enterprise 420R with 4 cpu's and 4GB of ram with a Quantum/ATL 7100 (4 DLT 700 Drives installed, 7 possible, with 100 tapes available) using Veritas's Netbackup Datacenter Software. Serious overkill for this environment, but Marketing's expectations were bigger than the public's willingness to participate. One aspect I particularly like about Netbackup is that it uses gnu-tar to write the data to tape, so if your database of backup's gets mucked up you can still recover backups with standard unix commands. I know they support all the OS's you listed above. And I believe they have a server product that works on linux. Also another one I've been pleasantly with is Arkeia. With your experience with ArcServe, my opinion is that you can pick it up rather quickly. I've only worked with the downloadable evaluation version. The interface is straight forward but can't get a feel for it's networked capabilities. The other route is the total free one, price but not labor. Amanda is one. Customized scripts using standard unix commands are another. Check out www.backupcentral.com ___ Linux-users mailing list Archives, Digests, etc at http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
