Re: SLES11SP2 Installation Problem

A good way to know is running a showmount -e on the laptop. If it returns the contents of your /etc/exports, we have to think about what else could possibly be wrong. If don't, look on dmesg or /var/log/messages to see any informative error messages. Mauro http://mauro.limeiratem.com - registered

Re: OT: similar forum, but for Linux on Intel?

I would recommend this list too. This list have a lot of experience, and a lot of us are Linux on Intel users too... We have people having firewall issues, people having trouble to mount a volume group, and people spotting bugs on drivers. And almost all problems are solved. On Feb 5, 2013 9:15

Re: What is this error?

I suspect the build routine failed to identify the correct architecture and got the wrong endian in this case. A bug report should be filled so the devs can fix it upstream. On Jan 28, 2013 9:24 PM, Tom Huegel tehue...@gmail.com wrote: [root@fedora ~]# file $(which xrdp) /usr/sbin/xrdp: ELF

Re: What is this error?

On xrdp mailing list, there's something about it: http://www.mail-archive.com/xrdp-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg00278.html It is because the auto endianess detection is not working properly. If you download the source, grep-it for B_ENDIAN, define the endianess on the files as that link

Try telnet ip-of-the-server 5902... If it don't goes thru, I would bet there's a firewall somewhere blocking access. A tcptraceroute to that IP and port will show you who is blocking the connection. Mauro http://mauro.limeiratem.com - registered Linux User: 294521 Scripture is both history, and

Re: Missing font libs

You should be able to connect fine even without all those fonts. They have been ignored, and are not an error. If you have not changed the default, you can connect your vncviewer to the port 5901. Mauro http://mauro.limeiratem.com - registered Linux User: 294521 Scripture is both history, and a

Re: Still can't install on z196.

Yes, it's a very good progress! Now you have to know why you cannot connect. If you are a lucky owner of a linux box, use tcptraceroute to trace the route to 172.17.51.126, tcp port 5901. If you cannot get there, you will know where the packets are hitting a wall (or a firewall). Maybe you will

Re: Still can't install on z196.

Maybe not related to your problem, but I would get rid of that cio_ignore=all,!0.0.0009 if you are running under zVM. It will bring you lots of frustration when, after the system is installed, you cannot put another DASD online because you forgot that the cio_ignore is ignoring the new DASD you

If you are on TCPMAINT, run NETSTAT DEV, it will show you the interfaces TCPIP is using. Try a NETSTAT HOME and NETSTAT GATE too, is possible that the IP addresses of DNS and gateway are incorrect. If you are on MAINT, run VMLINK TCPMAINT 592 before that commands. Mauro

Re: QETH issue?

Yes, I have seen this on every sles guest I installed on a client. Seems like sles don't do an arp request or arp announce (I don't remember the arp direction now) when it puts the interface online. I put there a hack that solved. After all initialization scripts I sent a ping -c 3 to the gateway.
