I am sure I am not the most qualified but I did do systems admin for
a school for a few years and I can hold my own in a debate with a
windows advocate.  

What time and place do you need someone?

&gt; &gt;Mike and All:
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt;That's it!  Worked perfectly!
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt;I changed the permissions on /tmp as you suggested,
&gt; &gt;re-booted, and found xfs running with ps -ef and an
&gt; &gt;&quot;.xfont-unix&quot; directory under /tmp.  And no &quot;Fatal
&gt; &gt;error&quot; message.
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt;Now I wonder if the permissions on the other directories
&gt; &gt;under &quot;/&quot; are correct.  Most are &quot;drwxr-xr-x&quot; (as was
&gt; &gt;&quot;/tmp&quot; before I changed it.)  Is Linux great or what?
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt;Anyway, many, many thanks.
&gt; &gt;

&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt;Typically, at least in my experiences, /tmp is used for all sorts of
&gt; &gt;sockets, and it is okay to dump /tmp between sessions (in fact, I do
&gt; &gt;it all the time on my machines, a reboot will kill the whole thing,
&gt; &gt;and a reboot happens once every month.  (This just prevents me from
&gt; &gt;forgetting things are there; I run 'df' fairly freqently, however, I
&gt; &gt;tend to put off emptying /tmp, lol, and it can sometimes get quite
&gt; &gt;large.)
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt;However, if you've changed /tmp, you may want to ensure that its
&gt; &gt;permissions are properly set:
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt;    drwxrwxrwt  11 root root    18 2005-09-28 00:57 tmp/
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt;It is slipping my mind at the moment the details behind it, but I do
&gt; &gt;seem to recall 1777 as being the proper octal permissions associated
&gt; &gt;with the permission string there.  I could be wrong on that,
&gt; &gt;however... it does mean that it's a &quot;sticky&quot; directory, which
&gt; &gt;(slightly) enhances security.  Many apps out there will silently fail
&gt; &gt;if they can't create a socket that can only be removed by them.

&gt; &gt; &gt; Guys,
&gt; &gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; &gt; Just rebooted my ubuntu box after doing a dist-upgrade last
&gt; &gt; &gt; night, and now I no longer have keyboard functionality.  The
&gt; &gt; &gt; keyboard works fine in the bios and in grub, but as soon as I
&gt; &gt; &gt; select a kernel and boot it no longer responds. I first thought
&gt; &gt; &gt; it might be related to the upgrade, so I dropped a live ubuntu cd
&gt; &gt; &gt; in...same behavior...fine in grub and bios, screwed as soon as it
&gt; &gt; &gt; loaded the kernel.
&gt; &gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; &gt; Otherwise the box operates fine...I can boot it up and ssh in.
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt;I had a similar problem under Ubuntu. The problem was that the
&gt; &gt;machine had a USB keyboard, and I had AT keyboard emulation enabled
&gt; &gt;in the BIOS. Linux detected the AT keyboard at boot time, but
&gt; &gt;something during the kernel init process disabled the BIOS AT
&gt; &gt;emulation (IIRC), and the kernel was left with a nonexistent primary
&gt; &gt;keyboard. When I disabled the BIOS AT kbd emulation, Linux detected
&gt; &gt;the USB device as the primary keyboard, and all was well.
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt;Cheers,

&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt;Jeff,
&gt; &gt;You can actually just use the first CD to get a ftp install from the
&gt; &gt;ALE ftp server going.  Or choose the minimal install first and then
&gt; &gt;configure Yast2 to point to the ALE ftp server for it's sources
&gt; &gt;instead of a CD or DVD.  If you don't need non-gpl based software
&gt; &gt;and do have ACPI issues then the suse 10 RC1 candidate distro is
&gt; &gt;available from mirrors off the opensuse.org site.  I found my laptop
&gt; &gt;was much better understood by the ACPI modules and thereby the
&gt; &gt;kernel when I tried it. I think SUSE 10 hits the market around the
&gt; &gt;end of October or early November.  If your machine is a 64 bit then
&gt; &gt;suse 9.3 runs great and has a option during initial booting to
&gt; &gt;install 64 or 32 bit.  I think one of the function keys switches the
&gt; &gt;mode.  The Bitstream fonts (which I like) are not installed by
&gt; &gt;default.  Also, the DVD or ftp install will make some packages
&gt; &gt;available that aren't on the CDs.  Another tip, Suse will allow user
&gt; &gt;control of interfaces such as wifi and lan.  If you have both
&gt; &gt;enabled for DHCP and to be initialized at boot then the default
&gt; &gt;route gets assigned to the lan and not the wifi.  So, don't
&gt; &gt;initialize the lan at boot and do initialize the wifi to fix this.
&gt; &gt;Or, go static IP and set the default route for at least one of the
&gt; &gt;two.  Powersaved is the package that runs all the ACPI and
&gt; &gt;powersaving functions.  It runs as a wrapper accepting all the
&gt; &gt;modules messages and processing events, the config files are all
&gt; &gt;under /etc/sysconfig/powersaved.  Suse uses the /etc/init.d startup
&gt; &gt;scripts sys/V style with symlinks in the rcX.d directories.  They've
&gt; &gt;got a plan and methodology outlined in the Yast2 manuals so install
&gt; &gt;the books and help files so you can read up on it. You should use
&gt; &gt;the checkconfig command and the insserv command for dealing with
&gt; &gt;runlevel at the command line.  Yast2 will do users, groups, modify
&gt; &gt;runlevels, recover a damaged MBR, configure NFS, and bunch of other
&gt; &gt;stuff.  There are updated versions of mozilla and other software
&gt; &gt;projects, not just security patches, available on the suse ftp
&gt; &gt;server. I hope they will continue with this as they transition to
&gt; &gt;the opensuse.org staging.  You can elect, after you get your
&gt; &gt;installation finished, to add nvidia accelerated graphics, all kinds
&gt; &gt;of multimedia related stuff, and important Openoffice.org patches in
&gt; &gt;addition to the security patching when updating with Yast2 Online
&gt; &gt;Update, called YOU. If you don't install the xine stuff via YOU, you
&gt; &gt;can go to <a  rel="nofollow" href="http://packman.links2linux.org/";>http://packman.links2linux.org/</a>  and get a bunch of rpms
&gt; &gt;such as Mplayer, the dvd decrypt code and so on.  There is a nice
&gt; &gt;script that will download the decrypt source for you and compile and
&gt; &gt;install it. The win32 codecs are there as well.  I usually download
&gt; &gt;all that stuff into a directory and point Yast2 to that as well as
&gt; &gt;the ftp site in the Change Installation Sources Yast2 module.  It
&gt; &gt;saves trouble with dependencies since you can get into a problem
&gt; &gt;with xine packages interfering with your install of other multimedia
&gt; &gt;stuff.  Checkinstall is available to use for source to rpm
&gt; &gt;convenience in Suse.  Also, Bob reviewed the Suse firewall scripts
&gt; &gt;for his last book and found they were adequate for what they do.
&gt; &gt;I've used them when necessary and the basic config script is in /etc/
&gt; &gt;sysconfig as well.  There are links on the Opensuse site for suse
&gt; &gt;based forums and resources.  Autoupdate for YOU is available and
&gt; &gt;will auto install typical security patches that don't require a
&gt; &gt;confirmation such as the kernel or any patch you've marked
&gt; &gt;previously as taboo.  One last point, the nvidia driver downloaded
&gt; &gt;by YOU is a outdated one now that has some bugs in it.  I would
&gt; &gt;download a later one, either by hand, or by modifying the
&gt; &gt;fetchnvidia script downloaded and used by YOU to do the install.
&gt; &gt;Kernel updates require a recompile of the nvidia driver, so I've
&gt; &gt;just used the nvidia native installer script to handle that.  I've
&gt; &gt;got six 9.3 machines I manage so appreciate the Yast2 and YOU
&gt; &gt;stuff.  There is a lot of SUSE related help for each package in the
&gt; &gt;help files for a package under /usr/share/doc/packages.  Usually a
&gt; &gt;SUSE.README exists for a package with suse specific info, sometimes
&gt; &gt;not.  I bet Geoffrey can add advice here too!  Sorry about this
&gt; &gt;email being a bit of a ramble!
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt;Nedit is missing now from the distro.  :-(
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt;I like its spreadsheet like copy and paste in a text processor.  Best
&gt; &gt;wishes,

&gt; &gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; &gt;Did you have to download and burn ISOs to CD-R?  Is there a way to
&gt; &gt; &gt;boot to just one CD and then do the rest from a local NFS/SMB/FTP
&gt; &gt; &gt;server or from an Internet source?
&gt; &gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; &gt;I've got my wife's laptop running on Gentoo but things like CDs,
&gt; &gt; &gt;Wifi, USB, etc. are not managed well (yes, it's because I haven't
&gt; &gt; &gt;explicitly *set them up* to be managed well - an acknowledged
&gt; &gt; &gt;Gentoo bugaboo) and I wouldn't mind setting her up with a
&gt; &gt; &gt;different distro.

&gt; &gt; &gt;&gt;Having re-sized my WinNT partition dramatically (40-&gt;10Gby), I
&gt; &gt; &gt;&gt;decided to try Linux installation. I installed SuSe-9.3 from a
&gt; &gt; &gt;&gt;downloaded CD set ...
&gt; &gt; &gt;&gt;
&gt; &gt; &gt;&gt;Results were even better than I hoped.
&gt; &gt; &gt;&gt;
&gt; &gt; &gt;&gt;1) No problem setting up my partitions, including 8GBy as Fat32
&gt; &gt; &gt;&gt;for mutual WinXP and Linux use.
&gt; &gt; &gt;&gt;
&gt; &gt; &gt;&gt;2) No problem identifying the peripherals in my Fry's house-brand
&gt; &gt; &gt;&gt;laptop.
&gt; &gt; &gt;&gt;
&gt; &gt; &gt;&gt;3) X11 delivers a _better_ display than WinXP on the same machine.
&gt; &gt; &gt;&gt;
&gt; &gt; &gt;&gt;4) SuSe and 'linmodem' correctly identified the low-rent, AC'97
&gt; &gt; &gt;&gt;codec-based ~modem, configured it without complaint, and seem to
&gt; &gt; &gt;&gt;manage it 
&gt; &gt; perfectly!! I
&gt; &gt; &gt;&gt;expected to fight with this, and only gave myself 50-50 odds of
&gt; &gt; &gt;&gt;_ever_ having it work from Linux!
&gt; &gt; &gt;&gt;   YIPPEE!
&gt; &gt; &gt;&gt;
&gt; &gt; &gt;&gt;5) Dual WinXP/Linux boot setup through GRUB dropped in and works
&gt; &gt; &gt;&gt;fine.
&gt; &gt; &gt;&gt;
&gt; &gt; &gt;&gt;6) When the partitioning and installation were done I re-tried
&gt; &gt; &gt;&gt;SystemRescueCD and it worked fine. (What's life without the
&gt; &gt; &gt;&gt;occasional mystery, if it comes out OK at the end?)
&gt; &gt; &gt;&gt;
&gt; &gt; &gt;&gt;It's my first SuSe installation; I doubt it will be my last. So
&gt; &gt; &gt;&gt;far, I'm _definitely_ a happy camper!

&gt; &gt;I have developed a way to make a ball point pen readily available
&gt; &gt;even when I don't have a shirt with a pocket. By using a
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt;        trade secret removed pending patent grant
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt;one can easily retrieve the pen with one hand.
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt;I also have a business method that bills clients for consulting time
&gt; &gt;in a package pricing that
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt;     trade secret removed pending patent grant
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt;thereby saving client resources while boosting overall sales gains.
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt;When will it end ?!?!?!?!?!

&gt; &gt;I received this e-mail (see attachment) this past Tues. There is a
&gt; &gt;link to web site that appears to be Arabic. Anyone know what this
&gt; &gt;is, does not appear to be avirus or trojan at least for Linux.....
