installation of nVidia TNT2 M64 PCI video card
by Michael Long July 14, 2003

July 14, 2003

Hi, I have just installed the above card along side my existing AGP video card. I rebooting using the AGP card and ran Yast2 (SuSE's configuration tool) in order to configure it. Everything seemed to go well. I then rebooted the system, went into the bios and told it to boot using the PCI video card. The system detected the card. Just as SuSE started to boot the system hung right after displaying *GRUB Loading Stage2*. Any suggestions on how to resolve this would be appreciated. The system specs: SuSE 8.2 (clean install as of last week) ABIT KT7/KT7-RAID motherboard 800 mhz AMD Athlon 512mb RAM ATI Rage 128 AGP video (old) nVidia TNT2 M64 PCI video (new) Thanks, Mike

spamassassin/procmail question
by Bill Mills-Curran July 10, 2003

July 10, 2003

I have successfully set up spamassassin on my Red Hat 8 box but I thought I'd try to install a new version so I could use the Bayesian filters. **************** Old version: After installing the rpm, all I needed was a .forward file: "| /usr/bin/spamassassin || exit 75" and I also needed to add a sym link to spamassassin in the /etc/smrsh directory. It worked fine. **************** New version 2.44 and 2.55 (I got the 2.44 from Red Hat 9, I got the 2.55 from the spamassassin web site): My email just disappears, but there are some words about needing to use procmail to invoke spamassassin. So, I changed my .forward: "|IFS=' ' && exec /usr/bin/procmail -f- || exit 75 #bcurran" And, I added a .procmailrc: :0fw: spamassassin.lock | /usr/bin/spamassassin I added /usr/bin/procmail symlink to /etc/smrsh. I get messages in /var/log/maillog like this: Jul 7 13:24:10 pent584 smrsh: uid 21245: attempt to use "IFS=' ' && exec /usr/bin/procmail -f- || exit 75 #bcurran" (stat failed) Jul 7 13:24:10 pent584 sendmail[22616]: h67HO9OM022615: to="|IFS=' ' && exec /usr/bin/procmail -f- || exit 75 #bcurran", ctladdr=<bcurran(a)pent584.us.dg.com> (21245/111), delay=00:00:01, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=prog, pri=30518, dsn=5.0.0, stat=Service unavailable Jul 7 13:24:10 pent584 sendmail[22616]: h67HO9OM022615: h67HOAOM022616: DSN: Service unavailable Jul 7 13:24:10 pent584 smrsh: uid 21245: attempt to use "IFS=' ' && exec /usr/bin/procmail -f- || exit 75 #bcurran" (stat failed) Jul 7 13:24:10 pent584 sendmail[22616]: h67HOAOM022616: to="|IFS=' ' && exec /usr/bin/procmail -f- || exit 75 #bcurran", ctladdr=<bcurran(a)pent584.us.dg.com> (21245/111), delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=prog, pri=31542, dsn=5.0.0, stat=Service unavailable Jul 7 13:24:10 pent584 sendmail[22616]: h67HOAOM022616: h67HOAON022616: return to sender: Service unavailable Jul 7 13:24:10 pent584 smrsh: uid 21245: attempt to use "IFS=' ' && exec /usr/bin/procmail -f- || exit 75 #bcurran" (stat failed) Jul 7 13:24:10 pent584 sendmail[22616]: h67HOAON022616: to="|IFS=' ' && exec /usr/bin/procmail -f- || exit 75 #bcurran", ctladdr=bcurran (21245/111), delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=prog, pri=32566, dsn=5.0.0, stat=Service unavailable **************** My best guess is that the .forward file isn't right, and I'm haven't been a procmail user, so I'm not at all sure what it needs. I got the .forward contents from the spamassassin docs. Any ideas what I need to do? TIA, Bill

Seting up IPSec
by Skip Gaede July 8, 2003

July 8, 2003

Hi, I'd like to try setting up a FreeS/Wan IPSec tunnel between my network and anyone who has a static IP address for test purposes. My cable connection is assigned by DHCP, but I have a registered name for the address, sgaede.ne.client2.attbi.com. On my private subnet, I have a second PC. I can run Win98, W2K, and a couple flavors of Linux on my gateway, and Linux / Win98 on my private subnet. I've tried setting up a connection between the two boxes, but it fails because the two machines are on the same subnet... Anyone interested? Thanks, Skip

Looking for PHP/Forms help
by John Stoffel July 2, 2003

July 2, 2003

Hi All, I've been working on a database with a web interface for the past few years in my spare time, and as you can guess, I haven't had much time lately, and they people I'm doing this for would like to get it wrapped up if possible. I'm looking for someone to help me understand/write PHP code (possibly using PHPLIB and oohforms) to add/edit/delete records in a MySQL database. This isn't really hard, except that I need to be able to add/edit varying numbers of fields in each record. For a better example, take a look at: http://jfs.ecotarium.org/AAS/john/sql-search.php and search for the name "Anderson". As you can see, records can have varying numbers of Roles, References, Addresses, etc. The searching of the DB is working just fine, as you can see, it really just needs some tweaking on the search form side, but the core is all there. I've been beating my head out with the PHPLIB oohforms stuff to try and make it so I can start out with a basic record: heading, ref, role, authority number, note and address. I need to be able to allow the user to add additional roles, references, and addresses when adding records. So does anyone out there have either: 1. good oohforms examples? 2. good ideas on what other PHP libraries I can use to make my life simpler, or ideally some code I can steal, file off the serial numbers, and re-work to do what I need? For some piss poor examples of what I'm trying to do with forms, take a look at: http://jfs.ecotarium.org/AAS/john/test/form.php /sql-add-test.php to see what I've been trying to make work so far. Thanks, John john(a)stoffel.org

I got the bright idea...finally...to look at the boot partition (hdb5). I ran badblock and it came back with no bad blocks. Next reiserfsck --fix-fixable /dev/hda5 was run with the following results: reiserfs_open: bitmap 0 was marked free reiserfs_open: first bitmap looks corrupted Analyzing journal..Segmentation fault Could this be why my drives are mounting as readonly? How do I correct this problem?

I have 2 disks in my system. Disk 1(hda) has windows and SuSE7.3 installed on it. Disk 2(hdb) has SuSE 8.0. When booting SuSE8.0 it mounts the partition hdb7 ("/") as readonly. This was not the case until the system was rebooted last week. Prior to the reboot I could read and write to the partition. I was out of town when I started having connectivity issues and had the wife reboot the machine. I had ownly been accessing the machine for email and file storage and don't know what has changed. When booting into SuSE 7.3 I can mount hdb7 as rw. I believe the problem has something to do with the boot process but am not sure.

Help! System booting as readonly
by Michael Long June 21, 2003

June 21, 2003

While away on business I lost the ability to ssh into my computer. I had my wife ping it from within the home network and she was unable to. After walking her through some ifconfig diagnostics (she is a technically challanged individual) I next had her reboot the box in the hope that it would "fix" the problem. It did not solve the problem. Now that I am home I see that it is mounting the drives as readonly. The following is a partial listing of the dmesg: kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k scsi_hostadapter, errno = 2 VFS: Mounted root (reiserfs filesystem) readonly Trying to move old root to /initrd ... failed Unmounting old root clm-6006: writing inode 927 on readonly FS clm-6006: writing inode 927 on readonly FS clm-6005: writing inode 927 on readonly FS clm-6006: writing inode 927 on readonly FS clm-6006: writing inode 927 on readonly FS clm-6005: writing inode 927 on readonly FS How do I go about diagnosing and fixing this problem? Thanks, Mike
