Multiple queries on OpenSuSE 10.2

phreak0ut · 08-03-2007, 10:30 PM

1)I'm able to copy contents off a floppy to my disk, but not the other way as I don't get any option, either as normal user or root. How do I go about copying files? Also, though the files have been deleted, i.e., even from the trash of the floppy, the contents remains on the floppy when checked on Windows. What is the correct way of deleting files completely?

2)GNOME sometimes hangs the applications and the only thing which I can do is do a hard-boot of my system. I want to avoid this. Even the Force Quit button also is not activated sometimes. Is there any shortcuts which can shutdown the system?? (Does Ctrl+Alt+Del work?

)

3)I want to run MySQL on my system and I've heard about LAMP. All servers have been installed during the initial setup, so I don't need to depend on any packages/dependencies.........I hope

How do I start Apache server and/or related servers on my box? I'm trying this for the first time, so a step-by-step guide would be helpful

Checked the permissions?

Go to tty2, press ctrl + alt + F2. Login from there and kill offending apps and see what happens? Yeah ctrl + alt + del also works. If nothing works, PC is all jammed up do this
Alt + syrq + s then alt+ sysrq + u then alt + sysrq + b
The order is important. First one sync everything to fs, second unmounts the fs and last one is for reboot. Use this as a last case scenario.

just download apache2, mysql and php from your package manager almost everything will be ready. There are other solutions too, like lampp.
__________
After install mysql, php and apache you should find configuration options in YAST. I am not familiar with YAST so can't help there.

apache2, mysql and php are already installed, like I've already mentioned before. I think lampp is the one which I need to start. How do I start these servers on my 10.2 box?

desertwind · 09-03-2007, 06:04 PM

to start apache2

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start

or

sudo /etc/init.d/httpd start

But there must be some frontend for starting services. I'm not well versed with suse, so can't help you in that front.

NucleusKore · 09-03-2007, 07:46 PM

If Gnome is troubling you so much try kde. It works much better on OpenSuSE. If your apps still hang its prolly some config fault in the apps themselves

Is it only for SuSe? coz i tried it on fedora and it doesn't work...

Another one u can try as ctrl+alt+del in windows is:
ctrl+alt+backspace .....this will kill the X session and goes back to the login screen

For apache, as root:
/etc/init.d/httpd start
then check if u get the apache test page when u enter http://localhost in your browser
For php, after you do the above, enter http://localhost/info.php .... if you see a 404 error, you may have to make some changes in apache conf file.

GNOME is hanging?which app is hanging?Do You have a swap partition.if all efforts fails u can try "killall appname" in CLI.

Works on any distro, maybe on other *nix systems too. In fact first time I came across this was in a LUG meet, on FC machine.

Alt+Sysrq+e =Kills all processes pending in an order some delay happens!
Alr+Sysrq+i=restart
definition file though comes with kernel sources dir

I'm getting the following error

Quote:

linux-1lvb:/home/sunil # cd /etc/init.d/httpd start
bash: cd: /etc/init.d/httpd: No such file or directory
linux-1lvb:/home/sunil # cd /etc/init.d/httpd

linux-1lvb:/etc # cd httpd

linux-1lvb:/etc # cd /httpd
bash: cd: /httpd: No such file or directory

OK, what about the floppy permissions?

kalpik · 11-03-2007, 12:31 AM

It should be /etc/init.d/apache2 start

mehulved · 11-03-2007, 06:29 AM

Some distros like FC, name it httpd and others use the name apache. So, check which one your distro uses.
Give us the output of fstab for your floppy.

phreak0ut · 11-03-2007, 10:37 AM

Here is the output of fstab for my floppy

Quote:

/dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto noauto,user,sync 0 0

mehulved · 11-03-2007, 11:02 AM

Permissions are fine. Have you made sure floppy isn't write protected?

phreak0ut · 11-03-2007, 11:14 AM

I've not made any changes. All the permissions are default since install.

mehulved · 11-03-2007, 11:18 AM

I am talking about floppy as in hardware not the floppy drive's permission in linux.
The tab on floppy which can make it write-protected. Are you sure it's set to read write.

phreak0ut · 11-03-2007, 11:22 AM

Yes!! I tried only after checking that the notch is in the write mode.

The proper command is

Yes desertwind. Its working now

But, I'm not able to rep you at all!

Open a terminal and type limewire in there. And see what error it gives.

Here's the output:

Quote:

limewire
Starting LimeWire...
Java exec found in PATH. Verifying...
OOPS, you don't seem to have a valid JRE. LimeWire works best with Sun JRE available at http://www.java.com
OOPS, unable to locate java exec in /usr/lib/ hierarchy

I've installed JRE, but where have I messed it up? Should there be a /usr/java ? I didn't find it

mehulved · 12-03-2007, 07:44 PM

have you install sun java? If yes, then which version? If the version is greater than 1.4.x then where have you installed it?

phreak0ut · 12-03-2007, 07:58 PM

Yes, I've installed it according the website says here and the version is 1.5. I've installed in /usr/local and elsewhere as well, but I don't remember the directory name

but I'm still getting that error

mehulved · 12-03-2007, 08:07 PM

Remove that jre and install from suse's repositories.

phreak0ut · 12-03-2007, 08:17 PM

How to remove that?

eddie · 13-03-2007, 01:47 AM

By deleting /usr/java/jre1.5.0 directory.

phreak0ut · 13-03-2007, 05:32 PM

I've installed it in /usr/local according to the link, but still, why doesn't it work?

phreak0ut · 15-03-2007, 10:28 PM

can anyone please answer my query? I'm kinda crippled without limewire

mehulved · 15-03-2007, 10:34 PM

Simply install jre from the package manager and then install limewire again. Limewire, too from package manager would be a good idea.
