I have configured loopback IP address on my server as (10.10.10.10). My LAN card physical IP address is 10.10.10.20. I dont want my loopback IP address to broadcast the IP & arp. How can i achieve it? Right now i see the problem that both 10.10.10.10 & 10.10.10.20 ip address is broadcasted by same MAC & I have 10.10.10.10 is already with some other host too.
View 2 RepliesWe�re experimenting with deploying SUSE 10 SP3 systems and adding them to a Windows domain and DNS. Oddly, when we register in DNS, it gets registered under two address: the real IP address, and the address 127.0.0.2. Also, an ip addr command shows that the loopback device lo has two addresses: 127.0.0.1 and 127.0.0.2.
The above behavior is just on SP3. On SUSE 10 SP2, the lo device has only the 127.0.0.1 address, and the system is able to register correctly in DNS.
Do you know what the 127.0.0.2 address signifies, or how to get rid of it?
I have an old Suse 8 installation on a vmware-host, where I had to change ip-addresses. Now something isn't working as it shouldn't:

I am not a real expert on linux, where is the address "192.168.1.37" configured on my machine? The Mysql daemon is running on this IP.

Where else the IP 192.168.1.37 is configured?
Version 10.04 LTS. Installed desktop version and network worked but I needed a static IP address and the install configures for a DHCP configured address. I tried changing to static address using the System->Preferences->Network Connections application but was unable to get the system to come up with the network up.
So I manually modified the /etc/network/interfaces and the /etc/resolv.conf files. I restart the system but when I do an ifconfig, I don't see a configured IP address on eth0 (only the loopback address). If I run /sbin/ifup eth0 everything then works fine and ifconfig shows the correct address bound to eth0.
My files are as follows:
after a yum update on my CentOS 5.3 I got this error when shutting down eth0 on reboot...

I am trying to perform VM cloning using KVM in a centos 5.6 machines. I copy the memory contents of a running vm to an external state file and try to use that to start another VM in a different machine. While starting the cloned VM I provide a different mac address but once it resumes it has the old one . I tried changing the mac address in ifcfg-eth0 but I get the error: Device eth0 has a mac address xx:xx instead of configured xx:xx.Ignoring .
Is there some way to change the ip/mac of the cloned vm without the need to restart the VM ( Then the purpose of cloning will be defeated). Thanks a lot for the info.
I added an init script numbered just before bind9 starts, which needs to see the ipv6 link-local address on eth0. Sometimes this address is not configured, yet. In all cases it eventually is configured.
I am unable to find any script that is configuring the ipv6 link-local address (which is in part based on the MAC address). Does anyone know if there is some script or program that is supposed to be doing this, or is it an internal kernel function?
One workaround I am considering is making this init script go into a loop around sleep 1 to keep checking for the ipv6 address. But I'm concerned this might cause some problems. Any suggestions? I don't want to let it move on to start bind9 until the configuration this script does (more ipv6 addresses) is done.
This is on Ubuntu 9.10 server (for which there is not a prefix choice).

I'm trying to run a persistent Debian distro on a USB thumbdrive, with the persistency data written in a mounted live-rw loopback file. However, the drive has to be formatted FAT32, and that poses a 2GB maximum limit on files, so I can't use the full 3GB space that is left on the drive after the Linux install. Can I make two loopback files and format/mount them as a single filesystem? If I can't I guess I'll have to repartition the drive, which I'd rather avoid.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI was wondering if it is possible to create a growing image for a loopback device. Like a file that you create that will grow with the data that is placed on it instead of a file that has to be the size of the entire file system?
View 4 Replies View RelatedBesides Puppy or DSL, is there a full "regular" Linux distro that is friendly to be installed on a USB flash drive that won't wear it out? I want to be able to upgrade it, not just keep minor persistent changes like the methods outlined in pendrivelinux.com. The loopback file would fill out too much if I actually did a apt-get update, so I want something that installs natively on a USB flash drive with EXT3/EXT4, etc.
However, is there a distro that sends the log to a tmp ram drive, for instance? Something made *not* to wear out a USB drive too fast? I want a truly portable Linux on a UFD, not a semi-attempt that uses casper.

View 3 Replies View RelatedLast winter we had the intention of using VMWare branded Novell Suse Enterprise as we were going to be getting the licenses/subscription through the purchase of Vsphere. Since that time we have set up 4 VMs, and have been testing an application that will soon be going into production status. However a new issue has arisen. As we are over budget we will not get the Vsphere license (which included Suse subscription). We also found that the added features of a Vsphere license do not really add anything over the free ESX hypervisor.
On the one hand these servers have all been configured precisely, on the other hand we have no update service from which I understand we would need a Novell subscription. Most of the repositories we have added are external to Novell, meaning they are community ones. So my questions are this:
1.) Can we use Opensuse community repositories for the Online Update?
2.) If not is there a way to easily 'convert' Enterprise Suse to Opensuse?
Obviously what we first want to avoid is having to do a brand new install of Opensuse and spend the time moving data from the old to the new. One of the issues that has caused the delay and over runs is that the application we will be deploying has not lived up to its promises, and has caused considerable amount of time configuring, tweaking, and de-bugging.
Im currently trying to update my Suse 11.1 copy of Linux.
I got some messages that Clamav was not up to date.
I tried to use YUM which I installed on the machine but that did nothing.
It seems that I can only update Clamav by using Klamav.
Whats happening is that the system is telling me that its going to recompile Clamav, starts doing various tasks but doesnt really work.
When I use YUM on my CentOS 5.3 server it simply updates Clamav to the current version and then I use Freshclam to update the virus definitionsdone.
My questions is this; is there anyway to get the latest version of Clamav without going through the that Klamav thing. Klamav seems O.K. for updating the virus definitions but thats all.
Whats wrong with all the Linux software people?
Cant they just get their act together and make their software work. Im also trying to set up a mail server on my Suse 11.1 box but between figuring out how to install Postfix, Dovecot, Cirus-IMAP Im not getting anywhere.
As much as I hate to say this, these things only seem to be rocket science on Linux. I have much less problems installing software on Windoz.
Linux software people need to come up with workable install programs for their software products so more people who arent software experts can make Linux really workable.
Is there a link to download a version of Suse with either kernel 2.6.26 or 2.6.28? For some reasons I have, I need one of these kernel versions. The newest download here, 2.6.37, won't work for me.

View 14 Replies View RelatedI have an ARM system that has been pre-loaded with some variant of Linux. I don't know the distribution; I can only see the kernel number in dmesg.
In /etc/network/interfaces, I set eth0 to
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
After I save and reboot (or run ifdown eth0 followed by ifup eth0), I can see that the networking system is searching for a DHCP server and actually obtains a lease on a valid IP address, but when I run ifconfig, the interface has not been assigned the address that it pulled down from DHCP. It has been assigned a 192.168.. address.
I noticed in dmesg that a variable "ip" is passed to the kernel at boot with the same address that is overriding my DHCP address. How can I disable this overriding behavior? I noticed a dynamic environment variable in u-boot called ip. I set it dhcp and saved it to nv storage, but the problem persisted. I tried to set the u-boot environment variable ipaddr to dhcp, but was informed that this wasn't a valid value for the variable.How can I get the interface to be configured through DHCP?
