OpenSUSE Network :: Cloning Discs And Networking?
May 26, 2011
I haven't used linux in a long time, and have to install OpenSUSE 11.3 on ten of our servers. What I plan to do is install OpenSUSE and all our required software on one of the servers, and then clone that drive to all the other server drives (the servers are hot swappable). My question is:
What do I need to worry about conflict wise? So far the only conflicts I can see that I will need to address are machine name (hostname) and set unique static IP addresses? How can I change the machine name (ie. server01, server02 ...) and IP address? Is there any other stuff I need to change as well?
We have a 2U file server running windows. All of the servers (1 x Win and 10 x linux) will be connected to a 24 port gigabit switch.
Is there also any special stuff I need to do to allow access to the Windows server (file etc)?
I will also require remote access to the servers, but assume that this will be easy to setup?
As for sleep mode, I assume that's fairly easy to configure through the interface?

The company I work for use Ubuntu on the PC's that control the system they manufacture. To simplify and speed up the OS install we use a standard PC (all the same hardware) and install a disk image on each system. The disk image was produced from one of the systems and the network settings were set to use a Static IP
However every time we clone a system the network settings change from the static IP settings to Roaming Mode.
why this happens or if it is possible to have the static IP settings remain after the clone?

I have recently installed Ubuntu 11.04 on a Toshiba Satellite laptop that used to have Vista installed on it. I've been trying out various Linux live discs (eventually choosing Ubuntu) for over a year now, and whenever I've been on a live disc, the laptop has been able to connect wirelessly to the internet and browse the web. I have a NETGEAR router and I have always been given the option in the upper right to connect to NETGEAR. Tonight, when I installed Ubuntu, I chose to wipe the hard drive completely (I backed up stuff already), and it asked me if I had an internet connection. I tried to connect to NETGEAR but it wouldn't work. This made me a little suspicious, but I chugged along with the installation anyway. Now that it's fully installed, when I go up to see the list of wireless connections, it doesn't give me any options; everything is greyed out. What do I do now? I just wiped an entire hard drive and can't use the internet.

seen this or have suggestions on how to fix this. I can read the original disks but I cannot read the backup. The backup disc was burned on Window$ using Nero.I am trying to read the disc using both VLC and Totem but you can see in /var/log/messages there is an issue with reading the disc. This disc is readable in the Window$ box and on all DVD stand alone players.

just wanting to know if anyone has implemented Fog (fogproject.org) on openSUSE. We use it at work throughout our enterprise for reimaging machines and it works very well.

I have multiple OpenSuSE 11.2 systems. With some files being on one system I would like to have another computer to have the files as well. Is there a way to have the files copied to the other system automatically? FTP is one way but it is too cumbersome. I am thinking of something like disk or directory mirroring. Does OpenSuSE have something like that?
If it was real time mirroring that would be better. I.e if a write to one file on one system is done, then this would be done on the other system with the same directory/file.

I am having trouble getting my Dell M6400 laptop display to be cloned with the Hyundai LCD display I have connected to my docking station.
I have an Nvidia Quadro FX 2700M graphics card and have installed the proprietary driver according to SDB:NVIDIA drivers - openSUSE. I have tried using sax2 (found out today it is depreciated so will stop that) and running nvidia-xconfig from both init 3 and init 5 followed by nvidia-settings to setup cloning mode.
When I run nvidia-settings, it doesn't detect the laptop display it seems. It says the max resolution is 640x480 even though the max is 1920x1200 and this does get used if I boot the laptop without a monitor attached.
Also, when I try and select cloning nvidia-settings crashes with a segmentation fault.
openSUSE 11.2.
Linux 2.6.31.12-0.2-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT 2010-03-16 21:25:39 +0100 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Here's what i'm trying to do: i have a 300GB IDE hard drive that has a OpenSuse build. I am trying to replicate this HD so that i can have another box similar to the original one...my second drive is 500GB SATA.
So far, I just ran a 'dd' command to copy the 300GB to 500GB. Now, after having read on internet, i realized i need to change fstab & /boot/grub/menu.lst. specifically, we need to change for ex:/dev/disk/by-id/ata-Maxtor_7L300S0_L60LCJ0G-part1 to /dev/disk/by-id/sda1 i did use a Ubuntu LiveCD to access the fstab and changed the line as mentioned above. Now, how do i change the menu.lst?? right now, when i try booting up from this HD, i have issues. specifically, i get this error message: could not find /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00

I have several old poweredge 2450 servers I bought recently, used. I have made several Ubuntu 8.04 or 8.04.4 server cds. They all hang on the packages.gz file trying to install. I used the check disc function on the 2450s and it can't read the file, it thinks it is corrupt, though it works fine on a more modern computer.have tried several similar computers. I have burned to CD-R and CD-RW. I have burned at 8x (slowest on my drive).I have checked the MD5. I just don't understand why these computers won't read this disc properly. Or several other discs, like SMS server or tiny core. Won't read them either. Oh, but it reads Ubuntu 10.10 server just fine, installs ok, well slowly, but it works.

I was just wondering why Ubuntu is always checking my discs for errors. This happens every few times i turn the computer off and back on. Maybe every 2 or 3 times. Is this just ubuntu checking the discs or something to worry about?

I am trying to install various software on my new laptop with 11.04, the problem is some software has 2 or more disks.
When I had 10.10, after I installed disk 1 I would right click and select unmount disk and then insert the second disk and select mount disk and it would install. Now I see on 11.04 there's no option and it doesn't matter how I install software, wine or not, it won't read the second disk.

I installed mysql on my fedora system via a tar download and install instructions. Its working fine.
I wanted to install mysql workbench which is rpm based and it reported that there were some dependencies one of which was mysql. I guess the rpm utility could not see the mysql prorgram since mysql as not installed via rpm mode.
I have 5 discs of the fedora 12 installation. Can someone let me know if the mysql rpm exists on one of these discs and how do I install ONLY the Mysql package on the fedora 12 system that I already have via rpm mode.

Installed Ubuntu 10.10 this morning from CD, downloaded all the latest updates. But when I put a CD or DVD in the drive, I can't access any of the data. Disk utility recognises that the drive is there, but it says "No medium detected".
Disk utility recognises it at /dev/sr0 so I added a line to fstab
/dev/sr0 /mnt/dvd udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec 0 0
but made no difference

The drive isn't reading discs. Dmesg says PIO255(auto-tune) requested, PIO4 selected, UDMA33MHz.
An inexpensive drive with many failures noted on Google.
What command would I enter in grub following "ro quiet" to change the mode?

I am fairly new to ubuntu and linux in general but have bee experimenting for a little while. As part of that experimentation I ended up with a set of fedora 11 install cd's except for disc 4 which had a faulty image.The fedora cd's have some programs that may be handy in setting up a server. This prompts my thoughts to turn to getting the programs off the fedora cd's and installing them on ubuntu.Both are a gnome desktop environment, and there are a whole heap of files with names that look to me like files for part of a serious installation.
is it possible to use the ubuntu installer program to look at these and then install only some which I can't do if I just look at the filenames.

unable to mount cdrom0 mount: special device /dev/scd0 does not exist
I know the drive is hooked up via SATA.
It has worked before, and I have no idea why it isn;t working now. And I have made no BIOS changes since it worked once. The only change is I installed the newest kernal, that I can think of.
I ran accross someone asking someone with a similar problem to run:
ls /dev | grep cd
so I did and I get: andrew@andrew-desktop:~$ ls /dev | grep cd pktcdvd

I had used Discs cataloguing software on the Mac and Windows too, so I'm not new to the concept. However I'm a total rookie when it comes to Linux and Gnome Catalog
Once you have created a new catalog, and a disk inside it (I guess), how do you get Gnome Catalog to perform the actual scanning of the discs? I just don't see any button or menu command for it anywhere

I know, as of 2008, no support, but I'm wanting LTS so I'm trying to get Ubuntu 10. I'm trying to use 7.04,s CD/DVD creator to burn the Iso to a CD. I've tried desktop, and alternate, both by bittorrent, and every time I attempt to burn to a disc, it takes 10 minutes with useless spinning, saying "Preparing to write disc" and then it stops, locking the CD drive and having me to restart the system to get it running again. I've run on 2.0x, 1.0x, and 8.0x, all failing. I could really use help. I'm running a Dell Dimension 4500S, Pentium 4, 512MB ram, with a Cyberdrive CW058D CD-R/RW, SCSI, and IS a burner.

I'm still running OpenSuse 10.2. The PC has three HDD's, all mounted, but at differing positions, and all formatted Ext3.I can see and examine all 3 discs OK. Some partitions seem to contain common folders.I have run into problems of "insufficient memory" reported, but the second and third discs are very little used, having very many GB free. The memory limit seems to be on the main Desktop, which is where various downloads end up.My questions are:-1. How/where should I mount the additional HDDs so that the PC can seamlessly use this spare disc space as memory?2. What should I do to tidy up the apparent duplicate folders presently seen on the additional HDDs ?3. How can I confidently identify which HDD is in fact the main OS disk ?I am sufficiently PC-literate to understand partitioning, but a bit unskilled still at finding my way through Suse Linux.

Setup of my server:
5 x 2TB samsung and WD discs.
1 x 1TB for operating system.
Mainboard DG45ID
I installed Debian Squeeze on the 1TB disc, everything goes fine. As soon as I attach the 2TB discs the computer boots and just says GRUB with a cursor. If I detach the 2TB discs everything is fine again?

I have two computers with SATA drives and burners installed, and when I try to burn a DVD or CD on either one it comes out corrupt. I have NO such problems on my older IDE drives. Is there a setting I'm missing? I'm getting sick and tired of making coasters.

I have two OpenSuse machines, both running Samba, both with dualboots. Samba works fine as long as it's Win to Linux connection but when both are booted into OpenSuse it becomes a royal pain. It asks for a manually typing in password every time I access shares (Windows remembers it somewhere). Then I can't just open files on those shares, can't watch videos. KDE starts copying them into temp folder first, and copying files from one OpenSuse to another is extremely slow, at about 0.3MB per second.
Is there some other protocol for networking two Linux machines, or should I tweak my Samba/KDE/Dolphin settings? I'd like them to work with both Windows and Linux. I followed Swerdna's primer when setting samba and this is my config file:
# smb.conf is the main Samba configuration file. You find a full commented
# version at /usr/share/doc/packages/samba/examples/smb.conf.SUSE if the
# samba-doc package is installed.
# Date: 2009-10-27

workgroup = HOME
netbios name = OpenSuse

you can do secondary interfaces (virtual interfaces?) for your virtual machines (domU's) and not loose your eth0 to the bridge. Is there documentaion on Xen in OpenSUSE without bridging?
