subdomain-profiles-1.2 failed SuSE 10 Eval OSS
 

Hi,
I have just installed SuSE 10 and for some reason everything is fine install wise except for the following two files being missing from CD4.

subdomain-profiles-1.2-imnx suse.noarch (301.52kb)
subdomain-util-1.2-imnx suse.noarch (273.43kb)

I have reinstalled a couple of times now reburning CD4 from different mirror sites but the problem is always identical.

Incidently (in case someone suggests it) I cannot use Yast to update directly from the internet as I cannot access the internet directly through linux as I have a usb bt voyager modem.

Thanks

P.S. All advice to be aimed at a very slow two year old please. :D

It may be that these package are only available on the DVD version of SUSE 10.0 EVAL, not on the CD's. Are you planning to use the AppArmor functionality? If not, you can safely ignore the missing packages. Otherwise, you may need to get hold of the DVD.

Thanks for answering,
according to the novell/SuSE website the content of the DVD and CD's is identical.

It is a major pain, installing for example all the componants I needed to get mplayer up and running it takes forever as it makes me put cd4 in for every componant to search for these files. Then spends ages looking for them and giving me error messages because it cannot find them.

I am wondering if this is a known problem.
I have googled and searched this and other forums but cannot see any reference to it.

Thanks again


P.S I put the componants I needed to install mplayer on my SuSe desktop can I delete them safely now I have installed them using Yast or will mplayer stop working?

You're right!
I found one package in the update folder:
ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/linux/suse/ftp.sus...use.noarch.rpm
No subdomain-profiles, though.

But I guess this problem could be solved by finding an intact CD4 iso. The question remains where to find it. :(

I really appreciate that.
And have successfully installed it. :D

I still cannot find the profiles file anywhere though. :(

And SuSe is still demanding cd4 for the profiles file though(although I just press skip, no point putting it in to let it tell me it's not there)

Do you know the answer to my other question above re: deleting files from the desktop?

"I put the componants I needed to install mplayer on my SuSe desktop can I delete them safely now I have installed them using Yast or will mplayer stop working?"

I have no idea where I am supposed to put files
Thanks again, I appreciate all your help linux is still quite scary to me.

Yes, no problem!
Unless you want to keep the rpm's for later installation (e.g. on another machine).

Ahh bless your cotton socks. :)

Now if anyone knows of a download for the subdomain-profiles file I am all ears.

Thanks

Try to install it manually:

- mount CD4
- change to /suse/noarch
- rpm -i subdomain-profiles-1.2-13_imnx_suse.noarch.rpm

If the file is indeed corrupted, try extracting it from the ISO (mount -t iso9660 SUSE-10.0-CD-i386-GM-CD4.iso /mountpoint-of-your-choice -o loop).

If it still doesn't work, download the iso from ftp.sunet.se (that's what I did and it worked).

But I would like to stress another question again: Do you need this rpm anyway? It seems you only need it for the AppArmor application. If you don't, go to YaST and de-select it and you shouldn't be bothered anymore.

Hi again,
I put in cd 4 and it mounted automatically (sort of)
I found the directory and the file but the file in question is clearly corrupted it won't open but I checked other files and they are ok .

So I went to the iso image of cd4
and tried to mount it in a console window pasting in your mount line thingy.
But it keeps giving me a 'lecture' which is probably very helpful to most people but I haven't a clue where I should mount it.
So I am obviously doing it wrong
I tried to mount it to/home/my user name/Desktop but it didn't work.
I also had a look at the man 8 file it told me to look at but it was just to complicated.
I had a look in 'linux for dummies' but it doesn't tell you how or where to mount something.
I am lost:confused:

You can only mount to an empty folder. Best way is to create one yourself.

EDIT:Link removed

I managed to create 'myfolder' as to the rest it keeps giving me a lecture. I must still be doing it wrong.
That was really kind to put up the link
but when I click on it it goes to open in another window and then firefox just shuts down completely.
I tried opening it with IExplorer but it just goes to a blank page

Try right-click and "Save Link As..." in Firefox.

Maybe you could post some of that lecture...maybe I can help.

Right brilliant that worked
so I am going to go back into linux now and I can get you some of that lecture if you want :)
You must be a masochist :D
I just wish there was a book between the linux for dummies one and the books for techy people so I could learn all this linux stuff which is obviously quite basic to most linux people.

Thanks, but now as you have the package at hand, I think we can skip the mount lesson. ;)

Am I wrong if I assume you speak German? If you do, you might want to have a look at "Linux" from Michael Kofler, published by Addison-Wesley. It is based on SUSE Linux and very nicely written.

For me it was all learning by doing. I wrecked most of my systems and learned a lot by fixing them again. :D

I just went back into linux three times to get that lecture from the console (as open office decided to stop letting me cut and paste for some reason:confused: and Suse keeps randomly popping open programs I have minimised at me)
and now you don't want it :D :D
It's fascinating
No thats cool only joking thanks again for all your help today it is really appreciated you have gone above and beyond the call of duty.

Yast wasn't very cooperative but finally let me install once I copied the file from my windows hard drive to the linux desktop.

And in answer to your question
German yes, technical German no way.
I was educated in English but my dad is German.
