Just a niggle because everything else I'm using SUSE 10.0 (eval DVD) works 100% perfectly.

I couldn't get DNS's resolved automatically with my router and DHCP although I could ping anything on the internet network and local IP addresses on the network were all reachable before starting X. (I use KDE desktop but start at run level 3 - so I manually start X)

This was definitly a KDE problem because pinging after starting X wouldn't even reach the router (Mine's set like most people's to 192.168.1.1).

Didn't make any difference whether firewall was set OFF or ON.

OK so I set the DNS's manually (got those from the ISP so no big deal but just a niggle).

Pity really about that as everything else 100%.

Loading XINE, LIBDVDCSS and XINE-UI from the Brazilian site enabled DVD playing perfectly (uninstall KAFFEINE and XINE libraries from the initial install first) including DVD-RAM discs as well as normal commercial DVD's.

Online update is fine as well.

After Online update a niggle I've often had with SUSE is that I couldn't get my nice large LCD monitor to use it's full resolution --works a treat now.

If you've got trouble with the OSS install I'd recommend a switch to the EVAL DVD. There's some misunderstanding here. It DOESN'T run out (i.e it's not a trial or time limited version). It's the same as the Boxed Retail set but without manuals and you have to get your own support from this (great) Forum and elsewhere.

I did try the OSS 10.1 Beta 8 which I liked (new KDE etc) but had to give it up because YAST would not work . I could get round many problems but YAST HAS TO WORK since installing a load of RPM's manually and then having to fiddle around with all the various dependencies just didn't seem worth the candle --although I'm not adverse to doing reasonable beta testing.


I think people will be more than happy with SUSE 10.0 eval version but before attempting to connect to the internet do set the DNS's of your ISP manually.

well I haven't heard of this kind of problem

can u post the o/p of

dig yahoo.com
route -n
ifconfig

regards

Will do this a bit later today.

Before I do it I'll remove the static DNS's I've got set up.

Thanks for your help but having run a YAST ONLINE update it seems fixed now. I notice that the kernel was updated with the SMP one even though I'm running on a Uni-processor.

Removing the DNS from the config and setting to get everything via DHCP and re-booting with the updated kernel seemed to fix the problem.

Anyway working correctly now.

Thanks
