portable >> SuSE 9.2 - Thinkpad

by James Knott » Wed, 09 Feb 2005 23:52:47 GMT

In the SuSE 9.2 Control Center, there's an item called "IBM Thinkpad
Laptop", which includes a setting "Run Thinkpad KMilo plugin". Does anyone
know what this does? There's no info on this, in the help center. Also,
using IBM Thinkpad Laptop, requires /dev/nvram permissions to be set to 664
or 666, instead of the default 600. However, even though I can set this
manually, it does not stay through a reboot. I have tried adding the
command to boot.local, but it doesn't appear to work there either. Is
there any way, to make the permissions stick?

tnx jk

On Wed, 09 Feb 2005 10:52:47 -0500, James Knott staggered into the Black
Sun and said:

The kmilo ebuild for Gentoo says:

kmilo - a kded module that can be extended to support various types of
hardware input devices that exist, such as those on keyboards.

...so I'd guess that the KMilo plugin you talked about is for supporting
the special buttons and/or Synaptics touchpad on Thinkpads. This is
overkill for me since I don't have a touchpad on my A22p and the 4
special buttons are supported just fine with tpb, but you may find it
useful.


/etc/init.d/boot.local is always run at boot time. So, something else
(X startup scripts? /etc/X11/xdm/something ?) is setting it back to
0600. This is definitely a SuSE-specific thing; I don't see this on my
Gentoo system.

Hi, James,





SuSE runs udev.
You have to change the permissions for nvram
in /etc/udev/udev.permissions.

good luck

Klaus

1. Kismet on Thinkpad R31 & SuSE 9.2 

I'm trying, without much luck, to get Kismet running on my ThinkPad. 
In /etc/kismet.conf, I have created a source line of
"source=hostap,wlan0,prsimsource" and also "enablesources=prismsource". 
However, when I run kismet as root, I get the following:

Server options:  none
Client options:  none
Starting server...
Waiting for server to start before startuing UI...
Suid priv-dropping disabled.  This may not be secure.
Enabling channel hopping.
Enabling channel splitting.
Source 0 (prismsource): Enabling monitor mode for hostap source interface
wlan0channel 6...
FATAL: channel get ioctl failed 22:Invalid argument


When I try as a user, I get:

Server options:  none
Client options:  none
Starting server...
Waiting for server to start before startuing UI...
Suid priv-dropping disabled.  This may not be secure.
FATAL:  Unable to set up pidfile /var/run//kismet_server.pid, unlink()
failed: Permission denied


Either way, I can't do anything.

Any ideas?

2. Suse 9.2 install freezes on Thinkpad R32 - Linux Setup

3. Suse 9.2 on IBM thinkpad 

Hi !
I am curently trying to install a Suse 9.2 on a Thinkpad A21m. It went
quite ok besides two things. The graphics chip for the X and some other
very mysterious problem.
When running Suse, even in text mode, it seems as my harddisk gets
periodically "stuck" for a short moment...so evry 20 secs the system
stocks for half a second. It's a new 60gig 7200rmp harddisk...

Anybody got an idea what that could be?
