This Readme describes issues that have not been resolved for Novell®ClientTM 1.0 for Linux.

The issues are divided into the following areas:

“Installation Issues” on page 9

“Login Issues” on page 10

“General Issues” on page 12

To access the installation and administration documentation for Novell Client for Linux, see the

readme files included in the download.

Installation Issues

Install Only on 32-Bit Hardware

Novell Client for Linux supports 32-bit hardware platforms only. Even though Novell Linux

Desktop might support some 64-bit hardware platforms, Novell Client 1.0 for Linux is designed

for 32-bit hardware only.

Uninstall Previous Version before Installing

When you are installing Novell Client for Linux, you must first uninstall any previous version of

Novell Client for Linux (this includes beta versions). If you do not uninstall previous versions, the

novfs kernel driver might not load correctly.

If you installed version 1.0 without uninstalling previous versions and you experienced problems,

uninstall Novell Client and then install version 1.0.

Package Failed Error During YaST Installation

On NLD workstations not running SP1 or SP2, if a dialog box indicating that the YaST installation

of a package failed appears during installation, select Show Details. If the following three error

messages appear, select Retry.

error: cannot get exclusive lock on /var/lib/rpm/Packages

error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - Operation not

permitted (1)

error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm

10 Novell Client for Linux Readme

Novell Confidential Manual (99a) 21 December 2004

Install Script Contains Fatal Error Messages But Still Installs Correctly

When running the installation script, two fatal error messages appear, but Novell Client for Linux

installs correctly. The errors are:

7706 Segmentation fault

ERROR: Module novfs does not exist in /proc/modules

These messages will be rewritten in the future to avoid any confusion. They should be ignored in

version 1.0.

Integrated Login Not Provided

This version of Novell Client for Linux does not provide an integrated login experience with the

initial workstation login screen. Users who have migrated from Windows* desktops to Linux do

not have the same experience and must log in to the workstation and then log in to the network

using the Novell Client for Linux.

CN User Identifier Variable Displays the Wrong Information

If the CN user identifier variable is used in the login script, it displays the wrong information if the

Other Name field is filled in. This results in drive mappings not being made. Depending on how

the variable login script is used, errors might occur.

Supported MAP Command Login Script Syntax

The following is a sample of valid login script syntax for the MAP command:

map my_projects:=server/vol:path

map f:=server/vol/path

map f:=vol:path

map f:=vol:\path

map display on f:=server\vol:path

map display off f:=server\vol:path

map “my projects”:=server/vol:path

map f:=\\server\vol\path

map *1:=server\vol:\path

TIP: Linux does not support backslashes on the command line. UNC names can be written with forward

slashes. For example, map f:=//server/vol/path

Map Command Differences from Windows Behavior

The MAP command works differently based on whether you run it from a login script or at the

command line. The following is a list of differences in how the MAP command behaves at the

command line in Linux versus how it works at the command line in Windows.
