SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
The Novell Client 2.0 SP3 for Linux requires workstations
running on the following:
SUSE®Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 SP3 (32-bit or 64-
bit)
IMPORTANT: Do not install the 32-bit version of the Novell
Client 2.0 SP3 for Linux onto a 64-bit operating system. If
you do so, you will lose the ability to log into the GUI
credential provider. You will see the error message,
“Authentication Failed,” and will be unable to log in.
Ensure that you have one of the following packages
provided by the base operating system that is already
installed on the system. The package that is installed
depends on your kernel type.
novfs-kmp-default
novfs-kmp-smp
novfs-kmp-bigsmp
NOTE: Novell Client CLI packages alone will be installed by
default in case of OES 2. To install the rest of the GUI
packages, you can follow the procedures listed in the
sections below.
novell-nautilus-plugin
and
novell-
konqueror-plugin
rpms provide the GUI for integrating
Novell Client functionality with the file-managers in GNOME
and the KDE desktops respectively.

Starting or Restarting the Novell Client for Linux
Use any of the following methods to start or restart the
Novell Client for Linux:
Restart the Linux Workstation: This is the best way
to ensure that the Novell Client for Linux is completely
restarted.
Manually Start the Novell Client: Open a terminal
window and log in as root. Run the following
commands:
New Installations:
rcnovell-xregd start
This command loads XTier registry service that is
needed by Novell Client for Linux daemon
modules.
rcnovfsd start
This command loads Novell file system kernel
module and daemon modules of Novell Client for
Linux.
Updates:
rcnovell-xregd restart
This command stops and reloads XTier registry
service that is needed by Novell Client for Linux
daemon modules.
rcnovfsd restart
This command stops and reloads Novell file
system kernel module and daemon modules of
Novell Client for Linux.
Manually launch Novell Client tray application by
running the command
/opt/novell/ncl/bin/
ncl_tray
either on the command line of a terminal
window or in Run Application utility that can be
launched by pressing Alt-F2.
If any of these commands display any errors, restart
the Linux* machine.
USING THE INSTALLATION SCRIPT TO INSTALL THE
NOVELL CLIENT
NOTE: An installation script called
ncl_install
is
provided in the Novell Client for Linux
.iso
file that you
downloaded from Novell Downloads (http://
download.novell.com). This script can be used to install,
update, verify installation, display information, and uninstall
the Novell Client directly from a command prompt using
documented RPM commands. This same script is copied to
the
/opt/novell/ncl/bin
directory during the installation
of the Client for later use in verifying or uninstalling the
Client.
WARNING: You must not use the
ncl_install
script for
install and uninstall operations on OES2 SP2.
Run these commands from the directory in which you have
mounted the Client download file or from
/opt/novell/
ncl/bin
after the initial installation. You must be logged in
as
root
to run these commands.
Table 1 ncl_install Commands

14 Start the Novell Client for Linux.
See “Starting or Restarting the Novell Client for Linux”
on page 2.
If Novell Client 2.0 SP1 is installed on SLED 10 SP1 or
SLED 10 SP2 system and you upgrade your operating
system to SLED 10 SP3, then some undesired files and
directories are not removed. These files and directories
prevent users from logging into the system using the
Greeter screen as the Gnome Session Manager crashes.
You must login as root and run the following commands
either before or after an upgrade:
cd /home
rm -f `find . -name "ncl*.desktop" -print`
rmdir `find . -name "ncl*.desktop" -print`
cd /root
rm -f `find . -name "ncl*.desktop" -print`
rmdir `find . -name "ncl*.desktop" -print`
rm -f /etc/profile.d/novell-ncl-tray.sh
For NCL 2.0 SP1 running on SLED 10 SP3, the ncl_tray
does not autostart even after executing these commands.
However, it can be started manually. We recommend you to
upgrade to NCL 2.0 SP3.
