SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

The Novell Client 2.0 SP1 for Linux requires workstations running one of the following:

SUSE®Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 SP2 (32-bit or 64-bit)

openSUSE®10.3 (32-bit or 64-bit)

IMPORTANT: Do not install the 32-bit version of the Novell Client 2.0 SP1 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.

If you want to use the precompiled Novell Client for Linux Virtual File System provided with the

distribution, make sure one of the following packages is installed on your workstation before you

install the Novell Client for Linux. The package that is installed depends on your kernel type.

novfs-kmp-default

novfs-kmp-smp

novfs-kmp-bigsmp

novdocx (en) 11 July 2008

If you want to compile the Novell Client for Linux Virtual File System from sources provided with

the Novell Client for Linux, make sure the following packages are installed on your workstation

before you install the Novell Client for Linux:

gcc

kernel-source

make

For information on using YaST to install packages, see “Installing the Required Packages” in the

Novell Client for Linux Administration Guide.

USING THE YAST CONTROL CENTER TO INSTALL THE NOVELL CLIENT

Using YaST to install the Novell Client for Linux requires the following steps:

1. Installing the Novell Client for Linux Packages

2. Starting or Restarting the Novell Client for Linux

Installing the Novell Client for Linux Packages

1Make sure you have updated the workstation to the latest SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop

10 SP2 patches.

2Launch the YaST Control Center.

GNOME: Click Computer > More Applications > System > YaST.

KDE: Click the menu button > System > YaST.

3If you are not logged in as root, type the root password, then click Continue.

4Click Software in the left column, then click Add-on Product in the right column.

5Select the appropriate Add-on Product source (such as CD, DVD, or Local Directory), then

click Next.

TIP: Select Local Directory if you downloaded the file from Novell Downloads (http://

download.novell.com).

6Follow the on-screen instructions for the installation source you specified in Step 5.

For example, you might be prompted to insert the Novell Client for Linux CD, or to specify

which local directory contains a copy of the downloaded Novell Client for Linux files.

7Select Yes, I Agree to the License Agreement, then click Next.

8Select Patterns from the Filter drop-down list.

9Select Novell Client for Linux in the Additional Software category.

10 The Novell Client for Linux check box should already be selected. If it is not, select it to

automatically select all packages for installation.

novdocx (en) 11 July 2008

11 Click Accept to install all of the Novell Client for Linux packages.

12 Start the Novell Client for Linux.

See “Starting or Restarting the Novell Client for Linux” on page 3.

For more information, see “Using the Novell Client Tray Application” in the Novell Client for Linux

User Guide.

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. From the

/opt directory, enter one of the following commands:

New Installations: /opt/novell/ncl/bin/ncl_control start

This command loads all the Novell Client for Linux daemon modules.

Updates: /opt/novell/ncl/bin/ncl_control restart

This command stops and then reloads all the Novell Client for Linux daemon modules.

If either of these commands displays any errors, restart the Linux* machine.

In addition, /opt/novell/ncl/bin/ncl_control status shows whether the Novell Client

for Linux drivers are loaded properly, and /opt/novell/ncl/bin/ncl_control stop stops

all Novell Client for Linux daemon modules.

USING THE INSTALLATION SCRIPT TO INSTALL THE NOVELL CLIENT

NOTE: If you are installing the Novell Client 2.0 SP1 for openSUSE 10.3 using the installation

script, you must verify that the kdelib3 package and the novfs-kmp-xpackage are installed

before you proceed. In the novfs-kmp-xpackage name, xmatches the installed kernel (for

example novfs-kmp-default, novfs-kmp-smp, or novfs-kmp-bigsmp). If you use the YaST

installation method, the packages are added automatically through YaST dependency resolution.

An installation script called ncl_install is provided in the Novell Client for Linux .tar.gz 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.

novdocx (en) 11 July 2008

Run these commands from the directory where you unarchived 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
