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.

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. 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

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

root

to run these commands.

Table 1 ncl_install Commands

UPGRADING FROM VERSION 2.0 SP1

upgrading to 2.0 SP3.

To use YaST to upgrade from the Novell Client 2.0 SP1 for

Linux to 2.0 SP3, follow these steps. You can also use the

If you see Dependency Conflict messages informing

you that the Novell Client cannot be installed because

of missing NICI and NMASTM dependencies:

8a Select Install novell-nmasclient although it would

You will see all the packages being installed on the

Package Installation dialog box, followed by the

SuSEconfig dialog box.

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.
