Dell OpenManage™ Server Administrator Alerts Not Received in
KDE Konsole
The KDE text console, known as Kconsole, cannot display Dell OpenManage
Server Administrator alerts if the alert action is configured to broadcast the
event to all SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 active consoles. When using
KDE, alternatives such as Xconsole displays the broadcast alert correctly.
Incorrect IP Address Displayed in SNMP Applications
There is a bug in net-snmp 5.1.3.1-0.6 RPM and earlier where snmp daemon
provides an incorrect SNMP response to a request for a network interface
address. For example, if a network has an Internet Protocol (IP) address of
192.168.1.1, the snmp daemon provides an IP address of 192.168.1.1.0.0.0.0.
This may have adverse effects when trying to manage the system including
operations with the Dell OpenManage IT Assistant. To avoid this issue,
update the net-snmp RPM to version 5.1.3.1-0.13 or later using YOU.
Issue With sax2 When Probing for Monitors
On some Dell systems, when configuring your monitor with the sax2 utility,
the utility may be unable to successfully probe the monitor attached to the
system. To resolve this issue, update the hwinfo package to version 8.100-0.2
or later via YOU.
Pressing the Power Button may not Shut Down the System
In some cases, pressing the power button while using KDE may simply log the
user out of the X Window System, rather than causing the system to shut
down. If this occurs, press the power button again, or type the following at a
command prompt to shut down the system:
init 0
OR
shutdown -h now
