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-
rpms provide the GUI for integrating
konqueror-plugin
Novell Client functionality with the file-managers in GNOME
and the KDE desktops respectively.
