tcp_connect problem with SuSE 10
by Constantine 'Gus' Fantanas 16 Feb '06

16 Feb '06

Hello all. When the instant messenger gaimt wants to play a sound, I get the following errors: tcp_connect: can't connect to server (tcp:presario.localnet:1036) unix_connect: can't connect to server (unix:/tmp/ksocketu-gus/presario.localnet-220c-436955fe) Could somebody explain what these error messages mean? The file '/etc/services' indicates that port 1036 is reserved for ntssp (tcp/udp Nebula Secure Segment Transfer Protocol). I admit I am lost. TIA for your time. CF

Same here.

RE: [suse-amd64] PPTP Locks up the computer
by James D. Parra 30 Jan '06

30 Jan '06

Hi all I'm using SuSe 9.3 on a Athlon 64 and trying to access the windows VPN at work using the pptp client. I've downloaded the latest version of the pptp client (the 9.2 rpms at the pptp site), and I'm seeing a similar problem to this: http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-amd64/2005-Jun/0045.html Although in my case, the handshake goes well and the link seems to be established. But then the entire system freezes completely, and my only option is to hit the reset button. I don't think I've ever experienced that with any of my Linux installations. Has anyone heard about a fix for this? Does anyone know if SuSe 10.0 might work better? ~~~~ Hello, I got pptpconfig to work on 9.3 and 10.0. Make sure you have IP forwarding set on the nic your using. Also check your routes for your pptp connection. ~James

NFS woes
by Jonathan Brooks 30 Jan '06

30 Jan '06

Hi, I've got a problem with NFS that appears to only affect AMD64 machines, i.e. those running 64 bit linux. Everytime these boxes boot up and try to mount NFS drives from our SLES9 server, they are presented with "Server reports TCP unavailable, reverting to UDP". So the first question: is this a problem with configuration of the firewall on the server? Does it matter whether NFS uses TCP or UDP? (I'm no networking expert) On booting up, the 64 bit clients present you with the login page, but users (whose home dirs are on the NFS mounted drives) are unable to login, because the NFS mount commands have been backgrounded. I either have to leave the machine for 10 minutes, before trying to login, or log in as root and issue the command (mount -vat nfs). Second question: why is the initial connection to the server so slow. The next problem is that whenever I try to copy a large file from the NFS mounted home dir to a local disk, the performance is abysmal. I.e. it took 5 minutes to copy a 100Mb file. Last question: what could be affecting the performance of NFS to make it practically unusable on 64 bit linux, but absolutely fine on 32 bit machines.

X Error: BadWindow in X.err
by jerry bookter 27 Jan '06

27 Jan '06

Hi Folks-- I've been meaning to ask about this but haven't got around to it til now. My X.err logfile contains dozens of instances of the same error: X Error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 3 Major opcode: 20 Minor opcode: 0 Resource id: 0x2a00002 (or another number) ...As well as a few others but one thing at a time. As far as I can tell the error doesn't cause any harm, but it just bothers me. Is there anything I can do to fix it? Thanks.... :-)

Suse 9.3 on HP xw9300 workstation: kernel panic!
by Dima Lisin 26 Jan '06

26 Jan '06

Hi, all. I have been trying to install SuSe 9.3 on on an HP xw9300 workstation. The system installs fine, but then it will not boot. When I try to boot in the safe mode I get a kernel panic. The system is a dual Opteron 248, 4GB of RAM, and 2 SATA hard disks. I tried disabling acpi, but that didn't help. A very similar problem was discussed on this list back in september 2005. Has that been resolved by any chance? Dima

PPPoE Service Names w/ SMPPPD
by Dimitar Popov 26 Jan '06

26 Jan '06

Hi, I am using SuSE 10.0. My ISP uses PPPoE w/ a specified service name. How can I configure SMPPPD, so that is passes the service name to the underlying PPPoE? Can I use the pppoe kernel module? Or should I install rp-pppoe? Many thanks for any replies. Greetings, Mitko

AW: [suse-amd64] Suse 9.3 on HP xw9300 workstation: kernel panic!
by Jurzitza, Dieter 25 Jan '06

25 Jan '06

Hi Dima, you should boot with the DVD, start installation, stop it after choosing the language. Then "boot the installed system" and have the latest SMP !!! kernel from SuSE updates at hand. Do a rpm -hiv <new kernel> in root, and then you should be able to boot again. I had had the same problem with a 2x2 Opteron xw9300. Hope this helps take care Dieter > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: Dima Lisin [mailto:dima@cs.umass.edu] > Gesendet: Mittwoch, 25.

SuSe 9.3 & Via 8237R chipset.
by Brad Dameron 24 Jan '06

>From what I can tell the default SuSe 9.3 kernel has support for the Via K8M800 and VT8237R chipset. However when I go to install it can't seem to detect my WD 36GB Raptor SATA drive. Anyone know if this is supported in this default kernel? Thank you, Brad Dameron SeaTab Software www.seatab.com
