Hi Mike the answer is : recompile with -fPIC put this option (-fPIC) in every Makefile of this project as a CFLAG . In german you find the docu http://www.pseudonym.org/schauen.html, than look for mjpeg on this page.

Playing DVDs on AMD64 system
by larry_prikockis＠natureserve.org 24 Feb '05

24 Feb '05

Has anyone managed to get any DVD playing software running properly under SuSE 9 for the AMD64? I've got an ASUS K8V Deluxe MB and an NVIDIA GF5200FX video card, for what that's worth. I've been trying, with little success, to compile a working version of the 'Ogle' DVD player, but am running into all sorts of dependency issues with RPMs, and missing library issues compiling from source. If someone else has gotten this working, I'd be interested in hearing exactly what RPMs/source files you used and what steps you followed. Thanks in advance ----------------------------------------- Real programmers confuse Christmas and Halloween because DEC 25 = OCT 31

Dual Opteron crashes with Kernel Panic
by Andreas Wahlert 18 Dec '04

18 Dec '04

Hi List, i tried to install SuSE 9.2 on FSC V810 Dual Opteron 250 WS with 4 GB Ram. No way. If i boot the standard smp 64 Bit Kernel i get a kernel panic at the boot. If i boot the standard 64 Bit Kernel without smp, everything seems to work fine. As a result from this tests, i have tried to install SuSE 9.1. This Distri boots with the standard smp 64 Bit kernel bit later it's unstable. I.e. X crashes without any comment or log entrys. There are any experiences regarding this problem??

14 Dec '04

Hi I am having problem to setting up my WiFi Card. My Card is BCM4306 802.11b/g as detected by Yast Hardwar info. Though theNetwork interface only detected by LAN card so I manually Configured the WLAN Card as direct PCI based WLAN Card. But still Kwifimanager can not detect any network. So please help me how to setup WLAN or give me some link. TIA Anirban Biswas -- If Bill Gates is the Devil then Linus Torvalds must be the Messiah.

Yast will not install updated packages
by Adam J. Bernas 06 Dec '04

06 Dec '04

I have this problem on both 9.1 and 9.2 64bit versions. As an example I went to install Firefox 1.0 64bit, Yast prompts me to put in the DVD, fine. It resorts to the 0.8 version on the DVD. Here is the link BTW: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/mozilla/firefox/1.0/9.2-x86_64/ I use Kpackage and it works fine. So what gives? Thank you, Adam

Filesizes and DVD writing
by Örn Hansen 04 Dec '04

04 Dec '04

I'm trying to write a .dar file to a DVD, and my K3B apparently chokes on it. The size of the file is 4.3 GByte. Just a while ago, I wrote a 1.4 GByte file to a DVD, that went well. But every time I try to write something that's over 2 GBytes in size ... K3B chokes, and ruines the DVD. Any known issues? and fixes?

[SLE] Lots of powersaved messages on dual Opterons
by Richard Mixon (qwest) 01 Dec '04

01 Dec '04

I noticed the following messages in /var/log/messages: Nov 30 13:00:57 gofish [powersaved][6473]: resmgr: server response code 200 Nov 30 13:01:30 gofish last message repeated 13 times Nov 30 13:02:32 gofish last message repeated 31 times Nov 30 13:03:35 gofish last message repeated 31 times Nov 30 13:04:37 gofish last message repeated 37 times Nov 30 13:05:40 gofish last message repeated 31 times Nov 30 13:06:42 gofish last message repeated 31 times I would think this is not correct or a setting is wrong. No? I have searched the archives but most references were regarding laptops. I am running SLES 9 on dual Opteron 246 on a Tyan S2882 motherboard. Its a rackmount server that will run 24/7 so I do not believe there is a reason to have powersave on. Any ideas/suggestions are appreciated.

vmware problems with suse 9.2 32 bit guest with 9.2 64 bit host
by don leslie 30 Nov '04

30 Nov '04

I upgraded a 9.1 32bit linux to 9.2 32bit with a 64 bit host. The 9.1 was installed with an earlier vmware and linux. The host is VMware-workstation-4.5.2-8848 built using vmware-any-any-update84 After the update when the guest booted it went into a loop in a fullscreen mode continually rebooting until I shut off power. I am attaching the contents of /var/log/messages I will try a new install of 9.2 not an upgrade and see what happens Don Leslie Nov 28 15:01:14 x1-6-00-0f-b0-03-13-af kernel: /dev/vmnet: open called by PID 26121 (vmware-vmx) Nov 28 15:01:14 x1-6-00-0f-b0-03-13-af kernel: /dev/vmnet: port on hub 8 successfully opened Nov 28 15:01:14 x1-6-00-0f-b0-03-13-af kernel: /dev/vmmon: host clock rate change request 0 -> 19 Nov 28 15:01:20 x1-6-00-0f-b0-03-13-af kernel: /dev/vmmon: host clock rate change request 19 -> 0 Nov 28 15:01:20 x1-6-00-0f-b0-03-13-af kernel: vmmon: Had to deallocate locked 983 pages from vm driver 0000010003ff1c00 Nov 28 15:01:20 x1-6-00-0f-b0-03-13-af kernel: vmmon: Had to deallocate AWE 1208 pages from vm driver 0000010003ff1c00 Nov 28 15:01:32 x1-6-00-0f-b0-03-13-af kernel: /dev/vmnet: open called by PID 26130 (vmware-vmx) Nov 28 15:01:32 x1-6-00-0f-b0-03-13-af kernel: /dev/vmnet: port on hub 8 successfully opened Nov 28 15:01:32 x1-6-00-0f-b0-03-13-af kernel: /dev/vmmon: host clock rate change request 0 -> 19 Nov 28 15:01:40 x1-6-00-0f-b0-03-13-af kernel: /dev/vmmon: host clock rate change request 19 -> 1001 Nov 28 15:03:44 x1-6-00-0f-b0-03-13-af kernel: Badness in out_of_memory at mm/oom_kill.c:252 Nov 28 15:03:44 x1-6-00-0f-b0-03-13-af kernel: Nov 28 15:03:44 x1-6-00-0f-b0-03-13-af kernel: Call Trace:<ffffffff80155de6>{out_of_memory+54} <ffffffff8015e9b0>{try_to_free_pages+448} Nov 28 15:03:44 x1-6-00-0f-b0-03-13-af kernel: <ffffffff80157d62>{__alloc_pages+626} <ffffffff80157f11>{__get_free_pages+33} Nov 28 15:03:44 x1-6-00-0f-b0-03-13-af kernel: <ffffffffa07f6c5d>{:vmmon:HostIF_AllocPage+13} <ffffffffa07f8bdb>{:vmmon:MemTrack_Add+75} Nov 28 15:03:44 x1-6-00-0f-b0-03-13-af kernel: <ffffffffa07f72b3>{:vmmon:HostIF_LockPage+291} <ffffffffa07fcb29>{:vmmon:Vmx86_LockPage+73} Nov 28 15:03:44 x1-6-00-0f-b0-03-13-af kernel: <ffffffffa07f3bd8>{:vmmon:__LinuxDriver_Ioctl+1432} Nov 28 15:03:44 x1-6-00-0f-b0-03-13-af kernel: <ffffffffa0009ee6>{:reiserfs:reiserfs_get_block+182} Nov 28 15:03:44 x1-6-00-0f-b0-03-13-af kernel: <ffffffff80152f6e>{find_get_page+14} <ffffffff8017177c>{__find_get_block_slow+220} Nov 28 15:03:44 x1-6-00-0f-b0-03-13-af kernel: <ffffffff80171aa9>{__find_get_block+393} <ffffffff80171aa9>{__find_get_block+393} Nov 28 15:03:44 x1-6-00-0f-b0-03-13-af kernel: <ffffffff801723d9>{wake_up_buffer+9} <ffffffff80172488>{ll_rw_block+120} Nov 28 15:03:44 x1-6-00-0f-b0-03-13-af kernel: <ffffffff801723d9>{wake_up_buffer+9} <ffffffff80172488>{ll_rw_block+120} Nov 28 15:03:44 x1-6-00-0f-b0-03-13-af kernel: <ffffffffa001b7a9>{:reiserfs:search_by_key+329} <ffffffff801530e9>{wake_up_page+9} Nov 28 15:03:44 x1-6-00-0f-b0-03-13-af kernel: <ffffffff8019000e>{do_mpage_readpage+926} <ffffffffa0009e30>{:reiserfs:reiserfs_get_block+0} Nov 28 15:03:44 x1-6-00-0f-b0-03-13-af kernel: <ffffffffa00088b1>{:reiserfs:inode2sd+257} <ffffffffa001b5c8>{:reiserfs:pathrelse+40} Nov 28 15:03:44 x1-6-00-0f-b0-03-13-af kernel: <ffffffffa00088b1>{:reiserfs:inode2sd+257} <ffffffffa001b5c8>{:reiserfs:pathrelse+40} Nov 28 15:03:44 x1-6-00-0f-b0-03-13-af kernel: <ffffffff80133820>{autoremove_wake_function+0} <ffffffff80133820>{autoremove_wake_function+0} Nov 28 15:03:44 x1-6-00-0f-b0-03-13-af kernel: <ffffffffa00247ef>{:reiserfs:do_journal_end+3055} <ffffffffa0012f49>{:reiserfs:reiserfs_dirty_inode+105} Nov 28 15:03:44 x1-6-00-0f-b0-03-13-af kernel: <ffffffff80130c8b>{recalc_task_prio+635} <ffffffff8015701c>{__rmqueue+220} Nov 28 15:03:44 x1-6-00-0f-b0-03-13-af kernel: <ffffffffa07f46c5>{:vmmon:LinuxDriver_IoctlV452+341} Nov 28 15:03:44 x1-6-00-0f-b0-03-13-af kernel: <ffffffff8016b0ac>{shmem_swp_entry+220} <ffffffff8015335b>{add_to_page_cache+59} Nov 28 15:03:44 x1-6-00-0f-b0-03-13-af kernel: <ffffffffa07f5276>{:vmmon:LinuxDriver_Ioctl+1462} <ffffffff8015ff50>{do_no_page+960} Nov 28 15:03:44 x1-6-00-0f-b0-03-13-af kernel: <ffffffff80161272>{handle_mm_fault+322} <ffffffff80187f0e>{inode_update_time+206} Nov 28 15:03:44 x1-6-00-0f-b0-03-13-af kernel: <ffffffff80120588>{do_page_fault+504} <ffffffff8013eac0>{group_send_sig_info+32} Nov 28 15:03:44 x1-6-00-0f-b0-03-13-af kernel: <ffffffff8013eb53>{kill_proc_info+51} <ffffffff80130c8b>{recalc_task_prio+635} Nov 28 15:03:44 x1-6-00-0f-b0-03-13-af kernel: <ffffffff8013eecc>{sys_kill+332} <ffffffffa07f5349>{:vmmon:LinuxDriver_Ioctl32_Handler+57}

RE: [suse-amd64] Dont expect any "support" from suse.com ![Scanned]
by Tim O'Neill 29 Nov '04

29 Nov '04

I think I missed most of this ... how did everything turn racist? That's just not on and should stop. The original comment on support I think may be a valid one. If Novell wants to break into the desktop market in a serious way then there should be more information available. I have been trying to get a desktop to allow log in through a Windows domain and have tried many things to no avail. I also was told that the question was a chargeable one. This in itself is fair enough however the big difference between Microsoft and Suse (for example) is that Microsoft have on their site a huge amount of information, white papers, and 'best practice' documents that anyone can look through. The basics are normally covered so if you are simply evaluating a product you can do this without real cost. I have purchased SUSE 9.2 and love it in my home environment (not as much as my OS/X though) but as I run business systems am interested in finding a real alternative to the MS desktop. If the basic testing and something that should be fairly straight forward is made chargeable I start to feel that as time goes on the support costs will become a lot higher than the cost with regard to using MS. It all depends if you want to move out of the 'enthusiastic experimental' market and challenge properly. Were the support on these items free and the test successful the subsequent rollout would more than cover the costs involved in resolving what must be a fundamental question raised. Blah, blah, blah. BTW we do have snaps in the UK ... diluted maybe, softer for sure, but still snaps!

There is no excuse for doing things like this. By comparing someone to Hitler you are implicitely saying that he/she behaves like a Neo-Nazi. You seem to have absolutely no clue what this means to the person... By chance: Did you ever visit a KZ to see first-hand what the Hitler regime did to people? If not, then I would strongly encourage you to do this and get your Hitler-picture right again. If you afterwards still feel the need of comparing living persons to Hitler, noone can help you. @Örn: You ought to know that there have to be some guidelines in conversation and limits in what is allowed and what is not: Comparing someone to Hitler - even if based on ignorance - is definitely one step too far! I see no reason why I should tolerate this behaviour and why I am not allowed to speak up. You really want me to shut up?! There is no joking on that issue.
