Hi, What about a boot cd for performing network installs? I guess this will be coming with the rest of the SuSE 9.2 ftp image? Is there any chance of getting this boot.iso beforehand? thanks, grant -----Original Message----- From: Andreas Jaeger [mailto:aj@suse.de] Sent: 26 November 2004 16:53 To: Chiu, PCM (Peter) Cc: 'suse-amd64(a)suse.com' Subject: Re: [suse-amd64] Suse 9.2 CD1 64-bit installation "Chiu, PCM (Peter)" <P.C.M.Chiu(a)rl.ac.uk> writes: > I have just experienced that 9.2 installation with CD1 on > an Opteron box will only bring up the 32-bit mode.

I have suse 9.2 32-bit installed as a VMwrae guest on a suse 9.2 64-bit host. It may be of interest that installing vmware tools fails unless you make the following changes vmware tools was untared into /tmp edit /tmp/vmware-tools-distrib/bin/vmware-config-tools.pl where the error return from XFree 86 is 0.0.0 change the line to /XFree86 Version (\d+\.\d+\.?\d*)/ ? $1: '4.4.0'; There is also an update to /etc/xorg.conf In the following section change the Driver to kbd Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard" Driver "kbd" Don Leslie

28 Nov '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.

MPlayer
by Giovanni Bordello 28 Nov '04

28 Nov '04

Hi list & SUSE! Why there is no MPlayer in the 64bit installation? I finally installed the one from suse/i586 directory, but there was a lot of dependency problems. I'm pretty fine with the 32bit one, but had to deinstall some 64bit packages and instead install their 32bit equivallents (e.g. libdv.rpm). If there was suse/x86-64/libdv-32bit.rpm things would be easier. (BTW libdv wasn't the only conflicting package). Just a suggestion for next versions :) Giovanni

libmp3lame.so.0
by Pierre Patino 28 Nov '04

Hello Can anyone tell me if this exists somewhere without having to build it? (SuSE 9.1 AMD64) I downloaded and built MPlayer. It segfaults though; thus I'm trying several MPlayer RPMs. The latest one I've tried says I need this one last package. TIA & Cheers

Suse 9.2 lock up
by Dwayne Nelson 27 Nov '04

27 Nov '04

I have a relatively fresh install of Suse 9.2 on an Asus A8V motherboard, Athlon 64 3200+, 1GB RAM and the Marvell Yukon Gigabit controller (sk98lin). I am running 2.6.8-24-3 default (x86_64). I can browse the web and use email just fine. However if I contect to the apache2 server on the Suse box from a Windows box on the network, the Suse box locks up hard. I am able to browse on the Suse box and connect to apache2 (localhost) and see the default apache web page without any problems. I read through the archives and saw a post on Nov 19 regarding the Asus K8V (different mobo, but same network I believe). Those posts imply some problem with the 98sklin network driver which I am running. I would appreciate any help. I am not familiar with Linux so I don't know where to look for this sk98lin source or archives that might describe the problem I am experiencing. I contacted Suse technical, but they really don't want to help.

General 64-bit compilation madness
by Tom Emerson 27 Nov '04

27 Nov '04

Well, I'm done banging my head against the wall, so now I'll ask: what needs to be done "in general" to make a source package that wasn't necessarily set for "64-bit" to actually compile on my new machine? The package in particular (though it could be any one of thousands) is "Gambas", and the road block I'm hitting is make[6]: Entering directory `/home/tom/src/gambas-0.99.RC3/src/lib/qt/kde/html' /bin/sh ../../../../../libtool --mode=link g++ -g -O2 -pipe -Wall -fno-exceptions -g -Os -fno-omit-frame-pointer -o lib.gb.qt.kde.html.la -rpath /opt/gambas/lib/gambas -no-undefined main.lo moc_main.lo moc_CWebBrowser.lo CWebBrowser.lo -L/usr/lib64/ -lgcc_s -lstdc++ -lpthread -lqt-mt -L/opt/kde3/lib/ -lkdecore -lkdeui -lDCOP -lkio -lkhtml -lkjs grep: /usr/lib/libart_lgpl_2.la: No such file or directory sed: can't read /usr/lib/libart_lgpl_2.la: No such file or directory Searching -L/usr/lib/qt3/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib /usr/lib/libstdc++.la /opt/kde3/lib/libDCOP.la -L/opt/kde3/lib -L/usr/lib -L/usr/lib/ -L/usr/X11R6/lib/ -lresolv -lutil /usr/lib/libart_lgpl_2.la /opt/kde3/lib/libkdefx.la /usr/lib/qt3/lib/libqt-mt.la -lfreetype -lfontconfig -lXi -lXrandr -lXcursor -lXinerama -lXft /usr/lib/libfontconfig.la /usr/lib/libexpat.la /usr/lib/libfreetype.la -ldl -lpng -lz -lXext -lX11 -lSM -lICE -lpthread -lXrender /usr/lib/libidn.la /usr/lib/libstdc++.la libtool: link: `/usr/lib/libart_lgpl_2.la' is not a valid libtool archive -3 make[6]: *** [lib.gb.qt.kde.html.la] Error 1 [notes: the output of "searching: <library names>" and the "-3" on "not a valid libtool archive" are additional displays I've added to "libtool" to figure out how/why/WHERE this error was originating; furthermore it appears "libtool"] Now, the particular file it is complaining about is "/usr/lib/libart_lgpl_2.la", and within the /usr/lib directory I do indeed have "...lgpl_2.so.2", but not the ".la" file; In /usr/lib64, however, I do have the .la file. Now, I realize that there is a bit of disparity between 32 and 64 bit libraries, but I specifically went and got out my install DVD and explicitly added anything that "provides libart_lgpl" [seems these are gnome libraries] INCLUDING the "32 bit" versions -- still no luck in getting everything to "play nice". Of course, since I'm compiling this whole thing in the first place, I'd imagine it *SHOULD* be looking in /usr/lib64 to begin with -- what is really causing major hair loss is the fact that I cannot figure out what is causing the /usr/lib version to appear in the dependency list in the first place.
