SUSE 9.2 sk98lin severe problems with ASUS K8V SE Mobo
by Jens Richter 19 Nov '04

19 Nov '04

Hi List, this goes diretcly to SUSE !!!! After patching my sk98lin driver with the follwing patch from the 2.6.6-mm series i can actually use my system now. THIS IS A REGRESSION COMPARED TO SUSE 9.1 !!! PLEASE WAKE UP!!! Include this patch in your next kernel patch! Regards JR. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Jeff Lightfoot <jeffml(a)pobox.com> The following patch to net/sk98lin/skvpd.c was put together by Marc Bouget, mbouget at club-internet.fr. This patch works around a corrupt EEPROM (VPD?) in the ASUS K8V Deluxe SE motherboard ethernet chipset and allows the network driver to work correctly. We have written to ASUS and the sk98lin maintainers but have not heard anything back. --- 25-akpm/drivers/net/sk98lin/skvpd.c | 11 +++++++++++ 1 files changed, 11 insertions(+) diff -puN drivers/net/sk98lin/skvpd.c~sk98lin-buggy-vpd-workaround drivers/net/sk98lin/skvpd.c --- 25/drivers/net/sk98lin/skvpd.c~sk98lin-buggy-vpd-workaround 2004-04-26 22:02:06.353452640 -0700 +++ 25-akpm/drivers/net/sk98lin/skvpd.c 2004-04-26 22:02:06.357452032 -0700 @@ -468,6 +468,17 @@ SK_IOC IoC) /* IO Context */ pAC->vpd.vpd_size = vpd_size; + /* Asus K8V Se Deluxe bugfix.

64 with Personal version or professional only?
by Robbie Crash 19 Nov '04

19 Nov '04

Sorry if this is a covered question, I couldn't find anything in any of the FAQ's about this. The SuSE site says that the professional version will take advantage of a 64 bit chip but makes no mention of if the personal edition does as well? Thanks. -- Sworn to avenge. Condemned To Hell

Suse 9.2 Evolution: unable to open addressbook
by Manuel Hohenauer 19 Nov '04

19 Nov '04

Hello, my old evolution data was perfectly imported by evolution 2.0 on my new SuSe 9.2 box. Unfortunately, the addressbook cannot be displayed by evolution. The error message is something like: Cannot access addressbook, please check if path exists and if you have the rights to access it. If have both the rights and the path is also correct, i think. At least i can create a new addressbook, which can be found in the evolution folder then, but same error. According to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=134783 that this seems to be a known problem for evolution-data-server-1.0.1.x86_64 and is fixed in version 1.0.2 . Unfortunately i could not find a x86_64 .rpm for that. On the gnome/ximian server there are only i586 rpms for SuSe. Does anyone know a location where the x86_64 rpm can be downloaded or has another fix for the problem ? Manuel

Xine with dvd playback
by Samuel Goodwin 18 Nov '04

18 Nov '04

joe Morris, they said you have 64b rpms of working xine, send em this way? I've tried xine off the dvd's of suse 9.2 and even when you add libdvdcss, they still don't play dvd's at all in totem or xine. at least in 9.1, I was able to make totem play dvd's. I even tried compiling mplayer and failed several times, even let another from #suse(a)irc.freenode.net try to compile it on my box via ssh and he wasn't able to get it. The rpm's from packman have some unresolved dependancy, even though yast says I have the libraries installed. ===== ----------------------------GOODWINLABS: www.crystalweb.us/goodwinlabs

synaptic and gtk installs hinge on glib.
by Roy F. Cabaniss 18 Nov '04

18 Nov '04

Using suse 9.1 on a asus k8v with a amd-64. I've been trying to compile synaptic, gtk 2.4 and other things. I downloaded glib-2.4.0 and did the traditional ./configure... make.... make install . With no error messages on the install. After the install of Glib I tried to install gtk 2.4 and now get the familar message of.... --checking for glib-2.0 >= 2.4.0 atk >= 1.0.1 pango >= 1.4.0... Requested 'glib-2.0 >= 2.4.0' but version of GLib is 2.2.3 configure: error: Library requirements (glib-2.0 >= 2.4.0 atk >= 1.0.1 pango >= 1.4.0) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them. Now I have installed glib 2.4 and the pkgconfig can't find it. And when I try to install synaptic it fails because the gtk is not version 2.4. It seems to all hinge on this getting gtk to find glib. apt-get glib and gtk both say that I have the latest versions installed. What am I missing here? Dr. Roy F.
