Tyan S2850 4gb works well with 9.2
by bob sandefur 15 Nov '04

15 Nov '04

I wentback to a Tyan S2850 with 4GB after windows XP failed to recognize a dongle for a commercial software product after I'd changed the bios for the Asus SK8s so 9.2 got 4GB of memory. I did a clean install without incident and 9.2 thinks it has 4GB of memory and has worked for four days without incident. (Windows thinks it has 3.3GB but on the Asus board it thought it had 2GB when 4 GB were installed.) Robert (Bob) L.

64- and 32bit-version of libcurl
by Gernot Bauer 15 Nov '04

15 Nov '04

Hi everybody. I tried to install xine from http://packman.links2linux.de because the suse-version does not play DVDs... I could only find 32-bit-versions of xine and when I installed them, they did not find libcurl (although it is installed). If i install the 32bit-version (with --force), I can install the xine-rpms but I have problems with other suse-packages... Is there a possibility to install both 32- and 64bit versions of libcurl? Or are there 64-bit versions of xine that play most video-formats and dvds? Thank you, Gery

[suse-amd64] problems installing 9.1
by Erik Ester 15 Nov '04

15 Nov '04

Hi, I have a dual opteron rig and can't install suse 9.1 on it. It hangs every time.. I've tried it with acpi on, without acpi.. without acpi and DMA, have turned all the powersave functions in bios off. It still doesn't work. I managed to install it once and during the installation I moved the mouse everytime. But it hangs every time when running KDE3. can't use YOU to update because of the crashing of the machine. Have run several memory tests.. installed Windows XP and ran prime95 for hours, 3d05 for hours. No problem no crashes.. This is my rig: Dual AMD Opteron 244 Tyan Tiger K8W 2 GB Corsair Low Latency pc3200 Registered ECC (4* 512 Mb) Leadtek Winfast A360 256 MB (Nvidia FX5700) 4 * WD 360GD (raptor 10.000 RPM) Plextor 116A DVD-rom drive 360 Watt Chieftec 02B-BX-BX case 2 *92mm intake coolers 1 * 120mm outlet cooler Suse Professional DVD install 64-bit /boot on a separate partition. / on md0 (linux soft raid 5) 4 swap partitions Need help!

weird subsecond hangs with 9.2 and asus k8v
by Jens Richter 15 Nov '04

15 Nov '04

Hi, after installing 9.2 on my asus k8v se deluxe i have weird subsecond hangs (100~300ms) about every second. The following kernel message seems to be directly related (currently 2.6.8-24.3-default): warning: many lost ticks. Your time source seems to be instable or some driver is hogging interupts rip handle_IRQ_event+0x24/0x60 Does this ring a bell ? Note: no problems with 9.1 Greetings Jens.

Evolution 2.0 no contacts
by Edwin Heath 14 Nov '04

14 Nov '04

I installed 9.2 for amd_64 the other day and I'm trying to re-import all my contacts into evolution 2. I get the following error and no contacts folders: Error loading addressbook. We were unable to open this addressbook. Please check that the path exists and that you have permission to access it. I found a Fedora bug report which seems to fit https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=134783 Has anyone else had missing contacts folders and know a Suse specific fix? Cheers Ed

Does anyone have vmware working with SuSe 9.2 x86_64 yet? I followed this the directions at http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2004/07/fhassel_vmware91.html when I was running 9.1 and it worked fine. Now I am unable to compile the modules. I'm running the following. 2.6.8-24.3-default #1 Tue Oct 26 14:40:54 UTC 2004 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Dave

Windows drives on same matchine for 9.2 AMD64
by bob sandefur 13 Nov '04

13 Nov '04

I run SUSE 9.2 and XP professional dual-boot on two machines. The Windows drives are NTFS compressed and fat 32 and the 9.2 drives are reseirsf 9.2 default). From time to time it would be convenient to have a read/write access to the Windows drives while in Linux and the Linux drives while in Windows. This is a nonissue on the fat 32 partition but the only solution I have found so far is to reformat reseirsf to ext3 and use commercial software software from paragon systems. Paragon offers a free trial of their software so the only cost is time. Before I do this a couple questions: 1.) Is ext3 better or worse (or just different) that reseirsf? 2.) Anyone have any experience with the paragon software on 9.2 and AMD64? 3.) Any other solutions I should look at? thanks Robert (Bob) L.

Adding mail client to stock SuSE 9.1 mozilla
by Pierre Patino 13 Nov '04

13 Nov '04

Hello I've tried to google this but I've gotten too many wrong hits so I resort to the list. SuSE 9.1 AMD64 comes with mozilla. However the mozilla version lacks its mail client. I downloaded the latest Linux binary from mozilla.org but it is only for 32 bit Linux. It works for the most part even though there are messages of missing libraries (Look and Feel issues). Furthermore the fonts are horrible (on the downloaded version). Is it possible to just add the mail bit to the stunted SuSE 9.1 mozilla browser? TIA& Cheers

This error: kernel: 3w-9xxx: scsi0: error: (0x03:0x0104) SGL entry has illegal length: address=0xC90EB000, length=0x24 cmd=X is showing up in var/log/messages. The only thing that changes in the other lines are the address and the length. Is this a very serious problem or just a nuisance?
