k3b and SuSE 9.1 AMD64 (kernel 2.6.8) : DVD ok, CD not ok
by patheve2 06 Dec '04

06 Dec '04

Hello I am using k3b v0.11.12-4 which is an update of the original version coming from SuSE 9.1. The kernel is the last one for SuSE 9.2 : 2.6.8-24.5. This distro runs on an Asus laptop L5D with a DVD/CD burner made by Toshiba. This is a SD-R6112 burner : DVD-R/DVD-RW and CD-RW. k3b seems to have a curious behaviour : the device "Toshiba DVD-ROM SD-R6112" is well recognized for erasing a burned DVD-RW and it is not recognized for erasing a burned CD-RW when k3b is used by a user account. All is good with the root account. In the /dev, there are two symbolic links : /dev/dvdrecorder -> /dev/hdb and /dev/cdrecorder -> /dev/hdb. The group for /dev/hdb is disk. With ou without the user account put in the group disk, the problem is the same. With an older version (0.10) of k3b with SuSE 9.0 AMD64, all is good. If someone can find the origin of this problem ..... Regards Pascal

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

I have also been having strange issues with my DVD-RW drive, which could be related, seems as if interupt handling is not done correcty on this platform. I get random hang up's from the dvdrw, and IO errors from burn processes... here is the weird thing, I can't read DVD-R's i've burnt off on my drive, but can in almost all the other dvd roms i've tried... Anyway... Can provide more info if someone is willing to take a look at this issue. Kind regards Joel W NZ

big machine
by Steve Potter 04 Dec '04

04 Dec '04

We're about to start looking for a big machine (compared to the ones that we have now). We're thinking about something with 4 processors and 16 or 32GB RAM. Are there any motherboards and/or configurations that we need to be careful to avoid because they won't work with SuSE 9.2? Any other tips on selecting a big machine? The machine will be running EDA jobs (sometimes concurrently, but only a few at once), each reading in a ton of data and manipulating it in memory, then writing it back out. Thanks, Steve Potter

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?

Chaintech ZNF3-250 Mobo
by John Craig 03 Dec '04

03 Dec '04

Hi, I am thinking about putting together an Athlon64 system at home. Does anyone have experience with the Chaintech ZNF3-250 mobo? How is SuSE 9.2 driver support for the onboard hardware: - nForce3 - 250 chipset - SATA, RAID0 - 7.1 channel , 24 bit sound - 8x AGP graphics slot - USB 2.0, firewire - broadcom gigabit lan - DDR400 ram - SD, MMC and CF card reader Also, are there any suggestions for a graphics card that has stable 3D driver support, that can be added through YOU? (nVidia, I presume, but which model is good these days, with good Linux support)? Thanks, John Craig

Mutex destroy failure: Device or resource busy
by Juan Pablo Zagorodny 02 Dec '04

02 Dec '04

Hi there, Does anybody here know why when I open a "konsole" from a remote X client, after closing konsole, after some seconds I receive this message: # Mutex destroy failure: Device or resource busy # ICE default IO error handler doing an exit(), pid = 14955, errno = 0 Nothing happens, it's just annoying to read this anytime... I have a SuSE 9.2 running at 64 bits on a system ASUS K8N-E Deluxe AMD 64 3400+ (chipset nVidia nforce3 250Gb) and everythings went just fine with SuSE 9.2 as taken out of the box. Even the network (forcedeth) and sound worked fine from the beginning. I also have the same OS running on a Dual Opteron System (kernel with smp) and I receive the same ugly messages... I access both machines with ssh -X from other machines running X in 64 bits as well. # konsole kbuildsycoca running... [...] --> after exit : after some seconds it appear: # Mutex destroy failure: Device or resource busy # ICE default IO error handler doing an exit(), pid = 8588, errno = 2 I've googled the message and it seems to be from pyKDE. Is this a sort of bug of konsole ? Has someone any idea how to fix it ? Thanks!

cool n quiet on a GA-K8VT800
by Samuel Ryan Goodwin 02 Dec '04

02 Dec '04

according to the Gigabyte website, this motherboard is certified to work with the amd64's cool n quiet technology. What do I need to do to enable this feature? Also, does the amd64 2800+ support hypertransport? according to the suseplugger, hypertransport is listed as an unknown. I'd also like to take advantage of this too, if the 2800+ does it.

I've noticed that in suse 9.1 quite a few times, but apart from the message itself, I've never noticed any problems. What exactly does server response code 200 mean (Haven't these people ever heard of english error messages?), and what problems could it cause? (And is this resmgr patch in YaST for 9.1 too?) (I don't have an x86-64 machine to test it with at the moment)
