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

Has anyone else had success using the dvdauthor program
(http://dvdauthor.sourceforge.net) to create dvd menus? My efforts keep
failing with the spumux program (part of dvdauthor) failing with:
INFO: Locale=en_US.UTF-8
INFO: Converting filenames to UTF-8
ERR: Cannot convert UTF8 string 'buttonsone.png': Invalid or incomplete
multibyte or wide character
I've tried every variation of setting the Locale to UTF-8 or ISO-8859-1,
etc but no luck... Using all the same software on a older AMD computer
running a 32-bit version of linux, I have no problems... I don't know a
lot about character encodings, so I'm a bit lost here and am hoping
someone else with an AMD64 has gotten these programs working with SuSE
linux.
For what it's worth, I've tracked down the portion of the code that
fails (and produces the above error) to be related to a call to the
'iconv' program.
Any clues, hints, virtual kicks-to-the-head, etc would be
appreciated....

hello all,
I tried to do some Video editing (capture from my DV-camera, cut the film, export to mpeg and burn on dvd)
on my suse9.0 amd64 box (uname -ir: 2.4.21-209-default x86_64).
what I tried is:
- running mainactor 5.1 beta: runs, but no possibility to capture
- running mainactor 5.2 beta: possibility to capture, but stops with segmentation fault
- running kino 0.6.4: runs, can capture [:-)))], but can't export to mpeg.
After some research, I found that the export problem caused by the fact
the suse mjpegtools rpm lacks some important files (mp2enc, mpeg2enc,...)
according to license problems for suse to put them on the dvd.
For my 32-Bit Suse9.0 Linux I found complete mjpegtools rpm's at
http://packman.links2linux.de/index.php4?action=154&vn=2
With this rpm I was able to export my videos in my 32-Bit Suse9.0.
So here are my questions:
Does anybody know where to find a complete mjpegtools rpm for suse9.0 amd64 ?
Or have I to compile it by my self ?
If I have to compile it: is it only: 'configure...make...install' or much complicated ?

Hi!
Does anyone know, when can we expect SuSE 9.1 will be available on ftp
sites?
Last info was on 22.4.2004 that ftp version will be published in few days.

I installed SuSE 9.0 for x86_64 on the following box but I'm having boot
problems when the machine is loaded with 8GB of RAM:
Dual Opteron 248
8GB RAM (in 8 1GB sticks)
Tyan K8W (S2885) - BIOS Rev 1.02
Adaptec 29320
If I take out half the RAM so that I only have 4GB total in the system,
everything works fine. However, if the full 8GB are in I get somewhat
random errors (memory corruption?):

I've tried installing on a Rioworks Arima HDAMA machine with 8GB RAM and
the same SCSI card, and it worked fine. So I'm thinking that there's a
driver issue with the Tyan board. BTW, I have a sister machine with the
same Tyan board, and it also experiences the same problem.

Hi,
I recently became aware (the hard way) about a kernel limitation in
2.4.x that prevents a linux client from reading files larger than 2GB
from a SMB filesystem. The situation is that our AMD64 Linux server,
running SuSE 9.0, (kernel 2.4.21-171-smp, samba-2.2.8a-108) is serving
files to windows and linux machines. I have successfully created and
read files over 12GB in size from a dual opteron machine running Windows
Server 2003 beta for x86-64. The linux machine (dual Xeon, SuSE9.0 for
x86, kernel 2.4.21-166-smp, samba-2.2.8a-107) fails to read files over
2GB from the same server.
According to the Samba lists, this is not due to limitations of Samba
2.x, but rather it is a limit in smbfs in the 2.4 kernel, and there are
patches available to overcome it (smbfs-2.4.xx-lfs.patch). Has this
issue been resolved in the 2.6 kernel? If so, then I will simply upgrade
to SuSE 9.1. If not, I may have to rebuild my kernels. Do you know where
I can find a patch for current SuSE kernels?
Thanks,
John Craig
Hey Susers (what is Suseonians better?),
I still have frequent system halts/crashes due to what appears to be the
NVidia driver.
Does anyone else have this? Do we just put up with it for now? I feel
like I'm a Windows user rebooting my damn machine all the time. (2x
tonight). Interestingly enough, my Debian server w/older hardware
hasn't been shut off in well over 6 months. :)
System:
SuSe 9.0 AMD64 2.6.5 GeForce FX 5600 256 MB

Hi,
I have just installed Suse 9.1 on a Fujitsu/Siemens Scaleo 600 with an AMD64
3200+ processor. I installed both versions (32 and 64 bit) in different
partitions. The 32 bit version is running fine, sound, card reader and the
network.
In the 64 bit version the network card is recognized as "Linksys Network
Everywhere Fast Ethernet 10/100 model NC100 (rev11)", same as in 32bit. Yast
didn't put in the tulip driver, I did that manually.
I am not able to get a dhcp address from my dhcp server, so I set up IP
address, host name, router and name server by hand. I can start the network,
ifconfig shows correct values, but I cant use it.
netstat -r hangs, if I ping a different machine in my net I get a ping answer
with the following error:
wrong data byte #30 should be 0x1e but was 0x2f
I cannot ping the 64bit machine from a different one.
I don't think it's a hardware problem, because the 9.1 32 bit version on the
very same machine runs without any problems.
Has anybody a clue what might be wrong?
Peter
I installed the SuSE 9.1 for amd64 yesterday.
Primerly i configured some XFS partitions with YaST.
After the formatting occurred a error message like
unable to mount /dev/hde1 on /mnt/ ... -
Ignore/Abort/Retry .
If i click on one of these buttons the system hangs.
On console 4 appears a kernel bug message.
After all i changed the format to Ext3 and this worked
well.
Is that a known problem?
Anybody here who has a working XFS-Filesystem under
SuSE 9.1?
Franz

After the installation of SuSE 9.1 (amd64) on my new
AMD Athlon64 3000+ (2.0 GHz) with
VIA K8T800 FIS2R Mainboard
i tried to shutdown the system from KDE,
but the shutdown process hangs after
"sending all processes the KILL signal".
If i type 'shutdown -h now' or with '-r' as root the
same happens.
At this moment i'm unable to shutdown or restart my
system !!!
