Playing DVDs on AMD64 system
by larry_prikockis＠natureserve.org 24 Feb '05

24 Feb '05

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 ----------------------------------------- Real programmers confuse Christmas and Halloween because DEC 25 = OCT 31

Dvdauthor problems...
by Larry_Prikockis 06 Jun '04

06 Jun '04

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.... Larry Prikockis

video editing on suse 9.0 amd64
by detlef oertel 18 May '04

18 May '04

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 ? regards detlef oertel

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. MIlan

Dual-Opteron w/ 8GB RAM boot problem
by Bryan Stillwell 08 May '04

08 May '04

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?): Run 1: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0 VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem). linuxrc[12]: segfault at 00000000ffffff99 rip 000000000040c428 rsp 0000007fbffff860 error 6 VFS: Cannot open root device "sda2" or 08:02 Please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 08:02 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Run 2: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0 crc errorVFS: Cannot open root device "sda2" or 08:02 Please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 08:02 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Run 3: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0 NMI Watchdog detected LOCKUP on CPU1, eip ffffffff8012423c, registers: CPU 1 Pid: 1, comm: swapper Not tainted RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff8012423c>[{.text.lock.fork+27} RSP: 0000:00000100ca8f1d58 EFLAGS: 00000086 RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: 00000101ffd11e38 RCX: 0000000000000000 RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: 00000100ca8f1d68 RDI: 00000101ffd11e40 RBP: 00000100ca8f0000 R08: ffffffff803c7b00 R09: 00000101ffd12e00 R10: 0000000000000000 R11: 0000000080000000 R12: 00000101ffd11e40 R13: 00000100ca8f1d68 R14: 0000000000000000 R15: 0000000000000000 FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffffffff804bbb00(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0018 ES: 0018 CR0: 000000008005003b CR2: 0000000000000000 CR3: 00000000ca902000 CR4: 00000000000006e0 Process swapper (pid: 1, stackpage=100ca8f1000) Stack: 00000100ca8f1d58 0000000000000000 Call Trace: Code: f3 90 7f f9 e9 e7 e5 ff ff 80 3f 00 f3 90 7e f9 e9 18 e6 ff console shuts up ... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I've tried installing on a Rioworks Arima HDAMA machine with 8GB RAM and the same SCSI card, and it worked fine.

Samba 2GB file limit???
by John Craig 04 May '04

04 May '04

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

Crashes...
by Jason Vertrees 02 May '04

02 May '04

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 Regards, -- Jason Vertrees BSCB Graduate Student @ UTMB, Galveston javertre(a)utmb.edu :: http://www.bscb.utmb.edu

network not working with Suse 9.1 (amd64)
by Peter-Josef Meisch 01 May '04

01 May '04

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

Couldn't mount XFS-partitions
by Franz Mach 30 Apr '04

30 Apr '04

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?

Shutdown/Restart problem !
by Franz Mach 30 Apr '04

30 Apr '04

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 !!! Mit schönen Grüßen von Yahoo! Mail - http://mail.yahoo.de
