Hi, Is is multilanguage or just german or french ? I asked a clerk in a mall here and he said that the doc was in english and the OS french only :( So if I buy it here (switzerland), will it be only french or can I have a choice: french, german or english? Thanks!

Mysql 4.0.20 RPM (from mysql.com)
by Johannes B. Ullrich 09 Jun '04

09 Jun '04

I am having problems installing the rpm for mysql 4.0.20 on my system (Suse 9.1 pro, AMD 64). 4.0.18, which is included in this distro, works, but has a bug with a particular command ("load data from master") which is apparently fixed in 4.0.20. I am able to recompile it from source, but if I install the RPM, the mysql daemon and client crash immediately after start (segfault). has anybody else run into this? This happens to me on two different systems. But Suse 9.1 64 bit, one is an AMD64 desktop and the other one is a dual opteron server. I did file a bug report with Mysql yesterday, but haven't heard from them so far. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------- Johannes Ullrich jullrich(a)euclidian.com pgp key: http://johannes.homepc.org/PGPKEYS contact: http://johannes.homepc.org/contact.htm ---------------------------------------------------------------- There are two kinds of system administrators: The first kind solves problems with little shell scripts.

Re: [suse-amd64] Application issues : resolution

I sent this information to MSI and haven't heard anything back from them. I will wait and see if their next bios upgrade fixes the problem for me. But i did find a message on the mandrake boards that had the source code for a kernel module that fixed the problem as well. I compiled that and things have been steady for the past day. I have been able to use OpenOffice without the machine locking up, and everything else appears to be stable as well. I don't know why the new bios worked for some people and not me, but the kernel module is fine for now. Maybe in the future i'll upgrade my or cpus and that will alleviate my problems. Thanks for all the suggestions. edward On Fri, 4 Jun 2004 10:45:41 +0200 "Andi Kleen" <ak(a)suse.de> wrote: > On Fri, Jun 04, 2004 at 07:23:20AM +0200, Vojtech Pavlik wrote: > > On Fri, Jun 04, 2004 at 12:38:33AM -0400, edward winston wrote: > > > > > I did this and they said that they needed more information on errata > > > #94.

SLES8/AMD64/Raid problems?
by Michael Galloway 08 Jun '04

08 Jun '04

good day all ... has anyone had any problems updating SLES8 on amd64 to the current 2.4.x kernel? after clean install of SLES8 then a YOU update the system fails to boot with no root filesytem errors and then reiserfs errors. this is a megaraid raid0 system and reiserfs. i think perhaps a kernel module is not getting loaded correctly at boot time but i cannot get it worked out. any help appreciated. -- michael

Support account error
by chu＠tes-mail.jpl.nasa.gov 08 Jun '04

08 Jun '04

Has there been a recent change in the accounts used to access updates at the Suse update site? I just tried to update my SLES 8 AMD64 system, and it is not accepting the user name and password that I have been using before. (Login failure from YOU.) Should I send email to support(a)suse.com about this? Also, someone mentioned that I can get updates without registering my software. Well, I've registered two packages already, but neither of them are working right now (same user name and password as above), so I'd like to find the fastest way to get my systems updated. thanks, eyc

Re: [suse-amd64] KVM Mouse Problems
by Leif Sorensen 07 Jun '04

07 Jun '04

I did not get a chance to try out the recomended solutions until this weekened, and none of them seem to work. I know that the lines added are loading, because the scroll wheel disapears from the mouse under proto=bare, but the mouse still does not function properly under the KVM. I also tried switching back and forth witht the ctrl+alt+(function key), as suggested and none seemed to work. Would this have anything to do with the fact that it is an optical mouse and not a trackball? I can provide my menu.lst, and name and models of the mouse and KVM if needed. Hoping someone may have a few more suggestions.

Similalry to original questioner I depend on openafs and it's currently the only problem which prevents me from moving to Suse 9.1 on Opteron. I'm ready to get over the loss of hotplug, wireless, firewire etc. -- Mirek Ruda

Dear folks, I obtained one socket754 board with nVidia3/250. Has anyone tried SuSE9.1 on this already? Very soon I try to install SuSE9.1 with SATA or scsi. Is there any possible difficulties? Thanks for your attention. yoriaki fujimori

[Fwd: 2.6.5 Linux kernels... Problems with Oracle and with vmware]
by Dmitry Melekhov 07 Jun '04

07 Jun '04

Hello! I just downloaded and compiled this kernel. Unfortunately, I still run Mandrake 9.2, but problems are not Mandrake specific. 1. I can't run Oracle 9.2.0.4 for AMD64 with SGA larger that 1.7Gb with 2.6 kernel: [oracle@dm oracle]$ sqlplus SQL*Plus: Release 9.2.0.4.0 - Production on Mon Jun 7 15:26:40 2004 Copyright (c) 1982, 2002, Oracle Corporation. All rights reserved. Enter user-name: /as sysdba Connected to an idle instance. SQL> startup ORA-27123: unable to attach to shared memory segment This problem exists with Suse's 2.6.5 and with 2.6.3 from kernel.org. But I can successefully run Oracle with 2.5Gb SGA using 2.4 kernel from Mandrake distribution. Looks like this is generic 2.6 kernel problem 2. I had vmware 4.5.1 works with 2.6.3, but I can't compile modules for 2.6.5: Building the vmmon module.
