Playing DVDs on AMD64 system
by larry_prikockis＠natureserve.org 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

As far as I know, I'm not 'compiling in' anything other than what the package itself calls for. I did a... ./configure --enable-libsuffix=64 make Is there something I should be doing to 'ease back on the functions'?

Problems using graphical interfaces for bibtex
by Nicole Steireif 31 Jul '04

31 Jul '04

Hi there, after silently reading on this list for some months I now have a problem I can't solve with all my friends, so I'm going to ask my first question here. First I am no programmer or something like that, but just a user, so excuse me if these are quite silly questions to ya geeks :o) SuSE version is 9.1 x86-64 My first problem is the software "pybliographer" (provided with the DVDs) which gives the following output when trying to start: nist@yeeshor:~> pybliographer Willkommen zu pybliographer, Version 1.2.2 Copyright (C) 1998-2004 Frederic GOBRY Dies ist freie Software OHNE JEDE GARANTIE.

Same with the original gnu sources. After replacing config.sub and config.guess with newer versions from the installed (/usr/share) libtool configure succeeded. But the "make" afterwards then complained about some m4 stuff. See http://nopaste.php.cd/24184 for details. Since pybliographer did not work as intended, I tried to run bibview instead. But it core dumped with a segmentation violation in a "strcpy" right at startup. I'm a little stuck at this point and fear to handle all my bibliography manually with a plain text editor for my thesis. Any hints from your side? Help is very much appreciated! Thanks in advance, Nicole -- Das Einkommen ist die Provision, die einem der Staat fuer die Erarbeitung der Steuern zuerkennt

Samba has bugs
by Brad Bourn 30 Jul '04

30 Jul '04

I was able to confirm that reverting the samba package back to 3.0.2a-40 solves my problem of not being able to set file permissions to "read only" from my XP box. I'd tried just about everything and couldn't get it to work. I could copy a "read only" file to the share, I could remove the "read only" bit from the share, however, I could not for the life of me get it to set the "read only". Which was important for source control. Also, there not being a local echo for smbclient is still a problem. B-)

Is anyone using AutoYast2 to build cluster systems?
by Joe Landman 30 Jul '04

30 Jul '04

Hi Folks: A customer has asked us to look into building their Opteron cluster using SuSE. Before I port my old AutoInst tools, I wanted to see if AutoYast2 is used and ok for this task. Basically I want to be able to PXE boot Opteron nodes into SuSE 9.x installation. There are additional things I would like to do with IP address assignment and databases, but I'll be happy with a working PXE at first. Any thoughts? I looked over the AutoYast2 documents, and would like to hear from folks who have used it. Also, I had heard of some sort of HPC version of the distribution (stripped down of things not relevant to clusters). Anyone know about this? Is it real? If so, who can I speak to about it? Thanks.

For me a --disable-fbdev did the trick. Only works of course if you do not depend on framebuffer output though. Regards Michael

Suse 9.0 for x86_64 and php 4.3.8
by Milan Gabor 29 Jul '04

29 Jul '04

Hi! Since there is no new update for PHP for Suse 9.0 for x86_64 with latest PHP (4.3.8) I am trying to build it. But there are problems. It cannot find libjpeg. I tried to put --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/lib64 --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/ but nothings works. Does someone has latest php build? Perhaps in src.rpm? Thanks. MIlan

ADM Comet test driver for 64bit (e.g. for scaleo 600)
by Andi Kleen 29 Jul '04

29 Jul '04

In case you have a ADM Comet Tulip card (e.g. found in Fujitsu-Siemens Scaleo 600 Athlon64 machines): This driver didn't work on 64bit before. Please test the new driver in ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/ak/test2/tulip.ko together with the latest 9.1 update kernel (2.6.5-7.95) Just put tulip.ko into /lib/modules/2.6.5-override-default and restart the system and check if the builtin ethernet works now. If it works or fails please send me a mail. If you have a different Tulip card in a x86-64 system I would also appreciate testing and success/failure reports. The driver is only compiled for Uniprocessor systems so far, it won't work on SMP. -Andi
