system locks up with SuSE 9.3
by Wilko Keegstra 04 Oct '05

04 Oct '05

We have 3 computers with Asus A8V motherboard. 1 has no raid and uses the on board Marvell Gigabit ethernet.... NO problems (driver sk98lin loaded) 2 with raid 0 , when Marvell Gigabit ethernet is used (sk98lin driver) System locks up 3 with raid 1, when Marvell Gigabit ethernet is used (sk98lin driver) system locks up So the right drivers are used, but on the systems with raid (VIA VT8237) the system will hang sooner or later (but within minutes).

gcc later than 3.4.2 : RPM for SuSE 9.1
by Mikhail Kuzminsky 04 Oct '05

04 Oct '05

Is there somewhere x86-64 RPMs for gcc/g77/g++ versions beginning from 3.4.3 (and later) which may be installed on old SuSE 9.1 Prof. for x86-64 ? To be more exactly, will gcc-RPMs from more new SuSE versions work successfully or it'll be necessary to upgrade additionally many other RPMs ? Yours Mikhail Kuzminsky Zelinskly Institute of Organic Chemistry Moscow

Java 1.5
by Dimitar Georgiev Popov 04 Oct '05

04 Oct '05

Hello, I updated recently from 9.2 to 9.3. Both Java 1.4 and 1.5 were install, but I checked that Yast has made all sym links pointing to 1.5. Everything was perfect until I started Eclipse. It didn't started. I found the following stack trace in the log file: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /usr/lib/eclipse/libswt-pi-gtk-3063.so: /usr/lib/eclipse/libswt-pi-gtk-3063.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory at java.lang.ClassLoader$NativeLibrary.load(Native Method) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadLibrary0(ClassLoader.java:1751) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadLibrary(ClassLoader.java:1660) at java.lang.Runtime.loadLibrary0(Runtime.java:822) at java.lang.System.loadLibrary(System.java:992) at org.eclipse.swt.internal.Library.loadLibrary(Library.java:100) at org.eclipse.swt.internal.gtk.OS.<clinit>(OS.java:19) at org.eclipse.swt.internal.Converter.wcsToMbcs(Converter.java:63) at org.eclipse.swt.internal.Converter.wcsToMbcs(Converter.java:54) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.<clinit>(Display.java:118) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.Workbench.createDisplay(Workbench.java:268) at org.eclipse.ui.PlatformUI.createDisplay(PlatformUI.java:153) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.ide.IDEApplication.createDisplay(IDEApplication.java:122) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.ide.IDEApplication.run(IDEApplication.java:72) at org.eclipse.core.internal.runtime.PlatformActivator$1.run(PlatformActivator.java:335) at org.eclipse.core.runtime.adaptor.EclipseStarter.run(EclipseStarter.java:273) at org.eclipse.core.runtime.adaptor.EclipseStarter.run(EclipseStarter.java:129) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:585) at org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main.basicRun(Main.java:185) at org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main.run(Main.java:704) at org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main.main(Main.java:688) Another application (Azureus) also didn't started for a similar exception, except that the native library was another (I didn't save the exception though :( ). The solution which I used was to uninstall Java 1.5 because apparently something was wrong there with the native calls. To my surprise everything start working. So I am with Java 1.4 now, but I want to have Java 1.5 back, mainly because of the nice look of applets ;) Greetings, Mitko

Is KDE multimedia now unmaintainable?
by Paul C. Leopardi 03 Oct '05

03 Oct '05

Hi, Sorry about the (only slightly) off-topic post, but I was about to file a bug report about arts, when I saw the following comment on KDE bug 111838 http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=111838 ------- Additional Comment #1 From Seb Ruiz 2005-09-01 01:37 ------- Unfortunately, your backtrace indicates the problem is within arts, not amarok, but we can't be sure since it is a poor backtrace. Additionally, the arts engine does not have a maintainer, so it is not guaranteed to work and there is nobody to fix the problem. SUSE 9.3 AMD64 uses arts for a lot of multimedia stuff. I have seen arts crashes in amarok and noatun for example. And yet what seems to be a perfectly legitimate bug is closed as INVALID because there is nobody to maintain arts? Why does SUSE Linux depend on software which can't be fixed because it is not maintained by anyone? What is supposed to have replaced arts by now and why doesn't SUSE 9.3 use it? What does SUSE 10.0 do about this? In the meantime, how do I rip arts out of my system and what do I replace it with? gstreamer? Which packages does this affect? juk? amarok? noatun? kaffeine? kdetv? Best regards, Paul Leopardi See also A note on further development and maintenance http://www.arts-project.org/doc/arts-maintenance.html aRts maintenance http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-core-devel&m=110200188523177&w=2 A Note From the Author of aRts http://dot.kde.org/1102062404/ Wanted: aRts-engine maintainer for amaroK http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kde-multimedia/2005-January/004069.html

clock advance with SuSE 9.0 AMD64 on a laptop
by patheve2 02 Oct '05

02 Oct '05

Hello again My laptop is an Asus L5D. On the HD, SuSE 9.0 (kernel 2.4.21) and SuSE 9.1 upgraded into 9.2 (kernel 2.6.8). With 9.0, the system clock is always not on time after use. I have to go to bios and put the clock on time. No problem with 9.2 : the system clock is stable. How to explain such a behavior ? Kind regards Pascal

sound error (sometimes) with KDE 3.3 then 3.4 on SuSE 9.2
by patheve2 02 Oct '05

02 Oct '05

Hello again Sometimes I get an error message from KDE such as in a window : === error - artsmessage ==== Sound server fatal error: cpu overload, aborting ========================== It can occur for ending a KDE session (a sound is played at this step), or when a software must play a sound. I hoped that an update of KDE 3.3 by 3.4 could solve this problem. This is not the case. I use ALSA sound system. What can I do ? On the same laptop (Asus L5D), there is a SuSE 9.0 AMD64 with KDE 3.1 : no problem with sound. The sound card is an Asustek nForce3 model. The main loaded module is snd_intel8x0. Kind regards Pascal

problems with toshiba r6252 dvd
by don leslie 02 Oct '05

02 Oct '05

I have a compaq r3240us which has a toshiba r6252 dvd drive. When I tried writing to dvd+r media with k3b I get a message that I need to use a dvd+- double layer dvd. An HP web page lists the drive as 8x but other web pages claim it is 2.x . I also tried running vmware and windows but the vmware setup for the 2.6.8-24.18 kernel fails with : Unable to make a vmmon module that can be loaded in the running kernel: insmod: error inserting '/tmp/vmware-config20/vmmon.o': -1 Invalid parameters There is probably a slight difference in the kernel configuration between the set of C header files you specified and your running kernel I know this is two problems but got to the second by trying to find a workaround for writing a dvd. Any suggestions. Don Leslie
