Andi - I can submit a patch, but I'm not sure what to do. The code loops through NR_CPUS and ignores the ones that are not online: if (!cpu_online(i)) continue; This code used to work, but the hotplug changes broke it.

Hi all, I just installed suse 10. I added to my repositories packman, and update all kde libs so i can have mp3 support. I want to add to my repositories also supplementary support for kde 3.4.3, but i saw that packman only have support for kde 3.4.2? What will happen if i update to kde 3.4.3? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

The powernow-k8 driver in SL9.3 caused clock instability on SMP machines that did not support HPET timers; SL10.0 and the mainstream kernel support PMTimer for those machines. That's most likely what you were seeing. The single processor, dual-core problem is believed to be something different and is under investigation at AMD.

I'll defer to you, Andi, but 2.6.13.4 definitely has PM timer support for AMD64. Is there really no way to force a particular time source on AMD64? > notsc might do the trick on 64bit though.

Can't load SuSE 9.3 on new motherboard
by Pierre Patino 28 Oct '05

28 Oct '05

Greetings I obtained a newly released Opteron/Athlon64 socket 939 motherboard from SuperMicro. I built the box and put the DVD in and booted. After I get through the installation choices, the installer stops and says it can no longer "see" the DVD/CD reader (panel becomes painted in red). This I tried with every installation choice (acpi on/off, safe mode etc.). I tried loading SLE9 and I got a different problem -- it could not see the SATA hard disk. I suspect that the loaded 9.3 kernel module has trouble talking to the DVD drive because of some chipset issue. I'm surprised that the initial whatchamacallit that boots and starts the installation process has no trouble with the DVD drive. Has anybody conquered this demon? TIA & Cheers

I cannot confirm that. They may help. We're working on finding the answer. I suspect that clock=pmtmr will help, for what it's worth. > Sorry for the request for clarification, but I'm stumbling > around in the dark on this matter, and don't want to waste > any more time on the problem - especially if it's all fruitless. All I can officially say at this point is that AMD is aware of the problem and will be releasing a statement when we have more information. Unofficially, clock=pmtmr should at least reduce the amount of lost ticks. -Mark Langsdorf AMD, Inc.

When I had this problem, it turned out to be the firmware of the DVD drive that was causing the problem. I swapped it out for another drive, and the install went smoothly from there. I later upgraded the firmware on the drive and was able to then use it to perform the installation. -Alain -----Original Message----- From: Andi Kleen [mailto:ak@suse.de] Sent: Thursday, October 27, 2005 9:20 AM To: suse-amd64(a)suse.com Cc: Pierre Patino Subject: Re: [suse-amd64] Can't load SuSE 9.3 on new motherboard On Thursday 27 October 2005 17:35, Pierre Patino wrote: > Greetings > > I obtained a newly released Opteron/Athlon64 socket 939 motherboard from > SuperMicro.

And is it an SATA DVD? You can check the BIOS setup.

The initial boot loader uses the BIOS to access the DVD, the later installation requires a Linux driver. -Andi -- Check the List-Unsubscribe header to unsubscribe For additional commands, email: suse-amd64-help(a)suse.com

many lost ticks
by Jonathan Brooks 27 Oct '05

27 Oct '05

Hi, I have an AMD Athlon64 X2 machine running SuSE 10 (x86_64) on an Nvidia Nforce4 Ultra motherboard, and have noticed that the system clock has become unstable (it runs too fast). Not sure when it occurred, but I have been getting a lot of error messages like this in dmesg: warning: many lost ticks. Your time source seems to be instable or some driver is hogging interupts rip acpi_processor_idle+0x12f/0x37f [processor] Is there some parameter I should be passing to the kernel to stop it correcting for lost ticks? Also, is there some way to track whether the clock is really gaining seconds - other than by just leaving it, and watching the clock? :) Best wishes, Jon. -- Jonathan Brooks (Ph.D.) Research Assistant.

iptables probably broken
by Constantine 'Gus' Fantanas 27 Oct '05

27 Oct '05

Hi, all. In my recent postings to this board I mentioned that 'iptables' gave me errors like iptables v1.3.3: can't initialize iptables table `nat': Bad file descriptor Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded. iptables v1.3.3: can't initialize iptables table `filter': Bad file descriptor Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded. iptables v1.3.3: can't initialize iptables table `mangle': Bad file descriptor Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded. ...[Repeated many times, probalby depending on how many times a script invokes 'iptables -t ...'.] I was got these errors regardless of whether I used my own firewall/NAT script or SuSE's firewall. Just to be sure, I compiled the SuSE stock kernel myself (I also wanted to "lighten it up" since it comes configured for all kinds of hardware I don't have); I still got the same errors. Then, I downgraded to the version and dependencies on the SuSE 9.3 DVD. After that, 'iptables' worked flawlessly on my SuSE 10.0. Therefore, I must conclude that the newer versions of 'iptables' are broken. It makes no difference if I install the one on the SuSE 10.0 DVD or the repositories. I suspect this problem is NOT particular to SuSE 10; therefore earlier versions of SuSE may also be affected by the "upgraded" versions of 'iptables' in the apt-get repositories. CF

A8V, Suse 9.3 and BIOS memory remapping
by Siegbert Baude 26 Oct '05

26 Oct '05

Hi, I just upgraded the BIOS of my A8V deluxe to the newest version (1014) und tried to boot with the Suse 9.3 Live-CD, distributed by the German magazine c't. If I activate "software memory hole" in the BIOS, I see only 3GB (with the "free" comand and also inside the BIOS system information) despite 4GB of physical RAM installed. dmesg says this: Linux version 2.6.11.4-20a-default (geeko@buildhost) (gcc version 3.3.5 20050117 (prerelease) (SUSE Linux)) #1 Wed Mar 23 21:52:37 UTC 2005 BIOS-provided physical RAM map: BIOS-e820: 0000000000000000 - 000000000009fc00 (usable) BIOS-e820: 000000000009fc00 - 00000000000a0000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 00000000000e4000 - 0000000000100000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 0000000000100000 - 00000000bffb0000 (usable) BIOS-e820: 00000000bffb0000 - 00000000bffc0000 (ACPI data) BIOS-e820: 00000000bffc0000 - 00000000bfff0000 (ACPI NVS) BIOS-e820: 00000000bfff0000 - 00000000c0000000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 00000000ff780000 - 0000000100000000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 0000000100000000 - 0000000140000000 (usable) Warning only 4GB will be used.

So after all, would a full 64bit installation of 9.3 install a "PAE enabled kernel", so that I would see all 4GB of installed RAM? Is this a special choice then or simply the standard kernel?

The Gigabyte GA-K8NF-9 was mentioned on this list before, having few problems. However, people tend to report "works", which isn't terribly useful. Specifically: Does it work with the SUSE 10.0 kernel out of the box (basic functionality)? Does the IEEE1394 interface work with SUSE 10.0? (There is no specific chip specified, and linux1394.org is dead.) Are SATA disks recognised during installation and give no trouble for booting and otherwise? Does the gigabit LAN work reliably/at all at 100M and at 1G?

MANY-MANY PROBLEMS AFTER UPGRADING TO 10.0
by Constantine 'Gus' Fantanas 26 Oct '05

26 Oct '05

Hello everybody. Today (errrrrr, yesterday, since it is now well past midnight and I am still pulling my hair off!), UPS brought me 10.0. With eager anticipation I started upgrading 9.3 to 10.0 on my Presario 3240 laptop (2.2 GHz AMD64 based, nVidia chipset, nVidia GeForce4 440, Go with 64MB dedicated video memory). Now I regret it ever doing this upgrade. Below I describe some of the many problems I am facing after the upgrade and then provide what I think are pertinent syslogs. --What happened to alsaplayer? It seems it has disappeared, even from the repositories! --Often the cursor does not "grab" when it is supposed to (left-clicking on sliders or window frames for resizing or when attempting to "block" text to be pasted by left-clicking and dragging --I use KDE). --The internet connection unexpectedly freezes after about 10 minutes of uptime (it did not do it just before the upgrade and after the upgrade I tested it with a 32-bit system; the ethernet cable and the cable modem seem to work fine with the 32-bit system --running 32-bit SuSE 9.3). This happens even if there is virtually no internet activity. See the pertinent syslogs below. Could this be a kernel problem? 'uname -r' responds '2.6.13-15-default', the stock SuSE kernel. --Shutdown takes forever (maybe over a minute) to commence. --Lost ticks are reported in the syslogs, even booting with the 'no_timer_check' kernel directive. (And no, I need ACPI because this is a laptop!) See the pertinent syslogs below. --DMA and IRQ errors also get registered in the syslogs, as you can see below. --The upgrade trashed all my "politically incorrect" media players! (I remember that before SuSE was aquired by Novel, it offered, on the installation CD/DVD, rpms for hard-to-install media players. Those were the days!) with some effort, I can tolerate "politically correct" libraries, such as 'xine-lib', if I know what I have to delete and install from other sources. But in my case it insisted on replacing perfectly good libraries, claiming inconsistencies. When the upgrade was done, kaffeine, xine, and MPlayer, which worked reasonably well under 9.3 (with the exception of some --not all-- .wmv files) had been virtually eviscerated. None could play DVDs, or mpegs, or whatever else! None! I uninstalled 'xine-lib', reinstalled 'libxine1', uninstalled and then re-installed kaffeine, and made sure that 'w32codec' was installed, but the end result was the same. (It could be that some packages are 32-bit and some others 64.) At least, if the user has "politically incorrect" libraries and executables installed, the upgrade procedure should make an attempt to leave them alone!!!! Some libraries, such as 'libdvdcss' are not even available in the apt-get repositories and one has to go on a treasure hunt to find them --if he is able to at all. Hear me out, SuSE/Novell! I cannot spend all my waking hours and cut into my sleep hunting for dependencies to get my computer to do the things I want. I am seriously thinking about switching to Mandriva or some other distribution which has all the software I want ready to go. If this had been a friend's computer, most probably I WOULD have gone with Mandriva. (Where is the ease of use, advertised on the box my10.0 came in? Novell has been quoted in the newsmedia about its desire to pernetrate the desktop. How are they going to attract people away from Windows with problems like these? Sure, I am no guru, but I am no novice either.) --Why does 'lspci' report my video card as '01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV17 [GeForce4 420 Go 32M] (rev a3)', while I know it is a *64MB* GeForce *440* Go? Now some snippets of the syslogs (obtained via 'tail -n 100 -f /var/sys/log/messages'): Internet connection hangs: Oct 25 00:04:53 presario gconfd (nonsense-7105): GConf server is not in use, shutting down.

Eclipse problems under x86_64 / 10.0

Hi. I just updated to 10.0, and everything seems to work except Eclipse. I get an unsatisfied link error. The error message doesn't make much sense since the file it is complaining is present.

network installation iso image for 10.0

Is there an 10.0 iso image for network installation? There was one in the 9.3 tree. I realize I can use CD1 with manual=1 to start a network install, but I need to do a network install of x86_64.. Is there another flag for that? eric

RE: [suse-amd64] MANY-MANY PROBLEMS AFTER UPGRADING TO 10.0
by Black, Alain 25 Oct '05

(Sorry for the top posting, I have yet to figure out how to get Outlook to properly inline post) I'm running 10.0 x64 and have had no network issues. My system is a desktop and not a laptop. The x64 system was a fresh install, but I have a 32bit system that I upgraded from 9.3 (with politically incorrect media players as well). Those players were marked in YAST as do not upgrade. They were preserved through the upgrade and continue to work quite nicely under 10.0. My 32bit system that I upgraded is running MythTV. If you want to re-install the "good" versions of the media players again, I would suggest heading over to http://packman.links2linux.org he even has a YAST repository setup that will plug right in. -Alain -----Original Message----- From: Andreas Jaeger [mailto:aj@suse.de] Sent: Tuesday, October 25, 2005 2:32 AM To: Constantine 'Gus' Fantanas Cc: suse-amd64(a)suse.com Subject: Re: [suse-amd64] MANY-MANY PROBLEMS AFTER UPGRADING TO 10.0 Constantine 'Gus' Fantanas <fantanas(a)innocent.com> writes: > Hello everybody. > > Today (errrrrr, yesterday, since it is now well past midnight and I am > still pulling my hair off!), UPS brought me 10.0.

apt-get errors in 9.3
by Constantine 'Gus' Fantanas 24 Oct '05

24 Oct '05

Hi, I get unsigned-packages errors in apt-get and synaptic for 9.3. In synaptic, I specifically unchecked "Check Signatures," but I still get the same error. It seems the apt-get site was updated within the past week or so. The downloads are much quicker, too. Any ideas? UPS is bringing my 10.0 :) , but I am installing 9.3 on a friend's computer; he wants his computer "yesterday." This is a frustrating experience because these errors prevent me, among other things, from installing the "good" media players, which depend on libraries such as 'lib-xine', which must be installed in the place of SuSE's politically-correct 'xine-lib'. I think that SuSE should reconsider its policy of eviscerating its media players and assorted libraries. CF

Mark, On my dual NIC systems under 9.3, I only configure the NIC that I want to use. Otherwise on boot the system will spend 20 seconds waiting for DHCP to timeout for the NIC that isn't plugged in. I would recommend deconfiguring the NIC that you don't want to use at this time, and then only configure it when you're ready to use it. -Alain. -----Original Message----- From: mark pryor [mailto:tlviewer@yahoo.com] Sent: Friday, October 14, 2005 1:56 PM To: suse-amd64(a)suse.com Subject: [suse-amd64] strategy for gigabyte dual nic board in 9.3 hello, SuSE 9.3 x86_64 system: Gigabyte ga-k8n ultra-9 Asus 6800 EN Nvidia pci-x video 1 GB Ocz 2-3-2-5 RAM hd: WD 2500JD SATA (JBOD nv_sata_0) I'm having trouble setting up the two LAN devices in Yast network devices.

SuSE 10, sound and Thinkpad
by David 22 Oct '05

22 Oct '05

I realize that this is not a amd64 question so I am sorry if it is inappropiate. I have asked on several forums and not had one reply. The folks here are very knowledgable so I am hoping someone has an idea for me. I have installed Novell/SuSE 10.0 on my trusty IBM Thinkpad 600e. I have used this TP for several years, starting with SuSE 9.0. It has worked great. I did have a few problems starting the sound with 9.0 but managed to get it going. When I used it with 9.2 I had absolutly no problem with anything other than APM. Sound worked great. With this same new laptop I have not been able to make the soind work correctly at all. If I go into YaST>Hardware>Sound I show two sound cards. CS4239 that will not open for editing, nor can it be deleted. I have to delete the sound file from /etc/modprobe.d. When this is done the other sound card(CS4610 Sound Fusion Audio Acceleraror. Using Driver snd-CS4232) in the sound configuration window can be edited as sound card 0. I can set the parameters to what they should be and the test sound plays great. Nothing else will play through the speakers. After a reboot only chirps and scratchy stuff will come out of the speakers even the test sound plays this way. If I go back to the yast sound configuration page and edit using advanced setup all the parameters are correct but I need to highlight them and press set. Then the test sound will play as before, but nothing else plays at all. If I try to set the volume plugin in my gkrellm there is no device available. Using Kmix the tray icon show a red x and has no controls when opened. I have tried other solutions, alsaconf, modprobe,etc. and have had the same results. David

OpenWbem... is this what I need???
by Andy 18 Oct '05

18 Oct '05

Hi to all, I just installed Suse Enterprise 9 and I read in the documentation that there is a web administration interface for managing the server. Is this OpenWbem??? ... if yes then.... HOW Do I use it? I'm trying to make it work somehow, but can't find the "main ideea".I followed http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/feature/14625.html these suggestions, but still don't get the main Ideea. Am I missing something? I saw a screenshot from SLES 8 web interface from a browser, it looked really ok... I want the same in SLES 9. Regards, Andy.

mod_dav_svn not included with SuSE 10?
by Dan Chesmore 18 Oct '05

18 Oct '05

I am unable to find the mod_dav_svn.so file on my newly installed SuSE 10 GE install. I have all things installed for subversion along with almost all things apache2 installed. I am almost wondering if it was somehow missed. Has anyone seen this before or got it to work already.

again/still: Sun W1100z - problem with keyboard and mouse
by Harald Finster 18 Oct '05

18 Oct '05

Hello, unfortunately, I still have the same problem as described in this discussion: http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-amd64/2005-Jul/0040.html Every five seconds the machine seems to 'sleep' for a short moment and does not accept keyboard input and/or mouse movements. Someone suggested to switch ACPI off (boot option acpi=off), but this freezes the boot process. I tried: suse 9.1, suse 9.3 and suse 10.0 Thanks for any hint(s). Greetings Harald -- Dr.-Ing.

9.2 -> 9.3, lost wireless
by Joe Georger 18 Oct '05

18 Oct '05

I finally got around to updating my laptop from 9.2 to 9.3. And now the wireless doesn't work. Everything seems to be okay, but it won't get an address if in dhcp. Will let me set a static ip, but won't even ping the router. I did an online update via wire last night, no joy. This is a built in wireless b in a 2 yr old toshiba laptop. It's been working in 9.1 and 9.2. Shows up as an Intersil Prism or something like that. Can anyone give me some troubleshooting ideas? Thanks, Joe

SuSE 10 and the mystery of the vanishing CPU cycles
by Jonathan Brooks 17 Oct '05

17 Oct '05

Hi, Just installed SuSE10 on an AMD64 (hence cross posting). I prefer Gnome and have been running with that for a few days, and have noticed a pretty serious problem. For no apparent reason the CPU utilization will go to 100% after I've been using the machine normally. If I look with top there are 3 candidate processes for hogging the CPU: gnome-settings, gnome-panel and nautilus. Looking around on the net, the nearest thing I can find is a bug with gnome-vfs (in Gnome 2.8) that caused similar problems and seemed to be related to nfs mounted home directories (which mine are). Has anyone else seen this behaviour - other weird slow-downs? Anyone got any ideas on how to fix this? I saw a suggestion for deleting .gconf and .gconfd - but that has not fixed the problem for me. Best wishes, Jon.

apache+php 64 calling elf32 exe

Hi all, I am new here; I have found that if I call an ELF32 Executable program from a php page loaded by a 64 bit PHP module then I obtain a shared library error, even if the program does not require the library. practical example: compile this ====== pro.c #include <stdio.h> main() { printf("Hello world\n"); } ------ cc -o pro -m32 pro.c then call it from a php page: ========= r.phtml <?php $s = "/tmp/pro 2>/tmp/er 1>&2"; echo "$s : "; $rrr=exec($s); echo `cat /tmp/er`; echo "<hr>"; // just to test that it works... $s = "ls -al /tmp 2>/tmp/er 1>&2"; echo "$s : "; $rrr=exec($s); echo `cat /tmp/er`; ?> ---- http://localhost/r,phtml issuee? Error?Bug? my fault??? Hints? I cannot recompile at 64 all my programs ... Thanks, regards, Ric

Sata Raid Controller for 64 bit?
by Andy 17 Oct '05

17 Oct '05

Hi to all, We have a Fujitsu Siemens Econel 200 Server. 2x Intel Xeon 2.8, 2x SATA HDD. Suse 9.1 64 Prof is installed. At the moment we are using a software raid, but we want to buy 2 more HDD's and implement a 0+1 or 1+0 RAID. I looked over and over about raid controllers, have found from 120 EURO's to 1000 EURO's but there seems to be a little problematic the Suse 64 driver. A very convenient driver would be the Promise FastTrack S150 TX4 or SX4 controller but I still don't know if the drivers are quite functional. The tx4 seems faster as the sx4 but has no 64 driver. We had in the past some problems with hardware raid controller on suse. Does anyone uses some good raid controllers and could give me some informations? Regards, Andy.

system completely freezes

Hi, I installed Suse 10.RC1 on an amilo 1630V laptop for a couple of weeks ago and since then my system randomly freezes (aprox once a day). I now installed release 10 from scratch (no update) and I still get the same behaviour. Nothing "strange" is written in /var/log/messages. Does somebody have some ideas on the reasons for this or on how to track down the reasons ? The system really freezes, it is not just the display. Regards Michele

strategy for gigabyte dual nic board in 9.3
by mark pryor 14 Oct '05

14 Oct '05

hello, SuSE 9.3 x86_64 system: Gigabyte ga-k8n ultra-9 Asus 6800 EN Nvidia pci-x video 1 GB Ocz 2-3-2-5 RAM hd: WD 2500JD SATA (JBOD nv_sata_0) I'm having trouble setting up the two LAN devices in Yast network devices. In the manual, it shows the LAN1 (Marvel) as connected to the (faster) pci-x bus. I only want to connect a single cable at this time. When I configure both devices, the system rolls over: I lose SAMBA and bootup behavior is inconsistent. If you are going to setup both devices, what setting do you give "device activation" in the "detailed network settings" window? I tried hotplug for both (bad), "at boot" for LAN1 and hotplug for LAN2 (bad). I finally decided to disable LAN2 in the bios and delete it in Yast Network devices. Then LAN1 is set to activate at boot. This solution (to disable LAN2) seems extreme. I'm guessing I ran into trouble since at one point I gave both devices the same settings. If I tried to change them something wouldn't reset. This is the first board I've setup with dual onboard LAN -- what a head-ache. thanks for your comments, Mark Pryor (the one with no political ambitions) __________________________________ Yahoo!

OSS emulation and other problems with 9.3
by Constantine 'Gus' Fantanas 14 Oct '05

14 Oct '05

Hi, I've been trying to get rid of the arts server. In order to run the ALSA-agnostic skype (closed 32-bit binary), I created the following wrapper script, which I named 'osswrap': # File ~/osswrap export LD_PRELOAD=$LD_PRELOAD:/usr/lib/libaoss.so exec $@ [ NOTE: The second command is VERY important. If I include the first line in, say, '/etc/profile.local', the shells do weird things, as if the $LD-PRELOAD variable takes control of everything. I am speaking from memory here. So, I decided to go with the script. The 'exec' command basically starts a new shell with the new $LD_PRELOAD.] I try to invoke skype with './osswrap skype'. It almost runs --almost, but not quite. For a couple of seconds the sound is fine but then it goes quiet and I get the following errors: volume_adjust: SOUND_MIXER_WRITE_IGAIN failed: Invalid argument read error, res = -1 , handle = 39 read error, res = -1 , handle = 48 I run all this on a Compaq Presario R3240 laptop (AMD64-based, of course), with an nVidia chipset and nVidia graphics card (the latter is probably irrelevant here). My ~/.asoundrc file is as follows: pcm.dsp0 { type plug slave.pcm "dmix" } pcm.dsp { type plug slave.pcm "dmix" } pcm.dsp-1 { type plug slave.pcm "dmix" } pcm.dsp1 { type plug slave.pcm "dmix" } pcm.dsp2 { type plug slave.pcm "dmix" } ctl.mixer0 { type hw card 0 } (I know I may have too many devices declared, but this is what I ended up with after many iterations. Probably most of these devices are useless.) The reason I am trying to get away from arts is that artsdsp seems to be inordinately slow after I installed several cryptography-related modules via YAST (actually booting into KDE seems to have slowed down, too). I am not sure if these newly-installed programs are the culprit; I did try to remove the modules 'cryptoloop' and 'twofish' (which did not get loaded before), but that did not improve things. If I run skype "straight," that is, just invoking it via 'skype', it runs alright, BUT it monopolizes the sound card. I am running 9.3. Could there be something wrong with the oss emulation library? TIA CF

I would like to upgrade from 9.2 to 10.0. With the 9.2 I had to purchase driverloader from linuxant. Does anyone know if Novell and 10.0 has a 64bit driver for the built in broadcom BCM4306/BCM2050 builtin wireless adapter? I have a HP pavillion laptop with a AMD64 Athlon. David

Headless initial booting
by Pierre Patino 13 Oct '05

13 Oct '05

Hello everyone I'm looking into the possibility of building a headless amd64 box. Said box would have its own hard disk and communicate to the outside world via Ethernet. Question: How would I configure it initially? Could it boot off a windows box the first time and then suck up an entire image from the windows system, format the hard drive and put the image there for future booting? Has anybody attempted this? Cheers

I haven't had a chance to dig around yet (it's only been up a couple of days). So, I'm going to hazard a guess about a driver (or drivers) being an issue. Specualtion: it might be the driver for the ATI X300 since what I'm experiencing is gui related. I've seen complaints about the newer ATI cards/chipsets and Linux on various lists. I'll have a chance to check it out tonight. If it turns out to be the ATI, this'll be the first and last thing I buy with an ATI if it isn't easily fixed. John

Trouble installing SLES 9 on Tyan 2895
by Ricardo R Palma 13 Oct '05

13 Oct '05

Hello, We're trying to configure a K8WE / 2895, SCSI version, to run SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 in 32 bits (not 64). 1. First thing we did was upgrade the BIOS to 1.01 and configure BIOS so that OS=Linux; also disable both MAC bridges. 2. Then installed SLES 9 with no problem (however, SATA drives are seen as hde and hdg --funny, no SCSI installed for now) 3. Installed latest nvidia drivers for the chipset from nvidia's site; reconfigured network cards to use nvnet. 4. Then installed application software (specifically IBM WebSphere, since this is a development workstation, and WebSphere is supported on SLES 9). 5. Eveything is fine for a few days, computer is always on, but after a while, the system will just hang. Nothing can be done; only course of action is to turn off machine (data lost!!) Apparently this happens when there is a lot of network traffic (as when downloading large files). So we figured we might want to upgrade the BIOS. We installed 1.01T (beta). Problem with this approach is that SLES sees all memory, but only one CPU. We're quickly approaching our deadlines; other WS on the team (all Tyans 2875) work w/o a problem. Any suggestions? Thanks for your help! -- Ricardo R Palma <rrpalma(a)synopsis.ws> Synopsis SA

java quiz
by Mike Roy 13 Oct '05

13 Oct '05

Hello everyone: I'm using a sevice called Lavalife to find my next true love. One of Lavalife's features is an online chat program using java. On my laptop I have both Windows XP Home and SuSE 9.3 (64-bit mode). Recently I downloaded java 5.0 (I think) and successfully installed it under windows so the chat program works properly. However, under Linux, I can't see the text I'm typing until I hit the 'enter' key. There are some small marks in the 'text box' but nothing readable appears until it goes into the chat window. I went to java.com and downloaded: jre-1_5_0_02-linux-amd64-rpm.bin I followed the install instructions and everything seemed to work OK. When I tried to 'confirm' the install from the java.com site (verify installation), it did find my java runtime environment but said it wasn't the latest flavor. It was, however, the latest flavor in the Linux lineup. Even with java installed, the invisible text problem still exists. Did I do something or not do something? Any help greatly appreciated. Cheers, Mike

"Stretched" output from Acrobat Reader
by Constantine 'Gus' Fantanas 11 Oct '05

11 Oct '05

Hello everybody. On my Compaq Presario 3240 laptop (which has a wide screen), Acrobat images appear stretched along the horizontal (wide) axis of the screen (wrong aspect ratio). I do NOT see this problem with any other graphics output; the aspect ratio of the icons on the desktop is fine, etc., EXCEPT when I view an image in Acrobat Reader. Although I am not absolutely certain, I think this started happening after I updated Acrobat Reader through YOU recently. Any suggestions? TIA. CF

RE: [suse-amd64] overclocking corrupted reiserfs on nForce4 board
by Black, Alain 10 Oct '05

10 Oct '05

Mark, That seems odd. Which of the 2 SATA controllers are you using? One of them is affected by the over clocking of the system, and the other is not. I don't recall off the top of my head which controller, but it was ports 3 and 4 on the MSI NEO-2 Platinum mother board. I had my AMD64 3200+ (single core, 2.0 GHz) over clocked to 2.7GHz running the stock PIB heat sink/fan and it was very stable under 9.3. At 2.7GHz encoding my CDs and a number of other apps where faster when on the CPU, obviously the disk reads/write were the same speed as my hard drive didn't change. I was running 2 WD 2500JD's in a software RAID 0 configuration. So the I/O speed was very acceptable for anything I was doing on the desktop. -Alain P.S.

Regarding AMD64 and 3d.
by Richard Svendsen 09 Oct '05

09 Oct '05

Hi. I'm pretty new with suse and linux. It was easy to setup Suse 10.0, but I have some problems with 3d support with my Radeon 9800 XT card. (I have the Abit KV8 MAX3 motherboard) I have downloaded the ATI driver (ati-driver-installer-8.16.20-x86_64.run) and did run the fglrxconfig, and got a new xorg.conf file but It did not give me 3d or high resolution that I wanted. I managed to insert some new modelines to get the resulotion that I wanted, but I have not found any way to enable 3D support. I have attached the xorg.conf file that I run now, and the xorg.conf file that I got from the fglrxconfig program/script. Hope there is anyone that have some clue what I have done wrong and or have a xorg.conf file that I might "borrow" :-D Thanx in advance..

The most common question about suse versions
by Karaoulis Marios 07 Oct '05

07 Oct '05

Hi all, I am a little confused. Suse now offers a lot of versions? First, what is the GM version? Version without adobe flash etc?. Why is then 1gb Less than normal edition? In website says that Internet Installation If you choose this installation type, you download a small boot medium to start the installation from and the YaST installer does the rest for you. This method also has several advantages. ... * The Internet installation source contains all packaged software for SUSE Linux Which are the missing packages? Is there anyway to download all packages for an offline installation? The version which is on stores (and costs 50 euros, and i guess about 7-8 GB), what more does it contain than the free versions? Thanks...... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

Brother dcp-110c all in one printer
by jerry bookter 07 Oct '05

07 Oct '05

Well, after much pulling of beard and gnashing of teeth, I'm unable to get my new Brother dcp-110c to work with 9.3. It's a shame too because hardware-wise it seems to be a great printer. Their web page has downloadable drivers for it: http://solutions.brother.com/linux/sol/printer/linux/lpr_install.html cupswrapperDCP110C-1.0.0-1.i386.rpm DCP110Clpr-1.0.2-1.i386.rpm But even after jumping through more flaming hoops than a circus poodle on crack I still can't get it to work. I'm about ready to take it back to the store. Is this thing supported by 10.0 out of the box? If not I'm taking it back. Nice printer, but still....

OpenLDAP: Proxychache bug
by Markus Mayer 06 Oct '05

06 Oct '05

Hello, We discovered a bug in SuSE's OpenLDAP RPM (openldap2-2.2.24-4.5). The previous version (openldap2-2.2.6-37.38) was fine. The bug is that the overlay proxycache is not working, the errors logged to /var/log/messages look like this: Oct 5 12:36:03 node6 slapd[5924]: @(#) $OpenLDAP: slapd 2.2.24 (May 31 2005 14:48:12) $ abuild@nielsen:/usr/src/packages/BUILD/openldap-2.2.24/servers/slapd Oct 5 12:36:46 node6 slapd[5984]: @(#) $OpenLDAP: slapd 2.2.24 (May 31 2005 14:48:12) $ abuild@nielsen:/usr/src/packages/BUILD/openldap-2.2.24/servers/slapd Oct 5 12:36:46 node6 slapd[5984]: overlay proxycache not found Oct 5 12:36:46 node6 slapd[5984]: slapd stopped. Oct 5 12:36:46 node6 slapd[5984]: connections_destroy: nothing to destroy. As it turns out, the 'configure' script in the source tar-ball (from the source RPM) had the proxycache option changed: it used to be called --with-proxycache in previous releases, now it's called --enable-proxycache. The SPEC file for the RPM was not updated accordingly (still using --with-proxycache), hence the slapd provided in Service Pack 2 does not have proxycache support compiled in. The fix to this problem is attached. After rebuilding the RPM myself with the change in place, everything was working again as expected. -Markus -- Markus Mayer Linux Team Cray Canada Inc. --- openldap2.spec~ 2005-05-31 07:42:22.000000000 -0700 +++ openldap2.spec 2005-10-05 16:22:38.217690964 -0700 @@ -143,7 +143,7 @@ --enable-slp \ --enable-lmpasswd \ --with-dyngroup \ - --with-proxycache + --enable-proxycache make depend make # calculate the base port to use in the test-suite

how to build 32bit perl modules
by mark pryor 06 Oct '05

06 Oct '05

hello, I recently tried to build the perl-Crypt-Rijndael for my x86_64 SuSE 9.3. The source was downloaded from CPAN and I tried to use Perl's Makefile.PL Almost half of the tests fail and only a forced install was allowed -- IOW a CPAN install will fail. However the source builds perfectly in the i586 arch. on my laptop. Is there a way to tell Perl to build and run it as 32Bit? Sorry if this is OT, but my instinct tells me that someone at SuSE has already thought/implemented this. regards, tlviewer __________________________________ Yahoo!

tyan k8e and amd dual-core 4400: suse 93 system locks up
by fabrice piccini 05 Oct '05

05 Oct '05

hi list, I'm experiencing strange problem. My system freezes at random intervals, generally after 15 to 30 min of heavy workload (for instance massive ftp transfer on LAN, or use of Xdvdshrink tools). What I've noticed when trouble occurs, is that the daemon kacpid start to run at 99% of one CPU/core, while the other CPU is still busy to the original task it was assigned to...When this occurs, I still can move the mouse to the graphic env. but within a minute delay the box totally hangs, and reset is the only solution... Nothing written in logs after reset! Anybody has clues, pointers, explanation ? My config: TYAN K8E, bios 2.01 AMD 4400 X2 dual-core 2 corsair 512MB 2-2-2-5 dimms in dual mode (memtest86+ says 2250MB/sec, no error) 3 SATA drives: WDC Raptor 36G (sata1), WDC 80G 7200 rpm on sata 2 and 3 with linux softraid 0 (thru evms) 1 dvd writer pioneer 110 on pata 1 master ethernet active on Broadcom chip (can't configure Nvidia eth with forcedeth driver) suse 9.3 with 2.6.11.4-21.9 smp kernel many thanks in advance, fabrice

HTH & all that .... The powernow-k8 message about the change pending bit is a known bug. We're still investigating. Random lockups are a new thing. My immediate suspicion is that its related to the ATI x700 chipset, which has problems on Linux prior to 2.6.13 or so. Updating to the latest mainline kernel may or may not help. -Mark Langsdorf AMD, Inc.

no way to root connection from KDM after upgrade KDE 3.4 on SuSE 9.2 AMD64 <SOLVED>
by patheve2 04 Oct '05

04 Oct '05

Hello I recognise that my previous mail should be sent to the KDE topic. But the problem is not on a laptop with SuSE 9.3 and KDE 3.4.0. That's why I thought it was only for KDE 3.4.x AMD64. I could solve the problem of no root connection with KDM of KDE 3.4.2 as update of KDE 3.3 of SuSE 9.2. This is not in fact a problem. This is for security. But there is no other user of my laptop. So sometimes it can be useful to connect under root login. And I discovered that with "sux - root", I can't launch X11 softwares. So, a good reason to be able to establish a root connection ... - For root connection : the file kdmrc to be modified is in /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm Set "AllowRootLogin=true" instead of false. Achtung : not the kdmrc in /opt/kde3/share/config/kdm ! - For background of login bannier : with Kcontrol this background can be modified after KDE root connection .... but no effect :-( ! In fact, the right file to be modified is backgroundrc in /opt/kde3/share/config/kdm ! This implies to edit the file. Regards Pascal

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

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 ?

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

black background of dialog boxes in based GTK softwares (The Gimp, aMule)
by patheve2 02 Oct '05

02 Oct '05

Hello again My previous mail is about upgrade of KDE. I did an upgrade of Gnome too. One of the aims of these upgrades was to solve the problem with Gimp coming from SuSE 9.2 AMD64 installed as upgrade of SuSE 9.1 AMD64. The Gimp was unstable. I tried several version for SuSE 9.2 : no way to solve problem. With upgrade of KDE and Gnome, now The Gimp works fine .... but under KDE (not under FVWM) the background of dialog boxes is black ! I can't see the text, except when mouse cursor is on a menu option. Same behaviour for aMule 2.0.2. An idea of how to solve this problem ? Kind regards Pascal

no way to root connection from KDM after upgrade KDE 3.4 on SuSE 9.2 AMD64
by patheve2 02 Oct '05

02 Oct '05

Hello all ! I was very happy after upgrading KDE 3.3 into KDE3.4 with Yast on my SuSE 9.2 Pro AMD64. But no longer when I wanted to establish a root connection from KDM : the message when i type "root" in login window with its password is that it is not possible ! Surprising ! Well, I tried to modify manually or with Yast/"editor of sysconfig" but no improvement :-( With xdm, I can connect under root but this is a fvwm session instead of KDE. What do I have to do ? Kind regards Pascal PS : Hereafter the file /etc/sysconfig/displaymager : ## Path: Desktop/Display manager ## Description: ## Type: string(kdm,xdm,gdm,wdm,console) ## Default: "" # # Here you can set the default Display manager (kdm/xdm/gdm/wdm/console). # all changes in this file require a restart of the displaymanager # DISPLAYMANAGER="kdm" ## Type: yesno ## Default: no # # Allow remote access to your display manager (xdm/kdm).
