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!

RE: [suse-amd64] apt-get slow as molasses

CF, There have been a few threads on going in the open_suse mailing lists about the 10.0 apt sources. I've got those e-mails at home, so I'd recommend searching the archives for them. -Alain. -----Original Message----- From: Constantine 'Gus' Fantanas [mailto:fantanas@innocent.com] Sent: Friday, October 14, 2005 11:31 AM To: suse-amd64(a)suse.com Subject: [suse-amd64] apt-get slow as molasses Has anybody tried apt-get for 9.3 recently? It seems to me that it has slowed down the past couple of months. The web site for apt-get for SuSE does not even mention the 64-bit 9.3, let alone 10.0.

SuSE 10 and fstab
by Colin Carter 14 Oct '05

14 Oct '05

Hi, I am trying to update from 9.1 to 10 but I get the message "Root is mounted at /dev/hda2 but is listed /dev/hde2" My fstab reads: /dev/hde2 / reiserfs acl,user_xattr 1 1 /dev/hdf2 /data1 auto noauto,user 0 0 /dev/hde1 swap swap pri=42 0 0 /dev/hdf1 swap swap pri=42 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs noauto 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs noauto 0 0 /dev/cdrecorder /media/cdrecorder subfs fs=cdfss,ro,procuid,nosuid,nodev,exec,iocharset=utf8 0 0 /dev/dvdrecorder /media/dvdrecorder subfs fs=cdfss,ro,procuid,nosuid,nodev,exec,iocharset=utf8 0 0 /dev/fd0 /media/floppy subfs fs=floppyfss,procuid,nodev,nosuid,sync 0 0 This is not exactly as I had planned it, nor as 9.0 had it, but upgrade to 9.1 lead to the current setup. SuSE 10 refered my to a portal address but there there was, of course, the usual simple case example which did not relate to the error. Just edit the /hde2 to read /hda2 ? Any suggestions?

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
