tcp_connect problem with SuSE 10
by Constantine 'Gus' Fantanas 16 Feb '06

16 Feb '06

Hello all. When the instant messenger gaimt wants to play a sound, I get the following errors: tcp_connect: can't connect to server (tcp:presario.localnet:1036) unix_connect: can't connect to server (unix:/tmp/ksocketu-gus/presario.localnet-220c-436955fe) Could somebody explain what these error messages mean? The file '/etc/services' indicates that port 1036 is reserved for ntssp (tcp/udp Nebula Secure Segment Transfer Protocol). I admit I am lost. TIA for your time. CF

Same here.

Linux macro recorder or scripting
by bob sandefur 02 Dec '05

02 Dec '05

Hi- On windows I routinely use nmacrorec to record a sequence of mouse moves and clicks to automate tasks like saving a spreadsheet as a csv file. Is there a similar tool for SUSE 10.?

FYI: Online update pkg mod_python breaks Apache2
by Kevin Wilson 30 Nov '05

30 Nov '05

I have only confirmed this on the x86 arch but the 3.1.3-37.6 version of pkg apache2-mod_python will break a installation of apache2 version 2.0.54-7.1. The package causes apache2 to emit the dreaded segmentation fault error... "Apache2 child pid nnnn exit signal Segmentation fault (11)" replacing mod_python's .6 version with the .4 version restores functionality. I do not subscribe to the suse-linux-e list (too many emails) so you'll need to email me directly if you have any questions. I do receive list mail from the amd64 list. Thanks

To ECC or not ECC
by Pierre Patino 30 Nov '05

30 Nov '05

Greetings Several hours of reading the web and I still cannot overcome my density. I'm looking at a Socket 939 motherboard with one single-core Opteron 148. The motherboard supports ECC or non-ECC RAM The BIOS can turn off ECC if the RAM supports it. What is the kernel's involvement with ECC when it's enabled in the BIOS? Just reporting errors? Does ECC RAM incur a performance hit when no errors are detected? TIA & Cheers

motherboard selection comments please
by Lonn 29 Nov '05

29 Nov '05

Hi, I'm looking at some barebones rigs with Athlon64 3400 in the socket A vendor offers Athlon64 3400 on many boards - some easy to weed out. Do all the devices on these boards work well with SUSE? Abit AN8 Ultra nF4 chipset - this board is loaded Abit KN8 Ultra nF4 chipset - about the same as above, but less RAID, and less IEEE1394 MSI K8N NEO4 Platinum - loaded but SATA not 3G, no RAID It bugs me that most boards now offer only 3 PCI slots. Would you suggest a loaded board that doesn't cost an arm and a leg? Especially, do you use one with built in 802.11g? Does that present any limiting issues such as incompatibility with some or many wireless routers? Lonn

RE: [suse-amd64] what frequency should my CPU run at?

Anyone have a motherboard that uses the nForce4 chipset and running under SuSe 9.3? Just want to confirm it's support before purchasing. Thank you, Brad Dameron SeaTab Software www.seatab.com

Akode and KDE 3.5
by Karaoulis Marios 28 Nov '05

28 Nov '05

I saw that from version kde 3.5 and up, akode is no longer part of kdemultimedia. This means than no longer mp3 issues? Just someone install akode from another repository and mp3 is back to the game? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Hi- I had video resolution problems with my Samsung 243T on my dual core system so I tried 10.0 commercial on my K8T Master2-FAR board with and opteron 144. Install goes ok til boot from hard drive and I get: GRUB Loading stage1.5 read error Anyone else running 10.0 on this board? (This is a lousy board as it only recognizes 3.6GB or memory and I have 4GB installed) XP pro and XP-64 install fine on this board. Thanx Robert (Bob) L.
