http://benjamin.smedbergs.us/blog/2005-10-27/gcc-40-workaround/ The workaround works for Firefox. Thunderbird runs but I can't share the profile with Windows so it is a show stopper for me.

Re: [SLE] NFS in V 10 and Apple OS
by Jonathan Brooks 07 Nov '05

07 Nov '05

Hi, I'm also having a few problems with NFS on SuSE 10. I am trying to mount resources from a SLES 9 machine, presumably set up for nfsvers 3??? Each boot time, I get the error message that the "server reports TCP unavailable, resorting to UDP". I also occasionally see error messages to the effect of "server reports nfsvers 4 not available, switching to version 3". All in all, it means that each time I reboot my SuSE 10 machine, I have to log in as root and issue the command: mount -vat nfs, and more often than not this will pick up the nfs drives that aren't being mounted at boot time. FYI, here's the lines from /etc/fstab: 163.1.82.28:/home /home nfs rsize=8192,wsize=8192,intr,bg,nfsvers=3 0 0 163.1.82.28:/home1 /home1 nfs rsize=8192,wsize=8192,intr,bg,nfsvers=3 0 0 163.1.82.28:/home2 /home2 nfs rsize=8192,wsize=8192,intr,bg,nfsvers=3 0 0 What are the implications of using UDP and nfsvers=2 on security/performance etc.???? Anyone know what's going on? I have another AMD64 machine (SuSE 9.3), which has exactly the same problem. Best wishes, Jon.

Shockwave flash + Suse 10.0
by Dimitar Georgiev Popov 06 Nov '05

06 Nov '05

Hi, I upgraded my 9.3 to 10.0 and now konqueror does not play shockwave flash files. Konqueror plug-in scan does not find the shockwave flash plug-in, though libflashplayer.so exists in the directories it search. How can resolve this problem? Mitko

ATI fglrx rev. 8.18.8 problem with SuSE 10.0
by Bernd Paysan 06 Nov '05

06 Nov '05

Hi, Just in case someone struggles with the same problem: The ATI proprietary driver won't be able to load its module on top of the kernel that comes with SuSE 10.0. The problem is a conflict between the kernel-embedded DRM, and the ATI DRM. You'll see an error message like that in your /var/log/messages: ... kernel: Trying to register duplicated ioctl32 handler c0246400 ... kernel: [fglrx:firegl_init_32compat_ioctls] *ERROR* unable to register ioctl32 0 ... kernel: [fglrx:firegl_init] *ERROR* Couldn't register compat32 ioctls! The problem goes away if you recompile the kernel with DRM disabled. The easiest way to get there is to simply do the following: cd /usr/src/linux zgrep -v DRM /prog/config.gz >.config make make install -- Bernd Paysan "If you want it done right, you have to do it yourself" http://www.jwdt.com/~paysan/

Re: [suse-amd64] (OT) 64-bit linux
by patheve2 05 Nov '05

Hello Mike My answers : 1/ SuSE 9.0 (still used), SuSE 9.1 (no more use) and SuSE 9.2 (upgrade of 9.1). Before I prefered SuSE 9.0 (kernel 2.4.21 AMD64), now I use the SuSE 9.2 AMD64. Both SuSE are installed on an Asus L5D laptop. 2/ In the package 9.2 : books, 2 DVD (64 and 32 bits) and 5 CD (32 bits). Idem for 9.1. For 9.0, only DVD (64 bits) provided by Transtec AG. 3/ I have beenn running a 64 bits system (this laptop) since July 15th 2004. For my own use. At work, since May/June 2004. I think the SuSE AMD64 is the best one among Fedora Core and Mandrake. No problem for 32 and 64 bits on a SuSE AMD64. Kind regards Pascal ==================================================================== Hello everyone: I'm currently working on a presentation and need your help. Is there anyone running a Linux distribution in 64-bit mode on an AMD 64 machine. Now, I already know about SuSE - what I'm looking for is other, non-SuSE Linux distributions. So, if you're actually running such a system, could you please tell me: 1) which distribution (name and version number e.g.: SuSE v10.0 / 64-bit), and 2) if purchased, what's in the package (e.g.: SuSE 5 CDs, 1 dual-layer DVD [32 & 64 bit] plus a paper manual), and 3) how long you've been running a 64-bit system. You may reply directly to me but, please don't guess. If you've 'only heard' that such a distribution is 64-bit, don't reply. If you're running such a system (other than SuSE), then I'd like to hear from you. Thanks for your help. Cheers, Mike

resmgr problem with /dev/mixer
by Sid Boyce 05 Nov '05

05 Nov '05

I'm seeing this problem on x86_64 SuSE 10.0, SuSE 10.0 x86 is OK and on Mandriva 2006 x86 where one box is OK and the other isn't, When the x86_64 box is booted, sound modules are not loaded, I have to do "rcalsasound restart" as root and change ownership of /dev/mixer from root.audio to <user>.audio. I have put a line in /etc/resmgr.conf add /dev/mixer desktop noacl With that line I still have the problem. On the Mandriva box the sound modules start, but I have to alter the ownership of /dev/mixer. In both cases sound works, but there is no mixer until I change the ownerships of /dev/mixer. /dev/snd/* all have root.audio ownerships and I leave them that way. Just a heads up in case anyone else is seeing this and I shall submit a bug to SuSE and Mandriva (resmgr not used). Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...

(OT) 64-bit Linux - THANKS

Hello everyone: Just a short note to say thank you to all of you who responded to my earlier request about 64-bit machines and Linux. I didn't realize just how many flavors of Linux are running on AMD 64 machines, it was an eye-opener. Again, many thanks. Cheers, Mike
