sound problems with suse 10.0
by don leslie 27 Nov '05

27 Nov '05

I have a Compaq r3240 laptop and have installed SuSE 10.0 . I can configure sound with Yast and alsaconf . If I do a sound test it works fine. Other programs do not seem to think that sound is configured . kamix gives : Did not find any soundcard. xine gives: ALSA lib confmisc.c:672:(snd_func_card_driver) cannot find card '0' ALSA lib conf.c:3493:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_card_driver returned error: No such device ALSA lib confmisc.c:392:(snd_func_concat) error evaluating strings ALSA lib conf.c:3493:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_concat returned error: No such device ALSA lib confmisc.c:955:(snd_func_refer) error evaluating name ALSA lib conf.c:3493:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_refer returned error: No such device What do I need to do to use sound ?

can MTRR mapping cause system lockups?
by John Craig 26 Nov '05

26 Nov '05

Hi, I have a dual Opteron File server with 4GB ram, and just "upgraded" to SLES9 x86-64 (was previously running SUSE 9.3 x86-64 without problem). The system keeps crashing, and I am starting to suspect mtrr. Some other posts on the subject indicate that mtrr is used to remap the memory that is hidden by the PCI bus to a region above the existing physical memory, so it can be accessible. The system on boot always reports something like this: mtrr: 0xfd000000,0x800000 overlaps existing 0xfd000000,0x400000 mtrr: 0xfd000000,0x800000 overlaps existing 0xfd000000,0x400000 And after running a while it suddently locks up, requiring a cold start. Something else that I thought funny is that there are 2 PCI -X cards in it that work fine but attempting to put in another (an Intel dual GigE card) prevents the system from booting or even passing POST (even with the other cards removed). The same card works in another dual Opteron machine (different mother board) running SLES9 without problem. So, if erroneous memory mapping by mtrr is causing the lockups, how can I remap or disable memory mapping? Thanks for any clues

No 32 bit OpenSLP rpm for SLES for AMD64
by C Preethi 25 Nov '05

25 Nov '05

Hi, I have a query about OpenSLP which is being shipped with SLES9 64 bit(for AMD64). In a SLES9 64bit OS, I see that only 64bit OpenSLP rpms are present and no 32 bit OpenSLP libraries are installed ( The CD also doesnt seem to have the 32 bit openslp rpm). As a result 32 bit applications are not able to use the 64 bit OpenSLP library. However, other packages like openldap, openssl etc., have both 64bit and 32 bit rpms and only openslp seems to be an exception. Is this an intentional decision of not making it available for 32 bit applications? Could you please clarify? Thanks, Preethi

opensuse vs SLES on quad opteron
by Clemens von Pereira 24 Nov '05

24 Nov '05

Hi Folks, Does anyone know details which Suse will perform better on this kind of hardware? (CPU & RAM - not so much disk IO) Does opensuse 10.0 AMD64 default Kernel support 32 GB and 4 CPUs out of the box? I read that SLEs supports 512 CPUs on Itanium but this "technical" document manages to miss all other important details (http://www.novell.com/products/linuxenterpriseserver/features.html) . I would like to avoid recompiling Kernels after each online update. Is that MegaRaid320-1 supported by both? Thanks much CPU: Quad AMD Opteron 854 (2.8 GHz, 1MB L2 Cache) RAM: 32GB (16 x 2GB) DDR400 Registered ECC PCI-X (133MHz) 1: LSI MegaRAID SCSI 320-1 - 1 Channel U320 RAID 64MB CACHE 2 x 10KRPM SCSI RAID1 --------------------------------- Yahoo!

Asus AMD64 Laptop and SuSE Linux 10
by Daniel Latshaw 23 Nov '05

23 Nov '05

Greetings List, Sorry if this is not the correct list for these questions, but the laptop list is Deutsch and i do not read Deutsch. Besides, the problems i have may be more related to the 64 bit architecture than being a laptop. Here is my Hardware: Asus Z8100 Laptop 15.4 LCD 1GB RAM AMD Athlon Mobile 3400 DVD Burner/CD Burner I installed suse 10 from the DVD. I can not get my SMC 54G (#SMC2835W) to communicate via tcp/ip. It can "see" the wireless router, if i do an iwlist scanning it shows my network information (and some of my neighbors!) But it will not obtain an ip address from dhcp nor will it work if i assign one staticly. lsmod shows the prism54 module is loaded. i have the isl3860 in /lib/firmware (both from YOU update and my prism54.org archive) The card works under fedora core 3 and knoppix. The pcmcia slot and software is working, as my Cisco Aironet card works flawlessly. On my wife's laptop, i am having the same problem with XG-600 mini pci card. I have swapped that out for an intel mini pci and that works fine. Does anyone know why the prism54 is broken in suse 10? Thanks in advance, and let me know if there is another list i should use. Cheers, -- Daniel H. Latshaw Pitbull Solutions, LLC.

10.0 freebie firewall VNC question
by bob sandefur 23 Nov '05

23 Nov '05

My wife just paid $60 for the not free version of 10 so this question may be moot. I have to run windows at work and sometimes cygwin gawk runs out of memory so I use suse 9.0 thru 9.3 commercial 64 via VNC for memory hogs. However, I can't get to 10.0 freebie via VNC unless I run as root and turn off firewall. Questions: Why is vnc firewalled out on freebie How do I allow just vns to get thru firewall? ( A quick google didn't give an obvious answer. Thanx Robert (Bob) L.

serial vanish
by Roy F. cabaniss 23 Nov '05

23 Nov '05

I was using Suse 9.2 and every version until now this worked ok. but I just upgraded to 10.0. Serial sync on a palm pilot using /dev/ttyS0 or /dev/ttyS1 always worked. Now those devices evidently no longer exist. So what happened to the serial? And (more importantly, how can I continue to use my ever faithful palm pilot.?) Roy F. Cabaniss

Hi- I downloaded the 5 free iso images of 10.0 and installed on a HP L2000 mt37 with no problems. However fortran is missing and YAST finds Nothing. Any suggestions? Thanx Robert (Bob) L.

[suse-amd64] - Segfaults in ld, grep
by Jan Zahradník 23 Nov '05

23 Nov '05

Hello all, we have a new server - 2xOpteron 246, motherboard MSI-K8D Master-133 (chipset AMD8131) and 2GB ECC dual-channel memories Kingston, used fs is XFS. I installed SUSE LINUX 10.0 (X86-64). During compilation of large projects (for example linux kernel) and sometimes during system boot following messages in syslog appear (and compilation stops): Oct 14 10:00:32 linux kernel: ld[7703]: segfault at 0000000000000000 rip 00002aaaaaaae05c rsp 00007fffffc90170 error 4 Oct 14 15:01:43 linux kernel: grep[32266]: segfault at 0000000000000000 rip 00002aaaaaaae05c rsp 00007fffffa66800 error 4 Oct 14 15:01:44 linux kernel: grep[32355]: segfault at 0000000000000000 rip 00002aaaaaaae05c rsp 00007fffff958720 error 4 Oct 14 15:01:44 linux kernel: grep[32395]: segfault at 0000000000000000 rip 00002aaaaaaae05c rsp 00007fffffcd2600 error 4 Oct 14 15:01:44 linux kernel: grep[32458]: segfault at 0000000000000000 rip 00002aaaaaaae05c rsp 00007fffffed3e10 error 4 Nov 15 15:44:53 cedr kernel: ld[19959]: segfault at 0000000000000000 rip 00002aaaaaaae05c rsp 00007fffff807c90 error 4 Nov 15 15:45:50 cedr kernel: ld[21868]: segfault at 0000000000000000 rip 00002aaaaaaae05c rsp 00007fffffd78a80 error 4 All addresses are the same - 00002aaaaaaae05c. In /proc/self/maps these address belongs to /lib64/ld-2.3.5.so I tried check integrity of installed grep, binutils, gcc and glibc - all were valid. I tried to add/remove/change/move memory modules, running memtest, altering different BIOS settings (including load defaults), but the same messages always appear. When I tried to boot kernel with maxcpus=1 everything was ok. Now I installed SUSE LINUX 10.0 (i386) and running the same compilation - no errors appear. On this systen I tried to run x86_64 kernel (with all these i386 32-bit programs and libraries) and everything works also ok. Do you have any ideas, why programs don't run reliable on our computer under x86_64-smp? Is it possible, that problem can be in suse 10.0 bundled glibc-2.3.5 for x86_64?
