I once installed an Oracle database that did a similar thing. Immediatly after booting the memory was almost 100% used - but after a shutdown of the Oracle database the values dropped back to the normal ones, like the ones you have on the second server. Alex

SuSE 9.2 printer HP LaserJet 1200 series
by Simeon Nifos 28 Mar '05

28 Mar '05

Dear List, My printer the one I describe above, Works fine in 9.2 when it is printing a .ps or .pdf without pictures. When it finds a page which has more than one picture it needs 2minutes per page. That problem existed also in 9.1 not only with pictures but for text as well! SuSE 9.0 didn't have such problems with that printer! I tried to use the ppd file /HP/Laserjet_1200-Postscript.ppd.gz which is the recommended for SuSE 9.0 where printing (text, pictures) works fine, instead of the recommended under SuSE 9.2 which is the /HP/Laserjet_1200-pxlmono.ppd.gz but the performance of picture-printing didn't change! Can somebody tell me what is wrong here? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

SuSE 9.2 find nfs searching all the time
by Simeon Nifos 28 Mar '05

28 Mar '05

Dear list, Since SuSE 9.0 a very annoying feature has been added! It may be useful for everything else than desktops out of networks and stuff like that! This is find -fstype nfs ... While I am working and do some performance measurements some daemon or something else I do not know what activates the #find -fstype nfs and something else! I do not remember the exact syntax because I do not have that laptop with me at the moment but believe me it is very annoying becuase it happens all the time! Could anybody let me know how I could shut it off once and forall? Thanks in advance! Simeon! __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

capturing stack dump
by James D. Parra 28 Mar '05

28 Mar '05

Hello, Running Suse 9.1 64 bit on Dual Opterons with 8 gigs of ram. We are getting a stack dump to the terminal during boot-up and we want to find a dump file or make the dump write to disk for later inspection. We can boot the server with less ram so we are able to get a dump file if one were to exist. The goal is to try to determine if the memory is bad (replaced the dimms, so it doesn't appear to be memory) or if one of the CPU's is *bad* and only becomes apparent when interacting with the extra memory. Any advice as to how to create and find stack dump file is most welcome. Thank you, James

SUSE 9.3, AMD64 +intel ipw2200 wireless
by Len Zaifman 28 Mar '05

28 Mar '05

I have a Eurocom/Clevo D470K athlon64 laptop with ipw2200 wireless builtin. I am running the latest Suse 9.2 Pro + IPW drivers available by YOU the card is detected at boot time and the kernel modules are loaded in lsmod | grep ipw ipw2200 120084 0 firmware_class 11264 1 ipw2200 ieee80211 32484 1 ipw2200 ifconfig eth0 eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:00:00:00:00 inet addr:192.168.10.33 Bcast:192.168.10.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 using my pcmcia 802.11b card i can connect to wireless networks without issue. However, I cannot get the builtin ipw2200 to connect to the network. How do I find out if the upcoming 9.3 release will support the intel ipw2200 under the amd64 architecture? I have a spare partition I can load a recent 9.3 snapshot, if such is available for testing?

nvidia driver don't work for me
by tony s 27 Mar '05

27 Mar '05

Hello sorry if this is a repeat post, my previous podt did not do thru ! I have a HP zv5000 laptop with WUXGA (1920x1200 - GeForce 440 Go 64) LCD display. My problem is that I cannot get the latest nvidia drivers to work. After installing the driver, vertical lines appear on the screen :-( . Even old drivers don't work. I'm using SUSE9.1 64 version(AMD64). Have tried with FC3 also, still no luck. I have followed all the steps mention in various forums on the net, but the dam drivers don't work. I'm now wondering if the nvidia drivers support WUXGA ? Did anybody on this forum have any such problem ? -t

Weird Firefox behavior after YAST update on 9.2/64
by jerry bookter 23 Mar '05

23 Mar '05

Hi Folks I ran YAST a few minutes ago and grabbed the latest update to Firefox (1.0.1-9.1). However, when I went to the 'Help --> About' menu to confirm the new version was installed, I got the following error message XML Parsing Error: undefined entity Location: chrome://browser/content/aboutDialog.xul Line Number 19, Column 16: title="&aboutDialog.title;" creditslabel="&copyright;" aboutlabel="&aboutLink;" ---------------^ Anyone else experiencing this? Firefox appears to work otherwise, but I haven't really put it through its paces yet either. TIA....
