Hi Mike the answer is : recompile with -fPIC put this option (-fPIC) in every Makefile of this project as a CFLAG . In german you find the docu http://www.pseudonym.org/schauen.html, than look for mjpeg on this page.

I had 3 generations of GeForce fry in exactly the same way within two years of purchase. (Actually the last one was a replacement under warranty for the second). No overclocking was involved with any of them. Three strikes and you're out nVidia! The last card to fry also shafted my monitor, because it started to send out spurious sync pulses while I was away from the PC. By the time I got back, the monitor had gone crazy and wouldn't sync to ANY card. I'm now with ATI, and found their proprietary driver easy to install (easier than nVidia as far as getting any Mesa libs out of sight). I also haven't had any lockups with the ATI drivers, which I quite often got with the nVidia drivers, especially when flipping between X and the console. Only time will tell if ATI is more reliable than nVidia.

SCSI Problem on Tyan S2882 Motherboard
by A N Saravanaraj 17 Mar '05

17 Mar '05

Hello Everybody, I have been running SuSe 9.1 pro (installed all latest updates) for AMD64 on my S2882 motherboard with two opteron processors for a long time (8-months) without any major problem. The system hard drive is an ide drive. I have a promise sx6000 external raid array attached to the on-board SCSI on chanel A and a VXA2 tape drive on chanel B. Last thursday night the machine ran into trouble with the scsi part. The scsi devices were not accessible and the kernel put out the following in the messages file. Feb 26 04:08:35 raid1lac kernel: scsi0: At time of recovery, card was not paused Feb 26 04:08:35 raid1lac kernel: >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Dump Card State Begins <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Feb 26 04:08:35 raid1lac kernel: scsi0: Dumping Card State at program address 0x11 Mode 0x33 Feb 26 04:08:35 raid1lac kernel: Card was paused Feb 26 04:08:35 raid1lac kernel: HS_MAILBOX[0x0] INTCTL[0x80]:(SWTMINTMASK) SEQINTSTAT[0x0] Feb 26 04:08:35 raid1lac kernel: SAVED_MODE[0x11] DFFSTAT[0x33]:(CURRFIFO_NONE|FIFO0FREE|FIFO1FREE) Feb 26 04:08:35 raid1lac kernel: SCSISIGI[0x0]:(P_DATAOUT) SCSIPHASE[0x0] SCSIBUS[0x0] Feb 26 04:08:35 raid1lac kernel: LASTPHASE[0x1]:(P_DATAOUT|P_BUSFREE) SCSISEQ0[0x0] Feb 26 04:08:35 raid1lac kernel: SCSISEQ1[0x12]:(ENAUTOATNP|ENRSELI) SEQCTL0[0x0] SEQINTCTL[0x0] Feb 26 04:08:35 raid1lac kernel: SEQ_FLAGS[0xc0]:(NO_CDB_SENT|NOT_IDENTIFIED) SEQ_FLAGS2[0x0] Feb 26 04:08:35 raid1lac kernel: SSTAT0[0x0] SSTAT1[0x8]:(BUSFREE) SSTAT2[0x0] SSTAT3[0x0] Feb 26 04:08:35 raid1lac kernel: PERRDIAG[0x0] SIMODE1[0xa4]:(ENSCSIPERR|ENSCSIRST|ENSELTIMO) Feb 26 04:08:35 raid1lac kernel: LQISTAT0[0x0] LQISTAT1[0x0] LQISTAT2[0x0] LQOSTAT0[0x0] Feb 26 04:08:35 raid1lac kernel: LQOSTAT1[0x0] LQOSTAT2[0x0] .................. .............. ........ The system works fine after I reboot the computer and the raid array. I am not sure wether the scsi card is going bad or is it the raid array going bad. Could anybody tell me what is exactly happening here or how I should go about figuring our what has went bad. Thank You -Raj

32 or 64 that is the question.
by Vincent Yonemitsu 17 Mar '05

17 Mar '05

Here is the scenario. I currently have a dual opteron 248 system. It is dedicated to run SLOX. When The Netline verion 5 comes out we will be migrgating to redhat 4. I know not suse(my bosses wanted to send me on certification and the suse trraining is too hard to find) so redhat it is. Above my head. Now to move on. Sincec I would assume that OX 5 will only be made available as 32 bit do you think it would be better to run the os in 64 bit moded and run SLOX as a legacy 32 bit app or should I install the 32 bit OS? I don;t know what the installation is going to be lke but I would assume its going to be a big package and it install and configures everything so I doubt I would be able to install postfix...imap.... and so on as seperate 64 bit apps and tie them together.

FireFox Fix
by tree 15 Mar '05

15 Mar '05

Hey all, Found the problem I was having with FireFox. (It crashed on certain w3c verified sites -- Old-Style-Mozilla crash, just disappeared.) I had installed a some miscellaneous fonts from a large font package. Turns out the "Times" font was rewritten by a buggy one. I removed the appropriate "times" entries from fonts.dir/fonts.scale and removed the offending font. Then, I reinstalled the normal SuSe fonts and voila -- things work great. So, if your FireFox is diving by zero and crashing nasty, you might try this.

Athlon 64 revision E won't work on some Nforce 3/4 boards
by Janis Klava 14 Mar '05

Athlon 64 revision E won't work on some Nforce 3/4 boards CeBIT 2005 Ouch AMD By Fuad Abazovic in Hannover: Saturday 12 March 2005, 19:27 PROBLEMS APPEAR to be affecting Athlon 64 revision E chips on some Nforce 3 and Nforce 4 motherboards. Symptoms include motherboard shut down and failure to boot, according to reports here from CeBIT. Revision E chips from AMD are just released and brings stuff like SSE3 support inside a 90 nanometre die. AMD on the other hand didn't make a big noise about its announcement. We learned that if you have this Athlon and already have Nforce 3 or Nforce 4 board that there is a big chance that you may encounter problems. We are told that AMD changed its thermal regulation protection and that's what makes it incompatible with at least some of the Nforce 3 and Nforce 4 boards out there. http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=21780

This is well over my OS technical depth, not the first time have had this msg, and have never gotten it fixed. Distro is SuSE 9.2 64-bit. Installed clamav-0.83 from rpm commandline and received failed dependency message error: Failed dependencies: libcurl.so.2()(64bit) is needed by clamav-0.83-1.2 I looked through the installation DVD and found no file of this name. clamav 0.82 installed, either without calling out the dependency or --- what?? Any assistance would be welcomed. melissa
