apache+php 64 calling elf32 exe
by Riccardo Ghiglianovich 17 Oct '05

17 Oct '05

Hi all, I am new here; I have found that if I call an ELF32 Executable program from a php page loaded by a 64 bit PHP module then I obtain a shared library error, even if the program does not require the library. practical example: compile this ====== pro.c #include <stdio.h> main() { printf("Hello world\n"); } ------ cc -o pro -m32 pro.c then call it from a php page: ========= r.phtml <?php $s = "/tmp/pro 2>/tmp/er 1>&2"; echo "$s : "; $rrr=exec($s); echo `cat /tmp/er`; echo "<hr>"; // just to test that it works... $s = "ls -al /tmp 2>/tmp/er 1>&2"; echo "$s : "; $rrr=exec($s); echo `cat /tmp/er`; ?> ---- http://localhost/r,phtml issuee? Error?Bug? my fault??? Hints? I cannot recompile at 64 all my programs ... Thanks, regards, Ric

by Jack Malone 04 May '05

04 May '05

I'm fixing to put together a system for suse linux to run on from the 64 amd cpu. I'm looking at asus, abit, gigabyte, an msi motherboards. asus K8V-SE Deluxe K8T800 or K8N-E DELUXE abit KV8PRO K8T800 Pro gigabyte GA-K8NSPRO msi MSI K8N NEO Platinum I will put in 1 gig of ram on any of these systems. I have used asus boards in the past but am willing to try another one this time around. These are the models that one of our parts sources has in stock at the moment. If there is another one out there that you would recommend I would look at it also. If you using one of these does all the on board components work, sound lan ect with suse. I will be putting suse 9.3 on the machine. thanks

9.3 with 8GB ram
by Mark Horton 30 Apr '05

30 Apr '05

I just received 9.3 today and installed it on my workstation. I had to add 'mem=2000m' to the kernel boot options get it to boot up after the install. Is this a known problem? Here are some hardware details: tyan S2885 motherboard 2 opteron 248 cpus 8GB ram nvidia 6800 video card lsilogic megaraid pci-x card I'm also getting the following during bootup. The megaraid_mm and megaraid_mbox modules are loaded and the raid array seems to be operating ok. Although it seems quite a bit slower. kobject_register failed for megaraid (-17) Call Trace:<ffffffff80221ea6>{kobject_register+70} <ffffffff8028db37>{bus_add_driver+103} <ffffffff8022e4de>{pci_register_driver+110} <ffffffff8807a06e>{:megaraid:megaraid_init+110} <ffffffff801525de>{sys_init_module+6542} <ffffffff8016b012>{handle_mm_fault+418} <ffffffff8807a000>{:megaraid:megaraid_init+0} <ffffffff8016eaa6>{do_munmap+918} <ffffffff80336931>{__down_read+49} <ffffffff802243e0>{__up_write+48} <ffffffff8010e9de>{system_call+126} Mark

SuSE 9.3 XMMS compile
by Sudhir Anand 30 Apr '05

30 Apr '05

XMMS was installed from SuSE's dvd and all patches from YOU were applied. Whenever a cd is played, XMMS exits with a segmentation fault. I am now giving up with SuSE XMMS implementation and would like to compile it from source. At the moment, compiling XMMS gives libmikmid, libvorbis and libGL errors. It appears that the scripts cannot link with the right libraries and include files or cannot find them. Can anyone offer any assistance with compiling XMMS on a AMD64 computer? Thanks. Sudhir.

If so, then that is just what I did, that is, I deleted the wireless drivers in /lib/modules and compiled the drivers from source that came from the km_wlan rpm. Did you maybe find some other source for the drivers that worked for you? I ask, because I believe that our USB adapters have the same atmel chipset. My adapter uses the at76c503 (at76c505_rfmd2958 to be more specific) kernel module. Anyway, after the recompile, I still need to hardwire the IP number for the adapter when I am setting it up in the network module in Yast2. But, so far, I've had no lockups and thus no hard reboots needed to fix that. Thanks for all the help, Valur

Hello Thanks for giving this link. I had a look : there is only an update for SuSE 9.0 i586. As my k3b does not work properly, I use now cdbakeoven but this is only for CD, not for DVD. For DVD, I have to boot with SuSE 9.1 Regards Pascal

You could visit http://packman.links2linux.org under Multimedia. He builds a lot of different packages for various suse releases. I know he has a k3b that matches you suse distro, not sure about the kde part though. -----Original Message----- From: patheve2 [mailto:patheve2@tele2.fr] Sent: Thursday, April 28, 2005 6:58 PM To: suse-amd64(a)suse.com Subject: [suse-amd64] k3b and suse 9.0 AMD64 Hello k3b freezes when I try to burn an ISO image.

Printing Issues Galore
by Joel Webb 29 Apr '05

29 Apr '05

We are having major problems with our Athlon 64 system that is being used as a desktop. We are running a Brother printer that is not listed in the drivers list, but has been printed to using the gimp-print driver. (known to work the largest number of printers) Now Brother doesn't "support" linux, but they do provide linux drivers for some of their other printers. Also the printer is similar to our HP laserjet, and it runs flawlessly. It seems most of the issues are coming from printing from OpenOffice, which seems weird. But it gets even weirder. Now looking at the print queue it looks like this: krusty:~ # lpq mfc7820n is ready and printing Rank Owner Job File(s) Total Size active brian 4 (stdin) 6144 bytes 1st brian 5 Untitled1 26624 bytes 2nd brian 6 Job Report - KJobViewer 56320 bytes 3rd brian 7 file:/// 232448 bytes 4th brian 8 file:/// 232448 bytes 5th brian 9 file:/// 232448 bytes But nope, it isn't printing. Any suggestions?? We have removed the printer, and re-added it. Hooked it up directly through USB, and also had it networked as well. While the printer was networked, we could only get one page to be sent to the printer and then the CUPS server said the printer "wasn't ready" any more. Any suggestions?? -- Thanks Again, Joel Webb President and CEO WebbGroup Network Systems L.L.C. Home of: www.TheCreativeInvestor.com www.AllYouCanRent.com www.SellAnyHouseQuick.com 703-778-5755 x101
