SuSE 9.3 + OpenOffice + ghostscript -> segfault?
by Bastian Friedrich 18 Apr '05

18 Apr '05

Hi, after installing SuSE 9.3 on my machine on saturday, I'm no longer able to print documents which were generated in OpenOffice 2.0 (beta). During printing, ghostscript segfaults; I get these logs in /var/log/messags: Apr 18 16:26:55 han kernel: gs[14535]: segfault at 000000000000cdf0 rip 000000000062377d rsp 00007fffffffd290 error 4 Printing to file and then printing that file does not work, either: even "gv <myfile.ps>" does not work due to that segfault. I have installed SuSE 9.2's ghostscript RPMs; printing seems to work, but a couple of fonts look really ugly... Oh, an installation on my laptop (32bit) works fine, of course :( My questions: - Is anybody able to print from within OpenOffice on a SuSE 9.3? I.e.: is it just me[tm], or do we have a "real" problem (that should be submitted to SuSE's feedback)? - Can you confirm this problem? - Does anybody have a solution for the problem? A quick "same problem here" or "no problem here" message would be fine :) Thx/Cheers, Bastian -- Bastian Friedrich bastian(a)bastian-friedrich.de Adress & Fon available on my HP http://www.bastian-friedrich.de/ \~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ \ To test a man's character, give him power.

install fails with "/dev/ram2: unknown fs type"
by Rene Salmon 17 Apr '05

17 Apr '05

Hi list, I have a strange problem. I have an IBM e325 server with two opteron chips on it. We installed SUSE 9.1 on this machine with out any problems and it works great. We just purchased SLES 9 and now we are trying to install SLES 9 on the machine but the install fails. The machine boots and starts the install and gets to the point where it start to load the RAM disk with this message on the screen. "Loading data into Ram disk 57950 KB" Then on the console I see this message Loading image "/var/adm/mount/boot/root" /dev/ram2: unknown fs type mount: /dev/ram2: no such device and right after this I get put on the "Main Menu" of the install program and can not continue from here. Any ideas why Suse 9.1 installs with no problems but SLES 9 does not? We are really happy with SuSe 9.1 but we have to switch to SLES 9 in order to get support from IBM. Thank you for any help on this. Rene

Kde3.3 on 9.2
by Yoriaki FUJIMORI 17 Apr '05

17 Apr '05

Dear listers, Sorry for that my question may not be specific to AMD64. Recently I upgraded from 9.1 to 9.2 on one of my PCs, and I got a Kde3.3 runing on it. I plan to use this PC as a GM terminal, and set up the sound. When I went on to Control_Center->Sound_n_multimedia I noticed that there is no mixer menu there. One of draw back for this is that I cannot save the current volume setting. It is inconvenient that I have to start setting volume levels whenever I start my session. Thanks in advance for any clue or pointers. yoriaki fujimori

suse 9.3 - Tyan S4882 - Kernel Panic during boot

SATA as hda (not sda)
by Valery Zhuchenko 15 Apr '05

15 Apr '05

Hi! I'm try to install SLES 9 x86 64Bit on AMD ATHLON-64 2800+ (ADA2800) 512K/ 800МГц BOX Socket-754 Micro-Star MS-7032 K8M Neo-V Socket754 <VIA K8M800> AGP+SVGA+LAN SATA HDD 120 Gb SATA150 Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 with using CD1 SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 9 Service Pack 1 for AMD64 and Intel EM64T. Is SATA determination as /dev/hda normal (not /dev/sda)? I'm try with boot option hda=none (/dev/hda not detected, confirmed driver activation for sata_via, error - no hard disks were found for the installation) and without this option (hard disk is detected as /dev/hda). Thank you, Valery.

i586 and i686 RPMs on x86_64
by Karsten Weiss 14 Apr '05

14 Apr '05

Hello! Is it possible to (automatically) create a list of the i586 and i686 RPMs of the (unified) SuSE 9.2 or 9.3 installation DVDs which could possibly be used on a x86_64 installation? E.g. acroread and OpenOffice only exist as i586 RPMs and they are used on a x86_64 system. However, the kernel-bigsmp i586.rpm obviously doesn't make much sense on x86_64.
