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

Problem with keyboard
by Luc Renambot 06 Jun '05

06 Jun '05

I have an Opteron machine running 9.3 with a weird keyboard behavior. It's a Tyan 2895 K8WE (the dual PCI-express one) with 2x Opteron 250 on it, and 4GB of RAM. As soon as I start X (KDE), the keyboard starts behaving erratic: if I press one key, I get a several times the same character. Very annoying. It behaves fine in the console mode (without X). I played around with BIOS settings (key repeat and delay), and the X11 settings. Still the same. It does it both with a PS2 and a USB keyboard. Anybody have seen anything like this ? ...Luc...

Is artsdsp broken in 64-bit 9.3?
by Constantine 'Gus' Fantanas 29 May '05

29 May '05

Hello all. When I try to run skype (which is a 32-bit binary) with artsdsp, I get the following errors: gus@presario:~> artsdsp skype & [1] 9858 gus@presario:~> sh: error while loading shared libraries: /opt/kde3/lib/libartsdsp.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory sh: error while loading shared libraries: /opt/kde3/lib/libartsdsp.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory sh: error while loading shared libraries: /opt/kde3/lib/libartsdsp.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory sh: error while loading shared libraries: /opt/kde3/lib/libartsdsp.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory That makes me wonder whether something is broken in the 64-bit 9.3 sound support. The computer my 64-bit 9.3 is running on is a Presario laptop, with a 2.2 GHz AMD64, nvidia chipset and nvidia graphics card (which is why I bought it in the first place). 'libartsdsp.so.0' exists, but in '/opt/kde3/lib64', not in '/opt/kde3/lib'. Has SuSE compile artsdsp as a 32-bit program? We do need artsdsp so we can use programs, like skype, which monopolize the sound card. (Sure, another option would be a sound card with more than one hardware channels, capable of hardware mixing, but how do you find such on a laptop?) Is java compiled as 32-bit or as 64-bit in stock 9.3? CF

Cannot establish PPTP VPN using MS-CHAPv2
by Bart Boelaert 28 May '05

28 May '05

Hello all, I've been using the 64-bit version of Suse Linux Professional on a dual AMD Opteron system since the first x86_64 release (= Suse 9.1). Ever since that time, I've been trying to establish a PPTP VPN connection to my company's VPN gateway. However, all my attempts were unsuccessful. Each time a new release came out, I upgraded to this release in the hope that the problem would be fixed. Currently, I'm running Suse Linux Professional 9.3. But still, the problem has not been resolved. In the meantime I discovered that I can succesfully establish a PPTP VPN connection using MS-CHAPv2 in the 32-bit version of Suse (tested under VMWare). In the 64-bit version of the PPTP-client, the whole system freezes when the PPTP-connection is being established. I use pptp-command to setup and establish the VPN connection. Below are the specs of my system configuration : Tyan dual Opteron mainboard Dual AMD Opteron 240 Suse 9.3 Professional (x86_64 version) Kernel 2.6.11.4-20a-smp pptp-1.5.0-3 ppp-2.4.3-9 smpppd-1.58-6 /etc/ppp/chap-secrets myusername PPTP mypasswd PPTP myusername mypasswd /etc/ppp/options.pptp lock noauth nobsdcomp nodeflate require-mppe refuse-eap mtu 1000 mru 1000 lcp-echo-failure 10 lcp-echo-interval 10 /etc/ppp/peers/myvpnconnection # Server IP: 100.100.100.100 # Route: add -host 100.100.100.100 gw DEF_GW # Route: add -net 192.168.32.0/24 dev TUNNEL_DEV # Route: add -net 192.168.1.0/24 dev TUNNEL_DEV name myusername remotename PPTP file /etc/ppp/options.pptp When I enable debugging, this is what's being logged : May 28 17:01:51 linux pptp[9330]: anon log[main:pptp.c:243]: The synchronous pptp option is NOT activated May 28 17:01:51 linux pptp[9333]: anon log[ctrlp_rep:pptp_ctrl.c:243]: Sent control packet type is 1 'Start-Control-Connection-Request' May 28 17:01:51 linux pptp[9333]: anon log[ctrlp_disp:pptp_ctrl.c:721]: Received Start Control Connection Reply May 28 17:01:51 linux pptp[9333]: anon log[ctrlp_disp:pptp_ctrl.c:755]: Client connection established.

Apparently something goes wrong during the MS-CHAPv2 handshake, but I'm not a programmer to figure this out. Does someone has a similar problem? Can this problem be fixed? I really want to keep on working with the 64-bit version. The PPTP-problem is the only reason for still having a Windows system in the closet. So, if someone can come up with a fix, I will be very happy to dump this M$-system. I really appreciate any of your help! Kind regards, Bart.

Wifi Issue on Aspire 1522LMi
by Barry Premeaux 26 May '05

26 May '05

I just installed 9.2 on the my 1522LMi. During install, Yast saw the internal wireless card and I was able to set it up. KWifiManager says there is no interface. Running ifconfig shows only eth0 and no eth1. Yast set it up as 'AMBIT Microsystem (AirConn) INPROCOMM IPN2220 Wireless LAN Adapter'. Info Center shows the device on the PCI Bus. Can anyone help me on this? Barry

QUESTIONS FOR THE GURUS
by Constantine 'Gus' Fantanas 25 May '05

25 May '05

Hello, I installed 9.3 on my Compaq Presario laptop just a couple of days ago. I did a clean install because I had 9.2 and the upgrade was too picky about packages I had installed from apt-get. I have a couple of really esoteric questions which I think only gurus can answer. (1) Per Andreas Yaeger of SuSE, Firefox has been compiled as a 32-bit application (I installed the one that came on the SuSE 9.3 DVD). However, I observed that it can invoke 64-bit plugins (such as Acrobat and MPlayer) just fine! I even used 'strace' to make sure the plugins made calls to 64-bit libraries. How come, then, and a 32-bit Firefox can invoke 64-bit plugins, but a 64-bit plugin cannot invoke 32-bit plugins? (Currently, only a 64-bit konqueror can invoke 32-bit plugins.) (2) aRTS and artsdsp (both presumably 64-bit) seem to handle 64-bit programs fine. However, 32-bit programs like skype (www.skype.com --distributed as a 32-bit binary) and flash player seem to want to monopolize the sound card (skype is still not aRTS-compatible, even on 32-bit systems, but on a 32-bit system 'artsdsp skype' puts a"wrapper" around skype and routes its sound transactions through the aRTS sound server, so it shares the sound card). 64-bit programs seem to work fine in this respect, e.g. I can hear the sound output from my MPlayer (compiled from source as 64-bit) and amarok at the same time. My suspicion is that that artsdsp is 64-bits and cannot handle the 32-bit skype properly for some reason. (If I try to place a call via skype after amarok started playing, I get the error '/dsp/dsp-1: Device or resource busy' and if a fire up amarok after bringing up skype --even via 'artsdsp skype'-- amarok does not play until I shut down skype.) However, artsdsp does not send any error output to the terminal nor does it send any output to '/var/log/messages'. So, is there any way to make aRTS and artsdsp properly handle 32-bit programs? Is there any way to make 32-bit applications share the sound card with 64-bit applications?

OpenOffice/PDF
by Mike Roy 25 May '05

25 May '05

Hello everyone: I'm running SuSE 9.3/64-bit mode. In OpenOffice, if I want to save a file as a PDF, I click on the icon and the file appears in the folder. However, when I go to open the file, I get an error message alerting me to: configure Ghostview When I go to the Ghostview link, I'm not sure what to do or what to correct. The file is also 'incomplete', a two-page document may only show the first one or two paragarphs. Has anyone had this same problem. Under earlier flavors of OpenOffice, the PDF format was part of the 'print' menu, but, under v 2.0, PDF has its own button. Any help greatly appreciated. Cheers, Mike

OpenOffice/PDF (solved - sort of)
by Mike Roy 24 May '05

24 May '05

Hello everyone: Well, it appears that there's a problem with Ghostview when I export a PDF file from OpenOffice. If I open Acrobat, I can read the exported OO file with no problems. BUT, if I simply 'click' on the file's icon, I continue to get the Ghostview error message. Seems that Ghostview is the problem and not Acrobat nor OpenOffice. Thanks for the help. Cheers, Mike
