RE: [suse-amd64] Touchpad Issues in 9.3
by Black, Alain 12 Jun '05

12 Jun '05

I have a similar issue with my desktop machine running SuSE 9.3 32bit that's hooked up to a KVM. When I switch back to the SuSE desktop the mouse goes haywire (large movements across the screen and random mouse clicks when I do not click the mouse buttons). The PC is a Dell Optiplex GX270. Then I get "lost synchronization, throwing 3 bytes away", sometimes it's 2 bytes and other times 1 byte. I never see the driver resynched message though. My workaround (part of which will not work for a touch pad) is to move the mouse about a quarter of an inch, which throws the cursor all over the screen, and then let it sit for a couple of seconds. When that doesn't work, I pick the mouse up until it can't read a surface below it and put it back down. It's a 3 button, wheel PS/2 optical mouse from Key Tronics hooked up to a Belkin OmniView SoHo series KVM. -Alain. -----Original Message----- From: Barry Premeaux [mailto:bpremeaux@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, June 09, 2005 10:52 AM To: suse-amd64(a)suse.com Subject: [suse-amd64] Touchpad Issues in 9.3 I have an Acer Aspire 1522LMi. I have been trying various 32/64 bit installs with 9.2/9.3 as I learn what works and what doesn't. I've settled on a 9.3 32 bit install which will let me set up the internal winmodem and wifi interfaces. One issue has been the Touchpad mouse under 9.3. I get a hesitation that sometimes requires that I wait a moment before trying to move the pointer. The message log file shows the following: linux kernel: psmouse.c: TouchPad at isa0060/serio4/input 0 lost sync at byte 1 linux kernel: psmouxe.c: TouchPad at isa0060/serio4/input 0 lost sync at byte 1 linux kernel: psmouse.c: TouchPad at isa0060/serio4/input 0 lost sync at byte 4 linux kernel: psmouse.c: TouchPad at isa0060/serio4/input 0 - driver resynched Occasionally you will also see: linux kernel: psmouse.c: issuing reconnect request I went into SAX2 and changed from the Synaptics Touchpad setup to Explorer/PS2 and rebooted. Still got the same messages. I also tried turning off the wheelmouse and setting it to 3 button emulation, but this didn't make a difference either. Does anyone have ideas on this one?

When will 9.3 FTP Install be available?
by Ron Lau 12 Jun '05

12 Jun '05

My poor Shuttle XPC AMD64 has not had SuSE installed since 9.1 because of the SATA drivers and the Nvidia chipset drivers, and no DVD drive. :) -- R.

mount: RPC: Program not registered
by Christian Del Taglia 12 Jun '05

Hi, I am currently not able to mount shares on a dual opteron running with SuSE 9.2. A brief hosts description: oberon: Dual opteron PC with SuSE 9.2 osiris: File server with Windows Server 2003 polaris: Dual athlon PC mit SuSE 9.0 Problem: oberon is not able to mount osiris' share: with the command " mount -t smbfs //osiris/scsi-raid /S -o username=cfd " it seems to work, but then with "df" I get " Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sda2 77085512 4259256 72826256 6% / tmpfs 1770980 12 1770968 1% /dev/shm df: `/S': Permission denied " The same mount command works perfectly on polaris. I thought it was a problem with the connection between oberon and osiris (Windows). However, mounting polaris' share neither works: On polaris I put the line "/usr oberon(rw)" in /etc/exports and did "exportfs -a". On oberon I wrote " mkdir /usr_polaris mount polaris:/usr /usr_polaris " Answer: " mount server reported tcp not available, falling back to udp mount: RPC: Program not registered " With yast2 I checked out whether nfs-packages are missing. However, everything seems to be ok. Does anybody of you have an idea?

Re: [pptp-devel] Cannot establish PPTP VPN using MS-CHAPv2 on Suse 9.3 x86_64 - issue solved
by Bart Boelaert 12 Jun '05

12 Jun '05

Hello James and everyone else suffering with the same problem, I took the latest stock Suse 9.3 kernel source (2.6.11.4-21.7-smp), compared it with the modifications of Matt's MPPE patch and manually applied the modifications to the kernel source. After compilation, the ppp modules integrated flawlessly into the running kernel! For the first time since the x86_64 release of Suse 9.1, I was able to successfully establish a PPTP VPN connection to the VPN gateway of my company using MS-CHAPv2!!! I also successfully performed several tests with other PPTP VPN gateways. For those desperately seeking for a solution, below is a link to the patch you should apply to the Suse kernel source (I suppose this patch should work also for single CPU kernels) : http://www.boelaert.com/linuxpatches/suse-9.3-x86_64-2.6.11.4-21.7-smp-ppp_… I will also notify the Suse guys about this issue. Thanks for the tip James (you made my week-end!) and thanks to everyone, especially Matt Domsch, for their contribution towards the final solution! Now, I can start thinking about wiping my Window$ system. ;-) Kind regards, Bart.

RE: [suse-amd64] number of CPUs for SMP kernels
by Black, Alain 11 Jun '05

11 Jun '05

Does that count physical processors or cores on the processors? Currently AMD has dual core CPU's on the market, they are supposed to release quad core CPU's sometime in Q1 2006. Would we then be restricted to 2 quad core CPU's? -Alain. -----Original Message----- From: Andi Kleen [mailto:ak@suse.de] Sent: Friday, June 10, 2005 1:13 PM To: Mikhail Kuzminsky Cc: suse-amd64(a)suse.com Subject: Re: [suse-amd64] number of CPUs for SMP kernels On Fri, Jun 10, 2005 at 10:47:51PM +0400, Mikhail Kuzminsky wrote: > Sorry, > what is the restriction for number of CPU's > for standard SMP kernels used for SuSE 9.0 (2.4.21) > and 9.1 (Professional) ?

freeze of K3b v0.10 with SuSE 9.0 AMD64
by patheve2 11 Jun '05

11 Jun '05

Hello all I have some problems with K3b 0.10 coming from SuSE 9.0 AMD64. The system is well upgraded with YOU. But since the beginning of the installation (10 months) up to now, I can't burn any CD : K3b always freezes when I start the burn (data CD). Is there an appropriate upgrade of K3b for SuSE 9.0, which allows a full use of this software ? Kind regards Pascal

Sorry, what is the restriction for number of CPU's for standard SMP kernels used for SuSE 9.0 (2.4.21) and 9.1 (Professional) ? Yours Mikhail Kuzminsky Zelinsky Institute of Organic Chemistry Moscow

I have an MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum that I am quite pleased with. I use the Parallel ATA as well at SATA. The only piece that I have not tried yet is the firewire as I haven't had any digital editing to do since I hooked this system up. -Alain. -----Original Message----- From: Mikhail Kuzminsky [mailto:kus@free.net] Sent: Friday, June 10, 2005 10:17 AM To: suse-amd64(a)suse.com Subject: [suse-amd64] Mobos/Chipsets for Athlon64 3200+ &SuSE Linux 9.x I serached in SuSE hardware compatibility DB, but didn't find the necessary information.
