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

SK8N SUSE 9.3 problems
by Marcin Zalewski 12 Sep '05

12 Sep '05

Hello, I am trying to install SUSE 9.3 on Asus SK8N motherboard running Opteron. I use the built-in Promise SATA controller with two disks in IDE mode. I was able to perfectly run SuSE 9.1 on this system for a long, long time. Now, with SuSE 9.3 I am not even able to get through the installation. It seems that the disk access causes the installation to hang sooner or later. When files are being copied the installation just freezes. It seems that this problem is not specific to SUSE. Any other distro with 2.6 kernel that I tried freezes in the same way as SUSE. Does anyone have a success story installing SUSE 9.3 on a similar setup? And also, is there some way that I can save kernel messages during installation? Thanks, Marcin Zalewski

xine on AMD64
by Alex 10 Aug '05

10 Aug '05

Hi I'm using SuSE professional 9.3 on a AMD64. To be able to watch DVD's, I compiled Xine from sources with the needed packages. Compiling xine-lib and xine-ui doesn't make any problems, but after launching xine, I have the foolowing error message: Cannot open display "*". Segmentation fault. After I changed the DISPLAY Variable to 127.0.0.1 and exported it, the first error message doesn't appear, but I get the segfault again. The interesting thing is that DVD's could be read in kaffeine without problems, so I think the problem is in xine-ui. Has anybody a hint?? Thanx Al

screen config problem
by Colin Carter 02 Aug '05

02 Aug '05

Hi, I posted this question a month ago but had to go to London and didn't resolve the issue, but I hope you will bare with me on this one. Over this last month I have been trying, but no solution. I have a new AMD64 laptop from TPG, but TPG are very secretive about the contents of the box and refuse to discuss Linux (though it makes no sense to sell a 64 bit machine with XP ! ) However, XP tells me that the screen resolution is 1280 x 800 at 60 Hz and the adapter is an SiS, model: 651_661FX_741_760_760GX_M661FX_M661MX_M741_M on PCI bus 1, device 0, function 0 64 MB of the main RAM appears to be used for the video The problem is that 1. SuSE 9.1 install starts properly (full screen, good quality graphics with menus, edit boxes etc. 2. internet connects and tests correctly 3. downloads latest SuSE updates automatically 4. lots of software appears to be correctly installed 5. system reboots from hard disk 6. requests, and achieves, setup for root and for a user 7. system reboots and requests loggin 8. system then says that it cannot determine monitor characters, and asks if I want to configure manually? Note: up until this point the system has had zero problem with displaying windows, graphics etc. Something in the initial SuSE code "gets it right". 8.(cont) If I configure manually or not the system then jumps into some ridiculous mode of 0 x 0 pixels. Thus, it appears that the SuSE programmer requests the screen dimensions, and receives 0 x 0 and fails to check the values, and simply attempts to use 0 x 0, thereby sending the system into convoltions. I can only switch off the electricty at this point. When I try to reboot from the hard disc everything goes well until the system gets to the loggin screen whereby the screen promptly jumps into convoltions again. Booting with F2 setting the screen dimensions does not help. How can the initial part of the SuSE code get the screen perfectly correct while the latter part stuffs it up? Any ideas on how to interrupt the boot process and set the screen parameters? Any ideas on how to get SuSE to fix this bug? Regards, Colin

Tyan K8S Pro ?
by Harald Milz 01 Aug '05

01 Aug '05

Hi, does someone have experience with SL (Pro or SLES) on the Thunder K8S Pro (S2882G3NR-D) (http://www.tyan.com/products/html/thunderk8spro.html) together with an areca ARC-1160 (Intel IOP331 based) 16-port SATA RAID controller? Most of the components will work just fine, I just wonder about the on-board Sil3114 SATA and Intel IOP based RAID controllers. The manufacturer of the 16-port adapter claims Linux support (RH, SUSE) but which drivers are the correct ones? The Sil3314 should work with the sata_sil driver, right? When I installed my Asus A8V board I had to manually load libata and sata-via before firing up YaST during installation, I assume that's the same here. As for the ARC-1160, I have a certain idea after browsing the kernel source of my SL92 and SL93 machines (and googling all along, for sure). The machine in question will have all 16 disks attached to the 16-port controller, I can only assume that it should boot off this adapter too. The manufacturer seems to have drivers available on ftp://60.248.88.208/RaidCards/AP_Drivers/Linux/DRIVER/Suse-9.0-SLES-x86-64 and ../Suse-9.2-Professional-x86-64_Beta. Hmmm ... as it seems, the driver is _not_ contained in the standard kernel tree (as opposed to what the vendor says on http://www.areca.us/news/html/release_5_6_05.htm - "The Linux and FreeBSD driver have integrated in the kernel tree.") Which means my customer is tied to a specific kernel version, and loses the arcmsr driver on each YOU kernel update :-(( Hence, each kernel update would involve installing the most recent kernel source, integrating the arcmsr source code, modifying some source files, rebuilding and praying. SUSE: no support whatsoever. Andreas (Jaeger), any idea how we could help the customer in this case? Anyway - which distro should I be going for? SLES9 makes no sense IMHO because the machine is not certified hence no support in any case. SL92 is slightly more recent as far as the kernel, the rest is pretty much on the latest identical SUSE9-CORE level. Thanks for any hint!

Suse 9.3 + DFI LanParty Ultra-D, and dual core 4200+
by Elvis Chen 26 Jul '05

26 Jul '05

greetings, I'm building a new dual-core AMD system with the following spec: AMD dual-core CPU (4200+) with 1GB of RAM, DFI Ultra-D nforce-4 socket-939 MB with the latest BIOS flashed (June 23) Seagate 160GB SATA BenQ DVDRW Chaintech 5200TC video card (PCIx) With the latest BIOS, dual-core CPU is recognized at POST. MEMtest ran without any problem. I tried to perform FTP installation of Suse 9.3 using the boot.iso. The beginning of the installation went without any problems: I was able to select the packages, etc., and it grabbed the files from my NFS sever, etc. all is fine at this point. However, upon the *1st* reboot of the SUSE installation process, the screen just hang (black) after GRUB boot-loader. I had to perform a hard-reboot. So my question is: does the standard kernel on the Suse 9.3 installation CD support dual-core CPU? I suspect it doesn't and what what causes the black screen. any help is very much appreciated,

Running SuSe on MSI RS480 Mother Board
by Anirban Biswas 26 Jul '05

26 Jul '05

Hi does any one able to run SuSe on MSI RS480 Mother Board. I tried to Install SuSe 9.2 on it but failed. At first my SATA hard disk does not get detected. So I installed a 40 GB PATA hard disk and tried to install SuSe 9.2 64 bit version. SuSe was taking too much time to partition the hard disk and the cpoying of RPM were also slow. Even some pckages were not get copied at all. And in the last whole installation frezzes due to a kernel panic. Also I got lots of APIC error on CPU:40 (40) If any body able to run SuSe 9.2 or more current version on the above mentioned mother board please help me to setup my new machine. TIA Anirban Biswas. -- Masjid dha de, mandir dha de, dha de jo kucch dainda Par kisi da dil na dhain, Rab dilan vich rehnda..

Please help with the some NUMA-related questions
by Sheo Shanker Prasad 26 Jul '05

26 Jul '05

I will greatly appreciate any help regarding the following matters: (1) How to know whether my machine is NUMA-aware or not, (2) Difference between memory bank interleaving and node interleaving (3) When the BIOS asks me to set bank interleaving as AUTO, then it says that AUTO allows memory access to spread out over banks on the same node or across nodes decreasing memory access contentions. However, I have no idea when the memory access is spread over banks on the same node or across nodes. I also do not know how to tell the machine to access memory across the nodes or on the same node. I have no idea as to how the AUTO choice affects NUMA-awareness. (4) The BIOS also tells me that I could choose bani interleaving as DISABLED. But I do not know what its implications are for NUMA awareness. Here are other relevant details. I have a dual-Opteron 250 (2.4GHz) set in Tyan Thunder 2885 K8W with AMIBIOS version 2.05. When I bought it last year, the machine was running under SuSE 9.1 Pro and the Linux kernel was 2.6.5-7.108-smp. At that time both the Hardware Info from YAST and /vat/log/messages were explicitly mentioning things : Scanning NUMA topology in Northbridge 24 <6>Number of nodes 2 (10010) <6>Node 0 MemBase 0000000000000000 Limit 000000007fffffff <6>Node 1 MemBase 0000000080000000 Limit 00000000cbff0000 <6>Using node hash shift of 24 These messages indicated that NODE interleaving was off and the machine was NUMA-aware. Then, after a few months, the motherboard failed and the machine was sent to the vendor for repair. It came back with SuSE 9.3 and the Linux kernel version 2.6.11.4-21.7-smp (geeko@buildhost) (gcc version 3.3.5 20050117 (prerelease) (SUSE Linux)) #1 SMP Thu Jun 2 14:23:14 UTC 2005. Now both the Hardware Info from YAST and /vat/log/messages DO NOT mention NUMA anywhere, and I do not have anyway to check whether the NODE-Interleaving is OFF or ON. My difficulties are compounded because I do not know how to interpret the chipset related setting in the BIOS. Currently, in the BIOS setting (Chipset->memory config -> Bank Interleaving), I am asked to choose between AUTO & DISABLED. No choice is offered for Node Interleaving. The only guidance for the choice is that interleaving allows memory access to spread out over banks on the same node or across nodes decreasing memory access contentions. Nothing is mentioned about what happens when Interleaving is disabled. Furthermore, if I choose AUTO, then I do not know when the memory is spread out over banks on the same node or across nodes. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanking you in advance. -- Best regards. Sheo (Sheo S.

schedutil/Taskset
by Sheo Shanker Prasad 25 Jul '05

25 Jul '05

I gather that many Linux distributions come with schedutils of which taskset is a subset. This is indeed the case for SuSE 9- Enterprise server and for Fedora-core 3. What is the situation with SuSE 9.3 -Professional Series? As of this time, I am unable to find it in the distribution that I have. Could it be that it is included in the SuSE 9.3-Pro distribution and the vendor of my machine did not install it and that is why I do not not find it? In this case I may have to install them from the SuSE 9.3-Pro DVDs. Alternatively, could it be that schedutils & taskset come with Enterprise server only, and if I want these I will have to download them from their respective Homepages? Your advice will be greatly appreciated. Best regards. Sheo (Sheo S.

Hi all, This is a follow-up to "Configuring gcc 4.0.1". I made sure that I no longer had CXX defined in my .bashrc, and then started from scratch: Created gcc-4.0.1-obj Ran ./configure Ran make bootstrap Ran make -k check The gcc result looks OK.

Zaurus usb support/Kernel upgrade
by edward winston 22 Jul '05

22 Jul '05

Hello, I have a sharp zaurus, the sl-6000, and it appears that after my upgrade to 9.3 the device is no longer seen. Specifically, I cannot connect with usb networking. The kernel notices when i plug it in, but the usb0 ethernet device is not created. I have read that this is a known problem with the 2.6.11 kernel, so I was wondering if there will be an update to a 2.6.12 kernel. or a patch to 2.6.11 that will allow me to continue connecting to my zaurus. If not, is a kotd kernel an option? Or should I go with a vanilla kernel? Thanks, edward

I've run into problems with the testsuite and I don't know whether I have done something wrong or am seeing a bug. I also don't know if what I see is specific to SUSE AMD64, or specific to the current state of my PC. First question: Is there anything wrong with the parameters I am giving to configure?

Firefox 1.0.6 Crash
by Karaoulis Marios 21 Jul '05

21 Jul '05

I just installed firefox 1.0.6 from ftp.gwdg.de. Before that i had 1.0.4 which worked fine. Now, firefox crashes after 2-3 minute4s. I am not very sure, but i think that it has something to do with the flash (or at least some sites i visit which have flash). This is the error message The program 'Gecko' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadShmSeg (invalid shared segment parameter)'. (Details: serial 90 error_code 169 request_code 147 minor_code 2) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.) Is there any solution? P.S. Of course i have the 32 bit version of firefox __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Dear All I have just completed an ftp installation of SuSE 9.3 x86_64. I have done a YOU update (including the Multimedia Option Packs 1 - 4) and everything seems fine...until i try to install a new package. i am trying to install "abcde". I select the package within YaST and it then comes back with a number of packages the system thinks it needs to install. This includes such things as OpenOffice and other packages which i do not feel are really needed by abcde. When i then click OK/Install YaST fails to find the packages on the media. Can anybody point me towards a solution? TIA Tim
