Firefox 1.0.5 for SuSE 9.2 and Evolution
by Alexandre Moutinho Santos 22 Jul '05

22 Jul '05

I downloaded the rpm of Firefox 1.0.5 from ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/mozilla for SuSE 9.2. I noticed that from this version the Firefox app is 32 bits - FlashPlayer now works:-) but the problem is that this new rpm has broken Evolution - can't find libplc4.so. After downgraded to 1.0.4 Evolution now works. Alex

Configuring gcc 4.0.1
by Paul C. Leopardi 22 Jul '05

22 Jul '05

Hi all, I'm using SUSE 9.2 AMD64, and have downloaded the latest gcc and am about to bootstrap. Is there anyone who can help me with configuration, bootstrap, test and install? 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? (see below) Best regards My current gcc: leopardi@linfinit:~/src/gcc/gcc-4.0.1-obj> gcc -v Reading specs from /usr/lib64/gcc-lib/x86_64-suse-linux/3.3.4/specs Configured with: ../configure --enable-threads=posix --prefix=/usr --with-local-prefix=/usr/local --infodir=/usr/share/info --mandir=/usr/share/man --enable-languages=c,c++,f77,objc,java,ada --disable-checking --libdir=/usr/lib64 --enable-libgcj --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/g++ --with-slibdir=/lib64 --with-system-zlib --enable-shared --enable-__cxa_atexit x86_64-suse-linux Thread model: posix gcc version 3.3.4 (pre 3.3.5 20040809) I've run configure in the directory ~/src/gcc/gcc-4.0.1-obj as leopardi@linfinit:~/src/gcc/gcc-4.0.1-obj> ../gcc-4.0.1/configure --prefix=/usr/local/gcc/gcc-4.0.1 --enable-threads=posix --disable-libgcj --with-system-zlib --enable-shared --enable-__cxa_atexit --enable-languages=c,c++ x86_64-suse-linux This looks like it worked, but gave the warning: configure: warning: x86_64-suse-linux: invalid host type

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!

Oracle 10g - 64bit ?
by Kevin Wilson 20 Jul '05

20 Jul '05

>From what I have found there isn't a 64-bit Oracle 10gR(x) for AMD Opteron systems? From the info I have found you have to assume the 2.4 kernel and the db server software runs in 32-bit mode. Is this correct?

Wierd YaST Software Install Dependencies
by TimSchofield.7552659＠bloglines.com 20 Jul '05

20 Jul '05

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

RE: [suse-amd64] Problems Installing 9.3 on DFI K8M800 - Please Help
by Black, Alain 20 Jul '05

Frank, I did this during the initial install. I had two SATA disks that I wished to stripe, so during the install, when it was talking about partitioning, I selected LINUX RAID for the partition type and then selected what it was being striped with from the 2nd disk. I do not know if there is a way to stripe/mirror after the machine has already been installed. -Alain. -----Original Message----- From: Frank L.

Frank, What driver are you using? The onboard RAID is not real hardware RAID and requires drivers to make it work. I went the route of configuring software RAID instead of using my onboard VIA and have been quite happy with it. -Alain. -----Original Message----- From: Frank L.

Problems Installing 9.3 on DFI K8M800 - Please Help

Good Afternoon: I am attempting to install SuSE 9.3 on a DFI Motherboard K800M800-MLVF utilizing the onboard VT8237 serial controller in RAID 1. I have updated the mobo bios to the latest available. I have entered the VIA bios and configured it as RAID 1 with the two Seagate 160MB SATA Drives. I then do the install of SuSE 9.3. It gets through the first portion of the install with no problems. On reboot before the second portion, the system hangs with GRUB Loading stage1.5. The motherboard is a DFI K8M800-MLVF with 512MB RAM and an AMD64 3000+. What other information can I provide so that I can get the thing up? Just booting from the CD seems fine. I can even boot into rescue mode. I sure that I'm missing something simple, but unfortunately I don't have a clue. Thanks in advance, Frank

DVD - no boot
by Mike Roy 19 Jul '05

19 Jul '05

Hello everyone: I'm running SuSE 9.3 / 64-bit mode and I tried to make a back-up copy of the dual-layer DVD. According the K3D, I did just that as the file sizes were identical. However, the copies I made will not boot. If the machine is up and running and I want to install software through YAST, then the copy DVD works OK. But, if I try to boot from the copy DVD, nothing happens. What have I done/not done and, more importantly, is there a way to correct this. Any help greatly appreciated. Cheers, Mike

Howto build 32bit apps on amd64 suse 9.3?
by Fred van Zwieten 18 Jul '05

18 Jul '05

Hi all, I am trying to compile syncekonnector-0.2.1 on a suse 9.3 amd64 platform. It depends on synce and synce-devel packages with are both (to my knowledge 32bit packages. configure complains about de synce libraries not being compatible in config.log. So, I instructed configure to use 32bit compile (-m32). Now, it complains it can't find libXext, but I know it's there (devel packages are both in 64bit and 32bit present). I'm not a devel guy, who to get out of this mess?
