SuSE AMD 64 bit supports Intel "Core 2 Duo" ?
by Jean-Lin Pacherie 20 Aug '06

20 Aug '06

Is it politycaly correct to ask here if the new "Core 2 Duo" processors will be suported by SuSE 64bit ? I planed to build a server with AMD 64 x2 processor and / or Opteron 275 but the announces of the "Core 2 Duo" chnaged my mind. In any cases, I will keep SuSE on this new workstation but I need the best processor power. Any clue ? Thank's Jean-Lin

Screensaver not working...
by Tom Corr 03 Aug '06

03 Aug '06

All - I noticed my KDE screensaver has quit running. I can go to kde->configure desktop->screensavers and select any screensaver that i want and they all appear to work from there. I can even right-click my desktop and "lock" my screen, and the screensaver kicks right in. I've even tried to manually run the "kdesktop_lock" program, and it starts my screen saver right up. However, my screensaver does not start automatically after its designated time has lapsed. I have tried this with and without DPMS enabled, with no luck. I have it set to start after 3 minutes. Does anyone have any idea what went wrong? I'm using SuSE 10.1 64 bit with all of the latest updates, on an AMD Athlon 64, with a NVIDIA graphics card. Its a compaq r3000 series laptop.

updates for 10.1
by Rene Salmon 02 Aug '06

02 Aug '06

Hi list, I am trying to mirror the suse 10.1 distro locally to make it easier for me to install and update all our suse x86_64 boxes. I have managed to use rsync to get a working mirror of Suse 10.1 which I used to install on a bunch of x86_64 servers. I can do this with this rsync line: rsync -avP --delete rsync://suse.mirrors.tds.net/opensuse-full/ /scratch/ The updates directory for updates to 10.1 don't seem to be in this rsync module. Does anyone know where the suse 10.1 updates are located and what the rsync line to mirror it would be ? I found this on the suse site but can't seem to get my servers using yast to check for updates there any ideas? http://suse.mirrors.tds.net/pub/suse/update/ thanks Rene

KDE Icon themes not appearing in Kcontrol
by Joel Wiramu Pauling 31 Jul '06

31 Jul '06

Hi there, I am using amd64 version of opensuse 10.1, and the kde 3.5.3 repositories. I can not no matter what I do get icon themes to appear in the kcontrol icon theme manager settings. I've tried copying the /usr/share/icons dir from working ubuntu installs, I've tired installing via the kcontrol with tar.gz 'd themes. When I do it the latter way everything appears to go ok, unpacks into ~/.kde/share/icons/ fine, but the iconpack just does not show up. What could be the problem here? Is there any way of manually regenerating the icon caches or setting the icon theme path manually. I have thought about just replacing the currently referenced theme SVG-Crystal with my pack of choice, but I know that it will screw up inheritance among other things. Kind regards JoelW

Plugin Library Configuration
by Jan Mussche 27 Jul '06

27 Jul '06

Hi, Since today when I start Suse 10.1 a window is opened like on the picture in this mail. I can't do anything with it, I can't hide it, close it, I can't choose anything, can't type anything in the empty fields: nothing. Because it is on top of all other windows it is a pain in the butt. Does anyone know what I can do to make it not start when I boot the computer, I don't want it, I don't need it. Thanks in advance. Jan Mussche

Puzzling inability to use YOU
by Sheo Shanker Prasad 27 Jul '06

27 Jul '06

I am using SuSE 9.3. I had always had a very good experience with YOU. However, I am now totally unable to use YOU. It started with the arrival of the update OpenOffice_org:Security fix for Macro execution problem. The update was downloaded successfully. Unfortunately, in the actual installation stage the machine completely hangs up after 3% of the installation. I tried giving the update a time up to 1 hour. It just remains hang up. During that I cannot abort YOU. THe only thing that I can do is to manually turn-off the computer. Several days later, an update for the Linux Kernel arrived. The same problem. The update process hangs up after 36% of the installation. Please help with suggestions about what to do. Thanks for your help Best regards. Sheo (Sheo S.

Suse 10.1 and DMA error
by Jan Mussche 26 Jul '06

26 Jul '06

- Hi, I installed Suse Linux 10.1 but when I re-start after the initial installation I get an error saying: DMA-STATUS==0x21 This is not a software error Kernel Panic It happens when the system is loading fan and thermal of my harddisk, a 123,5GB U100 IC35V2 8MB drive. I tried several settings in the BIOS for DMA but nothing works: the error keeps coming. I can start the installed OS when I type as options: IDE=NODMA. Then there is no problem, except for the speed which turns my AMD 64 3400+ into a pentium 1. I would like to use my 2 WD 200GB SATA drives which are connected in a software RAID 0 configuration, but since I have no working driver for them I have to use my IDE drive. Does anybody have a driver for the ULi M5289 chipset? Who has an answer for either question/problem? Thanks, Jan Mussche Jan.Mussche(a)orange.nl

SuSE 10.1: ac97 problems
by Bernd Paysan 15 Jul '06

15 Jul '06

Hi, There seems to be a problem with the ac97 microphone input. I tried two different microphones (one active, one passive) with two different ac97 cards (one ATI RS48x, the other NForce4), and all combinations produce a high-pitched whistle. The same microphones on a Creative SoundBlaster E10K sound perfectly fine. I hadn't problems with the passive microphone on SuSE 10.0 with NForce4, but didn't try other combinations back then. -- Bernd Paysan "If you want it done right, you have to do it yourself" http://www.jwdt.com/~paysan/

Automatic launch for usb-disks, dvds etc on SuSE 10.1?

I've made a fresh installation of SuSE 10.1 on a brand new Dell Precision 490.

SuSE 10.1 hang
by Dimitar Georgiev Popov 09 Jul '06

09 Jul '06

Hello, I'm running SuSE 10.1 with the latest updates on Opteron 148, ASUS SK8N with nForce3 and 2x 512MB Super Talent DDR333 Registered ECC. I'm experiencing hangups - everything freezes and nothing can be done. I think it may be a hardware problem, because yesterday there were several thunderstorms, but I'm not aware where to look and what to look for in order to identify it. What have I done: - memtest says nothing for half an hour; may be I should let it work more time; - mcelog says nothing; - /var/log/messages has nothing suspicious; Any help will be appreciated. Many thanks, Mitko

mount: special device /dev/sda1 does not exist
by Ken Southerland 06 Jul '06

06 Jul '06

I'm on SuSE 10.0 and I've got my music on an external hard drive. I use Amarok to play it. Lately amarok has been stopping after a few songs have been played and when I investigate why it has stopped I find that my drive is no longer mounted and I can't get it remounted. ken@saturn>sudo mount /dev/sda1 /music mount: special device /dev/sda1 does not exist ... and the only way that I can find to fix the problem is to reboot the machine. So a) How do I stop this from happening and b) Are there any services that I can restart that will remedy this without having to reboot the machine? In addition, I've been having routine problems with the sound driver alsa and often have to restart it. But when I try to restart after this problem occurs I get the following set of errors... ken@saturn> sudo /usr/sbin/rcalsasound restart Shutting down sound driverERROR: Module snd_seq_dummy does not exist in /proc/modules ERROR: Module snd_pcm_oss does not exist in /proc/modules ERROR: Module snd_mixer_oss does not exist in /proc/modules ERROR: Module snd_seq does not exist in /proc/modules ERROR: Module snd_seq_device does not exist in /proc/modules ERROR: Module snd_intel8x0 does not exist in /proc/modules ERROR: Module snd_ac97_codec does not exist in /proc/modules ERROR: Module snd_ac97_bus does not exist in /proc/modules ERROR: Module snd_pcm does not exist in /proc/modules ERROR: Module snd_timer does not exist in /proc/modules ERROR: Module snd does not exist in /proc/modules ERROR: Module snd_page_alloc does not exist in /proc/modules failed Starting sound driver: intel8x0 done ... I can't help but think the drive mounting problem and this problem are related. The problem really manifests itself when I can't mount my backup drive either to backup my system because of course I can't mount any external drives once the error occurs (again until I reboot the system). Thanks for any assistance you can give. Ken -- ------s----a----m----s----i----x----e----d----d------ -- Ken Southerland Senior Consultant Sam Six EDD, Inc. 503-236-4288 http://www.samsixedd.com

SuSe 10.1 Hangs -- Problem Solved
by Jason Vertrees 05 Jul '06

05 Jul '06

To any concerned: I recently upgraded from 9.3 to 10.1. For some reason, my machine became unstable under load. It would hang and I'd have to hard boot. I never had problems with 9.3. My system is a: MSI K8T800 Master2 FAR 1GB RAM NVidia 5900 Ultra 3 HDs (2x SATA, 1 IDE) and usual accessories I thought it could be a power supply problem, but I have an Antec TruePower 430, so that shouldn't be the case. But, to test it, I removed two of the 4 hard drives and that still didn't help. Then, I salvaged a NIC (3COM) from an old machine and turned off the on-board NIC. That DID seem to solve the problem. So, if you run into similar problems on an MSI K8T800 Master2 FAR, you might want to try that $4 NIC collecting dust in your closet. -- Jason P.S.: Kudos to the SuSe team for a great distro -- great work! -- Jason Vertrees javertre(a)utmb.edu

Hi! I bought this Suse 10.1 and I am using this for specialised computational biology work. I have a 2x dual core opteron processor (in total 4 opterons!) loaded ona K8N-DL mother board which can support upto 24 GB memory. I am currently working with 4GB RAM. I want to know if I can put 24 GB RAM and whether Suse 10.1 can handle this much of RAM.
