Hi! Afterupdating to 11.4 I noticed regular beeps from the speaker especially after computer is switched on. Now I found the cause: the kernel reports "No human readable MCE decoding support on this CPU". How can I combat it? I have Intel Core2 Duo. I woder if this will affect the next openSUSE release as well. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

And it seems the error is as follows: mcelog: failed to prefill DIMM database from DMI data -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

You mean Intel? :-) Under 11.3 all was OK. I just applied "nomce" option to kernel, so got rid me of those annoying beeps. For all those months after the 11.4 release I just wondered why are those beeps. I suspected keyboard buffer overflow, network events, memory shortage and anything else. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Sorry I did not understnd what you are talking about. What is "Yast2 system runlevel", what should I turn off, for what it should stop look and what is K## and S##? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

For what you want to do, it's not really required to understand the init runlevel subsystem (although that is good to know, though). All you need to do is run "YaST System Services (Runlevel)" from the YaST menu under the System section. It presents a list of the system startup/stop scripts, and allows you to enable or disable running any. Just highlight the mcelog line and then hit the Disable button below and then hit OK; MCE will not start any longer. Note: This module is for "experts". While it is OK to disable the mcelog service, it is important not to disable a service unless you are absolutely sure what you are doing. Disabling some services can sometimes prevent proper startup in a given runlevel. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

I already uninstalled the mcelog package to get rid of the beeps. How can I disable it if I uninstalled it? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

If you "uninstalled" it, *why* would you need to disable it?

Huh??? Of course if it is not installed, it isn't there to disable. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Have you tried toggling mcelog off(or on) in Yast->System Services(Runlevel)? You can stop/start the service here manually as well as controlling what it does at boot. -Mike -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
